“Are they doing this because of Gyu-ha?”
“It is a happy proof that Master, and I are recognized by everyone as one set.”
In Yoo-shin, who would have pretended not to hear shameless nonsense at any other time, nodded with a blank expression. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had packed a sandwich for lunch for In Yoo-shin, who said he had no appetite, gently waved the plastic bag.
“Let’s eat first.”
“Yes……”
Contrary to his words of agreement, In Yoo-shin chewed his sandwich as if he was lost in thought. Even though it’s his favorite egg mayo sandwich, he can’t seem to taste it at all.
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyes narrowed. ‘What’s the problem? His annual salary, which barely earned the minimum wage, has increased several times.’
“Isn’t it good? With that money, you could go to the university you wanted to go to.”
“But it’s not money I get because I’m good at my job.”
“You’re receiving it because I’m the Master’s rodent pet and doing well, so the money belongs to Master. It’s like Hyeon Gyu-ha won the lottery.”
“No. It’s different.”
In Yoo-shin, who rarely expresses his opinion, has an unusually firm voice. And Hyeon Gyu-ha knows when his decisiveness comes out.
“This is like some kind of fraud. As long as the taming skill is lifted, I’m done with Gyu-ha.”
‘Ahh. I knew it.’
One corner of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouth went up at an angle.
“Actually, I refused the offer from the manager of Heonji Bureau that he would specially hire me to level 7 if personnel changes are made next week. All the attention that comes to me should be enjoyed by Mr. Gyu-ha, not me.”
“……”
“But it’s tough to find a way to undo it. I’ve been looking for papers and books from time to time, but I’ve made no progress so far. sorry.”
He stared in silence at his Master, who was struggling to quickly let go of the leash holding his neck. The sense of security of being held on a leash, the sense of fulfillment of serving Master, and the joy that comes from it.
‘ㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍㆍis like becoming a dog for real.’
His lips were twisted. murderous. And murderous intent. The emotions that have always dominated him since the age of 9 are stirring.
Should I kill him? There is no need to imitate an absurdly tame dog. Easy, fast, and convenient.
<I know. It is presumptuous of me to worry about Gyu-ha-ssi.>
Eyes that looked worried at the weak subject. The colors of his emotions change every time he sees him. The scales in his head, with murderous intent on one side, creaked furiously. It tilts.
In Yoo-shin is a master who provides the pleasure of being held on a leash. Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled and traced his finger along to his Master’s cheek. If he was really a dog, he would have licked it with his tongue. It’s soft and warm. His fluffy, fluffy skin trembled, but he didn’t avoid his touch.
“You have no intention of moving to another guild no matter what conditions you bring?”
“yes. Even if I have to move, I want to do it with my own ability.”
“Then I will warn them not to bother Yoo-shin anymore.”
In Yoo-shin became curious. He wondered if he was warning me through a means of communication between guilds, but Hyeon Gyu-ha took a selfie with the rooftop garden in the background.
“Well, it’s perfect without any filters or corrections. Choose a photo you like among these.”
“Why do I have to choose a picture?”
“This is to be used as the wallpaper on Yoo-shin’s phone and for authentication purposes.”
It was still a bit confusing, but he chose one of the selfies. It was his secret that it was difficult to choose just one because they were all good-looking.
Hyeon Gyu-ha sent the photo to In Yoo-shin by text, then ignored the countless list of chat rooms with 999 and accessed the open chat room at the top. It was a room where only pictures of Hyeon Gyu-ha were posted without a word being said.
He posted a photo there. With the following comment:
[I don’t mind if you bother me, but don’t bother my boyfriend.]
For a moment, it felt like the chat room stopped and a heavy silence descended. Then, chats started pouring in at the same time to the point that it was difficult to read.
[???????????]
[What the fuck isn’t it aggro???]
[But this is my first time seeing that photo; Gyu-ha has never revealed a selfie before.]
[Wow, really?? really really??]
[I love you Hyeon Gyu-ha!!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Gyu-ha, what are you doing now? Did you eat lunch?]
[Who is bothering your boyfriend? ====]
“What on earth is this chat room doing?”
“Lonely Hyeon Gyu-ha.”
“Huh?! That solitary room where fans just post pictures without saying a word? Isn’t it difficult to get into the solitary rooms of famous hunters because they are always full? How did you get in?”
“I’ve been in it since I first made it.”
