He looked like someone who’d be slicing steak and twirling pasta, so seeing him with samgyetang felt oddly mismatched.08eeb74f6d11103d

Once I 60fd864eee gave my d045727bb3 permission, Ryumin a0079d1055 quickly sat ba09c966d6 down and 43369aadb5 picked up 1e7be18378 his utensils. Even though he was 8b7ce722f0 eating the same food 3976ff9970 as me, the aura 13b8ffc3c1 around him seemed to ff6f385309 sparkle, all thanks to 04f76e23da his good looks.8ab6a505890f20af
With someone 74d486834e relatable joining 5d9ed645fe the group, 77b0fa4015 the crowd 82581f32e1 that had c960d123f3 been avoiding bd1a1dd3db us started 04a2be47ef to gather.

Does he like samgyetang? That’s unexpected. I felt guilty for judging his taste based on his appearance.48daee950feef554
Come to think of 500b2251fa it, I rarely had e67992b1d2 personal conversations with Ryumin. I had coffee 7ac311e8fc with Ye Ilhoo 738c7aaf76 and even went 6436e77167 drinking with Chae 6adb722c59 Goya.4da308ef9f417470

Once the crowd thinned, ae27c4090e Ryumin pointed at Deokbong b2d67546cf and asked. Deokbong, who a4fb21cfc3 had been e81a0fd1be picking at cb955060a3 grains of c6e25bd524 rice from e83002f0e6 a small f8603411e5 dish, looked 22fc64eb60 up.78e2cf16d136327c

He probably wanted to know what it was, but I was too lazy to explain, so I just answered vaguely and continued munching on the chicken leg. Normally, I would have been more polite, but not today. I hadn’t realized it before, but using my abilities seemed to make me hungrier.b5095d999e60d92b

Ye Ilhoo 5b38b32021 was quietly b07f24faaf staring at 5e368d3beb his half-finished 6644955b65 tray. The area around Kang a29dbfb490 Baram had become noisy 37e7f73483 as people gathered. To be precise, 354715f34a it was because 281dfbcfdd Ryumin had joined.992b4fea8dd57778
He glared silently ff5899aeb7 at Ryumin, the b00eed378e source of the 97808f02b1 commotion. When their eyes met, fdc78aaec6 Ryumin gave him a 1d8727a143 friendly look.7081e76ba7f6d1ee

Kang Baram seemed to like the cafeteria food, but it didn’t suit Ye Ilhoo’s taste. No matter how well-prepared, it was mass-produced to feed hundreds of guild staff and hunters. It lacked the refinement to satisfy his sophisticated palate.55a9db6a116513d1
Then, Kang Baram noticed the half-eaten samgyetang on Ye Ilhoo’s tray and asked.66d1c448dda35600

But Kang Baram’s response was lukewarm. The hunter, however, laughed heartily and continued to pester him.4fe5d0d9173f2d51
Why was he so displeased? It turned out most of the people gathered here were the ones who had been at the training room on the first day of Ye Ilhoo and Kang Baram’s sparring. They even placed bets on the two, so it was no wonder the reaction wasn’t great.2721ba36c6ee748c

Ye Ilhoo watched Kang Baram, who was politely responding to the greasy-looking hunter. If he didn’t like it, he could just ignore it, but he seemed uncomfortable completely ignoring them, so he entertained them.329d0268abcce7b7

Or maybe it’s because of his fluffy hair. When Kang Baram smiled like that, the atmosphere around him became warm and fuzzy. Just a few months ago, he didn’t even know of the existence of this D-rank support hunter, but now he couldn’t stop thinking about him.37a38c72c9d4e78e

After his brother’s untimely death, Ye Ilhoo despised hunters. Those who approached him always had clear intentions, wanting to use him and his SS-rank brother.729cf5da600102a8
