◈ My Girlfriend Returned as a Dragon ◈

Chapter 66: You Tried to Touch Oppa?

──────

That woman had tried to seduce Minjun.

That alone filled Sia with rage, but there was an even bigger problem.

The woman was Yuria, a dragon notorious for having many lovers.

‘That bitch dared?’

Having lost control, Sia immediately swung her hand hard across Yuria’s cheek.

Smack!

If Yuria had been an ordinary human instead of a dragon, it would not have been strange for her neck to have twisted on the spot.

Rubbing her reddened cheek, Yuria glared resentfully at Sia.

Yuria felt no guilt.

She was only furious that her supposedly perfect plan had been discovered.

She huffed angrily and tried to speak, but before she could, Sia released Dragon Fear and spat out a cold curse.

“You bitch.”

Even Rokan, who was standing beside them, was nearly overwhelmed by the intense Dragon Fear pouring from Sia.

“If you didn’t like seeing me date my oppa, you could’ve just said so.”

The timid Sia Yuria had seen at the gathering was nowhere to be found.

‘A-Am I going to die like this?’

Overwhelmed by deep fear, Yuria’s legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed awkwardly to the floor.

This was the first time since becoming an adult dragon that Yuria had felt so thoroughly overwhelmed by fear.

“But you dared to touch my oppa?”

Sia lifted Yuria’s chin when she could not meet her eyes and made her look at her again.

“Grandfather. Tell me exactly how this bitch tried to seduce my oppa.”

Rokan wore a troubled expression as he honestly told her everything he had seen at the scene.

Not content with throwing every flirtatious gesture she could at Minjun, Yuria had even placed a curse on him to impair his cognition without him noticing.

“Perhaps she knew Minjun would not fall for her while in his right mind, so it seems she secretly cursed him to keep him from noticing.”

The instant Sia heard the word curse, her face flushed red with rage.

Had Yuria deliberately tried to drive a wedge between them?

Fortunately, Minjun had somehow endured through sheer willpower, so nothing they feared had happened. Still, Rokan added that it would not have been strange if Minjun had fallen for Yuria’s seduction because of the curse she had placed on him.

A woman with wealth, fame, and beauty had set out to seduce him, and he had even been cursed to make him more vulnerable to temptation.

Yet even in that situation, Minjun had rejected her advances and remained faithful to Sia.

The moment she realized that, Sia felt her nose sting.

‘I’ve always trusted oppa, but...’

He had thought of her and held firm even while under a curse?

A sense of security that Sia had not felt in days began to wash over her.

But only for a moment.

The moment she saw Yuria’s vicious expression, rage surged up in her again.

“I will never forgive you.”

* * *

Even after Rokan barely managed to rescue me and I returned home, my head was still a mess.

A woman who was an SSS-rank Hunter, someone I had met for the first time today, had tried to seduce me despite knowing I had a girlfriend.

Maybe it was because of the aura that Hunter gave off, but impure thoughts had taken over my mind as if I had been possessed.

Then, just as I barely fought off her seduction and tried to leave, Rokan found me.

How could anyone consider that a normal turn of events?

And there was something else.

‘What am I supposed to tell Rokan about this?’

Of course, I was innocent, but to anyone who had seen it without knowing what happened before, it would have looked like I was cheating.

Rokan had probably been furious when he saw it too.

How could he not be angry after seeing his granddaughter’s boyfriend fooling around with another woman?

Yet, strangely, instead of getting angry, Rokan reassured me as though he knew the entire situation.

Could he have had some idea of what had happened?

Maybe.

Could Rokan have known that woman’s hidden identity?

For example, perhaps she was a dragon like him.

If I assumed she was another dragon, some things made sense.

Rokan might have been uncomfortable with a dragon other than Sia approaching me. Or perhaps Yuria had been planning some strange grand scheme that an ordinary human like me could never imagine.

Well, those were all just guesses.

But if they were right, it meant dragons other than Rokan and Sia were living in this world while hiding their identities.

Maybe there were many dragons, not just that woman.

‘If that’s true... that’s kind of creepy.’

Countless thoughts circled through my mind, but even those worries sank beneath the surface as my head grew foggy.

Wanting to get some sleep, I lay down on the bed.

Then, after who knew how much time had passed.

I woke up in a daze and sensed someone nearby. When I looked beside me, Rokan was quietly watching me.

His sudden appearance made my body freeze.

I had no idea what my first words should be.

“You must have been very tired.”

“...Lord Rokan. About earlier...”

“I know. That woman seduced you first. You kept rejecting her, but she must have continued to press you anyway.”

Just as I had expected, Rokan knew roughly what had happened.

“Yes. I know it’s hard to believe, but that’s right.”

But that was separate from this.

I was embarrassed and sorry that he had seen me like that.

Besides, no matter how much Rokan knew, he could not have known what impure thoughts I had been having then.

