Han Yoo-jung, who should be at home, stood tall with a white face.

“Yoojung, are you okay?”

Sweat is dripping from his forehead as if he had just jumped, and his breathing is heavy.

Are you sick? My complexion is so bad I’m worried that I might have caught a cold. He wiped his forehead with a towel and applied his powers to Han Yoo-jeong.

Blood flows on the cheeks.

Even though I didn’t ask, Han Yoo-jung stuttered and made excuses.

“He was alone at home.”

“uh? Ah, yes.”

“It suddenly became night and I got scared… The second exam is just around the corner, so I’m training… … No, because the hot springs here are effective… .”

“What? Calm down and speak slowly. Because it’s okay.”

Has he ever been so upset?

“That’s it, so… .”

Han Yoo-jung, who closed her eyes tightly, said abruptly.

“My wife, you are a thousand-year-old!”

“A thousand dead?”

“Yeah, it’s all because of the death penalty!”

I kept whispering next to me, ‘It’s because of my mortal nature,’ but I didn’t understand it.

I checked the date on my phone.

“It’s Saturday, isn’t it today?”

Isn’t this the time when the Thousand Deaths are rampant?

Except for Sunday, he was able to work normally. So I came here with Lee Ji-ah with peace of mind.

“As the week goes by, the urge gets stronger.”

“Is not it.”

“I think it may have grown a little bit. My heart has been shaky since my uncle left… .”

Han Yoo-jung glanced at me and grabbed my heart.

“Just, when I’m alone, I have bad thoughts and my impulses keep getting stronger… .”

“What?”

The death penalty is different from Lee Ji-ah’s depression.

If she could not resist the urge and committed murder, the future of Han Yoo-jung would be bleak.

If caught, that was a problem, and Han Yoo-jung herself felt a strong sense of guilt.

Frustrated, he grabbed Han Yoo-jeong’s cheeks and asked worriedly.

“Are you okay? Did something happen?”

Han Yoo-jeong gently raises the corners of her mouth and nods her head.

“Yeah, I’m fine because my uncle used my abilities.”

“Mistress, Yoojung-ah, I’m really sorry… .”

He hugged Han Yoo-jung in her arms and patted her on the back. It was only now that I understood what was white and white.

How much guilt and murder must I have suffered in one day, how can I feel so relieved as soon as I see my face?

When I was with Lee Ji-ah and enjoyed a rest on a travel destination without knowing anything, what kind of heart was holding on to Han Yu-jeong at home?

Thinking about it like that, I couldn’t even look at my face.

“no. I’m fine, uncle. It’s the first time.”

Rather, seeing Han Yoo-jung comforting her makes me feel more and more nauseous. Once inside the hotel room.

Lee Ji-ah with her arms crossed was staring at him. Han Yoo-jung bowed her back and greeted her. Lee Ji-ah tilted her head slightly.

His eyebrows are wrinkled, and he looks like he doesn’t like something.

I said scratching my head.

“Jia, I’m sorry. I should have taken care of everything.”

“… yes?”

Lee Ji-ah, startled, shakes her head.

“No, it’s not like that. I have something to think about… … .”

“Then I’m happy. Oh, and maybe.”

He whispered softly so as not to be heard by Han Yoo-jung.

“Is Yoojung going to wear underwear?”

“Oh, no.”

I was just asking just in case.

Why is Lee Ji-ah holding Han Yoo-jung’s underwear?

“I don’t think he even brought a change of clothes, but something has happened… … .”

Even if it’s just pajamas, I have to pack my underwear and clothes to wear tomorrow.

I approached Han Yoo-jeong, who was looking around the hotel as if it were a strange one.

“Yoojung, let’s go outside for a while.”

“yes? Where are you going?”

“inside… … .”

Are you too direct?

turned the horse

“Buy clothes. I wouldn’t have brought a change of clothes.”

After washing, we changed into outdoor clothes.

I went to a nearby store with Han Yoo-jung and Lee Ji-ah. It’s clothes, I chose them appropriately, but I couldn’t do that with underwear.

