I should've expected this when we started living together. Our lives were about to overlap, and I realized that overlapping meant the boundaries between us would gradually fade until they eventually invaded each other's space. "Okay." Chae Won-u nodded. Unlike me, who was filled with various thoughts, Chae Won-u didn't hesitate or seem troubled. "Do you want to run together, hyung?" "Well... bring your outerwear. It's cold outside." As soon as I finished speaking, Chae Won-u entered his…-

I'm fine since I can run well~? I wanted to beat up my past self for saying such words. How embarrassing. A crazy fool. An impudent child who couldn't see even one step ahead yet boasted about it. Running backwards while facing Chae Won-u, I managed to give him a forced smile as he looked at me with concern. In truth, I felt like vomiting. It was an expression I didn't want to use, but Chae Won-u truly was a monster. "Are you struggling?" Yes, I was struggling. I also felt slightly nauseous.…-

The chief smiled knowingly, aware of my personality. It wasn't hard to guess that he was the one who had given Chae Won-u the pills. "Why did you give him those pills? I already have some." "Won-u said he didn't want you getting hurt. How could I refuse such a request?" "I suffered greatly because of them, though." "Everyone goes through hardships. You just happened to experience fewer issues due to your resourcefulness until now. That's why I like Guide Yang." In any case, all the mad…-

The instructor was undoubtedly talented in devising cooperative combat strategies but seemed to struggle with explaining them clearly. Indeed, without his drawings, we would've only understood about 70% of his tactics at best. As the instructor moved away and blew a whistle, our break ended abruptly, leaving no time to fully grasp his complex explanations. Stretching my neck, I noticed Chae Won-u within my field of vision. "...I think he's jealous." His gaze towards me was blatantly obvious,…-

I squeezed the ketchup bottle too hard due to my firm grip and ended up squirting out way too much. Feeling embarrassed and apologetic, I scooped some back with an unused spoon. This time, Chae Won-u dispensed more ketchup onto my pork cutlet while presenting his own theory: “If you don’t drink it here, you’ll do so somewhere else, right? And that bothers me.” His argument wasn't particularly logical despite being technically correct. “I'll drink alone, okay? Is that fine with you?” To…-

The feeling of piercing and slashing doesn’t linger on the skin, but embeds itself deep in the muscles, nerves, and bones. Sometimes, I jolt awake in the middle of the night, reliving the disgusting, warm sensation of blood splattering on my face. I think I drink because I’m ashamed. Ashamed of the things I’ve done in dungeons, ashamed that I make a living doing them. I keep quiet because I don’t want to seem weak. I don’t want their pity, and God forbid, their suggestions to go see a…-

"Hunter Chae." "Are you going to say something inappropriate again, hyung?" "Yes. Don't cross the line before saying it." "What line exactly?" Chae Won-u asked as if he genuinely didn't understand. "We're holding hands and touching foreheads—how can there be a line?" Shit, he had a point. "If this is only possible inside a dungeon, I want to quickly return to one." Now, he was talking nonsense. I sighed and tickled Chae Won-u's palm with my fingers. Surprised, he hastily withdrew his…-

"Don't worry; we're keeping a special eye on this area. Please contact us immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms." "Of course. But detecting them by their shimmering won't work anymore. We need better detection tools soon." The couple running the establishment, who seemed like friendly neighborhood residents, served us some Yulmucha tea before heading back to their workshop with clasped hands. Their fingers were thick from long hours of labor, and their short, rough nails sparked colorful…-

"It looks like you're in the middle of something." "In the middle of something? What do you mean?" "Huh?" "What do you mean 'in the middle of something?' I'm always working. Come take a look." "Ah, no. It might have adverse effects if I approach or there could be problems due to excessive reactions. It is better not to go near until after the refining process." "Really? Too bad. The process is amazing. I'm making it as a bracelet, and the shape is very pretty. What religion are…-

To be honest, I'm just playing coy now. With my previous partners, I never asked such questions and wasn't interested. Anyway, conversations naturally flowed, so I found out over time. However, with Chae Won-u, it's unclear. It seems our communication isn't quite connecting. "Baekgyeom-ssi." Calling me ‘Baekgyeom-ssi’ suddenly instead of using Guide Yang probably means he wants to talk off-the-record? "You're dating Hunter Chae now?" Ah man. Communication is really breaking down here! In…-
