In Yoo-shin was shocked and shook his head. You shouldn’t listen to this. Not listening is good for your mental health.
“It’s okay. I think I’ll understand even if I don’t listen.”
“Don’t be like that, just listen. If I say he’s my boyfriend, there will be a lot of people targeting you, so I’ll make an example of one of them for Master…”
Fortunately, Lee Hye-yeon, who immediately understood Kwon Seong-gil’s explanation, looked back at In Yoo-shin with admiration and cut off Hyeon Gyu-ha.
“I’m late to say hello, right? I didn’t even see you because you were covered by Gyu-ha’s size. Nice to meet you, Master!”
“Hello, Hunter. But my name is In Yoo-shin.”
“Ah, isn’t your name Master?”
Lee Hye-yeon’s gaze at Hyeon Gyu-ha became a little strange, but she soon came to terms with it. Because Hyeon Gyu-ha did it.
“Anyway, please take care of me. If that guy, Gyu-ha, is bothering you, don’t feel pressured and tell me right away. Even if I can’t kill that bastard, if we mobilize all of our Hunters, we can grab him by the ankles and give Yoo-shin time to run away.”
As soon as he came to realize it, he was told by the couple to consult if he bothered him. When In Yoo-shin took the time to reflect on Hyeon Gyu-ha’s personality, Team Leader Noh sadly intervened. Next to him was Ohana, who was filming everything with a camcorder.
“Thanks to the two hunters, I saved myself a lot of trouble today. I think the video will come out very nicely. As I heard, you guys get along well.”
“We’re not close.”
“I don’t know this couple.”
These were the words that came out of Lee Hye-yeon and Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouths at the same time. Team Leader Noh smiled.
“Haha, it’s nice to see that you two get along so well like brother and sister. By the way, just like Hunter Lee Hye-yeon, Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha is also a talented member of our department...?”
“…….”
“Oh, of course, it’s a joke, a joke! Hahahahaha!”
When Hyeon Gyu-ha’s face hardened, Team Leader Noh quickly laughed and said it was a joke, but his expression never returned. The air stiffened awkwardly and sweat began to run down Team Leader Noh’s face.
In Yoo-shin, worried about the unusual atmosphere, looked up while pulling his coat slightly.
“Gyu-ha-ssi?”
Hyeon Gyu-ha muttered softly to himself.
“That’s a really good idea. Why didn’t I think of this until now? It’s a way to legally be next to Yoo-shin without worrying about others.”
“Are you saying you noticed until now?”
“Of course.”
It was a confident tone.
“Why do you think I bring coffee and dessert to the office every morning?”
Do you mean you didn’t mean to trick Team Leader Hong into a coffee shuttle?
“You created something like a photo zone and took pictures calmly even when it was annoying.”
It was a tribute that the employees voluntarily offered to the truth-fighting totem.
“I didn’t say anything even though my date was interrupted by filming a vlog.”
In the first place, he wanted to point out that the prerequisite of dating at someone else’s workplace was wrong.
“Yoo-shin said he was busy working during office hours and didn’t pay any attention to me, so I just quietly sat on the sofa without disturbing him.”
“That’s for sure... you noticed.”
In Yoo-shin nodded. ‘You indeed noticed.’ Kwon Seong-gil and Lee Hye-yeon, who listened to their conversation with disbelieving expressions, also agreed.
“Does that guy always look at other people’s opinions?”
“What kind of love is it that can change even a person who used to live in pride? Wow, that’s gross. Seong-gil. Look at the goosebumps on my forearms.”
And Team Leader Noh and Ohana were speechless. Rumors spread throughout other departments about what kind of abuse Hyeon Gyu-ha was doing in the Public Safety and Security Department. Are you wary of him? If that’s what you were paying attention to, then what are you going to do when he’s not paying attention...?
Team Leader Noh shook his shoulders and cleared his mind. That wasn’t what mattered now.
“Hunter. Can I take it as a serious thing and not a joke that you want to become a hunter belonging to the Public Safety Department? Do you need more time to think about it?”
Hunters who signed a contract with the Public Safety Department are included as public officials in a broad sense. This means that the annual salary is low compared to the Hunter Guild, which is a private company. No matter how many tax benefits and welfare provisions were provided, they could not beat the salaries of private companies.
