You are a low-ranked hunter, and so is your boyfriend, Jinwoo.

Jinwoo was an awfully insecure man, you knew that. Despite flashing you his charming and lovely little smiles— You knew he was scared and anxious deep within.

Despite his struggles in life for being the new patriarch of the family, Jinwoo treated you well and pampered you in his own little ways. He never allowed you to go into a gate without him.

Even if he cannot, for the life of him— Ever even fight,... Atleast he can take the blows for you.

So you decided to just skip out on one gate.

You should've been with him that day.

Because ever since coming back from a supposed double dungeon that took lives with it— Jinwoo grew more paranoid even his seemingly innocent smiles.

"Sarang,..." Jinwoo lulls out your name in his thin lips, fingers going up and gently curling around a strand of your locks. "Stay here, tonight, okay? Don't go out, please? It's okay, I can pay for this month's rent, please stay?"

Oh, those grey eyes of his.

How can you resist?

Those beady and round orbs that are just so lovely that you can help but be swept away into obedience.

All while you don't notice the fact that he feels a little more taller and his arms are a bit sturdier than the typical bone-thin ones he had before the incident.
