Chapter Index

    Although he almost broke in unexpectedly, Eugene, who was also part of the late-night snack expedition, went off to find his own way. He couldn’t find a reason to continue drinking anymore, so he was returning to Rahee’s house with Ari, who seemed slightly drunk, on his back.

    “Ah, let go…! I’m so drunk, I’m so drunk…?”

    “Yes, yes, that’s right.”

    “Hing··· Chueo···.”

    Whenever I passionately argued that I should just leave because I wasn’t drunk, did I get chills as the cold, dry air of an autumn night seeped into my slightly heated skin due to the alcohol?

    With a cute whining voice, Ari started rubbing her cheek against my back.

    “Hihi… It’s warm…”

    It’s been a while since I handed over the windbreaker I wore as outerwear to Ari, so now I’m only wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt.

    Maybe it was because of this that I was completely satisfied with the feeling of my warmth coming through the thin fabric.

    Ari, who went beyond simply rubbing her cheeks and pressed her warm, puffy cheeks and her warm, soft breasts against my back at the same time, cooing…❤️, ended up falling asleep.

    I was enjoying the cute snoring sound that started to resonate…

    “Hey.”

    Rahee, who was walking next to me making a thumping sound, suddenly called me.

    “Why.”

    “So when are you going to take the license test?”

    However, from my perspective, you are asking a question that feels quite unexpected.

    When I turned around, what caught my eye was Rahee’s appearance, blowing out a long stream of pure white steam.

    Did he at least let out a small sigh so that I couldn’t hear him?

    I tilted my head slightly at the thought that maybe that was the case, and then answered Rahee’s question.

    “Why is that suddenly happening?”

    “I’m just curious.”

    This is just my feeling, but I didn’t feel like I was just asking because I was curious.

    In fact, that was why I started thinking about how to answer.

    After thinking and thinking like that…

    “Well.”

    I responded to Rahee’s question by lightly shrugging my shoulders.

    “···Aren’t you thinking something strange?”

    What I was afraid to hear was a very serious voice.

    Of course, what I heard this time felt like it came out of nowhere.

    What a strange thought.

    What on earth are you talking about?

    Why is your voice so serious again?

    “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

    “No, you know why… Naturalization or immigration…”

    “Me?”

    “No?”

    To be honest, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it.

    That happened when I left the gifted education center and was thrown into a forest of concrete buildings.

    I don’t know about anything else, but I’m really confident in my mentality, but no matter where I go, I see my swearing, and wherever I go, I hear people swearing at me, so it’s not easy to hold on.

    Because of that, after leaving the gifted education center, I wore only a hoodie and a baseball cap for a year.

    Even when the season was summer, I went around like that… But then, there was a time when I felt a bit pathetic about myself doing that in this heat, and I wondered what on earth I was doing, so I’d rather know myself than continue to live like this. I had a strong feeling that it would be better to just leave somewhere where no one would see me.

    “Well… I did consider that at one time…”

    That’s why I answered Rahee’s question, which seemed to be asking if it was really true… I don’t know how she misinterpreted my answer, but Rahee’s eyes widened slightly.

    “Look!”

    “No, I told you so. It was like that once.”

    “So, not now?”

    “Of course not.”

    As we talked, I felt like I finally understood something.

    The reason why Rahee suddenly talked about naturalization and immigration.

    That’s right… because he watched the whole thing from beginning to end.

    The sight of me being bullied by the entire nation.

    So, you probably know that I don’t really like the country called Korea.

    However, I thought that the moment I realized my talent, I would run towards the exam center without hesitation, but now I act as if I am not particularly interested in exams…

    ‘You must have thought something was strange.’

    It was clear that the misunderstanding that started like that had developed into ‘Ah, this kid is measuring the angle of escape…!’

    “Why? Are you worried that I might just disappear without a word?”

    “It’s your specialty. Cut off all contact with people around you and go diving.”

    “Uh-huh, don’t be slanderous, right? Well, I’ve only done it once, right?”

    “That one time is the problem.”

    As he said that, he looked at me and said, “It’s tingling…!”, and when I saw him roll his eyes, it seemed like a lot of things had accumulated due to the diving incident, even though he didn’t say anything.

    Well, from Rahee’s perspective, it would have been as if the man she was having a good relationship with had disappeared overnight.

