“Is it here? Ugh, it looks like a ghost.”

“Are you putting some kind of curse on this well-living house?”

“What floor is it?”

“Rooftop… No, no, you don’t know. Please go back quickly”

On the outskirts of Seoul, in front of a shabby multi-family house that is collapsing.

The people bickering were none other than Jihoon and Sojung.

“Rooftop room? Wow, Jihoon-ang, it worked out great! I bought this much meat, but there is also the usual stuff, right?”

Of course, Yoo Seol-hyeon, who always came in whenever the two were together, was smiling brightly, waving her black pole in front of the single-family house.

“Why are you following someone else’s house without permission?!! You all go back to your homes, please…”

“No!! No matter how high you are, you can’t fight while you’re asleep! I will never go!”

“What kind of trouble is going to happen if you leave Han So-jeong alone? I will stick with you no matter what, Jihoonang”

ha

Jihoon’s hand touches his forehead.

Looking at the leech-like stern expressions of Sojung and Seolhyun, Jihoon felt that his stamina was draining away in real time.

“No, I fight even in my sleep? To be precise, it means waking up… An expert like me can sense even the smallest signs of popularity, no matter how deeply he sleeps.”

“Don’t be funny! So, during the academy lectures, are you going to leave the world and snore while you sleep?”

“Oh my, where do I even begin to explain this…”

Sojeong no longer doubted Jihoon’s strength at all, but she couldn’t let go of her worries about his safety.

revenge for her brother

This is Ji-hoon, who killed the leader brother of the Black Hunter group.

It was obvious that the Park Ji-hyuk brothers’ subordinates would attack Ji-hoon, who came to the forefront without mentioning the name of Beautiful Guild.

Sojung knew that she couldn’t be of much help to Jihoon, but she was stubborn.

I widened my eyes next to Jihoon, who was sleeping, with the intention of watching for bad guys coming.

Of course, Jihoon wasn’t happy about her worries at all…

“It’s true, I’ve already dealt with killers in bed dozens of times”

“No anyway. I will be by your side no matter what.”

“Me too! Me too!”

“No, well… Let’s say the Park brothers’ subordinates come to my house for revenge, what are you two going to do?”

“If they sneak up on you like stray cats, I have to wake you up right away!”

“How about sleep? Are you saying you’re not going to sleep and you’re going to stand by and watch me sleep? And, do you think I’ll let you guys into my room when I sleep in the first place?”

“Once I got up, I was hungry”

“Yes Jihoon! meat! Let’s grill meat quickly”

Jihoon shakes his head at Sojeong’s stubbornness without an answer and Seolhyun’s excited voice as if she were on a picnic.

Cheeek

Pork belly is cooking on the grill making a delicious sound.

The gaze of the three people, Jihoon, Sojung, and Seolhyun, who were seated on the table in front of the door, was fixed on the ripening pork belly.

“Ugh… Cook quickly, quickly. It smells so good.”

Seolhyun was staring intently at the pork belly, almost as if she was trying to grill it with her eyes.

“He followed me home, but he wouldn’t be affectionate if I pushed him away too coldly, so I just came in…So, while you guys are saying nice things, just eat this meat and go back home, okay?”

“I don’t like it.”

“Now, Jihoon-ang, I’ll pour you a drink”

“No…I asked if you were on a picnic…Why did you bring me alcohol again, Seolhyun Yoo”

“I would be disappointed if soju was missing from pork belly. I’ve been living alone for a long time, so I’m pretty good at cooking. Sojeong is not good at cooking, so leave dinner to me from now on!”

Seolhyun puts on a dignified expression and exudes confidence.

“I…I’m good at cooking too!”

“Hehe? The shock of chicken breast kimbap still remains clearly on my tongue?”

“Well…it was a nutritious food…so it just tasted a little less delicious! Don’t you know that food is more about nutrition than taste? Then you are only grilling pork belly…what kind of dish is pork belly!”

“Hi! It’s all cooked!! Jihoon-ang, I’ll give you a wrap, just wait!”

Due to Sojung and Seolhyeon’s bickering, Jihoon’s house, which was always quiet and quiet, became very noisy.

Jihoon’s rooftop room has suddenly become the venue for a meat party.

The three started chatting enthusiastically and eating and drinking eagerly.

“Then, Sojung, you sleep for 4 hours first, then I sleep for 4 hours, shall we split it like this?”

(I heard there’s no need for that…)

“Yes, I like it. Seolhyun, when you wake up, I will protect you from then on.”

(…You both eat meat and go home…I’m deciding what turn to watch)

“Can I make up for the lack of sleep during academy lectures?”

