Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 136
‘Now I have to do something delinquent.’
After all, if you’re going to be a delinquent toddler, you should at least skip kindergarten on your own.
The moment she made up her mind, she contacted Grandfather and asked him to show her around the company.
Then she secretly snuck out of kindergarten and got into the car Grandfather sent to head to the company.
‘Thump thump!’
From the moment she avoided Teacher Yoon’s sharp eyes and secretly left kindergarten, Han Gru felt like her heart would burst.
‘Han Gru is so delinquent…’
Skipping kindergarten was completely different from sneaking around avoiding the Orphanage Director or the Sitter.
It was the first time in her life she had willfully not done something that was part of her daily routine.
Han Gru turned off her mobile phone and shoved it deep into her bag.
Her heart pounded violently with the uncomfortable feeling that she might have done something terribly wrong from her very first act of rebellion. She might have caused too big a problem in her anger.
‘Maybe I should have told Teacher Yoon before leaving.’
But soon Han Gru shook her head back and forth.
Then it wouldn’t be rebellion. It would be a field trip.
Besides, Teacher Yoon was an incredible ability user, so if she had been honest, she definitely would have stopped Han Gru from carrying out her rebellion.
She had to steel her heart.
‘Firm, clench.’
While she was pulling herself together again, On Suhyung asked in a gentle voice.
“Han Gru, did you contact Dad?”
Shake shake.
Han Gru raised her eyebrows high and shook her head with puffed-up cheeks.
At this, On Suhyung roughly guessed the situation and patted her back.
“Something made you angry at On Jurim, I see.”
“Dad is stupid. Even when I do good things, he says I just can’t do them. He doesn’t even listen to what Han Gru says.”
Hmm, On Suhyung listened quietly and nodded.
“I see. Then let’s leave the stupid dad alone and have fun with Grandfather.”
“Yes!”

Wherever you went, talk of the anonymous Santa monopolized conversation topics.
Thanks to the Syrup Potion, Korea was no longer in such an urgent position, making negotiations with foreign countries more favorable.
Foreign officials who had been trying to gain a big advantage from this opportunity naturally looked displeased.
And among them, the one with the most annoyed expression was On Jurim.
On Jurim sat alone at the harmonious table with his arms crossed and a disgruntled face.
Management Bureau Director Go Gang glanced at On Jurim, wondering which country this guy was really from.
He used to grumble about barely being able to see his daughter’s face, so why did he look like he’d eaten shit even when things were going well?
But now Go Gang knew how to appease Jurim.
“Our Han Gru must be pretty cute. To make that On Suhyung show such an embarrassing side of himself.”
Go Gang grinned and showed Jurim an article. It was a fresh, warm photo that had just been posted, so it was definitely the first time Jurim was seeing it.
He meant for Jurim to look at his beloved daughter and lighten up his expression, but Jurim’s face crumpled as he looked at the photo article Go Gang showed him.

