He was 21 years old. Ever since he awakened in high school, he has maintained the No. 1 ranking in Korea.
He was also the number one hunter admired by elementary school students, and the guild leader of the Ahyeon Guild, one of the three largest guilds in Korea.
On the Internet, looking at his appearance, it used to shout that he was the standard of a decadent handsome man. He was only 21 years old, but the seductiveness felt from him was extraordinary.
Haeun’s brother, who ranked second in the rankings, had a bloody and fiery personality, so it may be because the internet is more attached to a cold and sober image.
However, no matter what kind of person Seo Do-jun was, he was a person who had no relationship as long as a little fingernail when it came to Haeun, a non-awakened civilian.
Haeun couldn’t understand why Seo Do-jun was standing in front of her. No, she didn’t even know why he’s pretending to know her.
‘Is Hunter Seo Do-jun who’s the guard?’
[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ murmurs that it may be true.]
Just then, the cell phone in Haeun’s hand rang with a ringing sound. Seeing the name that appeared on the screen, Haeun quickly answered the call.
“Mom!”
– Oh, Haeun. Where are you? Are you out yet?
“Yeah, I’m in the hotel now. Just a hotel
”
– Have you met Hunter Seo Do-jun?
‘Wow, I just got goosebumps.’
Haeun nodded her head.
“Yes.”
– Fortunately, he must have arrived on time then. Haeun. Hunter Seo Do-jun will take you home.
“Hunter Seo Do-jun will take me home?”
Haeun’s voice grew louder. The No. 1 ranking as a civilian shuttle! She has never heard of such a thing.
Of course, it was not a good idea for someone who used a relative as a driver yesterday, who is ranked second.
– Oh sorry. Miyeon, I’ll be back soon. Haeun, I’m busy right now, so I just called just to check on you. Hunter Seo Do-jun will give you an explanation. Eat well, I love you, my daughter.
Beep-
Before Haeun could answer anything, the line on the other end hung up. Haeun looked at her cell phone and Seo Do-jun in disbelief.
“I’m sorry. Are you surprised?”
Seo Do-jun smiled nicely. At the sight, the people standing around cheered a little. Only Haeun, who couldn’t adapt, blinked her eyes.
Click.
Meanwhile, someone took out their cell phone and took a picture. Haeun quickly raised her hand and covered her face. It was a reflex action based on long experience and learning.
There were way too many people than expected. Haeun hurriedly packed her luggage and got up from her seat.
“Did you bring your car?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Seo Do-jun, who was quick-witted, realized that Haeun was troubled. When he picked up Haeun’s luggage, he headed out right away.
Seo Do-jun’s car was parked just outside the lobby. A person who appeared to be the driver opened the door, and Haeun got into the car without hesitation.
The car started leaving behind the people who were sad as they called out Seo Do-jun’s name.
Haeun glanced back. She saw quite a few people at the entrance of the hotel.
‘Please tell me this is all not reality.’
[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ tells you not to dream in vain and to see the destination marked on the navigation first.]
In the car’s navigation, the address of Haeun’s family house was already stamped on it. Haeun never said it before!
‘Why the hell did Hunter Seo Do-jun come too?’
Haeun thought that all this crazy thing was an idea that came out of her father’s head. In the past, it was Jung Jinho who had a history of asking an incumbent ranker to protect Haeun while she was on a school trip.
How was it at the time? Of course, there were many reactions that were amazed at the appearance of a ranker who was not easily seen, but there were also children who argued with Haeun, saying that she brought a ranker as an escort because she was too privileged.
It was around that time that rumors arose at school that Haeun was the daughter of a chaebol family.
Haeun shuddered.
No. Anyway, who thought of entrusting the 1st place hunter ranking in Korea with the role of a bodyguard? When people find out about this, they curse. They would say that she had spent the precious hunter resources privately.
Haeun, who was groaning, glanced at Seo Do-jun. She wondered what he would think of this situation now.
‘
Handsome.’
She must say it twice. He was really handsome
It was the first time Haeun had met Seo Do-jun in person rather than in a video or photograph. He was called the classic of a decadent handsome man, and he certainly had a dazzling appearance. If she grabbed ten passersby and asked if the man was handsome, eleven would answer yes.
[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ senses the aura of romance flowing through Haeun and the eyes shine.]
[It admits that Seo Do-jun would not be bad for being Haeun’s boyfriend, but it said that it can’t look at the guy who is in first place thanks to Haeun, and it will support Haeun’s love affair after that guy is ranked second.]
[Still, it thought that there was a possibility, so it bought some of Seo Do-jun’s stock.]
Seo Do-jun turned his head to see if he was looking too intently. Haeun, who met her eyes, smiled embarrassedly.
“Ahaha. I was so surprised that I couldn’t say hello. You’re Hunter Seo Do-jun right
?”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
Seo Do-jun smiled softly. Haeun paused for a moment at that smile, then suddenly came to her senses. There was one thing she had to check first.
“I don’t really know what to say. I was wondering
”
“Yes. I have been asked to protect Haeun for a week. Please take care of me in the future.”
Haeun nodded her head in confusion.
What kind of situation is this? The No. 1 ranked person came to protect a mere civilian.
“It
it’s a bit awkward to ask like this. Are you okay?”
Haeun asked sincerely.
Wouldn’t the No. 1 ranked person be busy even if he just breathed? Even Haeun’s family was living fiercely every day like that. If it was Hunter Seo Do-jun, his work should have been more and not less.
