solo leveling jin-woo x reader

chapter 25

Not much time passed before hunter Woo took charge of the hunter foundation since the chairman passed. Jin and I cooped with his death in different ways. He pledged to hunt down the ice monarch and I drowned myself in food. One thing we did do together was destroyed gates. 

The Ahjin guild building was swarmed with reporters outside. Opening the door to the office room, mine and Jin's theory was confirmed about this aura Thomas emitted. Any powerful hunter emits a different aura and Thomas has this effect that makes it difficult to breathe. How his assistant can stay by him all day amazes me. 

"Hyung-nim! Noona! Why weren't you picking up my calls?" Thomas being here must have surprised Jin-ho. From his expression, I can only imagine his soul trying the escape his body. "Your clothes are."

"There's been a lot of gate outbreaks. We cant be lazing around at a time like this." 

Thomas stood up to greet us. One thing I remember after talking to him in this world was his character. Thomas has a lot of pride and although his attitude needs an adjustment, he has a kind soul. It may not appear but even before we fought him he gave us an out since he is a national-level hunter. He's also willing to put his pride aside for the people in his guild. He's an amazing character but I guess he isn't technically a character in a story anymore.

Thomas took us to a restaurant and easily cleared it out so it was only me, Jin, Thomas, and his people in black suits.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment." With a snap of his fingers, one of the men walked over with a large black suitcase with the edges and corners covered in metal putting it in front of us. "Can you feel it? The power of this item. This is me showing my Gratitude for sparing the lives of my guild members." 

Opening the case with a click revealing Jin's new daggers, Kamish canine tooth. Although they are the same material the two daggers look nothing alike, one was covered in more black with a taller and slim finish with the other a brownish-red and the blade is thick like a chef's knife. 

"Don't think I forgot your request." Catching my attention as he lifted the padding in the case revealing a new jacket. It was clear that he made note of how I stay by Jin's side because the red coloring was the same as the Kamish daggers. That's not to mention it was long like Jin's but the bottom edge was shorter at the front and slowly sloped to the back giving it a more feminine appeal. 

"The material is pretty sturdy and can withstand different elements like water and fire. It's the fabric equivalent of a suit of armor." I held the top of the jacket in my hands with the rest unraveling and falling into my lap. Subconsciously tears fall down my face catching the men in surprise. That was before we felt pressure pushing at us. 

We ran out of the restaurant to face a gate that covered the whole sky. The people below pulled out their phones to call loved ones or to video the gate.

Gates tend to take from a few days to a week to break out. Taking this chance to train and see how strong our soldiers have become. With Jin fighting Beru I waited my turn to face the shadow. In the meantime, I took a few photos of them. My camera role is nothing but Jin, a few of them I made Jin dress up and pose for.

"Are you really trying your hardest?"

"My king, I wouldn't dare to."

"It's alright, I just wanted to break a sweat a little bit and you know that you and Ji-soo are the only ones who could make me do so."

"Your words have filled me with deep emotions." Beru bowed, his head almost touching the floor. 

"You're getting better at expressing your feelings with words. You didn't eat a human somewhere, did you?" How can he say that with a straight face? Against the edge of the room, I fell from laughing. "Anyways let's start. Hoping in place waiting for beru to attack first.

The fight basically continued as Jin wiped the floor with Beru. He even gave him a speech on how there can only be one commander and how the others are catching up. 

"I am continuously amazed by my king's might strength."

"I think I need to start blocking historical drama channels so you can't watch more." 

I ran over to Beru who was pouting. "Don't you dear. For how much work you put them through you should be nicer. The higher the rank the more intelligent they become meaning they can feel emotions."

"My queen." 

"And there's that too. I enjoy him calling me his queen." I don't know why but Beru out of nowhere started referring to me as queen. He calls Jin king because Jin defeated him and is his boss but beru isn't my underling. Oh well not like I'm gonna stop him. 

Jin only shook his head as he pulled out his phone. His face quickly fell into worry as he spoke. "Um, Chairman? Please hear me out without getting upset. I have 300 ants that are great at doing labor work." I laughed while patting Beru.

Time passed and we were getting ready for bed. Jin walked into the room with his normal sweatpants and a white T-shirt. "Hey Ji-soo, do you wanna go to an amusement park." Looking up from the news on the gate to him. He walked past me in the chair to the bed.

A small giggle left my mouth catching him off guard since it was a unique response. "Sorry, It's just this happened in the story." From his silent response, I took that as a queue to explain. "In the story, you called up hunter Cha and went to the amusement park because you want to go at least once and she was your only friend. God everyone thought it was hilarious. Two of the fastest people on a roller coaster. You can go for a jog and it'll be faster. To answer your question though yes I will." 

Satisfied he pulled the cover over about to hop in but I stopped him with an obvious fake cough. Looking back in my direction just to see me tapping my lips. Going with my childish antics he leaned on the chair arms and gave me a kiss. With that smile on his face, I don't think he minds me doing stuff like this. 

"I want to get my kisses in." 

"Why?"

Why did you have to ask that? "Because I don't want you going to some other girl." I lied through my teeth. Putting up an act to hide the sorrow I felt in that moment 

"You don't have to worry about that." Actually, you might have to go to someone else. We both got in bed saying goodbye to the day.

Jin you may not have realized this but your goal is to become stronger, stronger than everyone else but mine Is just to keep you smiling. I'm willing to cover my hands in blood and make so many sacrifices just so you can keep your emotions and humanity. 

Just because I love you.
