That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 68.2
“Mr. Da-sol!”
Da-sol, who had been walking ahead, turned his head at Jae-gyeong’s call and said irritably.
“Do not come. I am fucking pissed off right now.”
“Just a moment, Mr. Da-sol!”
“Damn it.”
However, Jae-gyeong, who was an attack-type hunter, was too fast. Da-sol, truly not wanting to be caught by Jae-gyeong, suddenly started running. He headed for the emergency stairs instead of the elevator.
“Oh? Mr. Da-sol, wait a second!”
From then on, a ridiculous game of cat and mouse began. Da-sol, whom Jae-gyeong thought would be easy to catch, was surprisingly fast. It was the first time he had seen a healer who was as fast and had as much stamina as an attack-type hunter.
Jae-gyeong chased him, calling his name countless times, but Da-sol kept dodging him skillfully, sliding down the railings, ducking into other floors to cause confusion, and going back up only to descend via different staircases.
“Huff, huff… Da-sol, Mr. Da-sol, huff…”
How many times had they gone up and down like that? Maybe a dozen? Jae-gyeong lost Da-sol halfway through. Setting aside the heartache of losing Da-sol, his admiration and awe for him grew even deeper.
“How on earth… huff, huff, did you run away like that… huff, cough, cough!”
While coughing, he even brought up stomach acid, so Jae-gyeong simply sat down in a corner of the emergency stairs.
Since that day, Da-sol avoided all of Jae-gyeong’s contact and did not run into him anywhere.
Jae-gyeong met Da-sol again a week later, on the day an emergency gate burst open and an S-rank dungeon appeared.

However, it is necessary to examine Da-sol’s whereabouts during the week before the dungeon raid. This is because there has been a very big change in Da-sol.
For a week, he had openly avoided Jae-gyeong. Thinking about him brought up complex emotions, and since the biggest among them was anger, he had to avoid Jae-gyeong if he did not want to beat him to death.
In the meantime, there had been countless people who approached Da-sol after seeing his face, but Jae-gyeong was the only one who approached him after mistaking Da-sol’s face for Da-in’s.
Of course, the siblings Da-in and Da-sol had been famous for being pretty and cute since they were young, and they were often mistaken for sisters. But as they got older and their respective gender characteristics began to stand out, such incidents decreased. Above all, their personalities were so different that they could be described as polar opposites.
Da-in was energetic, bright, and had good social skills. Even though she was a hardcore geek (Da-in had been a fan of Hyeon Hee-ro for a long time), she was very good at hiding it. She preferred to decorate herself brilliantly, had distinct tastes, and her personality itself was quite easygoing and round.
On the other hand, Da-sol was dark, quiet, and his social skills crawled on the floor. He had never loved anyone in his life, and he did not even feel great affection for his family. His parents and Da-in were like overly hot suns to Da-sol, so he did not want to get too close to them.
He always felt like he was distanced from people. Starting from his family to his friends, colleagues… he felt like a human who just did not fit into society itself. He hated humans and also thought it was a great waste to spend his time on other people.
When personalities were this different, the inner self was bound to be reflected in the face. After becoming an adult, no one mistook Da-in for Da-sol, and rather, there were more people who were surprised that they were siblings who shared the same blood despite their faces being so similar.
But stupid Jeong Jae-gyeong said he thought Da-sol was Da-in as soon as he saw him. Looking back, how surprised Jae-gyeong had been when he first saw Da-sol… Yes, he had thought that was strange.
However, because there were so many people who were surprised after seeing Da-sol’s beautiful face, Da-sol had just assumed Jae-gyeong was one of those types and moved on.
‘Seo Da-sol…?’
He understood now why Jae-gyeong had been so unfamiliar when he first heard Da-sol’s name. Since there was no hunter who did not know Da-sol, an A-rank healer, the fact that he acted as if it were a name he heard for the first time must have been because he truly mistook Da-sol for Da-in.
“Damn it… this is so embarrassing.”
For the first time, Da-sol stood in front of a mirror and looked closely at his own face. To his eyes, he did not seem that similar to Da-in. Even in the past, Hyeon Hee-ro and Jeong Jeong-eon had mistaken Da-in for Da-sol’s girlfriend. They did not look that identical.
‘But if he looked at this face and saw Seo Da-in to the point of shedding tears… just how much did he like her?’
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Da-sol’s mood turned rapidly for the worse. He even felt a sudden impulse to smash the mirror.
‘What resembles her the most?’
Da-sol had considered getting plastic surgery (in the direction of being ugly) until now, but that day, he seriously wondered if he should fix the parts that looked most like Da-in. He stopped soon after, though.
Anyway, it was clear that the incident with Jae-gyeong had left Da-sol in a state of great shock.
