‘What should I do…it’s really Jihoon…’

Yujeong couldn’t take her eyes off Jihoon, who was walking towards her.

Ever since I realized my feelings for him, he has been confessing to me countless times in my imagination every night before I go to sleep.

[That feeling of liking me couldn’t have disappeared like a bubble in just a few months.]

Yujeong couldn’t stop rationalizing to herself.

There’s no way people can change that easily.

Although Ji-hoon has become cold to himself… he treats him indifferently, as if he were a pebble on the side of the road…

Even if it is a very small feeling in my heart, it will definitely remain.

Yoo-jeong could never have known that there was a 10-year gap between herself and Ji-hoon that could not be overcome.

“What is it? Here again? I guess he comes here more often than I do, seeing as he’s there every time I come”

Ji-hoon approached the food truck and gave Yu-jeong a friendly greeting, her face burning red.

I don’t know about Jihoon, but these days, Yujeong visits the hot dog food truck every single day.

There was very little chance of meeting Jihoon other than here.

In order to see his face at least once, she went to the extent of self-hypnosis and said she was addicted to hot dogs, buying hot dogs every day.

“Are you here, student? You two are friends, right? These days, this friend is much more-”

“Boss!!!”

Yoo-jeong shouts urgently and covers the boss’s mouth.

I didn’t want to be caught visiting the food truck every day.

The adolescence of laughing and crying even at small things is long gone, but

These days, Yujeong instantly becomes a shy girl whenever she stands in front of Jihoon.

“Keuhumhmmm…I’m speechless…Anyway, what should I give the student? Are you going to eat what you always eat? Three?”

“Yes, three. Please sprinkle some cheese.”

“Student, do you think your appetite is back to normal? Do you think the amount of cheese is gradually decreasing?”

“After taking it for a few months, I finally feel less craving for the greasy feeling. As expected, Koreans are simple.”

Jihoon exchanges lame jokes with his boss.

Next to him, Yoo-jeong said that it was a coincidence (pretending to be a coincidence) that he had been hoping for, but when it happened, he was once again unable to speak properly.

“I…I like to eat plain too…”

Yoo-jeong musters up the courage to talk to Ji-hoon.

“Oh really?”

end.

It was over.

Jihoon doesn’t seem to be very pleased with her attempt at small talk, which she barely managed to muster up the strength to do.

“Huh?”

at that time.

Jihoon’s eyes turn to Changhoon, who is located behind Yujeong.

From the moment Jihoon approached, Jihoon found him looking at the floor and clenching his fingernails.

“Are you Changhoon? I thought it was some kind of hunchback. Why are you doing this? If you saw it, you should pretend like you know it. Is this the first time since the quarterly evaluation?”

Jihoon smiles brightly and talks to Changhoon.

But he couldn’t answer anything.

The cold sweat running down his back and his legs shaking like crazy clearly showed his current condition.

“Why is there no answer? How are your legs? I heard that it stuck well”

Changhoon’s heart was pounding so hard that he couldn’t even breathe anymore.

Just a few minutes ago, he was actively disparaging Jihoon in front of Yoo Jeong-ui.

They say they won’t leave you alone… they say you scammed me…

Chang-hoon, who had been cursing Ji-hoon while spitting out various curses, was unable to even utter a sound in front of Ji-hoon like Yu-jeong had said earlier.

“Ah! Yujeong, you are a healer, right?”

“Huh? Ugh… I’m a healer-”

Jihoon takes a step toward Changhoon and places his hand on the back of his waist.

“Ugh!!!”

Jihoon has taken just one step, and Baekwol hasn’t even been chosen yet…

Changhoon falls to the floor, screaming as if he had seen a ghost.

Where he falls, liquid drips down his pants and wets the floor.

“Oh…don’t come! Don’t come!”

Changhoon screams and waves his hands in the air as if chasing away a ghost.

An ice crystal made of magic appears in his hands and then falls.

“Ah…did you…pee? Ugh…it’s dirty, I think Baekwol will be angry…”

Jihoon was contemplating whether or not to pull out the bag from his waist, but he threw out a word as if he were being considerate.

“It’s a feeling. Changhoon. Let’s cut the legs later.”

“Aaaah!!!”

As soon as he hears Jihoon’s words, Changhoon jumps up from his seat and starts running screaming.

In front of Seol Yu-jeong, whom he has had a crush on for a long time.

Did he not remember anything about the previous situation, which was right after his confession was rejected by her?

Changhoon was running, shouting for the neighborhood to leave.

Traces of his fear were slowly soaking the floor as he ran.

