“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t civil servants also reflect on their performance?”
Of course, it was team leader Hong who suggested taking a promotional video for the self-performance evaluation.
“Please reflect on that performance in Yoo-shin’s job evaluation.”
Team leader Hong, who seemed to be giving porridge to dogs, opened his eyes wide, he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and made an excuse. And In Yoo-shin was also surprised.
“Since Yoo-shin is a contract worker and is in charge of a job that has nothing to do with public performance...”
“Once you put Yoo-shin’s name on it, working-level officials will take care of the framework.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha, not knowing how the company worked, finally looked back at In Yoo-shin.
“Yoo-shin-ssi.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Yoo-shin-ssi, will you continue to work as a contract worker? Well, if you don’t like working, I will find a way to feed you for the rest of your life.”
Yoo-shin pretended not to hear what was said behind the scenes and replied.
“If the contract extension doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another job.”
“Isn’t it possible to convert to a weapon contract?”
“I think winning the lottery will be faster than waiting for that opportunity to come to me.”
“It seems to work anyway. If you build up performance, good evaluation will follow, right?”
If that didn’t work out, it sounded like they would force the conversion, so team leader Hong wiped himself in a cold sweat.
“That, maybe, um, it would be possible to turn it around! If Hunter-nim wants it, yes!”
Even if the highest achievement goes to In Yoo-shin, there will be something for him to pick up from. Team leader Hong, who changed his mind, responded enthusiastically, and Hyeon Gyu-ha also responded cheerfully.
“Then let’s shoot a promotional material.”
Kim Ji-yeon’s patience, which she desperately suppressed in order not to duck out and endure without telling any related stories to the fan community, exploded with her words at last.
- Guys!!!!!! Gyu-ha’s talent department promotion video is happening.
Her flamboyant fingers secretly touching her phone under her desk set her fan community on fire.
As it is a government department, the work process, which was prudent and somewhat strained, was carried out in an instant, unprecedented in history.
Team leader Hong ran to the head of the digital communication team, and the public relations officer immediately gave an ok sign before completing the draft. The payment was also instantaneous.
Top Ranker. Superb appearance.
Although it has elements that the public is enthusiastic about, media exposure is extremely rare. He has never filmed a common CF (Commercial Film), let alone a promotional video. If Hyeon Gyu-ha could be used in a promotional video for the first time, it was clear that the level of attention would be explosive.
Lee Neung-bu is like a Buddha who gets beaten up from all sides by arrogant hunters and disgruntled people and still forgives them. It was a miracle created by the desperation of having to put a stamp on it before changing one’s mind.
Even if he wanted to shoot a promotional video with another hunter, there would have been no other way. Because articles that arbitrarily turned rumors in the fan community into factual facts were already being mass-produced.
1 hour before work time.
Not only the public relations officer but also the vice minister came running with the contract. Originally, Minister Lee Neung-bu wanted to try to greet Hyeon Gyu-ha himself. But unfortunately, he was on a business trip abroad.
Attorney Yoo, an advisor to Hyeon Gyu-Ha, was also present to coordinate and review the contract.
“Nice to meet you, Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha.”
“Yes.”
Despite the nervous greetings of the vice minister, Hyeon Gyu-ha replied boringly.
The vice minister swallowed dry saliva. The budget man in charge has been roasted and the budget has been squeezed out as much as possible. It was a budget he received with the mindset of cutting flesh as a supernatural power, but he doesn’t know if it’s enough to satisfy the top rankers who will fill the subspace with crystal stones even after going around the dungeon for a while.
“There are a lot of things that are lacking because the position was prepared in a hurry. Detailed coordination...……….”
“I just write that I will Film it with my consent as long as it does not harm public morals. Bet only as much as you can afford for the down payment.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha interrupted Vice Minister Hyeon-ha and handed it over to Attorney Yoo without reading the contract properly.
“All you have to do is keep your promise to raise Yoo-shin-ssi’s work performance.”
“Is it possible!”
The vice minister took a breath of relief at the absolute generosity of A (Hyeon Gyu-ha), who said that he would not be picky as long as he took good care of his lover. He was really fortunate to be able to sign a contract within the budget he had prepared.
“Let’s do it quickly. We have to take Yoo-shin home.”
For some reason, while Hyeon Gyu-ha was signing, there was a minor incident in which he sprained his finger and wrote the word ‘Ang’ and then rewritten it, but the contract was completed safely.
The vice minister, who even took a picture of himself while shaking hands with Hyeon Gyu-ha, was satisfied. The employees of the Digital Communication Team, who had been biting their nails while watching the internet news before it was confirmed that the words had leaked, excitedly sent out promotional materials. Team leader Hong was also happy to be able to pick up and eat bean curd.
