Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 126

 

* * *

 

Seonwoo Kyeong approached Inyoung, who was sitting on the path near the Life Sciences Building Back Gate.

 

Inyoung was crouched down, looking up at the sky while muttering complaints to himself.

 

“Why did I end up like this… Ah, that 4-year-old, seriously!”

 

Ham Honggi roughly tousled his hair with both hands.

 

He had been working as a laborer, unable to resist even once when Han Gru told him to help out at the cafe.

 

“Ham Honggi.”

 

“…Seonwoo Kyeong?”

 

“You look tired.”

 

“Did you come to make fun of me too?”

 

“Haha! Make fun of you? What for.”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong put his hand in his pocket while looking around. Since it was a building in such a remote location, there was no sign of anyone nearby.

 

After carefully confirming that no one was around, Seonwoo Kyeong pulled something out of his pocket and threw it.

 

“…?”

 

Ham Honggi reflexively caught what flew toward his face.

 

Inside the small syrup bottle that fit in his palm was an unknown liquid.

 

Ham Honggi frowned.

 

“What is this?”

 

“It’s your favorite thing, isn’t it.”

 

“Ah, I told you I don’t do that anymore. Don’t bother me and take it back.”

 

Ham Honggi threw the syrup bottle back to him.

 

“You?”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong caught the syrup bottle and suppressed a sneer.

 

“Honggi, is it because your card got cut off again?”

 

“Huh? Card?”

 

“I’ll give you a discount. You’re a longtime customer after all.”

 

Ham Honggi brushed his hair with a fed-up expression.

 

That Seonwoo Kyeong was good at studying and playing the model student, yet he was more hopeless than himself, a problem child.

 

“You should start living properly too. How long are you going to live like that?”

 

Ham Honggi, who had been saying that, opened his mouth blankly.

 

Ah.

 

Huh?

 

Even as he spoke the words, they felt familiar, and he realized he was reciting exactly what that 4-year-old had said.

 

The nagging that his family had hammered into his ears countless times also came to mind one after another.

 

Ah, damn it. Ham Honggi scratched his head with a strange feeling.

 

Experiencing through role reversal what kind of feelings others had when they looked at him was an unfamiliar thing.

 

‘…This is awkward.’

 

He rolled his eyes with an embarrassed expression, but for some reason Seonwoo Kyeong was glaring at him with a frightening face.

 

‘What?! Why is he making that face….’

 

However, Seonwoo Kyeong quickly hid his expression and smiled brightly again.

 

“Honggi, want to make a bet? Whether you can quit or not. I’m betting you can’t quit.”

 

“What?”

 

That was the moment.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong opened the syrup bottle cap and splashed the liquid on Ham Honggi’s face.

 

Ugh! Ham Honggi scrunched his brow and raised his hands, but couldn’t block all the liquid entering his mouth and nose.

 

“Ptui ptui! Cough! Really- Hey! Seonwoo Kyeong!”

 

The moment Ham Honggi grabbed the collar of Seonwoo Kyeong, who was wearing a vile smile, and pushed him against the wall.

 

Thump!

 

His heart pounded strongly.

 

‘…Huh?’

 

Thump!

 

His chest felt like it would burst and his ribs felt stuffy.

 

Ham Honggi clutched his chest with a pained expression.

 

“Quit what? You fucking idiot.”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong kicked Ham Honggi’s side with his foot.

 

“Don’t be ridiculous. Just quietly do drugs and throw your life in the gutter!”

 

“Urgh!”

 

Ham Honggi curled up like a shrimp.

 

What penetrated to Seonwoo Kyeong’s fingertips at that pitiful sight was euphoria.

 

As he raised the corners of his mouth and lifted his foot again-

 

A burning pain rushed through his thigh.

 

“Argh!”

 

A small child holding a duck clip stood glaring at him with a spirited face.

 

“Stop doing bad things!”

 

* * *

 

Ham Honggi leaned his dizzy head against the wall.

 

“Honggi, are you okay?”

 

“…Ugh.”

 

He wanted to say that he felt worse because of her, but his mouth wouldn’t open.

 

The pounding sound was gradually calming down.

 

If anything, he should be getting duller to drug reactions, there’s no way he’d have such a hypersensitive reaction to this small amount. Could the concentration be high?

 

Seonwoo Kyeong watched Ham Honggi gradually regaining his color with a displeased expression, then soon spoke gently to Han Gru.

 

“You’re Dan’s younger sibling, right? You shouldn’t hit your older brother like that.”

 

“You did bad things to Honggi.”

 

“What? Did you see wrong? The older guys have something to talk about, so go inside. Or should I take you in?”

 

He extended his hand.

 

‘That bastard…’

 

Ham Honggi grabbed Gru and pulled her to his side.

 

“Hey, cough! Leave the kid alone.”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong glared at Ham Honggi with a fierce expression again.

