It was the moment when Seoho tried to push her away as if he couldn’t take it any longer at the shallow voice whispering in his ear as if tempting him.
“Hey, if I love you so passionately, it’s not easy for me to return to my seat.”
A voice came from behind Seoho.
Then, following the voice, Sa-yeon Kwak stuck her head out between Seo-ho’s side.
She saw a man walking from the back of Seoho, dyed her face red, and backed away from Seoho.
Even so, he was holding his collar tightly so he wouldn’t let it go.
The owner of the voice is none other than Kwak Do-ryun.
As his name suggests, he has a tall appearance that would suit the master, and he smiled at the two of them.
“Brother, when did you come? If you came, you should have told me sooner. Shame on you.”
“I just came. It’s a little late to talk because you two get along so well. Come on, let’s sit down.”
He patted Seo-ho on the shoulder as if familiar, and sat down at the reserved seat.
There are only three customers in the restaurant today.
They rented the entire restaurant for one day, so they could eat without notice.
“So what’s going on? Seo-ho gives all the calls to hyung.”
As Do-ryun Kwak asked a question while tilting his wine glass, Seo-ho put down the fork that was turning the pasta.
“I want to tell you a story about the Tower of the Apocalypse.”
“Ah, the time has come for Seoho to be interested as well.”
He rubbed his chin and looked at him with interest.
At that moment, there was a rumble and a sound echoed from Kwak Sa-yeon’s side.
She was shaking her eyes wildly while looking at Seo-ho, and Seo-ho also looked at her with a questioning look.
“What, no. I’m the opposite! West Lake, how many people die in the Tower of the Apocalypse. Why are you going there!”
Seeing Sa-yeon Kwak shouting against the union, Seo-ho frowned.
At first, this story was just a rice cake to summon Kwak Do-ryun and Kwak Sa-yeon, and Seo-ho was not interested in the Tower of the Apocalypse right away.
But he couldn’t understand what Kwak Sa-yeon was against.
“Well, we’ll talk about that later. I’ll go right now. It is not such a declaration. right?”
“Yes.”
“So, the story calms down.”
When Kwak Do-ryun said that, Kwak Sa-yeon snorted with excitement and then sat down.
Even so, when he opened his eyes as if anxiously, he felt a deep feeling that he did not want Seo-ho to go to the Tower of the Apocalypse.
“Did you take a little vacation recently? What did you do?”
As Kwak Do-ryun spoke to change the subject, Seo-ho was silent for a moment.
The only thing he did during that vacation was to search for Shiho, contact the Returnees Association, hear about the situation, and search together.
But there was no reason to be honest about this.
“I have a business to see with my brother for a while. I did some work.”
“That’s right. By the way, my brother is also a hunter? Why don’t you bring me to my company.”
“You will figure it out. He’s not listening to me.”
Kwak Do-ryun shrugged his shoulders as if regretfully at the refusal, but didn’t say anything.
“Come to think of it, talk about artificial portals is circulating these days.”
Then he brought up another story as if he just remembered it.
Seoho knew the artificial portal well.
This is because, through Seolhyang Baek, the president of the Returnees Association, he heard about what happened to Siho.
That’s why I said that I would assign a returnee to serve as Shiho’s escort.
“It is said that the portal is artificially created. They said that Giraseong could be related.”
“They are returnees.”
As if Kwak Sa-yeon knew the story, she had a contemptuous expression on her face.
“Ugh, why do you keep creeping in and making trouble? live there it’s insignificant really.”
As if not considering the returnee’s situation at all, Kwak Sa-yeon spit out an immature sound.
Kwak Do-ryun looked at Seo-ho without paying any attention to her.
“The Returnees Association is also moving.”
“It would be a big deal.”
“right. Because there are many people who will pay attention to the artificial portal. Thanks to that, I’m also asking other companies not to contact me for nothing. There’s nothing good about hanging out with the Returnees Association.”
“It’s wise.”
