The sound of longing being shattered resembled the pronunciation of cock.

“I became convinced only after seeing it in person. I like small dicks!”

“Ah, no, Chae Seo-ah… .”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even say anything. Stretch out your chest and straighten your back. For something that is said with confidence. It was a statement that disturbed those who heard it.

How absurd her confident words were, Ojik and Mun Ha-yeon, who had been fighting for a while, were looking at Chae Seo-ah with dumbfounded expressions.

“It was good to touch it, and it was good to put it on my thigh. It’s also flowing while dangling. It’s also red and swollen from being chafed. And yet, they are determined to somehow leave behind their genes… .”

Chae Seo-ah’s new model shakes for a moment. Before she knew it, her tightly-held power had moved right in front of Ojik’s nose and was stuck in her solar plexus.

bang!!

From where I was standing to the food court counter. Ojiji flew in a neat straight line and was half stuck on the counter.

Chae Seo-ah raises her fist stretched out in front of her. I exhale a more peaceful breath. I clenched my dusty hands tightly again.

Wearing a red vigilante uniform. With her black pigtails flying. Her back is facing the pouring dust with a peaceful smile on her face. It was like a painting.

“You suck!”

As I see the scenery being destroyed, a memory suddenly passes by like a flash of light. Come to think of it, Chae Seo-ah was just looking at my crotch the whole time.

The reason I said I would guard you and the reason I didn’t sign up for candidacy… . No, then my serious concern is… .

“No, fuck, why now… .”

Ojik’s head, which had been trembling, dropped. Because I was thinking exactly the same thing as her right now. The face was distorted by a strange sense of unity.

The power of Chae Seo-ah’s explosive remarks was truly amazing. Everyone who was rushing out had strange expressions on their faces. Oh and I line up and start heading out in an orderly manner.

The back of my head felt strangely stinging from all the stares, but I decided not to worry about that for now.

Even Ha-yeon Moon was erasing the expression from her face. I was able to feel a similar sentiment as I did in her eyes as she looked at the back of Chae Seo-ah, who was making a phone call somewhere while holding Ojik by the collar.

‘I wake up… .’

In the ruined food court, I took a moment to reflect on life’s lesson that reality never goes as I expect.

*

“Here it is.”

Ojiri, with his hands and feet tightly bound, is handed over to the vigilantes. From afar, I saw someone wearing a uniform bending over and begging the supermarket owner.

The confident appearance of Chae Seo-ah, shaking off the dust from her gloves and looking at the car moving away, made it impossible to believe that she was the one who had just said those words.

Chae Seo-ah’s eyes turn to where the group is sitting. Ha-yeon Moon gently pulled Park Jeong-woo’s shoulder and whispered in a low voice.

“No, don’t make eye contact. Hey, he seems like a strange person… .”

The words were rising to the top of my throat, asking what you wanted to say, but Park Jeong-woo didn’t say them. Even though I received first aid, my side still hurt and I had no energy to fight.

Chae Seo-ah walks with a neat gait. With a subtle expression, he shakes off the dust from his clothes and bows his head.

“Sorry. Mr. Park Jeong-woo.”

It was an apology that made me think a lot. There were so many things to point out, I had no idea what the apology was about.

Instead of questioning that point. Park Jeong-woo asked a question.

“Is that why you said you would provide security?”

“… That’s right. From the first time I saw it at the bank… .”

At first glance, it seemed like a story of love at first sight, but it made Park Jeong-woo bitter that the object of those words was his crotch.

He scratched his knee and let out a small sigh. He leaned more comfortably on Ha-yeon Moon and spoke in a mutter.

“It’s okay. It’s not like I was forced to do it, it was helpful in the end… .”

Moon Ha-yeon, who was looking down at Park Jeong-woo as if proud, avoided her gaze. There seemed to be something stinging about the word ‘forced’.

Chae Seo-ah, who was still keeping her head down, slowly raised her head.

“That too, but soon there will be rumors… .”

