He had an evil grin on his face, "It's only just the beginning. We will meet again and this time you will be mine." His deep and dark voice sends shivers down my spine and his words sound more like a promise.
After the battle with the King of Dragon...
Staring in confusion after seeing the system notification after waking up.

"I am not the only player?"
This is interesting, though it is puzzling that there is no information about these players that has recruited me into the party. If they are talking about me being able to see their health, mana and fatigue, it will be hard since I am able to see them in humans or hunters during a dire situation like that time after completing the first dungeon.
Trying to sense if there are any players near me but all I sense is Jin-woo who is a hunter so finding another player is like a needle in a haystack. I have no idea what is an indication of a player but then again, it is useless to keep my focus on this at the moment where it will lead me to nowhere.
A knock on my door.
Jin-woo walks in, "How are you feeling?"
I can sense he is worried about me after last night, "I am fine...what's up?"
"You have slept in, and it is after lunchtime, and since I am meeting a friend. Want to accompany me? After meeting with my friend we can get some dinner since Jinah will not be coming home for dinner."
Thinking for a moment.
'It is not like I have anything to do for the day.'
"Sure why not."
"Get change, we are leaving in 15 minutes."
"Okay."

Arriving at a franchise café located not too far from our place.
Even though it is a weekday, there are quite a few people inside the café.
"Hyung-nim, over here!"
Jin-woo look over at a young man dressed casually and waving his hands at us. He has a boyish face with gray eyes and custard-coloured hair that is shaved on all sides of his head.
Sitting down on the other side of the table. The man have a half-eaten ice cream on top of the table.
"Didn't think we'd meet again!" Jin-woo said to him.
"And who is this lovely little lady?" the man asks him.
"Jin-ho, this is Lee Jiah, my roommate and Jiah, this is Yu Jin-ho."
"Nice to meet you!" Jin-ho smiles at me.
"Likewise..."
"What would you like to order? Should I go and get you some coffee?"
"No, it's fine."
Jin-ho frowns and sits back down.
I zone out a little. My attention went to the group of students talking very loudly when I notice Jin-woo looking annoyed and went over to tell them to keep quiet, but the students seem to be a rowdy bunch. One of the students threw something at him which ticks Jin-woo off.
I am surprised how Jin-woo threaten them with just crushing a metal spoon in his hand, and they went silent.
Jin-woo returns to his seat, and I cannot help but look at him. Never had I seen him so dominating and honestly it is kind of hot.
"Something the matter?" he looks at me in amusement.
Trying to find a comeback, but nothing seems to come out from my mouth. Looking away in embracement when I feel the heat rushing to my cheeks, "Nothing..."
I can see Jin-ho's eyes sparkled, "As expected of you, hyung-nim."
Rolling my eyes at him at how he fawns over Jin-woo so easily.
"Enough. Why did you ask for the meeting" Jin-woo going back to the topic at hand.
"Well, that....Hyung-nim. I gave this matter a lot of thought. I mean, lots and lots of thought, you know? But, I really think, seriously, must ask you."
Jin-woo and I tilt our head.
"What are you talking about?" Jin-woo asks.
When Jin-ho is halfway telling him that he wants to form a team but Jin-woo did not hesitate to reply that he is not interested.
