114 – The Equation of Love (6)
I can’t deny that I’m close to other women.
That’s because he’s dating Jihyun and Yerin.
But wouldn’t it be possible to say it plainly?
Proudly ‘hahahaha. In fact, I am straddling those four legs. Oh, of course, I mean it to Seoyoon, so don’t worry too much.’
“Because Seoyoon isn’t talking, she’ll keep worrying about her. She’s the kind of person who can’t say anything bitter like an idiot, so she’ll just grunt. He must be worried while looking at Seo-jun and the other women…….”
“Hey, Kyu-seong.”
I interrupted Park Kyu-seong’s conversation with a short word.
Since this man starts talking in earnest, he doesn’t know how to stop?
Well, Park Kyu-seong is saying all the right things, but his actions are a bit excessive. In a slang word, it is an ojilap. Because Park Gyu-seong didn’t have to say this at all.
“Thank you for your words. It’s only natural to worry about Seoyoon. By the way.”
I flicked my coffee cup once and smiled bitterly.
“Isn’t that a problem between me and Seoyoon?”
“… ….”
“I don’t think Kyu-seong needs to worry about that much. Aren’t you?”
“… ….”
Park Kyu-seong kept his mouth shut for a while.
He lowered his head, biting his lower lip slightly.
It seems a little resentful, but also sad.
‘Ah, dear. Did you speak a little harshly?’
What if Park Gyu-seong gets mad and does something strange?
A little worried rose up in my heart.
But my worries were in vain.
“Yes. Seojun is right.”
Nod slowly and smile sadly.
“No matter what, it is ultimately a problem between Seojun and Seoyoon. The two of you will do just fine. There is no need for me to meet separately like this and say useless things…….”
He has a complex expression in many ways.
I was a little saddened by that appearance, so I stopped saying unnecessary words without realizing it.
“Mr. Kyu-seong. It’s actually a bit strange, isn’t it?”
“Yes? What?”
“Try to be a little more honest. Actually, I can’t understand the fact that Seoyoon and I are dating.”
“Seojun? What do you mean by all of a sudden?”
There has been a lot of talk about this and that, but Park Gyu-seong’s biggest question is how someone like me became a lover with Seo-yoon.
No matter what, Seoyoon and I don’t get along.
Seo-yoon Choi, an S-Rank Hunter and blood of Ilsung Group, and Seo-Jun Han, a normal person and an E-Rank Hunter.
It can be said that it feels like Princess Pyeon-kang and On-dal the Fool.
Park Kyu-seong is probably unable to understand.
And I must have hurt my pride a lot. You mean you’ve been pushed by a guy like me To a porter with no background and lack of ability.
You probably don’t like me in many ways.
“I didn’t think that far.”
The saying that I didn’t think that far is in line with the saying that I thought to a certain extent.
“Is that so? But if I were in the same position as Kyu-seong, I would have felt very uncomfortable.”
“Why did you suddenly say that?”
From noble mtl dot com
It was Park Kyu-seong who reacted a little brusquely.
Ah, I made a mistake. Do you think i’m kidding?
I didn’t mean to.
“I’m a little sorry.”
“Sorry?”
“I am not doing this for nothing. Ah. It’s kind of hard to put into words, but…… It’s a bit like that.”
I fidgeted with my little coffee cup.
“I have a childhood friend too, so I think I know how it feels.”
“Seojun?”
“If Ji-hyeon suddenly said that she was dating an E-rank hunter, I would be very worried too. You might think it’s a little strange. If Jihyun is of this level, she will definitely be able to meet a good man, but why does she meet such a person? I said.”
This is what I was saying to myself. These were the women who really deserved it for me.
“I know that I lack a lot for Seoyoon. People often say that love has no borders, age, or status, but the reality is tough, right? People around me will point fingers at me and think of me as a parasite.”
That’s why today.
I want to prove myself.
I’ll proudly let people know that I’m not just an E-rank brat.
“But I have no intention of giving up. The reason is not because of Seoyoon’s background, nor is it because of her ability. She likes Seoyoon as much as Seoyoon likes me. So, she made up her mind to try her best as long as Seoyoon didn’t hate it.”
Actually, even if Seoyoon hates her, I don’t think I can let her go now.
“No, what. It just is.”
After I finished speaking, I awkwardly scratched the back of my neck. Park Kyu-seong is not even your father-in-law, but it seems like he said some useless things. Me too
“Whoa. Is that so.”
Park Kyu-seong sighed slowly.
“Seoyun and Seojun are the same. Why do you keep apologizing to me?”
With a bitter smile, he lowers his head slightly.
“Seojun. I mean. I know because I’ve been watching for a long time. Seoyoon is really soft-hearted. She keeps her distance from people, partly because she doesn’t want to be hurt, but she will because she doesn’t want to be hurt either.”
His voice is a bit vague as if he is reminiscing about the past.
“Seoyun is like that. Nice He just can’t get past the poor guy. She has never seen a girl as kind as Seoyoon. Shall we say that she is an S-ranked person and does not look like the blood of the Ilsung group?”
