Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 148
“I’m sorry, but I need to step away for a moment.”
“Huh?”
“Oh, Jurim.”
Yoo Suyeon and Chairman Nam looked at him in surprise.
Leaving the voices of the two women behind, Jurim strode toward the woman with large steps.
“…!”
The woman’s eyes shook violently when she spotted Jurim.
“Sorry, but this involves my daughter too.”
Jurim suddenly grabbed her arm and moved toward the terrace.
“I don’t want to be rough with a valuable informant, so let’s make this easy.”
The soul manipulation informant, Chuen.
Due to her rare unique skill, she had escaped from her home country’s grasp that tried to use her power illegally and was currently operating in Korea’s underworld.
Her case was exactly why hunters don’t fully reveal all their skills.
“It would be a big problem if I rummaged through your head and broke it.”
The threat delivered in a calm voice was chilling.
Jurim crossed his arms and stared at Chuen.
“That dead person you mentioned, who is it?”
Chuen moistened her lips.
Ever since learning that what On Jurim was looking for was a soul, she had been avoiding On Jurim’s calls.
But to think they would meet here.
Chuen shook her head slightly.
“I don’t know either.”
Chuen quickly added before going against Jurim’s mood.
“It’s sealed with a gag order, so I can’t read it. The size of the yin doesn’t correspond to the yang ability. The remaining resentment is too great and beyond my ability range.”
Jurim raised his hand to stop Chuen’s words.
“Wait a minute. Could you speak a bit more simply?”
“…?”
Chuen said with a dumbfounded face.
“It’s impossible to speak any more simply than this.”
Jurim clicked his tongue briefly. It felt like facing a foreign shaman.
‘This is why foreigners….’
Two foreigners who were poor at Korean flashed through his mind.
And one kindergartener who was Korean but still hard to communicate with also briefly appeared.
After deliberately erasing his thoughts about the people around him.
“You mean your ability is insufficient to find out who it is, for now?”
“Yes.”
Unless there was ability amplification….
“I understand. But don’t ignore my calls anymore.”
Chuen nodded slightly.
On Jurim looked down at her and continued in a low voice.
“You can go now. Someone’s waiting for me.”
Hurriedly!
As Chuen quickly left her spot, the doll that had been hiding behind revealed itself.
“Father.”
On Suhyeong watched Chuen’s retreating figure with his eyes and let out a deep sigh.
“Such an attitude toward a lady.”
“She’s just a business partner.”
“I see…”
On Suhyeong replied with a deflated tone.
In fact, he had been sitting in a corner of the restaurant, secretly watching On Jurim. He was worried that the boy might cause some trouble.
But then the boy suddenly left his seat and took a woman outside.
‘I thought he had a woman he was interested in.’
When he followed them out, instead of romance, he was making threats.
“Please tell Chairman Nam that I have no intention of meeting women.”
The threatener spoke shamelessly.
“…Since you left like that, things should be quiet for a while.”
“That’s good news.”
When On Jurim smiled slightly, On Suhyeong moved closer to his side.
“Chairman Nam is probably worried too. Both he and I are old-fashioned people, so we think that if you’re unmarried, you should naturally start a family…”
On Jurim nodded as if he understood but didn’t bend his will.
“Well, family… I don’t really want to increase it. I think I’d get jealous if Han Gru liked his mom more than me.”
Even now, he was constantly anxious about losing his position as dad to the biological parents, so he had no intention of adding another competitor.
“It’s only recently that I started hearing him call me dad…”
On Jurim said curtly.
“Right now, I’m busy enough just keeping Han Gru’s grandfather in check.”
At this, On Suhyeong’s lips curved up slightly.
“Right, Han Gru will probably like the grandfather who buys him a house more than his incompetent father. That’s worth worrying about.”
“…?”
“Oh, right. I’ve been looking at some land this time. This too, in Han Gru’s name…”
“Stop trying to buy the child’s affection with money. He doesn’t understand it yet anyway.”
“When he gets a little older, he’ll naturally understand…”
On Suhyeong spoke wistfully, then suddenly asked.
