90.

It’s late at night.

I was reminiscing with my father whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“You drink some too.”

“I’m sorry, but I have to enjoy the miracle life─”

“Maru wine.”

“Okay, I’ll drink it right now. Where’s the glass?”

Well, you can’t have alcohol in a place with adults!

So, while cracking open the jar and eating, he started talking.

“So how did you meet the Major?”

“······You scouted me while I was working on the front lines. I was lucky, yes.”

“Your expression is not good.”

I silently clinked my glasses with the CEO. In fact, even if I hadn’t met Kang Mi-young at that time, I knew it would turn out like this. It was a feeling, you could say.

Now, I actually think it’s a good thing.

“When do you think you’ll be discharged? The public’s view of the Awakened these days is not kind. When a bitch like Hong Seo-min gets involved, only innocent kids like you get hurt. Oh, and what does Hong Seo-min look like? Is it the same as on TV?”

The CEO asked while shaking the soju bottle cap. He didn’t even mention his son appearing on TV. He really is a heartless person.

“Yes. She was pretty. I heard she was an actress. The mask was really obvious.”

The president nodded at my words.

“I guess all pretty things have to be crazy.”

“Like your mother is crazy about your father?”

The president flinched for a moment. It seemed like he was right.

“… … Keum. Oh, the soup tastes refreshing~ You should have a bite too!”

The boss put a spoonful of Yukgaejang in his mouth. It was such an awkward time. Maybe it was because he hadn’t had much alcohol. He took a quick sip of soju. I don’t know how many bottles I’ve already had.

I’m sick of this life.

The tower has been demolished, so it may not open anytime soon.

The domestic and international situation remains chaotic.

What can I do, this is how the Awakened are treated. I didn’t want to become a crazy guy like Hong Seo-min. It’s okay to vent your anger in small ways like this.

As the alcohol entered his mouth, he gradually became more and more lucid. It was around that time that the heavy mouth of the president began to quiver.

“So I made weapons and everything! This world-class Lee Cheol-beom used to go around harassing women······.”

“Daughter. Father······Mom is driving.”

“Uh.”

Mrs. Park glanced at President Lee from the end of the hallway, then dragged him in with a forceful hand.

“Son, save me!!”

“You shut up.”

I quietly wished my father good luck. What should I do now? I’m still a bit like that.

[The ‘fully competent hunter’ is trying to persuade someone to drink more alcohol.]

“Is that so?”

Since I’m on vacation, I should have fun! I can just leave the bill in the manager’s name. I started taking out the bottles of alcohol from the cupboard one by one.

* * *

The incident started when Kang Mi-young was assigned a room.

“You can sleep here. Hohoho.”

“Thank you for your consideration, Mom.”

“Just call me Mrs. Park. Oh, can I take a picture? The CEO has been acting all shaky lately. I think it would be nice to take a picture together.”

“Can I do it tomorrow morning?”

“Of course. Hehe. Good night!”

Then he closed the door. Kang Mi-young couldn’t believe what was happening.

‘This is what happens in Lee Seong-han’s house!’

His scent lingers everywhere. It’s his childhood room, so it’s only natural.

“Hehehehe.”

Kang Mi-young hummed as she changed into her pajamas and put on cute character slippers as she prepared to go to bed.

Anyway, Lee Seong-ah and Lee Mi-yeon have gone to dreamland… … and the couple has gone to bed. So all I have to do is take care of myself. By the way, where is Lee Seong-han’s room?

“Ahem ahem!”

… … I’m not trying to satisfy my own personal desires. I guess I’ll have to put off going to bed for now.

Kang Mi-young got up from bed and went out of the room.

A dark hallway greeted me.

The old-fashioned hallway brightened up, perhaps because of the sensor lights, giving it a hotel-like atmosphere.

As I headed toward the living room, the kitchen light was on. Hmm? I thought maybe they had turned the light off, so I went over to them and said, “Oh no.”

My legs wouldn’t move at all.

“Daughter! Father······ You should come early. Uh, where did Father go?”

Lee Seong-han sat on the bench and started acting drunk.

Unfocused eyes, a red flush and the smell of alcohol. Clothes faintly disheveled.

Even a three-year-old child can tell right away, ““Ah, you drank alcohol.””

Just looking at the bottles of alcohol on the table, there are double digits. There’s no way he drank all that by himself.

“Your Majesty?”

Kang Mi-young called Lee Seong-han. Even though he was still, a sweet smell rose from the tip of his nose. It was like when he had dealt with Eros before.

Lee Seong-han’s face became more relaxed with each passing moment.

“Wow. Major.”

Kang Mi-young was dumbfounded in front of the door. It’s not easy to control your body.

“Okay, let’s join for a moment.”

I awkwardly found a seat and took a bite of the sausage that I had left out as a side dish. Mmm, it was delicious. Did Lee Seong-han cook it? As expected, his cooking skills were top-notch. Even the most skilled chefs couldn’t keep up with him.

She took a sip of the canned beer next to her. How long has it been since she last drank alcohol this comfortably? Kang Mi-young’s face quickly turned red.

Originally, Kang Mi-young was weak to alcohol. So when she went to places like pojangmacha, she tried to drink as much water as possible or even fruit drinks.

Lee Seong-han laughed bashfully when he saw that. They say drunk people aren’t afraid of anything. It seems like the distance between them has been reduced.

“Hehehehehe······ Commander! Would you like some sausages?”

