Read the author notes

...

I forgot to properly look through my memories after I got them, How did I make such a mistake?

I turned my head and said with a slight smile.

"Hello, Jin-ah and Jin-woo. I am going outside to eat. where are you going?"

"Ah, Oppa and I are going to eat outside as well. Haru Oppa do you want to come as well?" Jin-ah said smiling cheerfully.

"Yes, why don't you come with us," Jin-woo spoke agreeing with Jin-ah.

"Of course let's go," I said normally and we started walking like normal we went out of the building. Towards one of the pork belly shops following Jin-woo on the left Jin-ah in the middle and me on the right.

To say we were the center of attention was an understatement. Pretty much everyone was looking at us.

"Hey look at them what do think their relationship is?"

"I would kill to be between those hotties."

"How lucky of her to be with those two. I like the one on the right."

"Me too"

"Yes, yes."

"I like the one on the left. But the right one is a hottie as well are they idols or something."

Jin-woo and I both sighed at the same time, this is new to him but it was a common sight to me.

"Both of you are popular, especially Haru Oppa?" Jin-ah said teasingly.

I just pulled her cheeks.

"Don't tease me, alright."

"AHHHH sorry sorry. it Hurts" She cried.

I released her and she started grumbling about me being unfair with her cheeks a bit red.

'Did I pinch her a bit too hard?'

Jin-woo was laughing on the side.

"Did I pull your cheeks a bit too hard?" I said patting her head and smiling gently.

Her cheeks became redder as she moved my hand off her head and looked away.

'Hmm, what's going on why is Jin-woo looking at me with a complicated expression.' I thought as I looked at him. And tilted my head to the side.

Jin-woo just looked away

'Ah well, whatever,' I thought as we reached the pork belly shop.

…..

While we were eating Jin-ah said.

"Haru Oppa are you going to go for rank evaluation the day after tomorrow." She asked a bit nervous.

Jin-woo was also looking at me.

"Yes, I will go the day after tomorrow," I said to Jin-ah and Jin-woo.

"Oppa you know how dangerous the job is you should say something," Jin-ah said worriedly to Jin-woo.

"It's just evaluation, if he isn't strong enough I won't let him go anywhere near the dungeon." He said seriously while eating.

"You're the last person I want to hear that from," I said.

COUGH* COUGH*

Jin-woo choked on the food.

"AHAHA, That's right." Jin-ah was laughing.

I gave Jin-woo a glass of water. I don't want to imagine Ashborn's face when he sees the person he chose to fight the monarch die while choking on food.

'On second thought I think it will be quite the scene.'

Jin-woo gulped the whole glass of water and looked at me angrily.

I only smiled back at him as if saying 'did I say something wrong?'

He just looked away. Because he knows the best that it's the truth.

Even though it wasn't as bad as in the novel, we both trained in swordsmanship together. Or more like I taught him. So he was in much better shape than before. From the memories I have when my past self went to visit him after the double dungeon incident, I punched him in the face after Jin-ah left.

Although, he is older than me we don't act like that as we have known each other since our childhood. 10 years ago Jin-woo's father went missing my parents helped Jin-woo's mother with what they could.

They were friends so they helped each other, 4 years after that my parents passed away in a dungeon incident. Aunt Kyung-hye helped me a lot. And 2 years after that aunt Kyung-hye fell into eternal slumber.

We were devastated at that time but I and Jin-woo couldn't drown in sorrow so we both worked to provide help to each other. it wasn't easy as Jin-woo took the path of hunter even while being E-rank and I worked part-time and gathered money.

There were times when raids didn't go well for Jin-woo or he was in the hospital and wasn't able to make enough money to support aunt's medical bills. So I helped him during those times.

Jin-woo and Jin-ah are akin to my siblings to me. In this world. I do feel the same affection for them because of the memories. Or have I always wanted siblings? I don't know what it is but it's fine, isn't it? I'll cherish what I have.

"Don't worry, I won't create a problem like a certain someone. If I can't become a hunter I won't do it." I said smiling while looking at Jin-woo, I gave Jin-ah some pork belly that I cooked.

"Do you have to bring it up all the time?" Jin-woo said as he smiled bitterly. And we continued eating and talking.

And on our way back home we talked a little about what we were doing and minor things.

I went back to my unit after saying bye to both Jin-ah and Jin-woo.

After entering my house I sat on the sofa and started thinking.

So, he has gotten the shadow monarch class. Next is going to be the red gate incident. He said that he will be home today means it will be tomorrow after he comes back from the meeting with Jin-ah's teacher.

Ok, let's train now and I have to control all of my power as soon as possible.

With this, the space around me changed again and I was standing in the middle of the forest again.

Jin-woo pov:

After coming back home and going to my room I was thinking.

'I feel that Haru has become strong but I can't see through it.'

I only felt it today as this feeling wasn't there for the past 2 months did he awaken is that why he is going for an evaluation?

'Well, I don't have to worry about him, he has always been smart if he is doing something. it always has a reason behind it.' I thought.

"Oppa don't forget you have to come to my school tomorrow." I heard Jin-ah's voice.

"Yes, yes go to sleep now," I said as I summoned an item from my inventory it was a key that I got after defeating the gatekeeper.

'I have to become more powerful to protect my family.' With those thoughts, I went to sleep.

??? POV

"Interesting that boy is interesting." Said the black armor in darkness as it opened its eyes while thinking about the red-haired boy.

"Show me that I didn't make a mistake choosing you." I voice said while thinking of Sung Jin-woo before closing its eyes again.
