That Face Is the Problem - Chapter 79.1
‘Wh-What is it? Did I ask something unnecessary? Is he planning to punch me right now?’ While Jae-gyeong froze stiff and looked up at Da-sol, something suddenly flew toward Jae-gyeong’s face in a flash.
‘As expected, it’s a fist!’
Anticipating pain, Jae-gyeong squeezed his eyes shut. However, what landed on his face was not a sturdy fist, but moist lips.
Smooch…!
Jae-gyeong’s eyes widened. Right in front of his nose, he could see Da-sol with his eyes tightly closed, puckering his lips as cutely as a chick. Soon, Da-sol opened his eyes too. Their eyes met from an extremely close distance.
“Ahem!”
Da-sol cleared his throat and straightened his body.
“This is… my answer. See you tomorrow, then.”
Leaving behind only those words, Da-sol hurriedly rushed outside as if fleeing.
Jae-gyeong remained frozen like a stone statue before puckering his lips. The width of his nose expanded, flaring as if he were overwhelmed with emotion. Tears pooled in his delicate gray eyes and thick lower eyelashes.
Like a robot, he creaked as he stood up and headed to his bedroom. Then, as if something inside him had broken, he suddenly plunged onto the bed and began to wildly flail his limbs.
‘Mr. Da-sol likes me too! Mr. Da-sol likes me too! We’re dating now! I’m dating Mr. Da-sol!!’
On top of that, Da-sol was the type who believed that once you date someone, you must remain faithful to that relationship for life. That meant that if Jae-gyeong played his cards right, he could potentially date Da-sol for the rest of his life!
“Wow…”
Utterly unable to believe this fact, Jae-gyeong rolled around on the bed while clutching a pillow, only to end up falling onto the floor. Even so, his laughter would not stop. Laughing like a dazed idiot, he threw a punch at the pillow.
Thwack!
With a single punch, the pillow exploded, and the cotton filling burst out.
“Oh…!”
Flustered, Jae-gyeong quickly picked up the cotton and stuffed it back inside the pillow, but the already-ruptured pillow fabric tore even wider. In the end, he ended up throwing away a perfectly fine pillow that day. Even so, he was purely happy regardless.

“G-Good morning, Mr. Da-sol…”
“Yes, Jeong Mr. Jae-gyeong.”
“Gasp…!”
The moment he opened the front door, Da-sol—who had been waiting right outside—responded casually with ‘Jeong Mr. Jae-gyeong’. It had always been ‘Hunter Jeong Jae-gyeong’ or ‘Jeong Jae-gyeong’, ‘Hey’, and sometimes even ‘you son of a bitch’, ‘lunatic’, or ‘pervert bastard’, but now it was ‘Jeong Mr. Jae-gyeong’.
A wide grin spread across Jae-gyeong’s face. Da-sol glared at him.
“Don’t make it obvious in front of others. That we’re dating.”
“Gasp…!”
“And stop that gasping stuff too. It makes you look like a pervert.”
“Because hearing you say we’re dating makes me so happy all over again, Mr. Da-sol…”
“Ahem…”
Da-sol turned his head and cleared his throat. Although he couldn’t see his face, Jae-gyeong could tell that Da-sol was feeling good too.
“Mr. Da-sol… By the way, do you know what people do when they date…?” Jae-gyeong asked cautiously.
Although he had searched the internet diligently before going to sleep last night, the results were either crude answers or just replies saying you could hang out like you would with a friend. The former was something Jae-gyeong hadn’t even considered in the first place, but the latter was just as difficult. It was because he had rarely hung out with friends before.
“What do you usually do when you hang out with friends, Mr. Da-sol…?”
“I don’t have friends.”
“Uh… me too… haha…”
“Look at you enjoying it. Is that something to laugh about?”
“No, because it’s a commonality…”
As Jae-gyeong spoke shyly, he let out an “Ah!” as if he had just realized something.
“Should we ask the Guild Master and the Association President…? What those two normally do…”
“Those two probably just make a disgusting scene, kiss, and have sex all day long. They won’t be of any help, so don’t even go near them.”
At the word ‘sex’, Jae-gyeong’s face instantly turned bright red. Da-sol glanced at Jae-gyeong and let out a hollow chuckle.
“How old are you that your face flushes just from hearing the word sex? I’ve never seen anyone worse than me.”
“No… it’s just…”
However, Da-sol’s face was just as red. For two men who had no friends and zero dating experience to just begin a relationship now, it was only natural for them to feel awkward and embarrassed.
The problem was that Da-sol cared quite a bit about saving face and was a person who disliked all men except for Jae-gyeong. As for Jae-gyeong, the problem was that he was excessively timid and everything he thought inside showed completely on his face.
Perhaps because of that, the two faced an early crisis the moment they stepped inside the guild.
“Oh! It’s the new tank-nim and Da-sol-oppa!”
“Hunter Jae-gyeong, good morning. Hello to you too, Da-sol.”
“Good morning, Healer-nim! Hunter Jeong Jae-gyeong-nim!”
Ri-na, Ye-jin, and Lee Hyeon, whom they hadn’t seen in a while, were standing in front of the elevator. Though it was said she had been hospitalized, Ri-na looked like she had put on a bit more weight than before, and Ye-jin’s face looked healthy, as if she had gotten plenty of rest. For some reason, Lee Hyeon was standing rigidly at attention. The terms he used to address Da-sol and Jae-gyeong had also shifted very far away from ‘hyung’.
