“Holy cow! Oppa, those reporters are nonetheless outside the constructing!”
Jin-Ah spoke while looking out of the window.
It was already past due inside the night. reporters who hadn’t given up but were nonetheless amassed around in the front of the rental’s entrance like a typhoon cloud.
“appearance!! Up there!”
After discovering the silhouette of a person through the window, they hurriedly operated their cameras, questioning that it become Jin-Woo.
click on, click, click on!!
Seeing all the ones camera flashes unexpectedly exploding from right here and there, Jin-Ah jumped up in fright and fast shuttered the curtains. She grew to become around and sighed softly like a timid little animal.
“Whew….”
Having back from the Hunter auction, Jin-Woo changed into contemplating taking a piece of a properly-deserved relaxation, however he was sporting a as an alternative stiff expression for the time being.
“need to i go downstairs and say something?”
It become best for those folks to disrupt his relaxation. however, he was more involved about them disrupting his sister’s research. Jin-Ah became a high faculty senior, approximately to take the maximum crucial check of her lifestyles.
Wasn’t this the time whilst some overly-sensitive youngsters would throw a tantrum just due to the faint footsteps outdoor their doorways disrupting their research?
‘well, Jin-Ah isn’t the kind to elevate a fuss over stuff like this, but….’
however, still – could she even be capable of concentrate with these types of distracting noises coming from the outdoor?
simply as Jin-Woo turned into getting organized to leap forward….
“Nonono, don’t do it.”
….Jin-Ah fast waved her arms about.
“Oppa, you’re already being slagged off inside the internet, you already know? So, can you consider what they’ll say in case you ward off the newshounds?”
“Slagged off?”
‘considering the fact that whilst did I do something worth of that remedy??’
As Jin-Woo tilted his head this way and that, Jin-Ah accessed one of the news articles on-line along with her smartphone and driven it ahead. So, he took it from her.
‘……’
at the screen, he could see the image of him status in front of the affiliation’s front, relaxedly answering his telephone at the same time as being surrounded via a sea of newshounds.
maybe because a expert snapped that shot, even a simple man like him came out searching quite excellent, so he was happy approximately that. but, while he took a look a bit decrease down….
‘His attitude sucks.’
‘He already doesn’t care approximately the journalists.’
‘He’s way too cool for himself.’
limitless remarks with similar nature had been published beneath the article, and the highest upvoted remark became ‘mom, I’ve emerge as a rank S!!’
due to the fact the photograph and the comment went so nicely along with each other, Jin-Woo ended up breaking out in a smile.
Jin-Ah in turn have become flabbergasted from his response.
“how are you going to smile from that?!”
“however, it’s far funny.”
“….”
whilst Jin-Woo showed her the top upvoted remark, Jin-Ah too almost broke out in laughter, but come what may controlled to suppress it. And, perhaps as a rebound….
“No, wait a minute! That’s no longer essential, is it?!”
With a slightly flushed face, Jin-Ah raised her voice.
“Why did you have to answer your telephone there?? I imply, there were such a lot of journalists present, you understand! thanks to you, each person now is aware of my call!”
Jin-Woo spoke back optimistically as if he couldn’t be fazed via anything.
“Do I really want to have a look at reporters and their moods when answering my little sister’s name?”
“Euk!!”
Jin-Ah became speechless. regardless of how difficult she concept approximately it, he wasn’t wrong, so she couldn’t with ease give you a appropriate rebuttal.
‘….I truely can’t win towards him in an argument.’
Jin-Woo handed the cellphone again to her.
“right here.”
Jin-Ah took the cellphone back with a barely testy face, and opened her mouth.
“anyhow, I’ll be great, so oppa, don’t mind the newshounds, okay?”
“okay. got it.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
If the contemporary state of affairs persisted, then he would possibly have accomplished something, but alternatively, the association did call him in advance to say that those newshounds must all acquire orders to stay far faraway from him in a day or two.
‘properly, i’m able to bear that.’
And there has been also Jin-Ah no longer looking to inflate the state of affairs any similarly, too.
“through the manner, simply what on the planet befell here?”
Jin-Ah looked at her brother with a pair of mystified eyes.
“My own oppa have become a rank S Hunter, and journalists are camping out of doors our house, too….”
a few stated that it’d be difficult to run into a rank S Hunter even as soon as on your entire lifestyles, yet there was one status right in the front of her. no longer most effective that, he turned into her older brother, no less.
quite a great deal every person could react the equal way in the event that they were in her footwear. Jin-Ah sounded as if she couldn’t pretty consider it.
Too terrible, she had no choice however to modify to the new reality faster rather than later.
‘much like how I had to.’
Jin-Woo smirked softly.
And, in order to soothe his sister and her still-greatly surprised heart, he lightly pinched Jin-Ah’s cheeks. Of route, she reacted inside the identical way as in the past by kicking him, however….
“Ouch!!”
She rather grabbed her foot and jumped up and down in ache.
“Heeiing~.”
