9 – Process for building up (2)
“Hey, dude. What are you so bruised about? Don’t you like chicken?”
I heard Seunghoon’s voice.
Siwoon, who had woken up from his thoughts, rolled his eyes and looked around.
A lot of chicken on the plate has been cut in half before I knew it.
Seeing Taehun looking at him quietly, Siwoon asked.
“Taehun. Are you making good money these days? But why are you dressed like that?”
“Does making money have anything to do with how you dress?”
Taehun said calmly and took a sip of beer.
No matter how much Shiwoon is a friend of Taehoon, his heart of jealousy and jealousy came up.
“Still, at your age, you earn hundreds of millions of won, but you want to wear nice clothes, buy a car, and wind up a watch like a Rolex, don’t you?”
For no reason, Siwoon raised his tone.
Taehun looked at the empty space beside him without a single change of expression.
‘I see,’ he replies.
“You can’t understand me.”
‘Are you serious? Kim Tae-hoon, that guy. I’ll have to read it with my own eyes.’
I read the body signal that appears on Taehun’s face.
‘No pupil change. No change in facial expression. It’s not a lie.’
At that time.
Seunghun tapped Shiwoon on the shoulder.
“But what are you planning to do next?”
“Hmm?”
“I must have been discharged. You’ll soon be in your mid-20s. Now you’ll have to get down to business. What are you going to do for a living?”
Siwoon paused for a while at Seunghoon’s question.
“I will prepare for the Hunter Qualification Test.”
“Hunter? No i heard wrong Are you a Hunter? You?”
Seunghoon smiled.
Siwoon frowned and took a sip of beer.
“I must see this year.”
“What? You’re not crazy It’s July now…. The Hunter exam is in November. In only 4 months, that difficult test… “
“I see.”
Siwoon cut off Seunghoon’s words and answered.
It is not a game without a chance if you pour your own amazing speed reading ability into your studies.
Hyeonchan looked at Siwoon with widened eyes in surprise.
“It’s more amazing that Siwoon decided to become a hunter than Taehoonie was dating a girl group member. Should it be?”
Hyeon-chan finishes talking by rubbing his bony cheeks, then turns his eyes back to the chicken on his plate and takes a bite of the chicken meat.
Seunghun said with a sneer.
“Do you think a guy with no knowledge in his head can become a hunter called God’s job after studying for a few months, seriously?”
“My friend does it. Let’s cheer them on instead of pinning them.”
Taehun said quietly.
“Okay…. Still.”
When Shiwoon speaks, he snorts, but immediately agrees to Taehoon’s words.
Even among his friends, Taehun’s position is this much.
Siwoon quietly rolled his eyes and looked at Taehun and asked.
“Taehun. Have you ever heard of speed reading?”
“I know.”
“I know…. Then, let me ask you something.”
Siwoon raises his voice seriously and adds.
“Let’s say you have the ability to speed-read a book in 3 minutes. If so, how would you feel if you applied it to your studies?”
“Um… ….”
Taehun pondered for a while.
“If you had the speed reading ability to read a book in 3 minutes, you would master the memorization subject at once. Why is that all of a sudden?”
“No….”
Seunghun asked Taehun while munching on chicken.
“No, speed reading just means reading a book quickly?”
“Yes. But even if you say speed reading, reading a book in 3 minutes is impossible.”
Siwoon’s eyes widened when he heard the word impossible.
‘I can do it.’
Hyunchan scratched her head.
Then she asked Siwoon again.
“What exactly is speed reading?”
When he said he didn’t understand English, instead of Siwoon, Taehun closed his eyes and explained.
“Type, reading a book quickly. Call it speed reading.”
“Ahh… ….”
Hyeonchan shakes his head as if he finally understands.
Seunghun snorts his nose and drinks all the beer.
“Hyeonchan has a harder head than Siwoon. I know speed reading.”
Taehun speaks quietly with his unique tone.
“Shiwoon-ah, whatever you decide to do, stick to your heart and work hard.”
“…… Okay.”
His shoulders hunch back.
At the encouragement of Taehun, who is attracting attention from all over the country, a feeling of shame and strange feelings arose.
Even at that position, Taehun had never once thrown away his arrogance or arrogance in front of his friends.
Siwoon wants to do at least one thing better than Taehun.
‘I don’t have to compete with my friends…. Kim Tae-hoon, I absolutely want to catch up with you at least once. This life is different. Because I have a special ability.’
Siwoon, an eternal ripper who constantly returns.
However, he was still unaware of it.
In the future,
What kind of situation and what kind of fate Tae-hoon and I will face in the other world.
***
The next day.
Siwoon went straight to the bookstore.
‘For now, I put all the books related to Hunters.’
I took out all the books I needed to study Hunter Studies as soon as I saw them.
The weight of all the books was enormous.
Then I went to the checkout and set it down on the counter.
“The total is 356,000 won.”
Shiwoon opens his wallet, takes out his check card, and pays.
‘Think of it as an investment for me.’
I came out carrying the heavy books with both hands.
The sun is shining, but the wind feels fresh today.
I just didn’t want to go home like this.
‘Now, when I go home, I’ll be locked up for months and just study.’
