SMFC | Chapter 13

Although the phrase “torn apart” was used, Yoo Haeon thought that “swallowed up” might actually be more appropriate since there was nothing left at all, and he faintly let out a sigh.0cdc869e0f667988

Lee Soo, seemingly pleased with how his body moved at his command, snorted long and looked at Haeon with his eyes turned gray from necromancy, and asked, “Cool, isn’t it?”807827334a3e27fc

“…Yes, it’s cool.”85570c0ad8569d01

As Haeon readily responded, Lee Soo, with his cloudy gray eyes gleaming, couldn’t contain his excitement and bounced on his feet.0b072ceb5d268d3d

“I trained really hard. Just to protect Healer-nim Haeon.”1c0bf9319babc3ad

As if urging him abb22c2a6f to compliment more. Lee Soo, with his d38c7405f0 chin slightly raised, grinned db1417bc3c mischievously and swayed gently.77187943bebc3b97

No matter what story 9cca31d647 this person I like 6226af1943 has, Haeon thought, acknowledging cb96101525 that he really is 9f35c42eb8 the perfect hunter who d1798a6204 has to raid dungeons 23cbadac14 as quickly as possible.c01236aae8367f97

With pink eyes fluttering gently, Lee Soo, who had been staring, lightly grabbed and then let go of Haeon’s clothes, suggesting they should move toward the raid team, as staying separated from others here could introduce unknown variables.4d92bde68dc0169d

In situations with just 3ef8e8f65d a healer, it’s one 67b24f263b thing, but when a 00261599d6 healer is with a 91b45e1e18 hunter, all decision-making powers 0e5e131798 unequivocally go to the 0dfd5cc39c hunter.63eebe28de18bce8

Some hunters, edd1f1d83f probably harboring 64a4eddeb4 grievances from e278688876 their usual 6f7230901c experiences, exploited 1e7a5b1327 this in be42ad7545 dungeons, commandeering 697ed34579 him under 09cfbf6cb9 the guise 9b95d38506 of protection. Thus, the usually 718a3a29b4 sharp Haeon was 158a9099ad surprisingly docile today, 18c7b67f94 quite astonished by f499d9bf79 his own uncharacteristic b3ff04382d calmness.983fd411dc54a970

Following Lee Soo, 09c42cedd6 after handing over c3ea6b8992 his sleeve, Haeon 0bc97d92fd suddenly thought that 4295640375 Lee Soo might 552ee01776 actually be a a749bf96c3 decent person.ab04f2d52f0793a0

Despite being a5d524819e the kind ee85daed5c who’d heard 9b900e780a somewhere that 2b03382eb4 Haeon liked 1f75031089 sweets and 3a718ad439 handed over cf0811b4b5 snacks right b95f7fee94 after a 210e302972 few days 2d398b2608 of playing 74e27b55fa tag, and 0eb217b1cd the strange 2b8b809c46 one who 0a66990827 liked the 76c3502cd0 fact that 10f0882f8f his life, a8023bf580 set to aa6a2becfb end in 0bd70ca51d five years, fbf9c78f96 could only 614740e7fa be extended ab8ec16b47 by a 72563a31cb mere six b69913d8f2 months.e962ee78bc3d38fd

Haeon thought to push as hard as he could to somehow extend Lee Soo’s life, as he was one of the few kind people to him, using a method that placed a burden on both the recipient’s and the healer’s body, if necessary. He wanted to gift Lee Soo a full six months and, if possible, even more time.324d9704cb3bb5e8

Haeon inwardly vowed 9f43e2c012 to perform a 2cfc5d02e5 tremendously kind act, 87e40f5e14 so much so 3ae2ae9800 that one might 975dee283d suspect him of 08d40e6b0d being foolish.b43008c84cdd1da7

Unaware of ec0f4489ba Haeon’s promise, 12cff5644d Lee Soo 5abb78e98b swayed his 4c2e7a3d1c sleeve as f2c822556b he walked, f594dd4567 and following b002c312f6 smoothly, Haeon 2ed43f71ac moved his e419c6018d ungrasped hand cb448601e3 to the c41fc2453a front pocket 303e472e60 of his eca23b27dc bag and 345b54c6e2 opened a 44307784ee packet of 473c634601 jelly sweets.238694732f597db2

Although a famous healer, 4d878d96e4 Haeon knew the story 90f4ef0acd of one person who a7c1d7ae2e had used all his 00c86cc649 life force to save 600e0de39f his savior, someone unredeemed 01e9d7ed48 by anyone else.6fe0e22247ab6995

It was too filthy 4e9a8600e5 for licking. Picking and 36e6b1f5ad eating cautiously 95ba1b210a was one 13903bf070 thing, but ada718e320 licking his 426fb2faaf fingers to eba9431cf3 eat the 0ef9f4c10e melted chocolate 58ef39cd2c gave him b6cb8657cf a slight 5078d082ae sense of 9faabb0096 disgust.ff8ba69429a053c2

Seeming naturally, 8c71963bad Lee Soo, 5f5edaeefe standing beside a8e27105a5 Haeon with 1ecde02f3f a spinning 3f344bd605 smile, turned d7c0f3f0f6 his head 516685013e not toward 3fb9b9925f Haeon but ba57798efb rolled his 4f89a4cdd1 still gray 92e6a1b0f3 eyes, indicating da1d429810 that Young 82f45964cb had inhabited e311c05b37 his body.7a65f004aa7b5cf5