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s okay.”

It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have any bad thoughts. However, I didn’t think it was Chae Seo-ah’s fault.

His own carelessness in trying to easily let go of the secret he had sworn to keep. And I just couldn’t regret being weak.

Chae Seo-ah looked at Park Jeong-woo with an expression of discomfort. She bowed her head once more and spoke with an uncharacteristic hesitation.

“The reward will be delivered from the vigilante group within today. … I hope to see you again. Mr. Park Jeong-woo.”

“Yes, me too.”

Park Jeong-woo responded that it was no big deal. Chae Seo-ah looked at him quietly, then bowed her head once more. I headed to where the other vigilantes were.

“… Are you sure you’re okay? Jeongwoo… .”

“What? Ojeong was caught, and there’s nothing more to explode now.”

“No, that’s not it… .”

Moon Ha-yeon, who had been hesitant, spoke less. It seemed like he was muttering that he hoped it was nothing to worry about, but Park Jeong-woo wasn’t listening.

Park Jeong-woo, whose eyes were half closed due to fatigue, blinked slowly. The blinking speed gradually increased, and soon both eyes opened wide.

-Create new general skills!

*

Sometimes a hunter’s skills are created under easier conditions than expected, and sometimes they are not created at all.

It was clearly a lucky time. Naturally, hope suddenly soars. This time, you will definitely have developed a good skill that matches your good karma!

*

-General skill: Possibility (C)

Possibility of straight growth.

The status growth rate is adjusted upward.

*

However, he wasn’t that stupid either. Something else might happen. Just like before, I thought that my skills might change in a strange direction again. I forcibly lowered my high expectations.

*

-Adjusting skills…

-Review: Action.

*

Okay, look. This was going to happen anyway. Park Jeong-woo wasn’t too disappointed.

“… Didn’t I do something really bad in my past life?”

“Uh, huh? Suddenly?”

“I thought it was karma. just… It’s nothing.”

“… I think you, too, have become strange. Is it because of Chae Seo-ah? .”

Park Jeong-woo glanced at Moon Ha-yeon, who suddenly began to think seriously. It was very cute to see him groaning and worrying with a serious expression on his face.

The translucent window shook.

*

-General skill: Possible (B)

*

… There’s just one letter missing. It felt like the tone had completely changed. Even though his skill level increased, a premonition passed through Park Jeong-woo’s head that the growth would not be in a good direction.

*

-General skill: Possible (B)

Your potential can change a person’s life.

Please expose the hidden walls and create tastes that did not exist before.

People who see you feel ‘possibility’.

*

“Damn.”

“Uh, huh? Me, me, what you said to me, didn’t you? Is it Jeongwoo?”

“No. Just a little bit. Because something like that happened… .”

Life was hard, so harsh words inevitably came out. Park Jeong-woo couldn’t escape the feeling that he was stepping on each and every path leading to the semen tank.

Park Jeong-woo, who was leaning his head on Moon Ha-yeon’s shoulder, sits a little closer. As her hair tickled the nape of her neck, strength went into her body as she sat comfortably.

Park Jeong-woo leaned his entire weight on Moon Ha-yeon and exhaled more comfortably. Surprisingly, his expression was not that dark.

“Hey, Jeongwoo. It’s really good, right… ?”

“Of course. I feel refreshed, but I’m a little tired… .”

Today was a day full of unbecoming actions. While Ojik, Chae Seo-ah, and Moon Ha-yeon are fighting. Park Jeong-woo put in a lot of effort to avoid being hit by a blind attack.

At that time, the aftermath of all the concentration comes. My eyes slowly closed. The warm sunlight of late afternoon. A warm breeze that slowly makes you feel the heat. The blooming forsythia petals blowing in the wind also contributed to his drowsiness.

Park Jeong-woo’s eyes are in that peaceful spring landscape. I was looking at a family.

A child smiling brightly despite being covered in dust, and his parents holding both of his small hands tightly.

