Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 120

116. (Breaking News) Han Woohyun Is Dating

 

I want to ignore it.

 

I really want to ignore it.

 

Even though I was thinking that, I couldn’t ignore the sign floating in the air.

 

↰

 

It means turning left.

 

Go in the direction the compass points.

 

Let’s take a break from the quest over the weekend. Please. 

 

Even as I was thinking that, I suddenly stumbled and got up from my seat.

 

As the manager said, am I really a workaholic?

 

Meanwhile, Geumdong and Toto were lying against each other’s bodies, making a noise as if they were falling asleep.

 

Toto always beats up Geumdong, so why does he give up his side all the time?

 

Anyway, affection is scary.

 

When I opened the door and turned left, I saw wooden stairs leading downstairs.

 

There were no lights in the store, which made the dark stairs look gloomy.

 

↓

 

Go down?

 

Ha… You’re not asking me to eat porridge right now, are you?

 

These days, I feel like this status window is strangely taking care of me.

 

Of course, if I let my guard down, it’ll try to tease me, so I have to stay alert.

 

…This is the only reasonable doubt I have at this point.

 

What if Merlin Gray isn’t dead like my dad?

 

What if Merlin Gray also fell into a gap of dimension?

 

My head hurts.

 

It’s not a reasonable doubt, it’s just an imagination.

 

It was clear that Aunt Heeyoung had greatly expanded my imagination. 

 

Before, I used to believe that having less imagination makes life easy.

 

But it was then. 

 

My steps stopped.

 

It was because someone’s shadow was reflected over the translucent glass door.

 

“….?”

 

For a moment, I felt a chill in my spine.

 

Because the shadow that looked like a man was standing still, I thought for a moment if the shadow on the glass wasn’t really a person’s shadow but the shadow of something else. 

 

Maybe I saw something wrong because I had a fever…

 

…No it is not. 

 

The arrow was pointing precisely towards the man, as if he was trying to make fun of the person. 

 

Go out, is this it?

 

Why should I do that?

 

But at that moment, a thought crossed my mind.

 

A thought that can’t be ignored.

 

I took slow steps and walked to the door.

 

When I pushed the glass door, a heavy piece of flesh caught on the door.

 

That was when I flinched at the feeling of something like a rock. 

 

The door was pulled open by a strong force.

 

It is not just a somewhat strong power, but a power so strong that even I, a hunter, can’t resist it in the slightest.

 

“….!”

 

Like a scarecrow, I flew around and landed on the floor next to the door.

 

“Are you okay? I… I didn’t know you were there.” 

 

Someone looked down at me as I sat down.

 

Brown eyes that seemed difficult to understand.

 

The owner of those eyes looked down at me and looked scared.

 

I could clearly see that he was worried that I might have gotten even slightly hurt.

 

It makes me wonder what I found so strange about these eyes in the past.

 

“…Han Woohyun.”

 

I looked up at him with a blank face.

 

Instead of holding on to Han Woohyun’s hand, I looked at the window floating in front of me.

 

Congratulations!

 

‘Happy Birthday to the Hotel Owner’ quest completion reward has arrived!

 

Dididing—!

 

The text changes, and a new sentence is added.

 

You’ve found what you want to find for your birthday!

 

This damn window right now… Just what are you doing now… 

 

Don’t tell me, you…

 

Did you give me a birthday present?

 

“What’s wrong?Are you sick? Junghyo-ya. Can you hear me?”

 

I looked at Han Woohyun’s face, which seemed more panicked than when I was in pain. 

 

He squatted in front of me and kept calling my name.

 

“Junghyo-ya. Junghyo-ya.”

 

Like a person desperately looking for something lost.

 

No. 

 

Like someone who lost what they wanted to find.  

 

I reached out and grabbed his collar.

 

Somehow, it feels like the status window playing a trick on me, but— 

 

Yeah. I think I found it. 

 

The birthday gift I was most looking for.

 

I pulled his collar.

 

His stone-like body got closer. He didn’t feel any intention of resisting my touch. 

 

It’s funny.

