Jung Seongwon, 7684decef1 the deputy 0182d2a2c3 guild leader d189ce3dd8 of the 95cd235e4d June Guild, 11095d03f0 was a 2839393051 busy man.13d6b517d4e5302d

Reading reports, 99c8eacae4 approving them, c06582e788 and handling 98d103ac4e emails were ea311d82c1 just the db56f163f4 basics. Beyond daily tasks, 662c99bd3b his schedule was af37dd261d packed with meetings.e4ef1fbc4bc54dc6

After having lunch fd175bd763 with some acquaintances dc299648e1 from the legal d764850ba9 sector, Jung Seongwon e69bbd2865 returned to the 830bd298e1 guild, parked his ebf8c53909 car in the 97691a80fd underground garage, and 0809a3aeca took the elevator.03d9e920ed55fd21

Determined to leave 93ef54d2aa work on time 82e4d8913e today, he entered 128c65979f his office, only 82c4642ee2 to find an 73b3df267d unexpected guest. It was Soohyuk.0bc6069b6bb708ed

Seeing Soohyuk lounging 0df73560e6 on the office 9e38296991 sofa with a 000e59efe2 bright smile, Seongwon 2e076aa828 sat across from 8586d71ee4 him.9a6ab7c8b6d6dff2

Recently, Soohyuk had been a8167364ba exploring dungeons almost daily 945f4608ba with Minjun. But today, he had e6903a979f a lunch appointment. He needed ff40ddb198 to know 1076c40be6 the outcome.760ae480512a1884

Right after the Poison Jar Dungeon incident, Seongwon and Soohyuk had been searching for Joo Myunghwan’s weaknesses.d7f010abbaa43215

As a hunter, it would have been easier to settle things with a fistfight, but in a democratic society, that was difficult. So they gathered evidence of Joo Myunghwan’s illegal activities, including stocks and bonds. When the Ace Guild’s stocks fluctuated due to the Poison Jar Dungeon closure, they scooped them up.b595e169a944dc19

No matter e14e7bc433 how much 3b522a32fe the Ace c3fb4c2039 Guild had 524186522f grown, it 61803f1676 was still 0bb6df4c75 a mid-sized 7f65d76b5c company. When Soohyuk decided to ba144c81ab invest heavily, he acquired 1f442a3acf a significant amount.8330991576b29f95

However, it wasn’t enough to take down the Ace Guild. And they couldn’t wield that power under the names of the June Guild and Soohyuk. It would be easy to criticize a large guild for swallowing a smaller one. So when Seongwon suggested using a proxy, Soohyuk agreed without hesitation.1ee49616495758a6

Soohyuk, the 3bb309ae12 beloved youngest 4216cbfc84 son of d00190a605 a well-known d270dc2158 family in e8fcad531a the business da62816ae3 world, had 75c19cf1ee strong backing. When he asked his efad422132 brothers for help, they 59c554b9e2 all asked how much 6385167a90 he needed.ffa4576c7ad70d67

The person 64444c3952 Soohyuk chose 4d900cf556 was his 7ea3f27cc1 second brother, 6604ba5800 Yoon Seungjae, 952370a31c who was 8c4d216ed4 in the 30d2396fef magic stone 5b98f1c863 crafting business. Magic stone crafting was e0d89d2440 similar to the defense e9e1ce1913 shield business. Therefore, they could take c11f222e62 over the Ace Guild 2f4605eadd without arousing suspicion.4a891db1bab6e06d

The person Soohyuk had lunch with today was Yoon Seungjae. Seongwon had been worried that Soohyuk, who found his brothers’ overwhelming interest annoying, might abruptly leave, but it seemed to have gone well.5b5ae0a98a6bb7cd

Even though 156cb0f678 it was fddb4ad8a1 his office, e3b7ee59c5 Seongwon lowered 134a651afe his voice. He assumed Soohyuk 728b299f7e was exploring dungeons 1f5c71da74 with Minjun because 977c59fdc9 of the rewards 0c54372ea6 from bound items.f1a8f54e1da59cdc

