Episode 103
103: Dohyun’s True Identity Revealed!? (4)
Dohyun used the bracelet he’d avoided wearing in crowded places, storing everything he’d purchased in his magical pouch before settling comfortably into his car as he headed toward the Parking Lot.
Just as he was about to drive, a thought occurred to him.
‘Watches and bags more expensive than the car itself?’
Thinking of the secondhand Toyota he’d bought, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Before his parents could notice and the situation became serious, before he could even start driving after laughing it off, his younger sibling Lee Dohee—who had noticed ‘1’ disappearing—called him.
He connected the call through Bluetooth and answered.
-Oppa, where are you!??!
“My ears are going to burst.”
-What? You’re saying I shouldn’t be yelling!?
As she said this, he heard movement through the receiver, followed by the sound of a door closing.
Then Lee Dohee spoke.
-Oppa, I’m really sorry. That’s not what I meant to say….
“Sigh, it’s fine. These things happen.”
Since it was going to come out anyway, there was no point blaming anyone. Dohyun already understood this well and didn’t say much, but his younger sibling Dohui seemed moved and spoke with gratitude in her voice.
-Wow… Oppa, thank you.
“Don’t mention it. But I didn’t buy you a gift.”
-Huh? What? Oh, well, of course. It was my mistake anyway. Hehe.
Even as she said this, he could sense sadness in her tone, so Dohyun laughed softly. This time, it wasn’t an empty promise—he really hadn’t bought her anything.
It was his way of saying he’d be watching how she behaved going forward.
In any case, once Dohyun said that, Lee Dohee—reluctant to cross her older brother’s mood—asked him a question.
-So when are you coming home? Mom is absolutely losing it….
“…How angry is she?”
-She’s not saying anything, just doing housework.
“Wow, she’s that angry?”
-Yeah. She’s quieter than when I got caught skipping academy after embezzling the academy fees.
“This isn’t easy….”
Dohyun considered not going home at all, but what good would fear do? He had to face it eventually.
With that thought, Dohyun asked:
“When is Father coming home?”
-Dad said he’s leaving work at 6 today, so around 7?
Checking the time, it was roughly 4 o’clock.
Since he’d left around 1 o’clock, he’d spent about three hours shopping. Dohyun thought about this, nodded, and spoke.
“Then I’ll head over around 7 as well.”
-Got it.
He had to face her eventually, but wouldn’t it be better to delay as much as possible? Besides.
‘At least Father might try to stop her.’
With that thought, Dohyun revised his plan to head straight to the Family Home. Instead, he got out of the car and went back into the Department Store. Since he was here anyway, he might as well grab the lunch he’d missed or eat dinner early.
Just in case his angry Mother wouldn’t let him eat dinner later.
As Dohyun ventured back into the Department Store searching for the Dining Area, a voice called out from behind, causing him to turn around.
“Hey, Dohyun!”
“Huh?”
Upon turning at the sound of his name, I saw Jihun Lee—a friend from middle school—waving his hand, and my eyes widened in surprise.
To encounter him here of all places. As Jihun Lee waved warmly and I approached him with equal enthusiasm, he came toward me as well. Naturally, the girlfriend who had been with him earlier was there too.
“Oh! Jihun, fancy meeting you here?”
“Right? Ha ha. Oh, this is my girlfriend, Miyeon Kim.”
“Ah! Hello. I’m Dohyun, Jihun’s friend.”
“Hello! I’ve heard so much about you.”
I exchanged warm greetings with Jihun Lee and his girlfriend.
Since I hadn’t expected to see them here, I greeted them casually before asking.
“On a date?”
“Yeah. We ran into each other while grabbing food here and doing some shopping.”
It certainly looked that way, so I asked, and Jihun Lee nodded in confirmation.
Upon hearing they were on a date, I smiled knowingly and was about to excuse myself when Jihun Lee casually brought something up.
“By the way, I saw you shopping earlier.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah, you were carrying a ton of bags.”
When his girlfriend Miyeon Kim mentioned this as well, I let out a slightly embarrassed laugh.
While carrying so many bags wasn’t exactly a dignified sight, that was the extent of my concern.
“I was buying gifts for my parents, so I picked up a bunch of things.”
“Wow, you’re quite the filial son.”
Jihun Lee’s girlfriend Miyeon Kim simply accepted this explanation, but Jihun Lee—who had been sharp since childhood—narrowed his eyes with suspicion and spoke to me.
“You… never mind. Let’s talk later.”
“Sure, sure. Let’s set a time. I’ll tell you then. Enjoy your date. Take care, Miyeon.”
I nodded knowingly at Jihun Lee’s words and sent him off to continue his date, then chuckled and scratched my head.
Of course, carrying so many bags would naturally draw attention. And this was near the High School I attended, after all. I thought I’d been a bit careless, but since I hadn’t done anything wrong, I simply let it go.
It wouldn’t matter much even if my friends knew I was a Hunter.
I stopped thinking about it there and, feeling hungry, entered a suitable Dining Area. Many places were on break, but a few were still open, so I had a hearty meal before leaving.
As I exited, it was finally time.
“Alright, let’s go.”
With that thought, I got into my beloved Toyota and headed toward the Family Home.
* * *
7 PM.
At an hour when most people were getting off work, washing up at home, and relaxing—or for those with overtime, still at the Company working late—Han Seunghee sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, while Lee Dohee sat nervously beside her.
Similarly, Lee Seonghun, who had returned home, washed up, and come out, wore a considerably angry expression as he sat next to Han Seunghee with his arms crossed. Still, Lee Dohee seemed more afraid of her mother than her father, continuously watching Han Seunghee’s expression.
