GM Ch98

“What do you want to eat for breakfast?”

“There’s leftover pizza from yesterday.”

“How about gukbap?”

“Oh… I like that.”

Minjun, who was lying on the bed like half-melted cheese, jumped up and sat down at the word gukbap. Soohyuk raised his lips at Minjun’s sparkling eyes. He had made him use his strength, so it was important to feed him well.

“Lie down more. I’ll pack it up and bring it back.”

“Let’s order delivery. Or we can go eat it.”

“Delivery isn’t available this early in the morning. And if we go to eat it, you won’t be able to say anything, right? Wait for me.”

“Okay.”

Minjun quickly agreed to the explanation that he had to eat gukbap in silence. He didn’t want to use his stealth skill and run away if he said something wrong.

Soohyuk, who had changed his clothes, left the room, saying that he would be back soon. Minjun, who was alone, rolled around on the big bed.

His condition was fine. He had sex quite intensely yesterday, but thanks to the potion, nothing hurt. The feeling of a large shaft filling him up was still there.

He had attacked because he liked it too, so he couldn’t just blame Soohyuk. But Soohyuk’s overflowing lust was a problem.

“Just being big isn’t everything…”

Looking at the empty seat next to him, Minjun chuckled and patted Soohyuk’s pillow with the back of his hand. He was satisfied with the sex itself with Soohyuk. He also liked being around Soohyuk after sex.

“I think I’d miss it if we couldn’t do it anymore.”

Minjun thought about what would happen after he finished all the sex he had to do because of the unique item. He knew he wasn’t good at reading the room in these situations. So, he couldn’t gauge whether it would be okay to keep things as they were even after there was no need to have sex anymore.

Being called sex partners was out of the question. But he couldn’t ask him to date either. He liked Soohyuk, but not in that way.

Above all, the problem was that Soohyuk was his follower. He didn’t have a divine status yet, but he couldn’t know what impact his existence would have on him.

“Hmm, wouldn’t it be better not to?”

Minjun thought simply. It seemed wiser to end things cleanly according to the contract rather than getting entangled with Soohyuk, who was the guild leader and his first follower.

He felt relieved once he came to a conclusion.

His heart felt a little strange, but Minjun ignored it and got up. Moving his body was the best thing to do in times like these.

Minjun made the bed, changed his clothes, and waited for Soohyuk in the living room, stretching.

“Wow. You even bought suyuk (meat dish)?”

“It looked good.”

Inside the bag that Soohyuk put on the table were pork and rice soup, suyuk, and even cola. Minjun diligently set the packaged dishes on the table. The pork and rice soup, of course, and even the suyuk and other side dishes were all neat, clean, and delicious.

They talked occasionally during the satisfying meal.

“Do you know about the Hunter Competition? The Korea Hunter Championship.”

“Yes, I know. The first winner was the guild leader, right?”

Minjun nodded at Soohyuk’s question. It was one of the most bewildering things when he returned from the other world and looked up information. A Hunter Competition. Putting aside the purpose of revealing the competence of hunters to alleviate the anxiety of ordinary citizens and contribute to the progressive development of mankind, he was surprised that such a competition was held and was even popular worldwide.

But Minjun soon accepted it and began to browse the videos. One of the most viewed videos was of S-class hunters fighting each other in the Hunter Competition.

One of the reasons Soohyuk was called the strongest S-class hunter in Korea was because he had won all the Hunter Competitions.

If the skills of the hunters were similar, the victory or defeat depended on when and how they used their skills, and Soohyuk accurately targeted the opponent’s weaknesses.

Choi Euiseong was his opponent in the finals of the previous competition. Both of them refrained from using wide-area skills with great destructive power. Nevertheless, the battle itself was nothing short of spectacular. Soohyuk summoned a golden sword, and Choi Euiseong summoned a dark blue spear, tenaciously attacking each other’s weaknesses. In the end, Soohyuk, who saved his strength until the end, became the final winner.

Even expensive broadcasting station cameras couldn’t properly capture the movements of the S-class hunters. Still, he had watched the thrilling video with rapt attention.

“Yeah. It’s being held again this time.”

“Really?”

“You’re going to participate too, right?”

“Of course. Of course, I am.”

Minjun, who had put ice cream in his mouth, answered emphatically. In the early days of the cataclysm, everyone had no choice but to fight monsters for survival. Then, as the chaos subsided to some extent and society stabilized, the question of who was the strongest S-class hunter emerged.