“Yes, I’m always at the top even if I don’t attend lectures, so I don’t think there will be any problems with academy life.”

“That’s just bullshit… Can’t you both hear me?”

“You eat meat!”

Sojung and Seolhyeon, who ignore everything Jihoon says, are about to clean the plate again and put on a new piece of meat.

Jihoon’s eyes narrow slightly as he looks down at his feet.

Sojung, who didn’t miss this small change in Jihoon, stops cooking the meat and looks in the same direction as Jihoon.

An alley where the evening sunset turns red and the street lights turn on one by one.

Middle and high school students returning home from school and mothers shopping for groceries.

The alley of Daltongnae, seen from the rooftop, looked very ordinary and peaceful.

At least in Sojeong’s eyes…

but

“Kang Ji-hoon…Why? What did you find?”

“……”

Jihoon’s expression, which did not respond, was slightly distorted, different from what it was just a moment ago.

“Oh…it’s getting annoying…”

Jihoon muttering to himself indifferently

His gaze had been fixed somewhere in the distance for a while and did not move easily.

“Ji Hoon-ang, why? What do you do other than eat meat?”

Only then did Seolhyun seem to sense Jihoon’s presence and focus on him.

“Kang Ji-hoon…Why can’t we see? Is there anyone over there?”

“Phew…”

Only then does Jihoon pick up the glass of soju, pour it into his mouth, and answer.

“Oh, it came sooner than I expected. Those guys”

“What?!”

“They came? where! Where are you Jihoon?”

After hearing Jihoon’s answer, Sojung and Seolhyun were shocked and strained their eyes to look at the distant alley, but it was a distance that they could never see or feel.

“Aura… seems like a pretty decent guy?”

“Se…are you a strong guy? yes? Look… I knew they would come for revenge… But I didn’t know they would come so quickly…”

Sojung tries to raise her magical power by making a quite solemn expression.

“Arthur. Sit down and eat the meat, it’s already gone.”

Jihoon’s words attract the attention of the two women.

“What? Are you going?”

“I guess they came here to do reconnaissance or surveillance or something like that”

“But why just leave?”

“I don’t know, right? You said you left because you made eye contact with me?”

“Eye contact?”

Jihoon’s rooftop room, which was located on a very high ground, had a view of the alleys of the lower neighborhood, which were quite far away.

but,

No matter how much of a sight you see at a glance, how can you make eye contact with someone who is located more than a dozen meters away?

That wasn’t possible based on common sense.

furthermore,

There were more than one person walking down the street.

It was natural that Sojung and Seolhyun couldn’t understand why they found Black Hunter among them and stared at him.

“They are more believable than I thought, right? Well, you’ll have to see how much magic they use to know, but even if they can’t do it, I think they’ll be Class A”

“A…A grade? Are you saying that the Black Hunters who came for revenge are Class A? Um… As expected, the Park Ji-hyuk brothers… The exact number of subordinates under them and their combat abilities are not known properly! You can’t let down your guard!”

Sojung seems to be overcome by tension in an instant, wiping away the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

“Well…but how did you recognize people you’ve never seen before from such a distance?”

“Bad guys have a unique dark energy. I am a person who is very good at catching that.”

Jihoon puts the meat back into his mouth and chews it.

“If it weren’t for you guys, I would have opened the movement skill portal and chased him down and killed him…”

Sojung and Seolhyun felt a strange sense of déjà vu when they saw Jihoon spitting out the word “killing people” without any hesitation.

“Well…but…?”

“The ones I just discovered were three, but there may be others lurking around somewhere, so I think it would be better to wait for now.”

So-jung and Seol-hyeon continue to look around and try to find what Ji-hoon is talking about, the ‘energy of bad guys’.

“Eat the meat, you don’t have to be so nervous. They will all die by my hands anyway.”

As Ji-hoon tries to reassure them, So-jung and Seol-hyeon start grilling meat again.

The two people’s gazes meet in the air for a moment.

‘It’s a good thing Jihoon followed me home, as expected…it’s dangerous…’

Both people were thinking the same thing, that their choice was right.

“Ha… Really, it’s annoying… Okay, I think it would be better for you to stay at my house for a while. Until I take care of them all…oh really…”

Jihoon’s irritated voice

Now that the scouts had seen the faces of Sojung and Seolhyeon who were with them, the safety of the two could not be guaranteed.

Sojung and Seolhyun thought they were protecting Jihoon, but in reality, Jihoon was protecting them.

“Then, you will accept us, right?”

“What do you accept? I mean, just stay for a while until they are all taken care of. It’s dangerous-”

Wow

I don’t listen to what Jihoon says.

Sojung and Seolhyun share a high five with an expression that says they accomplished something.