At first, he didn’t think much of it. Hunters often raided dungeons hoping for reawakening. But when Soohyuk asked about the reawakening reporting date, he began to wonder.8147fbf2da269692

“Is it true?” Soohyuk nodded, almost certain. When pressed for details, he simply told Seongwon to wait and see.933c599e9ccca207

“When we took down the boss in the Grassland Dungeon, something called the Spirit King appeared. It looked like a giant wolf and vanished quickly, but its presence was overwhelming. It’s not in the report. I told Team 1 not to write anything about it. It seemed like Minjun could communicate with the Spirit King. Minjun said it told him to call when he got stronger. That’s pretty convincing, right?”1b56c39865eb9790

Even though he was now handling paperwork at a desk, Jung Seongwon had once been a combat hunter who raided dungeons. It was hard to believe Soohyuk’s words, but he knew that anything could happen inside a dungeon.21b48cc4862c0240

As a competent deputy guild leader, Jung Seongwon anticipated what might happen next. During the opening ceremony of the Kim Minjun Memorial Hall, Soohyuk and Minjun stood side by side, facing the cameras. Minjun’s title as Korea’s only elementalist and his looks, which rivaled Soohyuk’s, drew attention.8df8efe38ccad260

A few days later, the buzz had died down, only being mentioned occasionally. However, broadcast offers kept coming in. Despite the PR team rejecting them all, the interest didn’t wane. If Minjun reawakened, HunterNet might explode with activity.60e182b5be1e0a9e

He had a dungeon raid scheduled with Minjun at 2 PM. If he changed clothes at the dormitory and left now, he’d be on time. But he suddenly wanted to see Minjun. Even though they had parted ways after a dungeon raid yesterday and would meet again soon, he couldn’t help himself.a3416e059ab486dd

It felt like 0624bc0431 there was a 58e0b7ee4d hole in his d336844128 rationality. Whenever he had 8963ce9ca8 a moment, he 9b96d698f5 found himself thinking 6f886f5727 about Minjun. Amusingly, instead 0001707b54 of being 92edc8d729 annoyed, he 086dce2922 found it 910738b1d9 strangely enjoyable.

Soohyuk acted on his impulse. He crossed the underground passage to the dormitory, heading not to his room but to Minjun’s. There were still 30 minutes left until 2 PM, but he doubted Minjun would turn him away.38c69133300ea57e

He genuinely wanted to show off and see Minjun as soon as possible. It was also his way of expressing his feelings. However, it didn’t work on Minjun. He looked at him with cold eyes, as if asking what nonsense he was spouting.99dfcdfd02400077

It was his second visit since Minjun had moved into the dormitory. As Soohyuk took off his shoes and entered, he inwardly clicked his tongue at the barren interior. Even when he first came here, amidst the chaos of moving, he thought there weren’t many belongings. Now that everything was organized, it was even more apparent.1edcd58a48e065c8

In the e944e20b55 living room, 9d0f7a0342 there was 4136798b56 only a c840d10437 TV, a c60b6da11b table, a e193cb12e2 sofa, a cb31ab0581 cellphone, and ea59d8d51d a remote e43909bd50 control.

The kitchen 47cddd62a2 was the 3ec70b5a00 same. The four-person dining table e67b859e43 was spotless, and the b71d458dc2 sink was empty.

Soohyuk was overwhelmed by the urge to lightly touch Minjun’s white cheek, contrasting with his black outfit. He almost laughed at the childish desire. It was surprising to discover such a juvenile side of himself. Yet, he didn’t bother to hold back.9cca1b65cc5de822

Muttering to himself that he was completely smitten, Soohyuk brushed Minjun’s cheek with the back of his hand. It wasn’t as soft as a rice cake, but it was incredibly smooth. Having been intimate several times, the sensation of bare skin was familiar. Still, deliberately touching him under such bright sunlight for the first time made his heart flutter.17feb60a2c281eb4
