I wanted/needed to make a character study of both of them. I am starting to write about them so I really needed to give them some insight.
Jin-Woo was aware that since it was revealed that he was one of the new S-rank hunters in Korea and after some of the most important hunters saw him fight against the Orc King, he was beginning to cause interest both in the media and by some hunters and guilds.
But the last thing he expected was that the most popular female S-rank hunter would ask him to join his new guild. That was something he did not expect.
The conversation at first was strange, it seemed like Hae-In was hiding something. Jin-Woo could see the lack of social skills she had by the little eye contact she kept with him. Although he was the least likely to judge, after having always been a quiet boy, with hardly any friends, and who only liked to spend his free time locked up in his house.
Since he had started being a player, his free time had been compressed, and he could no longer spend so much time at home with his sister, and now, with his mother. How he had dreamed of that; of coming home and finding his two favorite women there waiting for him. Just thinking about that made him feel a warm sensation in his chest.
But there she was, Hae-In, one of the best hunters in Korea asking him with blushing cheeks that she wanted to join his guild.
But why?
The first thing that came to his mind, as a young man with little experience in relationships, both social and romantically, was that something was up. Perhaps her interest in joining his guild was simply to pass information to the Hunters' Guild, or even to the Association itself, so she would give them intel about him.
Little did he know that the young hunter's interest was more feminine than anything else.
Hae-In, for her part, had grown up being a popular girl, with constant requests for dates, and constant admirers since her rank became public. But she had always had a very disciplined upbringing.
Since she was little, her parents had raised her to be the perfect girl, with top grades in high school, a scholarship as track athlete, and also the best in swimming. She always had to improve herself, not only with grades and sports, but also with her image. Her mother constantly bombarded her with criticism for her long hair and her clothes.
"You should cut those long hair. Shorter hair is more elegant."
"You should dress tighter and show off those womanly curves, and stop wearing so many pants, and go for dresses."
"Don't eat so much."
"Eat more"
"Put on less makeup"
"Put on more makeup."
It was a constant damn bombardment of criticism.
Until she became S-rank and was able to obtain the independence she had always wanted. She could dress as she liked, and wear the right makeup. Although she kept her hair short, because as a hunter, it was more comfortable.
And that's how Hae-In grew up, in a family that stifled her to be the perfect girl, even her mother pestered her with the subject of "boyfriends."
"The son of your father's boss has shown interest in you. You should try going out to eat with him one of these days."
"Why don't you accept the date of that handsome young man who walked you home?"
"If you don't get a boyfriend soon, you'll grow old, lonely and bitter."
So Hae-In's little rebellion had always been to contradict her mother; not with the most obvious thing of her physical appearance and her grades, but she at least gave herself the pleasure of rejecting dates and love interests that her mother constantly sent her way.
But since she saw Jin-Woo, things were different. Above all, for the most interesting reason that had caught her attention. He smelleddiverse.
Since her awakening, one of the skills she had acquired was the sensitivity of smell to mana. So everything that contained mana, both hunters and dungeon monsters, was repulsive to her.
Until she met him, not only did he smell different, but he also smelledgood. And she was even more surprised when the news came out that he was an S-rank. How could it be?
The constant encounters she had had with him had transmitted a series of sensations to her that no one had ever transmitted. With him she felt safe, calm and comfortable. Everything a woman could look for, right?
But, above all, his smell enveloped her like a layer of protection. Everything about him transmitted serenity. But, even though Hae-In was a young woman with little experience with the male gender, she was quite aware of how attractive he was.
She knew that thinking like that was very superficial, but it was more than evident that Jin-Woo was attractive, with a big and strong body. She just wanted to be by his side, it was such a childish feeling, and yet there was such a primeval attraction that all she wanted was to be with him.
So going there and telling him that she wanted to join his guild was the most daring thing she had ever done. She felt stupid, and vulnerable. She had always avoided interactions with the opposite sex because she never wanted to show interest, but this time it was different. Because he was different.