    I was worried, and I guess I got angry because I thought this was the only thing I could do with my feelings for him.

    ” Hey, based on common sense, if you were planning on going diving this time, would you have said that you would join your guild? I guess I just kept my mouth shut and measured the escape angle.”

    “That’s true.”

    “Right?”

    “Then why does it seem like you are not interested in the license test?”

    “Oh, that…?”

    How should I answer?

    How should I answer here… to seem less unlucky?

    “I thought it would be a hassle if I took the test now and passed.”

    “If anyone sees it, they will think that you have already passed.”

    “Are you sure it will fall? Me?”

    Was it because I asked so bluntly that I had nothing to say?

    Rahee muttered in a low voice, ‘Anyway, you unlucky bastard…’

    I don’t think he meant me to hear it, and it seemed like he was talking to himself, but the distance was so close and the surroundings were quiet and not noisy, so I could hear everything.

    “···It won’t fall.”

    “So. To be honest, at my current level, even if I had to worry about the written exam, I think I would pass without difficulty just based on my practical score.”

    “Wow… unlucky.”

    “So I’m thinking about it.”

    “Why? I was wondering what would happen if I suddenly passed the exam and passed the top exam? So, do you think you might become a national celebrity again?”

    “Well, it’s roughly similar.”

    First of all, I had no intention of doing something like senior even if it were offered to me.

    Do you think I’m crazy?

    Even though I have already learned the lesson that too much fame can be poisonous.

    Therefore, if I were to take the licensing exam, I planned to control my strength appropriately.

    Like I said to Rahee, if I focus on the written part and focus on it, wouldn’t I be able to adjust my score to a level where I barely pass the passing cutoff line?

    Or, when watching a practical performance, watch the situation unfold and relax your body a little.

    Although I had already devised measures that could be called countermeasures, there were two main reasons why I hesitated to take the licensing exam.

    One is that since those taking the licensing exam belong to this industry in their own way, there is a high possibility that someone will recognize someone named Soo-Hyun Yoon.

    “Well, there was so much noise back then.”

    “So. So, have you ever thought about buying and wearing glasses as a disguise?”

    “I don’t think it’s bad? Since it happened a few years ago, I don’t think everyone will recognize it.”

    “I guess so. I think so too… but the problem is this.”

    What is that?

    An expression that seemed to say just that appeared on Rahee’s face.

    “Now my talent is becoming a hot topic on the Internet.”

    “···Ah.”

    Since I have already experienced being burned by a seed once, I would like to decline the fame even if they scoop it up with a shovel.

    But one of the abilities I have is gaining cult popularity on the Internet, with a criminal-like nickname, ‘Hwiseo-dong Hood Man’, and now I’m wielding it in front of so many people?

    Isn’t that the same as openly advertising that I am that hoodie?

    “Fuck, even if the nickname sticks, it’s only for a criminal bastard…”

    After finishing the explanation, it must have been a moment where I was just giggling.

    Rahee, who seemed to be thinking about something after listening to my explanation, slowly opened her mouth.

    “You… everything I’ve said so far is half an excuse. In fact, I’m saying it because I think if I debut as a hunter now, I’ll be called the Hwiseo-dong hoodie for the rest of my life.”

    “···!”

    “It’s true because you look surprised.”

    “···Do you show off a lot?”

    “Ha… I was a fool for listening seriously.”

    “No, honestly, hoodies are a bit like that. The rest of the hood.”

    Even for Rahee, who is standing in front of me right now, isn’t her nickname as a hunter ‘Crimson Witch’?

    Someone is the Crimson Witch, but I’m the only one who has to listen to hood men while doing their activities?

    That can’t be possible.

    Cancer, whatever.

    “So, will you remain a student of Heonjun until the sound of a hoodie disappears?”

    “Yes!!!”

    “Are you okay?”

    “Huh? What?”

    “It doesn’t really matter to me… but I was wondering if I might be overtaken by the boy who is now riding on your back.”

    that···?!

    “You know? Is this industry secretly tight in that direction?”

    “···.”

    “It must be kind of fun to watch my younger sister constantly be my eldest son. ”

    “That…”

    “What.”

    “When is the earliest I can take the test?”

    Am I, who was your teacher, your junior in the industry?

    It’s immoral, it’s immoral!
