“ha… ”
She was rolling around in the room, letting out a heavy sigh.
Na Seon, an S-class hunter, was looking at her cell phone every day, feeling a stuffy feeling stuck in a corner of her chest.
What she is looking for is articles about Lee Jin-hyun and herself, who are now almost sinking.
After the correction article appeared, public opinion reversed, and as a result, there were quite a few favorable stories about her.. to be exact, close to sympathy.
-The couple who ended up avoiding because of Giregi
-This is why hunters say they can’t even date, I’m afraid they’ll get involved in strange rumors
– I hope it doesn’t go through the cracks because of this.
Not too long ago, it was a murderous year for stealing military secrets… but now, public opinion about Na-sun is that she is a victim who has suffered unfortunate damage due to the media’s shoveling.
However, for Na-sun, that fact was irrelevant.
At this moment, what she is looking at is the adjutant whose name in question is never known.
It was about the perception of Lee Jin-hyun and the people who regard her as a couple.
‘Actually, oppa and I aren’t that close, but… well, it’s not that bad of a word in itself…’
However, apart from this public opinion.
Na-sun Na, the person in charge, couldn’t help but feel bitter on the one hand, knowing the reality.
Honestly, the woman in question straight from Lee Jin-hyun’s mouth..
Hearing that he was dating a dark-haired beauty came as quite a shock to Na-sun.
Of course, I saw them sticking together from the first time I saw them, but somehow there was a clear difference between a simple guess and a confirmation kill.
So, people know…
From her point of view, she felt regret between the ‘ideal’ story and the harsh reality.
With deep despondency, Na-sun slowly put down her phone.
‘If.. If I had come to my senses a little faster… I could have expressed my affection a little more normally when Jin-hyun oppa was by my side, but how nice it would be..’
Although it was an anger control disorder that could be said to have been cured thanks to the shock of Lee Jin-hyun’s departure, I couldn’t help but feel regretful nonetheless.
If this change had been a little quicker, he would have been able to win his love without those competitors.
It was at that time when Na-sun was suffering from heartache in regret for the past.
-smart
“..yes? Who is it?”
A sudden knocking sound.
Na-sun, after shaking off these anguish, got up from her seat and carefully opened the door.
And right after that…
“… there… ”
-bang!
Na-sun, who checks who the person in front of the door is, and slams the door as it is.
Right after that… that person’s voice outside the door.
Now I started to hear that bitch’s voice that I didn’t want to see.
“Ji..Jiseon..Ah. me… It’s me.. Choi Yujin..”
“go away! I won’t be seeing you for another year!”
The existence that stabbed herself, a friend who was not another person, and at the same time, the guy who tried to bury the man she liked at once.
As much as I didn’t want to have any dealings with that bitch again, Na-sun shouted at her with a firm voice.
But.
Despite her attitude, Choi Yu-jin’s voice continued to be heard from beyond the door.
“wealth… I beg you.. Ji Seon-ah.. Please.. Please listen to my story a little bit.. Please.. like this.. I beg you like this. If you abandon me too, I’m really finished.”
“You are the one who abandoned me first! Stop talking nonsense and go back!”
“that… I’m really sorry. Ha.. But I couldn’t help it either… I thought that if I didn’t do that, there would be no way to save him… Seo Ji-yoon…”
“… .”
“That.. and… honestly, at that time, I felt betrayed by you too… you know that. I always react sensitively to my friend’s work.. I.. oppose you saving Seo Ji-yoon, so I stop feeling angry..”
“… Gut..”
Choi Yu-jin talks about her circumstances in a earnest voice.
To be honest, it was a story that I had expected to some extent about her circumstances.
However, as Na Ji-seon heard this through Choi Yu-jin’s mouth, she began to feel a little shake in her emotions.
Of course, it was true that he and Lee Jin-hyun were stabbed in the back. It could be said that the reason for this was that he had not been able to appease Choi Yu-jin well in relation to Seo Ji-yoon’s work.
‘Certainly.. I was a bit aggressive. Because I couldn’t convey this part clearly at the time.’
At that moment when Na-sun felt her heart shake a little, she began to hear Choi Yu-jin’s voice, now almost crying.
“Please.. Hey.. Please.. Please forgive me just once.. Ah.. No.. If you can’t forgive.. Please listen to me at least.. Right now the only person I can rely on is you.. Please.. Ji Seon-ah, please..”
Choi Yoo-jin speaks in a voice mixed with crying.
Regarding this, Na-sun sighed deeply and had no choice but to carefully open the door.
Of course, that didn’t mean he forgave the other person.
However, when she saw Choi Yoo-jin, who had not been punished by the law, plead that way, she began to realize that something else seemed to be the case.
That, too… was a very serious situation for Choi Yu-jin.
‘Haa.. no matter how much it is.. because there is affection so far.. even if the fault is later, let’s listen to what they are talking about. Of course, helping is another matter.’
Making that judgment, Na-sun showed the least amount of mercy and carefully opened the door.
“..Ji..Jiseon… ah.”
“I haven’t forgiven you yet. But it looks like there’s something going on, so I’ll listen.”
“Go… thank you… I…really… thank you Ji Seon-ah.”
Choi Yu-jin came inside while shedding tears.
Naji-sun was able to recognize the fact that the woman in front of him was suffering severely in many ways.
“therefore? tell me at once Why did you ask to see me?”
“that… That’s… I mean…”
Like that, after showing hesitation, Choi Yu-jin cautiously speaks out.
She started with the order she received from Lieutenant General Song Dana and continued to talk about the series of events that followed after visiting Lee Jin-hyeon in Dreamers.
And… as she listened to her story, deep concern began to bloom on Na-sun’s face.
“Then.. if you don’t enlist Jinhyeon oppa again, you…”
“… I’m sure… a hell that’s hard to imagine is waiting for you. You know, right?.. What happens when you get stamped on the upper floors..”
“Um… ”
“… Please..please.. Ji Seon-ah.. me.. help me just once, you.. you have a special relationship with Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee, right? Just a little… just a little bit is good…’
“… ha.”
Choi Yu-jin, who misunderstands the relationship between herself and Lee Jin-hyun, just like on the Internet. However, if you think about it, this could be considered normal.
‘Well… if you think about it, that kind of public opinion was created based on the contents of that misunderstanding.’
However, no matter what public opinion was or what she was thinking, Nadiseon knew very well that this was not going to be an easy task.
Unlike Choi Yu-jin, she knew very well about her sins, and because of this, she was the only one among the four S-class hunters in the 28th Guild to apologize first.
At the same time, as much as I knew very well how Lee Jin-hyun, who had escaped from such a hellish situation, would have feelings for the army and the Hunter Guild, I also knew that this would be absolutely impossible no matter how much she tried.
‘That means… from the beginning, this job could be said to be hopeless… I wonder why those high-ranking people gave such orders to Choi Yu-jin?’
That’s how, from the beginning, when I was aware that the situation was hopeless…
Suddenly, one thing started popping into her mind.
‘? ?’
