## Chapter 252 – Side Story 11 – Resort Date With in-Yeong (1)
***
Si-yoon was now only two people away from impregnating everyone in the hideout.
“8:24… I’ve gotten used to waking up around this time on my own.”
He seemed to know the perfect time to wake up these days, rising neither too late nor too early.
“In-yeong is probably still fast asleep.”
In-yeong was one of the biggest sleepers in the hideout, along with Chae-ryeong.
According to Chae-ri, even during her S-class hero days, it was almost concerning how bad her lifestyle habits were, not to mention her lack of exercise or diet control, and her strong appetite.
It was a mystery how she maintained such a healthy and beautiful figure.
“I should wash up first… then slowly go wake her up….”
Si-yoon entered the small bathroom in the room, lightly splashed cold water on his face, and after wiping it off with a towel, prepared something on his smartphone.
Then, he opened the door and went to In-yeong’s room nearby, confirming that she was still sound asleep under the covers.
“I knew it… she’d be sleeping.”
In-yeong was sleeping soundly with a peaceful expression, completely unaware of the time.
Si-yoon brought his smartphone close to In-yeong’s face, turned up the volume, and pressed the play button on the video displayed on the screen.
“Woohehehehehehehehahahaha!!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaak!?!!”
The eerie and grotesque sound of a ghostly laugh echoed in her ears, startling In-yeong, who seemed impossible to wake, and she shot up from the bed.
“Kkeueueue…!”
Despite her impressive achievements as an S-class hero and her cool appearance, In-yeong was quite sensitive to scary things, unable to even touch horror movies or games.
“You wouldn’t wake up at this hour otherwise.”
In-yeong glared at him, clenching her teeth at Si-yoon’s sudden prank, but couldn’t argue with the fact that she wouldn’t have woken up if he hadn’t done that.
“I can wake up on my own if you just wake me up normally….”
In-yeong grumbled at Si-yoon’s unexpected playful trick, but a faint smile appeared on her lips, as if she was happy that he had come to wake her up.
“So… where are we going for our date today?”
“…Here.”
In-yeong searched on her smartphone and showed Si-yoon the location for their date.
It was a place with leisure facilities like swimming pools and ski resorts, as well as cultural facilities like casinos and concert halls, and top-notch accommodations.
“At this distance… it looks like it’ll take at least two or three hours to get there.”
“You don’t have to worry about driving for over two hours. I looked at the distance and booked high-speed train tickets to get near the resort.”
She swiped the screen with the resort photos to reveal a picture of two round-trip high-speed train tickets.
Knowing that driving from the hideout to the resort was impossible from the start, In-yeong had booked the tickets for a fast and comfortable trip to their destination.
“I’ve taken the subway a lot, but I’ve never been on a high-speed train before.”
“Me neither… this is my first time riding one with Master.”
It seemed like it was both of their first times on a high-speed train.
Si-yoon had only occasionally taken the subway before joining Dark Knights, and In-yeong hadn’t had a reason to ride one since she started her hero activities.
“Then… what time did you book the tickets for?”
“I booked the one that leaves at 9:20 and arrives at 10:30.”
The current time was 8:44, and they hadn’t even started getting ready yet.
Considering the distance to the station they needed to go to catch the train, it was obvious that they would be late if they didn’t hurry up and get ready.
“Hurry… hurry and get ready! We’re going to be late!”
“Ugh… uaaaaah!”
***
Si-yoon and In-yeong hurriedly finished getting ready and rushed to the train station.
“Huff… huff… we almost… missed it….”
“If I hadn’t woken you up quickly… we would have definitely missed the train….”
They barely arrived 10 minutes before the train’s departure, sat down in their seats, and breathed a sigh of relief that they weren’t late.
“I definitely set multiple alarms for 7:30, spaced 5 minutes apart…, but I guess it’s because I’m not used to waking up early.”
“Well… whatever, as long as we made it on time, that’s all that matters.”
