The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 163
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 163
“That…”
He hesitated and raised his head.
Standing there was a blonde foreigner whose face was covered with large sunglasses.
He seemed to be looking through the gaping hole in his bag.
“is not it? “Is it an animal?”
As Heena bent down to check inside the bag, she quickly took the bag in her arms.
Hundreds of millions in the bag! I thought I heard a voice… but that was probably an illusion.
“I’m a little embarrassed to look into my bag.”
My voice came out a little sharp in embarrassment. Then the man raised both palms.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” “I’m very curious.”
Heena’s heart softened at his gentle apology.
At the same time, embarrassment also reared its head.
“no. I was the one who was rude. I should have started by thanking you for helping me…”
I was helping someone who was about to fall, but I just happened to look inside my bag and got angry. Isn’t this a pretty shameless situation?
“I can’t say that looking into someone else’s bag is very polite. “It’s okay because we both made the same mistakes, okay?”
He summed up the situation in a refreshing manner.
Then he asked quietly.
“I’m curious, why are you carrying your pet in your bag?”
“It’s a doll?”
When I answered shamelessly as I had planned, the man tilted his head.
“I thought I saw something moving. Is it an illusion? “It’s a little bigger than your fist… and furry like a hamster.”
I don’t know what I saw so much in less than a second. Heena pulled away.
“It’s my favorite doll.”
“Then there is nothing we can do. “I’m Fabian, by the way.”
He gently lifted his large sunglasses. Green eyes sparkled like emeralds.
As you could guess just by looking at him, he was a very handsome man.
“Uh… I’m Hee Hee-su.”
Heena was about to say her own name, but then hesitated and gave another name.
It was clear that the name ‘Lee Hee-na’ was registered as a member of the Blue Dragon Guild.
In this situation, hiding my identity seemed like a better choice.
‘Because I think I noticed something was in the bag.’
It was a quickness brought about by a surprised mind.
Fortunately, the man didn’t seem to notice the awkwardness.
“Hee-su… That’s right. “Is Hee-su a tourist?”
“yes. “I just arrived in the United States.”
“Anyway, are you not interested in news of the world?”
“I just see it as much as other people see it… why on earth are you asking this?”
“That’s because you’re not at all surprised when you see my face!”
He lifted his sunglasses again and made eye contact with Heena.
The green eyes looked at Heena in a way that felt somewhat persistent.
‘What is this suspicious look?’
For some reason, Heena felt like she couldn’t lose, so she decided not to lose and participated in the snowball fight.
How many seconds passed like that?
“haha!”
Fabian put his sunglasses back on and laughed.
Feeling a little tested, Heena looked at him warily.
But Fabian continued speaking cheerfully.
“I still have a long way to go.”
“You mean it was far?”
“Hee-soo doesn’t know me.”
What kind of dog-eating noise is this?
Heena tried her best not to look rude.
Anyway, Fabian finished what he had to say.
“I showed you my eyes twice, but you had no idea who I was. “It’s shocking.”
Heena was completely ignorant of foreign news and foreign celebrities.
“Are you famous there?”
When I asked in surprise, Fabian chuckled.
“What is it? Thanks to this, I felt fresh and had fun for the first time in a long time.”
I was wondering if I should ask for an autograph out of courtesy, but the man waved his hand.
“Then next time, let’s meet as a superstar so great that even you can recognize him.”
He gave a neat greeting, then turned around and disappeared like fog into the crowd of people.
“Uh…uhh.”
Heena waved her hand vaguely behind his back and then glanced at the bag she was holding in her arms.
Kang Jin-hyeon was quietly sitting cross-legged in a corner of the bag.
“Are you okay, Jinhyeon?”
When I whispered with my head halfway inside the bag, Kang Jin-hyeon, dressed as a teddy bear, answered solemnly.
“it’s okay.”
However, the expression on his face was somewhat uncertain, which gave off a strange atmosphere.
“I don’t think I’m feeling well.”
“It’s a mistake, Heena.”
“But why is your expression like that? “At first glance, it doesn’t look like he’s in a very good mood.”
In response to Heena’s questioning, Kang Jin-hyeon washed his face dry.
“Ha…”
In the meantime, looking at the fluffy fur clothes he was wearing, he seemed even more distraught and even let out a deep sigh.
It looked quite pitiful, so Hee-na apologized to Jin-hyeon Kang and quickly returned to the dorm.
This is because it seemed like it would be a rather personal and secret story to share outside.
“I arrived at the accommodation. Talk to me, Mr. Jinhyeon. “The face speaks volumes.”
Kang Jin-hyeon jumped out of Heena’s rattan tote bag.