“What, it’s our job to protect the Republic of Korea, isn’t it?”
Kwak Do-ryun showed a nice smile.
“Oppa, Seo-ho, I’ll come pick some flowers.”
Meanwhile, Kwak Sa-yeon got up and went to the bathroom, apparently not interested in the story.
Kwak Do-ryun, who looked at the back for a moment, turned his gaze to Seo-ho.
“So how are you?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a story.”
As soon as he heard those words, Seo-ho frowned.
However, Kwak Do-ryun continued talking without hesitation.
“He’s my little brother, but he’s such a stupid bitch. your face is flat I don’t think it would be too bad for a collection.”
It’s like treating your brother as a thing.
There was no feeling of affection for Kwak Sa-yeon in his eyes.
“Of course, that’s not an advantage. All I want is for you, Seoho, to become a member of my family. I like you.”
Taking Seo-ho into the JMC family using her younger sister.
That was the purpose of Kwak Do-ryun.
As an S-class hunter, Seo-ho’s ability is so great that it can even stand up to returnees.
To that extent, Kwak Do-ryun wanted to tie Seo-ho into a family kite.
“It doesn’t matter whether you leave the story behind after marriage or not.”
“… … What are you going to say to your sister?”
As Seo-ho had the same younger sister, he could not understand Kwak Do-ryun at all.
However, Kwak Do-ryun’s smile did not waver even at Seo-ho’s words.
“I’m being more honest with you on purpose. Isn’t it more credible to you to reveal everything than to hide something like a blackout?”
“I would rather draw a line.”
“Unfortunately, I have a lot of affection for Seolsan Iri. If you look at it this way, maybe both of us are falling for you.”
As soon as Kwak Sa-yeon arrived, he greeted her as if there was no story in front of him, as if he had even mentioned a nickname that Seo-ho didn’t like.
It was really creepy to see him, but it was also a part of how thorough he was with his work.
After eating, Seo-ho came out of the restaurant feeling more nauseated than fighting the dimensional species.
It’s really summer now, so the tepid wind made me feel even worse.
“Seoho, Seoho!”
At that moment, Kwak Sa-yeon, who followed from behind, embraced Seo-ho’s arm.
“Hey, are you going to cover it already? Let’s play some more with my sister.”
He absolutely hated it, but Seoho remembered Hachan’s request and opened his mouth.
“Can I ask you something instead of playing?”
Seo-ho is annoyed by the fact that he insists on talking to him.
So, despite his half-spoken words, Kwak Sa-yeon smiled as if he liked it better.
“What is it, what is it? I’ll tell you everything Seo-ho asks about!”
“What do you usually do?”
After hearing Seo-ho’s question, she opened her eyes and immediately smiled.
“Seoho, you seem to have a lot of interest in your sister. Is it because of your brother?”
And at that moment, even Seoho stiffened at the words that came out of her mouth.
brother’s story.
It was because it meant the story Kwak Do-ryun was talking about a while ago.
“don’t worry! I don’t care at all about my brother. My sister only needs Seoho. As long as there is Seoho, the one I love the most in the world, everything will be fine.”
It was the first time.
What I felt was that Kwak Sa-yeon wasn’t just a stupid fly-hell.
“Seoho, do you want to have a JMC? If my sister promises not to do dangerous things like the Tower of the West Lake Apocalypse, I might give it to her.”
And even seeing her grinning face gave me a creepy feeling.
“you.”
“Oh right. I was wondering what your sister usually does! Let’s go, let’s go. I will teach you everything today!”
Pushing her chest and pulling Seo-ho as she walked, Seo-ho looked at her without a word.
Then he suddenly turned his head and met Kwak Do-ryun, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, looking at them.
The way he smiled was part of why these two looked so similar to each other that they were siblings.

“So this is Kwak Sa-yeon’s routine?”
[Yes, that’s right. ]
The next day, listening to Seo-ho’s voice over the phone, I wrote down everything he said.
