ALL THE WAY FROM 77 TO 121 HERE WE GO. However I will be kind and just summarize each arc event. I lied, it's still long (a lot happened okay).
( never wait almost 50 chapters again )
All that emotional rush and relief is going to kick him back into Empatheias WELCOME BACK BRO.
Updated Personality:
While Hak's overall personality hasn't changed, there are a few key developments that have happened over the past 44 chapters. One of the biggest changes is how Hak views the dragon warriors. Before, he just thought of them as a bunch who accompanied Yona and didn't put as much stock or trust in them to protect. It had always been his duty and he had always seen himself as the one to be the most responsible for her. He still believes that, but he does place a lot more trust and faith in the five dragons. Where before he would feel wary if he were not by Yona's side, now he can leave it to any of the dragons and believe in them. This is most evident in the recent chapters when Yona and Lili were kidnapped by Sei. As pointed out by Mundok and Han-dae, it would seem that Hak now considered them like friends or even family—although he would deny it. Regardless, he knows he can trust in them and is grateful for their help, especially when he thinks about what if they had still been alone. He had no one to rely on, but now he does.
In regards to Soo-won, it's been a roller coaster for him. The first "reunion" had sent him into an uncontrollable rage. Contrast it to the most recent Sei arc (roughly 30 chapters later) to where Hak still feels that rage, yet he is able to overcome it. The main reason is Yona. He still has that personal grudge and hatred for Soo-won, but it's also abated a bit by Yona's own testament that she is fine. That Soo-won does not bother her as much as before. Knowing that Yona is all right helps Hak shave off some of that hatred since a lot of it did involve how Soo-won cast Yona aside. And despite that tension between them, the two can still read each other's minds and work together for a greater purpose. There is still some "faith" in each other's actions at least. It's the only reason why he knew and understood what Soo-won was about to do when it came to Lili. In addition, Hak knew Soo-won was there, but instead he focuses on Lili and Yona.
Finally, the development with Yona. Or lack of obvious development. Most of it has been on Yona's side, and Hak just remains dense as ever. However, the moments where his true feelings for the girl make their way known are increasing and becoming more meaningful each time. He said he wouldn't play "jokes" on her anymore with those teasings, but he still gives her a kiss before fighting the soldiers in Kinshuu. There is also the pendant she gives him, which he wears and holds onto. His initial feelings for her haven't wavered—if anything they've deepened. So much so that he can't help but hug Jae-ha in relief when he reports that they found Yona and that she's safe. In addition, and as touched on before, Hak is also allowing himself a little more freedom in regards to his responsibility over Yona. He'll still consider himself at the top, but he can at least feel more comfortable when she's in the others' hands.
Updated Abilities: None.
Other: Coming in a bit battered, but he'll have that pendant and will need—wait, actually his spear will still be in Emp so that works, but he initially won't have his weapon.
Questions: None, just a note that he'll be back on the 4th.
