The night deepens.
Rain pouring down like a downpour.
Sumire’s eyes were wide open like a surprised rabbit hearing about Shin Yusung’s past for the first time.
“Huh… … .”
Sumire’s mouth, which was about to say something, stopped. Sumire explains why Shin Hayoon is finally reaching out to her. The look in Shin Yu-seong’s eyes as he looked at Shin Hayun. And on a rainy day.
I was able to understand all the facial expressions that Shin Yu-seong had in mind.
Phew.
Sumire hid behind a pillow with her body curled up and looked at Shin Yusung.
To Sumire, Shin Yusung was a trustworthy party leader and a strong person she could always rely on. The reason I thought that way was because of Shin Yu-seong’s unwavering will.
Shin Yu-sung believed that he was different from himself, who was swayed by even the slightest wind, and so Sumire always admired him.
‘but… … .’
Shin Yusung didn’t say anything, but Sumire could tell. Shin Yu-seong was a person who did not cry when he was sad, did not show it when he was lonely, and had no choice but to become strong.
The half a year he spent locked in his room out of fear of ‘that incident’, and the time Shin Yoo-seong worked hard for 12 years despite being abandoned.
The only difference is that, unlike myself who was locked in a room, I endured it head on.
‘… … I feel strange.’
Sumire felt a tingling pain deep in her heart.
“But it’s okay. “I had a teacher.”
However, unaware of Sumire’s feelings, Shin Yusung smiled without any problem with a calm expression.
“Because I have you now.”
Like calluses formed from a wound, Sumire thought that maybe Shinyuseong’s heart had been worn down by the sadness and difficult training he experienced at the age of five.
Now, even though it hurts, I don’t even know it hurts. Because unlike himself, Shin Yu-seong is strong. I’m sure it will.
But Sumire knew.
[I’m fine!]
Just because you say you’re okay doesn’t mean you’re really okay. Wounds fester unless treated. Even if you become strong enough to avoid minor wounds, the wounds accumulate and pile up.
The tip of my nose is ringing like I’ve eaten wasabi.
“also… … . Yoosung, you are strong.”
Sumire opened her mouth.
“still… … .”
Sumire gathered her courage and made eye contact with Shin Yusung.
“… … very. “I think you must have been lonely.”
And then he spoke with a face that I couldn’t tell whether he was crying or laughing. To be abandoned by the family who should have trusted you more than anyone else. If it were me, I would never have been able to endure it.
So, all I can do is this kind of appreciation. Because she had never experienced it, Sumire could not know the sadness of her god, Yusung. She was just guessing.
“… … okay?”
Shin Yuseong also did not deny Sumire’s sympathy. Although she had faded over time, there was definitely sadness in the emotions she felt.
“Maybe so.”
Shin Yu-seong responded with his usual faint smile. Sumire smiled with a brighter face than before.
When Shin Yu-seong smiles, I feel better for no reason. The more you look like you’re worried, the more you think about it.
Even though Sumire thought she was stupid, she didn’t feel bad.
‘I am, … … ‘You really like Yoosung.’
The lights go out.
A quiet moment where the only sound is the sound of rain on the window. Sumire lay down next to Shin Yusung. I was glad that Shin Yoosung was sleeping in her own bed.
Because it’s like a married couple.
‘ah… … .’
My face gets hot again.
Once Sumire realized that Shinyuseong was next to her, she couldn’t fall asleep easily.
Sigh-
Sumire turned her head towards Shinyuseong under the pretense of talking in her sleep. Even with the lights off, the moonlight shined through the window. I saw Shin Yu-seong’s face.
White skin.
A sharp nose.
Thump thump-thump thump-
Sumire’s heart was pounding wildly and could hardly calm down.
A closer distance than usual.
Inside the blanket where you can feel the body temperature.
Sumire is just looking at the sleeping Shinyuseong, but Sumire feels like she is doing something bad. The sight of her sleeping god Yusung was just as defenseless.
‘Mr. Yoosung… … .’
Sumire felt good about the warmth of Shinyuseong beyond the blanket.
‘if… … . If I could become Yoosung’s family… … .’
Sumire was confident that she would always be on Shin Yu-seong’s side. If he is not one of the Sinnoh Gate people. She wishes she could be her family.
Sumire snuggled into Shin Yusung’s arms. She pressed herself against Shin Yoosung’s body and listened to her breathing.
“… … Mr. Yoosung.”
Sumire muttered in a low voice that you couldn’t hear if you weren’t concentrating.
“i like you… … . very… … . “I like it very much.”
Sumire is not a fellow party member or colleague. She wanted to be the object of Shin Yu-seong’s affection. However, it is a dream that is too much for her now.
“I. … … therefore. So that I can become someone worthy of Yoosung… … . continue… … “I will try my best.”