Jin-Ah glared at him from the corners of her eyes as if this turned into just an excessive amount of, whilst Jin-Woo should most effective shrug his shoulders. It appeared that she’d need quite lots of time to get used to the truth that her oppa became now a rank S awakened.
“Oppa, I bet you’ll turn out to be loads busier now, right?”
Jin-Ah carefully asked him.
“Mm.”
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
There had been lots of factors he desired to do, and lots of work to get thru, too – however for now, clearing the Demon’s citadel took precedence. He even resorted to shopping for a flame-resistance shielding artefact for the only cause of conquering the higher floors, after all.
His own budget got here up ridiculously quick so his coronary heart almost fell to the pit of his stomach, however thankfully, he was able to use considered one of the shop’s rarity ‘A’ objects as collateral and were given a mortgage from the Hunter public sale.
‘I’m in debt as soon as becoming a rank S….’
For a few reason, a wry chuckle escaped from his lips.
nicely, so long as the objects from the shop will be sold off at excessive expenses in auctions, that debt could be wiped easy in an instantaneous, even though.
“in that case, it’d get tougher to see you, right?”
hearing that he might get plenty busier inside the future, Jin-Ah formed a slightly rueful expression. certainly, being by myself would be a lonesome task.
without pronouncing whatever, Jin-Woo located his hand on Jin-Ah’s head.
some days from now….
once he cleared the Demon’s citadel dungeon, there would in no way be another day while his sister could have to residence-sit down all by myself.
‘I’ll ensure that happens for actual.’
It changed into then.
Jin-Woo’s eyes narrowed to a slit. His gaze shifted closer to the front door.
‘someone’s coming this manner.’
Jin-Ah additionally noticed her brother’s stressful aura. She requested, sounding a little disturbing.
“Oppa?”
“live for your room for a chunk, k?”
“What’s the matter?”
A presence mountaineering out of the elevator was strolling instantly to here now.
‘It’s a Hunter….?’
The suspicious presence emitted a thin and weak magic power. Jin-Woo couldn’t feel any opposed intentions from this presence, however still, he didn’t experience like humouring an uninvited guest.
Did a Guild send someone over? Or, become it a foolhardy reporter setting an excessive amount of faith in his own wakened powers?
Didn’t count number which become which – Jin-Woo wasn’t a gracious enough character to just accept with a grin an uninvited guest looking to invade the privateness of his domestic, when the hour became already properly beyond ten inside the nighttime.
Jin-Woo stood before the door.
‘With that type of strength…’
He didn’t want to summon his guns. Jin-Woo gently loosened his muscles. He tilted his head left and proper, and his neck issued cracking noise.
And, as he anticipated….
Thud, thud.
a person ‘knocked’ at the door, causing Jin-Ah to run into her room in a chunk of surprise. Jin-Woo quietly opened the door.
Clang.
And from the slowly-widening hole of the door, a familiar face of a person might be visible. the man spoke.
“Hyunnng-nim….”
He turned into even sniffling, too.
Yu Jin-Ho and his reddened nostril had been standing in front of the door, sniffling like a little kid.
“…..”
Jin-Woo become so dumbstruck that he stood there in a complete daze, prompting Yu Jin-Ho to tearfully communicate up.
“Hyung-nim. I were given kicked out of the residence. Dad kicked me out.”
“…”
Now that Jin-Woo took any other look, there has been a backpack as large as Yu Jin-Ho slung on his lower back. He turned into even carrying quite numerous bags in each of his arms, too.
“…..Wait, didn’t you live by myself already?”
“well, that….”
Sniff.
“The villa i was living in turned into beneath father’s name, and he took it away. He even blocked all my financial institution bills.”
A father blocking off his son’s financial institution accounts. they all. What a movie-like scenario that become, but properly, this being the pinnacle businessman in South Korea, Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan, it sounded instead doable.
besides all that, even though – what did this kid do to get on his father’s horrific aspect like this?
while Jin-Woo stared with a couple of thinking gaze, Yu Jin-Ho spoke up, his voice trembling.
“So, like, i was questioning, hyung-nim. am i able to impose on you in the meanwhile?”
Creaaak….
Clank.
Jin-Woo quietly closed the door, or even proceeded to lock it.
click.
worried Jin-Ah were watching the state of affairs from her room, and as soon as Jin-Woo turned far from the door, she fast jogged next to him and requested.
“Oppa, who turned into that? Do you realize him?”
Jin-Woo shook his head.
“Nope. by no means met him earlier than.”
“You genuinely don’t know him? however, why did he come to our location, then?”
“Don’t fear about it. I’m positive he got the incorrect deal with.”
“…..truely?”
however, it sure didn’t seem like that, even though.
As Jin-Woo lightly but firmly pushed his nevertheless-suspicious little sister lower back into her room, Yu Jin-Ho’s sorrowful voice persisted to ring out at the back of him.
Thud, thud!!
“Hyuuung-niiim!! Hyung-niiiiim!!”
***
“expensive, don’t you believe you studied you had been being too harsh on Jin-Ho earlier these days?”
“Hmph.”
