Volume 17 Chapter 5 (2/2)
Lee Hyun went into a secluded neighborhood opened his own house's door lock by lock There were a whole 7 locks on the front door! A separate password and even a card key were required
As Seo-yoon approached the doorway, Lee Hyun blocked the entrance with his body
”I'll say this in advance, but you can't go intois, okay?”
Lee Hyun was suspicious and even treated her like a thief! That was primarily because outsiders didn't often come into his house Choi Ji-hoon had so Lee Hye-yeon, but she didn't bring him that often after the electronics repairs ended
Lee Hyun was on full guard
Seo-yoon nodded ””
”Coh the door
Woof, woof, woof!
A big dog the size of a calf swiftly ran over, lay on his belly, and barked cutely His adorable bark didn't iven hi we're raising He's an extreerous fellow, so it's safer to stay back”
When Seo-yoon extended a lovely hand, Dog's sense of smell is 10,000 better than a hurance of the short rib patties and the smell of the previously departed Half Sauce Half Fried on Seo-yoon and was going to be friendly with her
Just like when dogs beco ood feeling she gave off and rithing in welco his tail as he enthusiasticallyof welcoht? Just last week you bit someone and hospitalized thehouse Even after being falsely accused of having bit someat was utterly docile
'A chicken is a few thousand Won at the ! Not on your life!'
Dogmeat had extraordinarily pluood They hadn't even sold hi meat dealer came and offered 350 thousand Won (~350), so there ay too ive him to Seo-yoon
””
Seo-yoon approached a wire meshed enclosure with hasty steps Within the wirearound
Seo-yoon quickly wrote on a note with a pencil
<tbody>
Can I touch the this close to a rabbit
</tbody>
”Go ahead Ah yeah, be careful 'cause it hasn't been long since the rabbits gave birth to babies”
<tbody>
Babies? Where?
</tbody>
”They're inside the pen”
Seo-yoon looked at the rabbits in fascination, like a kid eating a haer for the first time
Lee Hyun was OCD about sanitation, so the inside of the enerous heap of grasses for the rabbits to eat, and baby bunnies with bodies about 2 or 3 fingers riggling in a shaded corner Even though they were just babies, they had long ears and their hind legs were round!
”Aahhhh”
As if she were singing, an exclamation flowed from Seo-yoon's lips! It was like a pretty and clear whisper
She clung to the rabbit hutch, peering in with sparkling eyes Unable to touch the babies because they ret
”You can touch them”
””
However, Seo-yoon was unable to readily touch them
”It's okay They're babies who haven't even opened their eyes yet”
That wasn't why Seo-yoon orried, but Lee Hyun put his hand through the mesh and pulled out a baby
”Here”
When he lowered it onto the back of Seo-yoon's hand, the baby bunny kicked weakly as it wriggled Seo-yoon embraced the baby bunny as if it were precious and stroked it But she soon put it back into the rabbit hutch, because the baby bunny ht feel anxious
Even afterwards, Seo-yoon didn't leave the rabbit hutch and squatted there to no end
'Surely she won't ask ly alarmed His little sister hadn't returned froirl I absolutely irl
It was a preposterous situation
Lee Hyun said firo see the chickens!” He did his utmost to make his intention to pull her away fro at the baby bunnies that hadn't even opened their eyes yet She had fallen in love with the adorable sight of theht of nonchalant mommy rabbit with its cheeks stuffed with carrots! However, Seo-yoon left behind her great regret in order to let the rabbits rest comfortably and went to the backyard where the chickens were
Clu-clu-cluck
cock-a-doodle-doo!
The Korean chickens were going up trees and flying around like birds Chicks were toddling about on the ground
As soon as Lee Hyun and the never before seen Seo-yoon came, they rapidly fled into a corner or above the trees It was a sight of wholehearted wariness As they hid in the corners, poked out their heads, and examined the movements of the humans, they didn't intend to coh Half Sauce Half Fried, Seo-yoon was familiar with the habits of the chickens She tore the short rib patty she'd prepared into sround
Clu-clu-clu-clu-cluck!
The chickens leapt out of the trees and froe beasts and pecked down the pieces Even the chicks dove in with their s into the ribs
Seo-yoon patted the chickens and chicks Despite the fact that she was a stranger, they had quickly becah the patties and stuck to her side like burrs
'They're taking a liking towhat to do, Seo-yoon petted the chickens with joyful eyes
Lee Hyun was distressed 'The same short rib patties that was in the lunch I ate'
A life where he had coht of the nearly expressionless Seo-yoon really having fun being with the chickens, he followed suit and felt good
She, a girl who had silently stared without being able to approach, was being touched so deeply while being with the chickens that tears elling in her eyes
Even Lee Hyun was getting choked up for nothing 'This feels even stranger than the first time I fried a chicken for my little sis'
He knew that Seo-yoon wasn't a very bad person However, that was not easy for hiood person she can't be close toin circuhly estih 'Even the brand name clothes that show up on television are over 100 thousand Won (~100) with fabric that good, a brand called Dior, and the design, it must be at least 150 thousand Won!'
There was too big a difference in their household situations A girl like Seo-yoon would like a great guy who Lee Hyun couldn't even couy will show up' It was the sairls
Lee Hyundecision ”Just pick one And if there's one you like you can pick two”
Having been petting the chickens in bliss, Seo-yoon looked back at him with happy eyes Eyes that asked if he really azed far off into the distance as he spoke ”So”
Unusually enough, Lee Hyun was showing great generosity That was because trying to le chicken still made him feel indebted
Seo-yoon chose three chickens
Every time she picked a chicken, Lee Hyun's face beca hen and Boiled Chicken, and even the plureat disposition later!'