“Next time, I will use my hand first instead of scaring you.”

Watching Changhoon walking away, Jihoon turned his eyes to the hot dog being made again.

“Ji…Jihoon…”

“Huh? Are you not going? Didn’t you eat it all?”

Yoo-jeong throws the empty hot dog paper into the trash can and orders another one from the boss.

“Changhoon…why don’t you just look at him now?”

Yu-jeong no longer has any interest in Chang-hoon.

Regardless of Changhoon, she was just pretending to be nice and making up words to get Jihoon’s attention.

“I don’t like it?”

Jihoon’s chic answer.

There wasn’t any backstory… but just because of the atmosphere, Yujeong was able to get the backstory out.

What are you, meddling?

Ji-hoon is heartless and never takes his eyes off the hot dog even when he is trying hard to talk to him.

It was Yu-jeong who wanted to get his attention somehow.

“How long… How long will you live in the pain of the past… Because you have changed too, now-”

“Fuhu”

As soon as Jihoon hears Yoojeong’s words, he can’t help but laugh.

“What is the pain of the past? Every time I see that guy, I have to cut off his legs. Just thinking about how Yeonhwa cried when I brought up that guy…”

“Yeonhwa? Who is Yeonhwa?”

Yu-jeong feels her heart drop for a moment and steps closer to Ji-hoon.

Jihoon…maybe he has a girl?

Ji-hoon liked him so much that he couldn’t even get close to him and only watched him cautiously from afar.

He suddenly changed in an instant

Why didn’t I think that maybe it was because I had a woman?

softening?

Just by hearing Am, I’m sure it’s a girl’s name…

“Who is Yeonhwa? Does Changhoon know? Do you happen to know someone?”

Yu-jeong, like a crazy person, couldn’t understand Ji-hoon’s words properly and was spouting nonsense.

“What…what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly turn away? What can you do?”

Ji-hoon looks at Yoo-jeong who suddenly approaches with strange eyes, but then takes the hot dog handed to him by the boss and starts walking.

“Ji…Jihoon! Wait…who is Yeonhwa…Oh, by the way, let me know your phone number-”

Yu-jeong quickly came to her senses and tried to catch Ji-hoon, who was leaving, and ask him for his number, but he was running away with an expression as if he was trying to avoid a crazy person.

Tuk

fighting

Tears drop from Yujeong’s eyes and fall to the floor.

What kind of feeling is this?

unrest? Sad? Disappointed? regret?

Yoo-jeong wipes away the falling tears with her sleeve and waits for the hot dog she ordered again.

Yoo-jeong accepts the hot dog again and takes a bite.

This hot dog, which I eat every day these days, is truly delicious.

I thought it was because I hypnotized myself into thinking it was delicious…

That wasn’t it.

Every single bite I was chewing actually felt really delicious.

She had no idea that her obsession with Jihoon was already changing many things about her.

“Whoa…”

gulp

Academy Class 1 exclusive training center

Jihoon sighs as he drinks a Coke from the vending machine in front of the training center building.

“It doesn’t increase as easily as I thought…”

After the incident with Professor Gong, Ji-hoon has been devoting himself to training through the realization of magical power for several days with his help.

Jihoon was devoting all of the personal training time required for academy cadets to magical power training.

Ji-hoon realized that as soon as his skill level goes up, his magic power consumption goes up as well.

“The hunter level remains the same but the skill level only increases, so it is not balanced…”

Jihoon judged his situation accurately.

The thing you should pay most attention to right now is the operation of horsepower and increasing the amount of horsepower.

Of course, this was possible because Big Number and Brown were searching for the heart of the dragon together with allied guilds spread around the world.

Thanks to that, Jihoon was able to focus on developing his hunter skills while attending the academy.

Douuu

“Ha…”

No matter how hard he tried to raise his magical power, which had already been used up, not a single drop came out.

As Jihoon continued to train, he was feeling more and more frustrated.

Unlike martial arts, you couldn’t overdo magic training even if you wanted to.

If you run out of magical power, all you can do is wait for it to recover…

Jihoon was used to overworking his body, putting in time, and pushing his limits.

Therefore, it was natural that this was my first time feeling this kind of frustration.

Duuut

Jihoon throws away the cola can and raises his magic again.

As expected, the depleted mana did not respond to him.

“I wish I could pick up a magical power pouch somewhere. Even if I want to train, I can’t…”

Someone was walking in front of Jihoon, who was lamenting.

At this time, Jihoon didn’t know.

now,

His magic pouch was walking towards him.
