Episode 322
Ep. 322
Regarding Yunjung’s true identity, I had no particular explanation to offer.
But how could I explain here that she was an agent sent from the United States to recruit me, got brutally beaten by the plants in the garden at the start, claimed she was too terrified to leave, and so I let her stay at my place for a night?
‘Even I wouldn’t understand what I was saying.’
Still, calling it a homestay felt extraordinarily odd as well.
It would be better for both of us to explain things more leisurely over lunch.
But first.
“W-what is all this?”
I had to admire the dining table Yunjung had prepared.
My family typically made do with simple side dishes and a main course of meat or fish from the supermarket.
Yet Yunjung possessed remarkably exceptional culinary skills.
Ingredients I couldn’t fathom existed anywhere had appeared from every corner, transforming the expansive table into an arrangement as lavish as a high-end hotel set meal!
Breakfast had been relatively simple—salad, toast, and soup made from various vegetables from the yard.
But lunch was pure extravagance.
Braised short ribs, grilled fish, skewered meat, kimchi rolls, seasoned vegetables.
Perfectly tailored to Minjeong and Donghoo’s taste for Korean cuisine!
“I simply prepared what was in the refrigerator and freezer, so I hope you enjoy it.”
“If this is simple, then what I’ve been eating all this time—was that caveman cooking?”
*Zzzzzzzt—!!!*
“Well, natural flavors are that good, you see~”
Yet the kitchen had just finished cleaning, so immaculate it was impossible to believe such an elaborate meal had been prepared here.
I regarded Yunjung, who wore a leisurely smile, with considerable suspicion.
‘Is she not an American black agent, but rather… a housekeeper of sorts?’
It could have been a recruitment method developed as a novel tactic.
There was no other way to explain it.
Truth be told, I preferred this kind of practical help over flattering words and persuasion.
“Suyeon, sit down.”
“O-okay…”
I guided Suyeon, who still seemed unable to grasp what was happening, to her seat.
And so the meal began.
“So this person is—”
“Yeah, tell me.”
Suyeon picked up a piece of skewered meat and took a bite, as if to listen without making others uncomfortable while eating.
“W-well, even so, my identity is…”
Yunjung tried to stop me, as if reluctant, but couldn’t actively intervene.
Only then did Yunjung, now seated across from me, properly observe the woman staring at her with a peculiar, wary gaze.
‘S-S-Seo Suyeon???’
What was this?
The woman who had appeared to be here casually in comfortable clothes was none other than South Korea’s second-ranked hunter, Seo Suyeon!
She had only lost her top ranking position recently to the irregular Ilgyeok, and without such an upset, she would still be firmly holding the number one spot.
‘Was there information that Shin Gung was close to Ilgyeok? If there had been, I couldn’t have forgotten it. That would mean it’s information even the home country hasn’t grasped yet….’
But what was even more surprising was.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m Han Yunjeong, an American Black Agent….”
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch—!
She took a bite of the sandwich Yunjeong had made, and her eyes widened as she swept through the food on the table with such an impressive appetite.
…To be honest, she ate with considerable relish.
Had it not been for Yunjeong’s special circumstances, I would have felt proud as the cook and served several more plates.
Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter—!!
Incidentally, Jia, who was already eating quietly, was engaged in quite a battle over the table with her.
Minjeong and Donghoo, being ordinary people, didn’t know the situation and could only marvel at how the perfectly good food disappeared in an instant.
In any case, Ihyeon told Suyeon about how Yunjeong had carelessly entered the garden and gotten into trouble before being rescued by the Knights.
“Are you listening?”
“Yeah.”
Suyeon spoke with such composed bearing that it was hard to believe she was someone who had been eating just moments before.
“So when my identity was exposed to her and she asked me to give her anything to do, I tried giving her simple household chores, and now this is happening.”
“I see.”
Tap—
Suyeon set down the chopsticks she was holding with an audible sound on the table.
“You approached with quite impure intentions, didn’t you?”
South Korea’s number two ranked Hunter, Shin Gung Seo Suyeon, shot her a piercing gaze and spoke thus, and the pressure was considerable….
Or so it should have been.
“Suyeon, you have sauce on your mouth.”
“Oh, really?”
Since I had eaten the lunch Yunjeong prepared quite deliciously, the weight of her words was relatively diminished.
In any case, considering Suyeon’s personality of barely being able to speak properly to strangers, it was certain that she definitely disliked Yunjeong.
Yunjeong decided to acknowledge that fact cleanly.
“Yes, that’s right. It was certainly like that at first. But now that my identity has been exposed, I have no intention of causing further harm to Ilgyeok.”
Upon discovery, no rescue measures possible and denial of involvement.
In other words, any measures Yunjeong takes to save her own life cannot be held responsible by the American government.
Yunjeong made this fact clear to Ihyeon.
Ihyeon, hearing those words, decided to think more carefully about what to do with her.
Yunjeong’s fate would change depending on Ihyeon’s choice, but her resolve was firm.
Suyeon greatly disliked Yunjeong, but she certainly felt the determination gleaming in her eyes.
“….”
After staring at Yunjeong for a moment, Suyeon.
Stood—
Rose from her seat with a resolute motion.
Seeing this, Minjeong asked.
“Huh? Suyeon, are you already heading home?”
Given the tense atmosphere, it was only natural that I would think that way.
But Suyeon’s answer was unexpected.
“Pardon? What do you mean by that?”
“?”
“I’ll help with the housework too. I ‘always’ have.”
“???”
Always?
Minjeong stared at Suyeon oddly as she spoke as if it were obvious.
