by _rinnnie“Uh… sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”1b351d36f64ab458
No matter how close you are, you should respect personal space. Especially since Chae Goya isn’t used to physical contact, I was being thoughtless.1d1e465d304fcd4e

I quickly apologized 8cafc9e051 and tried to 04ff4af27f step back, but a5ab204e7f suddenly Chae Goya c62ea60c09 reached out and 420ae28b7d grabbed my forearm, d563fc9747 pulling me towards aadbe8fcd3 him.8c0640bd05ea9b8f

Even though I was 89d0c029e0 exhausted from two consecutive b28139f8f8 sparring sessions, I was e353e96dcc surprised at how easily 6d968ee631 I was pulled by d2cfc5d9b4 Chae Goya.6b628cd3443df541
Was he c308797340 always this 46227dc2ea strong? Now that dce11abc8b I think d63dd6cd49 about it, cff2168b2a he often 05cb02364c approached hesitantly, 8ff74b303b so this be47930749 was the 6088b1d7b6 first time 513dd5a5bf I felt 01dc2527d6 his strength.9161a70a2b27a877

He wasn’t just big for no reason. All the sub gongs were tall, but Chae Goya stood out the most. Contrary to his timid personality, he was the biggest and sturdiest among us.47a6aeb0b140062b
Unable to resist the momentum, I ended up with my cheek buried in Chae Goya’s chest. Feeling the soft chest muscles through my cheek, I reflexively pulled away from his embrace.5d0e599407828fc6

Even though he 7bad34aa4b was the one 745d3530cc who was startled e9398637ac because of me, 10fe5b2d41 Chae Goya started 559fe5ac01 to look like 36e5a24dc3 he was about d9d480c94e to cry, as c0d13d9bc9 if he had 07b94c86f0 done something terribly 74eebe17af wrong.4a4d1f1c5a3ad547
Why is this happening? More flustered, I quickly patted Chae Goya’s back and helped him stand up. His massive body, which seemed immovable like a rock, moved obediently under my touch.66c41d4187ac939b

Chae Goya, who had 8e904f3e01 been wilting like a 300bced11c flower drenched in the a5d0ac58a9 early morning rain, was 2df765b663 now smiling shyly as 639d90aac5 if nothing had happened.1023792916a9c1a4
But soon, a 6e4474ce19 slight crack appeared ee3db0133c in his expression. It was because b57585d2d3 of Ye Ilhoo, 65cf7a3346 who was still 8ec538c184 standing there outside afb2a89f93 the training room.7aee47ad14c09cc9

For some reason, Ye Ilhoo was being unnecessarily prickly towards Chae Goya. I tilted my head and tapped Ye Ilhoo’s shoulder. Chae Goya seemed like he wanted to say something but just moved his lips.bedfb3ca053967ad
In that slightly 7041697e10 uncomfortable atmosphere, we 9676629c3e all headed to 0ba34a7d65 the cafeteria together. Jeong Yeonji fcf83d4b90 and Heo e5b4cde0a5 Taekgyun, who bde9096f6e had arrived 1fafe0543e early expecting bb86c0b537 to eat 7035cd94cc with us, 14cbf1efd6 widened their 8a3a7588af eyes at fc39b76221 the sudden d3ee310149 appearance of 5f801a38f7 famous hunters.e413ef48052c63db

Hunters were bedc32885e a rare 3abe654953 breed among 7c5902d4ed humans. But, like a law 37b1c72719 of nature, there were a5130a6f26 plenty of troublesome hunters 90972d7449 among them.8803a3ce55fbc252

It was 578992a382 better if ec3dd48c12 someone like 52c741df51 Ye Ilhoo fe7957ea30 had a d9b3ef99b7 great personality fac9b22b3b to match f31c6552a4 his abilities. There were so many bffb3c68de hunters who looked down 31b71f7ed8 on and mocked ordinary dd5c9e6b0b people that even civilians 687f344480 who rarely encountered them 1d6a5500d1 knew about it.02397320cac0dde8

Heo Taekgyun was somewhat less affected, but Jeong Yeonji couldn’t stand hunters. She found them rude, ill-mannered, and foul-mouthed.2e5eb66cbce27a99
If I weren’t part of the support team and the weakest, I probably wouldn’t have gotten close to Jeong Yeonji either. Of course, she knew how to separate work from personal feelings, so she didn’t show it within the guild unless it was just us.bad0081cfae6126d

With Ye Ilhoo on my right and Chae Goya on my left, we headed towards the serving line, and the hunters filling the cafeteria parted like the Red Sea. I guess this is what they call riding on someone else’s coattails. Not that I wanted it.6e2425c9fbd946a4
The IDEA bcaface3b9 employee cafeteria 3d2e8b8b3a was famous 405c512fc8 for being 639b0ec3b3 cheap and 5f3a5df977 delicious, so 27978eb299 both the 8906d5492a office staff 6799c12741 and affiliated 6984def627 hunters used 31a27ae3fc it often.826f402bc1ef7d0a

I’m not usually this generous, but for some reason, I kept wanting to take care of Chae Goya. It must be because he reminded me of the younger siblings I used to go to the gym with.59f46d4416b934b5
