The Taekwondo Girl

After slaughtering zombies in downtown Daegu for about ten minutes, the three of them took to the drone and flew out toward the outskirts.

Once they reached a safe area, the group disembarked and Dohyun recalled the drone back into his inventory.

Kwon Bomi had witnessed the brothers' extraordinary power firsthand, and her eyes were filled with admiration.

"You two are incredible!"

The drone was a special mode of transportation, but the inventory ability was something she'd never even imagined possible. And the sight of the two of them slaughtering zombies was simply unbelievable.

Dohyun turned to Bomi.

"How about it? Want to clear a dungeon ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠with us?"

"Yes! Please—I'd be honored. I'd really like to."

Though his words were phrased as an invitation, to her they sounded like a message of salvation. To travel alongside the two brothers—powerhouses like them—and to actually clear a dungeon together was an opportunity beyond words.

Since it was still daytime, the brothers and Bomi decided to tackle one dungeon that day.

They took to the drone and flew west to the Seongseo 5th Advanced General Industrial Complex, which had transformed into a dungeon wrapped in a Green Barrier.

They arrived at the dungeon, and everyone disembarked.

"Hyung, should we prepare anything?"

"I don't know. It's Green, so let's just take it easy."

At that, the brothers began warming up—doing light stretches. Bomi, catching on, joined in.

"This is a Green Barrier dungeon. We don't have any information on it, but as long as you follow my instructions carefully, you'll clear it without taking any damage."

Dohyun explained patiently, since Bomi was new to this.

"I won't use a signal system. I'll give verbal instructions and let you know where enemies are approaching, so don't push yourself too hard."

Bomi, still stretching, called out a loud "Yes!"

"Alright, we'll all enter the dungeon at the same time."

And so the three of them passed through the Green Barrier together and stepped inside.

Inside the dungeon, they found themselves in an industrial complex.

Ughhh...

Zombies were visible, so the three immediately prepared for combat.

"Hyung? What's the situation inside?"

"Nothing special nearby for now."

It looked like a dungeon with only a lot of regular zombies.

"Alright, then this is a dungeon where I can really shine."

Dohyun touched the mechanical gauntlets he was wearing, his confidence evident. When he attacked with the gauntlets equipped, the shockwave damage increased significantly, making area attacks devastatingly effective against ordinary zombies.

"Kang Dohyun takes the front. Bomi and I will cover the sides."

"Yes."

With their formation set, the three began moving forward.

This was a Green Barrier dungeon—extremely easy for Dohyun and Dohun. Still, since it was Bomi's first dungeon experience, they moved slowly, just like a normal ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠dungeon clear.

And Bomi fought with genuine effort.

"Hah! Hap!"

She shouted her battle cries, and whenever a zombie entered her zone, she dispatched it immediately with a kick, faithfully fulfilling her role.

She's much better than I expected.

She fell short in every way compared to his younger brother, but honestly, comparing her to Dohun was a cruel reality.

Bomi displayed excellent kick attacks based on her natural athletic talent. At level 17, with combat ability like that, she was honestly top-tier among elite warriors.

And she wasn't even tense—she was completely at ease.

Dohun would be fine with a girl like her.

In the apocalypse, she was exactly the kind of woman who suited his brother.

They wandered through the industrial complex for about an hour, slowly clearing out zombies. When most of them had fallen—

The welcome messages appeared, and the dungeon's barrier vanished.

"We did it!"

Bomi, who had pushed through a grueling hour of combat, rejoiced at successfully clearing the dungeon. And she was even happier that her level had risen to 18.

"Ah... oh!"

But as she celebrated, she suddenly collapsed.

"Are you okay?"

Dohun, alarmed, asked if she was alright.

She had held on desperately, but the moment the dungeon cleared, exhaustion flooded her entire body.

"You did great. You did really well."

Dohun praised her and helped her up.

The group exited the industrial complex and cooled their sweat in the river breeze.

"That's enough for today."

At Dohyun's words, Dohun and Bomi nodded.

"We need to meet early tomorrow morning."

At the mention of meeting early, Bomi hesitated. The village where she lived was quite far from here.

Getting back to the village was one problem, but leaving early the next morning was also quite difficult.

"If you're unsure where to stay, would you like to come to our base camp?"

Dohyun offered first. Dohun looked flustered, but—

"Is that really okay?"

Bomi showed her willingness to go if they allowed it.

The three of them took to the drone and headed for the base camp.

Especially when the drone flew between dungeons, Bomi was startled, but when they landed in the area formed between three dungeons—

"Wow... there's a place like this."

She marveled at the unique base camp area.

As the three disembarked—

"Master!"

Lee Chaerin, naked except for her shoes, ran out and threw herself into Dohyun's arms.

"....."

