Chapter 126 - Will of Strengthening (1) (1/2)

Cheongdam-dong was a place with high-end department stores as well as buildings with the names of prominent Korean designers and foreign brands lined up.

In the old days, he had only pa.s.sed by on a bus and looked at it vaguely.

Of course, today he took the Sentus, a foreign car instead of the bus.

And just like a scene from a drama or movie, Hayun tried out various clothes and showed them to Kang-jun.

”What about this checkered black?”

”Let's see? It isn’t much.”

Kang-jun shook his head and she came out wearing a pink dress.

”Is this a bit too much?”

His heart thumped wildly. Kang-jun shook his head and said.

”No. It is just right. Let’s end it here.”

Hayun’s eyes narrowed.

“It is really okay?”

“Really. You look like a completely different person.”

His words weren't wrong. It had a simple but sophisticated style.

A rare item that could only be fully shown with a very small number of bodies, including Hayun’s. She smiled inwardly and said.

“Then I will go with this.”

“Okay. Let’s go to another one.”

“Yes.”

Kang-jun directly bought Hayun the clothes without worrying about the price. Kang-jun also bought some clothes on the spot.

Kang-jun was a famous exorcist so his face was well-known. However, there wouldn’t be any problems if he wore sungla.s.ses and a hat.

However, Hayun’s beauty attracted attention from everywhere.

After parking at the theatre, they went into the building arm in arm.

The latest fantasy movie that was released.

While watching the movie, Hayun lay her head on Kang-jun’s shoulder with an expectant expression.

Kang-jun shyly avoided Hayun’s gaze.

Once he looked back, he was reminded of something.

It was nice to pretend. Kang-jun was well aware of what Hayun wanted.

He also felt a similar urge.

It was natural for there to be romance in reality.

But was it okay if the person was Hayun?

Hayun was his household member and an existence that depended on him.

But it felt natural because she was a friend before Kang-jun became her lord.

Was this what it felt like to have a girlfriend?

He never expressed it before, but perhaps their feelings for each other were more than simple goodwill.

Now it would be awkward if they didn’t progress any further.

Although she wasn’t a person, Kang-jun was able to share love with her.

But what if Hayun knew that the water spirit queen had become his lover?

He couldn’t hide his relations.h.i.+p with Aquana from her. It was a dream but it was also a reality to Kang-jun.

Kang-jun kept thinking about this and the movie finished without him watching any of it at all.

He immediately grabbed Hayun’s hand. Then they exited.

In the meantime, it was getting darker as night approached.

They entered a bar located at the corner that had a luxurious atmosphere.

After having a couple of c.o.c.ktails, Kang-jun opened his mouth only to have Hayun stop him with a finger to his mouth.

“Don’t say anything. Now it is my turn to talk.”

Hayun smiled.

I don’t care who you meet in your dreams. But in reality, only think about me. Can you do that?”

“Yes.”

She had already guessed. He wondered how she had such a strange intuition but decided not to ask.

After a while, Kang-jun exited the bar and hugged Hayun and flew off.

He didn’t use the skill Dark Transparency, but a magic called Group Transparency.

Hayun also turned into a transparent state.

Thanks to Scolaris’ skill books, he could do a type of prank like this.

It was even possible to lie down on clouds like they were in beds.

Kang-jun and Hayun who climbed up to the clouds in the blink of an eye, only came down again when it was dawn.

There were joyful smiles on Kang-jun and Hayun’s faces.

The next day, Kang-jun went to a PC room with Hayun and played games. He played a game called Expensive Watch and tried an old MMORPG that he used to play before.

The next day, he read manhwa and watched cartoons. In the middle, he got the idea to eat jajangmyun.

He wasn’t really alone and even an ordinary game seemed interesting if he played it with Hayun.

Yet even in such situations, Kang-jun never stopped meditating on transcendence.

It felt like his body and head were separate existences as the body continued to live in reality while the head was filled with thoughts.

In other words, Kang-jun discovered a method of meditating even when doing something else.

The state of transcendence!

It seemed like he would reach it if he solved this problem.

However, he couldn’t completely grasp it.

He was able to concentrate when doing covert things with Hayun. However, if he played games or read manhwa then his eyes and hands moved mechanically while his thoughts were immersed in meditation.

If he was far from the state of transcendence then he might have been less obsessed with it.

But he couldn’t help feeling impatient since recently he felt it getting closer and closer.

Kang-jun knew that this state might lead him beyond the confines of the heart.

He could fall to h.e.l.l in an instant.

It was fortunate that he had Hayun at this time.