A mannequin in lingerie is standing from the entrance, but the women’s underwear store was too crowded for men to enter.

It’s impossible for Yoojung to choose her underwear and watch her from the side.

I went into the cafe right across the street.

I took a drink and looked around. All seats are full. Is it because it’s near the hotel? I went up to the third floor and was forced to go outside, but I saw a familiar face in the corner.

“Kim Hyun-woo?”

“Chief Song? We see each other often today.”

The Taesan Guild Manager nodded with a shaky face. He looked around for a moment, then sat down in front of him.

The manager nervously scratches his head.

“I don’t think we should be humble.”

“I don’t have a seat.”

I don’t know when Lee Ji-ah and Han Yu-jeong will come out, but standing outside and waiting incessantly hurts my legs.

Perhaps my words were ridiculous, the manager smirks.

“But do you want to drink coffee with the person you fought with?”

“It’s okay because I don’t care about things like this.”

“I’m not okay, get off.”

“I haven’t seen your face once or twice, so don’t do that. I’ll be there in a little while. In lieu of the price I got back then. I also took the diagnosis.”

The manager wrinkles the back of his nose and wipes his face. They make a lot of tea that I don’t like, but there was something I wanted to ask.

“Chief Song, how many years have you had?”

“… … .”

“The price of ソー─”

“Seven years. I worked at the Taesan Guild all the time without changing jobs. Are you okay?”

You’ll get a little bit upset.

It’s not because you’re going out on your own, you’re being kicked out of the company.

So, the stinging words were passed on insignificantly.

Even if it were me, my hands would have been itching because I wanted to hold you by the neck.

I asked, moistening my lips with the smoothie.

“You prospects, did you know that you almost signed a slave contract with the association?”

“… … From whom did you hear that?”

“I’m planning. You didn’t even ask, did you drink by yourself?”

‘Stupid bitch’, manager crosses his arms and swears.

“Why? What are you curious about?”

“… … If the manager had been in his 7th year of experience, he would have obviously known that the contract would be a bad contract.”

It was Han Yoo-jung’s contract, so I checked it carefully, but I, as a new manager, recognized it at a glance.

Taesan Guild should have reviewed everything through the legal team. A senior manager would not have known anything about the contents of such a contract.

Who is taking the hunters to the negotiating table with the association right now?

So I had a question.

“Contract, why didn’t you close it?”

“What?”

“It’s a contract. I’m sure the association will leash them later, so why didn’t they stop me? When I’m working as a manager, the hunters in charge pay a lot… … .”

The manager laughs as if it’s ridiculous.

“Are you kidding me? I’m not the team leader, so how do I prevent a manager from doing this at the company level?”

“If you think about the future of Hunters… .”

“I wondered if it was this person who digs traps and rolls their heads, but this was completely innocent?”

pure boy?

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard such a thing.

“If I had to overturn a contract like this every time I saw it and fight with the team leader, I would have been cut long ago. is not it?”

“But, considering the hunters in charge, shouldn’t you at least tell us about the contract? Are there many ways? If they tell you secretly that they won’t sign a contract… … .”

“why?”

The manager shrugs.

“Why do you have to do that to the Hunters? If the contract is breached, the team leader will probably urge me to convince me.”

“… … yes?”

for a moment.

Then, the only thing left unattended until the contract was concluded,

“You mean you didn’t want to hear what you crave?”

“uh. Got a problem?”

I get dizzy at the confident manager’s reaction.

I wish I was in the manager’s position and Han Yoo-jung was there.

Perhaps I would have protected him even after fighting the team leader.

“Don’t be shy.”

The manager laughed and drank coffee.

“These guys are leaving the company early and doing other jobs. You bump into your direct boss and fight? Are you kidding me? I think you are mistaken because you are a manager in a place where you work hard, but all salaried workers are the same.”

“Still, the feeling of being in charge of being in charge… … .”

“Let’s help.”

