Jinwoo can't believe what he just did. 'Oh... shit.' This is a problem...

He is so screwed.

...

Did she notice his presence?

Sweat evident on his forehead, he gulped nervously. But he stayed frozen on his spot. If a person could see Sung Jinwoo right now... they'll probably laugh at him and would say, 'This is the newest S-rank Hunter? Pathetic...'

Oh yes, pathetic he is. Because just look at what his childish excitement got him into. The situation he's currently in is not in the list of awesome things to experience in life, well, for him.

He was just... happy these days. With all these new powers he received and the System kept on giving him upgrades and new features constantly popped up as he leveled up, it was exhilarating. For once in his life, he finally felt he had the chance to do something as a hunter. He was the weakly E-rank hunter from before, people would constantly pick on him because of it. So he thought, finally, with this gift he could finally support his younger sister and his mother without problems. If he is lucky, he might even find a cure for his mom.

So once he acquired a new skill through continuous achievements of his missions in different dungeons, he immediately tried to test it out. It's called "Sensory Sharing" and it seems he can use it to see what a Shadow Soldier sees in its own perspective wherever it is currently situated.

Therefore, with his refreshed excitement and curiosity he quickly tried to use it. On a whim, he just sensed the nearest Shadow deployed in the city and commanded the skill to activate.

Now, because of his impulsiveness, he is currently in this situation. In an unknown place? Is he in an apartment? And there was a woman in front of his current position. That... notable blonde shoulder-cut hair... 'Cha Haein!' His eyes widened as he quickly recognized the person.

On a normal day he would've probably greet her in some way. It felt good to see a familiar face after all this time and it would felt reassuring. Unfortunately, this is not a normal day. :)

Cha Haein was undressed.

'I'm dead.' Jinwoo thought as he stayed rooted to his spot. Yes, he is still a guy in his early adulthood even if he is cold and scary as hell when he fights a battle, things like these, can ... still make him... uncomfortable. And yes, Cha Haein is not your typical woman here, she's an S-rank hunter, he still did not want any trouble from her.

As if on cue, Haein jolted in her spot and stopped putting her shirt on. "Someone there?" She glared and her eyes moved around the room, scanning her surroundings. The warrior in her surfaced yet again and she reached for her sword by the side of the bed.

'Uh oh. Time to go.' Back to his senses, Jinwoo immediately deactivated his skill and in split second he was back in his room once more. He stared blankly at his wall before groaning loudly in embarrassment. He covered his face with his hands before lying on the bed. He mumbles a string of curses to no one in the room. He did felt a bit weird as the realization sunk in about this predicament.

...

The Orcs he summoned earlier for their night patrol around the neighborhood just stared in confusion at their master's actions.

[My liege...] Igrit's voice echoed in his mind and Jinwoo froze.

'Oh no...'

[I know you are still a growing man, my liege... but I think you should learn to...]

Jinwoo blinked in mortification.

[It would be wise to have the lady's consent when you want to look at her naked body. *coughs* And it seems in this age, my king, they have what they call... condoms for safe intercourse.]

"Wha-? No! I'm not going.. that!" Jinwoo stuttered on his own words, his ears red.

[... In addition to that my liege, you are still a man. The sight of the lady's flawless skin must've been a sigh that may invoke some reactions to your body my liege...]

'Flawless skin? Huh? Oh...' Jinwoo blinked as the memories flashed in his mind again and he shook his head, hoping to get that image out of his head.

"Igrit! Stop! It was an accident okay? I-"

"OPPA! Can you be quiet! I'm trying to study!" The door to Jinwoo's room suddenly opened and his younger sister stood at the entrance.

Jinah squinted her eyes and she scanned the room. 'Brother's bed is messy... His hair is disheveled... his ears red... and he looks flustered.'

She stared at her older brother, disgust painted on her face.

"...Oppa you know... If you want to watch porn, don't do it while I'm here okay?" Then she slammed the door shut, leaving her older brother shocked.

"..P-porn? What- No, Jinah!"

...

He's tired. For days he had to deal with his sister's sour conversations with him and Igrit's continuous 'lectures' about this predicament.

It did not help when he briefly saw the lady in question as he rode Kaisel in the sky. It seems they were preparing for a raid. And once he saw her, he jumped lightly on his spot and quickly looked away as he remembered.

"Igrit! Yes! I'll make it up to her someday, okay? Please... stop with this topic already!"

Jinwoo groaned in annoyance.

Ayo! Remember the time when Jinwoo mentioned (light novel) that he did something to Haein? Mumbling to himself about that he should treat her somewhere after what he did. My oh my. My mind would not just pass another opportunity like THAT. I need to write something about it! And here you go, this is more on Jinwoo's side. Flustered Jinwoo btw. I guess the thing happened somewhere between him testing his powers out and I could just imagine his face lol. Added some Igrit moments too because I could just imagine him lecturing his liege. Chivalry and stuffs like that...

Anyways, hope you like my double update!
