chapter 145
145 – Love and War (1)
“Welcome, Seyeon-ah.”
The promised date has arrived.
“It’s such an honor to have the Sephirot clan chief come to visit you in person.”
“Because I am not the clan leader. You said it last time I’m only in charge of clan affairs on behalf of my father for a while.”
A stranger came to the Clan House.
She is a woman in her early to mid-twenties.
She is wearing a neat blouse and a dark gray skirt.
The beautiful legs of both legs covered in thin, dark stockings were particularly striking. She reminded me of a young career woman or a talented boss.
“Even my sister knows. That your father is not feeling well.”
“Ah. Okay. You know By the way, are you still very sick? Are you feeling that bad?”
The man Jihyeon referred to as the ‘uncle’ was Jeong Jun-woo, the clan leader of the Sephiroth.
It was a proof of how special Jihyun’s position was in the Sephirot Clan, considering that he was calling a person who was no different from the chairman of a large company as an uncle.
“Because you are old…… It’s just a simple juxtaposition rail.”
Come to think of it, I remember hearing at first glance that Jung Jun-woo’s condition had deteriorated a lot recently and that he withdrew from the front lines.
For that reason, the current head of the Sephiroth is the same as Jeong Se-yeon over there.
He was nominally acting as a deputy head of the clan, but considering Jung Jun-woo’s age, it would be difficult for him to return.
“Should I just feel like a deputy clan leader?”
Jeong Se-yeon gently stepped out of her way.
The sound of footsteps echoed.
It’s a bit slow, but it’s surely approaching one step at a time.
Her hair swayed with every step she took.
Her hair is a mix of pale red and pale yellow.
As a slang term, it was orange-colored hair that reminded me of a sunset.
“I will work hard to act as a substitute until my father’s condition improves, well.”
“It’s a lot of trouble.”
“Because someday I will inherit the Sephirot. Wouldn’t it be nice to think of experiencing it beforehand?”
“So?”
“Yes.”
Ji-hyeon raised her mouth slightly, and Jeong Se-yeon smiled slightly.
Her smiling face seemed to be asking about her current situation, but the atmosphere felt between the two was unusual.
Because the snow is coldly sinking.
‘Anyway, this is the first time I’ve seen Jeong Se-yeon in person… ….’
I quietly glanced at Jeong Se-yeon.
There were many posts about Jeong Se-yeon in the Hunter Gallery, but seeing her with her own two eyes, the atmosphere was definitely different.
I could feel the charm and charisma that attracted people just by looking at him quietly.
It reminded me of Jihyeon, Seoyoon, and Hwaryeon.
It’s not just the blood of the 4 clans.
It is said that he is by no means easy enough to be ridiculed indiscriminately on the Internet.
The main reason why Jeong Se-yeon is being bullied is because of the confrontation between Jeong Se-yeon and Sung Kang-hoon at the Hunter Academy.
It was shocking in many ways that the human being, the next successor of the Sephirot, lost his heart to the second son of the family name Nabu Raeng.
But looking at it objectively, Jeong Se-yeon is not weak.
Sung Kang-hoon is strangely strong.
Well, thinking about it, it’s only natural that Sung Kang-hoon is strong.
The surname Sega had been famous as a martial arts group since ancient times, possessed the strongest military power among the four clans, and followed the order of the jungle.
It was the last name that the weak could not survive.
Since he was Seong Kang-hun, who had unrivaled military strength in the family name family, he was a talented person comparable to the successors of the other 4 clans.
‘…… Certainly pretty is pretty.’
Jeong Se-yeon looked at the glance and fell into thought.
Jeong Se-yeon has been rumored to be beautiful since ancient times.
It was much prettier seeing it in person than seeing it in pictures.
But she doesn’t have much crush on her.
I don’t like Jeong Se-yeon apart from being pretty.
I haven’t done anything wrong, but I don’t deserve it.
It was a personal dislike.
I let out a sigh inwardly and then greeted you.
“Hello. Seyeon Jeong Mr. Nice to meet you.”
“Ah.”
Jeong Se-yeon glanced away at her.
Two puzzled eyes are looking at me.
I glanced over my body for a short time.
“Are you Seojun Han?”
“Yes.”
You know my name.
It’s quite surprising that someone like Jeong Se-yeon knows my name.
No, if you think about it, it was only natural that Jeong Se-yeon knew me, but since she mentioned her name directly like this, it feels weird for some reason.
…… If it was like the old days, they would not have even remembered my name, saying that I was just a porter.
“I heard that Jihyun unnie’s childhood friend, is that true?”
“We’ve been close since we were little.”
Jeong Se-yeon made a subtle look in her eyes before she quietly opened her mouth.
“Sometimes my sister talked about Seojun so I wondered what kind of person he was.”
“My story?”
I glared at Jihyun with a surprised expression, and Jihyun let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
“Seyeon-ah, don’t say anything strange.”
Three sneaked up to me and pricked my cheek with her finger.
“When did I tell you about this guy?”
“You talk about it sometimes when you’re drinking?”
“Me?”
“Uh.”
