After an absurd argument with Shin Hyo-seop.

Not long after, Kim Do-jin had to get hit in the back by Seo Jeong-hee, who found out about this too late.

“You’re crazy, you’re crazy, you’re crazy!”

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

“Cough… !”

It’s spicy.

That too, a lot.

The lingering, cold pain in the middle of my back makes me question my judgment.

Why do moms’ back smashes hurt so much?

Even my body is not a normal body.

How can such pain be left in a body that not even a bullet can penetrate?

“Look at this!”

The screen of the smartphone she held in front of me showed the news that had broken out this morning.

The title is ‘Scandal of the Century, What is the taste of a 20-something S-class hunter for married women?’

As you can tell from the fantastic title, this article was about exposing my relationship with Jeong-hee.

Of course, the informant is our father-in-law.

In the end, he couldn’t control his anger and ended up doing it.

“What are you going to do with this, huh?!”

The article was really clever.

My name wasn’t written anywhere.

However, the content was so explicit that I could be certain that it was me.

To summarize, the content was like this.

A 20-something S-class hunter who ran away from an orphanage and had an affair with the landlady of a boarding house who had shown him kindness.

This one just comes out without any need to organize the candidates separately.

Why?

Among the 20 S-class hunters, I’m the only orphan.

“People are cursing at you right now!”

Below the article, there is a never-ending wave of comments no matter how many times you scroll down the screen.

The total number of comments in the comments section is 3,271.

That’s a staggering number considering it’s been less than an hour since the article was posted.

Most of it is cursing.

They’re spewing out all sorts of insults and ridicule as if they were waiting for me to fall over, and I think it was a good thing they caused the accident.

“If I hadn’t caused the accident, these guys would have waited and died.”

Looking at their actions, they are people who are even wasting oxygen, but what can I do?

As long as we are alive in this world, we are worthy of life.

“Hehe, that’s funny.”

How can he so easily utter with his fingers words that are difficult to even put into words?

When I look at the insults directed at me as if they were someone else’s business and quickly scroll down the screen.

“Stop looking!”

Jeonghee snatched the smartphone from my hand.

There is a faint worry on his angry face.

I guess he’s worried that I might be shocked after seeing the comments.

“Don’t worry. I won’t get hurt by seeing that.”

During the Son Si-woo era, I was called the nation’s hunter, but I was not someone who was loved by all the people.

The ghosts living on the internet hated me.

No, to be exact, I would say that he hates all people who are better than him and earn more money.

If they read anything even slightly negative about me, they would rush in and tear it apart.

They swore at me with all sorts of curses, some of them even made up stories out of nothing, and even cursed at my wife and daughter.

At first, it was all hurt and anger.

There were days when I felt guilty and miserable, thinking, ‘Did I ruin my body and live the life of a hunter to protect these guys?’

So there was a time when I thought about suing every single one of them without exception and making them suffer without any settlement, but I gave up on that soon after.

After seeing the faces of those who were reported to the police and brought in, I lost the desire to do that.

A student from Noryangjin who has failed the civil service exam for N years, a repeat student who is more busy playing than studying, a hikikomori who is shut in at home, an unemployed person, etc.

I realized this when I saw people who couldn’t take responsibility for their own actions, who hid behind their elderly parents’ backs, and who couldn’t even apologize properly.

They are already living in a hell of their own making.

After I found out, I didn’t really get angry when I saw any humiliating comments.

Of course, I sued every single person who touched my family or people around me, showing them the bitterness of life.

The extent to which I don’t feel angry is entirely up to me.

I quietly raised my head and looked at her pacing around with an anxious expression.

“Ah, what should I do?”

In the comments that were still growing in real time, there were many people who were cursing her, not just me.

As an old married woman, she shamelessly seduced a young man.

She might be grabbing my weak points and shaking me.

It’s full of unspeakable curses, insults, and ridiculous rumors.

Yet, regardless, she only cares about me.

