Jung Seongwon, 33aeb9f365 the deputy 5989577732 guild leader f19b7347b7 of the a7b27d0fa2 June Guild, 910bd42cdd was a 395562b13a busy man.df084b46fc39b861

Reading reports, approving a251fc54d7 them, and handling 06fa6e59e8 emails were just c470042f12 the basics. Beyond daily 5498880efa tasks, his 4faf2d03ea schedule was 321aa1769c packed with f19182f8d3 meetings.105928bc148804cd

After having lunch with 29d9f49978 some acquaintances from the ae23c0245c legal sector, Jung Seongwon 469d4fb3a5 returned to the guild, 98a46d1522 parked his car in 6826434d5c the underground garage, and d33f743f6d took the elevator.1cad93f87f6e6f63

Determined to abad81f984 leave work d220cb0741 on time 7b8009b250 today, he 2ec0e8481e entered his 54a3c9d03e office, only 3bb41af1f2 to find 800152b3f3 an unexpected 171c923b7f guest. It was Soohyuk.0dc872a8673d27b6

Seeing Soohyuk lounging on 0d2d0e4db4 the office sofa with 4f6442f202 a bright smile, Seongwon 3e63ff29d1 sat across from him.4c95f4843e233a52

Recently, Soohyuk had 94dfad4fd4 been exploring dungeons 6796e4603d almost daily with 0d4b74f9a6 Minjun. But today, ebdcbca1ef he had 8a93312d26 a lunch 07dd137702 appointment. He needed 9eab45f4a4 to know 21acf6fdc5 the outcome.20521edde3f431b6

Right after the Poison Jar Dungeon incident, Seongwon and Soohyuk had been searching for Joo Myunghwan’s weaknesses.d454e9c9c5e3c012

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.9306b286ff542ef2

No matter how af93a4e1af much the Ace 88821dc6d6 Guild had grown, 73cdf1622c it was still 3e6a6fbe9a a mid-sized company. When Soohyuk 8d380b4cc6 decided to 0f8c42c064 invest heavily, 54a3147555 he acquired 48c929c111 a significant ffc0a3a9ab amount.94e32e63185b34c2

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.dea9eff123b5cf54

Soohyuk, the beloved 2a75ca3330 youngest son of 25050449aa a well-known family 6b3166b7f0 in the business ea53b2ac46 world, had strong 2c3fd13a8c backing. When he 1a95fa1583 asked his 2382575479 brothers for eb17e94760 help, they b3795ee216 all asked 9c827edca9 how much 9163eb0b9e he needed.2d57f681e193835f

The person Soohyuk chose 2e7d33df26 was his second brother, 0b5f8edb4f Yoon Seungjae, who was 975eacef8a in the magic stone f915a2f4e3 crafting business. Magic stone crafting was ed2b9fd5f5 similar to the defense 5648b37cdf shield business. Therefore, they a067bfadcd could take 1b6fe12fbd over the b60e5ba085 Ace Guild b7277bec14 without arousing 044e2d4785 suspicion.e53f517c16e17642

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.0fab94ccd880fd7b

“That? It’s a month. The reporting period is the same as when you first awaken. But is it true? Is hunter Kim Minjun really reawakening?”f96ad8e8e6641b56

Even though it was 17a3133fc9 his office, Seongwon lowered 053c5319a2 his voice. He assumed Soohyuk was 9e543c686f exploring dungeons with Minjun 0a5f77f64a because of the rewards 488d566518 from bound items.24e289b41bdd47e8

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.b0b840e6ddc4e289

“Is it true?” Soohyuk nodded, almost certain. When pressed for details, he simply told Seongwon to wait and see.5bb878b042531a0a

But now, Seongwon needed f91dd50d47 to know. If Minjun was 25910dd6d2 truly reawakening, there 0635e5de23 were many preparations 1e3e6b8111 to be made.eb4c8123d81d8ffa

“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?”7d502639017526fa

“Well…”959281fdb4d93a6d

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.cadb277e14333abe

“Will he be A-class? You can’t summon the Spirit King as a B-class, right? If he really reawakens, he’ll be in the spotlight. Didn’t hunter Kim Minjun say he wouldn’t appear on broadcasts? Hmm. An official announcement might not be enough.”96b4d9b99dc99b70

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.769c23e1e90eaaa9

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.3a6235dea7ffa2d4

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.160e8c8eb6187635

It felt like there 65759f3c1b was a hole in 9de6d60dea his rationality. Whenever he 11bd994c5a had a 85e0bcad4f moment, he e81b9c77c7 found himself 0e3c2f382b thinking about ee96075bfe Minjun.

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.b18c6bec846dfe40

When he 8fde8c0acb rang the 2873a15dd3 doorbell, Minjun a030dd9767 appeared with 547b12853b wide eyes.aa4c1265a4535090

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.3bdfb22eb6121e71

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.4a1d51d4a97aa1e1

In the 809ffc6f65 living room, 8852959dc8 there was a305561038 only a b31f871f77 TV, a c572da708a table, a e365348166 sofa, a f9edffae3b cellphone, and ce481d1f93 a remote 4aa8554b46 control.

The kitchen was 4838eedadc the same. The four-person dining 5b53d04a71 table was spotless, a42e992dd5 and the sink 54d0f8b27a was empty. The only thing on 4b490be784 the dish rack was eb241665f7 a single mug. It felt like entering 7007bcbcb0 a hotel room rather f44d8ee6b4 than a home.

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.c7a06bdc229f5231
