Sitting in the living room after that awkward encounter.

Across me is half naked Jin-woo dressed in sweatpants with his arm across his bare chest.

I cannot help but drool at him. His physical features have changed so dramatically from his face to his body, that it has become the man of every women's dreams.

'What the fuck is wrong with me?' reminding myself that I have always looked up to him as a big brother.

"See what you like, little one?" he smirks at me.

Blinking in surprise at his change of personality and vibe, too. He is way more confident about himself, and he has this domineering vibe that is impossible not to notice.

Feeling the heat rush up my face. Looking away in embarrassment, "Nope, it is awkward to see you dressed like this."

He blinks in surprise and looks at himself, "well, I suppose you might find this strange."

'No shit Sherlock...'

"Please put a shirt on. Thank you very much."

Listening to him talk about what have happened.

"Hold on, you ended up in a double dungeon?" I cannot believe what I am hearing.

Most of his group were killed. Other than Jin-woo, there are only three others to manage to survive and those three are Joohee, Chi-Yul and Sangshik but so far Jin-woo have not been in contact with those three, and I am glad that Woo-bin had other plans on that day. After that, he had a run in with a group of Lizards. So far when it comes to financial, at least he is well off right now to cover for everything.

Meanwhile, Jinah is having the time of her life studying and enjoying her time at school with her friends.

"About the rent, I will pay what I owe you after a few jobs doing dungeon raid." I am 2 years behind the rent I owe him and maybe a few months extra. I do plan on paying him everything.

He frowns at him.

'I wonder if he is annoyed that he had to pay everything while he kept my room occupied.'

"Something the matter?"

"As of now, I want you to take time off and rest."

'Huh? He expects me to rest while I owe him alot?'

"Look, I am feeling fine. As you can see, I am well, so I can handle dungeon raids."

He shakes his head at him, not agreeing to my words, "No, you will rest. As for the rent, I can wait since I am earning enough to cover every expense."

"You do know I cannot not do anything at all..."

"I know, but I do not want you to end up in a Red Gate again. Do you know how worried I was? I do not want to lose you again."

After Jeju island, the orphanage has never cared about us and only cared about the money that the government have given them every month to keep the place running. Even after that while working at the café, whenever I come in to work with injuries from the fight ring, no one seems to batter an eye at me. But when I met Jin-woo, Song-Yi and Jinah, they cared a lot about my well-being and am touched.

Biting the bottom of my lips. I know what he feels, and I feel guilty about making him worry.

"I know, but I do need to earn a living. I cannot stand by like this."

He thought for a moment, "Hmm...why not you take a week break and when I have a dungeon raid, I will take you with me so at least you earn your keep through that. How does that sound?"

Thinking about it. It did make some sense since I will be earning money, and he can watch over me.

"Fine..." grumbling in agreement.

He smiles softly at me and went over to pat my head, "Good girl."

If anyone had called me that and did what he did, I would have kicked their ass but somehow when he says and does that, it makes me feel all mushy inside and I really like the praise he is giving me.

His phone pings.

He looks at his screen and frowns. He looks at me, "I have a dungeon raid. Will you be a good girl for me and rest at home today?"

I do not know what possesses me, but I nod, wanting to please him.

He smiles at me, and it makes me melt at how I am willing to give in to him as he kisses my forehead, "Good girl. Wait for me."

Watching him go to his room. He comes out almost immediately to go for a dungeon raid.

'Fuck...what the hell is wrong with me?'
