Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 82

78. Because we’re close

 

The next day, Bang Hansoo and Min Kangjin came down to the lounge with hungover faces and ate ramen.

 

The lounge was immediately restored yesterday morning with the power of the ‘Housekeeping’ skill, which became powerful after leveling up.

 

Refrigerators and coffee machines were returned to their original locations, and thanks to quick action, none of the food was contaminated.

 

As if Min Kangjin’s words of being old friends were not wrong, Bang Hansoo and Min Kangjin soon returned to their relationship, exchanging trivial jokes and becoming friends in the neighborhood.

 

“But these guys aren’t coming to pick us up…”

 

“That’s why. We’re lost. Oh, I want to follow you out of AM Entertainment too.”

 

“Move to the PR team. That’s the answer, Hyung. I hope you cut off the new coordinator this time. The kids dress like beggars. They pretend to be close friends on social media.”

 

“Didn’t you know that they were other kids? He’s actually the manager’s line. There’s a lot of talk inside the company.”

 

“…What? Am I the only one who didn’t know such a fun story?”

 

“Did you have time to talk? You’re busy auditioning…”

 

“E, excuse me….”

 

I intervened between the two and explained what had happened at dawn.

 

“Actually, I couldn’t tell you because I thought you two were sleeping, but I contacted the Hunter Association at dawn to find out the situation.”

 

It’s because when there’s a commotion on the outside that an idol has disappeared, things get bigger.

 

However, secretary Myunghan said not to worry too much, saying that the staff seemed to have withdrawn in front of the dungeon, and he arrived at the hotel in a few hours.

 

“…So that side…”

 

Bang Hansoo and Min Kangjin’s eyes naturally flowed to the place I pointed with my finger.

 

At the place I pointed to, there was Secretary Myunghan who was reading a book at the back of the lounge, almost hiding his presence.

 

Secretary Myunghan took down the book and greeted the two with a bright smile.

 

“Hello? I heard that a ‘celebrity’ came to this hotel that had a contract with the Hunter Association, so I flew quickly. My name is Lee Myunghan, and I work for the Hunter Association.” 

 

Secretary Myunghan gave the two people the contract quickly with soulless eloquent words.

 

“You’re both hunters, right?”

 

“Yes, what about it?”

 

“Please look at this contract and sign it.”

 

The contract said not to post stories about the hotel on social media.

 

In addition to social media, there was also a clause that negatively distorted and spread the things you saw at the hotel and received a penalty.

 

There was also a provision that if you distort and spread not only SNS but also what you saw at the hotel, you will be penalized.

 

“As for the penalty…?” 

 

“It means expulsion from the Hunter Association. Both of you will be unable to enter the dungeon, and the DunTube channel with 2.5 million subscribers on which Min Kangjin is appearing will, of course, be closed. You were filming with the cooperation of the Hunter Association, weren’t you?”

 

“If I don’t sign here…” 

 

“Still, it’s an expulsion.  The contract for the Hunter Association’s ambassador CF will also be canceled.”

 

“…Noona…?” 

 

Min Kangjin looked at me with a sad face.

 

However, it was unacceptable for a global K-pop idol to talk about a hotel on social media, so I avoided his gaze.

 

When I looked it up last night, his music video had over 100 million views. 

 

Min Kangjin and Bang Hansoo obediently signed the autograph.

 

Min Kangjin asked me before leaving.

 

“Then can’t you give me your personal number?” 

 

“Of course, I can’t.” 

 

“Why are you speaking formally all of a sudden?”

 

I said it with a slight smile after hesitation.

 

“Just because.” 

 

When I smiled, Min Kangjin’s face turned a little red. 

 

“If you break up with that poor guy later, DM me, Noona. My account is easy to find.” 

 

Well, I’m not dating that poor guy.

 

I told Kangjin before Uncle Myunghan, Min Kangjin, and Bang Hansoo left. 

 

“That music video with 100 million views. Why do you think people like it so much?”

 

I asked, thinking of the music video covered in… chains and leather straps.

 

“Ah, that <Let’s take a ride>?”

