you

From the car to the hotel.

For some reason, Lee Ji-na and Nana became less talkative. The air was so heavy that it was hard to even rub against the collar.

I think the awkward atmosphere was the worst when entering the hotel lounge. Seeing that Lee Ji-ah, who bumped into her shoulder, widened the distance in amazement.

Is this an S-class hunter?

It was moving so fast that I thought it would.

I’m out of breath It’s like having five potato grains stuffed in your throat all the way to your stomach.

I checked the reservation first, leaving behind Lee Ji-ah, who was watching with an awkward exclamation, disregarding the fact that she had already been there a few times.

You might die of awkwardness when you enter the room. We just threw our luggage in the trunk and went outside.

“Ah, Hyunwoo.”

“yes?”

“I’ll just go get some bath products and leave.”

What, is there anything else like that?

“Then I will be on the balcony, so come over there.”

I want to breathe some cold air to ventilate my stuffy lungs. I walked to the balcony in the hallway.

You can see the stretch of the sea with a cool breeze.

I was leaning blankly on the railing, and the phone in my pocket vibrated.

[Super King Jia: Help me… .]

what? The way he was always confident had disappeared, and a timid man came here.

[Me: What’s going on?]

[Pawang Jia: Somehow, I ended up staying at a hotel with a friend, but I think I’m going to die because it’s awkward.]

[Me: I went with friends, but why is it awkward? Is there anything awkward about it?]

[Super King Jia: Because that friend is a friend of the opposite s*x!]

Huh, that’s a coincidence.

Me too. I wanted to ask you where to start. It’s awkward, but is there any solution?

[Me: Who suggested we go first?]

[Pawangjia: From the friend’s side.]

There was something similar to the situation I encountered, so I wanted to represent the male side.

[Me: It wasn’t that I was dragged away by force.]

[The King Jia: Uh huh… Is not it?]

[Me: Then don’t be conscious of it. That friend will also be uncomfortable.]

[The King Jia: Is that so… ?]

Of course.

I have no intention of doing that, but I’m going to die of embarrassment because Lee Ji-ah acts like a little red cloak that will be eaten at any moment.

I scratched my head and sighed as the window swung open. Lee Ji-ah trudged to the side. Then lean side by side against the railing and point with your finger.

“Hyun-woo, can you see over there?”

As I followed my gaze, I saw a crowd of people gathering. The vaguely visible attire was not for ordinary people. It seemed that they were the hunters holding the metal pieces that flashed in the sunlight one by one.

“The hot spring over there has a calming effect on the mind and body, so most of the hotels in this area are used as training camps.”

This is what I saw on the blog.

It’s not because of a simple feeling, it’s actually effective.

So it is said to be quite expensive.

“The prospects ahead of the hunter exam, if they want to see the cotyledons, they will collect money from the guild and take them.”

“Did Jia also come when you were a prospect?”

Lee Ji-ah shrugs her shoulders and makes a proud face.

“I was in a suite. I’ve lived here most of the time except for special occasions. It’s a little weird to say things like this, but do I have a mental problem?”

Depression and Paranoia.

It is her chronic mental illness.

“Then you must be quite familiar with this place, right?”

“I am used to it. So I tried to come here sometimes, but I was sorry to talk to Hyunwoo.”

“yes? What?”

“That’s right. It’s me who only goes out in the original form and that suits my personality, but Hyunwoo-san isn’t that kind of person… … .”

Lee Ji-ah was right.

Although I don’t like to run around outside.

He didn’t like it, though, that it was sticking to his knees to the point of getting moldy.

“I wonder if it’s right to lead someone who can only go anywhere because of me, because they have a place I want to go to… … What’s wrong with your face?”

“Yes? me? What?”

Lee Ji-ah opens her eyes.

“You were making a strange face right now!”

Did you?

He wiped his face and quickly managed his expression. I don’t have the feelings to show my age. She grunts as if her self-esteem is broken.

“Hyeon-woo seems to think of me like a younger person just looking at me.”

“I hope.”

It seems that the awkward atmosphere has been relieved quite a bit. When I glanced at Lee Ji-ah’s ears, it was still quite red.

you will be disappointed Anybody would be in a situation like this.

The reason I looked at Lee Ji-ah boldly was because I could see that she was trying to treat me as usual.

“… Thank you, Hyunwoo.”

“yes?”

“At first, I was so embarrassed that I didn’t say thank you.”

Lee Ji-ah leaned her chin against the railing and muttered.

“Thank you for caring, just.”

&

Shaking her wet hair, she passed the hot spring stand. Because it’s a beach, it’s getting dark, so the weather is quite chilly.

I went in and out of the hot spring, but I don’t know what’s good.

I’m tired, but that’s the same with the bathroom in front of my house.

Even before I woke up to peace of mind, I heard a lot from people around me that I was only strong mentally. Is it for that reason?

It doesn’t really mean much to me that it calms the mind and body.

She put the egg in her mouth and chewed it while waiting for Lee Ji-ah.

I checked the watch.

I took a shower inside, warmed my body in the hot spring, enjoyed the sauna, got a waterfall, and even got a massage, but the last time was only an hour.

Damn, we were supposed to meet in two hours.

I looked up at the night sky. Looking at the round full moon, the thoughts of Han Yoo-jung come to mind.

I picked up my cell phone and sent a text.

[Yoojung-ah, what are you doing? Have you eaten?]

Has it been 5 minutes? After a while, Han Yoo-jung did not receive a reply.

why no reply? He’s a kid who usually reacts like a knife… … .

Just when I was worried about what was going on, a text message came.

[ㅇUncle Text 😕]

[I just saw it. I’m sorry.]

