Caught up on season 1 of The Hunter's Gonna Lay Low manhwa and needed more! Been reading the webnovel and currently on Chapter 210. Absolutely loving it, highly recommended.
I'd say Lee Sa-young is my favorite so far, but also loooooove Cha Eui-jae too. Honestly all the characters are good!
🎀 Thank you very much Tumblr for deleting the request of someone after I looked at it. Ahhh. But whoever suggested cuddle time with one of the twins, I got your back! 🎀

Saeyoung's fingers rushed over the used keyboard, the numbers and letters already worn out by how quickly he had to abuse it. Normally he's not the type of person to be stingy, as everyone could see with his many cars, for example. But when it came to his computer equipment, he's doesn't like getting new stuff. Not because he didn't like the look or feeling, it's a simple reminder that his work's not even close to be finished. Evey time Saeyoung had to buy a new mouse or keyboard, he gets reminded of how much time's consumed by hacking, and that it's still a long way until he can use it all just for personal benefits.

A yawn espaced his lips, not sure what time it is as his room's dark. Only the little clock made out of pixels in the corner of the display's nice enough to torture him by showing how slowly time passed. It's always the same, when he's having fun in the chatoorm's, the break's over in a blink of an eye. But when he's at work, or doing research like right now, the minutes felt like hours to the young man with big glasses. Once in a while he cracked his fingers, stretching the bones he neglected since all he did was sitting. He opened another can of Dr. Pepper to boost his system, which's getting more and more tired. Sometimes Saeyoung's tempted to just take his chair and throw it into the screen to break it. However, he knows better than that.

At least he could listen to his favorite music instead of bearing the sound of code being hacked. The songs in his playlist are the only things that kept him from losing his sanity. The drink's not that cold though, as it stood on his messy desk for quite a while now. Saeyoung frowned, suddenly not feeling well by drinking nothing but Coke. The others in the chatoorm often commented about his eating habit, how he's destroying his body by just consuming Honey Budda Chips paired with Dr. Pepper. The redhead always brushed it over with a joke, but it indeed went up his throat regularly. Saeyoung's eyes closed for a moment, the green numbers one the cold, black background continued to move regardless. He's tired, it's hard to concentrate this way.

"Saeyoung..?"
Your sleepy voice came through his headphones, exactly for that he kept the music a bit quieter. You stood in the door and let light follow to make your figure visible. He could tell you just woke up, as your eyes are still hardly open, hair a slight mess and there are red imprints of sleep on your left side of the cheek and arm. His heart skipped a beat, it's such a sight to have you wear his shirts for the night, they're close to become a dress for you. Saeyoung's stiff face loosened up with a warm smile, pulling down the headphones to turn his chair into your direction.
"Good morning, sleepyhead~"
He purred, gaining a little giggle out of you. Suddenly the dark room didn't feel all that suffocating anymore. You rubbed your eyes as you came in, leaving the door open to show the sunlight that came through the windows in his living room. Immediately, he opened his arms for you. Something he wouldn't have done a couple of days ago, but now he accepted your affection and enjoyed having you close to his side, no matter if the time's a good one or not. Like you're in trance, you let yourself drop down into the red haired hacker's lap, filling the space between his arms in the most comfortable way possible. His big hands soon placed on your back to keep you safe from whatever's to come, it's like a shield to protect you and you loved it.
"How long.. you worked?"
He found your mumbling adorable, a sound better than any song on his playlist. You lay your head on his shoulder by his chuckle, taking in the sent of his hoodie. Sayoung had a special smell, even though he sat inside all day, there's something fresh to detect. A nice contrast. Sayoung hummed after looking at the time, he's not quite sure how many hours he's already sitting on his chair, but he has a vague idea.
"Hmm.. Maybe nine hours?"
Your reaction to the amount of time he put into his computer's to snuggle closer against him and warm up the air. He loved it when you hugged him, he never missed to feel the rhythm of your heartbeat. Your face buried in his shoulder, it's even harder to understand you.
"Not good. Take a break.."
"But I'm not done yet, (N). I'm meowrry."
He lifted his fist to make the pose, you smiled wide and took his hand into yours then. His muscles are tense, it's easy to feel even through the layers of fabric, it's worrying you. Sayoung worked day in and out, you wanted to make sure he's not putting himself in the background just to keep up with other hackers. You pulled him as close as possible with your arms around his neck, couldn't help but run one hand through his messy hair.
"Break. Now."
You ordered, but it's holding no weight to it by how sleepy you sounded. He suppressed another giggle to not upset you, instead he put the glasses away to do the same with his face, burning it into your neck. A deep sigh left his lips, only then he realized how tired he really was. Just wanted to pick you up and cuddle with you on the bed until both of you fall asleep. But Saeyoung's too busy, he really needed to track down the clues he found and see where it took him, now after finding out one of the secrets V kept from him. He's running out of time to find answers, or something he missed since childhood days. But.. maybe he could spear some minutes for you. After all, you're the reason he's now taking better care of himself, a will to keep on trying and big help with all your words. Saeyoung didn't know what he would do without you.
"Alright alright, whatever the sweetheart requires~"
It's soft and warm, the embrace such a sweet feeling that you could've fallen asleep again. But you knew he would take the opportunity and continue hurting his retina. Therefore, you did your best to keep your mind conscious. Both of you were aware he could recharge the best like this. And you couldn't deny, you loved to be the center of his attention, as it's mostly glued to the computer. His hand ran up and down your back in circles, as if he's trying to comfort you, however, you're the last to complain. A little gasp left you when he kissed your neck.
"Hmm... I missed you.."
His voice defiant as if you're the one that locked yourself away to work in darkness. You returned the favor and gave his cheek a smooth, it brought his eyes back up. You loved the amber bright color with sharp pattern so much, he could make you fall in love with only his eyes. It's obvious that he's on his limit, the bags underneath his eyes are dark and some shimmer's missing, power as it fits best. It made your heart arch, pouted too to show him. He titled his head in confusion.
"What is it, sweetie?"
"You look rough, Saeyoung.. Can't you come back to bed with me?"
"Ahhh, don't give me puppy eyes! You know I'm–"
"Just a minute? Please?"
He blushed, hair and cheeks now having the same color. How could he say no to such a cute sight? It's not fair. You put your head back onto his chest, slightly rocking back and forth, it's only making the hacker more tired. And you knew. Another yawn filled the air before he stroked his fingers through your hair. He's careful, as you still didn't combed it yet. A satisfied sigh fell from your lips, that's when he decided that a bit rest couldn't hurt.
"Fine.. but only because it's you."
A smile due to victory crept over your face, but it's soon replaced with a deep blush as Sayoung threw you over his shoulders. Shocked you looked back to him, only to meet a wide grin.
oh no. chaeyoung is a lot tougher than dahyun but she was still just a sensitive baby. when she got mommy mad the other day, she came out the room sobbing and rubbing her eyes because of the pain she felt in her bottom. poor thing :(