Yu Myung-Hwan kind of yanked at his tie.
What an insolent little infant.
He become about to be gifted with the Yujin Guild, which might absolute confidence end up the Yujin production’s center enterprise in the destiny, but he dared to reply like that?
[“I’ve decided to work for hyung-nim’s Guild.”]
What?
observe ‘hyung-nim’, was it?
“That idiot deserved it.”
Yu Myung-Han snorted derisively.
If the boy needed to face on his ft, then he should achieve this on his personal electricity, too.
the daddy concept that he’d train his son about every choice being accompanied via obligations and effects.
became it due to the fact he changed into some distance too agitated? For a few motive, it felt like his d*mn tie simply didn’t need to come back undone. His clumsy and hasty hands brought on the tie to be snarled even extra rather, prompting the girl of the Yu circle of relatives to reach out with her arms.
“permit me do it for you.”
soon enough, the tie turned into easily loosened. Yu Myung-Han entrusted himself to his spouse’s skilful palms.
however….
The spouse started guffawing even as preserving his tie.
“What’s the problem, pricey?”
Yu Myung-Han turned into harassed. She were doing his ties for as long as they were collectively. So, she shouldn’t have found his tousled tie all that humorous by now.
“My expensive. Are you sure you’re clearly irritated?”
“Mm….??”
Did she eat something incorrect? Why turned into she pronouncing something so nonsensical?
Yu Myung-Han tilted his head barely and took a have a look at his own mirrored image within the reflect.
‘What the….’
He was surprised by what he noticed.
Why did he appearance so thrilled in the mirrored image, even though his mouth was busy spewing out complaints simplest till a second ago?
Feeling embarrassed now, Yu Myung-Han started rubbing his cheeks and chin.
“these days became the primary time, wasn’t it, pricey?”
“What do you suggest?”
“Jin-Ho rebelling towards you.”
“….”
That turned into why he became irritated.
similar to how water flowed from the pinnacle to bottom, a large corporation could no longer be able to sustain its large self if the orders from the pinnacle didn’t get added to the relaxation. He believed it become the same tale for strolling a circle of relatives, as well.
That turned into why he maintained the precise equal kind of mindset he’d have whilst at paintings whilst he become domestic together with his family, and he did now not receive everybody going in opposition to his selections.
however….
despite the fact that he was feeling indignant today, why didn’t he sense horrific approximately it, both?
‘I’m angry, however not sad at the equal time?’
this case made no experience whilst he notion approximately it.
The madam spoke gently like a mother pacifying a baby, as if she had already study the whole lot in her husband’s mind.
“Jin-Ho is trying to do some thing he feels enthusiastic about for the primary time in his existence. So, how approximately cooling your anger a touch and cheering him on from the aspect?”
“…..”
Yu Myung-Han close his mouth tight.
He discovered it a piece tough to decipher his personal head in the mean time.
“in the interim… I shall preserve an eye fixed on him.”
“Of route.”
The madam shaped a sweet smile and obtained his jacket as he took it off. but, some thing befell then.
Yu Myung-Han stared at his wife’s face.
“however, that is pretty strange.”
“what’s ordinary, expensive?”
“i’m able to see of your faces.”
“Pardon?”
simply as the madam’s eyes widened, Yu Myung-Han misplaced his balance and staggered unsteadily.
“dear?!”
The fearful madam hurriedly attempted to aid Yu Myung-Han. He shook his head continuously, closely gasps escaping from his mouth.
“Pant, pant…..”
The madam’s eyes opened wider.
‘Why is there so much bloodless sweat?!’
Yu Myung-Han attempted to hold his eyes huge open to forcefully ward off the sudden feeling of sleepiness, however in the long run, misplaced his recognition.
***
Yu Myung-Han reopened his eyes in the VIP room positioned within the country’s top university health center.
one of the doctors in fee approached him to test up on Yu Myung-Han’s complexion. They were working in a 24-hour rotation schedule to preserve an eye fixed on his circumstance.
“are you able to hear me, Chairman?”
“….”
Yu Myung-Han took a brief look around him, and right away figured out where he was.
“How lengthy have I been here?”
“You’ve been snoozing for the closing two days.”
days?
The man or woman most possibly to be picked because the position model for “difficult working” might be Yu Myung-Han. He had by no means slept for more than 5 hours in a day in his complete life, no matter how worn-out he was.
“…..”
Yu Myung-Han resolutely stored his mouth close, before talking up as if it was nothing.
“I guess i was quite worn-out, then.”
He was indeed swarmed with various subjects that kept him insanely busy recently. The surprising bout of vertigo and that unshakeable sleepiness had been probably the aspect results.
however, the doctor couldn’t cover the seriousness from his expression.
Yu Myung-Han turned into the owner of the us of a’s top organisation that hired tens of lots of humans. So, he turned into already a grasp at analyzing human beings’s expressions.
Seeing the stiffening face of the health practitioner, Yu Myung-Han requested him.
“by using any danger…. have you ever found some thing incorrect with my body?”
