Chapter 70- Introduction

It was just over six in the morning when Jinah found her consciousness clearing up and the first thing she did was to call the person she wanted to see as soon as possible.

And here he was.

Jinah didn't know how much she had missed this warmth, this scent, this sense of safety...she just missed it all even though slightly more than just a day had passed when Haru left her side.

She was just now addicted to his presence in her life. And there was nothing that could replace this feeling for him.

"Easy there. You are still recovering." Haru slowly brought themselves back to the ground before he closed the distance and embraced her more comfortably.

Feeling her back in his arms, safe and sound was the best feeling he could have ever experienced.

His hand slowly caressed the back of her head and the other hand patted her back slowly. She was never meant to be brought in the shades of such brutality and because of his carelessness, Jinah had to go through such a traumatic incident, after all.

He had already planned to take care of the Orc incident which would be occurring soon in the school, however, he could have never planned for this previous altercation.

Well, everything was fine until she was safe and healthy.

"Did you sleep well?" In between his slow pats, Haru asked in a gentle whisper.

"Mm-hmm..." Since her face was dug deep inside his chest, her voice was leaking out in hums only.

She seemed too adorable like this. If only Haru could reach his phone...

"Any discomfort?" Since she was forcibly dragged by the bitch Monarch of good-fo-nothing, Jinah received grave damage. Haru healed her using RCT(Reverse Curse Technique) to some extent but she still seemed in great pain.

Hearing his question, Jinah didn't think before replying,

"I am getting healed so just stay put..." She rubbed her face on him like a little cat.

'Oh lord...please provide me some tolerance...' He just wanted to squeeze her in his arms and kiss her right there and then, but he needed to hold back.

This was not the safe time for that...he needed to hold back...he needed to...

"Jinah." Separating himself from her a little, he placed his index finger under her chin and tilted her face toward him.

"!!!" Jinah's eyes widened as she felt his warm lips pressing against her.

This...he was kissing her!!

Jinah barely held herself from squealing and jumping like a little girl, as she remained frozen at her spot.

Haru could sense how she was feeling at the moment, however, he was feeling calm and composed at the moment. Like he was doing the most right thing in the world.

His lips remained attached to hers before he pecked on them a couple of times, savoring her taste and noting the texture of her supple lips inside his remembrance.

Their lips remained connected for a good minute before she found him detaching...urging Jinah to feel a little disappointed since for the first few seconds she didn't even realize that she was experiencing her first kiss.

However, soon her disappointment turned into surprise as she found Haru encircling his arm around her waist and resting his face in the crook of her neck

"Haru...?"

"Lemme be like this for a moment." His tone was weak, almost like he was relieved for something.

It didn't take Jinah to know what he was relieved about as she moved her arms around his neck and allowed him better access.

She knew he was tense about her...how couldn't she know what kind of worrywart this guy was for her?

"I am alright now, Haru...I am here with you, right?" She tried coaxing him this time. As she thought, she was blessed to have such a partner who didn't hide his feelings from her.

He might be a great Hunter for the world, but for her, he was just her Haru.

"Mm..." Haru hummed in response before he was finally able to calm himself down.

Even he never realized how tensed he still was. And all that stress suddenly burst at once and he wasn't able to hold himself.

"You can hold me some more..." Well, the offer was tempting but Haru shook his head in denial.

"You need to rest now." They have been standing for more than ten minutes now and as of now, Jinah needed to rest as much as she could.

"You are treating me like a glass doll. I have beaten up some goons in the past, you know." There was a very small bulge on her left cheek, indicating how she didn't want to be separated from her favorite warmth.

Truth be told, Haru also wanted to hold her all day long, but he needed to inform Jinah's family about her awakening as well.

'Well, Sunbae must have already known about it...' The shadow lurking around Jinah must have informed their master about Jinah's condition.

Haru negated their vision when he was having his moment with Jinah, since despite the person in question being Jinah's brother, Haru felt weird.

"Hey, Haru..." Just as he was about to turn and go out of the room, he heard Jinah's unsure tone.

He turned back toward her and was slightly surprised to see her blushing visage and nervous demeanor.

"Yeah?" He asked in slight concern that she might be still uncomfortable or something, but...

"Umm...c-can you take me on a date, today?"

"..."

This girl was really unpredictable sometimes.

Haru wanted to leave the place after notifying Jin-Woo since it would be awkward to be present in the Sung residence so early in the morning

But Jinah didn't want Haru to leave for some reason so of course, there was no way he could go against her plea.

Jinah's mother was naturally worried and asking about her daughter well well-being over and over again. Sung Il-Hwan just asked Jinah once whether she was fine now and went silent after that.

Jin-Woo also entered the living room after freshening up and chatted with Haru for some minutes before Jinah called up for him.

"Oppa...mom...dad." Seeing her nervousness, the three being mentioned glanced at each other but none had any idea why she was behaving like this. Even Haru wasn't sure.

However, soon everyone's curiosity was satiated when Jinah walked up to Haru and while gesturing toward him, she voiced out loud,

"Please meet my boyfriend, Nanase Haruka. "

A/N:- Ah, shit. They surely never would have expected this.