His dark blue eyes stared at her with interest and some suspicion. She was nervous, having him so close made her heart beat faster, she felt a little sweat forming on her temples, swallowing nervously.
She knew perfectly well that he was studying all her gestures and physiological reactions, because he didn't trust her. Or at least that's what it seemed like.
"To enter the Solo Play guild you must face and defeat my most powerful shadow" after their conversation, in the end it seemed that Jin-Woo had made a decision, his features remained serious, observing every gesture and reaction she could make.
Solo Play Guild?Hae-In thought to herself. That name seemed strange to her, but she didn't care about that if she ended up being close to him.
"Okay," she accepted without thinking twice. Jin-Woo watched her arching an eyebrow, and simply stood up determinedly.
"Okay, let's go," it was decided, Hae-In would face one of his shadows. Although he knew that he had said that what she had to do was beat his most powerful shadow, he did not want to cause her any discomfort, so he had thought that the best opponent would be Igris for her.
Hae-In was nervous, she knew perfectly well what Jin-Woo's most powerful shadow was, and in fact she wanted to face him. The last time she had almost lost her life because of him, and she needed to measure the strength and power that creature had.
But Jin-Woo had other plans for her. The shadow that came out was a knight, big, a little taller than him, elegant and with an imperious sovereignty. Hae-In knew that she could fight him. And so she proved it.
"Why didn't you bring him out?" she asked, irritated with a frown.Was he underestimating her?That thought bothered her, how could he underestimate the best female hunter in Korea? She noticed how Jin-Woo's body tensed.
"I thought that maybe it could affect you..." he hesitated trying to give her an explanation.
"Do it," she cut him off with a stern voice, and a frown. Jin-Woo had never seen her like that, with such determination, so he did it.
.
.
.
The fight with Beru was not as expected, clearly Jin-Woo knew that the difference between the two opponents was abysmal, so Hae-In realized that what he was actually doing was protecting her.
That thought irritated her and at the same time made her feel good. But a part of her, her pride as a hunter, was bothered that he was underestimating her. So she had an impulsive thought, which was more than what she said.
"Fight me," she answered seriously with a fixed gaze.
Jin-Woo studied her reaction, more than interested now she showed stubbornness. Apparently the hunter Hae-In did not like to lose, and that amused him.
"Are you sure? You've seen me fight..." he wasn't quite sure about it, but he could adapt the fight for her, although the intention here was for her to win to enter his guild, but he wasn't going to allow it. Hae-In was more valuable in the Hunters' Guild, in his guild she would leave all her potential to waste.
"Come on, or are you afraid of hurting a girl?" she replied mockingly, tilting her head slightly.
Jin-Woo let out a chuckle, he was starting to like the idea of fighting her, but as a kind of entertainment. He wanted to assess and know for himself the skills that the best female S-rank hunter had.
"No, not at all..." he replied, looking away, lowering his guard, when he suddenly noticed something approaching his periphery which he was able to stop without any effort, for him her blows were slow.
She continued to attack him, with her light and graceful blows. She fought with total elegance, living up to her title as "The Dancer". He noticed the amount of mana emanating from her body, small and thin, but strong and agile.
Her gaze was fixed on him, her eyes calculating his next moves, but she realized that all he was doing was blocking her blows. He was tiring her, he was so powerful that he didn't need to attack, just by tiring her the fight was won.
It irritated her that he didn't even try to defend himself. She wanted him to try to hit her.Was he afraid of hurting me?Her anger was turning into the mana power that her body kept at bay, trying to bring out all its potential to at least touch him. But it was impossible.
Until he blocked her completely by pushing her to the ground, holding her two wrists with one hand above her head, and locking her legs with his hips, feeling his warm and strong body on hers.Fuck.
His dark blue eyes looked at her amused, drawing a smirk on his lips showing some enjoyment.