However, this did not mean that he could enjoy power.
Decades ago, the government, which had barely suppressed a coup d’état led by government officials, changed its policy. Official hunters in field positions are prohibited from exercising any form of power, including military power.
For this reason, only some of the top rankers, like Lee Hye-yeon, had noblesse oblige or a sense of mission for their privileged status as hunters and belonged to the government. Other than that, most of them were mediocre hunters. Or perhaps they have ambitions to rise to a high-ranking government position.
“My only condition is a legal date with Yoo-shin-ssi.”
“That... um, um. Perhaps, if we make Yoo-shin-ssi a manager in charge of Hunter, well, it will work! I will make it happen!”
“Unlike Team Leader Hong, it’s nice to talk to you.”
“I’ll post it right above, so just wait a moment, just a moment!”
Team Leader Noh grabbed his cell phone and rushed over. Lee Hye-yeon frowned slightly.
“Hey, Hyeon Gyu-ha. It’s all good, but your style...”
“Yoo-shin, is it okay if your department changes? If you want to stay at this department, I’ll cancel.”
She was about to point out something like, ‘Are you going to decide the treatment of Yoo-shin-ssi on your own without listening to his opinion?,’ but she shut her mouth. Instead, she muttered to herself.
“Oh my god, Gyu-ha has become human...?”
In Yoo-shin pretended not to hear what was being said to himself and answered.
“Well, I’m a contract worker anyway, so I can go wherever I’m comfortable. But did you really plan on canceling if I said no?”
“It can’t be. How can I give up legal dating when I feel like I’m dying of anxiety being away from you? I tried to convince you, Master.”
“……”
He thinks he would have been persuaded by force, whether with his face or with sophistry.
Thus, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s bombshell announcement once again upset the public safety department, and Hyeon Gyu-ha did indeed sign the contract. It was less than an hour after the bombshell announcement.
This is the recruitment of an S-class hunter, not another hunter. Normal procedures would have started with a press conference, but for the public safety department, it was urgent to get the seal of approval before Hyeon Gyu-ha changed his mind. The minister, who had missed an opportunity the previous day, not only succeeded in taking a promotional photo standing side by side with Hyeon Gyu-ha, but also got an autograph to give to his son.
The Minister of Public Safety department tried to send an official car to bring him to the government building, but Hyeon Gyu-ha flatly refused and rode his bike. Thanks to this, In Yoo-shin also had to suddenly hang on to his back and follow him.
And he didn’t know why, but he was even present at the signing of the contract, and even exchanged greetings with Attorney Yoo, whom he had only heard of.
“Ah, this is In Yoo-shin-ssi.”
‘What is actually going on among Hyeon Gyu-ha’s acquaintances?’
Uh, while he was doing that, the contract was over, and when he came to his senses, In Yoo-shin saw that he was going to the parking lot side by side with Hyeon Gyu-ha. Just like his usual way home from work.
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s thumb gently scratched the back of his hand.
“What are you thinking?”
It felt as if a gentle electric current was flowing from where his fingertips brushed, causing In Yoo-shin to shake his shoulder. He tried to sneak his hand away, but Hyeon Gyu-ha didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled his arm.
“Ugh.”
In an instant, In Yoo-shin was taken away and hit his chest. His heart pounded once. He felt it every time he unintentionally got close to him, but he was really solid. It doesn’t look like he has enormous muscles, but his body was in fact, so strong.
In Yoo-shin, who raised his head, was startled this time, and took a step backwards. Hyeon Gyu-ha, that is, it was too close to a face that was harmful to the heart.
Hyeon Gyu-ha bent his back as much as he took a step back. From a distance close enough to see the texture of long eyelashes, the narrowed amber gaze followed me persistently. In Yoo-shin rolled his eyes to the side and tried to avoid eye contact.
“There is also CCTV here.”
“Yes.”
“It’s past work time, but I don’t know if there are people going home after working overtime…”
“Yes.”
“Uh, can you move away a little bit?”
“I don’t like it. Even though I’m right next to you, you’re thinking about something else. The only other thing I can forgive is thinking about my sister, Henri-Raymond Charles Françoise VI.”
In Yoo-shin opened and closed his lips slightly. And after thinking about it, he opened it again.
“I was wondering if I could ask you this now that everything is over.”
