Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 79

“Hugs you? Keeps calling you pretty? Doesn’t she like you?”

“What?!”

Manager Hyung looked at Wuju, who had turned red as a tomato, and smiled mischievously.

“So now you two are going to date?”

“N-n-no! We’re not even 7 years old yet! Don’t you know about boys and girls being separated at seven?”

“Is that what that means? You really need to stop watching historical dramas.”

Hmph, does he think I don’t know?

Boys and girls being separated at seven meant that before age 7, boys and girls couldn’t be in a romantic relationship (holding hands or kissing while dating).

*Boys and girls separated at seven: An expression meaning that once children turn 7, boys and girls should not sit together, referring to the strict separation of genders

So that means we have to wait until we’re 7 to officially date.

Han Gru likes me. Wuju buried his back into the sofa while hiding his excited feelings.

Wuju, who had been sneaking glances at Han Gru checking something on her mobile phone, mentioned something that just came to mind.

“Oh, the Director asked me to ask if you’re interested in filming.”

“Han Gru?”

“Yeah. He said your mask is good.”

“Mask?”

“It means pretty.”

“Ah…”

Han Gru lifted the corners of her lips as On Jurim had taught her.

“Han Gru knows too.”

“…?”

Wuju was momentarily stunned by Han Gru’s groundless confidence.

She is pretty, that’s true. But not being shy about it was a surprising reaction. He had been subtly aware of it, but Han Gru, you’re quite shameless.

Suddenly remembering that he was the only one who got shy at being called pretty, Wuju said curtly.

“…Your acting is terrible though.”

Clang-!

Han Gru’s mouth fell open at the harsh criticism.

Feeling a bit guilty at her quite disappointed reaction, Wuju continued.

“Well, if you follow directions well, the bad acting doesn’t show much. Anyway, let me know if you’re interested. I’ll give you the contact info. The Director’s variety shows are really famous too. You could contact him first and maybe appear on a variety show with that Hunter Sister who came that time…”

Wuju, who had been rambling on by himself, stretched his neck out.

Han Gru was half-listening to what he was saying while concentrating on her mobile phone.

“What are you doing?”

“This?”

Han Gru held up her mobile phone to show him.

He could see text that said “Onion Market” at the top. It was a familiar interface to Wuju as well.

“This! Manager Hyung is totally obsessed with it. Are you selling something too?”

“Mm, no. Gru is going to make a request. If you go in there, hunters take requests too.”

“What kind of request?”

“To find Mom and Dad.”

What?! Wuju’s mouth fell open and he froze.

Woojoo’s mouth opened and closed like a fish.

Was this okay? There must be a reason why Gru went to the orphanage… It probably wasn’t a good reason, right?

Woojoo has met countless child actors while filming dramas and knows the illusion of biological parents.

Naturally, he didn’t have positive thoughts about Gru’s biological parents either.

“But, what about the Hyeonag Guild Master? Weren’t you adopted by him?”

Wuju recalled that handsome guild master he had just met.

Wooju thought of the handsome guild leader he had just met.

On Jurim, who had been sleeping in the boss chair in the Guild Leader’s Office wearing an eye mask, immediately took off his eye mask and jumped up as soon as Gru said he was going to play with Wuju.

Ju-rim, who had been sleeping in the boss’s chair in the guild leader’s office wearing an eye mask, immediately took off the eye mask and jumped up as soon as Gru said he was going to hang out with Woo-ju.

“Who?”

“Space?”

“Age.”

Jurim looked Wooju and the manager up and down with strangely suspicious eyes, sizing them up like potential marks.

“5 years old.”

“Age.”

“Religion.”

“I’m 5 years old.”

“None.”

“Religion is.”

“Occupation.”

“I don’t have any.” or “There isn’t any.”

“By any chance, don’t you have a television at home, mister?”

“What’s your job?”

At this point, the manager was silently shocked, but On Jurim remained calm. Or rather, was that a favorable assessment?

“…Not the worst.”

“Pardon?”

“Are you this friend’s father?”

“I’m, I’m his manager.”

“Ah.”

Only then did his cold expression soften a little.

“I’m Onju-rim.”

“Please keep an eye on them while they play. This kid is a troublemaker. I don’t know what he’ll do if left alone.”

“Yes! I know, I know well! It’s an honor to meet you like this, Guild Master On.”

“Yes, of course. I’ll protect him with my life.”

He lightly shook hands with the manager who extended both hands and said.

When Manager Hyung started squirming and trying to get an autograph, Wuju pulled him away. How embarrassing, trying to get an autograph from Gru’s father.

“Yes, of course. I’ll protect it with my life.”

