Episode 61

 

Chapter 61: It’s Not a Lie

 

Vroom.

 

Getting out of the taxi, Dohyun looked at his family’s apartment that he had arrived at after a long time and thought it was still nice to come home.

 

The taxi fare from Seoul was 50,000 won, but he didn’t mind it much.

 

He could afford that much now.

 

Still, perhaps feeling it was a bit wasteful, Dohyun thought seriously.

 

‘I should buy a car, right?’

 

They say it’s convenient to have one, and Dohyun had been thinking he needed a car too.

 

Setting aside anything extravagant, it seemed like buying a decent car would be fine.

 

As Dohyun thought this while carrying the bags he had packed full of stuff toward home, he encountered an unexpected obstacle at the front door.

 

The entrance door that gave no response despite him staring at it intently for quite a while.

 

‘What was the code again?’

 

It had been so long since he’d come that he was confused about the number.

 

After thinking for a moment, Dohyun had no choice but to just press the doorbell.

 

After the electronic ding-dong sound rang out, it wasn’t long before a familiar voice could be heard.

 

-Who is it?

 

“It’s me.”

 

-Huh? If it’s you, oppa, you can just enter the code and come in.

 

As expected, his ill-mannered younger sibling was still blunt as ever.

 

When Dohyun frowned and glared at the intercom camera, Lee Dohee’s teasing voice rang out as the door opened.

 

-You forgot the code!

 

Thud.

 

Seeing the entrance door open along with Lee Dohee’s teasing voice, Dohyun thought to himself.

 

‘No allowance for you.’

 

Even though he had withdrawn money, she shouldn’t expect to get any.

 

With that, Dohyun entered the entrance and took the elevator, pressing the familiar floor.

 

The elevator with the 11th floor pressed made mechanical sounds as it went up, and before long, he was able to reach the 11th floor.

 

As soon as he got off the elevator, he pressed the doorbell of the apartment door that came into view, and this time Lee Dohee immediately opened the door as if she had been waiting.

 

Then.

 

“Huh? What’s all this?”

 

Seeing Lee Dohee’s shocked expression as she looked at all the gifts Dohyun had brought, Dohyun smiled with a triumphant expression and said.

 

“Gifts for Mother and Father.”

 

“Wh-what!? No way!?”

 

Looking at Lee Dohee’s expression as if asking whether he had gotten a job or something, Dohyun said bluntly.

 

“What are you doing, move aside.”

 

“Wow, wow…”

 

“Geez.”

 

To think that such an oppa had actually gotten a job – when she moved aside with exactly that expression, Dohyun shook his head and clicked his tongue. He didn’t know why his younger sibling was acting like that, but thinking that maybe younger siblings were originally like this, he just ignored it and went inside.

 

As Dohyun entered the house like that, a welcoming voice immediately came from the kitchen area.

 

“You’re here!”

 

Seeing Han Seunghee hurriedly coming out with kitchen utensils in hand because she was cooking, Dohyun couldn’t help but chuckle.

 

Thinking that he should come more often from now on, when Dohyun nodded, Han Seunghee’s eyes widened as she looked at the shopping bags Dohyun had brought rather than at Dohyun himself.

 

“Wh-what’s all this!?”

 

The sight of her son suddenly coming and bringing bags full of shopping wasn’t familiar to her, so she was gulping nervously.

 

Wondering if her son had perhaps gotten a job, Han Seunghee looked at Dohyun.

 

And then immediately asked.

 

“Did you get a job!?”

 

Seeing Han Seunghee’s straightforward manner with no beating around the bush, Dohyun gave the answer he had thought of throughout the taxi ride here.

 

“Well, something like that.”

 

He wondered if becoming a Hunter was the same as getting a job, but wasn’t it true that he had gotten a profession that earned money?

 

At least it wasn’t a lie.

 

Han Seunghee, surprised by Dohyun’s answer, opened her mouth wide and soon.

 

“Look at me, the meat will burn.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Han Seunghee said that to Dohyun and then hurried back to the kitchen.

 

He might have thought she could show a little more interest in him, but Dohyun thought this was just like his mother and smiled slightly as he placed the shopping bags in one corner of the living room.

 

As he was putting down the shopping bags one by one, Lee Dohee came over sneakily and asked with a grin.

 

“What about mine?”

 

Had he ever seen such a shameless person.

 

Dohyun looked at his younger sibling with an incredulous expression, and when Lee Dohee was looking at Dohyun expectantly, Dohyun said as if it were obvious.

 

“Would there be any?”

