Chapter 188
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 188
As soon as the ‘House Design’ ability appeared, the surrounding scenery instantly became blurry.
In a half-fazed state, I checked the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill and the following appeared.
<Home Sweet Home (A): Provides a home to the skill caster. Active skill. (Current status: ‘???’ Lv. 50)>
The current status column, which contained the number of rooms and the square footage of the number of bathrooms, had been changed to a question mark.
“Is it because we can now design our own houses?”
Previously, the system had been to allow people to arbitrarily move to a better house, but now it meant that Heena could decorate her dream house the way she wanted.
“By the way, the total floor area is 70 pyeong? “What is the total floor area?”
As soon as I muttered, a system window appeared.
It was in doctor mode.
(*Article 119, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Building Act Enforcement Decree)>
“So… whether I build a 70 pyeong on the first floor, a 35 pyeong on the first floor, or a 35 pyeong on the second floor, it all has the same total floor area of 70 pyeong. ?”
As I thought it over and muttered, something similar to a fanfare erupted.
It was a terrible treatment that gave me goosebumps, but I didn’t feel bad at all because a compliment was a compliment.
“Hehe… All kinds of compliments…”
I was embarrassed and laughed for a while before suddenly coming to my senses.
‘ah. ‘This is not the time.’
「Let’s build a house!」
「Upgrade!」
「House manager romance = N-floor house!」
「I was waiting for you!」
Five-colored person standing at his feet was shaking with excitement.
Heena thought for a moment and quickly made up her mind.
No, actually, there was nothing to worry about.
Because there was a wonderful house that I had only dreamed of.
* * *
Heewon opened and closed the front door several times.
“Is this our house?”
When I finished work and opened the door, a completely different scene unfolded than before.
It was Heena who pulled Heewon, who was half frozen.
“Oppa, what are you doing? “Come sit here.”
Heewon was dragged to the living room in a dazed state and flopped down on the sofa.
“Brother Heewon, are you here?”
Kang Jin-hyeon arrived first and welcomed Hee-won. For some reason, his expression seemed especially bright.
However, Heewon was so dazed that she had no time to notice this.
“This isn’t the house I knew?”
“I ranked up on ‘Home Sweet Home.’ “To commemorate the occasion, I changed the structure of the house.”
Heena smiled brightly as if it was no big deal and continued speaking.
“This time, I was able to design the structure of the house as I wanted.”
“Well, it’s already a fraud skill… but what else is there?”
Was the system’s protection given to Hee-won’s younger brother?
The fact that it made the dream of owning one’s own home, which all Koreans long for, come true was also amazing.
Didn’t the size of the house gradually increase as the rank and level increased?
‘Now you can even control the structure of your house to your heart’s content?’
Hee-won’s ability was something I couldn’t envy, but I felt like Hee-na’s ability was much more impressive.
‘I’m sure I have a house, so I don’t have to worry about being out on the street.’
… thought the older brother of a former poor brother and sister who were almost kicked out on the streets for lack of rent.
Just before Hee-won’s eyes became faint as she recalled difficult memories from the past.
“Oppa, look at this.”
Heena held out several pieces of paper in front of Heewon.
It was a house design drawing.
It was amateurish work, so it was clumsy, but it was enough to make out the structure.
A storage room of about 5 pyeong was created in the basement, the first floor was about 45 pyeong, and the second floor was about 20 pyeong.
Although the spacious first floor was the main living space, the second floor was not too narrow, so everything from the kitchen to the living room was put in.
“It was divided into the basement, first floor, and second floor. “We will put miscellaneous things in the basement, my brother and Jinhyeon will stay on the first floor, and I will stay on the second floor.”
“Hey, Jinhyeon is now…!”
“no! Jinhyeon, I won’t leave your room! “I’m going to keep staying at my house!”
Heena quickly cut Heewon off.
“You said we can’t live in one place? “I think that if we don’t live on the same floor, we are far enough apart… Isn’t this a house that fully reflects my opinion and yours?”
We were trying to expand the size of the house to make it feel like we were living in a completely different space even though we were in the same house.
‘But now that we can divide the floors… it’s almost like any other place!’
Heena let out a loud noise.
“I can’t give in any more than this! Jinhyeon is also part of our family! How can I get rid of someone who can’t eat or sleep properly without me? “There is affection between people.”
