6 – The childhood friend who dumped me [EPISODE – 0]

S-class hunters, Inari is in 4th place among them.

Her name is Inari, she has a pretty appearance with golden hair, and I’ve known her since childhood.

When I was little, when my parents were still alive, I knew Inari’s parents for a bit.

Maybe because of that, I used to play with Inari and her parents when they met.

When I was playing like that, I didn’t know what kind of girl Inari was at the time, but I slowly started to get to know her from the moment I entered elementary school.

The longer my relationship with Inari grew, the more I realized that Inari was an unusual woman.

Unlike me, the eldest son of an ordinary family, Inari was the owner of a well-to-do family with a company well known in the country.

Since childhood, she has been very popular with men because of her blonde hair and outstanding looks.

And she’s also smart, so she’s always ranked first in the school and even has a good personality, so to put it in a word, she’s a perfect mom.

And I fell in love with Inari like that.

I’ve always liked Inari for being nice to me.

The unrequited love lasted quite a while, and lasted for 10 years, until the year I turned 17.

Originally, I would have waited that long, but unfortunately it was time for me to drop out of Hunter Academy.

So I couldn’t wait any longer.

For some reason, I felt like I would regret it if I didn’t express my feelings right now, even if I had lost, so I decided to confess to Inari and put it into practice.

“Nari-ya. I like you so much. Would you like to go out with me…?”

In the past, when I was 17, I confessed to Inari.

While giving a bouquet of flowers, I bowed my head to Inari and wanted her to hang out with me.

The feeling of being friends for 10 years suddenly became love, and I wanted to be a romantic relationship instead of a childhood friend.

So I mustered up the courage to confess…

After all, a man’s first love doesn’t seem to come true.

“Ahaha… Siwoo liked me…”

Nari’s expression darkened after hearing my words.

He looked at me and smiled awkwardly.

It seemed like he was trying to not spoil the atmosphere as much as possible.

“But I’m sorry, but what about this… Shi… Siwoo. It’s not that I hate you… I like you too…”

I didn’t move, but I kept taking the posture of handing over the bouquet with my head down.

No matter how much time passed, the bouquet I held was never accepted.

Inari didn’t accept the bouquet from me, just stared at me as I bowed my head.

“…”

I had no choice but to intuit.

The fact that my confession won’t come true…

“I’m sorry. Siwoo. I’ve never had such thoughts with you…”

And that intuition did not go astray.

Inari cautiously expressed her intention to refuse to me.

“I see…”

After hearing Inari’s answer, I raised my head.

Hiding his miserable feelings, he pretended to be fine.

Of course it wasn’t ok…

“I’m so sorry, Siwoo. If it’s you, you’ll definitely find a good girlfriend. Not a girl like me…”

Inari lowered her head and comforted me.

It seems that she thought it was the best consideration for her own way.

“No… I’m really fine.”

That kind of consideration hurt me even more, but I pretended nothing was wrong as much as possible.

I hid the bouquet behind my back and smiled saying it was okay.

“I still refuse to confess, but will we be friends forever?”

Seeing my expression, Inari sighed in relief.

And he smiled kindly again.

“Yes. Nariya…”

So I was dumped by my first love and left.

‘But after a while, it’s a good memory.’

It was definitely very sad at the time.

The memory of my first love is so intense, there is a memory that I did not want to give up.

However, in the end, it seems that time is the medicine for all emotions.

After that, I met Yoo Eun-ha, and fortunately, the wound quickly healed.

It’s been a long time since I gave up my feelings for Inari.

At the time, I didn’t think we would be able to remain as good friends, but it came true.

As Inari said, we became good friends and that has continued to this day.

“Can I sit here?”

“Do what you want.”

Inari asks me with a smile.

After drinking a glass of wine, I answered calmly.

After hearing my answer, Inari sat across from me.

“It’s really a coincidence, isn’t it? Are we seeing our faces like this for the first time in six months?”

“Yeah what.”

After Inari filled my beer glass, she also filled her own beer glass.

He carefully took a sip and smiled pleasantly.

Even though it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other as childhood friends, our relationship isn’t awkward.

“What’s wrong? You looked really happy earlier.”

