113 – The Equation of Love (5)
It may be a bit out of the blue, but Park Kyu-seong contacted me.
The reason for contacting us is simple. It sounds like you want to share a story. A story related to Seoyoon.
‘…… Ha.’
To be honest, meeting Park Gyu-seong alone is a bit awkward.
No, it’s quite embarrassing. It was obvious that he would think badly of me for becoming the lover of Seo-yoon, who had a crush on him for a long time. From Park Kyu-sung’s point of view, I would hate him quite a bit. Maybe it’s because he has a dark feeling of ill-feeling.
Park Kyu-seong is an A-ranked member of the signature clan.
He is the ace of one clan, so he has considerable skills.
And he has a lot of practical experience from subjugating monsters for a long time.
What if Park Gyu-seong harbors malice and does strange things?
It is clear that you will be f*cked with vulgar words.
‘Of course, I don’t think Park Gyu-seong will do anything really strange.’
I shrugged my shoulders and thought of Park Kyu-sung’s personality.
He is friendly and has a kind personality.
He’s unlikely to do anything useless.
However, the human mind is not as rational as one might think.
f*ck it then. Isn’t there a case of assaulting a person for making eye contact while walking on the news all the time, reporting it as s*xual harassment for being in a bad mood, and committing a revenge murder for speaking inappropriately?
It is always necessary to be prepared for an emergency.
‘By the way. To be honest, I feel a little sorry for Park Gyu-seong…….’
I let out a deep sigh and felt a little guilty.
Park Kyu-sung’s situation was a bit pitiful.
The fact that the girl she has liked for a long time is dating another man is bound to hurt her heart in many ways.
If I were in Park Kyu-sung’s position, I would have been really upset.
“Ah. Mr. Seojun.”
At that time. As I was sitting in a cafe chair and lost in thought, a man’s voice tapped my ear. It was the voice of a slightly familiar man. He had a good volume and tone, so I suddenly thought that women might like it.

When I slightly turned my head, a warm-looking handsome man was glancing at me.
This is Park Gyu-seong, a childhood friend of Seo-yoon, whom he promised to meet at the cafe.
“Hello, Mr. Kyu-seong.”
I said hello slowly.
I took a quick look at Park Kyu-sung’s body.
It was a neat outfit, but the fit was alive.
He’s tall, broad-shouldered, handsome…….
I felt it every time I saw him, but he really looks like a character in a drama. Shall we say that he is a model of a talented young man from a rich family? I have no choice but to know why Park Kyu-sung is so popular with women.
“Seo, could it be Park Gyu-seong?”
“Wow! I am a real fan.”
The sudden appearance of Park Kyu-sung made the whole cafe go wild.
It was like watching famous celebrities and their fans.
All eyes were focused on Park Gyu-seong, whether it be part-timers, customers, or women.
The voices of fussy people pounded in my ears.
“Oh my gosh, look how handsome…… Nice aaa…….”
“Should I ask for an autograph?”
“By the way, who is that person over there?”
“Huh? Where do you think you saw it?”
The focus was on me sitting with Park Kyu-sung. Papak! I felt the piercing eyes. Can you recognize me I’ve become a bit famous these days too.
“Huh? Isn’t that Han Seo-jun?”
“Han Seo-joon? Are you sure they look alike?”
“Han Seo-joon, who only gets along with S-rank girls?”
No, what?
Why did rumors about me spread like that?
Aside from that, don’t you have some nice words? However, people only whispered that he was a person who only revealed women on a subject without ability.
To be honest, I was hurt a little.
“Seojun. Certainly, people’s attention is a bit of a concern in cafes.”
“Oh, yes.”
“However, it is understandable that Mr. Seojun chose this place as the meeting place. It must be a bit uncomfortable to be alone with me out of sight.”
Park Kyu-seong glanced sideways at the people who were spying on him, then quietly sat down. As he said, being with Park Kyu-seong in a place where there were no people was a little uneasy. However, simply because of that, it was by no means the choice of a cafe with so many people as a meeting place.
“That’s not why I chose this place as my meeting place.”
Why did I choose this place as my meeting place?
