Home Town (1)

Inside a simply decorated room.

Kim Chae-eun was lying on the bed, tightly gripping her phone.

She was waiting for a text message from early morning.

One, two three.

Boo-woong-

Exactly 3 seconds later, a reply came.

Kim Chae-eun hurriedly checked the phone she was tightly holding in her hand.

[Jae-hyun] I miss you too. Did you eat breakfast?

Hehe.

As soon as she saw that, Kim Chae-eun smiled like a fool.

Just seeing his name makes her heart flutter, and reading his reply makes her even happier.

A man who was once her closest friend.

Now, her one and only boyfriend who no one else can replace.

It was a morning text from Do Jae-hyun.

[Me] Yes, I ate. What about you Jae-hyun?

[Jae-hyun] I ate too. Im at the training hall right now.

[Me] This early in the morning?

[Jae-hyun] Yeah, I have a lot to practice these days.

So hard-working.

Kim Chae-eun smiled again.

In fact, she would have praised him no matter what he was doing, but Do Jae-hyuns diligence was already well-known in the Holder world.

His exceptional talent that ranks among the best of all time, combined with his unwavering efforts instead of resting on his laurels.

Steady training and constant practice have made him who he is today a story reporters who love making heroes have been telling for a long time.

Too much popularity is also a problem.

Kim Chae-eun thought about her boyfriend.

The most popular Holder in the current Holder world.

Undoubtedly, if asked to name one, it would be Do Jae-hyun.

Including the top 3 domestic clans, numerous clans already want to recruit him, and the association and academies also send him offers.

Interview requests from reporters pour in almost every day.

Organizations want projects with him, and individuals want to be acquainted with him.

It seems even ordinary people like him too.

Perhaps because of his good looks, Do Jae-hyun was also highly popular among regular people.

If you search his name on portals, hundreds of related articles come up, and photos taken who-knows-where circulate online.

Thats not all.

From who knows when

Theres also a Do Jae-hyun fan club with quite a large membership.

Heh. Im a member too.

Of course, Kim Chae-eun was a member.

Her rank was even the highest premium member.

After uploading a few rare photos of Do Jae-hyun that others cant easily get, her rank immediately leveled up.

There are only 5 premium members in the fan club, including the president, and she became an elite member in a short period of time.

In any case, Do Jae-hyun was highly popular not only among Holders but also regular people.

Thats why they keep having to disguise themselves on dates recently.

Incredible.

The more she thinks about it, the more amazing her boyfriend seems.

Hes evaluated as the top domestic prospect and his potential is recognized, and in reality, he already has overwhelming power that would rank him among the top active Holders.

When running the circle <Anti-Villain>, he showed strong leadership, and in the <Villain> eradication operation, he single-handedly blocked monsters while displaying a heroic aspect.

At this point, it would actually be harder for him not to be popular.

And That, hes also good at Kkya-

While mumbling to herself, recounting his deeds

Suddenly, as if embarrassed.

Kim Chae-eun buried her face in the pillow without hesitation.

Do Jae-hyun had one more advantage that people didnt know about.

Its almost been a month already.

But Kim Chae-eun hasnt forgotten that day for a single day, not even for a moment.

The sweet memory of that snowy Christmas night.

Embarrassing but also beautiful, their intimate exchange.

At the time, her mind was blank

But after a day or two, she realized.

That the night they spent together was passionate.

And that she truly became his woman through it.

An extremely personal matter that no one else knows about.

A secret she hasnt been able to tell even Kang Ju-yeon and Moon Ga-eun out of embarrassment

A secret only Kim Chae-eun keeps to herself.

Chae-eun, get ready soon. Lets go.

Huh? What?!

At the knock and her fathers voice, Kim Chae-eun was startled and answered.

Her embarrassing imagination dissipated into the air.

As if she had been caught secretly peeking at something.

Haha. Why are you so surprised?

Ah, its nothing! Ill be right out!

Okay. Ill be in the living room. Take your time coming out.

Today, shes going out with her father.

Its not just to have a meal together after a long time, but also to go to the training hall for the swordsmanship training she had been postponing.

After the day she almost died to the villain Ha Do-kwon, Kim Chae-eun asked her father to teach her swordsmanship.

Not high-level martial arts like [Left-handed Sword Method], but enough to use a sword for self-defense

To compensate for the weakness in close combat that magic-type users like her have.

Unfortunately, there was no time to learn until now.

With her father taking on the role of department head in addition to being a professor, he was busy every day, and Kim Chae-eun herself had no time to spare as she was learning magic from her official master Jeong Seon-young.

But now they have time.

The chaotic incidents have ended, and the vacation has started.

