NOVEL NEXT chapter 18
18 – Top 10 Hunter Jihyun Lee (2)
“Han Seo-joon.”
Jihyun’s voice sinks low.
“I am your girlfriend.”
The small pale pink lips moved up and down.
“You are my boyfriend.”
Dark eyes looked straight at me.
“Isn’t it?”
“…… Huh.”
I nodded quietly.
An alarm bell went off in my head.
I was at a loss as to how to deal with this.
Jihyeon sighed at her cell phone and quietly let her fortune rise.
“By the way, what is this article about?”
“… ….”
“Why. Is it because you want to date Seoyoon too?”
“… ….”
She was asking timidly, but her shoulder kept bruising and the back of her neck trembled as if she was struggling to contain her irritability.
“…… Ha. Seo Jun-ah.”
Lee Ji-hyun let out a small sigh as if to let out the heat that had sunk inside her, then turned her grinning gaze and looked her straight into my eyes.
“I knew very well that you posted strange articles for fun in places like the Hunter Gallery from before.”
“Uh.”
“But isn’t the content of this one a bit different?”
“Huh?”
It seems that you talk more lightly than you think.
The response is lukewarm.
I glanced at Lee Ji-hyeon with a curious mind, but she didn’t seem to be more angry than I thought.
She was a little dumbfounded because it was a reaction that would be difficult to come out if she had stolen all the posts she had posted so far.
Oh, no way.
Did you just peek at the last post?
– Title: You guys are dating Lee Ji-hyun and Choi Seo-yoon, but if you had to break up with one of them, who would you break up with?
If you only read this article, there is a possibility that you can fix it.
Of course, from Jihyeon’s point of view, just looking at the title of this post would be quite unpleasant and unpleasant, but the fact that Jihyeon knew well about Seoyoon Choi was applied as a good thing.
Since I know Choi Seo-yoon well, if I suspect that she is interested in Choi Seo-yoon, I will not greatly suspect that she is in a romantic relationship.
Because of what Jihyun mentioned a few days ago.
‘There’s no way that Seoyoon is going out with a man in the first place.’
I remember the conversation at that time.
It was a word imbued with strong conviction.
‘Don’t talk nonsense. Because it’s not like that. It’s just Seoyoon’s ability…… No, it’s nothing.’
At that time, I couldn’t tell because Jihyun cut her off in the middle.
But she could understand now.
What did Jihyun cut off in the middle?
……Ji-hyeon knows that Seo-yoon Choi has a telepathic ability.
Choi Seo-yoon’s mental communication ability.
She has peeked into people’s feelings and inner thoughts since she was a child, and she has been suffering from her for a long time.
She hated being around people and hated touching her body, so she always wore white gloves.
Lee Ji-hyun will not be able to easily accept the fact that Choi Seo-yoon is dating someone else.
That’s why, he didn’t seem to doubt the relationship between me and Seoyoon Choi.
‘I don’t know that my debuff ability destroys Choi Seo-yoon’s telepathic ability. So whoops I’m glad.’
Well, if it was natural, it was natural.
Choi Seo-yoon’s ability was so powerful that he couldn’t control it. Even if she used a Noble Phantasm to suppress her mental abilities, she couldn’t completely seal it.
…… I must have thought that my awakening ability would never be able to stop it.
No wait.
Now that I think about it, Jihyun didn’t know that I had the ability, right?
Choi Seo-yoon knew the nerf ability, Ryu Ye-rin knew the buff ability, but she didn’t know anything as much as Lee Ji-hyun.
…… f*ck. Did I deliberately hide it before I lost my memory?
If I realize that I can destroy Choi Seo-yoon’s ability with my ability, I may doubt the relationship between Choi Seo-yoon and me.
The trash was right.
She deliberately hides her powers to get an affair.
I felt sorry for Jihyun for some reason.
“Seo Jun? What do you think?”
“No. Nothing.”
Thanks to Lee Ji-hyun’s voice, she escaped from her thoughts.