The reason is simple. Because I have work to do here. Meeting Park Kyu-seong here was for the sake of an emergency. If things go wrong, just the fact that Park Gyu-seong is here will make him a reliable ally.
‘Is there an hour left?’
I checked the time with a peek.
There is only an hour left.
It’s not a big deal for me to do here.
Monster Hunt. I plan to kill the monsters that will appear here.
Through dreams of the future, I know what will happen here today.
My memory is a bit hazy, but there’s a high probability that a monster will appear here.
‘I simulated it in my head several times and asked for advice from Jihyun and Seoyoon. I can handle it alone, but…….’
I cautiously turned my gaze to look at Park Kyu-seong. Park Gyu-seong is an A-ranked talent. If so, it will be of great help.
‘It would be better to have insurance. I don’t have a lot of combat experience.’
I have had various experiences through dreams of the future, but it is only an experience in a dream. Dreams and reality are different. So, insurance is a must, just in case.
‘I’m going to use Park Gyu-seong one-sidedly, but first of all, I’m meeting Park Kyu-seong at his request, so wouldn’t this be fine?’
I cast a self-justification in my mind. It wouldn’t be too dangerous for someone as skilled as Park Gyu-seong anyway. Knowing what kind of monsters appeared in the dream, I was able to make the decision lightly. And hunting monsters is a hunter’s duty, right? I hope you don’t think too badly because you’re subduing monsters for people.
‘Anyway, I want to warn people that a monster will appear…….’
I shook my head.
Because there’s no way he’d believe it if he told me in advance.
Perhaps it could be treated like a lunatic.
Also, the contents of dreams are not always 100% accurate.
What if I tell people and the monster doesn’t appear?
I don’t have the confidence to take care of that.
‘There are many CCTVs here and there are many witnesses, so if we properly subdue the monster this time, we can put an end to the controversy that Ji-hyeon was able to join the clan because of her personal connections, right?’
Are you finally able to escape from the nickname of E-rank porter?
I want to raise my hunter rank by looking at the promotion review, but my performance was too lacking.
After conquering the secret dungeon on the 4th floor, it was inevitable because I only received training at the Clan House.
Jihyuni, Seoyuni, and Yerin said that the more powerful the ability, the higher the possibility of becoming a target.
And to the present day, it has surpassed the powers they mentioned.
With this much power, it’s okay to be known to the media.
“I asked to meet you here, but it’s a little too much to talk to.”
“Oh, don’t worry.”
Park Kyu-seong smiled as if to be relieved.
Then he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, an intangible barrier enveloped the two of us.
It is a type of barrier that cannot be discerned with the naked eye by ordinary people.
This is it? I have a memory of an experience in the past.
It is sound blocking magic. It has the effect of blocking sound from a certain distance. A while ago, Yerin used it. I scratched my chin. Park Gyu-seong can even use magic. It was a simple magic, but quite practical.
“I used the sound suppression magic. People won’t be able to hear our conversation.”
“Oh, I see. It’s good.”
I want to learn that magic too.
But Jihyun said, ‘You’re an idiot. You don’t have any talent for magic, so just give up,’ she dismissed. A bit bittersweet When I asked Seoyoon, she only laughed awkwardly. Yerin broke out in a cold sweat and averted her eyes.
“The reason why I asked to see Seojun…… You will probably be able to predict it.”
“Yes. It must be something related to Seoyoon, right?”
At the word, Seoyoon, Park Gyu-seong slightly shook her shoulders, but she soon calmed down and nodded her head slowly.
“Of course, it could be a bit strange for Seo-joon. What did I dare to say about having a meeting with Seoyoon like this?”
Park Kyu-seong put on a slightly bitter expression, as if he hadn’t been absurd even thinking about it himself. He deserved it. Park Kyu-seong and Seo Yoon-yi are just strangers. It’s not something to talk about. It might be a bit disrespectful to visit them like this just because they are childhood friends.
“I’m sorry. It must be a bit far-fetched, right?”
“No, it’s okay.”
You seem to know it well.
To be honest, Park Kyu-sung’s actions were truly reckless.
Even if Park Kyu-sung is your real brother, it would be a little strange to find and talk to each other like this, but even more so, Park Gyu-seong isn’t even your real brother, right?
