I tore through the barrier and came out pretending like nothing had happened, but it wasn’t like that on the inside.

“Fucked… .”

I expected something like this to happen at some point in the near future.

But even though it’s fast, it’s too fast… .

“Where did the information leak?”

The fact that they appeared in front of me means that they picked up information about me from somewhere.

So where is the source?

As of now, university is the most likely… , There should be more people at school.

“It’s the Zodiac… .”

It’s a name I’ve never heard of.

The fact that they don’t know if they are villains or not seems to mean that they are yet to begin full-scale activities.

However, it possesses counterfeit technology that is very similar to Barrier… ?

“It looks like they are very well prepared.”

They must be very serious about their behind-the-scenes work.

If you look at the fact that they send out talented people with those skills as scouts even before they start their activities.

“K… .”

Self-identified K.

The amount of magical power flowing around him is at least Class A.

Excluding the very small number of S-class hunters in each country, using the highest-ranked hunters as scouts means that their power is that great, or that they think highly of me.

“Maybe we should have talked a little bit.”

Although they trapped me with a fake barrier, they were not dangerous.

At least not yet.

If only we had talked a little… .

“Oh, no.”

If you ask a dark-hearted bastard what his purpose is, is there any way he would give you an answer?

The kindest response to this would be to say that they will let you know when they join the organization.

“There are problems going forward.”

Right now, Zodiac isn’t a big deal.

Judging from what the guy named K said, it doesn’t seem like an organization that will make any drastic moves right away.

The problem is next.

Like the Zodiac, the number of people who have their eyes on me will continue to increase.

It would be nice if they all didn’t cross the line like the guy before, but there are always exceptions.

It’s not strange at all if there are one or two guys who are determined to kill me.

Is a villain a villain for nothing?

“Hey, I wanted to live a more leisurely life.”

Unfortunately, there is no way to escape the threat.

To do that, I would have to die, or I would have to catch all the villains and kill them or put them in prison.

The former is unpleasant, the latter is impossible.

However, there is a way to survive without dying.

Becoming stronger.

You just need to become strong enough to not feel any threat as a threat.

That’s why I was able to become an S-class hunter.

If I wanted to avoid dying and protect my precious people, I had to become stronger somehow.

It’s still the same now.

Even though the body size has changed, the need to survive is the same.

To do that, I have to live a little more tightly every day from now on… .

“Welcome. Are you hungry? “Once the stew is finished, let’s have dinner.”

“Can I eat something else before dinner?”

“huh? If you eat snacks before eating, you will lose your appetite… .”

“No, it’ll be okay.”

“What on earth are you going to eat…?” , Kyaaa!”

“Ma’am.”

“Ahhh… !”

What can I do?

If I want to protect my aunt, I have to endure that much.

While Kim Do-jin was busy on both sides, Shin Yu-jeong met a friend.

“Yujeong, it’s been so long!”

Her name is Jo Yoon-kyung.

I was one of three girls I spent three years with in high school.

Originally, I planned to meet all three.

But one of them is busy fucking and the other is busy choosing a guy to fuck at the club.

The two entered a quiet bar.

Shin Yu-jeong, who was sitting in her seat, asked Jo Yoon-kyung, who was sitting across from her.

“Other bitches say they don’t come out because they’re too busy meeting men, but you managed to come out?”

Then she smiled and said.

“I’m about quality over quantity.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Well then.

After ordering simple snacks and soju, Shin Yu-jeong drank the soju that came out first.

Surprised, Jo Yoon-kyung took the soju bottle away and asked.

“What, did something bad happen?”

“… … .”

Shin Yu-jeong’s expression was crumpled.

The image of Kim Do-jin, who had made him beg a moment ago, came to mind again.

Many emotions were complexly intertwined.

I feel angry, disappointed, and even humiliated.

What was more infuriating than anything was his attitude, as if he was watching how I answered.

It’s still vivid in my memory.

The facial expression he made when he succeeded in appealing by pulling his hair out.

“pup… .”

It was clearly an expression of pride.

It’s as if someone like a parent or teacher is surprised at the growth of the child raised under them.

Are you upset about that?

received.

But the problem is that it is not only that.

‘Fuck, fuck…’ !’

The moment she saw his satisfied expression, she felt it.

It’s just a moment, a fleeting moment, but it’s a feeling of satisfaction that comes before anger.

That made me even more angry.

Not only for Kim Do-jin, but also for himself, who was momentarily happy about something like that.

‘This can’t be happening.’

It was my first time experiencing something like this.

Being swayed back and forth by others is not something that suits you.

Especially in the relationship between yourself and Kim Do-jin.

‘I need to get a hold of it again.’

We need to get him back.

That was the only thought that lingered in my head.

“Yujeong, what’s going on?”

Her eyes turned to Jo Yoon-kyung.

The reason why I contacted her who had never contacted me.

It was to prepare a secret plan to capture Kim Do-jin.