Anyway, to briefly summarize the current situation, Ji-hyeon was in a situation where the relationship between me and Choi Seo-yoon was in doubt, so she didn’t seem to be angry more than necessary.
Of course, posting the delusion of ‘Choi Seo-yoon and Yangdali’ on a chat site seemed very distasteful.
“To be honest, I feel bad. Even if you write, why are you writing this kind of delusion? Do you really just want to cross your legs?”
“I’m sorry. Oh, by the way, I didn’t want to cross my legs, but I uploaded it because I was curious what would the bulletin board users do if they were put in such a situation.”
I was really curious about this.
If other people were in the same situation as me, what would they choose?
“Looking at the fact that you mentioned Seoyoon, you must have liked it? Why. When we ate together last time, did we even get our eyes on each other?”
…… Hmm.
That’s not entirely wrong.
“That can’t be. By the way, I don’t know about you, but a long time ago, you and Choi Seo-yoon had a popularity vote, and it was almost a dead end.”
“Popular vote? Under. Really. Did you do it at the Hunter Gallery?”
“Oh, yes.”
“You really cut off the Hunter Gallery. I think it only affects you badly.”
Jihyun Lee Eun seemed a little upset at first, but when she changed the topic, she responded right away. Unexpectedly she seemed to be able to rectify it easily.
“Anyway, don’t write like this from now on. You really think about it as a reverse branch. How would you feel if you were in my position?”
I nodded my head obediently as it seemed to be right.
“My thoughts were short. I didn’t mean to. I won’t do that from next time. Release your anger, Jihyun-ah.”
Jihyun nodded as he recited a short apology.
I’m glad it turned out to be easier than I thought…….
“Then cell phone.”
Huh?
“Is there anything else you wrote? I need to check what you wrote.”
No sh*t?
I urge you to hand over your phone while waving your hand.
“Give me your cell phone, Seo Jun-ah.”
“Oh, that is.”
“It’s because of you that I have the right to see it, right?”
…… I realized that the words I had said so far were groundwork for getting my cell phone.
When he receives a cell phone, it is obvious that Jihyun will not only look at the community’s posts, but also KakaoTalk contents and phone records.
In my cell phone, the Kakao Talk messages I have exchanged with Choi Seo-yoon, Ganghwa-ryeon, and Ryu Ye-rin are dormant.
Some are a little stimulating, and some are about fresh love.
If Jihyun sees this, she is f*cked in the vulgar language.
I’m not joking, for real.
‘It’s a bit ambiguous to strongly reject it in this situation.’
There is no reason to reject Jihyun’s words.
It was a problem caused by my fault, and Jihyun forced me to hand over my phone as an apology.
It seemed like he was trying to accept the cell phone in moderation, but in this situation, if he revealed his intention to refuse, it would only give him a reason to take it by force.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t just hand it over.
“Why are you still? Is it because you don’t want to give it?”
“Okay.”
This flow is not good.
I just said to Lee Ji-hyun, ‘Don’t you trust me? If this is the case, just break up!’ Shall we shout?
No, if you act too strongly, you may run into a headwind.
It is good to finish the work without giving any justification and not taking actions that will cause more resistance to Ji-hyun than necessary.
“What did you write about? Is there anything I shouldn’t see?”
“Okay take it.”
After organizing my thoughts, I held out my cellphone as if it was no big deal.
Ji-hyeon blinked her eyes as if she was a little embarrassed when I tried to hand it over so obediently.
“What is it? Why are you handing it over? Normally, he stubbornly refused, saying it was privacy.”
“If you ask for it, give it to me, don’t you?”
“Huh, what. Good. Let’s see if you posted another useless post…….”
Just when the cell phone was barely touching her fingers, she uttered a word.
“If you, an S-rank hunter, ask for something, how would I refuse?”
“What?”
Jihyun flinched.
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“You know, Jihyun. I mean, to be honest, you’re a little strange.”
Speaks bluntly.
