Webtoon Side Story: Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Branch 4 (47)

 

“Did we… give off a newlywed vibe?”

 

I don’t even think we’ve held hands properly because we were so busy.

 

It was when I looked back at Han Woohyun in disbelief.

 

My eyes met with Han Woohyun, who was sitting at the newly built concierge desk.

 

“If your eyes keep meeting him during a drinking session, that is proof he is interested in you….”

 

Just then, I heard Gray muttering beside me. 

 

“…W-what are you doing?”

 

When I asked, Gray raised his head from where it had been buried in a book titled <When the Opposite Sex Is Interested in Me> and said

 

“I’m trying to study hard about humans. I bought it because they said it’s a bestseller read by humans.”

 

Above Gray’s head as he said that, an imposing number floated up.

 

95

 

At this rate, he’ll hit 100 in no time.

 

He’s even shown a sudden increase in interest in humans lately, so it feels like he’ll fill it even faster.

 

To think he’d go out of his way to read a book like that.

 

“It says here that when someone of the opposite sex is interested in you, your eyes will constantly meet. Because the other person’s gaze is fixed on you.”

 

Gray looked back and forth between Han Woohyun and me with a serious face.

 

“So it really is like that.”

 

“What do you mean, ‘it really is like that’.”

 

Manager Kang Miyeon, who was organizing the reservation list next to us, chimed in after hearing my conversation with Gray.

 

“Hunter Han Woohyun stares at you like he’s completely mesmerized, Boss. Every day.”

 

“…There’s no way.”

 

I said that and turned my head to look at Han Woohyun again.

 

And once again, our eyes met.

 

Is that book…… subtly prophetic?

 

Thinking that, I looked at Han Woohyun. I saw him smiling softly.

 

‘Why are you smiling?’ 

 

Why is he smiling like that?

 

As he smiled and turned his head, I watched the female guests blushing at the sight of him.

 

They were even whispering among themselves over Han Woohyun’s smile.

 

“Ha.”

 

Without realizing it, I squeezed the cup I was holding in my hand tightly, and—

 

Crack!

 

“Oh, the cup burst.”

 

The cup ended up cracking.

 

I looked down at the cup that had broken into several pieces in my hand and rolled onto the floor, and quickly apologized.

 

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

 

It was when I was about to go get a broom.

 

Out of nowhere, a large hand snatched and enveloped my hand.

 

“Are you hurt?”

 

It was Han Woohyun.

 

He was standing on the broken cup pieces, thoroughly inspecting my hand.

 

“….”

 

Only then did I look around at the people nearby.

 

Everyone was looking this way.

 

“Oh my…”

 

To think I was only just now hearing the exclamations flowing from the crowd.

 

‘So this is why that post…’

 

“How did you end up breaking the cup?”

 

“I-I couldn’t control my strength.”

 

This cup.

 

It’s an item crafted by Master Lim Sehwan, but its durability is rather weak.

 

I swallowed those words back down.

 

At that moment, Hunter Kang Miyeon leaned her head toward Han Woohyun and said from the side.

 

“She’s keeping the competition in check.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Since her boyfriend is so popular, she’s suppressing the others with a show of force first.”

 

I felt my face flush at the manager’s words.

 

“It’s not like that. I was just…”

 

I was hurriedly trying to make an excuse when I suddenly looked up. Then I saw that Han Woohyun, still holding my hand, had turned bright red all the way to his ears.

 

“You don’t need to keep anyone in check.”

 

Han Woohyun said that and bit his lip.

 

“…I’m already yours.” 

 

With him being like this, it’s impossible not to know.

 

Looking at Han Woohyun’s eyes, who, unlike before, couldn’t even look at me straight, I knew.

 

‘This person likes me.’

 

It was like an all too obvious truth.

 

It was when I felt the strange sense of stability that gave me.

 

Gray spoke from the side.

 

“When something happens to me, he is the first to come running. But when actually conversing, he gets all awkward and stiff.”

 

“…?”

 

It was when both Han Woohyun and I looked at Gray.

 

Gray pointed at the book he was holding and said.

 

“I didn’t know what the expression ‘getting awkward and stiff’ meant, but looking at it now, I think I understand.”

 

“You…!”

 

It was the moment I was about to snatch the book away from Gray.

 

Lim Sehwan appeared in front of the front desk with a resolute face. He was wearing white gloves on both hands and holding a handheld vacuum cleaner.

 

“What are you doing….”

 

“It’s dangerous if even a small piece of glass remains. Please step aside, Manager.”

