Lee Yoon-kyung and Jung Se-hyun, who had supported the employees outside, eventually returned to the room.
Lee Yoon-kyung, who sat down, sighed tiredly.
âHaeun, are you okay?â
âYes, I have no injuries.â
âAre you really uninjured?â
âYes. Really. Nothing happened during the day today. No, it cannot be said that there were no accidents, but for now, I am fine.â
âHah.â
Haeunâs answer was not satisfactory, but Lee Yoon-kyung moved on. Instead, she expressed dissatisfaction with the anomaly of the suddenly increased dungeon.
âAn unpredictable flood of the response system. In that case, there will inevitably be civilian victims.â
âIsnât that different from the rift, honey?â
âYes. Of course, the damage is smaller, but⊠The problem is that accidents that are completely impossible to measure keep happening.â
Gates and dungeons have been around for 30 years.
Although it cannot be said that it is perfect, a national system that can manage the occurrence of dungeons has been established to some extent.
It was said that it was possible to predict where the gate will open in advance and determine the time remaining until the dungeon breaks through the energy measurement.
Of course, there were also âcracksâ that were completely unpredictable and considered a disaster. However, in terms of frequency, the possibility of that was very slim. In addition, studies that can predict even this crack to some extent are being conducted in the United States.
However, recently, the âfloodingâ phenomenon, in which monsters flow out of the gate that did not even go to the dungeon break, has been occurring continuously.
Lee Yoon-kyung sighed and touched her forehead.
âIâm going to put pressure on the Dungeon Intelligence Bureau to rush development of a new detection system.â
Haeun rolled her eyes. When her parents say something serious, she doesnât intervene. Instead, she stared intently and picked up the meat and ate it.
Jung Eun-woo became nervous when the roasted meat disappeared.
âPig.â
âMom, Jung Eun-woo called me a pig.â
âEun-woo, use nicer words to your sister.â
âMom, canât you hear her call me Jung Eun-woo?â
Jung Se-hyun placed well-cooked meat on Haeunâs plate.
âSister, you can eat more. You worked hard today.â
âSe-hyun, after all, Se-hyun is the only one who worries about this noona.â
âIdiot.â
âBrother, arenât you worried about your sister?â
âWhen did I say that?â
âGuys.â
Jung Jinho stopped the childrenâs argument. Since there were so many people, the room quickly became noisy even if each person spoke one word at a time.
âOriginally, I had something to tell you today.â
âWhat?â
âAre you finally finished with your new weapon? Hey, thatâs undercooked. If youâre going to eat it, eat this.â
âMom.â
âEun-woo, please speak nicely.â
âNo, why bother taking care of youâŠ
âEun-woo!â
âCome on, sister.â
âThere⊠Can I talk? Guys?â
After waving his hand a few times, Jung Jinho was able to get the focus of the children again. He then sighed and said.
âLast time in America, my dad asked me to visit him as an item maker, so I decided to go.â
Jung Se-hyun asked with a short exclamation.
âWhen are you leaving?â
âThat made the schedule a little tight. Iâm leaving next Wednesday. I think it will be a little over a month. Thatâs why, Haeun.â
Jung Jinho looked back at Haeun and said.
âWhy donât Haeun go to America with me?â
âI do not like it.â
Haeun refused without even the slightest hesitation.
âIâm busy.â
Jung Eun-woo raised his eyebrows as if it was ridiculous.
âHow the hell are you busy??â
Pls read only at pinkmuffintl.
âFirst of all, Iâm going to watch all the delayed movies this week. Iâve also booked a hair appointment, and on Sunday, I decided to go on a trip with my friends. So I wonât be home.â
If she stays at home, she may get a disease that will kill her, but she has a plan to go out and play. Haeun recites her next plan.
âNext week, I plan to go to the water park with the club members. Iâm going to rent a car, so donât worry about it, Mom. On Friday, I booked tickets for a band concert this time in Korea, so Iâm going to go there, and I was going to go on a trip to Thailand for about a week at the end of this month⊠Are you okay, Mom?â
âWho are you going with?â
âItâs Yoon-ju, Hye-sun, and Ji.â
âHaeun, what about your father? If I go to America with your dad, heâll buy you a lot of things that you like.â
âYou said that before, but I had to stay in the dormitory every day.â
Haeun inflated her cheeks and let out a groan.
Haeun had already been to the United States with Jung Jinho. When she arrived, she thought that she could of course go sightseeing and have fun, but the reality was that she had to be half-forced to go to the dormitory where Jung Jinho was staying. He said it was dangerous to go out alone.
âI am not going to America anymore with father. Anyways, Iâm busy.â
âBut Haeun, todayâs work is also the case, and mother wants Haeun not to go out alone for a whileâŠâ
âBut Iâm going with my friends?â
âThey arenât Hunters, are they?â
Lee Yoon-kyung showed her concern.
âI would rather Haeun go to America with your dad. Youâll be under guard because of your dad, so why donât you just spend this summer vacation in America with him?â
âNo. I mean, Iâve already made plans with her friends.â
Haeunâs legs twitched.
Her family was like this every time. As an S-class awakened, they alone must have been worried about the non-awakened Haeun, but nonetheless, they were overprotective.
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ says that it is a matter that ends only when Haeun makes her Hunter debut.]
