Chapter 25: Meeting My Ex-Girlfriend Again

“Oh, you’re here?”

Joo Hyun, who had approached me, greeted me coldly.

Look at her attitude towards the person who went to the trouble of bringing her luggage because of her.

Joo Hyun didn’t even pay attention to Han Yu Ri beside me and started examining me all over.

‘What’s wrong with her?’

“Why?”

I asked because Joo Hyun’s behavior was too strange.

“What? What.”

When I asked, Joo Hyun replied, sounding a little flustered.

“Nothing. Just take your luggage quickly.”

I said, pointing to the boxes piled up next to me.

“The luggage is… Uh, who is this…?”

Perhaps she noticed Han Yu Ri after about to say something to me, Joo Hyun asked me, flustered.

“Ah, this is…”

‘How should I introduce her?’

Since she’s covering her face, let’s just introduce her as a colleague who does something together.

“Hello. I am Han Yu Ri, Guild Master of the Leah Guild.”

Just as I was about to vaguely make an excuse to Joo Hyun, Han Yu Ri took off her hat and mask and spoke to Joo Hyun.

When she took off her hat, her beautiful and soft sky blue hair flowed down.

The sight was so pretty, it was enchanting.

When she took off her mask as well, her beautiful face was fully revealed.

Joo Hyun, seeing Han Yu Ri, showed a severely flustered expression.

Her pupils trembled.

“Ah, Hu-Hunter Han Yu Ri, how did you get here…? Did you come with this Oppa…?”

Joo Hyun asked, greatly flustered.

“Yes.”

Han Yu Ri replied shortly and firmly.

“Why? How do you know Oppa…? What… kind of relationship are you in with Oppa?”

Joo Hyun asked Han Yu Ri, somehow looking very worried about something.

“Ah, that’s not…”

It seemed Joo Hyun was misunderstanding something.

So I tried to explain that it wasn’t like that.

“We are in a push-and-pull relationship, you know?”

Han Yu Ri looked at Joo Hyun and said haughtily.

At Han Yu Ri’s reply, Joo Hyun’s face showed shock.

And I was also shocked.

‘What… What does that mean?!’

“Yes?!”

Joo Hyun asked, startled.

“Mr. Geon and I. We’re in a push-and-pull relationship, you know? So we came together.”

“Really…?”

“Yes.”

Han Yu Ri’s reply was firm.

Her reply flustered both Joo Hyun and me.

No, only I should be flustered.

Why is Joo Hyun flustered?

‘Is it because I’m C-class, so she can’t believe that someone like me could be in a push-and-pull with an S-class?’

But thinking about it, it’s true.

Why would an S-class meet me?

Joo Hyun has a right to be surprised.

I admit it.

“Ah…

Uh…”

Joo Hyun seemed shocked and couldn’t speak.

“I brought Hunter Lee Joo Hyun’s luggage, so you won’t need to see Mr. Geon anymore, will you? Since things are going well between Mr. Geon and me, please don’t call him out like this from now on.”

Han Yu Ri spoke strongly to Joo Hyun.

‘What does that mean… she’s doing well with me?’

‘Even I am hearing this for the first time.’

Joo Hyun stared blankly at me and Han Yu Ri alternately, unable to say anything for a moment.

Actually, we met for the first time today.

Joo Hyun’s expression seemed to indicate she thought we were quite deeply involved.

“I don’t want to…”

After a moment, Joo Hyun opened her mouth.

That reply was as shocking to me as Han Yu Ri’s declaration of a push-and-pull relationship.

‘Why don’t you want to either?’

“Yes?”

Han Yu Ri also asked back, sounding bewildered, to Joo Hyun.

“I don’t want to. Why can’t I call him out? It’s my choice. Even if you’re in a push-and-pull relationship, you’re not even dating yet, are you?”

“Hey. What are you talking about? So you’re going to call me out again?”

“Yeah.”

Joo Hyun looked at me with eyes that seemed slightly resentful and said.

‘What is it?’

‘Why are you looking at me like that?’

“No. Just focus on your relationship with Kim Joon Hyuk. Now that I’ve given you all your luggage, I’m going to block you. So don’t contact me from now on.”

“Just try to block me. I’ll seriously kill you.”

“Excuse me. Hunter Lee Joo Hyun. What did you do right to say you’ll kill or won’t kill Mr. Geon? Do you have the right to say that?”

Han Yu Ri, who had heard enough, said angrily.

“This is a matter between my ex-boyfriend and me, so Hunter Han Yu Ri, please stay out of it.”

To such a Han Yu Ri, Joo Hyun also replied coldly without backing down.

A heavy atmosphere lingered.

It was fortunate that they were both non-combat type S-classes, owners of meow punches with no real power;

if two combat-type S-class Hunters had a fight fueled by emotions like this, I would have been truly scared something would happen.

Of course, I, who had a fight fueled by emotions with Kim Joon Hyuk, the pinnacle of combat-type S-class Hunters, and ended up hitting him, shouldn’t be talking.

But he was a sinner who made me extremely angry, so he was an exception.

“Hey. What do you mean kill? Even if you became S-class, you haven’t forgotten that I win if you and I fight one-on-one, right? With what nerve are you going to contact me again?

