Jason raised his head and leased with her expression.

  In the meantime, Cha Hae-In tio stare at his graceful figure w his magito the kit, whily resulted in the inftion of her hunger.

  Soon, the duo was sitting across from each other, enjoying the tasty dinner cooked by Jason.

  " I ask you something?" Jason opened his mouth and asked.

  "Okay," Cha Hae-In nodded her head.

  "Why do you bee a hunter?" Jason asked, "Don't take me wrong but you don't look like a person who is particurly ied in this field of work. I think you only became a hunter because you were awakened with the power of a S-rank. With your meticulous and g personality, you feel burdeo bee a hunter and protect the people."

  Cha Hae-In listeo his words attentively and stopped eating, frozen in her spot.

  "Me?" Jason was startled by her answer, pointing at himself with an unbelievable expression.

  Cha Hae-In smiled and expined. "It's your selfless act of kihat inspired me in the first pce. Only you will help anyone who is in need without any selfish motives like you did with North Korea, Australia, and other tries that failed to close their gates in time, resulting in dungeon breaks... I clearly remember your speech regarding the value of a hunter..."

  She put a hand on her chest and spoke some words. "'A hunter should be selfless and always think about the i people who are standing behind him. If the huakes a step back then what will bee of those i lives.'"

  Jason couldn't help but feel embarrassed by her speech.

  "Don't tell me you join my guild with even such a low fee because of this..." He asked.

  Cha Hae-In smiled, in a way admitting it.

  Jason stared at her and sighed. "You know if not for your admiration for me, I might have mistaken it for love."

  Cha Hae-In was startled, almost jumping up from her seat, her voice stuttering. "H-How... it be possible? Hehehe... There is... nothing like this at all... I just.."

  Jason smiled and raised his hand, signalio take a breath.

  "Alright, alright, I get it. So... why do you like me?"

  "But I..." Cha Hae-In was quick to dee, finding it hard to look straight at him.

  Jason just smiled, speaking again. "Hahaha, I just had a hunch before but now I am a hundred pert sure. You are not good with hiding your emotions."

  "I... I..."

  'He knew! He knehat should I do know?... Only Secretary Xiao k! How did he...'

  While Cha Hae-In anig, Jason was chug at her.

  'No wohe girls are so forceful at me, going as far as to ask me to keep an eye on her.'

  The few minutes were very awkward for the stro female hunter in Korea.

  She tried to slip away but her oppo had no iions to let her escape.

  Before she reached the stairs, her body was grabbed by an invisible power and forcibly brought back to the living room against her wishes.

  "Sorry, but you 't leave." Jason's voice attracted her attention as she nded in his p, directly into his arms.

  "G-Guild Master, p-please... please don't make it difficult..." Cha Hae-In tried her best to protest and escape from his hands.

  Jason ignored her words aly moved her hair behind her ear, earning a blush.

  "You 't just run away from it. You've to face it directly."

  "But I..."

  *Ssshhh*

  Jason put a finger on her lips, sileng her. "No wohe girls are so enthusiastic about you. Meticulous yet g, Diligent and hard-w, and at the same time a pure heart. How about you want to go out with me?"

  "Uh, b-but what about Secretary Xiao and..." Cha Hae-I her heart skipping a beat but she still spoke, sideration for others.