Since Suyeon had moved to the house next door, she did visit fairly often and ate meals here.
But she had never actually helped with the housework.
Even for Minjeong and Donghoo, asking that supposedly great Shin Gung to do chores felt somewhat burdensome.
And it wasn’t as if Suyeon was particularly good at housework, nor did she have the audacity to volunteer to help.
Of course, Suyeon didn’t just freeload meals.
She did her part by frequently bringing expensive gifts and food, or keeping them company.
As Minjeong and Donghoo looked up at Suyeon in bewilderment as she volunteered to do housework, Ihyeon also panicked and began moving the remaining dishes to the sink.
“Shall I start with the dishes?”
Suyeon rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward confidently.
As she began sweeping up the empty bowls within reach, Ihyeon, flustered, also moved the remaining dishes to the sink.
“Suyeon, you rest. I can do it, or I can have Yunjung do it.”
“No, ‘I always’ did this.”
Glare—!
Ihyeon shot a look at Minjeong and Donghoo behind him.
So while he’d been away, they’d been making Suyeon work like this?!
No, no, no—!!!
Of course, for Minjeong and Donghoo, who had no idea what was happening, it was utterly unfair!
Yunjung was equally shocked.
‘Se, Seo Suyeon doing the dishes…!’
She’d thought from their first meeting that something seemed ominous, but she never expected it to be this bad.
There was once a joke circulating on Korean internet from back then.
Somewhere in Central Asia, top actress Han Taehee tills fields, and Song Jihyun does the dishes.
It was a joke made because rumors had spread that there were so many beautiful women there.
But in Ilgyeok’s house, a transcendent-level Undead who behaves exactly like a person tills fields, and Shin Gung Seo Suyeon does the dishes!
Yunjung trembled with eyes full of fear as she looked up at Ihyeon, as if she’d met someone truly terrifying.
‘What did I even do?!’
…Ihyeon finally understood why Minjeong and Donghoo had such wronged expressions.
Crash—!
“?!”
“Oh, my mistake…”
Of course, contrary to the confidence with which she’d stepped forward, Suyeon wasn’t particularly skilled at housework.
Clatter—!
It would be difficult for a Hunter to miss the mark to that degree.
After that, Suyeon refused to return home and kept poking around, insisting on helping with various tasks.
Naturally, this led to frequent collisions with Yunjung.
…Though it also seemed like she was deliberately creating those confrontations.
“I arrived here first, you know?”
“Ah… yes, but that’s not how you’re supposed to do it.”
“Then how…?”
‘Are they really colliding, or not?’
The general pattern went something like this.
Suyeon would enthusiastically attempt something, and when Yunjung approached, she’d immediately bristle defensively.
Then when Yunjung offered advice on the proper technique, Suyeon would shrink back and nod meekly.
Yunjung never understood why Suyeon was being so wary of her in the first place, and Suyeon herself didn’t have the kind of personality to deliberately treat others harshly—creating an awkward situation neither could quite resolve.
“Hyeon, Suyeon’s having a rough time. Why don’t you tell her to go home?”
Donghoo had grown so exasperated that he finally said this to Ihyeon.
“Yeah, Yunjung seems inconvenienced while working too….”
Minjeong subtly backed Donghoo up from behind.
“No wait, if we’re being fair, Yunjung came here as a spy, so Suyeon’s the one who deserves more sympathy.”
“What? Did I ask you to compare who deserves more sympathy? Still, Yunjung does her work better….”
‘…Aren’t they taking sides?’
Minjeong and Donghoo had split into opposing camps—a subtle battle of wills!
In any case, considering the peace of the household, it was a situation that couldn’t be left alone any longer, so Ihyeon finally made a decision.
“Yes, I’ll handle it for now. Mom and Dad, please go inside and rest.”
“Uh, what are you planning to do?”
“Surely you’re not going to shoot Yunjung with your gun…?”
Ihyeon asked as if they were spouting complete nonsense.
“Why would I shoot a person?”
“Well, I read online that Ilgyeok eliminates anything that gets in the way without mercy or hesitation….”
Learning about his own son from the internet—what an absurd situation!
In any case, Minjeong and Donghoo realized they’d said something strange and stopped meddling, heading inside the house instead.
And the place Ihyeon contacted was….
“Yes, Personnel Manager. I think you’ll need to come by my house for a moment.”
To report a spy, you dial 111 without an area code.
But in Ihyeon’s case, simply calling the Management Bureau was the cleanest solution.
* * *
Had it been thirty minutes since Ihyeon called the Management Bureau?
Above Ihyeon’s house, which had been peaceful as always except for the minor tension between Suyeon and Yunjung,
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud—————!!!!
A helicopter suddenly appeared, making a tremendous noise.
“…Could that be…?”
Ihyeon had a feeling he knew what it was.
The helicopter that had begun hovering stationary above the yard soon—
“Descend! Descend! Descend!”
Combat operatives clad in black tactical gear bounced down with lightning speed, landing cleanly on the ground.
A rope was then thrown down, and Seongnyun, dressed in a suit and looking pale, rappelled down smoothly.
‘That’s proper form.’
For reasons I couldn’t quite explain, even Ihyeon—who had trained with special forces—had to admit the technique was well-executed.
But setting that aside.
‘Why would he go this far…?’
I couldn’t understand why Seongnyun had mobilized a helicopter and special forces just to rush over like this.
– Yes, Hunter, what’s the matter?
– Ah, Personnel Manager, you see, an American Black Agent came looking for our house. I’ve restrained him, and he’s not being particularly hostile either.
Click—!
Should I have anticipated this from the moment he hung up the phone like that?