Tap and tap the table with your index finger.
“Even if there are hardships or suffering, I will endure it alone. Like I said before, you’ll be grunting like an idiot. He can’t even write well. So I would like you to look at Seoyoon with some interest.”
Park Gyu-seong immediately raised his head.
A little confusion was visible on the outside of his face.
It looks sad, it looks foolish, it also seems a little relieved.
Anyway, Park Kyu-seong, who seemed to be in a complicated mood, eventually lowered his head again and spoke in a sincere voice.
“I was talking a lot. Just what…… Please take good care of Seoyoon.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Ah, hahahaha. Me too I’m not Seoyoon’s older brother. I think I overdid it a bit.”
“No.”
Park Kyu-seong trembled with an awkward voice.
“What am I saying, really.”
He scratched his cheek lightly as if he was suddenly itchy and smiled shyly.
“Anyway, after talking to him, he seems like a good person. I could feel that he sincerely thought of Seoyoon. Didn’t you actually worry about what would happen if you were looking at Seoyoon’s face and ability? Seoyoon was the partner she chose, so she must have been a bit clumsy. What was my needless worry?”
Park Gyu-seong leaned against the back of his chair.
I suddenly tilted my head and looked up at the ceiling.
He licks his lips slowly.
“Whoa…… I feel strange. I don’t know if I should say I’m depressed or I’m a little sad.”
“Originally, first love doesn’t come true.”
“Ah. You knew that too.”
“There are rumors about it?”
“Is that so? Ha ha. Isn’t it strange that you don’t know?”
He smiled and made a joke.
“Now that this has happened, Kyu-seong, try doing well with the second daughter of the Ji-seon group.”
“No, do you know that far? Now that I see it, it looks like Seo-jun did some research on me too, right?”
“No. Rumors spread all over the Hunter Gallery.”
“Hunter Gallery? Mr. Seojun. Do you do that?”
“…… What is the Hunter Gallery like?”
Anyway, the two of us talked a little bit.
‘This seems to have ended well enough. I also felt a bit remorseful. Anyone who sees it will think that Park Kyu-seong is the real Seo-yoon’s older brother.’
I was able to figure it out when I had a direct conversation with Park Kyu-sung like this. The fact that Park Kyu-sung is a good person.
If he had been another A-Rank, he would have thought, ‘f*ck, E-Rank is so f*cking stupid.’ Maybe it was something that threatened me with a coercive attitude.
However, Park Gyu-seong kept his composure as much as possible while talking with me, and it was an atmosphere where he understood the relationship between me and Seo-yoon to some extent and moved on.
It’s no wonder that Seoyoon kept her by her side.
People are unnecessarily kind.
‘What time is it by the way? It seems the time has come for the monster to appear.’
I sneakily checked the time on my phone.
An hour had already passed.
It’s already time like this.
‘Shall we prepare soon? It’s because we can’t risk human life like last time.’
In an instant, the incident of the monster appearing in Hanbit Park flashed through my mind.
At that time, people could not be saved. Despite Mina’s help, all she did was hold onto her own lifeline.
But now it’s different.
He has enough strength to receive a definite answer from Jihyeon and Seoyoon.
I’ve practiced it a few times, so it’s probably fine.
‘And I’m not the only one here.’
There’s an A-rank veteran hunter, Park Gyu-seong, right?
So there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Then the conversation is over. Oh.”
Park Gyu-seong snapped his fingers once again.
I could see that the sound insulation barrier surrounding the two of us had disappeared.
Then I began to hear the voices of the people around me clearly in my ears.
“I was surprised to unlock the sound insulation barrier…… Uh?”
– This is an emergency. A spatial vibration phenomenon was detected.
Park Gyu-sung stopped talking.
Because the alarm sounded.
Ah, it has begun.
– Residents living in the area, please prepare for a safe place. We’ll let you know again. Detect spatial vibrations…….
People were shocked by the sound of sirens warning of the monster’s appearance.
“Spatial vibration? A monster?”
“Uh, what should I do?”
“It’s okay, I will. For now, let’s not go out and stay here.”
“Yes.”
People who look a little uneasy.
The appearance of a monster is like an unavoidable natural disaster.
It can be said that the monsters that appear in the rifts are a blessing in disguise. Because if you’re really unlucky, a powerful monster can appear.
– This is an emergency. A spatial vibration phenomenon was detected. Notify again. The phenomenon of space vibration……
A loud siren sounded repeatedly, and after a while, in the air slightly away from the cafe, the incontinence began to split.
The empty space is cracking as if it were cracked and reminiscent of a glass window.
The complexions of the people who witnessed the scene gradually turn blue.
Park Kyu-seong also swallows dry saliva.
“That, that could be a crack phenomenon…… ?”
With someone’s words.
“Kleurreuk, rurlreuk.”
“Eh, eh, eh.”
“Krya, Le, Lerr, Le?”
Several monsters broke through the rift and slowly began to emerge.