"I think that's enough," he said in a tone of voice that conveyed authority. Hae-In let out a grunt wanting him to let go of her, but he tightened his grip on her wrists. "Will you stay still?" She looked at him with a frown, surprised at how close his face was to hers. She simply nodded her head without being able to articulate any words. "Are you going to tell me why you are so interested in joining my guild?"
Hae-In didn't really know why either. Actually she knew, but she couldn't rationalize it, much less put it into words and say it to him. She felt so stupid, like a teenager in love with the quarterback in an American movie.
"Are you not going to answer me?" he asked seriously looking at her while she looked away from him, "Maybe… is it that you are interested in me?" Jin-Woo found that question stupid, but he didn't know how to justify her behavior anymore. It was strange that she was so interested in joining the guild when she was the Vice-Guild Master. It made no sense that she wanted to join a new guild without any fame other than his.
Hae-In looked at him with her eyes wide open, surprised by the words he had just spoken.Was it so obvious?She wondered. She had tried to hide her feelings, although for now it was a simple attraction, she didn't really know where to direct and fit all that. Her complexion turned reddish, Jin-Woo found it adorable,but... seems it's not that either,he thought to himself.
"Yes…" she hesitated and continued "I think so." She answered embarrassed, she didn't lose anything saying it. And it wasn't a lie either. But much less, she knew where she had gotten that courage to declare and confess her new feelings for him.
That surprised him, changing his expression from serenity to astonishment.Is this beautiful woman really interested in me?Jin-Woo was not an idiot, and he was not blind either. Hae-In was beautiful, she had a perfect body that any man could dream of. And, fuck, he had her there under his body surrendered to his mercy. The temptation was considerable.
Although Jin-Woo had very little experience with women, he thought that this was the moment of, well, what does it matter. He was a man and she was a woman who had just confessed her interest in him, they were both alone, and…
They both looked at each other, Hae-In was immersed in sudden regret for having uttered those words, afraid of what he would think of her. And he was simply thinking of taking advantage of that opportunity that she was offering him.
When she noticed his lips on hers, she was shocked by being paralyzed without knowing how to react. She quickly noticed how the grip on her wrists had gradually loosened, feeling her body relax under his.
The kiss at first was slow and clumsy, until Jin-Woo claimed all of her, making her let out a small moan as they deepened the kiss, and now he didn't hold her by the wrists, his hands explored greedily every curve of her body. She placed her delicate hands on his dark, raven hair, and always unruly.God, how she had longed to touch it.
That was new for both of them, but they didn't know it. Hae-In could think that he did this with each of the women who had declared their love to him. And he could think that she always got the man she wanted with that body.
At first, he touched her timidly, unsure how far she wanted to go. His touch was gentle, trying to memorize every trace of her skin. Hae-In arched her back in search of his touch, rubbing her center against his bulge, letting out a moan at their contact.
Her small hands hovered timidly over the hem of his shirt, revealing her lack of experience in that area. But they both were.
After recognizing her desperation to feel his touch, Jin-Woo looked at her pleadingly as he slowly lifted her shirt. And she nodded giving him permission to do so. She felt the touch of the cold gym floor against her back, so she held on tightly to him, seeking his warm touch and intoxicating scent.
Jin-Woo began to attack her delicate neck, later leaving marks on her collarbone and the mounds of her breasts.
"Touch me," he whispered in her ear with a raspy, commanding voice.
It resonated throughout her body, sending shivers down her spine as she felt his breath against her ear, letting out another moan. Jin-Woo was surprised at how little he could do to provoke all of that.
She was so overstimulated that any contact with his fingers and lips was overwhelming.
Without a second thought, she slipped both hands under his shirt, feeling his firm, strong chest. His kisses grew more urgent, as did his touch.
Gently, he unclasped her bra, freeing her firm breasts. At the sight of them, he gave them all the attention he thought they deserved, pinching a nipple with one hand while tasting the other, teasing it with his tongue.
