Seo Yuhui/Relationships

## Seol Jihu

##### 1st timeline

She first met Seol during an expedition when Baek Haeju saved him. When he followed the expedition team in hopes of speaking to Haeju, Yuhui, who realized that her friend cared about but didn't want to talk to him, told him that he would make her worry about him if he stays with them as they are going on a very dangerous expedition. It's thanks to these words that he started to train like like a madman with the help of Sinyoung to become stronger in hopes of stopping Haeju from worrying about him, later becoming one of the strongest people in Paradise.

At one time, the Parasite army launched a surprise attack aimed specifically at Haeju. While Seol was able to kill Sung Shihyun during the fierce attack, he wasn't able to protect his ex-girlfriend. He was however able to rescue Yuhui, and thus prevent her from being raped by the enemies, and proceeded to fulfill Haeju's dying wish: to protect Yuhui as she only came back to Paradise because of Haeju.

Having escorted her safely to the Temple of Luxuria, he immediately left as he'd fulfilled his promise. When she recovered from the earlier surprise attack, she went out to search for Seol, guided by the indescribable emotions she felt whenever she thought about him due to her link to Luxuria. She also hoped to find out why her feelings of lust that had plagued her deeply and at one time even made her retire from Paradise after she became Luxuria's apostle, receded whenever she was with him.

When she finally met him again, besides his insane training routine, she came to know the intense grief he felt of being unable to protect Haeju and apologize to her. Thanks to Yuhui who gave him hope of reviving her, he was able to cope his feelings of loss. She then travelled together with him to get enough contribution points for her revival. During that time they shared a relationship of mutual trust. She devoted herself to caring for him as she couldn't leave him alone due to his occasional fragile moments where she feared that he'd shatter at any moment. On the other hand his strength made her calm her body and mind.

Though initially being drawn to him because of Luxuria's influence, she fell in love with him during the time she travelled with him which she considered to be the few moments of happiness she had in Paradise, even though the situation became worse day after day. Seol on the other hand kept his interactions with Yuhui at the bare minimum and also paid careful attention to keep himself from coming into contact with her, but that could also be because he was considerate of her identity as Luxuria's apostle. She felt that he saw her as nothing more than a helper which made her feel a little envious of Haeju who Seol always thought about. When she tried to get closer to him, she realized that he had a stronger iron wall than even the one she had put up against other men, leaving her a bit frustrated.

When he was about to leave her to go on a mission in that he would most likely die in, he revealed that he does care about Yuhui and sees her as the only person he could trust. He asked her to escape from Paradise as the situation is pretty much hopeless and hoped she, if possible, could take care of Haeju on Earth by giving her the divinity of Abhorrent Charity. Despite Yuhui's refusal to leave him alone, he vanished from her sight, leaving her in tears.

She later came to know that the mission was a failure and spent her time searching for him in hopes of seeing him alive. Then, after the final war at the last stronghold against the Parasites which ended in humanity's defeat, Yuhui finally broke down upon finding his disfigured corpse on the battlefield, next to Teresa's and before Gula who just fulfilled Seol's wish. She also begged Gula to sent back her emotions when she wasn't able to wish for his revival.

##### 2nd timeline (current story)

Yuhui received her emotions from her future self as a fleeting dream at a time she was still retired from Paradise and began to write everything she remembered about it down. To avoid the butterfly effect as much as possible, she only came back after Seonhwa asked her to protect Seol and create an opportunity for her to approach him without others finding out about her relationship with him.

From then on she supported him with everything she had, like healing his critical wounds thanks to her own Future Vision, even at the cost of her own health and abilities, using a Divine Wish to enter the Banquet to protect him and feeding him extremely rare and valuable food to boost his strength. She showered him with a lot of affection and care, to the bemused shock and jealousy of many as she adamantly denied all advances on her and even tried to avoid making contact with others like the plague, especially men, thus giving her the reputation as an Ice Queen and nickname as the Steel Wall.

Initially, she believed that her interest in Seol came mainly from her memories of her future self. However, after the Banquet she realized that her feelings were authentic. She fell in love with him in both timelines. Ironically, while Seol is the only person that doesn't automatically trigger her feelings of lust, he's also the only one with whom she wants to feel it, saying that she couldn't be happier if her body reacted like that to the man she loves.

Seol on the other hand also cares greatly for her and tries to help her whenever he can. When Yuhui asked him to help with her advancement to level 8, Seol easily parted with extremely valuable items that she needed to advance. And when she was attacked while suffering from her heavy repercussions of healing Seol in his deathbed, he became devastated and swore to utterly destroy the people behind the attempted assassination.

He also notes that she gives him a strange sense of familiarity and often finds himself in her embrace when asleep or semi-conscious, though he often remains unaware of this habit himself. In return, Yuhui also gladly reciprocates his embrace. It's later implied that he behaves like that because of Luxuria's influence who he'd met when he was still a little child.

Ever since they became a couple after Yuhui confessed her feelings, they've been very affectionate with each other. She's also shown to have a lewd side. In the epilogue, she finally seduced and lost her virginity to him. It's shown that she'd been waiting for and working toward that day a long time. They consumed their love continuously for weeks to come. While Seol's stamina should've been very big due to his abilities, he couldn't hold a candle to Yuhui. Their friends became increasingly concerned when they saw him slowly losing his vitality while Yuhui remaining refreshed. He finally put himself in reign again when his culinary instincts were being challenged.

Yuhui is shown to be a very protective girlfriend. While being known as incredibly kind and gentle, she also has a very cold and scary side to her when she sees other women make a move on him. E.g. when she got to know of Seol's accident with Phi Sora, making her even pregnant, Yuhui became incredibly furious to the point of even wanting to kill her. Although, given her benevolent and merciful nature, she knew that she wouldn't actually do it. On a side note, unknown to Seol, Yuhui was already pregnant herself at that time which didn't surprise her as they never used protection. She'd planned to reveal it to him soon.

When she found out that Seol is destined to have a big harem, both of them tried everything they could to avoid it from happening. But they ultimately couldn't overcome the power of his fate, even when Yuhui used a divine wish to temporarily transform her boyfriend into a woman. They also got to know that in an alternative timeline, Seol used his divine wishes to go back a day many times to try to stay loyal to Yuhui. He fled to faraway places to avoid contact with his potential women, but still somehow ended up sleeping with them. He even went as far as sterilizing himself a few times, only to have somehow knocked up a woman yet again. But when he wanted to castrate himself in an act of desperation, Yuhui from that timeline begged him to stop and they finally gave up.

In the current timeline, Yuhui also resigns herself to Seol having a harem and would pat on his shoulders when he's able to cut down the originally 16 women down to half of that. However, Yuhui made it clear that she only accepts them under the condition that she becomes his main wife as well as his only lawfully wedded wife on Earth, since Korea doesn't permit polygamy.