“Heena…”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes teared up at Heena’s powerful declaration, and Hee-won sighed.
Hearing that he wanted to live away from Kang Jin-hyeon, he upgraded his skills and found a new home.
‘If you’re this passionate, how can you be more against it?’
Heewon shook her head.
I came with such a compromise, but it was funny that people opposed it in one way or another.
There was also a limit to making a fuss about being a biological relative.
Heewon shrugged his shoulders as he looked at his younger brother snoring.
‘okay. ‘I’ll take care of it.’
Since Kang Jin-hyeon also knows the situation, I thought I should stop worrying about it.
“oh my. Surrender is surrender. How can I win over what the landlord says? “Let’s do as you say.”
“Hurray!”
Heena clenched her fists.
Not only was the problem of Kang Jin-hyeon’s residence resolved, but more than anything, I felt like I had completely received my brother’s approval, so my mood skyrocketed.
Hehe, Osaek crawled to the feet of Heena, who was laughing, and stretched out his antennae.
“This is the power of love!”
* * *
[Mr. Jinhyeon: Can I go up?]
There was nothing to worry about. Heena responded willingly.
[sure! Instead, without my brother knowing!]
There was absolutely nothing holding me back.
Because this was just an ordinary invitation!
However….
‘My brother is making such a fuss, so it’s better to come up quietly.’
I didn’t want to wake up Heewon, who had barely managed to sleep.
Not even a few minutes after sending the message, Kang Jin-hyeon came up to the second floor.
“Didn’t your brother find out?”
When asked playfully, Kang Jin-hyeon also playfully rolled his eyes.
“I stood on tiptoe and climbed up carefully.”
It couldn’t have really happened, but imagining it made me burst into laughter.
Heena laughed breathlessly for a while.
“…Ah, this is so funny. “Anyway, it’s a bit thrilling to meet you inside the house without my brother knowing, right?”
It was more fun because I was told not to do something, perhaps because of my tree frog temperament.
Kang Jin-hyeon took a quick look.
“Then can I come up secretly in the future?”
“yes. What’s not to do? “We used to live together!”
Heena responded without much warning.
“Anyway, what’s going on? “I even sent a message.”
“I want to see you.”
Heena’s cheeks turned red at the answer that came out without even a second thought.
“I wanted to see you… Ah, we saw you earlier too.”
“You might still want to see it again.”
Kang Jin-hyeon responded calmly as if he was telling a very obvious truth.
Heena tried to calm her breathing, which was starting to become rough.
‘This is guilty!’
How can a person’s heart be controlled like this?
I don’t know what the crime was, but it was a crime anyway.
While Heena was calculating Kang Jin-Hyeon’s sentence in her mind, he sat a little closer to her.
The two became close enough that their shoulders were pressed together.
My mouth was watering.
‘Just the two of us in a quiet house.’
No, it would have been absurd to say that the two of us were alone, since my brother and Oh Saek were on the first floor… but the house was so quiet that it seemed like only the two of us were left.
Anyway, Heena and Kang Jin-hyeon were alone on this floor.
For some reason, I felt nervous. It wasn’t because I was scared. I was excited.
The skin I touched felt so hot…
‘Oppa, you were right.’
It would be strange for a grown man and woman, or even an adult man and woman in a relationship, to live in the same house and not experience this level of sexual tension.
He was restless and rolled his eyes here and there.
‘Oh what should I do? ‘This is so…’
Heena thought for a moment about how to express this feeling and finally found the words.
‘…It’s so exciting!’
My heart was pounding happily.
‘I guess I’m surprisingly good at dating.’
Heena fanned her hands to cool her flushed cheeks.
Kang Jin-hyeon looked down at that figure with very affectionate eyes.
“Actually, I came because I have something to give you.”
“What can I give you?”
Kang Jin-hyeon took out a small box from his pocket and opened it.
Something twinkled under the fluorescent lights. Heena was embarrassed and stuttered without realizing it.
“What is this?”
“It’s a gift. “I was going to give it to you after the last birthday party, but I missed the opportunity…”
Kang Jin-hyeon hesitated before opening his mouth.
“I’m not as dexterous as Heena, so I couldn’t make it myself. Instead, I entrusted a request to create an item.”
“Ah, the item is a personal order?”
“yes.”
Heena was momentarily speechless at the scale that went beyond her common sense.