After making him call me hyung, Seo-ho asked him to make it easier for him to talk, and I couldn’t help but treat him more comfortably.
Seo-ho felt exhausted just talking about how much he had been swayed by Kwak Sa-yeon.
[I, my brother. ]
At that moment, at Seo-ho’s call, I stopped the hand I was writing down.
[ Do you have a grudge against Kwak Sa-yeon? ]
I laughed bitterly when Seoho asked, as if he had already noticed to a certain extent with the way I was talking.
“Yeah, quite. She ruined my life quite a bit.”
[ Is that so. ]
Hearing those words, he was silent as if thinking for a moment.
[To be honest, I think it would be good for my brother not to approach Kwak Sa-yeon. ]
After a while he gave advice as if he had thought a lot.
[But if your brother wants to avenge Kwak Sa-yeon. ]
And over the phone, I could hear Seo-ho clenching his fists and clenching his fists.
[I will definitely help. ]
Crazy, it’s too cheesy.
I can see why women go crazy for Seoho.
Every word you say is like the main character in a novel.
“thank you. I’ll tell you right away if something happens.”
[ Yes, I understand. ]
I hung up the phone with a smile on seeing him who spoke politely to the end.
After hearing all the stories, Sa-yeon Kwak seemed to be a woman who still lived her life on her own terms.
Everyday life is like sweeping away a department store or a powerhouse.
Well, it was the same.
“Is the guy who cursed you Kwak Sa-yeon?”
“Yeah, it’s probably a hunter hired by Kwak Sa-yeon to be exact.”
Baeksan, who was listening to the story next to me, made a thoughtful expression.
Then he frowned as if he remembered something.
“You’re connected with something weirder than you think.”
“what? Do you know anything?”
It is a mountain from the future.
As for the daughter of the JMC president, there was a high probability that he would know.
When I saw him with a puzzled look, he ruffled his front hair as he had done and explained.
“If my memory is correct, the president’s son or he dies suddenly one day, and then that woman becomes the next successor.”
“sudden death?”
Hearing that, I widened my eyes.
If it is the son of the JMC chairman, he must be Kwak Do-ryun.
Even though he awakened as a hunter himself, he must have been working at JMC.
‘Was it B-class? It must have been quite high.’
Hunters are naturally strong against diseases and accidents as much as they have excellent physical abilities.
So I couldn’t understand why he died suddenly.
“It’s not me who knows everything about them, I just saw the news at the time and thought it was just like that. The problem is after that.”
Baeksan lowered his hand that was brushing his bangs and calmly continued his next words.
“After that woman married Ha Seo-ho, and then he and JMC’s hunter went to Giraseong.”
“No, what kind of dog-bone situation is that?”
“Yeah, like you said, it’s like a dog bone situation.”
He had a troubled expression on his face as if he didn’t know the details.
Seo-ho is marrying that woman?
Can not be done.
Our Seoho can’t give it to such a crazy woman.
It was the moment when one more stack of anger towards Kwak Sa-yeon was accumulated in my heart.
“Anyway, that makes the situation for Korean Hunters a mess. And then there’s another problem. This is the news of Ha Seo-ho’s death.”
“Why is our Seoho dying?”
“? Since when did you become our Seoho?”
Baeksan looked at me like I was stupid, but continued talking.
“Okay, who will be the biggest problem with the news of Ha Seo-ho’s death?”
As soon as I heard those words, there was a girl that came to my mind.
“… … Shiho.”
“Yeah, that was the beginning of the kid’s runaway. The crazy kid messes around with the Earth’s spatial coordinates as he hunts for the annihilation of Gira Castle. Thanks to this, the portal phenomenon causes a great runaway around the world, leading to a catastrophe.”
“Miss Shiho.”
After hearing that, I realized that the situation had become much more serious.
There is something called the butterfly effect.
It refers to a phenomenon in which small changes, like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings, lead to unexpected and enormous results in the future.
That’s exactly what the current situation was.
