THE COMEDIAN BEGAN TO RETHINK
all his choices. Because, seriously, how could his host be this fucking stupid to walk straight into a trap? Even if he tried to warn her? The urge to smack Y/N like an asian mom was real right now.

You see, Y/N kind of... got a little too curious. And gave into her own urges. Remember last chapter which was a month ago? The author almost kind of left you all on read but in the case of an unfinished and un-updated story. Yeah, not too proud of her. Sending death threats right now.

But anyway, in the last chapter, Y/N talked about meeting Igris. So today she ignored all logic and rationality. 

And went to Sung Jin-Woo and asked him directly.

I'm sorry, okay?! I get it already! Shut up or I'm gonna mute you again.

"Y/N, I don't want to hurt you but please, you have to tell me how you know." Jin-Woo asked, maintaining a casual tone---but his face looked damn tensed. Was he constipated or just fucking afraid?

Now, how the hell was she supposed to come up with a good excuse? It had only been just yesterday since he got Igris in that special dungeon or whatever. It's not like Y/N just happened to wander in there and saw the little red mane sticking out of the shadow-helmet thing. Seriously, seriously bad decision-making on her part. Did she need to consult a therapist?

"I, uh, well---" Y/N stuttered, looking around his apartment to find a convenient excuse like she really could make up a reasonable excuse out of a fucking vase with plastic flowers? Thank Gods Jin-Ah was at school.

Then her eyes landed at his shadow. And a quick realisation came upon her. "Your shadow. It just, um, looked weird since yesterday. Alive. I can see some red-thingy with armor moving in there. I just, uh, thought I'd ask." Suddenly she was glad that she said "I know about your shadow!" before. If she said Igris' name? She was dead.

[𝖧𝖮𝖶... 𝖸𝖪𝖶, 𝖨 𝖣𝖮 𝖭𝖮𝖳 𝖦𝖨𝖵𝖤 𝖠 𝖥𝖴𝖢𝖪 𝖠𝖭𝖸𝖬𝖮𝖱𝖤 𝖮𝖭 𝖧𝖮𝖶 𝖳𝖧𝖠𝖳 𝖶𝖠𝖲 𝖠𝖢𝖳𝖴𝖠𝖫𝖫𝖸 𝖢𝖮𝖭𝖵𝖨𝖭𝖢𝖨𝖭𝖦]

She could lay off this excuse that was surprisingly pretty convincing, because she was an S-Rank. Y/N could make up some funky name for her new power. Like she'd been training her vision or some shit.

Jin-Woo relaxed, though only slightly, and exhaled a deep breath. He looked like he wanted to believe her, but he wasn't sure how. Y/N was pretty suspicious nowadays. And honestly? So was he. He's just better at hiding it.

There was a brief moment of silence, until Jin-Woo 'activated' his shadow powers or whatever, and Igris stood right beside him. Obviously Igris was taller, and Y/N couldn't help but marvel at how the 'shadow' effects looked in real life. He was so, so much cooler! 

"You're right. I have... a new power. His name is Igris. But I don't need this to be disclosed. In fact, it better not. So don't tell anyone and I'll let you... play with him?" Jin-Woo was trying to sound threatening, but was obviously failing pretty hard. Because that face in front of him looked innocently amazed and he seriously didn't know what he was doing with his life. Giving in to his best friend? Not like he could ever say no to her.
