Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn -
Chapter 49: Hunting Season (2)
But the peace didn't last for long.
"Hey, uh, YuWon," Yuna began hesitantly. "Sorry if this is personal, but… your neighbors, back at the base, said they heard… how do I say this? They heard moans from your room last night."
Neighbors, my ass.
YuWon thought, remembering about the recorder he found in the room.
Still, I didn't expect them to hear us all night.
YuWon meant it when he told the girls to let Yuna and Minho listen to them. As uncomfortable as it was, he intentionally made Yeji moan through dull electric shocks, just to test how long would they listen to them. And it seemed they did for quite a while.
But Yeji didn't think the same. Her cheeks turned slightly red as she realized what Yuna was talking about. Meanwhile, Yuna continued.
"They were just wondering if you could tone it down a bit. You know, with the atmosphere and everything."
YuWon's face immediately turned red, and he began coughing violently, almost swerving the car in surprise. He was thinking about what he should tell her when Yuna asked him another question and it nearly made him crash the vehicle.
"Also, isn't it uncomfortable? I mean, having Gina and Yeji both in the room? You know… to get intimate in front of your sister?"
YuWon slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to the side of the road for a moment to catch his breath. He was no fool to not understand what Yuna was implying.
"Yeji is my step-sister!"
Those were the first words out of his mouth. However, his words backfired, and Yuna assumed the two had something going on. After all, he said they were step siblings.
"And what do you mean 'both in the room'?! I would never get intimate with Yeji! Logic aside, she and I are family!"
The blush on Yeji's face disappeared when she heard YuWon say that. She looked at herself, wondering if she was so ugly. But YuWon wasn't done. He looked at Gina through the rearview mirror and continued.
"And as for Gina... well," he mumbled. "With a wife like her, it's hard to keep my hands off sometimes."
His words turned Gina's face beet red. She couldn't look at him anymore and turned to look out the window, embarrassed and yet smiling like never before.
"But then—" Yuna wanted to pry further but was interrupted.
"I just remembered something!" Yeji exclaimed, trying to divert the topic. "There's a gas station nearby. Shouldn't we get the fuel from there, since we are moving in cars?"
"Good thinking!" YuWon nodded eagerly, grateful for the excuse to change the subject. "Maybe we'll replace something to eat there, too."
Before things could get any more awkward, YuWon changed gears and headed toward the gas station.

Soon they arrived at the gas station, only to replace it crawling with goblins. It seemed like the goblins had made the station their refuge. Some goblins had huddled under the gas pumps, while others scavenged through the trash bins, looking for anything useful.
A few larger ones stood guard with their makeshift weapons. It was clear they had been driven there, probably fleeing from the ogres that had been hunting them.
"Of course, it'll be crawling with monsters," Yuna rolled her eyes.
"Are you scared of them?" YuWon asked as Gina, and he stepped out of the vehicle behind him. "Wait for my signal and then—"
Unfortunately, the soldiers in the second car didn't want to wait. They wanted to show off their skills to impress Yuna, masking their intentions behind words such as it was their duty to protect civilians.
It almost made Yeji rip their throats off when they were the ones who started a fight with YuWon before.
Just as YuWon was about to say something, Yeji peeked out of the window and her expression showed that she wasn't pleased with the soldier's antics. Of course, she was mad—they were messing up her plan to test YuWon's strength.
"What word from YuWon could you people not hear?" she barked. "Get back in the car and wait for his signal!"
"...right, our apologies."
As the soldiers huddled back in the car, YuWon shook his head. He couldn't help but wonder how so many of them survived, given how infatuated they were with Yuna.
Half the army probably died protecting her or something. Fucking idiots.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" one soldier mumbled, watching YuWon kill a hobgoblin with ease.
But that soldier wasn't alone. Everyone was equally shocked. Dealing with the monsters had been tiresome for them, and they remembered their first encounter with a hobgoblin.
Over thirty people and countless bullets were required to take the beast down, leaving only eight soldiers alive in the end. Yet there he was, killing the hobgoblin as if it was nothing more than a pest.
"The girl too... I think she is stronger than even YuWon."
Well, they weren't wrong. While YuWon sliced the goblins with his sword, Gina was busy crushing their heads with her massive hammer. Their skill and coordination were flawless, and it almost felt like they could read each other's thoughts.
While the others praised her brother, Yeji couldn't help but feel proud and sad at the same time. Proud because of YuWon's accomplishments and sad thinking about how things would have been between them if she had believed him from the start.
But then she noticed something. Yuna was smiling, watching YuWon and Gina. However, it wasn't her usual sweet, innocent smile, but a sly, cunning grin.
But Yuna's twisted grin disappeared quickly, and she returned to her usual act, cheering YuWon and Gina like the others.
"Your brother and sister-in-law are amazing!" she exclaimed. "No wonder you people were the first ones to clear the tutorial."
Before Yeji could reply, YuWon and Gina finished the last of the goblins, without a single scratch on their body. He then took a step back, glancing over at the group of soldiers.
"All clear," he said. "Let's fill the cars and get back on the road."