He leaned his upper body towards me. Like a senior who gives a lesson to a distant junior, he brings out the story as if it were a slur.

“If you go out of your way, what do you think your manager will be like?”

“The person in charge will be changed or cut off.”

“A Hunter?”

“Hunter, what… .”

I will do my job and live.

“I’m going to get a new manager and continue my life as it is. until you pull it out. In the end, it’s only the manager who gets f*cked. But do you think they’ll thank you? But why do I have to fight for the Hunters?”

Is this the relationship between an ordinary hunter and a manager?

I understood why everyone I met was amazed at me and Han Yoo-jung.

Because to me, Han Yoo-jung felt more like a younger brother to protect than a hunter to be in charge of as a manager.

Personal relationships took precedence over personal relationships.

“If I had known, would my friends have accepted it as good? There’s no such thing as a good contract if you don’t lose to the association. The association won’t roll with the intention of killing it either.”

“I do not know. It doesn’t look like it would be like that.”

“That’s because you belong to the Bastard Guild. You can’t do that unless you’re going to fight the Taesan Guild.”

Still, it’s the same with the leash.

The relationship with the association has already become irreversible, but even if it was a good relationship, I would never have accepted the contract.

It’s not money, it’s your life being mortgaged.

Even if you go back a little, it’s better to arrive late.

“… … I had a brief quarrel with the prospects from there.”

“If you want to ask, check directly with the company. What are you going to do when you tell someone you’re going to quit anyway?”

“I don’t mean to ask. The prospect told me that. Only on the manager’s subject, he said.”

only manager.

It was the first time I heard such a word from Hunter’s mouth, so I was a little shocked.

And at the same time, I had a question.

“Aren’t half of the guild representatives from managers? Influential managers are said to have a stronger breath than most hunters.”

“Is not it.”

“I want to know what is the difference between me and those people. I was curious about that.”

The manager takes a deep breath.

It was a look on the face that I had to explain.

“That’s the difference between the hunters in charge.”

“What’s the difference between Hunter?”

“The reason you were ignored is because you are the manager who is in charge of a new recruit named Han Yu-jeong. If you were in charge of Lee Ji-ah from the same guild, it would have been completely different.”

Lee Ji-ah’s words come to mind. If you work with her, you won’t have to go anywhere and bow your head. It is said to be the position of the former rather than the . I’m sure you said that.

“It’s a way to show off better to the chief of the secretary who handles the actual work.”

What happened to this guy’s industry, the more he sold steadily, the more he was selling, not technical skills, but only politics and blackmail.

In the end, it meant that unless Han Yoo-jeong reached a certain position, she would often end up being like a beggar.

It is a story that takes your breath away.

I looked at the manager’s hand.

“Where are you hurt?”

“What?”

“Hand. You’re wearing a bandage.”

The manager looked at his hand and thought.

And after a while he opened his mouth again.

“… … You asked, so let me ask you one thing.”

“You tell me.”

“Han Yoo-jung, how are you with me?”

Yoojung?

“It’s good. My heart is so soft, I worry about whether I will be able to become a Hunter.”

“… ?”

“He’s blunt, but that’s because of his personality, and when we get along, I know how affectionate and kind he is.”

“Girl.”

The manager listens to me with a bizarre face and then suddenly swears at me.

“How many hunters I have encountered while working are so creepy… … .”

“mister.”

Han Yoo-jeong approaches the manager’s shoulder.

“I picked them all.”

“What about Jia?”

“I’m waiting downstairs. Do you need to talk more?”

The manager was mechanically dumping sugar cubes into the coffee. However, the number that was put in only for a brief moment is the seventh. The tongs go into the barrel again.

Are you drinking coffee, are you drinking sugar?

I said to the manager who seemed to have lost his soul somewhere.

“Chief, I have work to do, so I’ll get up first.”

He nodded his head slightly. We went back to the hotel.

&

“Uncle, I washed everything.”

“okay?”

