“I’m sorry!!”

As soon as I opened the front door, I was a little taken aback by Bang Han-na’s behavior, kneeling down, bowing her head, and handing me an apple.

“I have committed a mortal sin… ! Please, please don’t cut me!”

“I… . It’s Hannah. Because it’s okay. Come on… .”

“I’ll really do anything you ask me to do… ! Please forgive me just once… !”

Bean—!

Even though it was just a floor, I inadvertently took a step back when Bang Han-na hit her head on the floor without hesitation. I calmed down my startled heart and gave her the answer she wanted.

“Okay! I will forgive you.”

Then Bang Han-na suddenly raised her head and asked back carefully, gulping as if she owed her life.

“… Really… ?”

Moist green eyes and a reddish forehead.

It seemed to show how desperate she was.

“Should I not forgive?”

“Oh, no! no! Absolutely not!”

“Then get up quickly. … Shake off some clothes.”

“… Yes, yep… !”

Bang Han-na quickly got up, followed my instructions, and began to meticulously shake off the dust from her body… .

‘No, I came this far like this… ?’

I was once again taken aback by her appearance that caught my eye late.

There was no major problem with the clothing itself.

Because it was decorated with the usual combination of a plain solid color T-shirt and dolphin pants.

however… .

Her body was not ordinary at all.

The t-shirt, which must have had a loose design, was caught up in her overwhelming valley, slightly revealing her waist, and since she was lying down on the floor, her dolphin pants were completely rolled up, leaving her pale thighs clearly exposed.

“All done!”

I don’t know if she knows it or not, but she talks to me cautiously, wiggling her fingers.

Is there anyone else for whom the word defenseless is so fitting?

After contemplating her attire for a moment, I asked her, arranging my t-shirt to show off.

“Are you okay inside?”

Then she quickly adjusted her clothes as if she had missed something, and nodded her head with a bright red face.

“What about hangovers? Did you drink the hangover cure I bought?”

“Uh… . Ah, no… .”

My hair wasn’t dry yet, so it looked like I had washed it as soon as I woke up.

That must mean it was urgent.

‘How anxious I must have been… .’

I once again felt sorry for her, and I opened my mouth with a short sigh out of regret.

“Then, let’s eat some ramen and go.”

*

Same time.

After finishing the interview, Hong Yu-ra left the office and headed to Seol Joo-hee’s house.

Seol Joo-hee, who managed to retreat thanks to the desperate request of Nook-il, who threw her whole body into it, was still fuming and irritable, unable to let go of her anger… .

“I will never leave you alone… . I broke my other leg too, so I can’t walk very well… !”

Seeing Seol Joo-hee like that, Hong Yu-ra fell into even deeper worries.

‘Something is strange…’ .’

Hong Yu-ra thought this incident was somehow suspicious.

Regardless of Do Ji-hyuk’s personality, there were more than one thing that bothered him.

Hong Yoo-ra felt that the video that came this time seemed to be guiding someone. Unlike the previous video, which was closer to an actual revelation, there was a lot of content that seemed to hint at something.

For example, Do Ji-hyuk said that he was planning to join the Sejin guild.

Currently, Do Ji-hyuk already belongs to Team Seoul City Hall.

Not only is he affiliated with the group, but an article even surfaced that he recently had a direct meeting with Seoul Mayor Lee Sang-heum and was promised full support in the future.

It was too proactive to be the behavior of someone who would soon change the team.

In the video, he mentioned the Sejin Guild and hinted at a transfer, but the negative reaction of the woman he was with also revealed the purpose of the video being sent.

This made me think that Do Ji-hyuk would one day join the Sejin guild, and the relationship between Sejin guild leader Lee Hye-ri and Do Ji-hyuk drove a wedge of confidence into me.

In other words, the content of the video was obscured by the provocative story of ‘Do Ji-hyuk’s complicated relationship with women’… .

It was densely filled with clever productions that created doubt and led to thinking.

‘… I may be mistaken… .’

Hong Yu-ra did not miss the possibility that she might have overinterpreted it, but this was not the only strange thing she felt.

She had doubts about the ambiguous attitude that Nookil showed.

He called everyone together and shared a video because he couldn’t handle it alone, but he showed a very conservative response to the idea of issuing an official statement and taking legal action.

Even when Seol Joo-hee said that she would come forward in person, didn’t she get scared and stop her?

More than anything… .

‘I’m sure Arin noticed.’

Hong Yu-ra, who witnessed Gook-il unconsciously observing Im A-rin, couldn’t help but be even more suspicious.

“… Hey Joohee. Isn’t it a bit strange?”

After calmly organizing her thoughts, Hong Yu-ra tried to ask Seol Joo-hee for her opinion… .

“There are too many questionable parts in this matter. Something seems strange… .”

“The strange one must be Do Ji-hyuk.”

“… Huh?”

Seol Joo-hee, who had rolled her eyes at the fact that she had been betrayed by Do Ji-hyuk, had no intention of listening.

“If that bastard hadn’t betrayed us, this wouldn’t have happened. what? Get pregnant? 발정 난 개새끼도 아니고… !”

Seol Joo-hee, who was the most passionate and jealous of the Queens members, reacted particularly sensitively to Do Ji-hyuk’s promiscuous behavior.

Rational judgment became impossible due to the ‘provocative keywords’ that were blindfolded in the video.

“… … .”

Hong Yu-ra, who decided that it would be difficult to discuss with Seol Joo-hee, kept her mouth shut.

As I touched the friendship ring on my left index finger, I thought about the promise I made at Lim Arin’s suggestion.

‘We’ll all be together for the first time. Understand?’

‘huh! The three of us must do it together… !’

