Chapter 36
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 36
Heena knew how to manage basic facial expressions through many years of social life. Then he waved his hand as if nothing was wrong.
“Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon is also human, but he can make mistakes.”
Instead, I asked what I was curious about.
Seeing Kang Jin-hyeon come pouring out coffee made me feel a little closer to him.
“Anyway, why did you do that to the blanket and pillow? “There wasn’t something between the hunters that I didn’t know about, right?”
“no.”
In response to Heena’s question, Jinhyeon Kang spoke clearly. And sighed softly.
‘Ugh.’
Heena clutched her heart in her heart.
The handsome man’s sigh had something that touched the heart. It was very nice to see.
Jinhyeon Kang slowly opened his mouth, not knowing what the woman sitting next to him was thinking.
“…I tend to have trouble controlling my strength when I am overly tense or overly relaxed.”
“Strength control?”
“yes. That’s right. “I really wanted to help you make the bed, but I guess I gave in to it without realizing it because I wanted to look good to Heena.”
Heena laughed awkwardly. I felt like I heard something loud.
“Do you want to look good to me?”
“I wanted to gain humane favor from Heena.”
Heena opened her eyes wide.
“why?”
“I want to have you as my personal chef.”
“aha.”
Now I finally understand Kang Jin-hyeon’s strange behavior.
‘I guess that 5-tier lunch box was huge.’
Heena looked at the S-class hunter who confessed that she got nervous in front of her because she wanted to eat her food so much.
“But making the bed is my job, so you don’t have to help. And Hunter Jin-Hyeon Kang was well liked by me.”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes sparkled.
“Is that so?”
“sure. First of all, you are Hunter Jinhyeon Kang. Is there anyone in Korea who doesn’t like S-class hunter Kang Jin-hyeon? Plus, personally, you helped me in the dungeon and saved my brother. “He even pretended not to notice my mistake and covered it up, so I couldn’t be more thankful to him.”
Heena used all the words she had to praise Kang Jin-hyeon.
“So are you accepting my offer? “Would you please sign on as my exclusive chef?”
Kang Jin-hyeon was ready to kneel down immediately. Heena waved her hand in a panic.
“No, no. That’s not what I’m saying. “I wanted to tell you that I didn’t refuse the offer because I didn’t like Hunter Jinhyeon Kang.”
“Then why did you refuse? “Didn’t you promise me better treatment?”
Heena was sweating profusely. This was a bit difficult to answer.
“Should I say that it’s such great luck that it’s a bit scary to pick it up? “There is such a thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“So, I had no doubts that I would go to work and live like everyone else, but suddenly a fairy godmother appears and promises me a fancy pumpkin carriage and glass slippers? Um…”
“Yes?”
“That’s why it feels that way to me when a great person named Hunter Jinhyeon Kang suddenly offers great treatment.”
Kang Jin-hyeon asked as if he was truly puzzled.
“Then isn’t that a good thing?”
“But the pumpkin carriage and dress are gone after 12 o’clock.”
“My proposal is not a fairy tale pumpkin carriage. “It doesn’t go away.”
It seemed like the question and answer with Kang Jin-hyeon would never end if things continued like this, so Hee-na ended up telling her what was on her mind.
“But I like a full-time job employed by a company of a certain size. Other things can disappear at any time. “To go under the umbrella of a sole proprietor in a situation where even a decent company could disappear in an instant…”
Heena trembled as she remembered her previous company, which was a hell of overtime work.
It wasn’t a good company, but it was still a good company. Who would have thought that it would disappear completely overnight?
Losing her job for a moment was quite a trauma for Heena, who is an extreme safety freak.
In any case, even such a stable regular job was unstable.
‘So how unstable would it be to work for a sole proprietor or as a freelancer?’
Heena wanted to live as long, thin, and peaceful as possible. I was too scared to bite just because I saw a big bait.
“Then I guess you’re rejecting my offer.”
Kang Jin-hyeon spoke in a very disappointed voice.
“That’s not true, I need to think about it a little more…?”
Of course, even in Heena’s opinion, this was a huge opportunity. It made no sense to throw this opportunity away. A desire for money suddenly emerged and he begged me to accept the offer right away.
However, a safety fan’s intuition and 45-pound luck caught Heena.
‘If you get tangled up with that person, you’ll be 100 million light years away from normal!’
And in general, Heena’s instinct to stand close in such an extreme situation(?) was quite reliable.
Additionally, my employer threw away my blanket and pillow just because I was nervous, which was a bit of a problem.
