Chapter 92

“Strawberries have a certain probability of awakening people from comas.”

Han Tae-ho showed a considerably surprised expression.

“I heard that strawberries have the effect of melting frostbite. Did they have that effect too?”

“Yes. That’s what happened.”

“Then what are we doing! We need to hurry and take the strawberries to see the Association Chairman!”

“There’s a bit of a problem with that.”

Hana furrowed his brow. Then he awkwardly pointed to the strawberry patch.

“As you can see, there are no ripe strawberries right now. We have to wait for them to grow.”

“Ah… I see.”

Han Tae-ho crumpled his body again and crouched down dejectedly.

“I heard you gave all the strawberries to the Taesan Guild members who had frostbite. It seems there weren’t many strawberries.”

“No, there were plenty, but someone trampled them all.”

At Hana’s words, the ears of the Snow Rabbits who were huddled together playing behind them twitched.

The Snow Rabbits who glanced at Hana slowly covered their heads with their front paws.

Apparently, the memory of causing trouble and getting thoroughly scolded remained very vivid in their minds.

“Anyway, I’ll try to find a way to grow strawberries as quickly as possible.”

Hana spoke as if making a vow, showing his determination by clenching his fist with sparkling eyes.

* * *

After finishing their small tea time inside the Gate and coming outside, night had already fallen deep.

But the people still didn’t seem to have any intention of going home.

Especially Han Tae-ho had recovered from his dejected state and was burning with passion for strawberry farming.

“I’ll visit every farm there is and make them give up their secrets for growing strawberries quickly.”

“No, you don’t need to do that.”

“If they won’t give up their secrets, I’ll steal them.”

“No, don’t do that!”

Hey, Mr. Han Tae-ho. That’s a crime!

Hana seriously tried to stop him. Otherwise, Han Tae-ho seemed like he would actually carry it out.

“Rather than that, could you get me some good plant nutrients for strawberries?”

“If it’s something like that, just leave it to me. I’ll search through every flower farm and get you the highest quality ones.”

Hana, who had somehow managed to persuade Han Tae-ho well, laughed heartily.

He persuaded him well… right?

“Now, now, let’s talk about the rest later. Everyone should go home now.”

Hana waved his hands dismissively.

Just when it seemed like everyone was finally leaving, Choi Kwon stopped mid-departure and spoke to him again.

“But benefactor. I’m curious about something – were those Muscle Rabbits in the Gate that docile even before it was cleared?”

“Oh, no way. They were running around like crazy rabbits, even causing avalanches. I was so surprised when I encountered them.”

“Wow, but how did you deal with them? Looking at their muscles, it seems like you wouldn’t stand a chance against them in direct combat?”

Hana grinned at Choi Kwon’s words.

“I have one good weapon.”

“Huh, production types have weapons too? What. A trowel?”

Oh my. Look at this. This Hunter is looking down on production types?

Hana put his hand on his hip.

“It’s not a trowel, it’s a gun.”

“A gun?”

At that moment.

Kang Hyeon’s body, who was standing behind Hana, flinched greatly.

And Kang Hyeon’s voice came from above Hana’s head.

“Yun Hana’s weapon is… a gun?”

Hana tilted his head slightly following Kang Hyeon’s voice. Then he could see Kang Hyeon’s face upside down.

“Yes. It’s… a toy gun though. Seo Ganghyeon, you’ve seen it once before, haven’t you?”

Hana made a gesture of shooting a water gun with his hand.

Then Kang Hyeon muttered.

“Right. I did see it. But why didn’t I think much of it back then.”

“Huh? What didn’t you think much of?”

Just as Hana was asking back at Kang Hyeon’s incomprehensible words, Choi Kwon burst out laughing.

“Ah what. It’s a toy gun? That figures. There’s no way a production type would have a proper weapon.”

Damn.

Hana’s face became sulky at Choi Kwon’s dismissal.

“Anyway, I get it, benefactor. I’m leaving too.”

“Yes, yes. Hurry up and get lost.”

When even Choi Kwon, who was the last one remaining, finally left, Hana yawned long.

“Seo Ganghyeon, let’s hurry and go rest too.”

Just as Hana was about to take a step, a loud rumbling sound echoed from his stomach.

“Ah!”

Hana belatedly tried to cover his stomach with his hands, but another loud rumble came out.

