NOVEL NEXT S-Class Except Me
Chapter 33
The rest of the family came to the airport to see Haeun off, except for Jung Eunwoo, who was busy today and couldn’t find the time.
“Have a good trip, Noona.” “Haeun-ah, bring this to Dad. I left it there because he said he needed it. Understand?” “Okay, I’ll be back!” Haeun waved her hand and entered the arrivals hall. “Whoo.” Haeun sat in the reserved first-class seat and leaned against the soft chair. There is a long way to the United States. She downloaded the drama on her phone in preparation for the boring flight time. There is a season 2 of a love affair under the guise of a thrilling youth story she watched last time. She should watch it again. The Constellation spoke to Haeun, who was trying to settle down early and focus on the drama. [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ blindly follows Haeun and asks what she is trying to do.] ‘Well, I’m going to get something from Hunter Seo Dojoon first.’ Haeun opened the window. The contents of the contact with Seo Dojoon this morning remained. [8:21 AM] Seo Dojoon-ssi [8:21 AM] Are you leaving today? ㅠㅠ [8:21 AM] Is Soyeon okay now? I’m worried She’s fine. [8:22 AM] I think she’ll have another thorough examination after returning home, but getting on the plane doesn’t seem difficult. [8:22 AM] [8:24 AM] That’s a reliefㅠㅠ. Take care of yourself~~ [8:27 AM] If you ever go to America, when are you coming back? I’m planning to head right back on the plane tomorrow night. [8:27 AM] [8:28 AM] I see ㅎㅎ Is there something wrong? [8:30 AM] [8:31 AM] No, I just asked.>< Seo Dojoon will already cross the Pacific Ocean with Baek Doohan and Baek Soyeon. Haeun was planning on targeting the time when Seo Dojoon returned to the airport after completing the request to guard Baek Doohan’s party at his home. To find out where Baek Soyeon lives, she ties up and threatens Seo Dojoon with her Dad. Hovering around and looking for opportunities. Since Baek Doohan seems to believe in shamanism, she uses similar measures to inform Baek Soyeon of her situation. [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ clicks his tongue, saying that with such a sloppy plan, everyone will be caught before it even starts.] ‘It’s a plan, so it might change.’ [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says this can’t be called a plan in the first place.] ‘Then what? It’s not like I can tell her to Awaken because she has been chosen by the Constellation and can suck honey like me. For now, this is the best.’ After a long flight, Haeun finally arrived in America. “Haeun-ah!” Jung Jinho, who had already been at the airport, saw Haeun and exclaimed happily. It’s been almost three weeks since she saw her father. So Haeun smiled brightly and ran to him. “Dad!” “Jung Haeun, you!” Jung Jinho roared loudly. Haeun, who was just glad, flinched. Jung Jinho, who was looking down at Haeun for a while, sighed and said. “In Korea! You get caught up in dungeons! Dad can’t even move here in America. Do you know how worried Dad was?” “Dad, it’s a natural disaster….” “Uhm.” Haeun shut her mouth. Anyway, because of that dungeon, it breaks here and there. There’s nothing I can do about it! Haeun clung to Jung Jinho’s arm. Jung Jinho still looked displeased. Haeun snorted and acted cute. “Ey, Dad. I flew all the way to America because I wanted to see Dad.” “Ehem.” “Dad, didn’t you miss me?” “Haeun, will you keep changing the subject?” “Yes, yes. I’m also reflecting on myself a lot. So I came to America to stay calm with Dad.” At the same time, she will solve the problem of Baek Soyeon, talk about the Constellation, and reveal the secrets of the system window that always follows Haeun. ‘Ah, busy, I’m so busy.’ [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is saddened that Haeun has an empty dream.] “Dad, have you contacted Hunter Seo Dojoon?” “Yeah. I was going to say something anyway.” Jung Jinho’s eyes lit up again. He gritted his teeth. “What on earth did he do to let you get caught up in the dungeon? It was a D-Class dungeon! Haeun, what would you do if you got hurt!” “Ahaha.” “I was proud to see that he was still number one in the rankings in Korea and that my young friend was living a hard life. I have to say something very well this time. I couldn’t go to Korea, so I said a few words over the phone, but it’s great that he’s in America now.” A few words on the phone were actually an hour-long nagging, but Haeun didn’t know it. “I told him to go see me before he leaves, so he will come. I gave him the lodging address, so he will come there.” “Are we going to the accommodation, too?” “Yes, let’s move now. Have you eaten yet?” “I ate the in-flight meal.” “Will this be the in-flight meal? I can’t. Let’s eat first and then go. There is a famous restaurant for locals not far away. Haeun, you’ll like it, too.” Then, the question of whether there would be a situation where Seo Dojoon would be waiting passed through Haeun’s head for a moment. But soon, Haeun shook her head. If it were Seo Dojoon, he wouldn’t be able to ignore it and go back to Korea as long as her father called him because he’s a pretty stubborn type. [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ asks if it’s just because Haeun is hungry.] ‘Hehe, I was caught.’ Leaving the Constellation’s criticism behind, Haeun had a pleasant meal with Jung Jinho, whom she hadn’t seen in a while. And when she returned to the lodging where Jung Jinho was staying, she found Seo Dojoon waiting for Jung Jinho at the door, as Haeun expected. When Jung Jinho discovered Seo Dojoon, a fire broke out around his eyes. Korea’s No. 1 ranking! Seo Dojoon was such a valuable talent that no one could carelessly treat him. “Hunter Seo Dojoon.” “Yes…!” “You, come inside.” In Hunter society, another food chain exists. When Seo Dojoon swallowed dry saliva, his neck groaned loudly. The hardened lips clearly showed that he was nervous. “I have a lot to say.” Even though the contract is over, it looks like Seo Dojoon’s name, which should be on the waiting list for Jung Jinho’s studio, has left the planet. Poor Seo Dojoon. She’d like to side with him, but she can’t. Sorry. * * * Haeun’s family are all famous S-Class Hunters, but if they had to choose the most famous person among them, it would be none other than Jung Jinho. There are many Hunters with strong power, but only a handful of blacksmiths can create powerful weapons. As if it were worth his name, Jung Jinho was invited here as an item manufacturing advisor for Haniel Industries, the most famous weapons manufacturing workshop in the United States. Haniel also provided his accommodation. It was a good accommodation with a clean interior and spacious space. It was a high-rise building, so when she opened the balcony door and stepped outside, she could see New York all at once. There was also good security, and Hunter was standing outside as a guard. ‘I think this is much better than my house.’ Haeun scratched her cheek. The apartment where Haeun’s family originally lived was also a large, high-end apartment, but compared to this place, it seemed infinitely lacking. Of course, that meant that Haniel was paying special attention to treating Jinho, and they had to. Jung Jinho is one of the few people in the world who can make legendary items. While Haeun admired the interior of the luxury accommodation, Jung Jinho opened his mouth. “I had high expectations of you.” “Yes, Hunter Jung Jinho.” “I was very disappointed this time.” When Jung Jinho attacked Seo Dojoon from the start, he shut his mouth tightly. Haeun read about the tension between Seo Dojoon and Jeong Jinho. In fact, looking back at the situation at the time, Seo Dojoon played the game at Haeun’s request and lost, and accordingly, he only let Haeun go for a very short time. However, Haeun, who barely went out to buy lunch, fell into the dungeon right away, so it can be said that there is bad luck. “I apologize. I have nothing to say.” However, instead of making excuses, Seo Dojoon neatly apologized. Haeun, who had been watching him, nodded her head in satisfaction. That was why Haeun was still fond of Seo Dojoon despite what had happened to him. ‘It’s responsible and very good.’ [The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says that Seo Dojoon was very pitiful because Haeun caught him.] However, Jung Jinho’s dissatisfaction had not yet been resolved. “Are you admitting that it was your fault?” “I admit it.” “Our Haeun is like me, so she’s smart and has a lot of curiosity.” “Yes.” “So you should have known in advance that she could go wild and prepared for it.” “Dad?” Haeun was taken aback by the sudden criticism. Jung Jinho narrowed his eyes. “You too, Haeun. Dad even gave me 1st place in the rankings, but I should have stayed calm. I often run away on my own and get caught up in dangerous things. Do you think that makes sense?” Suddenly, sparks flew to Haeun as well. As soon as she arrived in the US, she was scolded, and then she got scolded again. Haeun pursed her lips. “As long as dungeons haven’t disappeared from the world yet, you have to live with the awareness that it can always be dangerous. Hunter Seo Dojoon, don’t you think so?” “That’s right.” “Anyway, kids these days don’t know that dungeons are dangerous. When I was on my honeymoon, I turned the plane around when the dungeon break went off.” Even ‘when I was’ came out. This will be at least an hour long. Haeun pursed her lips and muttered. “Dad is a production worker, so you don’t go to the field.” “At that time, there were fewer Hunters than now, so when the country called, we were dispatched unconditionally. I didn’t know that there was a separate attack team and a separate recovery team like now. And Haeun, are you reflecting on yourself? Shall we have a frank talk with Dad today?” “I’m sorry. I’m totally reflecting on myself.” Haeun immediately raised the white flag. Jung Jinho’s nagging would go on longer than Lee Yoonkyung’s once the engine started. If she didn’t want to be nagged all night, answering yes nicely was the easiest way to end it. As expected, the long and boring time of being scolded continued until the ears got sores. By the time Haeun recalled the drama she had seen on the plane in her head and tried to listen to it in her ears, Jung Jinho’s nagging finally showed signs of ending. “Be careful, Hunter Seo Dojoon. Do you understand? “I’ll be careful not to let this happen again.” “If it weren’t for the fact that Haeun was safe and unharmed, you would have….” Jung Jinho pretended to cut his throat with his thumb. “I will keep an eye on you.” “Yes.” Seo Dojoon’s answering face was somehow thin. As the No. 1 in the rankings and the leader of the Ahyeon Guild, he would hardly have been scolded by anyone. Jung Jinho was really great in many ways. “Then are you going back to Korea now?” “No, the flight I was booked for has already left and I think I will have to catch the morning flight.” “Yeah. Do you have a place to stay?” “I can stay at a hotel near the airport.” At Seo Dojoon’s words, Haeun suddenly came to her senses. She forgot for a short time what she had come to the United States for and why she had come there because of Jung Jinho’s attack. ‘I haven’t even asked where Baek Soyeon lives or her contact information yet.’ If Seo Dojoon goes back right away from here, it will be a total failure!