Hae-In couldn't bear all the sensations accompanied by his inebriate scent, so she let out another moan, this time more intense at his touch. Jin-Woo let out a guttural growl as he gently lowered his other hand to her hips, squeezing them possessively, as if claiming that she was all his, now and forever. This caused Hae-In to arch her entire body again, releasing a cry of pleasure.
Hae-In's slender fingers searched for the small buttons on Jin-Woo's now wrinkled white shirt. He helped her unbutton it until it was completely off, leaving it abandoned next to Hae-In's T-shirt.
His attention was now focused more on her lower body. Without waiting for any permission, he began to unbutton her pants, which she hurriedly helped him take off, leaving her there almost naked in front of him.
She timidly looked away; she felt so small and vulnerable, yet so desired by him at the same time, which made her feel an electric heat run through her insides as she watched him devour her with his gaze.
"You're beautiful, did you know that?" he said almost deliriously while tentatively playing with the edges of her panties. She continued to avoid his gaze, placing both hands over her face to hide the crimson color of her embarrassment. "Look at me," his voice was deep, and once again she felt that authoritarian tone that made her reluctant to obey his orders.
She revealed her face to him, placing both arms at her side, and their gazes met.
In that moment, she could feel all the primal desire he had for her in his gaze; she had never felt this way, as if she were prey and he the predator. That sensation almost made her moan at the intensity of his gaze.
Her hands searched his face, caressing his cheeks. At their touch, he closed his eyes, allowing himself to be carried away by her touch as his hand covered hers.
That moment, which passed in seconds but seemed like an eternity, was the calm before the explosion that was about to happen.
His tenderness transformed into lust. So when he opened his eyes, she noticed a small blue gleam in his eyes that lasted seconds but brought her back to the edge of the abyss.
At the gentle touch of the butterfly kisses she felt on her inner thighs, Hae-In closed her eyes and let out another moan. His kisses were delicate, his touch rough, feeling his devotion all over her.
First, he touched her over her underwear, noticing how wet she was.
"Fuck, you're all soaked," he let out a harsh growl. "Is this all for me, huh?" he asked without seeking an answer as he roughly removed her panties.
Even though this was all new to him, he didn't understand where he was getting all this brutal desire from. He let himself be carried away by his instinct.
Harshly, he inserted a finger inside her, feeling her wet and warm insides, as he felt his erection harden further in anticipation of what it would be like to be inside her. But it wasn't enough for him; without letting her get used to it, he inserted a second finger, making her let out a desperate cry. He began to finger-fuck her violently, following her physiological reactions, watching how she was enjoying it.
A wicked smile appeared on his face, unable to wait to be inside her.Damn it, it was fucking torture to feel her with his fingers. But first, he wanted her to finish, so with his thumb, he began rubbing her clit, seeking more lewd sounds.
Hae-In couldn't contain her constant moans from the constant overstimulation, feeling the orgasm building through her body like electric spasms. He continued finger-fucking her incisively, feeling his entire hand wet with all her juice, watching as Hae-In writhed in pleasure beneath him until she finally let out a desperate cry of pleasure.
He continued rubbing her clit making her come once again, and again, until she all dejected begged him to stop. She felt exhausted, her mind clouded by the intoxicating sensation of her multiple orgasms and his touch. She needed to feel his body, warm and hard against her; his essence surrounded her in such a way that she felt almost dizzy, as if her mind were in another dimension and her body was there in the earthly world for him.
"Jin-Woo..." she whispered almost voicelessly.
She felt weak, her eyelids drooping, as if they weighed her down from the intense pleasure she felt throughout her entire being. Her arms tried to reach him, searching for him as if he were the anchor that kept her sane and present. He was everything she desired, needed, and wanted. His lips continued to devour every part of her skin, worshipping every inch of her body, as if she were a goddess. But to her, he was everything; he'd conquered her without even exchanging words. Everything she felt for him was so irrational that even she couldn't understand it, and there she was, giving herself to him because she wanted it and desired it, as if she were an offering to the gods.
