chapter 152
152 – Still, the Young Lady Is a Precious Person
‘To…’ ‘ … Eek?’
Hotaru was embarrassed because Hyunjin suddenly hugged her.
When she managed to calm her heart, the heart she believed would be strengthened by Hyunjin’s unexpected favor she was defeated like a dog.
“Don’t get me wrong, in this situation, you can just think of her as sharing her body heat her.”
Hyunjin spoke to Hotaru with absolutely absurd logic.
If it had been anyone else, I would have immediately released my body from her to embrace her and pushed Hyunjin away from her.
Hotaru’s feelings of love and admiration for Hyunjin were at work at the same time, so even if Hyunjin really hugged her without much meaning, she couldn’t help but feel that it was the truth.
‘Does this mean that you love me?’
Hotaru’s mind her was just confused due to the situation and atmosphere that could be said to be an illusion.
“I guess it’s warm.”
As if Hyunjin didn’t know what he was thinking, he muttered something that would confuse Hotaru even more.
“… Kim, are you always like this?”
“Me? Umm…I don’t know what you’re talking about. At least I am being warm to the people around me.”
Hotaru thought to Hyunjin’s answer her, ‘He’s a sly person.’
In fact, Hyunjin’s response was a situation that could easily be misunderstood by anyone who heard it.
“Please do not respond overly kindly.”
Hotaru almost gave in to desire, but she once again remembered the mindset of the Myeonggyeongjisu and shook off the delusion throughout the winter.
“Was I kind… ” … ?”
“Yes. Kim, I think what you are doing to me is being overly kind.”
It was like that in reality.
Because Hyunjin was casually saying things that he couldn’t say if he didn’t like him.
From Hotaru’s perspective, it seemed like her head would get dizzy if she continued to listen to such excessive favors, so she was able to hold back and push Hyunjin away.
If I were in this situation with other girls, they would probably all get carried away and film a steamy bed scene with Hyunjin, but Hotaru was different.
It was Hotaru’s restraint and patience as a martial artist that prevented his actions.
“I’m sorry.”
Hyunjin immediately apologized to Hotaru.
“No. But the idea was good.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
After Hotaru nodded, she muttered to herself so that Hyunjin could not hear.
‘Also… He was a person who could not let down his guard.’
What if she actually said that to target her own purity?
Hotaru was wary of Hyunjin while thinking like that, but she didn’t feel anything like that.
If she wanted to, she could have forced him to lie down and threaten her, but Hyunjin was just concentrating on drying his clothes and warming himself in her campfire.
‘That’s ridiculous, really.’
He is truly a different person from the men before him.
Hotaru thought about that while looking at Hyunjin.
It is said that you can tell a person’s state of mind by looking at their eyes
Most men who looked at Hotaru felt awe or fear, but there were also times when they looked at her with promiscuous eyes.
However, it was the first time, other than his family or the head of the kendo club, that he looked at him with pure eyes.
“Kim, you are an upright person.”
“Huh?”
“It means it’s still the same.”
“I often hear things like that.”
Hyunjin and Hotaru praised each other a few times, and only when the rain stopped did their clothes dry.
…
…
After putting her dry clothes back on, Hyunjin looked at the time.
‘… It’s late.’
Hyunjin was already worried because the rain only stopped a few hours after he said he would give it to him.
‘Amelia… I must have been a little angry.’
She said to Hotaru who was next to her, bracing herself to say something.
“It’s late, so I’ll just go.”
“I’m sorry for holding you back for so long.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about.”
When Hyunjin turned his back, Hotaru spoke.
“I… “
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Can we meet again?”
Hotaru spoke as if pleading the next time.
Hyunjin had never received an after-sales service like this before, so he started to panic for a moment.
‘What… ‘I have to answer, right?’
After listening to Hotaru’s words, I was frozen like a stone for a few seconds, and then Hotaru said with a downcast expression.
“Was it really a rude question?”
“Oh, no. Let’s meet, okay? Because we can meet at any time. Okay… Let’s see.”
Hyunjin searched her pockets her her her.
She took out the ballpoint pen and slightly wet paper she always carried.
Then she wrote down her number and handed it to Hotaru.
