Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 159

 

“It’s fun watching the dads sweat bullets.”

 

For Cheon Gyuri, who had no children, it was just an entertaining scene.

 

At his teasing tone, Gu Shinhu, who had seemed to be praying, burst out angrily and rambled.

 

“Sweat bullets? Guild Master Cheon, our Huiyeon got a perfect score on her mock interview. She speaks so clearly and well.”

 

Cheon Gyuri shrugged his shoulders, and Gu Shinhu continued while glancing at Jurim.

 

“Guild Master On might be worried though. Your daughter is only 5 years old, right? I heard early admission is difficult.”

 

At Gu Shinhu’s provocation, Jurim snorted and replied briefly.

 

“Our kid is a prodigy.”

 

Cheon Gyuri snickered as he watched Jurim constantly tapping his knee with his finger and Gu Shinhu’s legs trembling.

 

‘Both of them acting tough.’

 

Cheon Gyuri smiled mischievously.

 

“Then how about you both put your phones here?”

 

“What for?”

 

Gu Shinhu gripped his phone tightly, and Jurim raised his eyebrows.

 

“How about we bet on whose daughter calls first? They’ll contact you as soon as they pass, right?”

 

The implication was that if they passed, the call would come quickly, but if they failed, the call would be delayed.

 

Jurim narrowed his eyes with displeasure.

 

“Why would we do that?”

 

However, Cheon Gyuri, thinking this was a chance to mess with Jurim, tapped the table.

 

He almost had to hold a press conference because of a promise made in the RP Dungeon. The resentment from that was still lingering.

 

“What’s the harm? It’ll be fun. We still have time before the interview anyway.”

 

Cheon Gyuri grinned broadly.

 

His true feelings were obvious – since it wasn’t his business, it was just entertaining.

 

Then, Gu Shinhu was the first to place his phone on the table.

 

Thud.

 

“I am curious. Whether Guild Master On’s prodigy daughter will call first, or our Huiyeon will.”

 

“That’s Huiyeon’s dad for you. How about it? Gru’s dad, you’re not backing down, are you?”

 

Gu Shinhu and Cheon Gyuri both looked at Jurim simultaneously.

 

“…”

 

Eventually, Jurim placed his phone on the table with a reluctant expression.

 

Thud.

 

The two phones were placed side by side.

 

The three men’s tense gazes passed over each other before focusing on the motionless phones.

 

In this more nerve-wracking moment than ever, Gu Shinhu clasped his hands together desperately.

 

‘Please, let me win just this once.’

 

‘Huiyeon, you can do it.’

 

‘You’ll call daddy first, right?’

 

Just as one minute felt like an hour had passed.

 

Buzz-

 

A vibration rang from one of the mobile phones.

 

“…!”

 

Simultaneously, all three people’s gazes focused on the table.

 

Only one phone had received a call.

 

On Jurim slowly picked up his mobile phone. He twisted his lips into a smirk and said.

 

“Looks like Huiyeon is running a bit late.”

 

“Ah…!”

 

Gu Shinhu lifted his mobile phone with trembling hands.

 

“Huiyeon!”

 

On Jurim pretended to be calm as he stepped outside the waiting room, then quickly pressed the call button.

 

At the same time, Han Gru’s voice came through the video call.

 

– Daddy daddy daddy daddyyy!

 

On Jurim felt relieved rather than overwhelmed by Han Gru’s excited voice and asked back.

 

“Did it go well?”

 

– Yes! I passed! Wuju and Ser oppa all passed too!

 

Han Gru screamed and jumped up and down.

 

After disappearing from the screen and then showing her face again, Han Gru’s face was flushed red.

 

– We’re going to have a party to celebrate passing together! And also!

 

“You’re going to run out of breath.”

 

On Jurim chuckled softly and caressed the screen where Han Gru’s cheek was with his thumb. What he was touching wasn’t her warm, soft cheek that had heated up, but just the cold screen.

 

He couldn’t let go of the longing, as if he could touch her if he rubbed the screen a few more times.

 

He wanted to praise her for doing well and hug her, when Han Gru said.

 

– Daddy, come quickly too! I’ll wait for you!

 

“Yes, I’ll come quickly.”

 

When Han Gru earnestly asked him to buy some Long-Named Candy too, On Jurim answered several times that he understood.

