Ryu Sunghyun, finally regaining his senses, grabbed the medicine and a glass of lukewarm water before heading up to the second floor where Cha Seohu was resting.
Flustered, he missed the chance to deny it. He never thought he’d hear something like that in a place like this.
‘It’s an expression most people these days wouldn’t even know.’
It was a word he’d only occasionally heard from a fifty-something Hunter he’d met in a dungeon or from his own guildmaster.
It wasn’t the kind of term that a mountain caretaker, who looked to be around Seohu’s age, would naturally use. Especially not someone living out here in the middle of nowhere.