“Huh, what a shameless person. Doing something without even thinking about your own mistakes?!”

The hands that were harsh just a moment ago now caress my back and head.

“Don’t worry, Dojin. The lady will take care of everything.”

“What are you going to do?”

“We should meet with the press just like that person did! We will meet and reveal every single mistake that person made.”

There was a deep venom in her eyes as she spoke.

When I saw that sight, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Good.”

“Do you laugh at this situation?”

Jeong-hee scolds me for suddenly bursting into laughter.

Things were getting worse, but I couldn’t stop laughing.

“I’m happy, that’s why.”

“What the heck?”

“Yes, there is something like that.”

I couldn’t bring myself to say that, but I kept muttering, “I love the way you only worry about me while getting cursed at.”

Instead, he got up from his seat, hugged her, and whispered to her, unable to contain his anger.

“Thank you.”

After struggling for a moment, she buried her face in my chest and mumbled.

“… Thank you. Rather, I should be the one who feels sorry. It happened because of me.”

“Yeah, no. It’s not your fault, it’s our fault. How can love be done alone?”

“Haha, I really can’t handle it.”

Only then does Jeong-hee start to laugh.

Feeling her heartbeat gently, I felt that this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Because both she and I have become confident in each other.

Whether it’s a happy thing or a sad thing.

The confidence that no matter what happens, she will think of me first and I will think of her first.

However, there is one thing missing.

Sometimes she treats me like a little kid.

Men are creatures who are childish until the very end, so it’s not that bad, but at times like this, you shouldn’t just look at them as childish, you should trust them too.

“You don’t have to step forward. I’ll take care of everything.”

“How?”

I answered her with a smile as she lifted her head from my arms and asked.

“There is a way, so just watch.”

Because I will show you a solution that only I can do.

A week has already passed since the article broke.

The world was still abuzz with talk about Kim Do-jin.

In fact, it got hotter than before.

The affair scandal of a 20-something S-class hunter.

As expected of someone with global recognition, news that broke in Korea spread widely throughout the world.

Articles about him that had been pouring out like mushrooms have disappeared from South Korea.

Because the government, which had been watching the situation, began to actively intervene.

Some people criticized the government for suppressing the press, but they paid no attention.

Even though it is a democratic country, we cannot just sit back and watch an action that could pose a great threat to security.

“You guys are so stupid.”

The government, on the other hand, criticized reporters who were busy only gathering news without any consideration for things like security.

What kind of person is Kim Do-jin?

He is a genius among geniuses who became an S-class hunter in his early 20s.

Even his colleagues who followed him and became S-class all unanimously say that it was all thanks to him.

That means, he has an outstanding ability to develop not only his own talents, but also those of others.

The government expects.

Perhaps because of this, South Korea may experience an unprecedented abundance of S-class hunters.

An important figure whose mere presence strengthens security and elevates national prestige.

What if we drive out such a being and then suddenly declare immigration?

There is already a growing public opinion on the Internet that we should no longer provoke him with such issues.

But most of them still continue to criticize.

It was because they had no realization that if they were not careful, the country could be ruined because of them.

Because of this, the government had to spend each day feeling like it was walking on thin ice.

I was afraid that Kim Do-jin would come out of nowhere and declare that he was leaving Korea.

While the Hunter Association Chairman and the Prime Minister are racking their brains to gather all the capable people and come up with countermeasures for any eventuality.

Kim Do-jin, the main character of the incident, came to the World Hunter Association through space travel magic.

The reason was obvious.

For the promotion challenge.

The World Hunter Association executive who greeted him explained only one condition for promotion.

“You must fight against five S-class hunters designated by the association and either survive for 30 minutes or win.”

A very simple yet sure method.

Kim Do-jin, whose interest was piqued, answered with the corners of his lips curled up.

“Should I do it right now?”

“… … .”

Are there really such people?

The gaze of the World Hunter Association executives toward Kim Do-jin contained such meaning.
