Sensing my gaze, he turned his eyes towards me and smiled silently.
That expression... how should I describe it? For the first time, Sung Hyunje looked human to me. Of course, he was still a distant figure, someone at the opposite end of the spectrum from me. Yet, right now, he felt... slightly different. A little new.
I found myself growing a bit curious. What kind of person is he, really? I knew plenty about his skills, his capabilities, his status as an S-rank Hunter, and as a Guild Leader. But beyond that? Almost nothing. Even after spending a couple of months frequently seeing him and building some semblance of a connection, I knew next to nothing about the ordinary aspects of his life. He must have had parents at some point. He must have had a childhood. Surely, he'd experienced at least one hardship in his life, even if it didn't seem to suite him.
"Don't smile, it might make me fond of you."
"Haven't you already grown quite fond of me?"
"I can't give you up, Han Yujin. I have no intention of letting go." - Sung Hyunje
"Isn't it too much to use our child in a fight?" - Sung Hyunje
STW: "Don't think about him too much."
HYJ: "You can not think about him?"
Either way, since the word partner carries weight, betrayal would be felt. "I'm not used to being hated" - Sung Hyunje
Hyuna: "If you don't want to be hated, just behave"
SHJ: "I could. But having him get mad at me will be fun too"
HYJ: "'Be selfish,' you said? That's basically 'do whatever I want,' isn't it. Since you told me to, I will. I don't care what you do."
Meeting his eyes head-on, Han Yujin spoke.
"I-damn it. I want Sung Hyunje to be the last one. Just live in this world. Pulling whatever self-indulgent, batshit stunts. I want that, and I'll make it happen. Whatever your scheme is - I don't care, it's what I want."
"I'm going to do as I want. You picked the fight first. So if you'll cooperate, cooperate; if not, get lost. Of course, if you vanish on your own, I'll find you somehow, grab you by the collar, and drag you back." One way or another. - Han Yujin
[this entire scene is so good T^T I wish I could've included more]
Even if I lose everything again, if I go back again, I'll love everyone again. Even Sung Hyunje... - Han Yoojin
Sung Hyunje is a bit--no, quite--annoying, hard to read, willful, and too perfect; honestly, I get jealous; I have plenty of complaints. Even so, he's one of my precious people. Like the others, I do like him. If he suddenly left, I'd be terribly lonely. - Han Yoojin
... letting someone close, someone you care about, just be, is nearly impossible. Even if it's for them, well... in the end it's your own desire, too.
After the banquet, Han Yujin confessed to her, but he seemed more concerned with Sung Hyunje than with her, so she had thought it might just pass.
"So you wanted to hear Sung Hyunje call you Master too."
"No, that's--... Honestly, there are lots of people besides me who'd want to hear it." - Han Yujin
"Both of you are so beautiful" - Sung Hyunje
"Honestly, you must have been cute when you were little. Just looking a Gyeol shows that much." - Han Yujin
"I shouldn't blame the victim, but I want to" -Han Yujin about SHJ
"Trying to take away one of only two valuable things from someone like me - isn't that too much?" - Sung Hyunje
"If Han Yujin wishes it, I'll cleanly handle them anytime" - Sung Hyunje
I took a sip of tea and looked at Sung Hyunje again. The weather was nice and the scenery was nice. - Han Yoojin
"I'm reflecting on the fact that respecting others is more difficult than I thought." - Sung Hyunje
Sung Hyunje turned his gaze to look at Han Yujin. It was quite an affectionate look. "Being asleep isn't bad either. But still, isn't the moving figure most beautiful?"
"Someone sew up Sung Hyunje's mouth. You just like it when you're having fun."
"Not at all. Though of course Han Yujin does make me happy."
"I was in the middle of proposing to Director Han Yujin" - Sung Hyunje