If he found out I had been thinking such disgusting thoughts, Rokan surely would have been angry.

“Don’t lower your head. You did nothing wrong.”

When I lowered my head, Rokan gently comforted me.

“I came here to tell you that I am proud of you for holding on.”

“Holding on?”

I could not understand what Rokan meant.

“You did not notice, but that room had been cursed. It was a curse that weakened the target’s cognitive ability. That is why you could not properly judge the situation.”

So no matter how much I wanted to remain faithful to Sia, I could have fallen for Ria Black’s seduction regardless of my own will.

Then why?

That was the problem.

It was strange enough that a woman who looked capable of seducing any man she wanted had targeted me. But she had even used a curse.

“I don’t quite understand. Was there a reason she had to seduce me... even going as far as placing a curse on me?”

She was someone who, if she wanted, could probably seduce wealthy and handsome young Hollywood actors. Why had she been so desperate to seduce me?

Had she planned to find a weakness of mine, blackmail me, and force me to sign Aura Guild’s contract?

No. If that had been her goal, the guild master would not have stepped in personally.

Or was she after something only I had, something no one else did?

What could it be?

“I cannot tell you.”

“...What?”

Rokan’s answer was far outside my expectations.

He did not say he did not know. He said he could not tell me.

That meant Rokan knew the reason.

“You will naturally learn it one day. But now is not the time.”

What kind of reason was it that he could not tell me?

Whenever he said something was a secret and that I would learn it someday, it drove me crazy with curiosity.

“Could you at least give me a hint?”

“That is not possible either.”

Rokan firmly shook his head.

I did not know when I would get closer to those secrets, but perhaps I would understand once I fully awakened my dragon power.

For now, I had no choice but to endure my curiosity with that thought.

“By the way, about what happened today. Does Sia... know?”

Since Rokan had found us there, there was a good chance he had told Sia too.

I hoped he had not.

“I told her.”

“Ah...”

The moment I heard that, I was at a loss for words.

After a brief silence, I carefully asked Rokan.

“Is Sia... angry?”

“I have not seen Shasha this angry in hundreds of years.”

“Ah...”

You should not have told her.

No, even if you had to tell her, you could have waited until later, after Sia had recovered a little.

She was already having a hard time because of what happened then.

“I just hope Sia doesn’t misunderstand.”

“Do not worry. Sia knows the whole story. Shasha is angry at that woman, not you. In fact, once she learned what happened, she was grateful to you. She said you held back well and did not fall for the seduction despite being under a curse.”

“That was only natural.”

Sia would have done the same if she were in my position.

“So, is Sia... all right?”

“If you are asking about her physical condition, she is. But if you are asking about her mental health, unfortunately, she is not.”

She had been trying in her own way to overcome her trauma, but Rokan could see that Sia was struggling.

And today, she had heard unpleasant news as well.

“So I was just telling Shasha to go out and get some fresh air. She is well enough to move around, so she can clear her thoughts too.”

“That’s a good idea. Ah, then please tell Sia I’ll pack her a lunch when she goes out for a walk.”

“I will. Now that you mention it, Minjun, wouldn’t it be good for you to go out and get some air too?”

As I listened to him, I felt that I needed to clear my head too.

So much had happened lately, and I was not in any condition to train. Going outside seemed like the right choice.

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“Good. If you need help, tell me anytime.”

“Thank you.”

After Rokan left.

Following his advice, I slowly considered where I could go to get some fresh air.

Should I visit somewhere Sia and I had traveled to before, so I could reminisce about old memories?

Or maybe Jeju Island?

‘That’s not a bad idea.’

Rokan had said Sia was recovering at his lair, not at her own lair on Jeju Island, so I probably would not run into her there.

And perhaps we would go on a date on Jeju Island someday, so it would not be bad to scout the place out in advance.

Once my thoughts reached that point, I immediately turned on my phone and booked a flight to Jeju Island.

Korea Hunter Association, Jeju Branch.

The employees of the Gate Management Department, which managed Gates that had appeared within the last few days, stared at their monitors with grave expressions.

They were looking at information about a new Gate that had appeared yesterday near Yongduam, a famous tourist attraction on Jeju Island.

“Jinsung, we haven’t managed a Gate like this before, have we?”

“Not one we’ve managed.”

The man called Jinsung suppressed a groan as he stared at the monitor.

“It’s an Extra Gate, and it’s EX-rank. We can set that aside for now.”

“That’s not really something we can just set aside, is it?”

“No, it isn’t. But the real problem is something else.”

There were ordinary Gates, Dungeon Gates, and Extra Gates, which belonged to neither category and were relatively the most difficult to clear.

On top of that, its rank was the irregular EX-rank, making its danger impossible to assess.

That alone made it dangerous enough, but there was another reason Jinsung said the real problem lay elsewhere.

“Why... can’t anyone enter it?”

There was no Gate in the world that Hunters could not enter.