While barely catching their breath from running to the train station, an announcement began playing inside the high-speed train, and the train slowly started moving.
“Then, let’s watch something fun together on the way.”
Si-yoon took off his coat, unfolded the small table attached to the seat in front of him, and placed his smartphone on it to play a fun video.
Then, he put one wireless earphone in his ear and gave the other one to In-yeong so they could listen together.
“Ah… ahaha….”
However, In-yeong only slightly turned her gaze towards the video with the earphone in, and remained stiff with a slightly flushed face, as if she was uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”
Worried that she might be tired or in pain from waking up too early, Si-yoon paused the video and turned to ask.
“Ah…! It’s nothing….”
The reason why In-yeong was glancing around uncomfortably.
It was because she had rarely been this close to Si-yoon alone, and the very idea of going on a date was making her nervous and excited.
“Could it be… that the Iron Maiden, the S-class hero, is nervous?”
Realizing that she wasn’t sick or uncomfortable but nervous, Si-yoon poked In-yeong’s cheek with his finger with a playful expression.
“Y-yes…! Because it’s my first date….”
In-yeong ended up admitting that she was nervous.
She lowered her head, embarrassed to show Si-yoon her flushed face.
“We’ll be going on many more dates together in the future anyway…, so don’t be nervous and just relax.”
Si-yoon took a warm canned coffee from his pocket and handed it to her, then hugged her tightly, who kept lowering her head in embarrassment.
“Ah… I know… uueueu….”
She said she understood, but her heart couldn’t stop racing.
Even drinking the warm coffee he gave her to calm her nerves, or looking at the scenery outside the window for a while, it didn’t easily subside.
‘If I’m this nervous… will I even be able to enjoy the date today…?’
***
The high-speed train, running cheerfully and quickly on the tracks, reached their destination, and Si-yoon and In-yeong, holding hands, walked a short distance and arrived in front of the resort.
“Is it because it has both accommodations and cultural facilities…?
It definitely looks much bigger and has more things than a hotel.”
“T-that’s right! Because I worked hard to find it for today.”
After receiving the key card and a booklet with information about using the resort at the front desk, they boarded the elevator with an employee who would guide them to their room.
– Ding—
After going up for a while, the elevator stopped and the doors opened, revealing a hallway that felt different from the usual hotel room floors.
The employee smiled and opened the door to the room where they would be staying until tomorrow, revealing a luxurious and spacious interior.
The interior design was comparable to any luxury hotel they had stayed in before, and it even had a private swimming pool and a private outdoor terrace where they could enjoy the night view.
“Then… have a pleasant day.”
After finishing the tour and giving a polite greeting, the employee left the room, and Si-yoon sat on the most important bed to check its softness and durability.
“It must have been hard to book a place like this… the room must have been really expensive.”
The ability of the females to book only the best date spots and luxury accommodations.
Si-yoon couldn’t help but be amazed every time they came to a place like this.
“With the wealth of the S-class hero Iron Maiden…, booking a room like this is as easy as pie, you know?”
Seeing Si-yoon nodding and liking the room, In-yeong, who had been nervous about the date the whole time, puffed out her chest for the first time.
“What should we do first… the swimming pool, perhaps?”
A spa-like swimming pool with finely adjustable depth and temperature.
Si-yoon dipped his finger slightly into the swimming pool, which had warm water in it even before they arrived.
‘T-the swimming pool from the start… that’s too bold…!’
Seeing Si-yoon, who had already decided to get into the swimming pool, taking off his clothes, In-yeong, who had been confidently puffing out her chest until just now, blushed again.
She had deliberately booked a room with a swimming pool and even prepared a special swimsuit, but she was nervous again when she was about to show him.
‘Okay… since I prepared it, I’m going to show him properly…!’
Leaving Si-yoon, who had already taken off all his clothes and was about to put his feet in the swimming pool, In-yeong took something out of her bag and quietly went into the bathroom.