“Cow, sausage.”

“Yes.”

Shit, this is serious.

Kang Mi-young chewed her lower lip. Her head was fine, but her body was not in her right mind, so she instinctively wanted to bite it. What should I say? An instinctive marking process?

I could barely suppress the urge to take a picture.

“Wow, Soryeonim’s outfit is so pretty.”

“… … .”

Kang Mi-young grabbed Lee Seong-han’s arm and pushed him into the guest room. It was an empty room, with only a bed and a few pieces of furniture.

“Huh.”

Lee Seong-han, who was rolling on the floor, pressed his forehead. Kang Mi-young took a deep breath and locked the door.

“Your Majesty.”

“Yes······ Major.”

Kang Mi-young licked her lips.

“Is this place soundproof?”

“No. Dad······ Daughter! When building a wall, you only think about durability, so I can hear it all.”

“Huh. That’s right. I’m too drunk to remember anything anyway.”

Lee Seong-han once said that he is weak to alcohol, so he only drinks with his parents. He also blacks out countless times.

“Have you ever been in love? Tell me the truth.”

“Are you in love?”

Lee Seong-han hiccupped. Unlike the half-smiling face he had been having earlier, his face looked quite serious.

Lee Seong-han has never done anything like that.

This is what is called a ‘mother solo’.

“No······ Women hate me.”

“?”

Kang Mi-young gave me a look that seemed to say, ‘What the hell are you talking about?’

“Ugh, don’t look at me like that. My heart is going to burst.”

It was a very disheveled appearance, and even the reaction was delicious. Kang Mi-young gulped.

Isn’t this a story about a boss who is harassing his subordinate? What if I report it? It’s a sexual crime. And it’s a crime of viewing the subordinate as an object of desire.

Lee Seong-han continued to talk about himself, seemingly unaware of such feelings.

“Everyone was surprised when they saw me and were whispering something from afar. They even glared at me. On top of that, they took all my work away from me, so it was so hard. I felt like I was turned into a doll. Sob.”

Now I’ve even shed tears. It’s so shameful to come to work and just loaf around without doing anything.

Everyone was taking my work and taking all my assignments, so I was halfway there even if I just sat still.

If you talk to them, they run away, and if you try to provoke someone, they become one in heart and mind and act forcefully.

“You won’t abandon me, will you, Major?”

Kang Mi-young flinched when she saw Lee Seong-han’s disheveled face. Soon, she ran out of the room.

“······Ugh, ugh.”

I almost couldn’t stand it.

* * *

“Whew, calm down… … This is just drunkenness.”

Kang Mi-young climbed the mountain behind her to calm her mind. She wasn’t wearing pajamas, but rather, a comfortable workout outfit. The moonlight was shining down on the forest, making it very bright.

As I was walking through the forest, I got a phone call. I squinted my eyes at the caller. It was a familiar name.

-where are you.

It was Kang Jin-young. Kang Mi-young was furious. It was clear that he was trying to backtrack. How could he, as an agent of the National Intelligence Service, not work hard for the country and get caught up in such trivial things?

“Loser.”

Kkuk. After saying a few words and hanging up, the call came again. Kang Mi-young rolled her eyes as if she was annoyed and answered the phone.

-You bastard. Where did you kidnap our Seonghan?

I have to make this clear now. I’m tired of wrestling with the same guy.

“I’m raising you as my own sireum. Hehe. If you want to find it, look for it. I left everything there. I’m already living with my mother and father. We even had a meal together. Have you ever tried Lee Seong-han’s cooking?”

-······You even had a meal? Yeah, I guess it was your sister who told you not to call. You have to maintain your dignity.

Kang Jin-young asked in a low tone, as if he was suppressing his anger. A phlegmy sound came out through the speaker, as if he was suppressing his anger.

-Listen carefully, Seonghan-ssi was the one I liked first. Seonghan-ssi was the only one who saved me when I almost died that day. This is fate. Sister, instead of throwing salt in the coffin, why don’t you find someone else? There are a lot of really nice kids in the chaebol families these days. Hey, there are hunters too!!

“Someone else······.”

It doesn’t even catch my eye. It only showed up at a meeting of the Federation of Korean Industries. It was for publicity purposes.

There are a truckload of people trying to hold hands there. 50% of them meet just because they are fans, but the rest are different stories.

They are trying to use themselves as a stepping stone to achieve their goals. Even looking at it this way, she is the eldest daughter of Kangcheon. She may one day inherit the huge conglomerate called Kangcheon.

What if I get married?

If you become a son-in-law, your life will be bright. Your family’s status will also rise vertically.

“Ha, can you meet me just once?”

“I’d like to talk to you about Hunter Bureau equipment supply issues. Is that okay?”

Those who try to create a hierarchy and a line in various ways, and those who believe only in their own golden authority. It’s full of such people.

I didn’t worry about it. I didn’t have to. It was a man who looked at me purely. No matter how many times I looked at him, I never got tired of it.

“They say that a love fight is like cutting water with a knife. It’s useless. But a fight for love requires bloodshed. This is advice from my older sister.”

Kang Mi-young clenched her teeth.

“And you want to win it? Then you’ll have to shed your own blood. Do you think it’ll work to block out shallow hatred and resentment? Hehehe. If you want to fight a war, prepare. Don’t let that trashy bitch just talk. ”

That’s enough talking. She’s a girl who’s going to filter things out anyway.