Lee Ji-ah and Han Yoo-jeong washed first, and then Kim Hyun-woo went into the bathroom last.

Shoot aah

water splashing.

Lee Ji-ah leaned her back on the bed and glanced at Han Yoo-jung. I was gently drying my hair with a hair dryer. The girl, who was usually blunt, hummed a small hum about what was so exciting.

Lee Ji-ah looked at her phone and fell into thoughts. Doubts keep piling up.

After drying her hair, Han Yoo-jung laid a pillow on the bed. Then he took out the game console from the shadows and pressed the button.

Coincidentally, the position of lying down was between Lee Ji-ah and Kim Hyeon-woo. center of the bed.

Lee Ji-ah was aware of Kim Hyeon-woo in the bathroom and called Han Yoo-jeong a little.

“Yoojung, I have a question for you. Even if I try to remember, there is something I don’t understand.”

“What?”

“I don’t remember saying it either, and I think Hyeonu probably wouldn’t have said it either. You usually just say where you go to play when you travel?”

Lee Ji-ah licked her lips.

“How do you know the name of the hotel and the lake?”

Han Yoo-jung’s hand, which was pressing the button, stopped. momentary silence. She moved her hand again and opened her mouth.

“A coincidence.”

“by chance?”

“Yes, by chance.”

Lee Ji-ah smirked.

*

The next day, Han Yu-jeong went to the hot springs together.

It doesn’t seem like it would have much effect on the death penalty, but I thought it would be better than not doing it.

I usually struggled a lot because of guilt.

Some people spend a long time in the outdoor sauna, drink sikhye together after finishing, and walk along the promenade while looking at the sea because the beach is nearby.

After all, it was time to check out and return to the hotel.

in the car on the way home.

Fully stretched out, Han Yoo-jeong was nodding with her head leaning against the window in the back seat.

He looked at his sleeping face in the rearview mirror. There are no angels I feel the gaze from the side. Lee Ji-ah was staring intently.

“Jia, why are your eyes like that?”

“How are my eyes?”

Lee Ji-ah’s question reminded me of the detective drama I watched every weekend. The investigative chief who came out there had just that kind of eyes.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but first of all, I’m not.”

“Mr. Hyunwoo.”

“yes?”

Lee Ji-ah lowered her voice and asked.

“It’s not my story, but if a high school student confesses to Hyeonu.”

This is a very obvious pattern of questions.

“Jia, did you get a confession from a high school student?”

“No, I’m going to confess that I’m dating someone out there.”

It is not.

But what’s the question?

“I say that the kid really likes Hyeonu.”

“Are you in high school?”

“yes.”

Without realizing it, I looked at Han Yoo-jung through the rearview mirror. A child the same age as Han Yoo-jung? I can’t imagine

A maximum of 9 years and a minimum of 7 years.

Considering how old I am based on my age, it was hard to see him as a romantic partner.

And vice versa.

“Then, will Hyun-woo accept the confession?”

“Is it because I really like what adults like at that age? It’s just likable, loving, and confusing. If you take it in a hurry, you’ll get in trouble later.”

Lee Ji-ah mutters blankly.

“… … A friend is a friend.”

“yes?”

“No, Yerim said something similar.”

“Isn’t it the same for most of you, not just me and Yerim?”

“is it? Then, Hyun-woo, won’t you accept the confession?”

“Absolutely.”

Oh, that bastard drives a f*cking car. He changed lanes without blinking and then turned on the hazard lights in front of me and warped. I’m hot If you want to follow, do you search alone? I’m driving a one-ton tank, so what if I issue licenses to these assholes?

The answer came late because I was concerned about the reckless driving of the car in front.

“By the way, well.”

“… yes?”

“I don’t know if you really want to be in a heavenly relationship. Couples with a large age gap are common these days. I don’t know if it’s good until I’m an adult.”

let’s see

If I’m the same age as Han Yoo-jung, would I be twenty-one when I was 30?

When I calculate it like that, it feels very big.

“Then I will live with you.”
