Cuss words burst out of my mouth automatically at the sight of the titles, which were a total spectacle. I stared wide-eyed, wondering what kind of crazy nonsense this was. I read through the article as if I were about to be sucked into the phone.
Yesterday afternoon, sightings of S-rank Hunter Gong Siyoung were heard at the Hunter Management Bureau. What was the reason for this much-talked-about man, who is never without trouble, to visit the Bureau? While many did not doubt it was regarding the rumored ‘Hunter Team System Operation,’ multiple overlapping witness accounts told a completely different story.
That Hunter Gong Siyoung was seen affectionately holding hands with an unidentified civilian.
The investigation results surprisingly revealed this to be true. An unprecedented event has occurred. Who exactly is the lover of Hunter Gong Siyoung, also known as the ‘Ice Princess’?
After that, a long-winded pile of garbage was written. If I could, I wanted to spray water on the database itself.
Gong Siyoung chewed over the reporter’s name and email address. You are dead, you piece of sh*t.
He immediately searched through his phone numbers. His fingers moved busily as he looked for the Yeollak Guild’s media response team and lawyers.
I will make the person who wrote this f*cking article pay the price.
Gong Siyoung’s eyes burned with hatred.
It felt like everyone had gone crazy. My dating rumor is more important than an overlapping gate? Has everyone really lost their minds?
A dating rumor; I swear to heaven I have never done such a thing. I wasn’t seeing anyone, and holding hands… well, we did hold hands.
“… This is driving me crazy, seriously.”
He clutched his forehead. Only then did it come to mind. The conversations he shared while affectionately holding hands with Julian in front of the Hunter Management Bureau when he went to drop him off.
“I’m very interested in you.”
With wide eyes and a smile, he had definitely said that. There were even mentions of whether they slept together or not.
A lightning-like realization descended in that instant. Julian, that man must have been truly serious?
Otherwise, there was no way he would have pointed him out so specifically even in the meeting room. Gong Siyoung covered his mouth. His body trembled with shock and horror.
“S-so, is that why he said that to me?”
The words about living together must have been sincere, not a joke.
Gong Siyoung’s eyes quivered. How can a person have no sense of shame and spit out such, such things in front of so many people?
What was even worse was that, in the end, Gong Sijin accepted that proposal.
Gong Siyoung’s will was not reflected in that process at all. Gong Sijin, his older brother, the Guild Master, and a definite sociopath, willingly offered up his younger brother as a sacrifice.
He even thrust a contract at Julian on the spot, telling Gong Siyoung not to say another word.
This time, too, Gong Siyoung’s opinion was not important. Park Ildo patted his shoulder, which was frozen in shock.
And so, Julian’s name was added to the Yeollak Guild. Everything rolled along smoothly. Except for Gong Siyoung, the party involved.
By the time he protested belatedly and screamed asking if they were all crazy, everything was already over.
Gong Sijin left with Julian, saying he would get the sword fixed, while Woo Yujin and Gu Jayoung slipped away, saying they were heading back.
Once even Park Ildo disappeared, saying he had to form a response team, he was left alone in his seat like a worn-out shoe. Even having one’s nose cut off while one’s eyes were open would not be more absurd than this.
“Julian or whatever, that man, it was all a scheme. C-could it be he was aiming for my body from the start…?”
Saying he’d live with me, isn’t that practically a proposal?
How could a person be so incredibly forward? I couldn’t fathom at all what was inside Julian’s head.
I had dreamed of a safe breakup with that crazy guy, but now I was in danger of being caught without any escape.
There was another problem. The fact that Gong Sijin completely took a liking to Julian. He especially seemed to have blind faith in his monster encyclopedia ability.
He had a hidden agenda from the moment he tried to hold onto Julian while even meeting absurd conditions.
When entering the overlapping dungeon, it was clear he had tapped Julian to be the mainstay of the Yeollak Guild.
That meant I might have to accompany Julian again when entering the dungeon.
I’m already annoyed to death by being with the other tagalongs, and now I have to accompany Julian again?
“I won’t. I can’t.”
This won’t do. This was no time to be avoiding the issue like this.
Gong Siyoung stood up abruptly. Grabbing his phone, he left the physical training room. He had come to exercise to shake off his stray thoughts, but it seemed like nothing would get done this way.
As he was about to push the door open and leave, he came face-to-face with someone entering. Pink hair caught his eye first.
“Oh? It’s Hunter Siyoung?”
The man greeted him familiarly. Beneath the toy-like pink hair, piercings were visible all over his earlobes. Every single one of them was pathetic.