At the sound that seemed like he hadn’t eaten for three days, both of Hana’s cheeks turned bright red.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t eat dinner properly.’

Embarrassed, Hana laughed loudly for no reason and quickly passed by Kang Hyeon.

“I’m a bit hungry, should we stop by a convenience store?”

But then, Kang Hyeon called out to Hana from behind.

“Senior.”

Even though the way he addressed him was different from usual, Hana unconsciously turned around.

“Yes?”

Hana answered unconsciously, then covered his mouth with his hand as if to block it.

‘Oh no, I did it without thinking.’

But his panic was only momentary.

When he thought about it, there was no need to cover his mouth.

Soon Hana’s shoulders straightened confidently.

So what. If it weren’t for the system restrictions, he would have asked openly long ago anyway.

He thought it was actually good timing.

He hoped that Seo Ganghyeon might give him some clue that could lead to his lost memories.

Step.

Then, Seo Ganghyeon took a step closer.

The shadow cast under the streetlight stretched long, making his already tall, lanky frame look even taller.

“Why did you respond to me calling you senior just now?”

“-.”

Hana opened his mouth.

He tried to speak. Definitely.

But with the familiar notification sound, a system window flashed before his eyes.

【SYSTEM】

【Direct mention to those connected with ‘Fragment of Lost Memory’ is impossible.】

‘Ah, seriously.’

Hana squeezed his eyes shut and opened them.

He sighed involuntarily from frustration.

Seeing that reaction, Seo Ganghyeon’s eyes narrowed subtly.

“You won’t say anything?”

“It’s not that I won’t, it’s that I can’t.”

Hana pouted as he retorted.

Then Hana suddenly looked up at Kang Hyeon in front of him.

His large build suddenly caught my eye.

Come to think of it, the man who was shedding tears in the memory that Jjak-jjak-i first showed me as a preview seemed to be about this size too.

Hana narrowed his eyes.

‘Let me think. Surely not…?’

The possibility that the man who might be desperately waiting for me could be Seo Ganghyeon…? Just as his thoughts were reaching that point.

Hana shook his head in shock.

No way, that gentle and delicate-looking person couldn’t be Seo Ganghyeon.

‘Right, how does that face look gentle in any way.’

Hana glanced at Seo Ganghyeon’s face.

From his fiercely upturned eyes, to his incomparably cold expression, to his red lips pressed firmly in a straight line.

This side was more decadent sexy than gentle.

Besides, looking at Seo Ganghyeon’s magnificent house, there was no reason for him to semi-threaten(?) me to take responsibility like the man in the memory.

‘It can’t be…right?’

Nevertheless, an uneasy feeling remained somewhere.

They say “what if” can be the death of you.

The lengthening silence was the same for Kang Hyeon’s side too.

Kang Hyeon’s gaze deepened.

Like someone who wanted to confirm something right now.

“…”

The air grew subtly tense.

But without any awareness, Hana’s stomach rumbled softly again from inside.

Worried that his stomach clock might thunder again, Hana reflexively clutched his stomach and hunched his upper body.

Then Seo Ganghyeon’s expression changed instantly.

The sharp look from just moments ago disappeared completely, and Kang Hyeon hurriedly bent down to match Hana’s eye level.

“Mr. Yun Hana? What’s wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?”

“No, it’s just…”

“Tell me. I’m listening.”

As Seo Ganghyeon’s face grew increasingly serious, Hana slightly raised his head.

“…I’m really so hungry, couldn’t we talk while eating something?”

As if he had been about to pick up Hana and rush to the hospital immediately, Kang Hyeon’s hand suspended in mid-air twitched.

Kang Hyeon’s black eyebrows twitched, and soon a deflated response flowed from him.

“Let’s do that…”

* * *

“Mmm. Now I feel like I’m alive again. Mr. Seo Ganghyeon, you should eat some too.”

Holding out an unwrapped hot bar, Hana nodded with a satisfied expression.

Kang Hyeon looked once at the hot bar thrust toward him, then once at Hana who was offering it, alternating between them.

Then he frowned.

“Ah. If you frown, you’ll get wrinkles.”

Hana smiled cheekily and put down the hot bar, then tapped Kang Hyeon’s brow with his fingertip, tap, tap.

Again.

Another habit just like his senior.

That made Kang Hyeon even more confused.

Though Yun Hana himself seemed to have no thoughts about it.