 

“Wouldn’t you, a drug dealer, be more dangerous than me?”

 

That bastard, really. Ham Honggi bit his lips.

 

At that moment, a mobile phone buzzed from inside Seonwoo Kyeong’s pocket.

 

[NAG Gu Shinhu]

 

Damn it.

 

He keeps calling!

 

This was already the 10th call today. Usually he avoided them with the excuse of being in class, but on a day like today, he had no good excuse not to answer.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong swallowed his irritation and answered the phone.

 

“…Hello, Guild Master Gu.”

 

While he was taking Gu Shinhu’s call, Ham Honggi wiped away the liquid and said.

 

“Hey, 4-year-old. Cough cough! Don’t stay alone and go inside quickly.”

 

As soon as Gru appeared, his violently racing heartbeat instantly calmed down.

 

That was fortunate, but Seonwoo Kyeong, who had suddenly turned strange for some reason, was concerning.

 

First, he had to get the 4-year-old away from Seonwoo Kyeong.

 

However, Gru shook her head.

 

“The bad glasses will hit Honggi again.”

 

“Th-that’s because I let my guard down!”

 

Ham Honggi protested with his face turning bright red, and Gru looked at Ham Honggi, who seemed more fragile than usual today, with pity as her eyebrows drooped.

 

‘Should I take it out here?’

 

While Gru was pondering, a familiar voice was heard.

 

“Gru Gru. Why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for a while.”

 

“Oppa!”

 

Gidan, who was smiling, looked at Ham Honggi getting up awkwardly and Seonwoo Kyeong who was on a call with someone.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong waved at Gidan, but his wariness was clearly showing.

 

“…Hmm.”

 

He quickly approached and picked up Gru.

 

‘This is quite an odd combination.’

 

It was the same when he went to the 3rd Grade Classroom to meet Ham Honggi before. The strange tension between Seonwoo Kyeong and Ham Honggi as they made eye contact naturally came to mind.

 

It was while he was trying to figure out their relationship in his head.

 

To make matters worse, Gu Shinhu’s voice was heard from not far away.

 

“Come on, Wookyeong. It’s not that hard to see your face once, is it?”

 

Gu Shinhu, who had been desperately clutching his mobile phone, discovered them and opened his eyes wide.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong’s face turned pale in an instant.

 

“No wonder everyone was coming to this building. I guess it’s because all the celebrities are here?”

 

Gidan bowed politely to Gu Shinhu while holding Gru.

 

“Guild Master Gu Shinhu, did you come to see the festival?”

 

“Oh! Dan, you go to this school too? You must know Kyeong as well?”

 

Isn’t he that mean goby fish uncle? Gru’s eyes turned triangular as she gripped Gidan’s collar tightly.

 

Gidan patted her back to comfort Gru.

 

“As expected of a good school, the way they have fun is different. In my time, I couldn’t even imagine a school like this. The world has really gotten better.”

 

Gu Shinhu smiled brightly and put his arm around the pale Seonwoo Kyeong’s shoulder in a friendly manner.

 

“Wow, what? Don’t tell me Senior Seonwoo Kyeong, are you going to NAG?”

 

“…That.”

 

Before Seonwoo Kyeong could speak, Gu Shinhu cut him off.

 

“Well, Kyeong is still thinking about it, but I’m courting him earnestly.”

 

“Wow, is that so.”

 

If I remember correctly, Seonwoo Kyeong’s rank is C-class. While it’s not a low rank, it shouldn’t be enough for NAG to bow down that much…

 

“Our class is running a cafe in this building, so please come try it. I’ll give you lots of special service, Guild Master Gu.”

 

“Won’t you give it for free?”

 

“Ah, Guild Master. If you like free things, you’ll get bald. You’re the face of NAG, so you need to maintain your looks.”

 

At Gidan’s playful words, Gu Shinhu giggled and glanced at Seonwoo Kyeong.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong was fidgeting with his elbow and looking around, clearly showing his displeasure.

 

Gu Shinhu clicked his tongue. He had been careful to keep it from spreading, but was Gidan also an acquaintance?

 

Could Hyeonak also be scouting Seonwoo Kyeong?

 

Is that why he’s with Gidan?

 

Is that why he avoided my contact so much?

 

Maybe he’s testing the waters between NAG and Hyeonak.

 

Should I drive the nail in?

 

No, let’s not jump to conclusions.

 

Gu Shinhu smiled slyly and subtly tested whether Gidan knew.

 

“As expected, our Jjapso seems to be getting contacts through connections.”

 

Gidan flinched for a moment and pulled Gru deeper into his arms.

 

“What do you mean by that?”

 

Gu Shinhu looked at Gidan’s surprised expression and raised the corners of his mouth in a seemingly relieved manner.

 

“You didn’t know? Kyeong is Jjapso. So you two aren’t that close?”