It’s a typo. Are you very busy?

[Are you busy now?]

[I saw it late because I was out. I can text What are you doing? Please speak.]

The typing speed is really fast. Before I even counted three seconds, I got a reply.

[No, I was just worried about eating.]

[I ate that rice. I took a picture to show you, can you send it to me?]

[Photo]

Even before I could reply, a picture arrived from Han Yoo-jung. Chicken. Eating at night is especially good. While I was pressing my phone and writing a follow-up reply, I suddenly heard a nervous voice.

“Ah, what is it?”

I raised my head. The Taesan Guild prospects were looking at me with chewed faces.

ac?

He frowns his forehead because it’s not funny, so he turns his head in annoyance.

“Kim Hyun-woo?”

The Taesan guild manager looks at me curiously.

“Chief Song, haven’t you been cut yet?”

“This kid… .”

The angry manager wipes his face.

“… … We decided to take charge of the Hunter exam, okay?”

That gentleman is now just letting it go.

However, after listening to the manager, the situation was predictable.

In the end, it was cut.

However, if you leave right now, you’re just advertising that you’ve lobbied illegally.

“I guess you didn’t tell the company.”

Only the manager understood what I was saying. He nodded shakily.

Among the outsiders, only the manager and reporter Cho knew that I was the one who exposed the illegal lobbying case.

Maybe he didn’t tell the Taesan Guild, but there was a quiet reaction.

At the time, I don’t know what Han Yoo-jung was saying in the whole tone, but the manager was very atrophied.

“By the way, why do those people have that color of eyes?”

“What?”

“You always look at me like an enemy.”

He pointed at the manager’s back with a chin. Prospects gather together and stab me sharply with a spear-like gaze.

“Chief Song, did you tell the prospects?”

“… … If I say it, I’m going to get f*cked too, are you going to talk about it? You’re just killing time quietly and then you’re thinking of quitting, so you know how to insult the kids.”

The manager scratched his head angrily and disappeared.

I’m not a ssam chicken enough to fight with my eyes wide open.

I was trying to avoid the seat for fear of getting into an argument, but a prospect came forward. She was the oldest looking woman. Even if I say a lot, they look similar to me.

Are you sure it was me? I guess it was.

She said.

“I heard.”

heard?

“This time, you said that you were the one who fought each other with the association? Bastard Guild Kim Hyun-woo. Han Yu-jeong, manager in charge.”

oh

It was the other side of the story.

“Yeah, well, somehow.”

“How did you fight? What happened?”

Na-Jeong poked the sandy floor with her foot.

“because of you! U.S… !”

what? are you crazy? why all of a sudden?

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“You really don’t know?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know.”

You crazy crazy bastard.

I cry out in a low voice.

“Since you’re f*cking the association like that, you’re almost out of touch with a contract!”

“contract? What contract?”

“A contract that the association will fully support some promising youngsters! All cases of retaliation have been put on hold!”

Wait, the contract I’m talking about right now… .

“Are you talking about a contract that the association will promote it?”

As if I knew how, I opened my eyes wide and looked at him.

She soon nodded slightly.

no wonder.

I thought it was strange to hear the faces and names of those prospects around me these days.

In fact, the contract was just before it was signed, and I think the support had already been made.

laughter came out.

I wondered how the hard-nosed, top-notch prospects got all the way here with the guild support.

Was it like that?

“It’s not funny… .”

“what? What did you do now?”

“It’s not funny. These bastards.”

The eyes of the prospects are sharply slit.

like that or not.

They’re going to hit me here. What?

“Did you properly check the contract?”

“… … what? contract? Of course I saw it.”

“So I mean, did you understand and read everything properly?”

Prospective players close their mouths and roll their eyes like crazy.

I can see it even if I don’t hear the answer.

“If you understood the contract properly, you wouldn’t even think of it as a good opportunity.”

We will promote it, provide training and equipment support, so follow the compulsory mobilization order later.

This is a proposal that Han Yoo-jung had already received once.

I must have intentionally shortened it to the prospects.

The ending was obvious. What the association wants is to attack unfavorable dungeons. A high-risk dungeon that the guilds judged to be unsuitable.

I’m going to push it there.

That was postponed due to the public opinion battle between the Association and the Bastard Guild.

For the prospects, it was a lifetime of speaking.

“How old are you?”

“… … Twenty-five.”

He patted Nayeon’s shoulder.

“You and I are about the same age, but if we ate that much, let’s think about ourselves and live. If you go out, you are a member of society.”

That’s why everyone I meet ignores me because I’m young. Trying to avoid the seat, Na Jeong-yeon pulls her wrist roughly.

“Let’s listen to it from earlier, because we want to listen!”

Uh oh, my body was dragged while I was doing it.

“What do you think you’re so good at about being a manager at best?”

He waved his arms and tried to shake it off, but he couldn’t move.

He has a strong grasp on someone who is not a prospective hunter.

“Let go of this hand. What are we going to do now?”

“What if I can’t let go? will you report it? Are you holding my wrist?”

Na Jeongyeon smiles with an energetic smile.

Because I’m angry, I can’t fight my temper, so I push myself with force.

“Don’t regret it later, get your hands on it quickly… … .”

“what?”

A familiar voice is heard.

Me and the prospects turned their heads.

At night, a woman in sunglasses was standing.

The outfit was a bit suspicious, but I recognized it at a glance.

That’s right, because it was Lee Ji-ah.

She crossed her legs and gave her a crooked gaze.

“I don’t think we’re joking with each other because we know each other… … It’s ridiculous.”

Lee Ji-ah said with a smirk.

“Hey, won’t you let go of that hand? it’s crazy?”