“On Jurim, do you perhaps think the same way as Lee Jo?”
On Jurim burst into laughter at his hyung’s name.
His hyung had received quite a lot of pressure to accept introductions from early on.
However, Lee Jo maintained a solid wall of defense even while being dragged around by Chairman Nam.
“I’m waiting for a fateful encounter.”
He said he had to preserve his chastity for the woman he would meet someday.
“No. Well, it’s not quite to that extent…”
On Jurim smiled as he recalled Lee Jo acting like a virtuous scholar.
Hyung used to criticize him, saying he “met anyone without any feelings.” Then he’d ask what he’d do about the karma when he met true love…
Thump!
At that moment, his heart beat loudly.
“…Please.”
Why were hyung’s words suddenly echoing in his ears…
He said please.
‘…What?’
He hadn’t thought deeply about it until now.
He had just arbitrarily assumed it meant to take care of things afterward.
Creating the guild, quietly following the government agency’s requests.
He thought all of it was hyung’s request.
Because it seemed like that was what hyung wanted until the very end.
‘But.’
His head throbbed.
It was the moment On Jurim was massaging his temples.
A snowy field spread out before his eyes.
“…?!”
On Jurim turned around.
It was the Master of the 99th Floor who had opened the snowy field on his own.
Why?
The being that had seemed like just a natural phenomenon.
The Master of the 99th Floor opened his mouth toward On Jurim for the first time.
[Han Gru.]
* * *
Han Gru raised his head with cloudy eyes while gripping his bag strap tightly.
Wasn’t it said that boys of that age group fought as a matter of course?
“Did you think someone asked you to come?”
“Ha! If I knew you’d be like this, I wouldn’t have come!”
Han Gru looked up at Sergey and Gidan, who were continuing their fight inside the staff restroom.
‘Dad might be right…’
When dealing with the bad mister earlier, he thought their hearts might have connected for a moment.
But as soon as the mister left, they moved locations and continued the exact same fight as before.
“Do you think I can’t do anything without you?”
Han Gru clenched his fists.
“Then I guess you were doing just fine earlier!”
He wouldn’t just stand by and watch anymore.
“Hey! If you hadn’t interfered-!”
Han Gru won’t hold back!
“Stop it!”
Han Gru stepped between the two.
Han Gru, with his eyebrows raised as if very angry, looked back and forth between them.
“Stop fighting!”
Gidan and Sergey were momentarily speechless at the sight of his small shoulders heaving with anger.
As things calmed down for a moment, Han Gru, his face flushed red, first pointed his index finger at Gidan.
“Dan hyung, don’t tease Sergey hyung!”
“Me?!”
“Yeah! You shouldn’t tease friends. That’s bad!”
“…!”
Gidan’s mouth gaped open.
Han Gru, with his hands on his hips like a kindergarten teacher, spoke firmly.
“Say sorry, now.”
“…No, I’m.”
Han Gru tugged at Gidan’s sleeve.
“When Dan hyung teases him, Sergey hyung feels bad.”
Ah, Gidan let out a small sigh and rubbed his face.
Sergey narrowed his eyes at that sight.
“No, I don’t particularly want an apology-”
“…Sorry about that.”
“…”
Sergey grimaced.
‘He’s suddenly apologizing?’
The strange atmosphere that had formed made this moment almost unbearably awkward.
In Korea, they call this feeling cringeworthy, don’t they?
He felt an indescribable emotion, as if his insides were churning and melting away.
This time, Han Gru gently tugged at the sleeve of the silent Sergey.
“Han Gru and Dan hyung came because we were worried about Sergey hyung.”
Sergey, biting his lip slightly, replied curtly.
“There was no need for that.”
“Hyung, then… do you not like Han Gru and Dan hyung?”
Sergey burst out.
“That’s not it!”
“Strange. Han Gru goes to kindergarten…”
“I know. Do you think I’m stupid?”
“Teacher… you have to be honest with Dan. If you don’t say it, Dan won’t know.”