 

After the paparazzi photos, even advertisement requests had come in, but no matter how many times he heard that long name, he couldn’t memorize it.

 

Just then, a staff member came running to the front of the waiting room.

 

The staff member confirmed that On Jurim was on a video call and gestured that he needed to leave now.

 

On Jurim nodded.

 

“I have to hang up now. I’ll call you again after work.”

 

Han Gru nodded vigorously, as if her excitement still hadn’t subsided.

 

Could she really be that happy?

 

When On Jurim hesitated, unable to bring himself to hang up, Han Gru brought her face close to the phone camera and whispered.

 

– Daddy, I love you.

 

The child’s loveliness always made him smile.

 

On Jurim now gave the answer he hadn’t been able to return once before.

 

“I love you too.”

 

Han Gru smiled brightly.

 

* * *

 

The man dragging his suitcase through the airport terminal suddenly stopped walking.

 

On Jurim’s face was showing on the TV where people had gathered in small groups.

 

【No, guild leaders rarely have personal meetings with each other. When we gather? Well, we sometimes make bets. Though they’re trivial…】

 

【Hey, why are you talking about that here-!】

 

【Ahahaha!】

 

The camera captured Gu Shinhu getting furious, Cheon Gyuri bursting into laughter, and Jurim with a shameless expression.

 

The man couldn’t take his eyes off the screen for a while, then turned around again and headed for the exit.

 

The taxi driver would be waiting, so he couldn’t afford to dawdle any longer.

 

He adjusted the collar of his coat that reached down to his ankles.

 

Korea was still in winter, so he had hurriedly brought a coat. The thin cashmere couldn’t completely block out the cold.

 

After checking the license plate of the taxi he had arranged in advance and getting in, the taxi driver bowed politely and greeted him.

 

“Mister Han?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Let me see~ Your destination is Sangsin-ro 61-7 in Bundang, right? Bun-dang.”

 

Han smiled as the driver pronounced each syllable clearly, worried that his foreign passenger might not understand.

 

“Yes, that’s correct. Please take me there.”

 

The taxi driver, flustered by the pretty dimples visible beneath the sunglasses, said awkwardly.

 

“Oh, you speak Korean very well.”

 

“Do I? It’s been a while since I used Korean, so I thought it would be really awkward.”

 

“No way~ You sound just like a native speaker~”

 

He smiled again.

 

“You’re a very pretty man. I can tell even with the sunglasses covering everything. Just the kind of face kids these days would love. But what brings you to Bundang?”

 

“Ah… A friend died, so I’m going to pay my respects.”

 

“Oh my, I see. That’s the Memorial Park there… I was thoughtless to ask something like that.”

 

“It’s fine.”

 

“So will you go straight back to your home country after taking care of business?”

 

“No. I’m planning to stay in Korea. I got a position here, and I have other things to do.”

 

“Good thinking. Korea is a very safe and good country.”

 

While the taxi driver went on at length praising Korea and recommending places to visit, Han looked out the window and responded occasionally.

 

Eventually, the taxi that had been driving steadily stopped in front of the Memorial Park.

 

Han bought a white chrysanthemum bouquet at the entrance and walked through the cemetery without hesitation.

 

Soon he stopped at one spot and looked at a burial mound that seemed recently made.

 

On the simple tombstone, instead of a name, there was a sentence written in Kirus script.

 

[May you find a way to love in God’s embrace…]

 

As he lowered his sunglasses, coral-colored eyes were revealed.

 

Within his irises, black pupils formed a triquetra.

 

“This seems to be the right place.”

 

In front of the tombstone, there was already a flower bouquet placed there, as if someone had visited before.

 

He placed a chrysanthemum bouquet in front of the tombstone.

 

With both hands tucked in his pockets, he quietly read the inscription on the tombstone.

 

In God’s embrace…

 

“Please take me with you.”

 

He suddenly thought of the bold girl from Kirus.

 

Kirus, where the children’s cries never ceased, was surely a country without God.

 

Even knowing that countless children had been sacrificed, the reason Han took the girl’s hand was because of that.

 

Drawn by that desire to bring down a country without God.

 

“Rest well there, Irina.”

 

As we wish, the Tower will be rebuilt.

 

Please watch over us from above.