The S-class hunters in Korea were on fairly good terms, but they couldn’t escape the topic of who was the strongest. They bickered with each other and eventually went into dungeons to fight directly.

At that time, Minjun had defeated Seo Wooju, Lee Hana, Choi Euiseong, and Kwak Jonghoon. He had never lost to Kwak Jonghoon, who kept coming at him without accepting defeat.

But now, he couldn’t gauge how it would go. The problem was the items. Unlike himself, who came to Earth penniless, the other S-class hunters were wearing mythical items. Soohyuk’s words that items were also a skill were not wrong.

Minjun didn’t care about the rankings, but he had a competitive spirit. He didn’t want to lose because of items. He decided that he had to get a proper weapon somehow before the Hunter Competition was held.

“Then we can fight then.”

“Huh?”

“You said let’s fight once, right?”

“That late?”

“I have to get my equipment. So I don’t hear that I lost because of items.”

“We can fight barehanded.”

Minjun’s argument was consistent. Fighting Soohyuk was something he could do right now by bidding on a dungeon.

“It’s still too early. Get used to your skills.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Soohyuk’s words that he needed to know how to use various skills were not wrong either. Minjun, who couldn’t say that he already knew everything, answered obediently.

“Don’t you ever think that you might be eliminated?”

“Neither does the guild leader.”

“I’ve won before. Twice.”

“I’m… well, I’m just confident because I’m young.”

Minjun quickly regretted trying to say something witty. This was a failure. As expected, Soohyuk burst out laughing.

“Okay. Confident Hunter Kim Minjun.”

“Then we’ll meet in the finals. Don’t let your guard down.”

Since it was a failure anyway, Minjun just said whatever came to mind. They finished breakfast while joking with each other like that. The snack was a cup of ice cream bought from a convenience store. After eating the ice cream deliciously, Soohyuk got up, saying he had to go to the guild.

Minjun followed Soohyuk, who was about to go up to the second floor to take a shower, and asked.

“Do you go to work this early?”

“I have a lot of work piled up.”

Soohyuk had been busy for several days cleaning up the accident that happened at the Hunter Market. Jung Seongwon was also helping with this, so the guild’s work was piling up.

In fact, he should have processed the piles of emails and documents yesterday afternoon. But he flew to the safe house without hesitation at Minjun’s message asking when he was coming. Jung Seongwon called him crazy when he told him to cancel all his afternoon schedules.

Soohyuk didn’t regret having a good time with Minjun. But today, he had to come to his senses and work.

Soohyuk, who was about to go up the stairs, playfully asked Minjun, who was looking at him with a regretful face.

“Why? You don’t want to be alone? Don’t go?”

“Can I?”

Soohyuk paused because Minjun’s face instantly brightened. Honestly, he wanted to say yes, that he could, and ask if he wanted to go for a drive since he must be bored staying at home. As the guild leader, being a few hours late for work was nothing. He could just work overtime to catch up on the piled-up work.

Soohyuk desperately racked his brain to find an excuse to be late for work. At the same time, he understood why his brothers always stayed out when they got a lover. The saying that a nation falls for the smile of a beautiful woman was the same. If Minjun asked him to stay with him, he felt like he could throw away guild work or anything else.

He had really fallen for him.

Soohyuk, checking his condition, covered the corners of his mouth with his hand before lowering it. He had to go to work now, even for his own sake. Instead, he came up with a way to appease Minjun separately.

“I’ll go early and come back in the evening. Let’s have dinner together. Let’s go out. I’ll make a reservation. Should we eat meat? How about sushi?”

“Meat.”

“Okay.”

Soohyuk smiled and answered at Minjun’s consistent taste and went up a few stairs. But Minjun kept looking up instead of following him, so he couldn’t take his feet off the ground.

Soohyuk, realizing that he could feel good with things like this, turned back to Minjun again.

“When are you going to shower?”

“Oh, later?”

“Should we shower together?”

It was an impulsive suggestion. Then Minjun widened his eyes and slowly backed away.

“No. It’s okay.”

“Oh. I thought you wanted to shower together because you were looking at me so earnestly.”

“No, I wasn’t.”

“Okay.”

Soohyuk smiled and went up the stairs despite the firm refusal. He showered, changed his clothes, and finished preparing to go to work.

“Have a good day.”

Soohyuk, who was putting on his shoes in the hallway, thought that Minjun’s greeting, who had come to see him off, was like that of a married couple and then grabbed his head.