 

That I can bring in an S-Class hunter so easily.

 

But if I think about it a little more…

 

In the end, it was him who dragged me here all the way here.

 

So let’s take responsibility. 

 

Thinking so, I kissed his lips.

 

Kiss.

 

The moment the short sound stopped, the heat started to turn. 

 

Ah… I don’t know. 

 

As soon as I thought that, Han Woohyun also pushed me, as if he had been triggered.

 

When he stared at me as if he was afraid I’d break, he put his palm on top of my hand that was holding his collar, as if he was afraid I’d lose my grip on his collar at any moment, and he took a sip of my lips with one hand while holding my chin with the other.

 

A rough breath escaped between my lips.

 

What should I do if my head goes crazy because of the fever and I never come back to my senses again?

 

The rising heat slowly took away those worries.

 

It was then.

 

When Han Woohyun suddenly turned his head back, he put his hand on my forehead. 

 

Han Woohyun’s hands, which were always hot, were cold. 

 

Is it cool enough to make me feel good? 

 

When I looked up at Han Woohyun with a puzzled look, Han Woohyun said. 

 

“You’re… getting a fever, right? That’s high too.” 

 

So you didn’t come here because you knew I was sick.

 

Then… Why did you come?

 

While I was wondering, Han Woohyun’s brow furrowed.

 

He mumbled with a self-destructive expression.

 

“What did I do to a sick person right now…”

 

“….?”

 

No.

 

It’s not like that. 

 

I think I was the one who did what in the first place. 

 

“I thought it was because my body was hot…”

 

Han Woohyun muttered something as if it were an excuse and then stood me up as if this was not the time. 

 

“Let’s go in.”

 

* * *

 

I only realized this when I saw the seaweed soup, pancakes, kimchi, and most importantly the cake that Han Woohyun brought out of the car.

 

That I should have checked my phone.

 

My phone was filled with Han Woohyun’s cautious KakaoTalk, starting with the words of “Happy Birthday” and asking if I could spare a moment. 

 

Because I turned on my phone with the sole intention of responding to Baby Junghyo fan’s message, I couldn’t even reply to Han Woohyun’s message, let alone see it.

 

So… I even kissed you in Jeongcheon-gun on his birthday and can’t be contacted.

 

I’m going crazy. 

 

I think I understand why Han Woohyun came all the way here.

 

‘I’m afraid of becoming someone else’s, Han Woohyun.’ 

 

After saying that, I didn’t call him… 

 

When I told Han Woohyun I was sick, I immediately put all of the food he had brought me into the refrigerator and made a quick excuse in front of the porridge he had brought me.

 

“I was distracted because a guest came three days ago. Because of that, I completely forgot it was my birthday…” 

 

“Yeah, eat it.” 

 

I couldn’t hold my spoon and looked up at Han Woohyun.

 

“Above all… I suddenly felt sick…”

 

Gulp. I swallowed my saliva.

 

Is it because you know that I forgot?

 

Han Woohyun’s face was very stiff.

 

Even if it were me, I would feel bad.

 

I didn’t answer his call because I was sick, and then I kissed him all of a sudden.

 

Am I a slave to lust?

 

What on earth am I doing?

 

Han Woohyun said after seeing me lower my head.

 

“Isn’t it because your throat hurts?”

 

“No… it’s not like that.. I’m sorry…”

 

“….?”

 

Han Woohyun frowned.

 

“What are you talking about?” 

 

“…I’m afraid that you felt bad because it felt like I ignored your call… I said something strange like that last time…”

 

When I answered in a hushed voice, Han Woohyun said.

 

“Something strange?”

 

“Yeah. I’m afraid of becoming someone else’s.”

 

…I’m canceling that now.

 

Spilled water cannot be picked up, but can spilled words be picked up? 

 

I was careless back then.

 

But even if it is possible, where and how do I pick it up? 

 

Before I do anything else, shouldn’t I talk about the time I went on a blind date?

 

Why did I get that blind date at a class reunion?

 

It was when I was lost in those thoughts.