“Umm… I subdued the B-level gate.”

And with a slightly reddened face, he asked me a question.

I proudly showed Inari the magic stone I obtained from defeating the B-rank dungeon.

“Wow…! That’s amazing.”

“Haha. I was lucky.”

“But still. It would have been difficult to subdue even a B-class alone, but you’re quite strong, right?”

“Ah. What can only you do? I often see it in the news these days, and I heard that it went up to the 4th place in the S class? I heard the stock price is very high these days?”

“Hehehe. It happened that way.”

In a friendly atmosphere, we exchanged good wishes with each other.

“Siwoo. So, did you completely quit the manager job?”

In the meantime, Inari asked me a curious question.

“Why are you suddenly a manager?”

“No… Just. They said they broke up… I’m just asking. I don’t mean anything else.”

“Well, of course I quit my manager job. I’m going to return to Hunter from now on.”

“Eh? As a Hunter?”

“yes.”

I answered honestly.

Because it wasn’t something to hide.

And while the manager job of an S-class hunter is a dream job if you can do it, it’s never easy to get.

“Ah. What is…”

“Why are you disappointed?”

“I’m not disappointed.”

Hearing my answer, I think I saw a slightly disappointed look on Inari’s face.

Inari denied my question.

“Anyway, it’s surprising? I thought you’d never work as a hunter again.”

When I stared at Inari suspiciously, Inari hurriedly turned away.

“Didn’t he say he’s currently ranked 7th in S-rank? The guy who kicked you out of the party for being useless… you mean.”

And in the past, when I was active as an A-class, I mentioned something.

“Ah… Park Seo-eun?”

I immediately knew who Inari was talking about.

When I was active as an A-class hunter, if I were to be the only party member who kicked me out, he would be the only one.

I remember retiring from Hunter because of that.

And when I retired, I said that I would never do anything like Hunter again.

“It’s all in the past. Well, come now.”

But now, it’s just a memory of the past.

At that time, I was obviously overwhelmed with emotions and said I would never do it again, but it was a few years ago, and the memories and emotions of that time had long since been diluted.

If I don’t do this in the first place, I can’t help it because I don’t have a deserved punishment.

“That’s right. Thank goodness.”

Inari smiled at me as if she was relieved.

“Siwoo. I have a lot of things I want to say. Then, shall we have a drink together after a long time? Do you want to go for a second party? I’ll shoot.”

And while I was about to eat snacks, Inari noticed that the snacks had run out and made me an offer.

“Hmm… no. It’s okay.”

I declined Inari’s offer.

Originally, I would have welcomed free alcohol, but now I was not at all happy.

Right now, I am immune to all abnormal conditions, but since earlier, no matter how much I drank, I didn’t get drunk.

So now alcohol was just bitter water.

So I didn’t want to drink any more.

“And wouldn’t it be better to go in early? No matter how childhood friends you are, your boyfriend will definitely be worried about you, right?”

And there is one more reason for my refusal. Inari has a boyfriend in the first place.

After being dumped by Inari in the past, I dated Yoo Eun-ha, who was in F-rank at the time.

Around the same time, I heard that Inari also had a boyfriend.

Since I dated Yoo Eun-ha for 7 years, Inari probably dated for a similar amount of time.

I don’t know what the personality of such a boyfriend is, but if it was a boyfriend, it was clear that his girlfriend would oppose drinking with a man other than himself.

When I was dating Yoo Eun-ha, I didn’t let him drink with other men either.

“It’s already past 12 o’clock, so don’t worry too much about your boyfriend and go home early.”

I looked at the clock on my smartphone.

It is already past 12 o’clock.

It was time for us to part.

“Aha… that’s right. If my boyfriend finds out, it’ll be a big deal…”

Inari makes a sad expression and smiles shyly.

I got up from my seat.

Inari also stood up with me.

“Yeah. You’ve been dating your boyfriend for over 7 years, right? Even though I broke up with you, don’t break up with me.”

“Ugh… ok…”

“I’m going. See you next time I have a chance.”

“Yes. Siwoo. Goodbye.”

Before parting with Inari, I gave my own kind words and headed home.