Eager to feel her wrapped around him, he removed his pants along with his underwear, freeing his pulsing length, yearning to feel the friction. Hae-In barely realized what he was doing until she felt him caressing her folds with it, causing her to let out a gasp of anticipation.
She craved the feeling of him inside her as much as he did, so he didn't give her a moment to think about it as he slowly sank inside her, stretching all her insides. Jin-Woo breathed a sigh of relief; she was a delight all over him, noticing how tight she was, and warm, so warm. Such was the sensation that he had to maintain himself so he wouldn't cum at that precise moment of the glorious feeling of being inside her.
Hae-In let out a small cry as she felt herself filled with him; he was big, and she was so inexperienced that she would never have thought something like that could fit in her. The sensation was unfamiliar; she had never felt anything like that.
He thrusted hard, seeking his selfish release. He fucked her relentlessly, pushing his hips hard against hers. Hae-In could barely utter a sound from such a sensation, keeping her mouth half open and letting herself be carried away by the heavenly sensations of him.
He wrapped his hand around her slender neck, squeezing impulsively with the need to feel the obsessive sensation that she was at his mercy. His thrusts against her were frantic, so strong it seemed he was going to break her. His hand remained firm on her throat, his gaze boring into hers possessively, as if he were claiming her body and soul.
Jin-Woo flipped her around, changing positions. This time Hae-In was sitting on his lap, he remaining still inside her. This position made her feel him even deeper inside her.
"Ride me," he whispered against her skin while his hands caressed her body, placing small, sweet kisses on her neck. Hae-In felt so overwhelmed that her legs barely had any strength, so she very slowly began to move on him, until the movements began to become faster, seeking pleasure for both of them.
Hae-In arched her back, holding herself against his legs, and he held her by the waist while he devoured her breasts, both of them listening only to their pants and fluids of their bodies.
Impatiently, Jin-Woo shifted his position again. Once again, Hae-in's back touched the cold ground, this time feeling the friction of her back against the floor due to his constant, rough movements.
She could no longer sustain all those sensations. She felt another orgasm building, once again, at the sensation of his cock's constant touch on the sweet spot inside her. Hae-In didn't know if she was screaming in pleasure or pain; the threshold between the two sensations was so fine that it all overwhelmed her.
Jin-Woo tried to contain himself; feeling her squeezing him, that delicious sensation was almost making him cum, until he felt her explosive orgasm course through his cock along with a desperate scream, and he released his entire essence inside her, filling all her insides. In that moment, he felt the sensation that she was his, a feeling so possessive and primal of belonging that he didn't quite know how to fit it into his own schemes.
He wrapped his strong arms around her, pulling her towards him, feeling her small body tremble with exhaustion. His touch was sweet; he kissed her softly as if he were making up for his rough treatment of her. Hae-In relaxed under his gentle touch, feeling protected by him.
"So... Can I join your guild?" Hae-In asked teasingly, caressing his arm that was around her waist. Jin-Woo chuckled against her skin.
"I'm afraid not. I think I won," he replied, amused.
"Do you think so?" she said, arching a thin eyebrow as she turned her face to meet his gaze. Jin-Woo was smiling, looking relaxed and happy.
"Actually, I think we both won," he replied, placing a sweet kiss on her forehead.
They both knew that where they were, someone could appear at any moment, so they had to hurry and gather their things. But first, they both savored the moment of peace they had built, knowing that what just happened was not casual. Unwittingly, they had begun a journey that would last for years, almost a century, where their love would transcend time and space.
A/N: I had to cut some scenes because I didn't want to make the story too long, so I wanted to get straight to the point 😏
I am trying to make myself more comfortable writing about them. So... please be patient and give me time! hehe
Hope you all enjoyed it!
Thanks for reading ❤️
