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.8030019c754ca3ce

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?”86d52c234eff597c

“…Yes, it’s cool.”dd68a748a3544915

As Haeon readily responded, Lee Soo, with his cloudy gray eyes gleaming, couldn’t contain his excitement and bounced on his feet.40699ae9eb9a5b50

“I trained really hard. Just to protect Healer-nim Haeon.”ca5cc681b45b538f

As if cb80ce4a5d urging him a7685858b5 to compliment 29bb13924e more. Lee Soo, be5d2d1975 with his 8659215e8d chin slightly 47eadca890 raised, grinned 7c3fa58b4f mischievously and 012cd8872d swayed gently.b45254992698dd09

No matter what story 1dd2a7ec30 this person I like 99b3e396ed has, Haeon thought, acknowledging 2ab09f9fa7 that he really is cd70cc510f the perfect hunter who 0143690750 has to raid dungeons 1f9e2256ef as quickly as possible.027f623f2f1f3c59

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.5bc5cbf12e80e3e6

In situations with just d3f0b873a1 a healer, it’s one f12981ced4 thing, but when a 18d499b0c9 healer is with a 9b82c1f5f9 hunter, all decision-making powers db953a84bc unequivocally go to the 744f94274c hunter.780de2b250fe5181

Some hunters, probably harboring 213ab2774f grievances from their usual dfcfc00d80 experiences, exploited this in 670e85dc1b dungeons, commandeering him under b88176f07b the guise of protection. Thus, the usually bb2b3ae1c8 sharp Haeon was d2f17f0daf surprisingly docile today, 8a38f764e1 quite astonished by c0a91d632e his own uncharacteristic d0192ff66d calmness.af131f6c7ca5c54b

Following Lee Soo, c541fa406b after handing over 60540a7dec his sleeve, Haeon 0c996c9b28 suddenly thought that 1c93b7e4f7 Lee Soo might b976943350 actually be a 1e344c306f decent person.ee361bf641e0fc1a

Despite being the kind 22ecc7608b who’d heard somewhere that f435200141 Haeon liked sweets and 903d896e73 handed over snacks right c877c46e7d after a few days 34d5f4718b of playing tag, and 1650f60cd8 the strange one who 372fe4f660 liked the fact that 0539e28ab9 his life, set to c0df597104 end in five years, 539fecb8d7 could only be extended 9eaaaeeaaf by a mere six 03cd17948b months.89c737b7e6974320

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.02a7b653d2b09589

Haeon inwardly vowed 58782e8382 to perform a 154c0a9153 tremendously kind act, c826c4dc5f so much so 2a7b5d8126 that one might a8cc684ba3 suspect him of 81045d867f being foolish.099515ed1a7f81d8

Unaware of 1a89aa082c Haeon’s promise, 8cca2e57c8 Lee Soo ccb8fb74ce swayed his e0fa2d2cf0 sleeve as ab44f0adfd he walked, c3415edc84 and following f97758e946 smoothly, Haeon 72ae273578 moved his 7bcc737fa7 ungrasped hand d74d829d70 to the f82f6b7f21 front pocket 4869847a0d of his be46e70c89 bag and 7767dc0b89 opened a ffc2c3d308 packet of 94c99004e8 jelly sweets.a9ddb32b7b037ca4

Although a famous healer, 8be4863794 Haeon knew the story 348dc52696 of one person who 49f66fc532 had used all his ce52979b3f life force to save ed62e42c67 his savior, someone unredeemed 482f32ebb5 by anyone else.96b63c24271563f1

Both the giver c29b16b1e0 and Haeon knew a82651caa1 it was akin 68858bd8a6 to buying feed 1fb0c73e4f from a convenience 7bae6e3284 store for a b3cffb810c hungry stray cat 3cc3bb8391 nearby.0de3c8645d3a3835