“Now, this is my phone number. “You can contact me anytime.”
Hotaru said as she carefully took the paper handed to her by Hyunjin.
“… Yes.”
“Oh my, it’s really late. I have to go. See you next time!”
Hyunjin said goodbye to Hotaru and ran out of the cave.
Hotaru muttered as she looked at the paper Hyunjin handed her and the place he went to several times.
“Strong people, after all, are not disliked. But more than this shady place… As expected, I’m looking forward to meeting in a better place.”
Next time, it would be better to convey my feelings to him in a better place.
I thought that such a drab place would be unfeminine, and above all, it would be difficult to maintain hygiene or a place to wash, as it was far away.
Hotaru quietly warmed up her love like a girl.

“Why are you so late?!”
When Hyunjin returned to the campsite, Amelia was spending time with her eyes open.
As soon as Hyunjin came back, he got angry.
“I’m sorry, miss.”
“… “Tell me what happened.”
“That is… “
“I will not tolerate getting away with lies.”
Amelia answered in a calm tone.
‘Ha.’
While she was looking after Hotaru, it was raining heavily near her residence, so she was late to avoid the rain.
‘It’s okay to say up to that point, but… ‘
What if it suddenly rained heavily and I had to take my clothes off because my clothes were wet?
It was as obvious as seeing fire.
Amelia will be very angry.
Hyunjin thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“First… “
“For now?”
“It rained so much.”
Amelia said, nodding her head.
“Continue.”
“After that, she hurried into her residence and was on her way to avoid the rain.”
“Hmm… “
Amelia looked at Hyunjin carefully with strange eyes.
I need to see what you’re hiding.
With that kind of look.
“Nothing major happened.”
“Lie.”
“What are you supposed to do in a place like that?” … “
“I can see what I’m desperately trying to hide, but I’m a little disappointed.”
Amelia pouted her mouth and made a pouty expression.
“Well, nothing really happened.”
“I’m starting to feel really sad, but yeah. I desperately said no… “I will trust you.”
Amelia said, nodding her head appropriately.
If Hyunjin had revealed it as it was, he would probably have seen Amelia raise her voice so loud that people sleeping around she would wake up.
“Sorry. “I just said I would go there for no reason.”
“No. “If I stop you there, what will become of me?”
“I see… “I do.”
“Speaking of which, let’s go for a walk together.”
“Is it okay if you don’t sleep?”
Amelia said with a grin in response to Hyunjin’s question.
“I’m used to sleeping late. So, could you please escort me? “Mr. Knight.”
“If you wish.”
When Amelia held out her hand, Hyunjin held Amelia’s hand and headed toward the forest path.
…
…
The rain had stopped and the humidity was just right, so there was nothing unpleasant or anything like that.
Hyunjin thought while walking with Amelia.
‘If you think about it… In the original, you didn’t really know what Amelia did in the evening.’
Since I became possessed in this world, I didn’t realize that fall had already come.
This is definitely something to reflect on.
Hyunjin thought so and opened his mouth first.
“Lady.”
“Yes?”
“May I ask how you stay up so late?”
Amelia willingly answered Hyunjin’s question.
“It’s not something I really care about. Just… “It’s like reviewing the documents of what your mother or father does, or something like that.”
“Indeed.”
Several times, Hyunjin was worried about Amelia working overtime, so he went out for tea late at night, and there were a lot of her documents there too.
From Hyunjin’s point of view, it’s usually difficult to chat except at times like now, so I took this opportunity to ask.
“Thank you for your concern.”
“I wasn’t worried, but… “
“In times like that, it’s right to say I was worried!”
Amelia slightly tilted her head and looked upset.
“Ahaha… “
“Is this funny?”
“If you look at it like this, you will feel relieved that she seems like an ordinary girl.”
“Then I’m not a girl or something!”
“A rich lady?”
“… “If you listen to it, it’s true.”
At Hyunjin’s words, Amelia muttered in a slightly sad tone.
“That doesn’t mean…” ” … Well, no matter if you have a lot of money or a high status or whatever. “For me, you are a precious person.”
“Eh?”
Amelia looked surprised at Hyunjin’s words.
