Sitting in a Go Go Galbi with the members from the blame guild. I was happy that they invited me since I had no plan because Jinwoo and Jinah won't be home till late.

Hearing the group talk about their personal life. I cannot help but feeling empty that Jinwoo isn't here. I find it strange because back then even when Jinwoo went on raid, I was fine on my own but ever since I came back, I feel more clingy to him.

"Jiah?" hearing Woo-bin calling me.

"Huh? What?"

"So the next raid. Will you be joining us?"

"I'm not very sure, but I'll let you know."

"Alright."

It was late evening as I walked through the park alone after dinner with the Blame Guild.

"You've changed so much, Jinwoo." Hearing a female voice said.

Looking from the corner to see Jinwoo and another female woman. She was gorgeous with blue eyes, fair skin, and long bright orange hair that she had tied up.

She looked down with a sad smile on her face, "Meanwhile, I haven't changed at all..."

"You've been through alot. We have different ways of coping."

She smiles at him, "you're right. I have too much fear to be a hunter. I've tried to overcome it, but it hasn't been easy. As a B-rank healer, I should be going on A-rank or B-rank raids. Or at the very elast, C-rank ones. I knew better, but I still kept going on D-rank or E-rank raids. That's why our paths kept crossing...And I heal you injury time after time..."

"Ah...so she is one of people from the group he always raid with."

"To be honest, you got hurt so much it became pretty annoying. I thought you were stupid and vain at times...but...you always managed to survive. THose eyes, brimming with life, seemed like they were screaming for survival...for tomorrow. But I don't think I'll ever be able to have those eyes. You promised we'd eat together when we came back alive, didn't you?"

Jinwoo looks surprise at her when she takes out a diamond looking crystal and hands it over to him, "I'll return this."

"Wait... are you..."

"I'm retiring."

"I'm gonna head back to my hometown Busan. Tell me if you ever visit! I'll buy some fresh sashimi."

Jinwoo takes the crystal back and smiles, "If I come around, I'll ask you to go out with me again."

I feel kind of sad but some part of me feels annoyed that he is smiling at another woman. I know it is strange and all for me to feel this way. I mean they are friends but still.

"I sense a stray kitten hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping." Trying to sneak away after she had left.

I stop in my tracks. He knew I was there all along and never said anything?

"Erm...hi?" I let out a nervous chuckle.

"Eve dropping is not very nice," he folds his arms across his chest.

"It is not eavesdropping when I just wandered into a conversation and found it interesting."

"Uh-huh..." he did not sound convinced.

"Well, I mean I was walking by until I heard the conversation..." thinking about Joohee and how pretty she is along with her inviting him to her hometown for food sounds like a date. It kinds of made me jealous.

"Are you jealous?"

"Wa...wait...wh...what? No!"

He grins at me, "I can see the pouty look on your face of jealously."

"What pout?"

Jin-woo chuckles at me and kisses my forehead, "It is obvious, little one. And I assure you that Joohee and I are nothing more than friends."

I can feel my face heating up at his affectionate gesture.
