Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Dohyun, Hanalin, Lee Dohee
Watching Lee Dohee’s evident confusion, Dohyun offered an explanation.
“She studied abroad.”
“Huh?”
Understanding immediately from those few words, Lee Dohee glanced at Hanalin with a hint of concern and asked.
“Oh? Then she can’t handle spicy food well, right?”
To that, it was Dohyun who shook his head this time, responding as if it were absurd.
“No, she eats spicy food just fine. Korean blood runs true—she devours blue peppers like they’re cucumbers.”
“…It’s not quite that extreme.”
Embarrassed by Dohyun’s exaggeration, Hanalin protested, and Lee Dohee nodded approvingly, satisfied with the assessment.
If she could handle that level of spice, tteokbokki would be no problem for her.
“Then let’s go with tteokbokki as planned!”
“Sure.”
“Hmm.”
Dohyun inwardly disapproved of Lee Dohee’s antics, but since Hanalin mentioned trying it for the first time, he figured once wouldn’t hurt and nodded in agreement.
Recalling how Lee Dohee used to pester him for tteokbokki back at the family home, Dohyun appeared somewhat tired of it, but decided to go along with it since they were already out.
As the three of them—Hanalin, Lee Dohee, and Dohyun—moved together,
he could feel the sharp sting of surrounding gazes piercing through them.
Though Dohyun wasn’t particularly ugly, Hanalin and Jiyuchan possessed world-class beauty, so they always attracted such stares when together. Today, without Jiyuchan present, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Dohyun with expressions that screamed: what is this mediocre guy doing walking alongside such an incomparably beautiful woman?
After walking a bit further, even Dohyun grew bothered by it and spoke to Hanalin.
“Narin, let’s cast a perception veil.”
“Huh? Should we?”
“Yeah. They’re staring way too much.”
“Oh, you’re right. I didn’t really notice.”
As they exchanged words, Lee Dohee looked at them both in confusion, but Dohyun didn’t answer. Instead, he cast a perception veil spell on himself, Lee Dohee, and Hanalin.
Unlike transformation magic, this spell diminished surrounding awareness.
By minimizing others’ attention and perception, the effect made people feel their presence but prevented anyone from seeing them clearly.
Once Dohyun cast the spell on Lee Dohee, she felt it take effect and blinked rapidly, finding it quite fascinating.
It was certainly fascinating.
The sensation of being visible yet unperceivable was genuinely remarkable.
Watching Lee Dohee marvel at it, Hanalin offered a suitable explanation.
“It’s a spell that lowers surrounding perception.”
“Wow, something like that’s possible?”
“That’s why it’s magic.”
As Hanalin spoke about magic with a proud and confident expression, Lee Dohee suddenly exclaimed “Wow!” while looking at her.
Hanalin assumed it was admiration for the magic itself and simply moved on, but that wasn’t it at all.
‘I thought she’d be cold and aloof, but she’s not like that at all.’
Hanalin certainly gave off a cold impression on the surface.
So Lee Dohee had expected as much, but seeing that Hanalin was actually warmer and quite endearing surprised her.
And looking at Dohyun, she still harbored the same thought.
‘How could someone so beautiful as our Narin end up in the same party as him?’
It had only been a short time since they’d met, yet Narin had already become “our Narin,” but she looked at Dohyun as if she truly couldn’t understand it.
Even seeing Hanalin’s appearance, she seemed like an exceptional Hunter, so did that mean her older brother Dohyun had reached that level too?
As she pondered this, she recalled the joke Dohyun had made earlier.
That he was a Hunter worthy of being called a legend of the century.
Could that have been half-serious?
‘What? Is my brother really such an amazing Hunter?’
Lee Dohee’s assessment of Dohyun gradually rose in her mind, but Dohyun, unaware of this, was simply guiding them toward the nearby Instant Tteokbokki Restaurant.
From Lee Dohee’s perspective, having watched Dohyun since childhood, it still didn’t make sense, but as she became aware of the situation and looked at him, she could definitely feel something had changed.
His shoulders were noticeably broader, and despite wearing clothes, the musculature of his body was evident.
Especially since Lee Dohee attended a physical education university, she could discern this better than most.
‘Now that I think about it, when did my brother’s body get so good?’
At this thought, Lee Dohee felt slightly confused, but just then, as they arrived at the restaurant, Dohyun spoke to Hanalin and Lee Dohee.
“That must be it.”
“Oh? Just looking at the sign, it seems like it’ll be delicious.”
“Hmm? Really? What’s gotten into you, brother?”
“I looked it up and it had the best reviews.”
As Dohyun said this, he subtly reduced the intensity of his cognitive suppression and entered the restaurant, while Hanalin similarly relaxed her own suppression slightly as she followed inside.
As the door opened with a jingling sound, an employee at the restaurant greeted them.
“Welcome. Is it three of you?”
“Yes, three people.”
“Please sit wherever you’re comfortable, and once you’ve decided on your order, just let me know.”
Following the staff member’s courteous guidance, Dohyun took a suitable seat and sat down, with Lee Dohee sitting beside him. Noticing this, Hanalin subtly sat across from Dohyun.
And as if it had become habit, Lee Dohee pulled out chopsticks, and just as Dohyun reached for the water cup the employee had brought to pour water, Hanalin hastily grabbed the cup.
“I’ll do it.”
“Oh? Sure, then.”
Dohyun casually agreed, and Lee Dohee watched this with a subtle expression before similarly thinking nothing of it and setting down the small plate along with the chopsticks and spoon.