âI hate that even more!â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ sighs, saying that she is stubborn anyway.]
âPhew. Then, Haeun, how about this?â
Lee Yoon-kyung put her head down and came up with an alternative.
âIâll get you a guard, come with me.â
âEh. I donât like that either.â
âJung Haeun, you know that even skipping todayâs work means that your mother takes care of you a lot, right? With gates and dungeonsâŠâ
âDonât look at it, and donât go near it.â
âRight.â
Haeun pouted her lips.
Lee Yoon-kyungâs attitude was determined as if a needle wouldnât go in. Haeun nodded her head reluctantly, as she thought she would be kicked out of the house if she argued anymore.
âFor now, go with Eun-woo and Se-hyun this week.â
Jung Se-hyun, who met Haeunâs eyes, smiled brightly.
âI like going out with my sister.â
âMe too, Se-hyun!â
âBut I have a guild raid scheduled for this Sunday.â
Jung Se-hyun leaned his body toward Haeun and whispered in a low voice.
âWould you like to go take a look too?â
âDungeon?â
âItâs a joke.â
Jung Se-hyun smiled pretty with a face that didnât seem like a joke at all. Haeun muttered inwardly.
âI wonder if he sometimes forgets that I am a civilian.â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ said she is not even a real civilian.]
[It has signed a contract at the most, but it feels unfair that she was only doing civilian cosplay.]
âWhat if such a fragile civilian gets hurt while entering the dungeon.â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ catches the back of Haeunâs brazen remarks.]
âIf there is a plan to attack, Se-hyun canât do it. Then Haeun goes with Eun-wooâŠâ
âWhat do you mean? Look at me. You want me to play the role of Jung Haeunâs nanny?â
âSo youâre saying itâs not dangerous for her to walk around alone?â
âIâm busy! And sheâs an adult!â
âI know youâre off duty this weekend.â
âTsk.â
âStop.â
Lee Yoon-kyung put her foot down.
âYou got caught up in an accident today, it can be dangerous. There will be a guard from next week, but for this week, at least one of the family members has to protect Haeun.â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ shakes its head saying it doesnât know who should protect whom.]
[Even now, reveal that you are awakened and tell them to proudly enjoy your life as a hunter.]
âItâs okay.â
She couldnât just go out with a problem like this.
Haeunâs life motto was clear.
Donât even look at things like Hunters, letâs eat well and live well.
âItâs everyoneâs dream to play and eat for the rest of their lives, isnât it?â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ is sad for it is not its dream.]
[It complains that it received a fraudulent contract.]
Haeun sticks out her tongue sarcastically.
No matter what the constellation says, Haeun will enjoy her life.
âAww! I donât want to!â
Even if itâs as long as she wears her glowing brother as a guard!
~*~
In the end, Jung Eun-woo was pushed by his parentsâ annoyance and ended up escorting Haeun for the weekend.
There was one thing she needed to make sure of here, but Haeun didnât particularly like going with Jung Eun-woo.
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ asks why.]
âJung Eun-woo is too loud.â
He has a rough mouth and is secretly a meddler, so he is the king of nagging.
âDonât do this, donât do that.â
It would be much better to not listen to him and have her good younger brother, Jung Se-hyuon instead.
Well, it wasnât without its flaws. Jung Eun-woo is a luxury driver. Especially on a hot day like now, he shined even more.
âOpen the door quickly.â
âOh, wait a minute.â
âHurry!â
Beep. The car door opened. Haeun quickly got into the car and hurried.
âGet started! Air conditioner!â
âHa, really. Shut that little mouth of yours.â
âHuh? Should I tell mom that my brother cursed at me?â
âDamn it, it wouldâve been better if you couldnât speak.â
Jung Eun-woo, wearing sunglasses, was annoyed. Haeun smiled brightly and lifted her middle finger. Jung Eun-woo also reciprocated the action.
After bickering with each other, Jung Eun-woo asked.
âSo where should we go today?â
âFirst to my hairdresser. Then in the evening, at the Westwood Hotel.â
âOh, please⊠Why the hairdresser?â
Jung Eun-woo frowned.
âIf itâs a hair salon, it wonât take long. Get a haircut, please, because you look like a ghost.â
âYou are the ghost! Do you know how hard it is to manage this?! Do you really have no eyes for this?â
âIs that so? But when I see you drying your hair sometimes, you look like a grandmother drying seaweed stems.â
[The constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ bursts into laughter at Jung Eun-wooâs words.]
âIs that because your aesthetic is strange? And donât you know that men like long straight hair?â
âEven straight hair depends on who⊠Hey! If you hit the driver, itâs an attempted murder!â
As he struggled, he reached my destination quickly.
The beauty salon that Haeun attended has a member system. Haeunâs designer welcomed her.
âHaeun, please come.â
âHow have you been?â
âEvery time I see Haeun, I think you get prettier. How can your skin be so shiny? Arenât you secretly eating something good?â
In front of the hairdresser who spoke as if she were in an advertising commercial, Jung Eun-woo leaned over to Haeun.
âHey. I will escape for a bit.â
âOh, why donât you do that permanently.â
âAh, Iâll think about it in my next life.â
Jung Eun-woo laughed and went out to the road. Haeun shook her head desperately.