Before I knew it, I had taken off my cute teddy bear clothes.
“It’s not that big of a deal. “I just felt uncomfortable having to hide in my bag without being able to show my body in the same situation as before.”
Heena drooped her eyebrows at his words.
In the excitement of coming to a foreign country, a feeling of regret that I had forgotten for a while came to mind again.
‘How frustrating would it be to live as if I were dead and not be able to appear in front of people for weeks? Besides, this happened because I was cursed instead of me…’
While Hee-na was depressed with guilt, Kang Jin-hyeon was thinking a little differently.
I didn’t realize it when I was physically attached to Heena all day, but now that we’ve been together like this, there are so many dangerous people in the world.
For example, a handsome man who caught Heena’s attention, a handsome man who solicited Heena, or a particularly suspiciously handsome man who tried to trick Heena up when she was about to fall.
Knowing the identity of the suspicious man ‘Fabian’ he saw last, he had no choice but to be even more wary.
Such an unruly man approaches Heena…
‘I have to get my body back somehow. ‘One o’clock is urgent.’
What the guild leader said came to mind again.
It was like that. Cuteness alone wasn’t enough.
Kang Jin-hyeon wanted to be seen as the opposite sex to Hee-na and wanted to be the most attractive partner.
‘I want to be someone so perfect that other people don’t notice.’
It was a desire that was as shameful as it was blatant.
‘Heena is a good person, and the number of people she needs to take care of is increasing.’
There were always lots of people around Heena.
There was a warmth that drew people in, as if they were sitting together in front of a bonfire.
Kang Jin-hyeon wanted to monopolize Hee-na’s kindness.
But paradoxically, at the same time, Kang Jin-hyeon liked that side of Hee-na and wanted to protect it.
‘A timid and cautious person, but a gentle person who likes people.’
It was easy to get into Heena’s boundaries.
But is that really the case?
In return, becoming someone special to Heena felt like a very difficult task.
“Jinhyeon, what are you thinking?”
Heena asked, resting her chin on the table.
Kang Jin-hyeon shook his head.
“I thought I wanted to break the curse quickly.”
“Jinhyeon, it’s very uncomfortable to be here like this, right? Because he was cursed instead of me…”
“No. “I absolutely do not regret receiving the curse on Heena’s behalf.”
Kang Jin-hyeon truly did not regret what happened.
If Heena had been cursed instead of him, the guild would not have been so active in pursuing the project.
‘Of course, it would be very cute to see a smaller Heena, but…’
However, it was enough that it was Kang Jin-hyeon himself, not Hee-na, who was going through this embarrassing situation.
Kang Jin-hyeon cleared his complicated mind and looked at Hee-na.
This is because I did not want to feel regretful or bad thoughts while making eye contact with Heena.
“I feel like it’s been quite a while since I sat down and talked to Heena properly. “I want to slowly return to my normal self.”

Woo Min-ah came back with a very triumphant expression, wondering what kind of discussion she had with the Falcon Guild officials.
“I’m really embarrassed because I’m so capable.”
She giggled and downed a can of beer in no time.
“You should have seen the looks on their faces! Ah, I have to remember this and show it to the guild leader. “It went well just as the guild leader said.”
The guild leader had given some instructions, and it seemed like he had carried them out very well.
Perhaps the result would have been in favor of the Blue Dragon Guild.
“They say tomorrow is the dungeon reset day. “Me and Kang Jin-hyeon, the three hunters and Hwa Won-ho, will enter the dungeon as soon as it opens.”
“Falcon Guild officials aren’t going in?”
“of course. Our situation is still top secret. “They only know that they came because there was a problem on our side, but they probably don’t know anything about Kang Jin-hyeon’s curse.”
“A one-sided deal like that is possible?”
“This is Team Leader Woo Min-ah’s ability!”
Woo Min-ah beat her chest and spoke proudly.
“But the three of us… no, excluding Jinhyeon, we’re entering the dungeon together. “Are you okay?”
Heena was worried, but Woo Minah just smiled.
“are you okay. “This is only a B-class dungeon.”
“But depending on the type of dungeon, you need more people and you have to plan a strategy, right?”
“Oh, you’ve become an expert after only half a year of employment at the Blue Dragon Guild?”
“Oh my sister. Don’t keep teasing me. “I’m really worried.”
Kang Jin-hyeon, unable to see Hee-na fidgeting like a puppy that has lost its owner, came forward.
“Please give me a dungeon briefing.”
“Tsk. Okay, I was going to let you know right away. “Can you please stop looking at me like that?”
“How did I see it?”
“’To make Heena uneasy, this person has the personality of the scum of the earth.’ “The look in your eyes.”
“I’ve never done that.”