However, In Yoo-shin wasn’t feeling very good.
“You don’t get motion sickness anymore.”
When they arrived at the front of his house, In Yoo-shin took off his helmet, and Hyeon Gyu-ha grinned while arranging his hair that was pressed against his helmet. As he had to commute every day on Hyeon Gyu-ha’s bike, he has gotten quite used to the dizzying sense of speed.
And he thought that he had really gotten used to his face that smiles as he pushes in every once in a while. Even if a face with a halo glow appeared out of nowhere like before, he wasn’t surprised. Unknowingly, he kept peeking at him from the side, but that hasn’t changed.
“Then rest.”
As he was going to return, he instinctively grasped his hand. He recognized that he had made contact with Hyeon Gyu-ha for the first time after meeting his scrutinizing stare. Startled, he withdrew his hand.
“Ah, th-that’s not it.”
Not knowing what it was, he mumbled as soon as it came out.
‘It must have been unpleasant for him when I suddenly hold his hand when we weren’t even dating. He’s the kind of person who always thinks of murderous intentions when he sees me.’
Not having the courage to bring up his status window to see and confirm the murderous intent, In Yoo-shin scratched his head vaguely.
“Do you have time for dinner?”
“I guess the answer will be different depending on why you are asking the question.”
Fortunately, Hyeon Gyu-ha did not show any displeasure.
“I want to buy you dinner if you have time. I am grateful that you always help me commute, and I have something to tell you about the dungeon raid you mentioned earlier.”
“Well, in that case, then I have plenty of time.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha got off the bike after turning off the engine.
“But I have no intention of getting treated like this with your card.”
“But.......”
“Serving the master is a pet mouse’s only joy. Um, no, should I call it a pet’s instinct?”
“......”
“Actually, no matter what my reason is, it really makes me feel good when I help you. It’s like a very effective medicine. I was lethargic as if I was depressed no matter what I did, yet it was quite useful since I was forced to shift my mood. It’s getting out of control. It’s merely mild side effect.”
“......”
“Then shall we go? As I drive back and forth, I noticed a crowded meat restaurant in the alley up ahead.”
In Yoo-shin, who was sweating, quietly kept his mouth shut and followed him.
‘In fact, I had guessed this might be the case from the time he mentioned improving public relations as part of my performance. I’m wondering if because of my situation, I thought I had to accept that I would be at an unfair advantage, but I’m now concerned.’
In Yoo-shin sat down with Hyeon Gyu-ha at the last remaining meat restaurant’s corner table.
“What do you want for meat?”
“Red hump pork throat.”
“Let’s eat Korean beef.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha adjusted the order at will when In Yoo-shin said the cheapest monster meat.
When the unforeseen gate opened unexpectedly, livestock were frequently killed. The cost of the shield core, which restricts monster access, is reasonable. Thanks to this, the meat of the monsters he hunted was cheaper.
It has become such a world.
The Monster poured out of the gate 60 years ago, and the world that was hit by catastrophe underwent a momentous change. At that time, the allied forces were recovering from the wounds and were advancing forth.
The world’s first gate was opened on the banks of the Nakdonggang River, which at that time had shed the most blood on Earth. The United States and other allied countries dispatched researchers as the rear became disorganized.
After the victory of South Korea and UN forces, gates were created all over the world. However, after only three months of restoration, monster was once again destroyed Seoul. This happened before the shouts of victory and joy died down.
However, that tragedy gave Korea the motivation it needed to get past its postwar wounds. The result was paradoxical.
The sea beast cut off the maritime route, leaving the UN forces stuck in Korea. The same was true for the dispatched researchers. The UN forces reheated their cold barrels and hunted monsters, and those awakened by unknown powers appeared, and researchers continued their research.
Korea was able to quickly deal with the confusion caused by the catastrophe. The monsters were organized into each saint and modern heavy weapons, and they obtained the results of research even in harsh environments. They couldn’t miss the gate and crystal research that was one step ahead with the development of a shield to block the approaching monsters, even after the seaway was opened.
Many soldiers and researchers who were stranded for several years settled in Korea and obtained citizenship. It’s not enough to be called a multi-ethnic country, when even the owner of this meat restaurant that he passes every day on his commute is also a soldier from Turkey, and Kim Ji-yeon, who sits next to me, is also a mixed-race black man.
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s flaxen hair and amber eyes didn’t stand out too much. Of course, it’s a uniquely fine color, though.
As he stared at the beautiful color without even realizing it, his amber eyes narrowed, and his lips parted.
