Episode 82
82: Why Are You Coming Out of There? (3)
Lee Dohee, twenty-one years old and five years younger than Dohyun, stared at her older brother as if she couldn’t possibly understand him.
She’d come along with her friend Kim Jimin to confront the Hunter scammer who’d deceived her, but she never expected to find her brother there of all places.
What mattered most was that her brother Dohyun was currently giving a proper lesson to a fraud who’d been intimidating ordinary citizens while posing as a Hunter.
She understood that only a Hunter could properly teach another Hunter a lesson, so Lee Dohee had no choice but to ask Dohyun what was going on.
‘My brother is a Hunter?’
From the start, she couldn’t help but think it was impossible—that her brother had what it took to be a Hunter.
Ever since childhood, he’d shown no interest in fighting and lived as if detached from the world, but he was an ordinary brother, wasn’t he? She couldn’t imagine such a person becoming a Hunter.
Moreover.
‘Didn’t my brother even lose at arm wrestling against me?’
The idea that Dohyun, who didn’t possess particularly outstanding physical abilities, was now a Hunter seemed absurd.
Lee Dohee sent Kim Jimin off and came to a quiet nearby cafe, sitting down immediately to ask.
As if demanding an explanation for this situation.
But Dohyun answered her with an annoyed tone.
“What do you mean ‘what happened’? I awakened and became a Hunter.”
“…You did?”
“What’s with that look? You don’t trust me?”
“No, it’s just… if my brother who said he got a job suddenly tells me he’s a Hunter, wouldn’t anyone be shocked?”
“That’s not a shocked look—that’s the look of someone watching a liar.”
At Dohyun’s words, Lee Dohee brushed it off and took a sip of her drink through the straw before looking at him again.
Her expression still conveyed disbelief.
Though Dohyun felt the same way, to be honest.
‘I wouldn’t have done this if I didn’t have Analysis.’
Without such a fraudulent ability, he never would have started in the first place.
Besides, just as Lee Dohee thought, Dohyun had an extremely frail body—the kind that could even lose at arm wrestling to women—so it made even more sense.
Since Dohyun understood his sister’s skepticism, he didn’t say much in response.
Still, she was being overly distrustful.
“…So is being a Hunter worth doing?”
She asked with a somewhat worried tone befitting a younger sibling, but Dohyun chuckled and answered with confidence.
“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call me a Hunter of the century.”
“…”
Though she looked at him with suspicious eyes, she thought it was a joke and laughed it off.
‘I’m serious though.’
His foolish younger sister wouldn’t understand even if he told her the truth. But Dohyun figured she could think whatever she wanted, and he similarly sipped his drink and acted casually.
Watching him like that, Lee Dohee began asking various curious questions.
“So it’s not very dangerous these days?”
“Being a Hunter?”
“Yeah, I saw on the news that the mortality rate has dropped significantly.”
“Hmm. That’s about right, I suppose?”
Dohyun answered Lee Dohee’s question with those words.
Still worried about something, Lee Dohee asked quite a few questions.
“Are there really other Heterogeneous Beings at the Black Gate?”
“Yeah, quite a variety too.”
“Wow, I heard discrimination was terrible there—is that just rumors?”
“No, the discrimination is pretty severe. They call them inferior races, half-breeds, things like that.”
“What?! Really?!”
Watching Lee Dohee’s considerable surprise at hearing this for the first time, I found myself wondering just how interested she’d become in Hunters.
Well, of course.
‘She’s a PE major, after all.’
Since Lee Dohee’s major was in physical education—specifically Taekwondo—her interest in Hunters was quite high.
I even thought she might actually awaken as a Hunter someday, but I didn’t really mind either way. After all, I was already at the pinnacle of Hunter education, so what did it matter? If anything, she’d become an even stronger Hunter, which would be better for everyone.
Thinking that way, I answered each of Lee Dohee’s questions one by one.
Starting from the Hunter Training Center, I explained how the Black Gate functioned, sharing information that would be difficult for ordinary people to know.
Since there was nothing illegal about sharing such information, I answered appropriately, and Lee Dohee looked at me and said:
“…You really are a Hunter.”
“Then what, a fake Hunter?”
Though I made an exasperated expression at her continued skepticism, I relaxed my face since her doubts seemed to be clearing up now.
Then I gave Lee Dohee a serious warning.
“This is still a secret from Mother and Father.”
“How long do you think you can hide it?”
“Well, I should be the one to tell them.”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
“Besides, my rank is still low right now, so it’d be better to tell them once they feel more reassured, don’t you think?”
“That makes sense. So working with the Hunter Association means you’re affiliated with the Hunter Association?”
“That’s right.”
At my words, Lee Dohee looked at me with a somewhat pitying expression.
Her face had that “well, of course” look, so I stared at her in disbelief.
She clearly thought I’d joined the Hunter Association because I couldn’t get into a Guild.
I could have mentioned that I’d nearly been scouted by the Taebaek Guild or that the Hunter Association was far better than most mediocre Guilds these days, but it would sound like pathetic excuses from someone who’d failed to get in, so I held my tongue.
I just shook my head, deciding to let her think what she would.
“So you made money and bought a used car?”
“Yeah, well. There were some pretty good deals out there.”
“Haha, isn’t that basically extortion on your part?”
“Well, who told them to try scamming me first?”
“Hehe.”
Watching Lee Dohee laugh for a while at my words, I picked up my empty drink and stood up.
Then I looked at Lee Dohee and said:
“Since we’re here anyway, let me buy you a meal. Let’s go.”
