The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 172
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 172
“Come here. Fall.”
Heena sat on the balcony chair and patted the seat next to her.
Kang Jin-hyeon hesitated and approached Hee-na. And I put my butt at a distance.
Only then did Heena become convinced.
‘Jinhyeon, you were really avoiding me, weren’t you?’
I couldn’t make eye contact and my butt was shaking. That’s what a dog looks like after sneaking a snack…
In short, it looks like it wants to run away.
‘Are you avoiding me like this?’
Seeing the other person’s reaction like this made me feel angry.
The words that I would have thought a lot about before came out of nowhere without me even realizing it.
“Mr. Jinhyeon. When the curse is lifted, your memories will come back intact, right? “The strange excuse I gave to Minah was just made up.”
The large body that had been half-turned around flinched at the sharp voice.
It was truly the reaction of someone who had hit the nail on the head.
Heena didn’t waste time and poured out questions.
“Why did you say that then? No, even if I just made it up out of embarrassment… Why did you keep avoiding me? Did you hate it that much? I couldn’t help it either…”
‘I couldn’t help it either. It was a moment when I was trying to argue, ‘Shouldn’t I have been given time to explain?’
Kang Jin-hyeon turned his head.
“no! “I didn’t like it!”
Heena stuttered slightly at the unexpected and powerful S-level response.
“What what?”
“Mouth… I mean kiss! “I didn’t like it.”
Before I had time to mentally prepare, a new bomb exploded.
Heena muttered without realizing it.
“Ah… you didn’t like it…”
“Yes. “I didn’t like it.”
“Uh… yes.”
“….”
There was a strange silence between the two men and women.
Both Hee-na and Kang Jin-hyeon needed time to regain their spirits after leaving home.
How much time has passed?
The first to open his mouth was Kang Jin-hyeon.
“I’m sorry for bothering you.”
He apologized with a particularly downcast expression.
“I couldn’t look at Heena right away.”
“…why?”
“It seemed like Heena didn’t really like what happened with me… When I thought about it like that, my heart ached and I couldn’t stand it.”
‘I can’t believe my heart hurt.’
It was meaningful. It felt like a hot stone had landed in my solar plexus. I felt sick.
“…Why did you think I would hate it?”
“Didn’t you just leave and drink and come back? “I hated it so much that I wanted to forget the memories with alcohol…”
This time, it was Heena’s turn to yell.
“no! “I didn’t like it!”
“Then why?”
Kang Jin-hyeon clenched his fists as if he was very nervous.
The armrest of the chair, held by a large hand, was bent like a stick of taffy.
However, neither Heena nor Kang Jinhyeon were in a state to notice such trivial things.
Heena stuttered and started making excuses that were not excuses.
“No, I was doing something like that when Jinhyeon suddenly woke up. “I was shocked…”
“So you ran away?”
“that’s right.”
“Have you been drinking?”
“I was also embarrassed… Where else could I have gone that night? There’s only a lounge bar… I wasn’t sure what to do, so I just had a drink. It’s not because I don’t like it.”
The longer Heena’s excuses went on, the harder Kang Jin-hyeon’s face gradually brightened.
By the end, I couldn’t hide my joy.
“Then can we do it again?”
Heena raised her head in confusion at the question that had been asked so many times.
“…yes?”
“Can I kiss you again?”
His questioning face was already close to my nose.
Suddenly, the night wind blew.
His jet black hair was disheveled on his forehead.
Dark eyebrows nestled beneath a white forehead, and obsidian-like eyes.
And the image of Heena filled with shining eyes…
It wouldn’t be strange if I was just sucked in.
“Mr. Heena.”
His lips came very close. A trembling breath came out.
The moment our lips were about to overlap…
“Wait a minute!”
A palm was placed between the lips. It was Heena’s hand.
Kang Jin-hyeon, who unexpectedly kissed the back of Heena’s hand, frowned slightly.
“…why?”
“Why why?!”
Heena put her head behind the pack and placed both hands on her waist.
“Jinhyun, you give kisses just because it feels good? Not me! Last time, I had no choice because Jinhyeon cursed me! this time! “You’re just doing that even though we’re not in a relationship at all?”
As I spoke, the corners of my eyes naturally rose up.
‘Other people are possessed in this way too, huh? Just rubbing your lips? huh? ‘Did you do that?’
I was proud of myself for coming to my senses at the last moment.
Heena rushed forward quite courageously.
“So what are we? “I don’t do things like this unless it’s a special relationship!”
It’s not that Heena didn’t like kissing Kang Jin-hyeon.
No, to be honest, it was good.
Even though I had been ignoring him, there were many times when I felt my heart flutter when I saw him.
It wasn’t just because he was handsome.