 

“Geez. Hey, if you got a job, shouldn’t you be giving your younger sibling allowance and presents?!”

 

“Ugh.”

 

“Lee Dohee! Your brother just got home and you’re going to bother him!?”

 

When Han Seunghee, who was cooking, scolded Lee Dohee, Dohee spoke as if she felt wronged.

 

“But Mom! He said he didn’t buy me a present!”

 

“What have you done well enough for your brother to buy you a present! You’re a younger sibling who sleeps sprawled out in her room even when the sun is high in the sky just because it’s vacation!”

 

“Hey, what does that have to do with anything!”

 

Even Dohyun thought it didn’t really matter, but since his mother was taking his side right now, he didn’t complain and comfortably washed his hands and feet in the bathroom before coming out to sit on the sofa.

 

And when he triumphantly glared at her with a smug expression, he could see Dohee trembling with frustration.

 

The familiar air and atmosphere.

 

Feeling that after a long time, Dohyun sat comfortably on the sofa.

 

‘Right, this is home.’

 

As Dohyun was resting comfortably like that, Han Seunghee shouted.

 

“Dohyun! Dohee! Wipe the table and set out the spoons for dinner!”

 

“Got it!”

 

“….”

 

Hearing even the familiar pre-meal call, Dohyun got up from the sofa he had just sat on and started wiping the table, while Dohee began setting out the spoons.

 

Once all the spoons were set, Han Seunghee, who had cooked a generous meal, began placing the side dishes.

 

Looking at the bulgogi, pink sausages, freshly made sour-looking water parsley salad, and various other side dishes, Dohyun’s eyes widened too.

 

Although his meals weren’t lacking these days since he was earning good money, how long had it been since he had home-cooked food like this?

 

Thinking it seemed even better than what came out at the Hunter Training Center, Dohyun unconsciously took his seat.

 

And as if even these generous side dishes were cause for complaint, Dohee grumbled.

 

“Making delicious food just because brother’s coming. Why don’t you do this normally too?”

 

“How often does your brother come that you’re jealous over something like this?”

 

“Hmph.”

 

Hearing Han Seunghee and Dohee talk like that, Dohyun really thought he should come more often from now on.

 

Come to think of it, he hadn’t come much because of getting a job. It was the same before graduating from college too.

 

Being busy, he had been somewhat neglectful of his family.

 

‘Better late than never, I guess.’

 

Dohyun thought that and began moving his chopsticks at the generously set table.

 

Every single side dish was one Dohyun couldn’t dislike, but perhaps because he was eating them after a long time? They felt much more delicious than usual.

 

Eating them after so long, they were really delicious.

 

He couldn’t eat kimchi well unless he went to restaurants, but the homemade kimchi was definitely much tastier.

 

As Dohyun was eating enthusiastically like that, Dohee and Han Seunghee were watching him eat like a storm, somewhat flustered.

 

After becoming a Hunter, Dohyun’s meal portions naturally exceeded those of ordinary people in proportion to his physique.

 

Given how much strength was contained in his body, it was perhaps natural, but seeing that, Han Seunghee and Dohee couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

“Did your brother always eat that well?”

 

“Right? Maybe he didn’t get a job but became a mukbang YouTuber?”

 

“What are you saying now….”

 

She was about to scold Dohee for spouting nonsense, but seeing how he ate, it would be believable even if that were true.

 

Still, it looked better than not eating, so Han Seunghee didn’t worry much and likewise began her meal.

 

Dohyun ate as many as five more bowls, and both Han Seunghee and Dohee clicked their tongues thinking it was amazing, and watching him while eating their own meals really felt like watching mukbang while eating.

 

As the meal time was moderately coming to an end, Han Seunghee, unable to contain her curiosity, asked Dohyun.

 

“So which company is it? What kind of work do you do?”

 

At the motherly question, Dohyun chewed what he was eating thoroughly, swallowed, then answered.

 

“I got into a decent company.”

 

“So which decent company?”

 

Han Seunghee asked persistently, but since Dohyun had already expected this much, he gave the answer he had prepared in advance.

 

“It’s a company that collaborates with the Hunter Association, doing work like classifying various items and textbooks and such.”

 

He was a Hunter belonging to the Hunter Association and did classify items and textbooks from Black Gates, so Dohyun’s words weren’t exactly lies.

 

Han Seunghee, who had no idea about this, nodded thinking it seemed like a good company.

 

“Ooh, I heard there are many places like that these days. If you collaborate with the Hunter Association, it must be pretty big?”