‘No matter how urgent it is, you shouldn’t cut in line?’

The day I decided to share my first experience with Do Ji-hyuk with everyone.

*

“Umm… !”

I looked at Bang Han-na, who had a happy expression on her face with her cheeks puffed out.

Perhaps because his hair was blonde, he looked like a greedy hamster.

“Is it delicious?”

“Ugh!”

She responded by nodding her head vigorously as if asking,

I gently put down my chopsticks to give up the remaining ramen and quietly sipped my water.

‘I hope this cuteness lasts until the end.’

Hannah Bang is destined to become an A-rank hunter in the future.

Since he looks great and has unique characteristics, there is a high possibility that he will be selected for a top 10 team. If he is selected for a team of that level, he will live a completely different life from his current life.

In an era where even high-ranking hunters with no star status are lining up for sponsorships from well-known luxury brands, what about the star-filled Bang Han-na?

Perhaps you will earn enough money to no longer have to work as a hunter.

‘If only Seol Joo-hee protects this world well.’

Usually, when you earn that much money, people change.

Seol Joo-hee was like that, Hong Yu-ra, who was a rich girl, was like that, and only Lim A-rin was the one who changed less.

Women who didn’t even know the names of luxury brands began to wear luxury products all over their bodies, and women who preferred training rather than decorating suddenly began going to specialty shops to receive care.

Of course, I have grown enough, and it was all done with my own hands, so I don’t have much to say… .

Sometimes, I miss those innocent girls.

“Phew… . I enjoyed it!”

Bang Han-na, who had already eaten all the ramen, patted her stomach with a satisfied expression.

Seeing her laughing, I smiled slightly and immediately tried to put away the dishes and pots… .

“Ugh! I will do it!”

Bang Han-na quickly got up from her seat and snatched the bowl and pot she was holding.

“It’s okay for me to do this.”

“No… ! Please let me do it… ! If you stay still, you’ll really turn into a pig!”

Hannah Bang looked at me with a stern expression, as if she could no longer back down.

It feels like a puppy with its ears pricked up.

No, is it bigger than a dog?

“… Well then, should I leave it to you?”

“Yes… !”

While Bang Han-na put on her apron and stood in front of the sink, I sat at the table and stared blankly at her back.

“Hehehehe… .”

What made me so happy was that I was washing the dishes while shaking my body and humming a song… .

As I was looking at her back, an unknown feeling began to arise.

“… … .”

Actually, it’s not that awkward to have someone take care of our house.

Until I was fired from Queens, I regularly called a housekeeper to clean up the house.

It was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I got used to it and it didn’t bother me.

however… .

As I watched Bang Han-na standing in the kitchen, a strange feeling slowly began to seep into me.

It was similar to the feeling I had one day when I was living with Lim A-rin after my leg was shattered in an accident.

‘I’m feeling lonely these days… .’

I quietly looked away, wondering if I should at least contact the city hall employee whose contact information I had recently received.

“It’s done!”

Before I knew it, I had finished washing all the dishes.

I didn’t want to immediately kick out Hannah Bang, so I sat down in the living room and had a light conversation with her to make friends.

And then I found out an unexpected fact… .

“… This is your first time drinking it?”

“Uh… . My friends didn’t drink all their alcohol… . Hey, I tried it alone! ”

It turns out that this was the first time Bang Hanna had a drink outside.

‘This is going to be a really big problem.’

As I remembered Bang Han-na’s enormous injection, I encouraged her several times as if I were her real brother.

“You should never drink it just because it tastes good. It’s better to just say you can’t drink it, or drink it only in places where there are people you really trust. Got it?”

Then Bang Hannah gave me a strange look and slowly nodded in response.

“… yes… .”

I wasn’t sure if I understood it correctly, but it only made me more worried.

‘My parents must have been very worried.’

Besides that, I was able to find out quite a bit about her.

Her parents have special attack abilities.

The ability was awakened at a fairly late age.

I narrowly passed the exam and barely got into college.

And I cried so much that I almost fainted.

“I worked so hard and got it… , I guess it’s a pity that I don’t have to go anymore?”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed… . I like it better now!”

Bang Han-na, currently a college student, is being recognized for attendance in preparation for her debut on the Hunter team.

If I continue my hunter life like this, I probably won’t have to go to school anymore.

“I’m also curious about college festivals. I just walked around nearby, but never really enjoyed it.”

“Oh, really? Then come with me next time! I’ll introduce you here and there!”

Hannah Bang smiled brightly, as if it was natural, and said, “Let’s go out to play.”

No matter how empty the words were, it might be difficult to deal with them because of the strict superior-subordinate relationship, but she seemed to have no hesitation.

That probably means I’m comfortable.

Originally, we should have drawn a reasonable line and maintained a distance, but… .

I think this is Bang Han-na’s original personality, and I think I’m being too sensitive, so I decided to ignore it.

“Wow… ! Producer, did you participate in the Academy Tournament?”

“I did. I withdrew from the finals. I got seriously injured during training.”

“Oh… . sorry… .”

“No. Still, I became a producer thanks to my injury, so it might have been better. If it wasn’t for you, wouldn’t you have been a bad producer?”

“… Well, that’s right… !”

While I was spending time with Banghan, talking about various things.

Ding dong─ Ding dong─

The doorbell rang throughout the house.

“I see who is here… ?”

“… ?”

I left Hannah Bang sitting in the living room and headed straight to the front door. Without thinking, I unlocked the lock and opened the front door.

Beep- Clap- Clap-

And that moment.

“… Jihyuk… .”

When I saw her standing in front of the front door, I froze.

“… Oh, it’s been a while… .”

It was Lim Arin.
