The results of the Hunter Qualification Test were submitted as a club activity report.

“The above student achieved excellent grades in the first quarter hunter qualification exam conducted this year and greatly enhanced the reputation of the school, so we are awarding this certificate.”

Clap clap clap!

“… Uh, um.”

Reporters who came running after smelling a scoop, scouts who jumped into the recruitment war, and even students who took their seats to somehow get to know each other.

I even received a certificate in a place where a large number of people gathered.

what… , in a way, this is a natural result.

Since the Hunter Qualification Test was implemented as a global standard, there are at most less than 200 people who have obtained a Hunter license in their teens.

If you count those who have acquired level B certifications, the number is only about twenty.

It would be even weirder if there wasn’t an uproar since we obtained a record that only less than 20 people in the world have.

There’s one more thing.

“Now, this is the club room provided to the Heonjahwi club.”

“wow… .”

4th floor of the east building.

A large club room, reserved only for popular clubs with tens to hundreds of members and filled with reports with all kinds of activities, was given to a new club with only five members.

“How much is this?” .”

“There are more than four rooms?”

“oh my god!”

“Hunter qualification test… “Maybe it would have been good to see it?”

Things turned out to be bigger than I thought.

I originally started out with the intention of getting a small club room to come and rest during public lectures or when I have free time, but I never thought it would end up like this.

The administrative staff member who guided us to the club room handed me a document.

What is this?

“If you need any supplies, please write them down here and submit them. “There are instructions from above to pay special attention, so most things will be taken care of.”

“thank you.”

“And if you have any questions… , excuse me.”

She quietly hands me a folded note.

“W, please call the number listed here.”

Judging by his blushing face, it looks like it’s his cell phone number, not the administrative office number.

Well, there is no reason to refuse this favor.

He receives the note and responds to her with a smile.

“Yes I will.”

“Wow, it’s hot. “I’ll just leave now.”

An administrative office employee runs away, fanning his red face with his hand.

Afterwards, we had a meeting with team members to decide how each room would be used.

Four rooms divided into two on each side of the waiting room.

Among them, the first room on the left was decided to be used as a conference room.

Well, we don’t really have to discuss club issues, but we are one team.

The decision was made because there was a space to talk about various things, whether it was a task or a dungeon strategy.

And the next room is the lounge.

We decided to use soft sofas and folding beds to create a space where you can relax comfortably.

The first room on the right was then designated as the manager’s office.

“Is the manager’s office really necessary?”

Personally, I was wondering if it was necessary, but Shin Yu-jeong pushed for it strongly.

“Uh huh, we still need to have a variety.”

No matter how closed the club is, since it is attracting public attention, it is necessary to have an assortment in preparation for who will come.

In the end, after one of the rooms was decided to be the manager’s office, he was secretly smiling darkly, but I guess there was someone else up there.

We decided to leave the one remaining room empty for now.

Rather than deciding where to use everything in advance, I want to fill in what I really crave while using it.

“So now… “Let’s organize the necessary supplies.”

Write down the items to be filled in the empty room.

Desks, chairs, folding beds, sofas, coffee machines, etc… .

“… “You’re not criticizing me because it’s a club with only five people, right?”

I’ve written so much that it’s even come out like this.

But don’t worry, kids.

“I heard there was an order from above to pay attention. So, first of all, write down everything you need.”

They told me to pay attention to it from above, but I’m sure it won’t end up looking ugly with just a few fixtures.

It was only after the wide margins were filled with small letters that it was finished.

We went straight to the administration office and handed the documents to the employee who had guided us earlier, and he looked surprised, but then he tried to control his expression somehow.

“Ahaha… , I’ll ask for it first.”

“Yes, please.”

They’re probably swearing inside, saying, ‘These bastards told me to decorate the club room, and now they’re making a living.’

“Phew, is this the end for now?”

We obtained the eastern room, and also requested the equipment to be used there… .

Now all I have to do is wait.

I head to the restaurant where my team members are waiting.

Jiying-

The smartphone beeps loudly, indicating the arrival of a message.

I wanted someone to check it out.

《Eunbi’s sister: Dojin! Are you very busy? There’s no contact…ㅎ》

A message arrived from Eunbi Kim, whom I had forgotten about for a while.

Now that I think about it, I’ve been so busy these days that I haven’t even given her a proper reply to her messages.

“I’m a little sorry.”

I don’t know if the only message that arrived was today.

However, if you look at the chat room with her, there are almost 10 of them filled with one-sided messages.

There are ten, roughly once every day or two… , I haven’t contacted you in almost two weeks.

“It’s about time.”

Although it wasn’t intentional, the time was definitely ripe thanks to it.

You can tell just by looking at the message sent so passionately.

That she is sincere to me.

“then… , first.”

I sent a reply to Eunbi Kim, who must have been waiting until now.

《Dojin Dojin: Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been a little hectic these days so I haven’t been able to contact you.》

Go straight to someone else’s chat room.

Unlike Kim Eun-bi, who has been sending messages consistently for two weeks, the chat room with Ryu-jin is empty.

“This is embarrassing, this.”

She is definitely interested in me too.

It was similar to Kim Eun-bi, but it was definitely not lacking.

Nevertheless, is the reason he doesn’t send me a message because he’s quick to notice?

“I don’t want to look like I’m stealing the guy my friend likes.”

I’m curious.

What kind of reaction will I get if I send her a message first?

《Dojin: What are you doing?》

Write a short message and send it.

And soon after, the number 1 disappears and a reply comes back.

《Sister Ryujin: Food.》

A short reply.

