083. Good is good
“There’s nothing that isn’t on the buffet.”
“That’s what all expensive buffets are like.”
As I walked around the buffet corner with Yoon Han-gyeol for a moment, the plates were quickly filled with food.
When you see the place fill up with people from other teams every now and then, you know the real party is about to begin.
I had a thought.
That thought only occurred to me for a moment.
As we walked back carrying our plates, I saw that our team’s table, unlike the other tables, had already emptied its bottle of champagne and was asking for a refill.
‘Ugh… …the smell of champagne.’
There were a few guys with red faces even before the party properly started, probably because they were drinking alcohol like water.
He looked like he was in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if he got drunk at any time.
As expected, Lee Yeon-ju, who was sitting across from me, opened her mouth when she saw me.
“Hey hey hey.”
Unlike usual, he didn’t seem timid or speak in a hushed voice.
A tone of speech that is as if one is talking to a gangster.
‘How much did you drink… … .’
For a moment, I was taken aback, but then I thought that it would be better to accept it to some extent rather than doing that to other people.
“What. Why.”
“You’re a minor. Why don’t you call me sister?”
He didn’t answer. He just snickered.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone tease me like this.
“Hey. Are you laughing? Are you laughing right now? Do you find it funny when I say that?”
It was amazing how, although I usually couldn’t speak properly, I could speak so fluently once I had a drink.
I can’t even speak properly when I don’t drink, and I’m so frustrated I don’t know how to live.
“If you’re drunk, don’t grab anyone and tease them. Go to sleep. Wash your face and sober up.”
“… … .”
What? It was a very ordinary thing to say, but Lee Yeon-ju’s reaction was strange.
“Anyone… … I didn’t catch it.”
Lee Yeon-ju blushed and spoke a little shyly, unlike the confident voice she had just received.
Is this how it came in?
Lee Yeon-ju is timid, but her looks aren’t all that bad… … Honestly, I’ve never seen her as a woman.
It was more like she was a troublesome younger sister.
So I thought it would be good to cut it off moderately.
Fortunately, a loud noise was heard from the side, breaking the flow.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
It was the sound of someone tapping a champagne bottle with a spoon next to me.
‘What is this… … .’
Kim Do-jun was already lying on the table, knocking over the champagne bottle. Was that all?
I was out of my mind, talking to a painting on a champagne bottle.
“Father, what should I do now? The team is going to the second division, but maybe Chang-Hyeon will abandon me.”
“… … ?”
What the heck is this?
“I’m useless in the game, and I always get cursed at on the internet for doing stupid things.
“What if Chang-Hyeon thinks that way too? I worked hard. I worked hard, but… … .”
It looks like he’s drunk.
He usually just seemed like a guy who thoughtlessly threw himself into things, but did he really think like that?
“The team doesn’t necessarily need me. Even if I don’t do well, Hangyeol and Changhyun will do everything anyway… … .”
Seeing him acting so gloomy, I wanted to say something, but on the other hand, I didn’t know what he would say this time, so I waited.
“Huh… … Okay. What good does it do if I do something? Even if I say I’ll go help, none of my teammates will call me.”
This seems to have been a story from before the elevator.
At that moment, I thought it would be nice to capture this, so I turned on the camera to record a video.
This photo shoot will serve as a reminder of Lee Yeon-ju and Kim Do-jun’s dark history.
Yoon Han-gyeol looked like he was going to say something when he saw me taking the picture, but when I made a shh pose to tell him to be quiet, he started laughing too.
The odds on the other side were not normal.
“Neg… … Now I’m not even a 3rd division player, I’m a 2nd division player. This is it. Huh? Now. I can earn some money. Like a human. Huh? So now. I’m a 2nd division player?”
This is it… … There was no broken radio.
Saying the same thing again. After a while, saying it again. And then cutting it off.
‘But even so, he’s a hunter. Even if he drinks all at once, does he get this drunk?’
At that moment, I saw Lee Geun-taek and Lee Min-seok walking in together from one side.
Lee Geun-taek must have felt that I was looking at him because he gave me a frivolous smile, which was uncharacteristic of a chairman, and gave me a nod.
‘if……?’
I wondered if the alcohol on our table was something special, so I grabbed the already empty bottle and took a look, and sure enough, it was not.
It boasted an incredible alcohol content, masked by the fragrant scent of champagne.
No… …Why on earth is this on our table? Maybe it’s a gift from Lee Geun-taek, so we can drink and enjoy it.
Didn’t you know I was a minor?
‘Ha. You came all the way here and only did good things for others.’
It was at that moment that I was thinking that way.
I heard a voice calling from behind the chair I was sitting in.

“Are you okay for a moment?”
***
The Hunter’s Day is about having fun with teammates, but naturally, the hottest topic is the interaction with other teams.
It is a good opportunity to approach players you don’t normally see, are curious about, or want to become close to.
“Are you okay for a moment?”
When I looked back, there was an unexpected person.
‘Ryu Jae-jun and Jo Yeon-hwa?’
I thought that Jo Yeon-hwa would come to visit me someday.
By the way, I thought Ryu Jae-jun would come. Do you two know each other?
But I also started to feel a little playful because my teammates were drunk.
“Do you have anything to say?”
I asked back, even though I knew it was for the purpose of socializing.
Jo Yeon-hwa turned her head to Ryu Jae-jun, perhaps feeling a little awkward answering because of what happened last time.