Both her father and herself have free time.

Moreover, the recently hot topic of [Sword] rune acquisition method.

A method the Holder Song Hyun-a claims to have found, Kim Chae-eun wants to try it too.

In fact, going to the training hall is largely for that purpose.

Ah!

Suddenly, Kim Chae-eun clapped her hands.

As she was slowly thinking about todays schedule, something occurred to her.

Then, slightly opening the door, she asked her father in the living room. Dad! Where are we going today?

I said the training hall, didnt I?

Yes.

Were going to the Prime Training Hall. Why, is something up?

No, just wait a bit!

Then she returned to the bed and grabbed her phone.

The content of the message she was writing was obvious.

[Me] Jae-hyun, which training hall are you at right now?

[Jae-hyun] The usual one, what?

[Me] Prime?

[Jae-hyun] Yeah.

Seeing Jae-hyuns immediate reply, Kim Chae-eun smiled.

Hehe. Great.

Shes lucky.

Today is going to be a good day.

She was going to go train in swordsmanship with her dad, but by chance, Jae-hyun is there too.

She can see his face again while shes at it.

The excitement she felt from the morning now felt like she had wings.

What should I wear today?

Kim Chae-euns gaze turned toward her closet and mirror.

Actually, she should wear training clothes.

After all, the purpose of going out today is training.

But even if she changes into them at the training hall, she wanted to look pretty in front of her boyfriend.

Ah, right. I should tell the girls too.

Pondering in front of the dresser, Kim Chae-eun suddenly remembered and grabbed her phone.

Kim Chae-eun, Kang Ju-yeon, and Moon Ga-eun.

A group chat for the three girls.

They share their schedules and plans in this chat so they dont overlap with each other

Somehow, it became more active after the three of them started dating at the same time.

When meeting Do Jae-hyun or making date plans individually, they use this chat to prevent any issues amongst themselves.

Kim Chae-eun meeting Do Jae-hyun today wasnt originally scheduled.

She had to let her friends know.

[Me] Im meeting Jae-hyun today!

[Ga-eun] Huh? Where? I heard Jae-hyun is training today.

Moon Ga-eun happened to be reading the chat, as she replied right away.

Kim Chae-eun smiled and responded.

[Me] Hehe. Were going to the same training hall it seems. Im going for training with Dad today too. We might be able to have lunch together, so you guys be aware!

[Ga-eun] Okeying. Arasso!!

Perhaps by acknowledging and respecting each other, theyve been able to have an open mind.

The three girls all support and cheer for each others relationships with the same man.

It was a very positive relationship that would have been unimaginable when the group chat was first created.

I should let the girls know about that day too.

Kim Chae-eun quietly composed herself.

They had agreed to share everything, and she was also the senior in this aspect.

It might be a bit embarrassing, but

She thought she should tell her friends about that day and give them advice on what she can help with.

Just as she was closing her phone in a warm mood.

Boo-woong-

The group chat notification rang again.

What is it?

She immediately checked the notification.

[Ju-yeon] I also have plans with Jae-hyun next week.

It was Kang Ju-yeon, who hadnt replied earlier.

It seems she just saw the chat and decided to share her schedule too while she was at it.

Kim Chae-eun lightly asked about it.

[Me] What is it?

[Ju-yeon] Im going to Jae-hyuns house. Together with Jae-hyun.

[Me] Oh? Really? Then I might be able to see you guys. Our house is right next door after all.

After sending that reply, Kim Chae-eun suddenly tilted her head.

Has Ju-yeon never been to Jae-hyuns place before?

That thought occurred to her for a moment.

Its been almost a month since the two became a couple

Is it possible she hasnt been to her boyfriends house, even though he lives alone?

Especially when he really enjoys and is good at cooking?

Its not that strange, but she couldnt quite remember, so she was confused.

And then.

After a moment of seeming hesitation with no reply in the group chat

Kang Ju-yeon sent another message.

It was really

A bombshell remark that made Kim Chae-euns mind go blank.

[Ju-yeon] No, not that, Im going to Jae-hyuns parents house We agreed to go together. Jae-hyun said hes going down to his hometown during the vacation..

Huh?

Kim Chae-eun blinked her eyes for a moment.

Did she read that wrong?

Where is she going?

Jae-hyuns parents house.

So that means

The house of his mother and father, who lives in the countryside, whom she has only heard about but never met.

This vixen!

Kim Chae-euns warm and fuzzy feelings began to burn fiercely again, like ice melting.

Kang Ju-yeon, who had been quiet recently.

She was once again quietly rising to the top without anyone knowing.

To be the first to meet her boyfriends parents.

This is really unfair.