“Hey, you did that, right? “A man does what a woman does.”

“It was like that… ? “Oh, wait a minute.”

Jo Yoon-kyung’s face was colored with astonishment.

“Is it possible that the reason you’re in a bad mood right now is because of the man?”

Shin Yu-jeong sighed and nodded with difficulty.

“… that’s right.”

“oh my god!”

Jo Yoon-kyung made a fuss.

“What’s wrong with a girl who always says she’s not interested in men?”

For her, it was worth it.

Shin Yoo-jeong, who had refused numerous times since she was a freshman in high school and offered to introduce her to a good man, saying she was not interested in men at all, is now worried about men.

“Ah, anyway! that… , how do you do it? “It’s about capturing a man.”

“Um, well.”

A playful smile appeared on her lips.

“First of all, how far has the progress progressed?”

“Ji, Jindo?”

“huh. Did you hold hands? Or a kiss?”

Jo Yoon-kyung did not have much expectations from Shin Yu-jeong.

She, who had lived on a wall with men since she was young, couldn’t help but think about how much she would have lost if she had stopped progressing.

However, the answer that came back drove her into the abyss of shock once again.

“sex… “I did.”

“What?!”

Jo Yoon-kyung woke up and hit the table without realizing it.

Then, feeling the gaze of those around me, I smiled awkwardly and sat down again.

“I did it?”

“that… , Due to an interruption, I put it in a few times but couldn’t finish it and it ended in a fuss.”

“Eck.”

A situation that is difficult for her to understand.

What kind of interference was there that made the sex stop? .

“Ah, anyway, let’s talk now.”

“You mean how to control a man?”

“Yeah, that one.”

Jo Yun-kyung smiled at the burning passion for learning in her eyes.

At the same time, I became curious.

What kind of man was he that made Shin Yoo-jeong so anxious?

Should I give her the answer she wants first, and then ask her the question?

“Not about men… .”

Jo Yoon-kyung explained step by step the know-how on how to win over a man.

“Hey, do you have to go that far?”

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Instead, the man goes to another woman… .”

“Oh, okay. “Move on.”

At first, he seemed a bit reluctant to hear the methods he was teaching, but he became quiet when he even briefly mentioned other women.

From the middle onwards, seeing her paying full attention and listening to everything he said, Jo Yoon-kyung was once again caught up in a strange feeling.

‘Is this why you say you don’t know what’s going on in the world?’

I can’t believe that a kid who didn’t even listen when they talked about boys in high school is so focused.

It’s truly something to live for a long time.

“Just stop here for now. “Maybe that alone would win over most men?”

“… “Do I really trust you and try this?”

“Yes, just trust me.”

Shin Yu-jeong’s expression became more relaxed.

It seems like the frustration in my stomach has cleared up a bit thanks to finding a way to control him again.

From then on, the two drank in a cheerful mood.

When I miss a drinking party, I tell sad old stories.

“Anyway, what should I do because I feel sorry for our Jeonghoon?”

“Kim Jung Hoon? “Why him?”

“She still likes you.”

“… okay?”

Kim Jung Hoon.

He was one of the boys I knew in high school.

She knew he liked her.

How can you not know when you go around showing off your favorite tee?

‘I thought that was the end.’

High school graduation ceremony.

Kim Jeong-hoon confessed to her that he wanted to meet her seriously.

Shin Yu-jeong, who was not interested in men, coldly rejected this offer.

From then on, I thought we were just friends who communicated occasionally.

‘You still liked me?’

I had no idea.

I thought the occasional contact was just a friend asking how I was doing.

While I was surprised by the new information I learned.

“Oh right.”

As Jo Yoon-kyung was recalling the events that happened in high school one by one, she remembered a person she had completely forgotten.

“Does she still live in the rooftop room of your building?”

Rooftop room.

There was only one rooftop room in the building she lived in, and there was only one person living there.

“If it’s a rooftop room… , Kim Do-jin?”

“Is that your name? I didn’t know because they always called me a pig. Anyway, him.”

Shin Yu-jeong smiled bitterly.

Pig.

They must have called me that because I gained so much weight back then.

“She was really scared of you back in the day. “Do you still shiver these days when we meet?”

Shin Yu-jeong’s eyebrows furrowed at Jo Yoon-kyung’s words.

“Hey, don’t overdo it. Why were you shaking so hard… .”

It wasn’t that bad.

I just stuttered and had difficulty speaking.

At least that was how she remembered it.

However, Jo Yoon-kyung’s memories were different.

“Oh, no. “I guess the next person she was scared of after Jeonghoon was you?”

“… what?”

Shin Yu-jeong’s face relaxed.

Kim Jeong-hoon was one of the members of the group who bullied Kim Do-jin the most viciously in school.

But, next to that vicious guy, he was afraid of himself… .

The shock, as if someone had hit her hard on the back of the head, turned her mind pure white.