A laying hen was of course a valuable creature He intended on catching it when his little sister ht home a husband in the future But the chickens would keep reproducing until then, and there were two other laying hens left, so it was okay Even so, thehen, he felt a sadness and pain that broke off a piece of his heart
Lee Hyun spoke e them for you”
To make it convenient for Seo-yoon to take the and connected the like a chicken sled, it couldn't be any weirder, but Seo-yoon took the string
She wrote on a note
<tbody>
I' to h it was excessive
</tbody>
”It's nothing This much is meh If necessary, one more” Lee Hyun hastily revised his words ”Next time you can take one more chick”
<tbody>
Really?
</tbody>
””
Seo-yoon, anted to take one right ahen he said she could!
As Lee Hyun conversed via notes, he thought it was a little strange 'Why doesn't she speak?' He'd originally thought that she was hiding the fact she could speak on purpose to fool with him, but she wasn't In the MT and the festival, he hadn't heard her speak even once Even as they ate lunch together, she didn't speak To be honest, that they conversed through notes after she left a note in the lunch box could be called a tremendous advancement
'She spoke just one word in Royal Road, but her voice was extre like her actual voice is really dry, right?'
When Lee Hyun was about to leave the backyard to see Seo-yoon off, Dog Seo-yoon also seemeat was cute because she wasn't able tovoice ”D-do you happen to like this dog?”
”?”
”Do you want to take Dog transformeat, who he had cherished and raised for the days of su dog ize and revitalize As a reminder, this is a cultural difference we hope everyone will understand]
<tbody>
Can I really take him to keep?
</tbody>
”You can Because it see else, Seo-yoon looked delighted beyondliked her Surprised and touched, she went as far as to drip tears
Lee Hyun spoke in a low voice ”This rascal eats a lot, so it's good to feed him often He'll overturn a food bowl that's too so play in the backyard on rainy days Don't tie his like mice and weasels He takes about a 2 hour nap, but if you want to play with him just call his naive hile word of his explanation was like sending off his lover
'It feels likeripped out'
Even as he suffered intense agony, Lee Hyun didn't retract his decision
When giving a gift, youproperly was the way to bribe!
'The second and third S-rank difficulty quests honestly, I think it'll be almost impossible forto raise his Sculpting skill However, he couldn't guarantee quest success
'With the alliance with the barbarians, the Power of the Deliverer, and the Sentence of Death, and also a lot of luck, I was able to finish the 1st step of the quest' He couldn't hope to have always such luck in the quest 'The 2nd and 3rd steps will be even harder'
From here onwards, he would be in a desperate and lonely position where he had to go up against the quests with nothing
'If we could do it together'
If Seo-yoon participated in the quest with hi for him
<tbody>
Thank you very n cars had parked in a line in front of Lee Hyun's house at souards had co black suits opened a car's back door The chickens and Dog the luxury of boarding a car worth hundreds of millions of Won that even came with escorts and a chauffeur!
Lee Hyun put a false ss as he saw her off ”See you Coain next ti in the car, hesitated for aon a note
<tbody>
Can I really coain?
</tbody>
””
Lee Hyun realized that this was exactly what it meant to be 'lost for words' Didn't that iven her so ain It's probably just so'
Lee Hyun nodded ”If you have time, come whenever you want”
<tbody>
Thank you See you next tiot into the car and left with her bodyguards Lee Hyun, who had been standing still in front of the door, blew out a sigh after the cars left
He recalled the feeling he'd gotten when heout of high school
”Those who have the ained a valuable lesson ”Meeting wo! When youthis and that He hadn't bought Seo-yoon a meal or coffee, and it wasn't like they went to the aether However, there was the price of the chickens and dog!
”A wo round his teeth Aniain
Seo-yoon's hospital roo war around as they crowed Even the yellow chick went around the roo
””
Seo-yoon sat on a chair and read books
”Food Dogs Like”
”A Dog's Lot is the Life of Co Barks for a Reason”
They were guides for raising a pet dog
Not only did Seo-yoon's hospital room have a private exercise room attached, but it also had 4 rooms, a study, and was even equipped with a homeat and the chickens, it was no different froh it wasn't big, he had lived in a house with a backyard, so he needed the fresh air outside
Seo-yoon prepared to go out 'The book 'A Dog's Lot is the Life of Coularly'
Seo-yoon put a dog leash around Dogue and licked her hand He was pro his faithfulness to the oho had draed his fate as a summer meal!
The nurses looked at Seo-yoon as if it was hard to believe
”It seehter than before”
”Indeed It feels like her complexion has really blossomed, huh? She was truly beautiful before, but now she could even irl fall for her”
The nurses hadn't known that Seo-yoon, who had been closing the doors to her heart despite their countless efforts, would suddenly become better like this
Cha Eun-hee also had to acknowledge Lee Hyun's qualities on that point ”He's a truly kind man”
The teammates she hunted with in Royal Road didn't spare praises of him
”His warht?”
She had also heard a lot about Lee Hyun fro Il-hun How many men were there in the world ould be so dedicated to their farossed in Royal Road couldn't be seen as only a fault
”Seo-yoon forced herself to go to school, but now she's enjoying it She's reallychickens and a puppy was a very positive sign Cha Eun-hee guessed that if she was pouring out love while raising pets, the day her heart would completely open up wasn't far Now Seo-yoon had risen to the level of readily expressing herself with notes There just needed to be a decisive opportunity that would spring open the gates of speech
”Is it finally time to report to the chairman?”
Cha Eun-hee had to contact Seo-yoon's father He was always receiving reports about his daughter through her bodyguards If he heard news that Seo-yoon's heart would soon be healed and that she would even be able to speak, he would definitely be happy