“I believe that I should always be responsible for your orders. Are you worried that I will neglect your protection for my personal business?”
“What? No, not that. I’m okay! But I was wondering if Hunter Seo Do-jun was busy
”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about that anyways.”
He was ranked number one at a young age and was doing better than anyone else, so I thought there would be that side to him.
However, that does not answer all of her questions. Haeun, who thought for a moment, pierced the core.
“Did you get something?”
Experience 80, persistence 20, and add 5. With a total probability of 105%, her dad must have suggested something. Haeun opened her eyes and asked.
“What did my dad give you?”
“Hmmmm.”
Seo Do-jun coughed in vain. I thought he was a little perplexed. Convinced by the reaction, Haeun inquired a little more.
“Did you promise to receive any items? Oh, I’m not questioning you. I’m just asking because I’m curious.”
“That’s
it’s hard to say because of the confidentiality clause
”
Read only at pm tl.
“Well, my dad and I are family, so who cares? It’s not like anything big is going to happen if I know it. I’ll keep it a secret. What did my dad promise? Holy water? Or a legendary item?”
Hunter Seo Do-jun hesitated at Haeun’s persistent interrogation, and eventually spat out the truth.
“
He promised to be the first to process my existing reservations.”
Haeun was right. Her father, who was concerned about the safety of his daughter, eventually pulled the top ranker.
“And Hunter Lee Yoon-kyung said that she would participate in our guild’s next S-class dungeon raid
”
The perpetrator was not alone. Even her mother, whom she trusted, was involved. Also, they are a couple. They;re pretty synchronized.
‘Wasn’t it a bit harsh to get the person ranked No. 1 anyway?”
Of course, it was a one-week contract. Even Jung Jinho and Lee Yoon-kyung, would not have been able to hire the number 1 ranker for Haeun’s entire vacation. But Haeun thought a week was long enough.
The reason that she was able to not act as a hunter herself, was thanks to the Korean system that she had run without any problems.
And, isn’t the contribution of Seo Do-jun, the No. 1 ranked.
‘What if something happens to the country within the week?’
The person ranked No. 1 should work hard for a safe Republic of Korea. Rather than wasting time protecting Haeun!
Besides, Haeun didn’t want to drag Seo Do-jun from place to place as her guard. There’s no way people won’t recognize him. He would have attracted more attention than traveling around with her entire family.
Haeun, who had been thinking about him, finally made up her mind.
‘I’ll have to convince him to send him back.’
She then started acting, blushing like a high school girl facing her favorite celebrity.
“Wow! It’s been my lifelong wish to meet Hunter Seo Do-jun! I am so honored! Can I take a picture with you?”
[The constellation “Mutant of the Abyss” was embarrassed for her.]
Haeun knew it too. She wasn’t really impressed with him aside from his looks. Even when she enters her house, she meets S-classes. Still, it’s better to show a moderately favorable side if you want to roast and boil your opponent.
“You even came to pick me up like this. Thank you so much. To be honest, I was a little bit terrified when I got involved in an accident a few days ago. Even then, there was a sudden flood of monsters in the area that was said to be safe
”
She also appealed to the appearance of a good civilian who is weak and timid at the same time.
“I was scared to go home alone without my brothers. But isn’t it really reassuring because the Hunter is here?”
“It’s nothing.”
“By the way
”
Haeun lengthened her speech. This was the start.
“I don’t know if you could even receive these benefits. I’m worried that the Hunter is suffering because of my mom and dad. Of course, you’re also busy.”
Haeun deliberately lowered her head as if she were gloomy.
“Besides, aren’t there people who need the Hunter’s help somewhere, even at this moment? It would be sad if other people were put at risk because of me.”
[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ sticks its tongue out at Haeun’s act.]
Haeun glanced at Seo Do-jun’s expression. She couldn’t get a good idea of what expression he had because of the sunlight. Haeun carefully brought out her point.
“So, why don’t you just drive me home and go back? I really don’t need to be protected.”
Being an S-class protecting the EX-class, the constellation passing by will laugh.
“I think it would be better for Hunter Seo Do-jun to do what only you can do. I’ll tell my dad that the reservations you made are yours, and that you will proceed first.”
Would this be enough?
Haeun thought that even if she were to be rejected, he would eventually accept her offer.
But his next words were different from Haeun’s expectations.
“There’s a saying that one shouldn’t put their responsibilities on others.”
“Right. So, Hunter Seo Do-jun
”
“The most important thing for me right now is to protect Haeun.”
Saying that, Seo Do-jun looked very reliable.
I thought I could understand why everyone on the internet was shouting at Hunter Seo Do-jun to marry him. Even Haeun’s heart pounded a little.
What is this man? Are you using a dragon to protect me now? Maybe you are interested in me?
[In the spirit of romance that the constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ oozes, it will purchase Seo Do-Jun’s stock additionally.]
“In addition, if I break the contract, I or Hunter Jung Jinho will receive a penalty.”
“What?”
“Since we used the exclusive contract for S-class awakeners, it is impossible to unilaterally break the contract. So, please note that I must accompany you for the next week. It is not possible to act alone.”
Crash-
It’s the sound of Haeun’s illusion breaking.
[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ screams that the stock will crash as soon as it buys it.]
Where the hell did that handsome hunter with the amazing smile go?
All of a sudden, in front of Haeun, only the strict teacher who recites the instructions before the start of the exam remained.
“Then I look forward to your kind cooperation.”
Seo Do-jun smiled softly.
And that smile was amazing. Damn it.
