Feeling embarrassed by his awkward confession, Jin Yu-ha quickly excused himself, saying he needed to go train, and left the room in a hurry. However, the rest of the party members remained seated, reflecting on what had just happened.

In truth, Jin Yu-ha rarely expressed his true feelings. Instead, he was the type to notice when one of the party members was struggling and offer help in his own quiet way. As a result, the others often found themselves on the receiving end of his care without ever having the chance to repay it, which had left a subtle sense of indebtedness among them.

This had created a longing, a subtle worry. They knew Jin Yu-ha valued them more than he would the average person, but was it only because of their skills? Was it possible that they were the only ones with deep emotional ties, making their relationship with him one-sided?

It would be a lie to say this didn’t bother them.

And that was precisely why Jin Yu-ha’s awkwardly voiced confession, with his reddened face, had such a powerful impact.

“Family... he actually said that...”

“I never expected to hear Jin Yu-ha say something like that…”

“An benefactor…”

As they each recalled Jin Yu-ha’s words, lost in thought, Shin Se-hee cleared her throat, breaking the silence. The others turned their attention to her.

“Well, ahem... since Jin Yu-ha shared something like that, I think it’s only fair I tell you all something.”@@novelbin@@