“I’ve been quite close with Seoyoon since before.”
We got along quite well, Ra.
It feels a bit emphatic.
It highlights the relationship and time between Seoyoon and her.
“It felt like a younger sister to me.”
“I see.”
It was a voice full of loneliness and loneliness.
“As you may know, Seoyoon has a bit of an aversion to people. From a young age she was quite reluctant to associate with other people.”
He moved his head slightly.
Looking straight at me.
“By the way, were you a bit surprised when he suddenly said that he was dating someone else? I’m curious too. What kind of person is Seojun?”
I wonder if I’m dating Seoyoon, who has serious social phobia?
Is he really thinking that way, or is he justifying the story with that fact?
I had many questions, but one thing was certain: Park Kyu-seong probably didn’t know much about his ability to transmit his mind.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have reacted like that.
“I feel a little sorry that you seem to be trying to interfere in other people’s love affairs.”
“Oh, what. I understand.”
I nodded roughly and pretended to understand. I didn’t want to provoke Park Kyu-sung for no reason by spitting out useless words.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Nothing.”
“By the way, Mr. Seojun.”
“Yes.”
“I did a bit of research on Seo-jun.”
What is this all of a sudden? You mean?
Does this mean that a background investigation was conducted?
“Ah, of course it’s not like a background investigation. You’re famous, Seojun. Several articles have been posted on the Internet lately.”
“Ah, yes… ….”
I guess what I was thinking was shown on my face. Park Gyu-seong quickly added a sajok. I scratched my chin for a moment.
“I heard that you are close to Lee Ji-hyeon, Ryu Ye-rin, and Ganghwa-ryeon in many ways?”
“Because I’ve known you since school days.”
Park Kyu-seong licked his lips with a good laugh.
“Friendship? I’m so envious of this. Being friends with people like Lee Ji-hyun and Ryu Ye-rin would be something an ordinary person would never even dream of.”
Park Gyu-seong scratched the back of his neck and smiled brightly.
“By the way, Mr. Seojun.”
“Yes.”
He lightly cleared his throat and then stabbed him three times.
“I heard rumors.”
“Strange rumors?”
Yes. Yes.
When did you say that?
If you did your research, you would have heard of it.
“In the past, Jihyun Lee mentioned in an interview that there is a man she is interested in, right?”
“Oh, yes. It’s been a while, but I’m sure Jihyun said that.”
“Mr.
“What. I’ve been close with Jihyun since the old days.”
I shrugged my shoulders once.
“Just like Kyu-seong and Seo-yoon, I and Ji-hyeon are kind of like childhood friends.”
“Childhood, friend… ….”
“Yes. We’ve known each other since elementary school.”
“That’s true. It’s an old relationship.”
Coming to think of it, it’s been a really long time since I’ve known Jihyun.
“Then what about Ryu Ye-rin?”
“Yerin has a complicated family life. It’s an open secret, but I’ve been living alone with her mother since I was abandoned by the surname Sega, and I once took care of Yerin’s tutoring. She became close then.”
“Enough to joke around like that in a cafe?”
I took my coffee cup quietly without answering.
After taking a sip of coffee, he nodded.
“Yes.”
“Is that so?”
Park Gyu-seong paused as if he was a little confused.
“As far as I know, they don’t seem to be close friends…….”
“Mr. Kyu-seong.”
“Yes? Ah.”
“So what do you want to say?”
Park Kyu-sung knows what he’s trying to say.
Certainly, the relationship between me and the girls is unusual.
To the extent that various speculations are flying around the Internet.
If you did some research on me, you might be able to notice it to some extent.
“Just, what can I say?”
“Don’t be shy, you can talk.”
Park Gyu-seong rubbed her forehead with his index finger and glanced at me once. His eyes flashed sharply. I met Park Kyu-sung’s eyes. He didn’t avert his gaze.
“Yes. I will be honest with you.”
Park Kyu-seong inhales and exhales.
And then, without hesitation, the story begins in earnest.
“I’m dating Seoyoon, but isn’t she too close to another woman?”
…… I’m finally talking to you as an old man.