Kang Jin-hyeon’s action to gain Hee-na’s favor unfortunately ended up receiving a negative score.
Heena groaned as she struggled between material desires and intuition.
“I’m sorry, but I need some more time to think. “It’s only been a few days since you last said it.”
“How much time do you need?”
“…one month?”
This is something I need to think about 1,000 times, but I haven’t even thought about it 100 times yet.
If I were to think about it 33 times a day for the next month, I would be able to fill it roughly 1,000 times, so I needed at least a month to spare.
“Your thoughts are still the same.”
Kang Jin-hyeon sighed. Then, I looked down at the remaining sip of coffee and fell into thought.
I was just about to get my butt itchy from the awkward silence. Kang Jin-hyeon suddenly lifted his head and looked at Hee-na intently.
“Why are you doing this?”
It was a very burdensome look. His black eyes were burning with enthusiasm.
“If you don’t feel comfortable getting hired under me right away, how about a side job?”
“A side job?”
“Sell me your lunch box.”
Jinhyeon Kang explained the alternative step by step.
Since Heena wanted a stable job, there was no need to quit the Blue Dragon Guild she was currently attending.
Instead, he was told to pack lunches a few times a week or a month and sell them to himself.
“Please don’t tell me that even this can’t be done.”
Heena looked at Kang Jin-hyeon with pitiful eyes.
‘How long must I eat poorly before becoming an S-class hunter and begging me like this?’
In any case, nothing stimulates the Korean mind like not being able to eat. Heena was lost in thought for a moment, then nodded willingly.
“Then sometimes, when I bring my own lunch box, I’ll also prepare Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon’s as well.”
“Is that true?”
“That’s it.”
The sight of Kang Jin-hyeon not being able to eat stimulated Heena’s emotions. So Heena decided to show human kindness.
“If you really want to give me money, just give me the cost of the materials.”
Packing a lunch box was a bit of work, but it wasn’t something I couldn’t do.
When I thought about it, Heena owed Jinhyeon Kang a lot.
‘He’s the one who saved my brother.’
To Hee-na, the life of her older brother, Hee-won, was worth more than a few lunch boxes. If you think of it as repaying a favor, it’s not a bad business at all, just a little bit of hard work.
Additionally, most workplaces prohibited concurrent employment. Hee-na did not want to mess things up by taking money from Kang Jin-hyeon.
When I pointed out that part, Kang Jin-hyeon suddenly called somewhere. And he ended the call so quickly that Heena couldn’t understand.
“It’s a concurrent job.”
“yes?”
“I asked. “They say there is no such thing in the internal regulations.”
In the meantime, it seemed like he called the company and asked about the internal rules. The driving force he showed in front of Bob was like a bulldozer.
“And it doesn’t make sense to eat Heena’s food for free. My pride won’t allow it. “I will pay a lot of money.”
At the same time, they proposed 5 million won per case. The price was ridiculously high for the value of a meal.
“omg.”
To Hee-na’s astonishment, Kang Jin-hyeon muttered and shook his head.
“As expected, it’s too low. So should I make it 10 million won? Of course, more is possible.”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s love of food and economics were greater than expected.

“…So what happened?”
Heewon swallowed his saliva and asked. This is because the story my younger brother told was very interesting.
“hurry! “Hurry up!”
Osaek, who had been pretending not to be interested, urged Heena as if he was secretly curious.
“What would you have done? Isn’t that something we need to think about carefully? “Lunch time was almost over, so I asked for some time to think and left.”
“what? “They give you 10 million won for a meal, so why should you worry more?”
Heewon straightened his body that had been stretched out towards Heena and clicked his tongue.
This is like looking at the lottery winnings right in front of you and thinking, ‘I’ll think more about whether I can accept this.’ It was the same as saying that.
“Honestly, I don’t understand you. If you’re so worried about your livelihood, why do you turn down a job that will bring you a lot of money? A few tens of millions of won would not be money to Hunter Kang. “If it were me, I would give it a try first.”
At her brother’s point, Heena sighed and shook her head.
“Oh, I don’t know. If you were in my situation, you would understand. “I was very embarrassed.”
“Yes, I know that Lee Hee-na is timid.”
Heena sharply retorted to Heewon’s sarcasm.
“Because it’s prudent! Unlike so-and-so, who follows me wherever I go just because I’m being given money!”
The siblings argued like that for a while.
「Five colors = pursuit of peace and harmony.」
The snail soon lost interest and went into the shell house. It was then.
Fit!
The light that had been lighting up the house lost its light for a moment.