“From my point of view, it’s embarrassing that you, who I haven’t seen in years, suddenly said that you were my girlfriend, but it’s a little bit because you act so anti-coercively.”
“What is anti-coercion? It’s because you’re wrong And if you’re proud, you can show your cell phone, right? Why. Can you show me my fair share?”
You have a point, but I can’t hand over the initiative right now.
Because I don’t think there’s any way to turn it back if the contents of KakaoTalk are revealed.
“Do you know how I felt when you asked for my phone?”
“Huh?”
“I felt like I was forced into a high-ranking hunter, rather than handing over my cellphone to vent my anger after fighting with my lover.”
“Well, what… ….”
He looked a little puzzled. Seeing that, I felt a bit sorry. But keep talking
“I’m just an E-rank hunter. If an S-rank hunter asks for it, you should give it. Is not it? Even if you say no, can I do something if you try to take it by force?”
“…… If you don’t hide anything, it’s okay to show it.”
“Yes. It’s okay, so let’s see. Oh yeah. Look at Kakao Talk and check all phone records. Just do it your way. What can I do?”
“… ….”
Jihyun Lee frowned at her.
I bit her lower lip and patted her shoulder.
She was able to roughly predict how Ji-hyeon would act, as she often argued with her during her childhood.
So it was easy to respond to some extent.
Jihyun has been secretly weak against things like this since the old days.
“You may be familiar with a romantic relationship after dating me for a few months, but I am not. Honestly kinda I feel awkward after seeing you for the first time in years, but since you keep acting coercively, why am I dating you…….”
“You.”
Lee Ji-hyun suddenly bit her lower lip.
Ah, did I provoke too much?
You shouldn’t stimulate more than necessary.
I was going to ask how you got to know each other.
“…… Are you uncomfortable with the fact that I’m your girlfriend?”
“No, it’s not like that, it’s just that it’s still a little awkward.”
Jihyun lowered her eyes slightly and let out a deep sigh.
“Yes. Come to think of it, I guess I was a bit too much. Like you said, acting like I’m your girlfriend, who I haven’t seen in years, can be burdensome and awkward.”
It was definitely a bit burdensome.
But I…….
“Whoa. Ok, ok Anyway, it’s my fault for forcibly asking for her phone. Admit it.”
Ji-hyeon twitched her eyebrows once and then brought her words out.
“Honestly, why did you not want to give her cell phone like this? What else did you write…… I’m curious, but I’ll be patient.”
She sighs and connects again.
“Your actions are suspicious, and it seems that you are trying to hide something…… I won’t even ask.”
Sulpit raised his head and met my eyes.
“Because I am your girlfriend.”
“Ah.”
“I trust you. It’s not just between S-rank and E-rank hunters, it’s lovers. That’s why, Seojun.”
Lee Ji-hyun bites her lower lip once and carefully floats her rhyme.
“Just in case…… If you cheat or betray me later…….”
Jihyun’s dark eyes are staring intently.
“…… I really won’t let you go.”
Unknowingly.
Three faces flashed through my mind.
‘The fact that I am Seo-jun’s one and only lover.’
‘Yes. Don’t get hurt again like a fool. Take good care of yourself.’
‘Please take good care of me in the future. Teacher.’
The images of Choi Seo-yoon, Ganghwa-ryun, and Ryu Ye-rin came to mind and suddenly disappeared.
Three lovers excluding Lee Ji-hyun.
Can I safely break up with them?
Or… ….
“Okay. Then until here. It’s been a while since I came to visit my house, so there’s no need to be offended by something unpleasant, right?”
“… ….”
I nodded with remorse.
Suddenly, Ji-hyeon sat on the sofa and trembled.
“Anyway, it’s difficult. I didn’t expect you to feel so burdened.”
“What do you mean?”
“Me. Actually, I beat the clan.”
“What?”
When I reacted slightly surprised, Jihyun turned her head away.
“Ah. To be precise…….”
They stare at me and say bluntly.
“…… I quit because of you.”
“…… ?”
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
