That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 66.1
‘His eyes are definitely dirty.’
‘Aren’t you going to take your perverted eyes off me?’
‘Your eyes.’
All this time, Da-sol had said that he could tell whether a person harbored dark motives toward him just by looking at their eyes. And right now, he was wearing an expression of pure shock. It was clear that he had read a certain emotion in Jae-gyeong’s eyes.
“Is the Training Guild doing well? Ah, by the way, you left before you could receive my wedding invitation! I’m getting married soon.”
“Ah… uh, yes… But I think I’ll be busy on that day… Congratulations…”
“Ah, I see. It’s fine even if you can’t come. Still, I really liked you, Hunter Jeong Jae-gyeong, so it’s a shame~”
Da-in failed to grasp the atmosphere that had grown stiffer than before and smoothly continued her social interactions. Jae-gyeong couldn’t even reply properly because he was walking on eggshells around Da-sol, and Da-sol was still staring intently at Jae-gyeong with a face full of shock.
Da-in noticed Da-sol standing at the end of Jae-gyeong’s gaze and suddenly slapped his back hard.
“Hey! Why are you glaring at the hunter like that? I’m telling you, he acts like this at home too. No one else in the family has this kind of personality, so if it weren’t for our matching faces, I would have truly believed he was picked up from somewhere.”
Da-in spoke jokingly as she shoved Da-sol toward the kitchen.
“Da-sol, go bring some coffee or tea. A guest is here, so what are you doing standing there blankly, huh?”
It was a sweet and generous voice, but it was an etiquette lesson phrase that anyone could feel was delivered through clenched teeth as a semi-threat. Surprisingly, Da-sol walked into the kitchen without saying much.
Left alone in the living room with Da-in, only Jae-gyeong fidgeted anxiously and glanced toward the kitchen.
“Don’t worry too much about it. It’s just because he doesn’t really like it when family members and company people meet. In the past, I also met Hee-ro-님… no, the Training Guild Master… hehe, it was really nice back then… to think he would leave like that to find love…”
Da-in’s tone grew bitter and dark toward the end. Her expression hardened too. If it were the usual Jae-gyeong, he would have noticed the change immediately and realized that Da-in was a massive fan of Hee-ro, but right now, Jae-gyeong couldn’t care less about that and felt like he was going crazy with concern over Da-sol.
“Um… I think I should go help Mr. Da-sol…”
“No, it’s fine! The homeowner should handle it himself! Please sit comfortably! Seeing you for the first time in a while, it feels like you’ve become even more handsome, hehehe.”
Without hesitation, Da-in made Jae-gyeong sit on the sofa and sat right next to him. Da-in’s characteristic perfume scent—the sweet, soft perfume scent of hers that Jae-gyeong had forgotten—drifted over heavily. For a split second, his heart instinctively fluttered, but his thoughts didn’t go any further than that.
“Ah… thank you. You’ve become even more beautiful too, Ms. Da-in…”
“Since it’s before the wedding, I’ve been going to dermatology clinics, getting aesthetic massages, and I’m even on a diet. Does it show?”
“Uh, yes… You were beautiful before too, but now you look much more… like a celebrity…”
“Hehehe, ah, what is this~ Hunter, you’re actually quite good at social life~”
Da-in laughed pleasantly and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. It was just when she playfully winked and replied, “Thank you.”
“Sit a bit apart from each other.”
Da-sol, who had brought two glasses of water, suddenly appeared between the two of them and spoke. It was impossible to even tell when he had come all the way here from the kitchen.
“Ah, you startled me! When did you get here? Looking at him, he doesn’t feel like a healer, he feels like an assassin or a hunter with a teleportation skill. His face looks so fierce too.”
“He–he doesn’t look fierce at all…!”
“Ahaha, Hunter, aren’t you walking on eggshells around Da-sol way too much?”
Da-in laughed heartily, then suddenly asked with a serious face.
“By any chance, he doesn’t swear at you, bully you, or anything like that, right?”
Countless harsh curse words and things closely resembling bullying flashed through Jae-gyeong’s mind like a panorama, but he managed to shake his head.
“Not at all…”
“If he does, you must tell me, okay? Because I’ll educate him properly.”
“What do you mean educate me? An unawakened person trying to educate me.”
“Da-sol? You should call me Noona.”
Da-in spoke sweetly, smiling while pulling up only the corners of her lips. However, Jae-gyeong somehow got goosebumps at that manner of speaking. ‘So Ms. Da-in was also a bit of a… scary person…’ He had known her for three years, but this was a side he was discovering for the very first time.
“Sure, Noona. I gave you water, so drink it quickly and leave.”
“Aren’t you even going to ask your Noona why she came to her younger brother’s house?”
“Yeah. Not curious.”
At Da-sol’s blunt reply, Da-in’s smile distorted slightly. However, she did not do something like throwing a tantrum or screaming in front of her former coworker. Whichever way you looked at it, she too was a professional worker.
“Hehehe, Da-sol. I told you before, let’s have a meal with Nam-hyeon and Nam-ju. Let’s set a date for that quickly. It’s good to get close since we’re going to become family.”
Nam-ju was Nam-hyeon’s younger sister, and she was a woman who harbored dark motives toward Da-sol. Whether she was aiming for a double in-law marriage or something, Da-sol rolled his eyes in annoyance.