There’s no reason to.”

“Ah, if I want to, I will.”

Joo Hyun said firmly.

‘No, what on earth…’

‘What’s wrong with this girl?’

Han Yu Ri seemed to get even more angry and looked like she was about to step forward.

I didn’t want Han Yu Ri to expend any more emotional energy on the issue between Joo Hyun and me.

I felt sorry for her.

So I gently grabbed Han Yu Ri’s left wrist with my right hand to stop her.

Perhaps she understood my intention from the gentle grip on her wrist, Han Yu Ri quieted down.

Joo Hyun, who saw me holding Han Yu Ri’s wrist, seemed greatly surprised for a moment.

Then her expression quickly changed to one of extreme displeasure.

‘Why?’

‘It’s my push-and-pull girlfriend…’

‘Well, not really, but my hypothetical push-and-pull girlfriend.’

‘I’m just holding her wrist a little.’

‘Why are you upset?’

I couldn’t understand.

“Alright. Do it if you want. I’m going to block you anyway, so I won’t see it.”

“If I contact you and you don’t answer, I’ll come find you.”

“Ah, seriously. What’s wrong with you?”

“What about me?”

“Do you still like me?”

“What are you talking about?”

Joo Hyun flustered and got defensive.

I could feel her voice trembling.

“No. If you don’t like me, why would you contact your ex-boyfriend who you broke up with?”

“I don’t know. Maybe I’ll want to.”

Once again, I felt that she was someone you couldn’t have a conversation with.

Han Yu Ri seemed like she was about to step forward again.

From the wrist I was holding, I could feel her wanting to move forward.

I squeezed Han Yu Ri’s wrist just a little, more firmly.

She stopped again.

Joo Hyun, and Han Yu Ri.

The two superstars had been standing there for too long.

Passersby started recognizing them, and people began gathering one by one.

I couldn’t stand here and talk any longer like this.

There was nothing more to say anyway.

If I argued with this girl any longer, I would just get heartburn.

For now, let’s just go.

“I’m leaving for now. Just move the luggage.”

“Don’t block me.”

“Okay, just go quickly.”

‘I am going to block you, though?’

Since I had to leave this spot right now, I just vaguely lied to Joo Hyun for the time being.

‘You’re getting blocked, you bich.’

“Ms. Yu Ri. Let’s go.”

I called Han Yu Ri ‘Ms. Yu Ri’ and told her to go.

Since Han Yu Ri called me ‘Mr. Geon’, I can call her ‘Ms. Yu Ri’ too, right?

Of course, I would only do this in front of Joo Hyun, and call her ‘nim’ again later.

Because we weren’t actually in a push-and-pull relationship.

I wanted to get back at Joo Hyun somehow like this, so I spoke very kindly to Han Yu Ri.

And I continued to hold Han Yu Ri’s wrist that I was grabbing.

“Yes.”

Han Yu Ri also smiled brightly at me and replied.

She also didn’t pull away the wrist that I was holding.

Joo Hyun was trembling with anger, evident from her expression, as she looked at us who seemed to be getting along so well.

‘What, you bich?’

‘Is it an eyesore?’

‘You did that with Kim Joon Hyuk in front of me too.’

From Joo Hyun’s face, it was clearly evident that Joo Hyun was extremely upset.

Seeing Joo Hyun trembling, my mood became very enjoyable.

Thanks to Han Yu Ri coming with me, and thanks to her lying about being in a push-and-pull relationship, I managed to get back at her like this.

I was truly grateful to Han Yu Ri.

Han Yu Ri and I walked side by side, holding wrists, and left Joo Hyun’s side.

“I’ll contact you again! Be sure to answer!”

Behind me and Han Yu Ri as we were leaving, Joo Hyun’s trembling shout was heard.

‘What is she saying?’

I waved my hand without looking back, as if annoyed.

Of course, it meant ‘I won’t answer.’

Why would I answer your call?

“Phew.”

As we moved away from Joo Hyun, I smoothed my chest, which was pounding from surprise, and took a deep breath.

Han Yu Ri was giggling beside me.

“Hunter Yu Ri. Why did you tell such a lie?”

Among all the conversations with Joo Hyun today, I asked Han Yu Ri about that one thing that was the most baffling.

“It’s infuriating, isn’t it? We should at least get something back.”

Han Yu Ri said, slightly furrowing her brow adorably.

“Still, what if a rumor spreads wrongly? Joo Hyun might go around telling people. Then Hunter Yu Ri would suffer a disadvantage.”

“Why would I?”

“Yes? Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“I don’t know.”

Han Yu Ri slightly stuck out her tongue cutely, bit it a little, and said.

“Really…”

At her mischievous reply, I couldn’t react at all.

“You don’t have to go to such lengths because I saved you, Hunter Yu Ri.

I didn’t do it expecting anything in return…”

I didn’t want an S-class Hunter to go to such lengths because of me.

I should have been more careful.

My mind was so focused on wanting to get back at Joo Hyun that for a moment I forgot whose wrist I was holding, and what kind of being she was.

The people who gathered there must have taken pictures.

The internet is going to be buzzing again for a while.

“It’s not going to such lengths.”

Han Yu Ri.

She said, looking at my eyes seriously with moist eyes.
