I never run out of mana Pt. 2

chapter 88

Jong Ho continued the call while looking at me, who had just exited the dungeon.

Seems that he was quite worried.

His face was red, tears streaming down his face.

Holding back the tears, Jong Ho spoke.

"Yes. We'll be there in an hour or two, missus."

-Hey. Min-Cheol would be disappointed.

"Haha. No, it was Min-Cheol who wants to return."

-Is that so? That boy... It's a rare occasion for him to go on a vacation, so why isn't he having fun before coming back... If that's the case, come over and eat breakfast before you go. Mr. Ho Jin is with you as well, right?

"Yes. We'll all come back together, missus. We'll see you then."

-Please do. I'll make lots of delicious food. Take care on the way home.

"Yes! Understood!"

Ho Jin's face was filled with a smile.

Yelling aloud in a way unique to him, he spread his arms as he came towards me.

Normally, Ho Jin didn't express his emotions much other than a hearty laughter.

This is probably best expression of happiness he could give.

Hugging me close, he patted my back.

"Thank you. Thanks."

"....."

"You've been through a lot."

"No worries. But was that call with my mother?"

Jong Ho was speechless.

"......"

"But Mr. Min-Cheol, what happened? For 9 hours...."

"Ah. I'll explain it all as we go. Sorry for worrying you all."

"Seeing that you're okay is enough. Thank goodness. All we can do is apologize for being unable to do anything but worry for you."

Wiping away the tears, Jong Ho opened his mouth.

"You okay?"

"Of course! I'm fine. Did you worry that I might have died?"

"Not at all. I was just annoyed because I got hungry while waiting for you."

"Today the marks the day I learned that hyung-nim cries when he's hungry."

"That's because Ho Jin hyung-nim accidentally poked me in the eyes before....."

"Sure, sure. Also, I have the be the one to bash on your fashion sense, so how could I go on dying?"

"Little runt... You've been through a lot."

"Sorry. And thank you, hyung."

"Ew. Gross... Let's go quickly. Your mother is probably waiting."

"Let's do that, Mr. Min-Cheol. You're probably tired, so please get in quick."

"Then let's talk as we go."

We went aboard Jong Ho's car.

It would be easier to travel via Warp, but the car that Jong Ho brought would be left behind.

The real reason was to talk about what happened inside the dungeon with these two though.

The one to start up that conversation again was Ho Jin.