Once everything was set up, Dohyun picked up the menu sheet and quickly handed it to Lee Dohee.
Since Dohyun didn’t know much about instant tteokbokki and Hanalin was the same, the only one left was Lee Dohee, the tteokbokki connoisseur.
Lee Dohee naturally received the menu sheet and naturally began checking items, and Dohyun spoke to her.
“Order a lot.”
“Huh?”
“Hunters eat a lot, so we need to order plenty.”
At Dohyun’s words, Lee Dohee naturally recalled how much Dohyun had eaten when he came home recently and nodded, but then at the word “Hunters,” her gaze naturally shifted to Hanalin.
And seeing Hanalin, whose frame was much smaller than her own fairly petite build, her gaze seemed to embarrass her, as Hanalin’s ears flushed slightly red.
“Huh?”
“Ahem.”
“Order a lot.”
“Ah, understood.”
When Dohyun asked if she understood, Lee Dohee’s appetite awakened for the first time in ages, and she added everything she wanted to eat.
She ordered instant tteokbokki for three people but in a six-person portion, added side dishes as well, then called over an employee.
“We’re ready to order.”
“Yes, coming.”
When the employee arrived and saw the paper, they startled slightly and looked at Dohyun’s table with a question.
“Three… of you, correct?”
Their expression was quite skeptical, but Dohyun quickly stepped in.
“Yes, I eat quite a lot.”
“Aha, are you one of those mukbang content creators? I’ll bring it right out for you.”
After the employee left with those words, Hanalin’s ears turned red from slight embarrassment, but she held her head up confidently.
Dohyun wasn’t particularly thinking about it, but Lee Dohee spoke with evident excitement.
“This is the first time I’ve ordered this many dishes—except for club gatherings!”
“Really?”
“Let’s eat a lot.”
Watching Dohyun speak curtly and Hanalin speak kindly, Lee Dohee wondered how two members of the same party could be so different.
Conversely, Hanalin was thinking the same thing as she observed Lee Dohee.
‘They must be siblings.’
Though Hanalin’s thought would upset both Dohyun and Lee Dohee if they heard it, they certainly were similar.
Dohyun wasn’t unattractive, but Lee Dohee was quite pretty, so you wouldn’t immediately guess they were siblings—yet their mannerisms and speech patterns were remarkably alike, making it clear they were related.
Since Hanalin was an only child, seeing behaviors in both of them that she didn’t understand made her feel quite envious.
She thought about what it must feel like to have siblings like that.
“So how did you two end up in the same party?”
“Pfft!”
Splash.
Startled by the sudden question, Hanalin accidentally sprayed water from her mouth, but in that instant before the water could scatter, she manipulated her mana and quickly used basic elemental magic—water manipulation—to stop it.
As she gathered the water dispersed in midair and wiped it away with a napkin, Lee Dohee’s eyes widened like lanterns at the near-miraculous display.
She had seen perception-blocking magic before, but witnessing magic that seemed to defy gravity like this was unavoidably astonishing.
Dohyun tilted his head at Hanalin’s sudden surprise, finding it strange, then casually explained.
“The Hunter Association just assigned us to form a party together.”
“Right, of course.”
Watching Hanalin, who seemed to have something weighing on her mind and couldn’t quite meet their eyes, Lee Dohee tilted her head as if sensing something odd, but she let it pass easily at the mention that they both belonged to the Hunter Association.
Meanwhile, Hanalin felt a bit embarrassed because she had actually begged to join Dohyun’s party directly, but since no one else knew that yet, she kept as quiet as possible.
After exchanging various other stories and passing time, not long after, instant tteokbokki arrived in an impressively large pot with a generous portion.
Seeing the tteokbokki generously topped with various toppings and bubbling appetizingly, even Dohyun, who hadn’t been drawn to it initially, swallowed hard.
“Oh, the presentation looks quite decent?”
“Right? We found a real gem of a restaurant.”
“It looks delicious.”
As Hanalin watched with considerable anticipation, the employee who brought the tteokbokki spoke up.
“Let it cook just a bit more until the ramen is done, then you can enjoy it. Bon appétit.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Thank you.”
“Thanks.”
All three thanked the employee and waited for the ramen to finish cooking. Before long, the noodles were ready, and several side dishes arrived alongside them.
When various fried items and tuna mayo kimbap appeared along with other street food dishes, Hanalin’s mouth fell open at the generous spread before her.
She hadn’t expected to eat so elaborately, but the appetizing presentation made it all the better.
As the food arrived, they all began eating together, and when Hanalin took a bite of the piping hot instant tteokbokki with its spicy kick, her eyes widened.
“Mmm!”
Though it was her first time trying tteokbokki, she found it quite delicious and began eating it carefully. Lee Dohee, the tteokbokki connoisseur, also took a bite and opened her eyes wide as she spoke.
“This place is seriously a hidden gem. I have to come back next time.”
“Not bad.”
Dohyun ate with evident satisfaction, and Hanalin was able to enjoy her meal quite contentedly as well.
Though the meeting itself had been oddly coincidental, all three of them enjoyed themselves, chatting about this and that while sharing a satisfying meal.
Hanalin, who had been somewhat awkward at first, quickly adapted thanks to Dohyun and Lee Dohee’s natural charm, and the three became fast friends.
To what extent, you ask?
“Narin, I’ll text you!”
“Yeah, see you next time!”
They exchanged numbers and made plans to meet again before parting ways.
“…?”
Watching this, Dohyun wondered if women always became close this quickly, but since he was similar himself, he thought nothing of it and headed home.
In his new prized possession—a Sonata X.