Walking the streets of the city.
Then I saw a coffee shop.
After entering the cafe, I ordered coffee and took a seat on the terrace with a clear view of the outside.
‘I should organize my thoughts while drinking a sweet cup of coffee… ….’
I gulped down the coffee in the mug and glanced at the people passing by.
It was refreshing to see the world with eyes different from the general public.
The expressions of the people passing by quickly caught his eye.
A person who walks down the street with his mouth shut, but feels lonely and alone.
Men and women are walking awkwardly, but they feel the excitement of each other and are strangely flirting.
Even those who have happiness written on their faces because something good has happened these days even though they are walking around with an expressionless expression.
Siwoon feels as if he has become a psychic himself.
‘It’s amazing… …. How did he get this skill?’
Sup.
I take another sip of coffee.
In my previous life, I was so frustrated and every day felt like hell.
I bumped into the wall of reality called study again, but it was different from before.
If these supernatural eyes….
Then, Cheon Se-jeong’s face comes to mind vaguely.
‘If I become her Hunter, will she be able to hug her?’
Siwoon stopped looking at someone for a moment.
To a man walking infrequently into the cafe.
He was a broad-shouldered man with a well-built black hat.
A black briefcase is in the man’s hand.
Strangely, however, the man was strangely conscious of her surroundings even before entering the cafe.
Obviously the man’s appearance was familiar.
‘Where did you see it? I’m sure he’s one-sided with me…….’
Siwoon’s eyes widened as he stared at his actions.
The man is seen entering the cafe and ordering coffee while looking at the ground without making eye contact with the waiter.
I thought he was a timid person, but his behavior was very suspicious.
‘I’m sure I saw that person somewhere…’
For men.
He was conscious of his surroundings and kept looking back.
“Ah!”
I finally remembered.
The moment I stopped by the local convenience store to buy cigarettes yesterday and was about to leave!
It was the person in the picture attached to the door of the convenience store.
In that leaflet, there were about 30 men with hideous impressions exposed as they were.
If he had been an ordinary person other than Siwoon, he would not have been able to remember a single face among so many people even if he glanced at the flyer.
When can I open the door and look through the flyers?
It’s only 1 second.
During that one second, Siwoon unconsciously scanned all of them with special eyes.
‘Then…… Let’s recall what was written on the wanted badge.’
In Si-woon’s mind, the wanted flyer appears in three dimensions.
Among the many men listed on the leaflet, the enlarged face of one comes to mind, and the contents written underneath unfold in the mind.
[Personal information]
Kim Sang-pyo (31 years old)
A sturdy physique with a height of 180 cm. A large mole under his right eye. The palms are broad and large.
Incident summary
`12.06.14
Fleeing after killing a woman at a bar in an entertainment establishment in Baekseok-dong, Gyeonggi-do.
Reward for reporting: 5 million won
‘Obviously! In addition, the reward for reporting is a whopping 5 million won.’
I threw away the coffee I had just bought and entered the cafe, thinking that I might be able to make some extra money.
‘Be careful. He’s a murderer…’
Siwoon might notice him if he approached him openly, or he could be in danger, so he carefully looked around for him, pretending to be looking for his companions.
The man wearing the black jjolti had a strong skeleton enough to create a sense of intimidation to others.
I also think that if we get into a fight by mistake, we could end up with a goal in one shot.
The koi tattoos full of majesty give a sense of incongruity to his skin.
‘Tattoo? Certainly not common people. But it’s not quite right yet. I need to check for a mole under the eye.’
The man in the hat did not raise his head easily, so his eyes were hard to see.
The moment the coffee the man ordered came out and he stood up.
His face caught Siwoon’s eyes.
Obviously there were large dark spots under his eyes.
It’s definitely in his right eye too.
‘That guy! Are you sure!’
Lee Si-woon’s eyes widened.
As I looked at the man like that, the eyes of the man and Siwoon sneakily met.
‘… !’
My heart jumped at the moment, and I naturally avoided his head as I felt my heart sink.
The feeling of meeting the eyes of the person who killed a person is truly indescribable.
I felt my hamstrings tingle and my spine shrinking.
‘I bet he didn’t even notice?’
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, Siwoon, who acted calmly and took out his cell phone from his pocket, acted while talking on the phone with someone.
“Uh~? Form. Where are you? No matter how much I search, I can’t find you Isn’t this a cafe?”
The man stared at Si-woon talking on the phone for a few seconds, then turned her head away as if he didn’t care.
Siwoon recognized that he hadn’t noticed and hurried out of the cafe.
‘Let’s report it quickly.’
She then quickly started typing ‘112’ on the dial of the cellphone she was holding.
Her moving fingers trembled.
Shiwoon covered his mouth with his left hand and spoke in a whisper.
“There is a police station. Here’s a guy wearing the same look you saw on the wanted suspect flyer.”
After the phone call, he sat back on the terrace and waited impatiently for the police.
I will never forget the moment I just met the killer.
Savage! Itself.
I keep swallowing my saliva in gulps.
‘Ha, the police will have to come before he finishes his coffee.’
It was then.
Surprised, Siwoon’s eyes widened.