Jihyun hesitated for a moment with her bewildered face, then she scratched her cheek. Both cheeks were very slightly red. It seems that he wants to get away from this topic.
“What did I say when I was drunk…… Oh right. Is there a team leader? Hello?”
Jihyun, who had a slightly awkward expression, pretended to know the 3rd team leader with her bitter smile. She was openly changing the subject, but she didn’t bother.
“What is it, Jihyun? Did you just see me? It’s been a while since we met, aren’t you too interested?”
“Oh, yes, what.”
When a man cries for no reason, Ji-hyeon smiles again.
‘Who is that person?’
Slightly behind Jeong Se-yeon.
Heo Woo-dae There is a normal man.
He was a man in his early to mid-thirties, but he felt quite young.
He looked only to be in his late twenties.
“By the way, what are you doing here? Team 3?”
“Don’t call me team leader rigidly, call me oppa?”
The man pretended to be friendly and trembled.
The name of the man who is in charge of the 3rd strategy team is Kang Kang-seong.
He is an S-Rank capable person who is regarded as one of the Sephiroth’s best fighters.
Kang Han-seong was famous for his ability in the gravity system.
You can handle gravity freely to float your body in the air, and you can crush your opponent with strong gravity. Jihyun’s backward compatibility, but the fact that it is a useful ability cannot be denied.
“So what happened?”
“Today is my day off, so I came here with a couple of friends.”
“The person who said that one more person would come as an attendant was the 3rd team leader?”
“Yes. Isn’t it a bit disrespectful for Seyeon to be alone? Wouldn’t it be a painting if you accompany me?”
She picked Jira Ji-hyeon, who was an absurd excuse, and shed ridicule.
“Do you really have nothing to do? Someone with an S rank ability fulfills the role of an attendant?”
“It’s my day off. Don’t be like that.”
“Then go home and get some rest.”
Jihyun responded with a chilly expression as if it were annoying.
But regardless of her strength, she just smiled.
She doesn’t deserve the appearance of Kang Kang-seong, who pretends to be close enough to be strange. Why are you flirting like that?
Actually, I’ve heard rumors of her strength.
I heard that she is personally interested in Jihyun…….
If she was a normal man, she wouldn’t have dared to flirt with Jihyun.
There is a saying that he pokes an inedible persimmon and sees me, but if Ji-hyeon is a person like that, it’s absurd.
However, Kang Kang is not an ordinary male.
He is the second son of a fairly famous Hunter family, and his own abilities are also outstanding.
It’s not unusual to reach an S rank in your early thirties.
Of course, it’s not a level that can be compared to Jihyun, but he seems to think that he’s at the level of rubbing (?) While pretending to be close.
“Are you more picky today?”
“Well? It’s the same as usual. It just behaves harshly depending on the person.”
“hahahaha. It’s also a b*tch. How is it? Do you want to have dinner with us after a long time?”
“I’m sorry, but I have a lot of work to do today… ….”
What is that bastard saying?
It was the moment when Ji-hyeon was about to reveal his intention of refusal.
I could tell he took one squint in my direction.
He looks like he’s thinking for a while, but then he makes a mischievous expression.
…… Ah. Could it be Jihyun?
That expression.
It’s a playful face.
I know it because I saw it a lot in my school days.
What is Jihyun trying to do with that guy?
“…… Come to think of it, I don’t think I’m that busy.”
“Huh?”
Is Jihyun’s answer surprising?
For a moment, Kang Han-seong blinked and showed a slightly surprised reaction.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to have dinner once in a while.”
“Really? What is it?”
Kang Han-seong raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.
“So…… Seo Jun-ah.”
Ji-hyeon glanced back at me with a slightly calm face.
“I might be able to come back a little later today. Understand?”
Glancing at me with her arrogant face, Jihyun slightly raised the bridge of her nose and made an expression as if ‘I am such a woman~’.
I was just smiling and smiling as if I was looking forward to seeing how I would behave.
“… ….”
Uh, um.
What can I say?
This is too breaking news and an obvious joke.
If it was Ji-hyeon, she wouldn’t do such an uncivilized farmland street with her business partners.
‘Jihyun is also true. He’s acting very childish today.’
That action is probably Jihyun’s own complaint.
Hee hee, in those eyes staring at me with a smile on his face, ‘You fool, be a little nervous. Because I’m popular. Do good while you are there.’ Is implied.
I know that Jihyun is usually popular, but seeing an S-ranked person goofing around like this makes me feel bad.
If it was me in the past, I might have felt the difference between myself and Jihyun, and would have shrunk.
But now it’s different.
“Ha ha.”
After I mentally washed my face, I scratched the back of my neck.
I felt embarrassed by the nasty prank of my lover who wanted me to be jealous.
No, to be precise, it was unpleasant and embarrassing rather than embarrassing.
Because there were two people who got on my nerves today.
Jeong Se-yeon and Kang Kang-seong.
I couldn’t help but feel the heat slowly boil in my heart as Jihyun was doing the farmland in a bad mood.
‘Jealousy, jealousy…… What can I do for you?’