When he even snatched the mobile phone to stare intently at the article, Go Gang, who had expected him to be happy, hesitated.
“Bureau Chief. I need to step out for a moment. It’s urgent.”
“…Huh?”
Leaving behind the bewildered Go Gang, Jurim quickly exited the hall and immediately called On Suhyung.
Soon the ringtone stopped and the other party answered the phone.
“Ah-!”
Jurim, who was about to shout loudly, took a breath.
“Father…”
– Oh, Jurim.
Contrary to his own feelings, his father’s voice full of cheerful laughter made him even more angry.
“Didn’t you send Han Gru to kindergarten?”
– Ah, did you see the article? I was going to take her out to eat, but I had no choice due to scheduling. I’ll feed her properly at home for dinner, so don’t worry.
Jurim frowned.
“Don’t change the subject.”
– What did you contact me about?
Jurim let out a small sigh.
“…Is Han Gru going to stay there?”
She must have gone to Father because she was still angry with him.
Father would accept her since he didn’t know the whole story, but this time it was something he couldn’t yield to Han Gru on.
He wanted to tell him in detail how dangerous this incident was, but he substituted persuasion with heavy silence.
On Suhyung would know well that once he made up his mind about something, he didn’t change it easily.
Then, On Suhyung, who had been silent for a moment, called him quietly.
– Jurim.
“Yes.”
– I’ve never properly scolded you boys all this time.
“Pardon?”
Jurim replied in a bewildered voice.
As he said, he hadn’t scolded them. He hadn’t scolded them…
It wasn’t wrong. I just didn’t want to admit it at the time.
Since my realization was that when someone acts like a jerk, you can act like a jerk back to them, I spent hours making excuses, shouting, and keeping my mouth shut.
But Father just listened silently and watched.
– Looking back now, I think it was because I wasn’t used to emotional confrontations either.
Expressing his feelings was always like difficult homework for On Suhyung.
– It must have seemed like I was forcing my thoughts on you each time. But still, I was listening to everything you said.
“….”
– The reason I devoted myself to work was to support you no matter what you wanted to do.
“….”
– Whether it was sports, arts, studying, or business. I needed to have a lot to give so you could choose whatever you wanted.
Knowing how hard life is, how many countless mountains you have to climb.
As a father, I wanted to clear away at least a few stones from the path ahead.
– …Though you always exceeded my expectations.
Who would have thought the world would suddenly turn upside down. Then you’d suddenly say you were going to the Tower.
On Jurim let out a laugh like a sigh at the mention of exceeding expectations. He now fully understood what that meant.
– If I had stopped you, would you not have gone to the Tower?
On Jurim closed his eyes.
“…No.”
– Alright. I’ll take Han Gru to the main house. Cool your head and come pick her up.
“Yes….”
On Jurim put his mobile phone in his inner pocket and entered the hall again.
The day he came back from hitting a senior who had picked a fight with him.
When Father was silently watching, it was On Jurim who finally raised both hands in surrender.
Because he knew it was all his own stubbornness.
All the Koreans in the hall were smiling.
It was the change Han Gru had brought about.
On Jurim frowned and tilted his head sideways with his arms crossed.

After thoroughly touring Doan with Grandfather and arriving at the main house, snow had piled up softly.
As Han Gru wandered around the spacious garden leaving footprints, a helper who had rushed out from inside with clothes put on the bear jumpsuit that Chairman Nam had sent and even wrapped a scarf around her.
“You’ll catch a cold, little one.”
“Thank you.”
When Han Gru bowed politely in greeting, On Suhyung smiled and greeted her in return.
“Thank you.”
“Not at all. I never expected to meet such an adorable granddaughter.”
“On Jurim has good taste.”
“Indeed he does.”
When On Suhyung responded with a smile instead of words, she beamed brightly.
Meanwhile, Mephistopheles, who had been flying around briefly, settled back on top of Han Gru’s head.
“Han Gru, would you like to go see Chairman Nam tomorrow? He’s making quite a fuss about wanting to throw you a birthday party.”
“…!”
Han Gru’s eyes sparkled as she nodded her head.
Buzz buzz!
“Alright then, I’ll contact him. I’ll be watching from here, so go and have all the fun you want.”
“Yes!”
Han Gru raised her hand high in response and crossed the center of the garden, stepping through the deep snow.
Even as she crouched down to pile up snow and make a snow rabbit, she kept replaying Grandfather’s words in her mind.
‘Han Gru’s birthday!’
A birthday party just for Han Gru.
The corners of her mouth melted into a soft smile.
‘Amazing!’
Would her older sisters and brothers come to the party too?
And.
‘Dad is….’
Would Dad come to Han Gru’s birthday party? Is he worrying about Han Gru right now?
For a moment, her heart became as soft as a marshmallow.
Her turned-off mobile phone came to mind, but Han Gru also had things she couldn’t compromise on, and this time it was something she couldn’t give in on, even if it was Dad.
She firmly resolved not to answer until Dad regretted it and cried his heart out.
‘Han Gru is going to become a supreme hunter!’
No one can stop me! Not even if it’s Dad!