Bomi was startled again by Chaerin's appearance, but—

"She's my woman. A slave."

"Ah... I see."

After the apocalypse, many men owned women like tools. So Bomi simply nodded.

Since ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠there was a tent for Dohun and Chaerin inside the prefab building, Dohun set up a tent on the rooftop instead.

Then Dohun went into the shower tent to bathe.

"Is there enough water?"

Bomi, curious about him showering outside, asked Dohyun.

"Dohun has a contract with a water spirit. So he can always use water."

He told her this casually—something he wouldn't have told anyone else.

"Wow...."

Bomi was amazed again.

"Is there anything else that might surprise me?"

At her question, Dohyun smiled lightly.

Bomi was able to shower as well, since Dohun had filled a large water barrel inside the shower tent.

And when she came out wearing borrowed clothes from Chaerin—

Ts-ts-ts.

A grill was set up, and meat was sizzling on it.

That looks delicious.

Bomi swallowed her saliva and watched.

"Sit here."

"Yes!"

Bomi didn't refuse Dohun's invitation and took her seat.

The evening menu was nearly perfect: grilled pork belly, white rice, kimchi, lettuce, chili peppers, ssamjang dipping sauce, and even soju.

"Wow..."

Bomi marveled again at the almost-perfectly set dinner.

Today's dinner was a special setup that Dohyun had contacted Kim Harin about and purchased through the shop window—a different menu from usual.

She ate a perfectly grilled piece of pork belly wrapped in lettuce with ssamjang and white rice in one bite, then washed it down with a cool glass of soju.

"Ah."

A sigh of delight escaped Bomi's lips.

"Pork belly with soju... I can't believe it."

At her words, the brothers laughed.

They grilled and ate meat until their stomachs were about to burst. As they enjoyed the meal, Bomi's eyes began to well up with tears.

Since the apocalypse began, she had only ever eaten meals to fill her stomach.

Thinking of the villagers she sustained with the Zombie Coins she earned, she couldn't afford expensive food.

This morning alone, she had eaten the cheapest, most filling corn porridge before heading out.

She enjoyed this dinner, but somewhere along the way, a sadness crept in.

They ate late into the evening, cleaned up, and each went to their own tent.

Dohyun and Chaerin naturally went into the tent that ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠had been set up first, while Dohun and Bomi went up to the rooftop together.

"Um... if it's inconvenient, should I sleep outside?"

"No! Absolutely not. That would be inconvenient for me."

And so the two of them entered the rooftop tent together.

Dohun covered himself with a blanket, and Bomi crawled into the sleeping bag he usually used.

Sweat smell...

The sleeping bag had a faint scent of sweat—Dohun's sweat. But Bomi didn't mind it.

"Is everything comfortable?"

"Yes."

"Then sleep well."

They exchanged light greetings and lay down to sleep. But then—

"Ahhng! Haaah! Haaang! Master! It feels good! Haaaang!!!"

Loud moans began to come from downstairs.

Dohyun and Chaerin's sex session was long. Or rather, Dohyun deliberately made it long.

So as Chaerin's loud moans continued—

"Ah! Hyung, seriously!"

Dohun, flustered, said—

"Bomi, don't worry about it and go to sleep. I'll make sure to talk to my hyung about it tomorrow."

"Yes..."

Bomi answered in a small voice and crawled back into her sleeping bag. And in her mind—

Is sex really that good?

She peeked out slightly to look at Dohun. He was lying there under the blanket.

If... if Dohun came to me, what would I do?

The thought made her afraid, but also... excited.

Why am I thinking this?

Bomi's mind was a mess. She tossed and turned for a long while before finally falling asleep.

Dohyun, Dohun, and Bomi had set out together to clear dungeons.

With Bomi joining them, dungeon clear times had lengthened slightly, but they treated it as team experience and adjusted their pace to match her level.

So they spent three days together. And on the afternoon of the third day, in the fourth dungeon—

A skeleton charged at Bomi as she was clearing the dungeon. She dodged the attack with movements she had grown familiar with.

Thwack, thwack, thump!

She struck the skeleton's legs, torso, and head with a series of consecutive kicks. The skeleton fell, and—

"Dead!"

She stomped down hard with her foot, crushing the skull and stopping the skeleton's movements.

It was a perfect kick combo. And then—

Bomi saw the dungeon clear message and cheered.

"Finally! Level 20 achieved! Thank you so much!"

She looked at Dohyun and Dohun beside her, smiling brightly and repeating her thanks over and over.

Then she began checking the new trait that appeared at level 20.

Dohyun and Dohun watched Bomi's cheerful expression.

"Finally level 20."

"Yeah, the level 20 we promised."

Dohyun felt proud and satisfied, but Dohun wore a bitter expression at the thought of parting ways.