Hook your tongue slightly and exhale slowly.
Warm heat is leaking from the lungs.
I smile bitterly in my heart.
Honestly, it was a bit funny for a guy with all four legs to think about this, but I am a guy with a lot of greed for naeuronambul.
Even if Jihyun doesn’t act like that, he’s really jealous.
If it was normal, I wouldn’t have acted this directly, but I thought it would be better to conclude this.
Being dragged along by Ji-hyeon doesn’t match the spirit, and I can’t see the behavior of the stronger s*x anymore.
Because I’m not generous enough to see the offspring being teased by my girlfriend.
I picked it up in my mind and let out a laugh, then slowly raised my voice.
I needed traffic control, but it went well.
Okay Jihyun. Wanna see me jealous? I’ll show.
But since you started first, don’t say something else later? Understand?
“Jihyun-ah.”
“Oops. What’s the matter?”
Ji-hyeon raised the corners of his mouth gently while making a playful reply with a nasty face.
“Why are you calling me? Could it be that you don’t like it? It’s been a while since I can have dinner with an old co-worker…… Huh?”
I quickly stretched out my right hand and hugged Jihyun’s waist tightly.
“What are you doing?”
Jihyun, who was blinded by my sudden action, secretly said, ‘Oh? Look at this?
I kept my silence with a serious face, hugged Jihyun’s waist a little tighter, and turned her head away.
Then, Kang Han-seong, who was frowning at her, was seen.
It’s a very displeased face.
Wow, this bastard. Why do you look like that
This is absurd. Who can see that it’s your girlfriend? Right?
“I’m sorry, Kang Han-seong. I don’t think I can have dinner with Jihyun.”
“Why are you saying that?”
It’s called ‘that side’.
It is a very sharp reaction.
He seems to have noticed that Jihyun and I are not in a normal relationship.
“Actually, I have a prior agreement with you. I think Jihyun forgot. Isn’t that right, Jihyun?”
I stared at Ji-hyeon’s face for a little while, and Ji-hyeon looked at her with an interesting face, deep in thought, then licked her lips.
“Well~? How about it?”
Jihyeon let go of his horse’s tail.
Anyway, this situation seemed to be quite interesting.
I was able to understand Ji-hyeon’s current behavior to some extent, considering that Ji-hyeon had been suffering from a harem (?) Problem lately.
I should feel the opposite, too, right?
He is also true. He is a troubled character.
“…… You two look very close.”
“We’ve been close since we were young. It was close to my house, so I often went out to play.”
“Ha.”
Was it too obvious a provocation?
Kang Han-seong let out a laugh as if it was not worth it.
Because they are close friends only in words, but their actions are no different from those of lovers.
Which childhood friend in the world would stare at you while holding onto your waist?
“Whoa…… Well, I see.”
Kang Kang-seong bit her lip once and then stared at me with her menacing eyes.
“But it’s kind of hard to see him carelessly putting his hand on Jihyun’s body like that, right?”
“Yes? Ji-hyeon is still, but why is Kang Kang-seong? We’ve been playing like this since we were little. Isn’t that right, Jihyun?”
I smiled slightly and wrapped my arms around Jihyun’s waist a little more. He could feel the touch of her soft breasts. Kang Han-seong’s face began to fade. Perhaps she might think that Kang Kang-seong was a bit of an insignificant guy.
“Are you two in a relationship too?”
At that time, Jeong Se-yeon, who had been silent until now, asked her a question.
Jung Se-yeon was looking at me and Ji-hyeon alternately with a very interesting expression and eyes.
She seemed to be observing.
“Well?”
I raised the corner of my mouth with an ambiguous answer.
“How do you see us in Jeong Se-yeon’s eyes?”
“Yes?”
Jeong Se-yeon blinked her eyes and put on a slightly embarrassed expression, then she opened her lips.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Jihyun unnie be so calm. Even when she was drunk, she rejected men’s skinship with a single knife…….”
Jeong Se-yeon, who was chanting slightly surprised, lifted her head with her face reminded of something.
“Oh, come to think of it, there was a dating scandal a while ago, Jihyun unni, but was it really true?”
“Yaya. Three years old do you believe that Because I’m going to buy it all.”
“No, oppa, stay still. Sister. Are you really dating Seo-joon?”
“Hmm.”
Jihyun made an unknown expression.
It was a face contemplating whether to speak or not.
But she seems to have made up her mind soon.
“What…… Let’s stop kidding here. If this is the case anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to clarify. Isn’t that right, Seojun?”
I nodded silently.
It was ridiculous to say that we weren’t lovers when we showed this much. Of course, it was a headache in many ways to reveal that they were in a relationship, but recently, Ji-hyeon often came out and exposed her intimate side. She had no intention of hiding it in the first place.
“So what?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Jihyun nodded her head and answered with a confident voice.
“I’m dating Seojun. It hasn’t been officially announced yet, but…… For now, I want you to keep it a secret.”
“What, what? Hey Jihyun! Are you real Are you dating that person?”
Kang Han-seong had a seizure with an expression of disbelief.