After rummaging for 5b87c89b16 snacks, Haeon picked d4b2fe6bbb up a chocolate, 2bd36617e0 which melted instantly 35b37ca847 upon touching his c84fe7bbf8 fingers, and then 4227d8c66a he glanced at 8550cdf966 his fingers.8e274c0acb2e928c

It was too 78dd55bafd filthy for licking. Picking and eating cautiously 976444f7c7 was one thing, but 6eafa61839 licking his fingers to ce8c2a52a2 eat the melted chocolate 04ef570585 gave him a slight 43bf8eb4bb sense of disgust.50205366ec3a9f64

Deciding not to 40bf5669a5 continue this train 6bb0400972 of thought, Haeon 8fa59d6b96 suddenly realized both 51bb590fc6 he and Lee f671769a94 Soo had stopped 2ab2e89625 and looked for 646b468978 Lee Soo.76a69bfc5272460d

Seeming naturally, Lee Soo, 99b883b2c3 standing beside Haeon with c2367db496 a spinning smile, turned 90ef022882 his head not toward 72c1e1b460 Haeon but rolled his aaa28ac960 still gray eyes, indicating c2a5946820 that Young had inhabited 53bde8406f his body.dfdd5ecc1d6942e0

To Haeon, gray bf73951faf or golden eyes 1bbe3247f9 were equally alien, ced7c358a5 but gold suited 9c8ef511e7 Lee Soo better. With such unnecessary thoughts, 5dd7f05eed Haeon twitched his eyebrows.62e528d199fe949c

Haeon chuckled dryly at e474490f3d the smooth talk and 3dafd8387e looked down at his 500521e567 chocolate-stained fingertips.bd4337098ed1f1c2

It was such a meager amount that it wouldn’t have been too bad to just lick it off, but somehow, the thought of licking was unappealing.48b25441112f6557

Knowing this 2f78ef719f was his 96d8b5f002 issue, Haeon, 6138646220 slightly annoyed, b9463d20fe forced his 475ad0a0cb attention away 7be3a82be7 from his 47e73335c4 hand.

Seeing something ae1bd8fa50 seemingly bothering 720bfc668a Haeon, Lee b684858edd Soo looked 955d99327f at him 94c3752d2f with curious 11fa19da57 eyes.743fecb394055a40

Since Lee Soo 1075a8de3a kept him close 85b36c77e9 like a beloved f1be852e85 stuffed toy, no af6f76050d hunter bothered him, 76d6bb7471 no monster injured 52d2c6998b him, and no 0ae1abd0ed fool rashly challenged 4743268692 a healer at cc84155faf the risk of dd26067111 their life.

Unable to articulate his discomfort, Lee Soo searched cautiously for the source of Haeon’s discomfort as a housecat’s keeper might, scanning unobtrusively.0963f52616d2a6d6

After much b92a824a61 searching and 282d987463 seeing no 4d94ea09fe apparent issue, 3774550544 Lee Soo d30868b05e wondered if cc2ca6f68e he was 639dc5cba4 the problem 2b24b37113 and his 9e1b40cd22 lips turned 6f4fcc787b down slightly.6f98936996f42c38

As his 811bf3ffc7 gaze wavered, 9879e8b9f2 Lee Soo 0f105f28c8 noticed the 28e36d20e3 chocolate on 61ddd86da2 Haeon’s fingers.56b0c07014722687

When someone 8df71650d2 gently wiped e58a3eb275 his hand e42958a0a3 without touching a87ce9d8f7 it, Haeon c170726f15 turned and 14e9ca2b9a was surprised.2ba1bbb8f9fb4f24

Lee Soo had 9b2da22be2 crouched down on 82eb64986f the floor and 635f975caf was carefully wiping 46b20340f8 Haeon’s fingers with d3e639a670 a tissue, trying c3b3aba7a0 not to startle ee4e7f826b him.867fd0237c60a010

Haeon looked as if 85f19b1e1a asking what he was e3658807e8 doing, and Lee Soo 5e7dcb7ffb just smiled slightly and af8843cfeb stood up after finishing.5c4df0545c348b7f