 

He made Manager Kang Miyeon step to the side, then began vacuuming up the glass shards.

 

‘Where did this guy come from…’

 

I’m pretty sure he went up to fix the broken showerhead in Room 203…

 

It was when I was making a puzzled expression.

 

Gray spoke again.

 

“He suddenly pops up in front of me out of nowhere.”

 

“…Gray, I’ll buy that. How about 10 euros?”

 

The manager pointed at Gray’s book with a bright red face.

 

At that, our Gray, who had lived innocently making only wine for a thousand years, said firmly.

 

“20.”

 

Spoken like a spirit tainted by capitalism.

 

“You… when you sell a book secondhand, the price goes down.”

 

Of course, the S-rank marketer never backed down either. 

 

As the two of them began to bicker, Han Woohyun and Lim Sehwan were trying their best to pick up every last tiny shard of glass from the floor.

 

Just then, a man caught my eye, in an ambiguous posture—half-lying, half-sitting—on the lobby sofa.

 

‘That’s a face I haven’t seen before.’

 

The Liber Hotel has a total of 25 guest rooms.

 

Even fully booked, the number of guests was at a level where I could easily memorize all their faces.

 

Although I’m usually bad at remembering faces, the moment I entered the hotel, guests’ faces strangely stuck well in my memory.

 

However, the face of that person right now was utterly unfamiliar even to me.

 

I thought to myself as I walked toward the man, who was tightly clutching a bottle of wine in his hand.

 

‘…A homeless person who wandered in without permission?’

 

The reason I initially thought so was because his appearance was incredibly grimy.

 

Judging someone by their attire is a bad habit, but his clothes were beyond the level of simply being dirty.

 

They were frayed in places, and it was a vintage style of clothing that was hard to find in modern clothing stores.

 

Feeling the glances of the people around us, I naturally approached him.

 

“Hello, guest.”

 

Startled by my words, the man hesitated before waving his hand at me.

 

“A-Ah, hello.”

 

I was certain.

 

This person smells of alcohol.

 

Upon realizing that fact, the first thing that came to mind was the ‘Front Desk’ skill.

 

But if I used that—

 

‘The guests will inevitably be very startled.’

 

And come to think of it, this person’s only crime was drunkenly wandering into the wrong place.

 

In fact, isn’t this a hotel for wanderers?

 

I tilted my head, looking at his outfit which was far too thin for the weather.

 

I didn’t know what his story was, but he definitely seemed to be a wanderer.

 

He smiled, revealing yellowed snaggleteeth.

 

“It seems I’ve come to a strange place because I’m drunk. Right?” 

 

“It seems so.”

 

I sat across from him and called for Ilmiho. Ilmiho scrunched up his face as he got closer to me.

 

“Ugh, what is this? The smell…”

 

Shh.

 

I brought a finger to my lips and told Ilmiho to bring water and a blanket.

 

“Guest. It would be good to have some water to help you sober up. Since it’s cold outside, I had them bring warm water.” 

 

Right. Let’s help him warm up his body and sober up a bit before he leaves.

 

It was when I was thinking that.

 

“Alcohol… Right. I must be too drunk. I can see a tail on that man standing at the desk. A mouse tail.”

 

The man pointed at Gray at the desk. Gray was so immersed in haggling that his tail had popped out.

 

‘…!’

 

Flustered, I snatched the water from Ilmiho, who was walking toward me carrying the blanket and water.

 

In the process, a few drops of water splashed onto Ilmiho. At that, Ilmiho, who always maintained an elegant posture, had the fur all over his body bristle up.

 

At the same time, ears popped out on top of his head.

 

“Watch it, lady?”

 

The moment he spoke fiercely, the drunk man blinked and pointed at Ilmiho.

 

“Here… fox ears. Be careful. They said the fox living in this ghost castle bewitches people.”

 

The man grabbed and pulled my arm as if he were worried.

 

Because of that, physical contact occurred between us.

 

And that was when it happened.

 

Skill: ‘Hotelier’s Eyes’ is activated.

 

A window popped up in front of my eyes.

 

It was the automatic activation of the skill.

 

??? (Regular Guest)

—Because the customer is currently in a deceased state, accurate customer information cannot be verified.

 

What?

 

Deceased?

 

Then this person right in front of me is…

 

It was a moment when goosebumps broke out all over my body.

 

The man holding my arm smiled a silly smile and said.

 

“This wine is really strange…”

 

And the next moment, the man’s body vanished.

 

Leaving only the wine he was holding behind.