“...It must have been several years, but you haven’t talked in the chat room even once?”
“yes.”
“……”
It was a confident response that left me with nothing more to say. Well, it’s not wrong to go into your own chat room and just watch.
When In Yoo-shin, who had a confused look on his face, put a sandwich to his lips, he reflexively took a bite and ate it down. This kind of service felt fairly good.
“Now, it will be captured and spread throughout every community, and within today, guilds will also become aware of my warning. Still, if there is a guild that ignores the warning and bothers you...”
“......if there is?”
Instead of answering, Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brightly.
It was three days later that he learned the meaning of that smile. As if by a miracle, while the love calls were cut off, there was a reckless guild that gathered together, and Hyeon Gyu-ha, whom he found before he threw away his business card, went out for about an hour and came back.
“……”
“That’s an interesting expression. why?”
“It’s nothing.”
In Yoo-shin silently closed the window that had posted an Internet article about Hyeon Gyu-ha pulling up the entire building of the guild that had given him a business card this morning, turning it upside down, throwing a blank check at the stunned guild leader, and then leisurely disappearing.
It is certain that he will be ranked first in terms of personality.

Even though it was not possible for civil servant hunters belonging to the government, or the government, to belong to a raiding party, unlike other civil servants, they were able to work concurrently. If there were no money to be made by hunting as a freelancer, no one would want to become a skilled hunter.
The Ministry of Public Safety’s Hunter’s work is not extremely dangerous or difficult, but it is complex. In other words, it was miscellaneous.
When a new dungeon is discovered, they conduct a preliminary search and are dispatched when a problem arises in the dungeon, and as a priority during an unexpected gate or monster wave, respond to crimes committed by awakened people that the police cannot handle, and provide security for key personnel.
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s fans and In Yoo-shin, who found out that Hunters of the Ministry of Public Safety Have separate uniforms, are secretly waiting for him, and they also serve as flower screens at national events.
“You should come visit often!”
While receiving greetings from employees who were sad about parting ways with the totem, In Yoo-shin and Kim Ji-yeon moved to the Hunter Affairs Department of the Hunter Support Bureau, which assists her affiliated hunters. It was a completely different building from the Department of Public Safety and Security. Although In Yoo-shin was still a contracted civil servant, everyone knew that he was Hyeon Gyu-ha’s dedicated manager. The president probably knows too.
On the first day of their move, Manager Kim of the Hunter Affairs Department personally took them around the office and introduced them to the hunters and employees. The fieldwork of public affairs hunters, who were civil servants in specific positions, was team-based, and Lee Hye-yeon, the team leader of the Alpha Team, led the entire fieldwork as the general team leader. In principle, Hyeon Gyu-ha should have been part of the existing team, but a separate team was created. The team member and team leader was Hyeon Gyu-ha.
The waiting hunters mainly stayed in the physical training room where they also trained. And when he came down to the basement fitness room.
“Oh, it’s a gym. I was already planning to sign up for the gym, but it worked out well.”
After chewing the hunters’ greetings with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and admiration, and looking around inside, Hyeon Gyu-ha looked back at In Yoo-shin with sparkling eyes. The moment he met the lively eyes of a child who had discovered a toy, an ominous foreboding feeling that he did not know why sent a chill down his spine.
“The gym looks like a perfect match for you. Yes?”
“Um, me? Not Gyu-ha-ssi?”
“There is no need, as my muscles are still perfectly maintained, and this is our date spot for you, Master.”
“yes? Why me? Why at the gym!”
In Yoo-shin was scared and grabbed Hyeon Gyu-ha, but Hyeon Gyu-ha shamelessly patted his protesting head and looked back at Manager Kim.
“You’re my manager, so you don’t have to be in the office, right?”
“Of course.”
Manager Kim, who completely understood the power dynamics of this currently most famous couple in Korea during the brief introduction, nodded without a second thought. As a bonus, even Kim Ji-yeon, who was being guided along, turned a blind eye to In Yoo-shin.
“Yoo-shin, you should also get a hunter’s license.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who caught In Yoo-shin trying to run away from the fitness room and stuck him next to him, spoke affectionately as if he were asking for a date.
“I don’t need a hunter’s license.”
“I need you.”
“why.......”
“I have to go on dungeon dates with Master from now on. You definitely don’t plan on leaving me alone while I work in the dungeon, do you?”