Sumire whispers softly and gently hugs Shin Yusung’s sleeping body. Perhaps that’s why Pyeonlin responds to its owner’s strong desire. Purple mana was gently emanating from the back of her hand.
[The assimilation rate has increased.]
[Current assimilation rate 67%]
My heart towards Shin Yu-seong.

And it is desire that makes Sumire strong.

Only a select few of Korea’s most powerful figures could be invited to the dinner held at Shinsung Group’s headquarters.
It is an event where high-ranking people gather together to secretly socialize rather than a banquet where a large number of people gather. Seokhan Kim said with a smile.
“This is truly embarrassing! “I can’t believe I’m hosting precious people in such a shabby place!”
A joke that can only be made because Kim Seok-han is the chairman of Shinsung Group. Even though he had gathered many prominent people, from guild leaders of large guilds to famous hunters and political figures, there was no one who surpassed Kim Seok-han’s power.
“ha ha ha! It’s a shabby but funny joke! President!”
“you’re right. It’s a rumor from home. I’ve heard it before, but really… … “I have never seen a palace like this in my life!”
People laughing at Kim Seok-han’s pleasure. Kim Eun-ah became disillusioned with the sight of such people.
‘… … what. ‘It’s not even a day or two that he fawns over himself to impress us.’
But that wasn’t what mattered now. From the moment she saw her list, Eunah Kim had only one goal.
[The family did not want a successor with F-level characteristics.]
Kim Eun-ah did not forget the story she heard from Shin Yu-seong at the cafe. What Kim Eun-ah wants now is the sweet taste of revenge.
“Is it Shin Kang-yoon? “Where is that man?”
“Sinnoh family? He was so big that I memorized his face. wait a minute. Let’s see… … . Oh, there it is! I think you’re talking to your father? The leader of the Night Tides guild is also there.”
Kim Eun-ah turned her head to Kim Jun-hyuk’s words. Then, what she saw was her father, Kim Seong-han, and two men.
“Oh, really?”
Kim Eun-ah approaches her father, Kim Seong-han, with a devil-like expression. Seonghan Kim and Kangyoon Shin. And in the waves of the night, guild leader Therian was sitting at the table talking.
Kim Eun-ah overheard the conversation, looking at the table with the eyes of a hawk looking for prey.
“If you just leave this subjugation to our night waves… … . “We can match your unit price!”
Therian, the guild leader of the Night Waves, was a man with dazzling blonde hair. And next to him was Shin Yoo-seong’s father, Shin Kang-yoon. He was a man with distinct facial features even though he was middle-aged and over 40 years old. Kim Eun-ah’s first impression of Shin Kang-yoon was like a sharp, well-honed knife.
“what. You don’t look like Yoosung at all. “It looks like a snake.”
Of course, since he did something mean to Shin Yu-seong, all he gets is harsh criticism. Shin Kang-yoon noticed Kim Eun-ah’s gaze, but did his best to ignore it.
This subway subjugation contract is so big that the head of the Shinnoh family himself came here. There was no time to look elsewhere.
“Vice President Kim Seong-han.”
Shin Kang-yoon called Kim Seong-han.
Seonghan Kim touches the shape of his glasses and turns his gaze. Shin Kang-yoon looked down at Therian as if looking down on him and said.
“We cannot lower the unit cost of subjugation. Led by poor quality hunters. “This is different from a business that competes based on price.”
“Now, what a business!”
“We have proven our track record by successfully defeating hundreds of people. That’s why I don’t beg for money like they do.”
“you! what are you saying!”
“I guess you think you’re on the same level as me because you’re the guild leader. “You’d better not raise your voice.”
Shin Kang-yoon looked at Terrian with cold eyes. The eyes of one of the few 7th-level hunters in the world had the power to overwhelm even Therian, the leader of a large guild.
“Okay, that’s it! Anyway, the choice is up to the vice president… … .”
Therian has already lost the lead. No matter how much he lowered the cost of subjugation, Seonghan Kim did not want to entrust the job to Therian.
‘As expected, this incident… … .’
The moment when the votes were tilted towards the Sinnoh family. Someone intervened.
“dad. “Let’s do it here.”
Kim Eun-ah, who suddenly intervened, chose the Night Waves guild. Therian’s face was dumbfounded. Her father, Kim Seong-han, was also surprised and asked Kim Eun-ah.
“Uh, Eun-ya?”
Kim Eun-ah, who was reluctant to become a successor, suddenly showed interest in business. Kim Eun-ah pointed to her Terrian and said to Kim Seong-han, who was surprised.
“I think the guild mark here is pretty. It’s shaped like a wave. “It also reminds me of the sea.”
Shin Kang-yoon frowned at Kim Eun-ah’s absurd reason.
“What… … .”
The head of the Sinnoh family. Shin Kang-yoon.
A self-proclaimed cutie from Shinsung Group. Eunah Kim. The two people glared at each other.
The fight started.
