HAAAH.
Bambi thought he was going to die.
It had been a while since his body ’lted,’ after all.
That was the easy part.
And the hardest one?
It was the mont when his body would start regenerating.
Bambi couldn’t count how many tis he had fainted from the pain, but he knew it lasted for hours.
He wouldn’t be surprised if a day had already passed by.
"Are you properly awake now?"
Of course, the first person who would greet Bambi while he was in that state was none other than Ryu Sungbin. From the looks of it, the Esper had been taking care of him since they returned to the base.
The base would be the dormant dungeon that they could move around.
Because I, the ’landlord,’ gave Ryu Sungbin and the others permission to use my house.
Yes, that dungeon was his house.
It’s not only Gayoon Hyung who owns a mansion inside a dungeon.
"You’re thinking about soone else again," Ryu Sungbin asked, and then he sat on the chair next to the bed. "At least answer first."
"You can see that I’m already awake," Bambi said, slightly lifting the blanket that covered his body. As expected, he was naked. But, thankfully, all his limbs regrew properly. "How about the witch?"
The ’witch’ would be the so-called ’Mother’ of the First Generation of Hunters.
"Mother is still bedridden," Ryu Sungbin explained while scoffing. "That thing is already old. So, she doesn’t recover as fast as you do."
"You seem to be in a bad mood," Bambi said, lifting his head to et Ryu Sungbin’s eyes. "Is it because of what that thing did to Matthew’s body after the soul that kept it alive had finally left?"
Ryu Sungbin didn’t say anything, but his face darkened.
Ah, bull’s eye.
Bambi didn’t say anything else because he didn’t want Ryu Sungbin to snap right there and then.
He couldn’t guide the Esper when he had just recovered his body.
Well, it’s more like a vessel than a body— but that’s not important.
Bambi had sothing else to worry about.
I need the other half of Moon Noa’s heart to maintain this human body.
There was another reason why he needed the other half of Moon Noa’s heart.
Now that Gayoon Hyung is hopelessly in love with Noh Yuno, it’s ti to take Noh Yuno’s place.
***
YUNO knew that he had a bad habit of yapping when he shouldn’t be opening his mouth in the first place.
Thankfully, this ti, his mouth cooperated with him.
And it was probably because Moon Noa looked so freaking scary at the mont.
I’m grateful that Sajangnim saved from Father, but now it’s awkward here.
After Moon Noa blew up the door of the previous room where he was locked up, his "siblings" ushered Yuno and his boss to another room.
It was bigger than the last one since it was for two people.
Moon Noa occupied the bed near the very small window (that showed nothing but darkness). The sajangnim had been lying down on his back while staring at the ceiling.
Yuno, on the other hand, was silently munching on a beef jerky while sitting on his bed.
I can’t trust the food they’re bringing here.
"Noh Yihun."
Yuno flinched when he heard Moon Noa call him by his old na. "Sajangnim, I understand that you don’t seem to have your mories that happened after we t at the Lab. So, please allow to introduce myself."
He went on a kneeling position.
Aside from the fact that Moon Noa was a lot older than him, the current Moon Noa was a little sensitive of age hierarchy.
He used to be a boor like that.
"I’ve already discarded my old na," Yuno said politely. "I’m Noh Yuno now, and I’ll appreciate it if you call by my new na."
Moon Noa turned to him with an indifferent look on his face. "Alright, Yuno-ya."
"Thank you, Sajangnim."
"Why are you calling like that?"
"Ah. I’m working part-ti at the convenience store that you own, sir."
"I have a convenience store now?"
Moon Noa’s confusion was valid.
Sajangnim only built the convenience store for .
"Are you secretly my long-lost son or sothing?"
"Excuse ?"
Moon Noa chuckled— but that soft laugh was shallow. "I don’t know why. But when I look at you, I feel like I want to make you inherit everything I have."
Aigoo.
"I already have Gayoon Hyung’s wealth, so please save your wealth for your future child or soone worthy to be your successor, sir."
"There’s a lot to unpack from that statent. By ’Gayoon Hyung,’ do you an Ki Gayoon?"
"Yes, sir. He’s my boyfriend."
"I see," Moon Noa said, nodding. "Now I understand why you’re not interested in my wealth. But you said ’boyfriend’ and not ’husband.’ So, how sure are you that you have any part in Ki Gayoon’s wealth?"
"He gives everything I want."
Again, Moon Noa chuckled.
This ti, his soft laugh sounded a bit lively.
"You’re making miss my own lover."
"Huh?"
"Ryu Sungbin," Moon Noa said, his face lighting up instantly. "How is Ryu Sungbin."
Oh, dear.
Moon Noa’s smile instantly vanished when he saw Yuno’s reaction. "Spill it."
Yuno averted his gaze from Moon Noa, feeling guilty already.
"What happened to Ryu Sungbin."
"..."
"Kid, if you don’t open your mouth, I’ll make you."
Aigoo.
That threat is scary, for real.
"Sajangnim, don’t snap, okay?" Yuno said when he glanced at Moon Noa nervously. "You and Ryu Sungbin had already broken up a long ti ago."
"Why did we break up?"
"I don’t know, sir. But Ryu Sungbin is already dating soone else."
"Who?"
Aigoo.
It was just one word, but Moon Noa said it in a voice so cold that it made the temperature in the room drop instantly.
"I’m sure you don’t know him, but Ryu Sungbin is dating a Guide nad Bambi—"
"That pink monster?" Moon Noa asked in disbelief, getting up abruptly. "Why is Ryu Sungbin dating a monster raised by the Lab?"
Excuse ?
"There’s a lot to unpack there, sir," Yuno said, confused and very much alard by the implications of Moon Noa’s words. "Bambi-ssi is a monster? And he was even raised by the sa Lab that tortured ?"
It was natural for him to be surprised.
After all, there were so many things that didn’t match.
Like how co Bambi didn’t know about E-Class Guides the first ti we t?!
