#s-rank hunters to e-rank!jin-woo: LITTLE BROTHER!!!!!

[manawari]

Thinking about this AU again and then I went—

E-Rank!Jin-woo visiting his dad in the guild, only then to find himself admiring every S-Rank hunter in the building. Choi Jong-in's fire powers? Amazing! Baek Yoon-ho's beast transformation? Immaculate! Ma Dong-wook's gigantification? Utterly speechless! Lim Tae-gyu's sharp range of shooting? Impressive! Min Byung-gyu's healing skills? Beautiful! Eun-seok's agile and close combat? How badass! Cha Hae-in's swordsmanship? Spectacular!

In short, Jin-woo fanboys in the inside every time he sees them. Though, some of them barely notice him unless they recognize him as Sung Ill-hwan's eldest child. Ill-hwan offers Jin-woo for a spot in the guild so he won't have to freelance or join available hunting groups, which Jin-woo always refuses because he doesn't think he'll fit in them anyway.

Heh. The S-Rank hunters besides Dong-wook and Hae-in treating E-Rank!Jin-woo like a little brother:3

Cannot stop thinking about a sugarmommy situation between Cha Hae In and E-rank Jin Woo.

They had made a deal with each other that as long as Jin Woo was the porter of Hae In´s team, Jin Woo would be set free for life and Cha Hae In wouldnt need to deal with a strong sence so smell by her side all the time. jin Woo accepted becuase, obviously money, and also he wont get as hurt is he stood by the side of an S rank even in the highest of A rank dungeons.

They made this offer when after Jin Woo had visited Jin Chul and tried to talk him out of the proffession, but seeing that he wasnt able to, one of the chiefs actually told him about Cha´s smelling problem and said that if he doesnt want Jin Woo to die, he should try and see if Hae In is interested in having a presence which doesnt smell as bad but can also come into dungeons with him.

And thankfully Hae In had been searching for a person just like that.

Their relationship doesnt start off as good at first. She doesnt hate him, but its just that Jin Woo is too weak even compared to healers and in order for him to not be attacked as much then Hae In has to stay very close to him all the time unless they are fighting in which she will try to deal with as many hunters as possible.

Hae In doesnt like the smell of other A ranks so she and Jin Woo would usually be seperated from the group, and Jin Woo, trying not to be awkward in this kind of situation would try to make some kind of talk with her.

Eventually she would get to learn about his mother´s illness and Jin Ah and his father´s dissapearance. (and i just imagine a cute scene where years of lonelyness and the strong smell had distanced her from a lot of people, so she didnt smile as much these days but when Jin Woo talks she can slowly start opening up back again and smile more and I think its cute.)

Jin Woo could also become friends with Son Kihoon wo treats him like a little brother, Gina who likes to lift him up in the air once in a while, Seo Ji Woo who teaches him a bit of self defense, Bora Lee who from the start was amazed at how little mana he had and always tried to study him, and Han Se-mi which would be the second closest person with Jin Woo on the raid since a healer also had to be protected so they both fell on that level of not being able to move as much as they would.

While Jin Woo wasnt the strongest, he was quite good at keeping up with the S rank Hae in and also very fast at adapting to things so he didnt have a lot of problems in acting quicklt when it came to giving them the supplies they all needed. In fact he even took his job so seriously that if he couldnt reach someone in time to give an item, he would still try to get away from the safe zone and help others instead. A thing that ticked off most of the fighters like Seo Ji who, had it not been for he fast reflexes, Jin Woo would have lost more than an arm that day. Or Son Kihoon who had almost lost Jin Woo two times when Cha hae In wasnt in the strike squad at that time.

he didnt cause problems, but he wasnt helping either by being the weakest seeing that another time a ranger hit him straight on the chest and missed his heart by luckyness so Se Mi was able to heal him. Then there was another time the boss sent him flying with a punch, and he would have died instantly had Bora not put a protection spell over him. Time and time again, If Cha Hae In hadnt been an S rank or Se Mi wasnt a quick healer or Bora had forgotten to put a protector charm on him then Jin woo could have lost his life many times withing the dungeon raids.

"There is a saying that goes, If the Magician gets hurt then its the fault of the Tank, if the Healer gets hurt then its the fault of the strike squad, if the porter gets hurt then its the fault of the guild... but honestly i feel like no matter how hard we try, the mosters seem to always just want to kill you." Se mi says to him one day, and he cant help but apologize until it becomes redundant.

Hae In wanted to discuss him about that, if he wanted to cut it off and instead work for the low rank gates of the assosiation instead. But Jin Woo always relented that he felt more safe out there in the A ranks dungeons with Hae In than he had ever done in his entire life as a hunter. And that he doesnt regret this chance at all.

Instead he wants to ask if they will fire him for that. For being Weak.

Choi Jong In would have done so a long time ago had Hae In not stepped in her foot many fucking times, even to the point that she fought about it with her guild master, well she fought about a lot more things with him, so this wasnt new, and Jin Woo didnt need to know all of that. She told him that he has the choice in the matter whenever to come along with her to the dunegons or not, and that not even "The Ultimate Soldier" could do anything about that.

(Which made Jin Woo very flustered upon hearing that.)

AND THEN THE DOUBLE DUNGEON HAPPENED!

Cha Hae In had been called yet again to the Main Attack force because they needed as much stenght as they could get from that team for this high ranked A dungeon, and on the other hand the second attack force had taken a C rank gate since all B ranks and A ranks where taken with the other fighting squads, and it was still a very equiped gate filling up with a lot of mana stone so the hunters decided to take the job. Usually the team would be composed of 11 A ranks and 6 B ranks, of ocurse that would be an overkill to this dungeon so mostly the 6 B ranks and 4 A ranks got to come, those A ranks being Son Ki Hoon, Bora and Han Se Mi.

The raiding goes absolutely horrible, most of them die. Gina would be the first to run away, Son ki hoon would take Se Mi and also run away while leaving Jin Woo to die. in this case a somewhat relevant B rank or Bora would proably be the one who betrays jin Woo, or maybe no one but who knows, the thing is that Jin Woo wakes up three days later and the first thing he sees is a sleep deprived Hae In on her twelve cup of coffee...that just fell to the ground oh boy.

From then on, and also due to not doing the daily quest, Hae in is like a hawk behind Jin Woo trying to keep an eye on him at like all times, it takes a few tries from Jin chul and Choi to actually make her leave and start working, and Jin woo also tries to convice her (pretty please leave so i can get this dungeon key open!!) so she does only when he is absolutely, completely, totally fine--- wait a minute, when did you suddenly grow so tall???