 

“Mom? If you work with the Association, it’s at least a mid-sized company. How did that brother of mine get into a place like that?”

 

When Han Seunghee, who didn’t know much, said that, Dohee spoke as if frustrated.

 

At the same time, showing deep-rooted distrust toward her brother like a proper younger sibling, Dohyun smiled and said.

 

“You really won’t get any allowance.”

 

“Ah! S-sorry. Dear brother, haha, w-what would I know, haha.”

 

“Whatever. Thank you for the meal.”

 

When he said that, Dohee was flustered, and Dohyun said he had eaten well and got up from his seat.

 

His stomach wasn’t completely full, but since they were looking at him eating like watching some mukbang YouTuber, and he was reasonably full, he thought he should stop eating here.

 

Since he hadn’t used his body much today, he wasn’t that much hungrier.

 

When Dohyun got up like that, Han Seunghee and Dohee also finished eating and cleared their rice bowls, and Dohyun helped organize the remaining side dishes and tableware.

 

While organizing like that, Han Seunghee said.

 

“There’s some left over, want to take it? Oh right! Kimchi! You ran out of kimchi too, right? Take some while you’re here.”

 

“Ah, how am I supposed to carry all that? I’ll just come often and eat here.”

 

“Oh my, what working person has time to come often? Or I’ll bring it to you.”

 

Such small talk somehow felt precious to Dohyun, so he couldn’t say anything more.

 

After organizing the finished dining table, Han Seunghee looked at Dohyun again and asked.

 

“It’s Wednesday today, did you take a day off or something?”

 

“We have flexible working hours, so I can come to work whenever I want.”

 

This wasn’t a lie either.

 

Couldn’t Hunters be considered the essence of flexible working hours?

 

Freelancing and flexible working hours are different? Anyway, they’re similar enough, so it’s not a lie.

 

Hearing that story, Han Seunghee tilted her head, while Lee Dohee spoke with a genuinely shocked expression.

 

“Flexible working hours?”

 

“Wow, what an amazing company???”

 

She was still puzzled about how her brother got in, but she barely held back for the sake of allowance money.

 

Dohyun shook his head looking at Lee Dohee like that.

 

Could allowance money really be that appealing?

 

Anyway, he had eaten home-cooked food and shown his face after a long time, so Dohyun slowly got up. If he stayed longer, they’d probably ask more questions, so it was best to escape for now.

 

Who knows what might happen later in the evening when Father comes home. He might slip up.

 

“I’ll come again.”

 

When Dohyun got up and said that, Han Seunghee looked disappointed, but perhaps she couldn’t hold back her son’s ankles?

 

“Alright, son, come again.”

 

At those words that seemed to imply she would always be here, Dohyun chuckled and nodded, then took out an envelope he had prepared in advance.

 

It was a fairly thick paper envelope containing 1 million won.

 

He hadn’t packed it generously, but he hadn’t packed it insufficiently either.

 

“Oh my, you should keep it for yourself…”

 

Still, seeing Dohyun giving allowance money saying it was his first paycheck, was she touched because he seemed admirable? Or was it because she realized he had really grown up? Mother Han Seunghee had a moved expression as she received the thick paper envelope.

 

“I’m giving it for both you and Father, so please share it with him.”

 

“Alright.”

 

“What about me me me me?”

 

When Lee Dohee noisily butted in while watching him give the envelope to Han Seunghee, Dohyun chuckled and casually gave her a bundle of cash.

 

“Here you go.”

 

“Wow! Wow! 100,000 won!? Wh-what’s gotten into you, brother!? A-a mid-sized company employee really is different!”

 

Looking at Lee Dohee acting up again, Dohyun chuckled and left his family home like that.

 

‘It’s nice coming here after a long time.’

 

Thinking it was good to visit after a while, he returned home and was reading a Hunter history textbook when it happened.

 

In the evening, he received a phone call from his father after a long time.

 

“Yes, Father.”

 

-I heard you got a job?

 

“Yes, I gave allowance money to Mother to share with you, did you receive it?”

 

-Haha, of course, son. Why are you giving us so much money?

 

Well, since they could split 500,000 won each, this was quite a lot of money even for an ordinary household.

 

But then.

 

-You must be struggling too, but thank you for giving us 300,000 each.

 

“Huh?”

 

-You must be tired, so I’ll hang up. Work hard.

 

“…”

 

Dohyun couldn’t say more and scratched his head while thinking of Mother Han Seunghee.

 

It seemed like Mother had skimmed off an extra 200,000.

 

‘I should send him some separately later.’

 

Dohyun chuckled and thought to himself.