 

Han Woohyun’s face heated up slightly after hearing what I said.

 

“I liked it. Because you even told me that. It seems like we’ve gotten closer. So…” 

 

Han Woohyun took the spoon he had given me and spoke.

 

“…If you don’t eat it by yourself, I will feed you.” 

 

“I’ll eat it.” 

 

I looked at him with a straight face and took the spoon from Han Woohyun. 

 

I don’t think it’s a good idea to feed me. 

 

Han Woohyun, who was watching me eat a moderately cold porridge, smirked. 

 

My throat stung as I took a spoonful of porridge, and I thought I couldn’t eat it, but I soon emptied a bowl of porridge out of hunger.

 

After the porridge was finished, Han Woohyun gave me some water and said, 

 

“You have medicine, right?” 

 

“…Uhm.” 

 

Han Woohyun went up to the second floor as I told him and came down with a bag of medicine. 

 

Do you think I’m so sick that I can’t even open the medicine bag? He even opened the medicine bag and placed the medicine in my hand. 

 

I eat, take medicine, everything is good… it’s good but…

 

I guess I should explain that kiss just now.

 

Please explain a bit about the blind date.

 

Even though I thought so, I swallowed the medicine with a gulp.

 

Han Woohyun is looking at me like a butler who monitors whether his cat swallows medicine.

 

“Have you used much mana recently? Or that you suffered a great deal of mental exhaustion.” 

 

“Oh… I think I have both.”

 

Han Woohyun sighed at my answer. 

 

“Just because you’re an awakened person doesn’t mean you don’t get sick. Especially in the early stages of awakening, as the body grows abnormally, the mental strength to handle it does not keep up, so a lot of mental problems arise, and what the mind can’t withstand transfers to the body, which can cause physical pain like a cold.” 

 

Ah. I see.

 

That’s interesting. 

 

I decided to take the advice of an experienced person into account.

 

Thank you for the advice from an experienced person. Now let’s move on to the next story…

 

It was the moment I was about to say that. Han Woohyun clattered the plate and went to the sink as if it was natural.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“Washing the dishes.”

 

…So he’s the type to wash the dishes as soon as he eats. 

 

He’s very diligent. 

 

No way, he didn’t make the pancakes, seaweed soup, and kimchi himself, right?

 

It seemed like the side dish container with a sense of life was telling me that my hunch was not wrong. 

 

How absurd.

 

I thought as I looked at Han Woohyun’s broad back, who was concentrating on washing the dishes.

 

An S-Class hunter, a wise mother and good wife’s style who likes housework. 

 

Isn’t this just another word for an all-rounder?

 

The moment I thought that, something else appeared in the place of the guilt that was filling me.

 

‘…I’m curious about Han Woohyun from the time I didn’t know him.’ 

 

Come to think of it, there were times when he had a scandal with a superstar.

 

Was her nickname ‘National Sister’?

 

That was when my thoughts slowly started to flow to strange places.

 

My cell phone rang.

 

When I turned on my phone, Minji’s message came. That’s 14 too.

 

Choi Minji

 

(Happy birthday emoticon)

 

(Happy birthday gifticon)

 

Happy birthday Junghyo! I hope you have a happiest birthday than anyone else… (see more)

 

As always, there was this message at the very end of the sweet and warm messages.

 

Choi Minji

 

It’s an important article.

 

(Link)

 

Han Woohyun is dating Alice’s lead vocalist. It’s crazy~~!! You’ve been close with him these days, right…? (Tears) Can you get Alice Suni’s autograph? I really… (see more)

 

The link was connected to an Internet news bulletin.

 

It was news with such simple content that the title could be said to be the content.

 

To summarize the main point, Han Woohyun drank alcohol with Alice’s lead vocalist at a wine bar in Cheongdam-dong, so they are dating. 

 

“….?”

 

At that time, Han Woohyun made eye contact with me while trying to clean the table with a washed dishcloth.

 

“Your expression…”

 

“My expression”

 

“…No, I must be wrong.”

 

“…”

 

“It’s kind of cute.