As she watched nervously, Han Seunghee asked Lee Dohee a question.
“When is Dohyun coming?”
Upon hearing his full name spoken, both Lee Seonghun and Lee Dohee flinched, and Lee Dohee replied.
“He said it would take ten minutes earlier, so he should be here soon…?”
Before Lee Dohee could finish speaking, the sound of the door lock being pressed echoed through the entrance.
Beep, beep-beep-beep-beep-beep, beep.
Click—!
Ding-dong.
As the door swung open with that sound, Lee Dohee scrambled up from the sofa to rush toward her older brother Dohyun, ready to tell him to hurry inside, when she spotted him appearing in the entryway laden with shopping bags piled high in both arms.
So many shopping bags. Yet each one bore the unmistakable logo of a luxury brand, and she blinked repeatedly as she stared at Dohyun.
While Lee Dohee stood stunned, Han Seunghee hadn’t even looked, and Lee Seonghun wore an irritated expression—but the moment Dohyun passed through the corridor into the living room, Lee Seonghun’s eyes widened in shock.
“What!? What is all that!?”
Startled by Lee Seonghun’s outburst, Han Seunghee shot him a piercing glare, and as he felt her gaze, he swallowed hard and fell silent.
Dohyun, having anticipated this, quickly set the shopping bags down on the ground, and Han Seunghee looked at him and spoke.
“Dohyun, sit in front of your mother.”
Gulp.
Though he was a full-grown adult, he was only twenty-six. Seven years had passed since he came of age, yet the memory of his mother scolding him still lingered vividly, so Dohyun carefully positioned himself and sat before Han Seunghee with utmost caution.
He didn’t kneel, but it was practically the same thing.
Dohyun was a rising star whom Han Muyeol praised so highly, yet before his mother, he was merely her son. As Dohyun opened his eyes slightly to look at her, Han Seunghee let out a deep sigh and spoke.
“Sigh… Is what Dohee said really true?”
The distinctive dialect accent that only emerged when she was agitated made Dohyun swallow hard as he nodded.
“Yeah. It’s true. I became a Hunter.”
“…Then why didn’t you tell me about it?”
“I didn’t want you to worry.”
“You knew I’d worry and still hid it!?”
At the sight of his agitated mother, Dohyun scratched the back of his head somewhat sheepishly.
Yet he didn’t yield and nodded firmly.
“I know you worry, but I’m doing well. My Party Members are incredible people too.”
“Well, that’s true, Mother. I saw one of his Party Members myself, and they really…”
“Lee Dohee, you be quiet.”
“…Yes.”
Lee Dohee, trying to support him despite her own fault in the matter, was silenced without another word.
In any case, Han Seunghee let out another deep sigh at Dohyun’s words.
“Sigh.”
The dialect didn’t seem to slip out this time, but Dohyun remained vigilant, watching Han Seunghee carefully.
And he smiled awkwardly as he spoke.
“Hehe, I also bought some clothes and gifts for you, Mother…”
Speaking cautiously, Han Seunghee glared at him with a piercing look, her eyes slightly reddened as she spoke.
“Did you think your mother would be so pleased with gifts that she’d accept everything you bring!?”
“Y-yes! Your mother is right!”
Lee Seonghun chimed in agreement with Han Seunghee’s words, yet the way he swallowed hard while gazing at the Audemars Piguet logo made his sincerity questionable.
Meanwhile, Mother Han Seunghee was genuinely upset.
“That’s money you earned risking your life—why spend it like this!? Why!?”
At her words, heavy with distress, Dohyun also pouted his lips.
Dohyun understood his mother’s distress well enough, so he remained silent without protest. Then, unexpectedly, Lee Seonghun stepped forward.
“W-well, Dohyun must have his own reasons, right? And if he’s bringing back gifts like those, it seems like he has real ability… gulp.”
“…?”
Just moments ago, Lee Seonghun had worn an angry expression and seemed ready to scold Dohyun, but now that he spoke differently, Dohyun glanced at his father in confusion.
Then, this time.
“R-right, Mom. Even that cowardly older brother of ours does it because he can manage it. Not all Hunters face danger these days, or so I’ve heard.”
“…?”
Dohyun looked at Lee Dohee as if to ask why she was trying to convince their mother.
She hadn’t brought him any gifts, so what was this about? But Lee Dohee understood perfectly well.
She was making a calculated move—if she helped now, perhaps her older brother would look after her later.
“R-right! I heard too—just recently, an employee at our Company awakened and said he was going to become a Hunter!”
“That’s right, Mom. Some of my colleagues have awakened and become Hunters too!”
As the two of them desperately tried to persuade her, Han Seunghee watched them and spoke.
“Sigh. You’re really sure about this, aren’t you?”
Han Seunghee’s words carried profound meaning.
Worry mixed with trust in her son—a complex blend of emotions. Dohyun smiled softly and replied.
“Of course, Mom. They’re calling me the Hunter of the Century, after all.”
“…You’re such a jokester.”
At Dohyun’s jest, Han Seunghee let out a light laugh and asked.
“Have you eaten?”
That was it. The moment she asked about food, everyone knew her anger had melted away, and they all laughed.
And then.
“Not yet!”
“Then let’s eat first. We’ll look at that afterward.”
“W-well, of course.”
Lee Seonghun tried to sneak a look, but Han Seunghee stopped him. Dohyun couldn’t help but smile at the sight.
Family truly was the best.
