Hyeon Gyu-ha, who broke all sorts of youngest records such as youngest S-class, youngest dungeon raid, and youngest ranker, was remarkably familiar with the gaze of others.
“......?”
For him, it was very strange that the feeling of being called by someone did not disappear. Even though he clearly ignored it. A sense of discomfort, as if a small thorn had been stuck somewhere on the skin.
A young man in his early twenties was caught on the edge of his gaze as he looked around. Hyeon Gyu-ha narrowed his eyes. Flashback.
<I-I’ll be the ho-hostage instead.>
The protagonist of the voice he heard before entering the Bank. Indeed, it deserves to be called a mentioning.
However, Hyeon Guy-ha, who has deep-rooted distrust of humans, only snorted.
<It looks like you’re still breathing. Would you like to press down the wound here? There’s a bank clerk-like person down there, so I’ll have to go over there.>
That’s why he deliberately pointed it out. Contrary to his expectations, it was surprising to see him stop the bleeding without fear or concern even when blood was stained, but that’s all, he was a person he forgot as soon as he turned his back.
But he followed the feeling that called him and turned his head and there he was. A young man with a stupid face.
‘It must have been a mistake.’
Hyeon Gyu-ha again easily ignored him.
The feeling that seemed to be cut off for a moment continued again. This time he navigated with a little irritation. At the end of following a strange intuition, there was also him.
<Did you call me by any chance?>
He shook his head, saying no, with a very surprised face. What was it.
‘Have you become a little sensitive?’
At most, it was ridiculed for being so sensitive about catching a few bank robbers, but if that wasn’t the case, it’s never explained.
Fortunately, the uncomfortable feeling of being called by someone soon disappeared. It seems that he probably was sensitive. Hyeon Gyu-ha thought that he had become lazy since he hadn’t been to the dungeon lately, and continued his usual routine, annoyed at his own weakness.
That was until an hour later.
“Gyu-ha-ssi.”
“Why?”
“……”
“Nothing.”
“But your restless look is like a puppy that’s restless...”
“Not exactly.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha replied sternly and munched on the pizza.
“I’m just in a bad mood. I feel like this is no place for me, I feel like I have to go somewhere right now, but I don’t know where it is, I have only that thought in my head, I don’t know what pizza and Coke taste like, I don’t know what I’m doing, and that’s all.”
… it’s not like he didn’t turn off the gas when he left the house.
“I guess?”
Shit.
Hyeon Gyu-ha had no choice but to admit to Yoo Byeon-ho’s words. That he is very anxious.
It’s been 14 years since he ran away from the laboratory that was conducting human experiments. What an extravagant and weak feeling. He was really annoyed.
“Fuck.”
And the irritability and anger that had plagued him all day came to his head that night when he took off his clothes in the shower.
It was the moment when boring, boring, boring days came to an end in many ways.
***
Master.
The aftermath of that one word was amazing.
Those who wanted to ask for an autograph, those who took a picture, those who looked up with exclamation inwardly, and those who were engrossed in their work, unaware that Hyeon Gyu-ha had arrived, were all shocked. All eyes in the office were focused on Hyeon Gyu-ha and In Yoo-shin, whose chin was gripped by Hyeon Gyu-ha.
Surprisingly, In Yoo-shin was calm.
‘Are you looking for the chief?’
It was because his brain was denying reality.
“Which chief are you looking for……… What’s the chief’s name?”
“Ha.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s lips twisted slightly, spitting out a short laugh.
“My master. Ma-st-er.”
“......”
It was a clear standard pronunciation that could not be claimed as the chief. In Yoo-shin’s convulsive eyes read the updated status window.
[Current Status: Murderous. Petulance.]
When In Yoo-shin’s gaze wandered in the air for a moment, Hyeon Gyu-ha made an expression that he saw something and then bent down. Lips close to his ears whispered low. His downy hair trembled with chills.
“Did you see the status window? There seems to be something between you and me.”
“That, that, well, there’s a-a misunderstanding…...”
“What have you done to my body?”
“......”
“You’re all I can think of in my head.”
In Yoo-shin was completely pale.
Gasp, Hik, Wow, Gosh… came from the surroundings, who couldn’t breathe properly and had their ears perked up.
Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled at Kim Ji-yeon, who was sitting next to him.
“There are no complaints, and it seems to be you’re free. Can I take Master out for a while?”
“Uh, uh……”
Team leader Hong, who was in the seat behind her, hurriedly spoke on behalf of her who stuttered in surprise.
“O-of course you can take him, no, you can take him right now! It was time for Yoo-shin to go to lunch soon anyway! Right, Yoo-shin? Are you fine with that?”
Team leader Hong’s desperate eyes said, ‘Tell me it’s okay! Hurry up!’ And to Hyeon Gyu-ha, In Yoo-sin’s answer seemed to have little to do with it.
“That’s great.”
He waved his hand without waiting for an answer. In Yoo-shin’s body floated in the air and moved over the desk.