However, the point to pay attention to here is not the content, but the time when the reply is returned.

“I think the reply was too quick considering I was trying to stay away.”

Suddenly I start to have doubts.

Did you just stop sending me messages because you lost interest in me?

Then it would be difficult.

While he was worried, he constantly exchanged messages with Kim Eun-bi, who opened up a conversation.

When I sent a message that I was now a little free, I immediately received an offer for a direct meal.

Laughter escapes me without even realizing it.

“It’s cute.”

I was told that any time would be fine as long as it was okay with me, so I checked the schedule and made an appointment for Saturday.

Then, he goes straight to Ryujin’s chat room and sends her a similar message.

《Dojin: What are you doing on Saturday?》

She will know too.

When a man asks what you do on a certain day or date, it’s a sign that you want to meet up.

It will probably end here.

If she loses interest in me, she won’t want to meet me.

If you’re still interested… .

《Ryujin’s sister: I’m planning to stay home… why?》

“okay.”

《Dojin: Let’s have dinner together on Saturday. Eunbi said she was shooting me a shot to commemorate passing the exam.》

You must have been quite embarrassed to receive this message.

I thought they were talking about meeting up, but my friend Eunbi Kim was involved.

Maybe he’ll suddenly make an excuse saying he has an appointment.

《Sister Ryujin: Oh, I forgot I had work to do at that time. Let’s just eat for two.》

《Dojin: I know I don’t have an appointment, so I’ll come out. If you don’t come out, you’ll really regret it.》

《Sister Ryujin: No;; I really have a promise.》

Ignoring the obvious lie, I send her a reply with the meeting place and time that Kim Eun-bi arrived at just in time.

《Dojin: Saturday evening at 7pm, Restaurant JJ in Apgujeong. I said it clearly, I.》

There is no reply from her.

Well, I left a clear warning, so you’ll find out on Saturday.

Will he come out saying he doesn’t like it, or will he flatly refuse?

I’m looking forward to it for no reason.

* * *

Another day.

As time passed, Kim Eun-bi spent more time wandering alone and immersed in delusions.

What kind of conversation should we have over dinner, what clothes should we wear, what should we do with our makeup?

‘I’m a hunter after all, so do you think it would be a good idea to talk about that? No, no. Hunter is going to be my job, but if I just talk about that, I might get more stressed… .’

The more I think about it, the more excited and confused I feel at the same time.

The more I thought about it, the less I knew about him.

What kind of food do you like, what are your hobbies, and above all, what kind of woman is your ideal type?

“Hey… , I shouldn’t have been shy to ask you last time we had drinks together.”

I regret the past times when I acted shy for no reason.

What if I had just expressed my interest in him a little more explicitly?

Then, Eunbi Kim shakes her head vigorously and taps my cheek.

“Ugh, no. “It’s not too late.”

Who knows each other so well from the beginning?

As we continue to meet with good feelings, we begin to realize things one by one through conversation.

‘That’s the joy of the process of building relationships, right? Yep.’

I’m trying to think positively, but I’m still a little anxious.

If it had been just the two of us meeting, I wouldn’t have been so anxious.

‘Jin decided to come too… .’

I keep having ominous thoughts.

I picture a situation in my mind where two people are happily talking to each other, and I am just watching like a sack of barley.

“Ah, no!”

To be honest, I want to send a message to Ryujin right away.

I want to meet Kim Do-jin tomorrow, so can I leave just once?

But I couldn’t do that.

Ryujin is her best friend.

“It might seem like you care more about a man you’ve only met a few times than a friend… .”

It is because of the thought that misguided greed may end up estrangement from one another.

It was a time when I was lost in worry, unable to do this or that.

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

The fact that my younger brothers Kim Jeong-hoon and Kim Do-jin were high school classmates.

“Yes, that’s right! “Why didn’t I think of that?!”

It was only a year or two ago when I was in high school.

So wouldn’t it be possible to get good information from Kim Jeong-hoon?

No sooner had she finished thinking than Eunbi Kim took action.

I quickly knock on Kim Jeong-hoon’s door, which is at the end across from my room.

Knock knock!

“Jeonghoon! “Can I come in for a moment?”

“Oh, come in.”

rattly

When I open the door and go in, Kim Jeong-hoon, who was lying on the bed, raises his upper body and sits down.

Eunbi Kim asked, pulling up a chair in front of the computer and sitting in front of him.

“Junghoon said you and Dojin were high school classmates, right?”

As soon as the name Do-jin was mentioned, Kim Jeong-hoon’s impression fell.

But that was only for a moment.

“Uh, uh. It did.”

He didn’t want to show his older sister a grim expression, so he quickly controlled his expression and answered with an awkward smile.

“Then I guess you know something about Dojin?”

“Yeah… , to some extent.”

Anxiety began to sprout in Kim Jeong-hoon’s heart.

He suddenly came into the room and asked about Kim Do-jin.

And the anxiety became real and made him feel bad.

“Actually, I was planning to have dinner with Dojin this Saturday evening! But I don’t know anything about him, right? So, Jeonghoon, please tell me.”

What kind of kid Dojin is and what he likes… .

“Ah, anyway, anything is fine.”

Kim Jeong-hoon’s pupils widened after receiving a strong shock.

The shock was not just because of the promise to meet separately with Kim Do-jin.

“This Saturday… ?”

“huh!”

“This Saturday is the day you decided to go to the art museum with me, sister.”

“Eh… !”

That his older sister, who cared for him more than anyone else, had completely forgotten her promise to him.

It was an even bigger shock to him.