Before he could pick a fight for no reason, Gong Siyoung bowed his head first.
“Excuse me.”
“Hey, meeting like this is fate, so shall we do some talking-talking? I heard from Hunter Yujin that something incredible happened in the meantime?”
The man grabbed his shoulder. Gong Siyoung reflexively swatted the man’s hand away. The man let out an exaggerated groan.
“Ouch, is an S-rank Hunter allowed to just hit people like this?”
As if he couldn’t see Gong Siyoung’s chilling eyes, he maintained a playful attitude. Gong Siyoung gritted his teeth.
“Hunter Myeong Haejin, that’s enough.”
“I know my name is Myeong Haejin. No, I was just going to pass by, but how can I just pass by when we met right here like destiny? Hunter Siyoung, did you see this?”
Myeong Haejin pulled out his phone and showed it. Gong Siyoung frowned fiercely at the headline floating on the screen. It was the dating rumor for which he had pledged bloody revenge just moments ago.
“I thought this was a lie… but Hunter Yujin said so? That there was a man Hunter Siyoung was holding hands with tightly inside the dungeon—Hey, where are you going! I’m not finished yet!”
Gong Siyoung stepped out into the hallway without looking back, avoiding Myeong Haejin who was spitting out nonsense. And instead of an answer, he raised his middle finger. Eat this and get lost, you bastard.
Myeong Haejin shouted something or other from behind, but Gong Siyoung moved his feet without even listening. Just how unlucky was he to run into that bastard? He shuddered.
Myeong Haejin, that guy was truly a social evil and a bastard who was of no help in life. He was Gong Siyoung’s natural enemy and a crazy person among crazies. He was a guy who would put any average lunatic to shame, a being that could never be on the same wavelength.
Woo Yujin and Gu Jayoung; those two were gentlemen compared to Myeong Haejin. In fact, the reason Woo Yujin and Gu Jayoung became targets of avoidance was related to Myeong Haejin.
There was a name for the three of them—Myeong Haejin, Woo Yujin, and Gu Jayoung—bundled together.
‘The Crazy Bastards Club’
It was a name given to them because they only ever did crazy things.
There was no disagreement that Myeong Haejin was a 100% pure crazy bastard. If he weren’t a Hunter, that guy would have been sued or litigated long ago; anyway, he was a human who wouldn’t see a good end.
At least he could live like a normal person because he was a Hunter.
Only after shuddering for a long time did his mind calm down a bit. He didn’t want to live facing that guy if possible, but since they were in the same guild, this happened occasionally.
Why is that bastard’s life so long? While he was seriously wondering if someone wouldn’t just take that bastard away, his phone vibrated. It was a text from Gong Sijin.
< Gong Sijin
The sword repair is finished, so take Mr. Yuri with you 😊
An address was written below that. Gong Siyoung’s expression sank gloomily, like a person facing a homework assignment they had been putting off.
Won’t someone take this person away either? Thinking of Julian, who was definitely a crazy guy and a pervert, his sigh deepened.

“Thanks.”
Julian hugged the sword dearly. The cherished sword that had been snapped in two had been transformed into something as clean as new. A faint blush appeared on Julian’s cheeks.
“Actually, I thought it might not be fixable… but really, thanks.”
The parts that had been old and broken here and there were also neatly tidied up. Gong Sijin smiled warmly at Julian’s happy face.
“Don’t mention it. It’s thanks to our technician’s outstanding ability.”
There were few workshops in the country that maintained Hunters’ weapons.
Among them, the place rumored to have the best ability was the company partnered with the Yeollak Guild. It was a place that sold items as well as general weapons and even provided repairs.
Julian’s sword, which had been snapped in two, had also undergone a transformation just a few hours after arriving here. Like a child who had received a new toy, Julian could not take his eyes off the sword for a long time.
“Is it a precious item?”
“Rather than precious… it’s a cherished sword.”
Gong Sijin thought those were the same thing, but he kept his words to himself. He checked his phone and called Julian.
“Siyoung says he’ll arrive soon. Shall we go out and wait?”
Julian quickly approached his side. He fastened the sword to his waist and patted it. The heavy weight didn’t feel bad today.
While leaving the building, Gong Sijin gave earnest advice.
“Tell Siyoung to make sure he feeds you, if nothing else. No, I’ll tell him myself, so Mr. Yuri, just stay still. I don’t know what on earth that kid lives on. Still, how could he let a guest starve? He’s crazy, seriously.”
Was the fact that he hadn’t provided food really that shocking?
While Julian was hesitating, a car stopped at the entrance. It was Gong Siyoung’s car, which was now familiar even to Julian.