Kang Jin-hyeon was an attractive person.
Heena liked the seriousness of his kindness and the relaxed look he sometimes showed.
No matter how dull Heena was when it came to romantic feelings, it was strange that she didn’t notice at this point.
Didn’t they even kiss and confess that they didn’t hate each other?
‘You even just got caught up in the atmosphere and almost kissed one more time!’
It was like that.
It was clear to anyone that the two of them were having a relationship, and now that they had come this far, they could no longer pretend not to know.
‘I can’t help it even if it becomes awkward with Jinhyeon because of this. ‘It’s even weirder that we’re still in a relationship where we just kissed in the blink of an eye.’
Heena was dull, but she wasn’t timid enough to ignore this situation.
“anyway. Be sure! So Jinhyeon, do you like me or not?”
Then Kang Jin-hyeon, who was dazed, suddenly answered.
“Of course it’s good!”
But Heena was sharp. I had no intention of letting go of anything easily.
“Not humanly! How about rationally! So, this means do you want to be a lover?”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s face turned red at the hooked fastball.
It was clearly visible even under dim lighting.
“Uh…”
Kang Jin-hyeon seemed speechless and swallowed dry saliva several times.
Heena quietly waited for his answer.
Is it because I shook out all the words I had inside me? I wasn’t nervous or anxious.
‘If you say no, there’s nothing you can do. It might be embarrassing to have to keep working together, but…’
This was much better than remaining ambiguous and secretly avoiding each other.
After a while of silence, Kang Jin-hyeon repeatedly washed his red face.
“Of course, rationally, I like it. If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have even thought about kissing Heena. I like.”
Finally, he poured out his heart with a sigh.
“…I want to be lovers. “If only Heena allows it.”
The answer naturally flowed from my lips.
“I like Jinhyeon too.”
If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t have been this bothered.
“ah.”
There was indescribable joy in Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes.
His chest swelled as if swallowing great happiness.
And he asked in a suppressed voice.
“Then Heena.”
“Yes, Jinhyeon.”
“…Can I kiss you now?”
Heena laughed at that question.
How could you resist two sparkling eyes like this?
“great.”
As soon as I answered, a warm feeling touched my lips.
It was a very careful kiss that seemed impatient.
A large hand grabbed my cheek and stroked it.
Heena gently closed her eyes at the gentle touch and soft kiss.
It was a lovely night.
* * *
On the night of their first official kiss(?), Heena and Jinhyeon Kang talked a lot.
Every time our eyes met, my ears got hot and my cheekbones turned red, but I didn’t hate that feeling.
Kang Jin-hyeon was mesmerized several times, saying, ‘This moment feels like a dream.’ Sometimes I stuttered.
It seemed funny that someone who was better than anyone else would show such a disorganized appearance just because they became lovers.
But even that seemed very lovely to Heena.
If Heena had been a little more proactive, she would have grabbed both of his cheeks and given him lots of kisses.
It was a very unfortunate thing for Kang Jin-hyeon.
The two had a long conversation and returned to their respective rooms at dawn.
I decided in advance to keep this fact a secret from the people around me.
Just adjusting to the changed relationship was overwhelming. I didn’t want to surprise people by revealing it to people.
If someone had known, it was clear that they would have said, ‘It’s a completely useless consideration since we already know everything,’ but unfortunately, Heena, the person in charge of this relationship, did not know that fact.
* * *
No matter what changes happened between the two, time passed quickly.
Heena and her group prepared to return home.
The appraisal conference was over. Since the main purpose of coming to America had been resolved, there was no need to stay here any longer.
However, due to an unexpected event, the group ended up staying in the United States for an additional period of time.
“Falcon too… he’s the type of person who picks up dropped pieces of food with all his might.”
Woo Min-ah giggled and sat down next to Heena.
Heena’s chin trembled.
“Sister, can you tell I’m shaking right now?”
“very.”
“What if I chew my tongue during an interview?”
“It’s not a live broadcast, it will be edited.”
“Uh… why am I doing this? “I’m just a housekeeper.”
He lowered his eyebrows and made a crying noise. Then Kang Jin-hyeon came over and comforted Hee-na.
“Cheer up.”
The hand on my shoulder felt particularly warm.
For your information, I don’t know how Woo Min-ah explained Kang Jin-hyeon, who suddenly appeared as a member of the group, but the Falcon Guild naturally accepted his presence.
“Heena, if you’re nervous, there’s a way to destroy the interview room. “When the place disappears, the schedule also disappears.”
He gave a quite groundbreaking proposal to Heena, who was very nervous about camera anxiety.
“It can collapse without a trace. “Don’t worry.”
It wasn’t a joke. Motivation blazed in his eyes.