In the chaos of the melee, the image of the child that Park Jeong-woo was carrying, crying and looking for his mother, gradually becomes blurred.

someday. There might come a day when I can hear people like that say thank you. he thought.

Park Jeong-woo looked at the scene and slowly closed his eyes. Even around his mouth. Even the corner of Moon Ha-yeon’s mouth as she looks at him. There was a small smile on his face.

*

‘Hunter Park Jeong-woo. who is he?’

This was at least better.

‘The shocking truth about this year’s first S-class unique skill holder… .’

This wasn’t very good.

‘A vigilante group engulfed in scandal. argument… ”It’s a big hit”

This was really bad.

It was nice to come home, take a shower and sleep. Unexpectedly, it was better for Ha-yeon Moon to leave me alone. As soon as I washed off the dust and laid my head on the blanket, I fell asleep right away. It was the best night’s sleep that felt much better than usual.

The wound on my side didn’t hurt that much, and I felt like I was going to fly. Thanks to the compensation from the vigilante group, my pockets were quite deep. The whole chicken I ordered for the first time in a while had no special taste.

A text message sent by Ha-yeon Moon. That was the case until I checked it.

The popular news rankings were dominated by yesterday’s events. Most of them were focused on Chae Seo-ah’s remarks rather than on Ojik.

Of course, I, who appeared in the words she spoke, also attracted attention. Of course, it wasn’t a very good direction.

The choice of the word “small dick,” the needlessly detailed description given by an excited Chae Seo-ah, and the eyewitness account at the bank all combined to make me feel… .

“Ha… .”

I had a headache that was as intense as I’d ever experienced in my life. I was about to throw my phone away, but I quietly put it on the blanket. Because the phone was already on the verge of breaking down.

Ding dong. Ding dong.

Let’s make a hundred concessions and say that the fact that it helped catch a criminal hunter was spread through the media. You can make as many concessions as you want. No, I was known for doing something good, so there was nothing bad about me.

Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong.

But, isn’t there a need to write such information? Why is that something to be proud of in the first place? I was on the verge of creating a complex that I didn’t know existed.

Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong

“Ah! Who are you!!”

I sit on the floor, scratch my head, and then get up from my seat. Since I was already in a bad mood, I passively expressed my dissatisfaction and anger by making pounding footsteps.

… Of course, I opened the door carefully.

“Oh, hello?”

“Good lunch.”

… Moon Ha-yeon and Chae Seo-ah were standing at the bottom of the stairs leading down to the semi-basement. The problem is that they were both dragging two large suitcases.

I closed the door again, put the chain on, and opened the door again. The smile from earlier was gone, and I saw Moon Ha-yeon with a shocked expression on her face, and Chae Seo-ah with a still expression on her face.

“Hey, Jeongwoo. Uh, remember the promise I made yesterday… ?”

“… Promise?”

“Yes, I told you to stay together starting tomorrow… . Yes, because you said you were anxious. I… .”

Ha-yeon Moon speaks while blatantly avoiding eye contact. I narrowed my eyebrows. It was obvious to my eyes that it was a lie.

That’s right, isn’t it? If he had really made that promise and I had forgotten about it, he would have already rolled his eyes and been muttering with his magic flowing.

I gave up. okay. We were planning on staying together for a week anyway. Because of the shock the news article gave me, I didn’t want to think about anything anymore.

My gaze slowly returns to Chae Seo-ah. Did you come to pick up the suitcase you left behind? If that were the case, I wouldn’t have bothered to bring another suitcase.

Make eye contact. Chae Seo-ah’s complexion was still calm. For some reason, that expression is ominous.

In a simple voice, she speaks.

“I was fired from the vigilante group. So, I would like to stay here for a while. Mr. Park Jeong-woo.”

Aren’t the front and back in sync? The answer comes out of my spinal cord.

“My house is not a hotel… ?”

A strange silence settled down at the bottom of the damp semi-basement stairs.