“That… … What is it? We played together in the 3rd division during the same season. So, what? We talked about the game and stuff.”
Although Ryu Jae-jun was usually a man who did not show his expression, it was obvious that he was feeling a little embarrassed.
‘You covered your face even at this time.’
Ryu Jae-jun, who looks cool and whose facial expressions usually don’t change much.
But later I found out that it was actually because I was shy rather than that.
Seriously, it didn’t really suit his cool and cold appearance.
So, before I returned, I used to tease him a lot.
This is practically our first meeting, but I can’t stand it.
“But now I’m in the second division?”
I looked at Ryu Jae-jun with a serious expression.
Ryu Jae-jun’s face turned red, as if he was dumbfounded.
Yeah. I felt really happy every time I saw that expression. But I guess it’s time to stop now.
We’re not as close as we were before we returned, so if I tease him too much, he might just end up hating me.
‘Well… I think I’ve already started to dislike it a little.’
That guy likes all the talented people, so it’ll be okay.
With that thought in mind, I hastily gathered my words.
“I’m joking. We even touched hands in Part 3, so it’s nice that you came to see me.”
Come to think of it, I feel like something similar happened a while ago.
After winning the match against Ryu Jae-jun, did you mention Ryu Se-jun on purpose in the interview?
Here I was about to say Ryu Se-jun again.
I’ve teased him a lot already, so I thought it might be a bit too much to do it again, so I just said it properly.
“Player Ryu Jae-jun. Player Jo Yeon-hwa. Nice to meet you.”
“Yeah… … Nice to meet you.”
Still, I was inwardly chuckling at Ryu Jae-jun’s accent, which already sounded sharp.
How can people not make fun of this?
“I saw you last time too. Nice to meet you.”
Jo Yeon-hwa, who was standing next to Ryu Jae-jun, spoke first.
“Are you two a group?”
“Ah, we are fellow students who learned under the same hunter.”
‘Wow… … So you both studied together under Lee Geun-taek?’
Since Jo Jun-ho was also a first-generation hunter, the two of them may have taught these two together.
“I heard you got promoted to the second division. It seems like it wasn’t a complete sham. Congratulations.”
Since there was still some time left until the awards ceremony, we chatted naturally as we walked toward the garden.
“Well, the promotion match is just a stepping stone. It’s a process you go through.”
“I think so too. At least it starts from Part 1.”
Even though we broke up on bad terms, Jo Yeon-hwa seemed to have forgotten everything and treated me normally.
Maybe there was a change of heart, or maybe he realized something about what I said. Something like that.
“Oh, and about what happened last time. Now that I think about it, I think I said something a little harsh. I’m sorry, and I hope you don’t take it too seriously.”
“That was true.”
Jo Yeon-hwa seemed a little shaken, as if she hadn’t expected him to respond like this.
“… … What. This is a gift from Secretary General Cho Jun-ho. It’s a promotion to the second division, and a small apology for what happened last time.”
“I will gratefully accept it.”
If they’re giving it to me, there’s no reason not to accept it, no matter what the gift is.
There was silence for a while after that. It seemed like he was trying to choose what to say.
“… … The reason I got angry last time was because the ones who taught Jaejun and me were Hunter Jo Junho and Hunter Lee Geuntaek.
Because I thought you were insulting them. But then I thought about it, you probably had no idea who taught us.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”
“Well, it’s true that I’ve been a bit sluggish lately. So I guess I’m angry because I’ve been subjected to factual violence.”
Jo Yeon-hwa spoke refreshingly, as if shaking off her regrets.
“I’m telling you everything now. If you have anything to be upset about, tell me.
By the way, I saw that Ryu Jae-jun got beat up in the last game. Do you want to try it too?”
“Well… … .”
He’s good at it, but Ryu Jae-jun is someone I’ve known really well since before his return. It was bound to be easy to respond to him.
But I can’t say that it was easy to deal with him because he was a guy I really knew well…
“What is that?”
“Well, I think I’m the best hunter in Korea, so I can’t fall in the third part.”
“Kik, kik. Are you serious? You’re not saying that because you once defeated Chairman Lee Geun-taek on that audition program, are you?
I learned from him, so I know, what you saw is the real Chairman’s true worth. He’s a tough guy.”
Jo Yeon-hwa was smiling, as if she didn’t feel bad while talking about hitting a goal.
That was for a moment. He asked with a serious expression.
“So, who taught you to become the best hunter in Korea?”
‘Ah… … Is this what you thought of it?’
It seemed like Jo Yeon-hwa had misunderstood.
I guess you thought you were learning from a great hunter after seeing the advice I gave you last time and the ridiculous speed at which you were improving.
If you think about it, that was natural. For Jo Yeon-hwa, who was trained as an elite hunter, that would have been a natural flow of thought.
Then, in fact, the reason Jo Yeon-hwa came was to ask this… …
I couldn’t help but ponder for a moment what to say in response.
I was quite suspicious, and I must have looked into some of my matches, but it seemed hard to believe that I had developed them on my own.
‘How can I show enough charm to attract Jo Yeon-hwa to the team without making her suspicious?’
I hesitated for a moment. It didn’t take long to find the answer.
“How much do you know about the Hunter’s awakening abilities?”
“Well, at least I know as much as other people.”
“Then… would you believe that I have the ability to simulate tens of thousands of possible futures based on my choices and embody them into my experiences?”
Jo Yeon-hwa’s mouth fell open.
Of course I’m joking.