When his manager hyung started twisting his body around trying to get an autograph, Woojoo pulled him away. How embarrassing, trying to get an autograph from someone who could be his father.

‘…I thought so? Isn’t he your father?’

Come to think of it, he did call him Guild Master instead of dad.

“Guild Leader is just taking care of me. Gru is a hunter and from Hyeonak.”

Wuju was quite mature for his age, but when faced with such complex and subtle relationships, he didn’t know what to say.

“I, is that so?”

“Yeah.”

“Then it would be nice if we lived together at our house….”

Wuju spoke in a small murmur.

“At Wuju’s house?”

When Gru stared at him intently, Wuju spoke gruffly for no reason.

“Then I wouldn’t have to go pick you up like today! I could buy you everything you want to eat and want to have too!”

“It’s okay. Gru can find mom and dad.”

“How? Will the hunters there help you find them?”

“Yeah, look here, there are tons of people who say they’ll help find them. They say they can find everyone.”

“Can you really trust this kind of thing?”

“Yeah. Look at this here. You can tell if you can trust them with this thing that looks like this, if the temperature is warm then you can trust them.”

“It’s a mercury thermometer. I used one when filming a period drama.”

“Ooh. Wuju is smart.”

Wuju cleared his throat softly and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s nothing special.”

“Ta-da, look look. Gru is warm temperature too. This part is red, right?”

There were comments hanging all over it shouting for him to come back. What was he selling to be so popular?

“IAMGROOT123?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s 123? Don’t people usually use their birthday?”

“123 is Gru’s birthday too.”

“January 23rd? December 3rd?”

“December 3rd.”

Wuju opened his mobile phone’s schedule app and wrote down Gru’s birthday.

“What about Wuju?”

“Mine is February 11th.”

“I see.”

“…Aren’t you going to write it down?”

“Nah, it’s okay if I don’t write it down. Gru won’t forget. February 11th.”

“Well… then that’s fine. You really can’t forget.”

“I know.”

Wuju nodded his head.

When Gru scrolled down the screen, Wuju showed interest.

“This person is bright red. Right.”

“That’s right. It says to inquire? Are you going to try talking to them?”

“Yeah.”

Gru opened a private message window.

[IAMGROOT123: Hello.]

[Card Payment Cherry: hey hey]

[Card Payment Cherry: what’s up jjapso?]

[IAMGROOT123: What’s that?]

[Card Payment Cherry: looks like a fake lol]

[IAMGROOT123: I want to find someone. Can you do it?]

[Card Payment Cherry: yes yes yes]

[Card Payment Cherry: but it’s kinda expensive, is that ok?]

[IAMGROOT123: How much?]

[Card Payment Cherry: lol straight to the price?]

[Card Payment Cherry: jjapjjap, how much can you pay?]

[Card Payment Cherry: please make the first offer lol]

Police station officer Shin Inyoung put down the paper cup of coffee he was drinking on the table as he watched a child struggling to open the door and come in.

The child who had been stamping their feet approached him with steps that seemed like they would make a popping sound.

“Police officer mister! Please help me.”

The child with platinum hair close to beige was noticeably pretty and cute, making him smile.

“What can I help you with?”

He asked while looking behind the child, but no parents followed.

“Are you alone?”

“Yes…”

Gru fidgeted with both hands while hanging his head low.

“I want to report a bad person.”

“Huh? Report?”

Could it be domestic violence or something? His attitude immediately became serious.

“Can you tell me in detail? What happened?”

He seated the child and sat across from him.

The child nodded his head vigorously.

“You came to report a bad person? What did that person do to you?”

“Yes, Gru did. I made a transaction on Onion but got scammed with something called eat-and-run.”

Ah, so that’s what it was? Shin Inyoung let out a chuckle.

It seemed like he got scammed with gift cards or something. Kids these days often came to report such incidents. Though this was the youngest among them.

“Oh my, I see. What a bad scammer.”

“Hiiing…”

Large eyes filled with tears looked pitiful.

He looked so heartbreaking that even a hundred-year snow would melt from the aching heart.

Oh my. The world really is a harsh place. To think someone would steal money from a little kid like this.

Shin Inyoung wiped the child’s eyes with both hands.

“Uncle will scold them for you. So don’t cry. Aww, how heartbreaking. There, there, okay? How much money did the scammer steal from our little one? Five thousand won?”

Being this cute, if it was around five thousand won, he could just give him the money to comfort him and send him on his way.

“Tw…”

Han Gru sniffled pitifully and cut off his words.

Shin Inyoung asked back.

“2…?”

“Tw…”

Han Gru swallowed once.

“Tw, tw, tw… Twenty millioooooon woooon…”