“Ughah.”
It was the first time he experienced psychokinesis in person. Startled, he reflexively struggled, and even his slippers came off and fell off. It must have been very funny, but no one in the office, who was shocked by the word ‘Master’ that had already come out of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouth, did not laugh. He didn’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate.
In Yoo-shin’s body, which moved over the desk, settled down without a sense of stability...………. in Hyeon Gyu-ha’s arms. He put the Yoo-shin, like carrying a load, on his side. He didn’t know how strong he was to lift a person with one arm.
“Then let’s go. Is there a quiet place to converse around here?”
“There’s a place at the back of the rooftop garden where you need a key to go up. I’ll give you the key!”
Team leader Hong showed kindness by giving the key and even explaining the guide map. Hyeon Gyu-ha moved his long legs in strides and left the civil service room. Through the closed door, shouts of “Did you see?,” “What was that just now!,” and “Isn’t that hallucination?!” were heard.
The commotion continued outside. There were countless people recognizing Hyeon Gyu-ha all the way through the long corridor and taking the elevator to the rooftop. Between the exclamations of Wow, Gosh, Oh, he could hear the sound of snapping pictures being taken and whispers.
“But who is the person, who’s been held next to him?”
“I don’t know.”
With the baggage of In Yoo-shin.
“Isn’t that Yoo-shin-ssi, who is in charge of complaints at the Department of Civil Ophthalmology? I wonder what he’s doing now...………….”
Of course, it was not uncommon for people to recognize In Yoo-shin, who had been on duty for two years. In Yoo-shin, who tried to escape from reality by saying that I was just a piece of baggage, even the nape of his neck turned red.
“Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha-nim, please give me your autograph.”
He even met a tactless person in the elevator. With his left arm wrapped around his side, In Yoo-shin stopped looking at the autograph, he wrote with a swing using his right hand.
Henry Raymond Charles Francoise VII.
“.......”
“Oh, sorry. These days, if you’re a little careless, your hands move on their own.”
[Current Status: Murderous. Petulance.]
Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled refreshingly and signed a new autograph, which said ‘Hyeon Gyu-ha.’
Only then did In Yoo-shin’s brain crack open and he recognized reality. That childish name, a mixture of English and French, would not be used in France or England. Even a 5-year-old kid who doesn’t know anything, wouldn’t attach it to a hamster thinking it’s cool.
The bat that had been tamed was Hyeon Gyu-ha.
In fact, he had only been denying reality until now, but he had a vague intuition. Because the only Awakener present at the time of the taming was Hyeon Gyu-Ha. Besides, how many Awakeners in the world had all stats above S-class?
‘Crazy! Taming people! Even Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha!’
For the first time since his awakening, In Yoo-shin felt resentful of his ability.
‘What kind of rodent is a bat! Besides, just saying that bats are rats too in Korean! If I had known they were human, I would never have tamed them!’
Because of that.
As soon as Hyeon Gyu-ha, who came up to the roof, put him down on the bench, he immediately fell to his knees.
“Sorry! sorry!”
Hyeon Kyu-ha gasped.
“Do you think I can see you’re sorry?”
“Sorry!”
“If the problem was solved with an apology, wouldn’t the number of murders in the world be reduced by half?”
“......!”
Is this a death threat? ………! In Yoo-shin’s face, which had turned red and then turned blue, now turned white. Hyeon Gyu-ha shrugged his shoulders as he watched his face dyed in different colors.
“So, I asked you earlier, but what did you do to my body?”
“Bo-bo-body?”
Not that kind of mind or soul or consciousness, but the body? Body?
Even in the midst of embarrassment, In Yoo-shin tilted his head. He tamed him unintentionally, but he never gave orders or forced anything behind him. His appearance was quite ordinary, except for the fact that the hamsters and rats he had tamed so far were also healthy.
It meant that there would be no abnormality in Hyeon Gyu-ha’s body.
“Well, what do you mean by that……”
“You don’t know even if you’ve done that to me?”
“I’m so-sorry.”
In Yoo-shin, who was guilty of committing a crime, hit his head first. Then, he looked at him and questioned him.
“Because you said you only thought of me earlier… “
“It’s shameless to say that with your own mouth.”
“Yes.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha laughed lightly. He looked like he was having fun, but In Yoo-shin, who had been in contact with him until just now, clearly confirmed it in the status window that appears automatically. The emotion that occupied the forefront of the current state even though he kept on a smiling expression.
Murderous.
You’re really going to die here.
The dry saliva went down. He couldn’t even dare to call his status window manually, but even now, the intent to kill must be in the forefront.
“It’s okay. Since Master doesn’t know, I’ll show it to you.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha took off his riding jacket and tossed it. He took off his jacket and took off the T-shirt he was wearing underneath. His bare chest was exposed on the rooftop in broad daylight. When In Yoo-shin saw his chest, he was horrified.