“Oh! This is my first time getting a free meal from a Hunter!”
“Seriously, me.”
At those words, Dohyun and Lee Dohee found the comment so absurd they let out a soft laugh, stood up to return their cups, and were about to leave when a familiar face entered the cafe.
Upon seeing that face, Dohyun froze mid-step, and Lee Dohee glanced at him questioningly—only to find herself face-to-face with an extraordinarily beautiful woman whose hair and eyes shimmered with a subtle azure hue.
Witnessing this breathtaking beauty, Lee Dohee couldn’t help but smile, thinking her older brother was indeed a man after all, and she poked his side playfully while asking.
“So you’re a man too, oppa~.”
The moment she said that.
“Dohyun oppa?”
“Oh, fancy meeting you here.”
“Huh?”
At the extraordinary beauty’s unexpected response, Lee Dohee momentarily froze, her eyes darting back and forth between Dohyun and the beautiful woman—or rather, Hanalin and Dohyun—her expression clearly bewildered as she tried to comprehend how they knew each other.
Then Dohyun introduced them.
“This is Hanalin, she’s in my party. And this is Lee Dohee, my younger sister.”
“Oh! So you’re Dohyun oppa’s sister. Nice to meet you. I’m Hanalin.”
“U-um, y-yes, n-nice to meet you. I’m Lee Dohee.”
As the two exchanged this awkward greeting, Lee Dohee’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she kept poking Dohyun as if to say: how on earth are you two in the same party? Faced with her bewildered and flustered expression, Dohyun simply shook his head.
Well, Hanalin’s appearance was certainly striking enough to warrant such a reaction.
Her beauty surpassed even that of famous idols or actors known for their flawless visages, and combined with her deep, pure mana that gave her hair and eyes their azure luminescence, she possessed an otherworldly allure that naturally commanded attention.
‘If she’d seen Jiyuchan too, she’d have lost her mind completely.’
I shook my head at Lee Dohee’s exaggerated reaction and thought as much to myself.
Then, looking at Hanalin, I asked.
“We were just heading out to eat.”
“Oh, I was planning to have some coffee and then grab a meal too….”
“Is that so?”
It seemed Hanalin hadn’t eaten yet either.
But when I started to leave without much thought, Lee Dohee shot me a look as if to say: what are you doing?
She clearly wanted to get closer to Hanalin since they’d happened to meet.
I found it bothersome, but after glancing at Lee Dohee, I turned to Hanalin and asked.
“Well, if you don’t mind, would you like to join us?”
“Really? Is that okay?”
“Of course! If you’re oppa’s party member, you’re always welcome! Hehe.”
When Hanalin asked hesitantly, Lee Dohee answered immediately.
I shook my head at Lee Dohee, and since I didn’t seem particularly bothered, Hanalin nodded and replied.
“I’d be grateful to join you.”
She’d been feeling a bit awkward eating alone anyway, and meeting me here felt like a stroke of good fortune, so she accepted. Lee Dohee’s smile widened with considerable satisfaction.
I shook my head watching Lee Dohee.
How had things come to this?
And so this peculiar group of people set out together to have lunch.
* * *
Hanalin, who had ventured out because staying home felt suffocating, found it remarkable to encounter Dohyun and Lee Dohee by chance, yet she was genuinely pleased about it.
Hanalin, who had come out because she was tired of being stuck at home, thought it was quite a coincidence when she happened to run into Dohyun and Lee Dohee, but she was thinking it worked out well.
Since Hanalin had spent her formative years studying abroad, she had few friends in South Korea and found herself at a loss during holidays with no one to share meals with—so encountering Dohyun and Lee Dohee had been a stroke of fortune.
As they strolled toward lunch, Dohyun suddenly spoke up, as if remembering something.
“Oh, come to think of it, you two are the same age?”
“Huh?! Really?”
“What? Really?”
When Lee Dohee and Hanalin answered simultaneously to Dohyun’s remark, he nodded in confirmation.
I hadn’t given much thought to my younger sibling’s age until now, but upon reflection, both of them were twenty-one—the same age.
At my words, Hanalin and Lee Dohee exchanged glances, a subtle sense of kinship blooming between them.
Then Lee Dohee asked carefully.
“Should we… speak more casually with each other?”
“Sure.”
At Hanalin’s ready agreement to Lee Dohee’s tentative question, I let out a soft chuckle. After all, it had been Hanalin who first broached the subject of how to address one another when we formed the party, so her natural response brought that memory back to mind.
As we continued walking, I noticed several appetizing restaurants and asked.
“So what would you like to eat?”
Lee Dohee fell into contemplation for a moment, while Hanalin answered without hesitation.
“I’m fine with anything. What about you?”
“I don’t mind either. You decide, Lee Dohee.”
“Ugh? Me? Hmm…”
Lee Dohee hadn’t really thought of anything in particular, but she smiled and asked.
“How about tteokbokki?”
Tteokbokki was one of those dishes women typically frequented together, though I’d considered Western cuisine as well. But something about Hanalin suggested she’d already experienced finer dining, so I suggested tteokbokki instead.
At the mention of tteokbokki, Dohyun nodded without objection, and Hanalin’s eyes lit up as she responded.
“Oh, I’ve never actually tried tteokbokki before.”
“Huh? Really?!”
“Ah, that makes sense.”
Knowing that Hanalin had studied abroad, I nodded in understanding, while Lee Dohee looked at her in utter astonishment.
Her expression seemed to ask: How could anyone not have tried tteokbokki?