 

Yeah. That song has horseback riding as its concept.

 

The problem is that the M5 is not riding a horse, but the setting is the horse itself.

 

“Isn’t it because the decadent beauty is well-received? Nowadays, idols are not only liked by young children. People in their 30s and 40s also like it. That’s what we did well.”

 

“As expected… Are you a beastly idol as you get older?”

 

“Of course, Noona.” 

 

Min Kangjin subtly put emphasis on the word ‘Noona’ and brought his face closer to me.

 

I quickly pulled back and spoke like a stern older sister.

 

“From now on, you won’t leave without permission when doing DunTube, right?”

 

“Of course. I don’t do it anymore. I need to protect the M5.”

 

He grinned.

 

But soon, with a cool face, he clenched his fists and said.

 

“Why am I leaving? The mistake was made by him. If I leave now, I won’t leave the producers or anything else alone.”

 

I guess it’s true that he has a rough side to begin with.

 

I nodded and saw off the guests in room 301 and room 302.

 

It was fortunate that there would be no danger at all, even for two low-level hunters, because they were going out with Secretary Myunghan. 

 

Now, then, should I prepare for a new guest?

 

“Toto. I’m going to show you a video from now on, so can you show the video by magic when a guest comes in?”

 

“Yes, yes, it is possible!”

 

Toto, our employee who likes to work, responded loudly, but I was a little worried.

 

This much…I wondered if they would like beast idols. 

 

But a few days after that.

 

Such concerns turned out to be insignificant.

 

“Crazy! Strong muscles! Splitting thighs is the best! Oppa, take meee! I think my heart will burst because of youuuu!” 

 

The fairy king, who introduced herself as 4,000 years old, praised Oppa’s muscles at the banquet hall, where Toto embodied M5’s music video realistically with illusion magic. 

 

Her flushed cheeks looked like they were about to explode, and her delicate wings fluttered like seasoning sprinkled over chicken in golden dust. 

 

“Aagh! Help me! A respirator, respiratorrrr! oppaaaagh!”

 

I don’t think it’s ‘Oppa’ in the first place.

 

* * *

 

Han Woohyun, who had business at the association, saw that the elevator coming down from the measurement room was blocked and went down the stairs with Kang Sojin. 

 

“So that’s what I’m saying. These days, in this monster world, there are articles about hotels floating around? The same goes for the message to the hunters to come into the hotel, shouldn’t we tell the boss about this?”

 

As Kang Sojin went down the stairs, she kept talking about the hotel.

 

She has been completely focused on the hotel ever since she came back from the dungeon of the Asmodian Castle.

 

“I asked about it, but she said it was done on purpose for publicity.” 

 

“Oh, you’re in touch with her. As expected… Could you please give me her personal number as well?” 

 

Kang Sojin’s eyes shone brightly, but Han Woohyun firmly refused.

 

“I heard that giving a personal number to a customer is fatal for a self-employed person. “

 

“Why does she keep in touch with the team leader?”

 

When Kang Sojin made a puzzled expression, he paused as he entered the hallway on the first floor.

 

“Because… we’re close.”

 

As he deliberately left out the word friend, he felt his face heat up.

 

It was a face Kang Sojin didn’t notice.

 

“Are you close? Really? You don’t have any friends.”

 

How does she know that?

 

Han Woohyun didn’t know that all guild members knew that he often commutes to the guild on weekends, saying he would work on reports himself.

 

“But why is it so crowded there?”

 

Han Woohyun pointed near the elevator.

 

There was a large crowd there.

 

Most of them were people with filming equipment, and some seemed to be gathered by Hunter Association staff to watch.

 

The elevator seemed to be out of service because of that.

 

A man next to the elevator was sitting in a simple chair, getting his makeup done with a delicate brush.

 

“Ah. Isn’t today the Hunter Association CF shooting day? That’s why it seems like they’re gathered. The person appearing today is Min Kangjin, so it looks like there are a lot of staff. He’s so handsome, really. I’ll take a picture and post it in a group chat.”

 

“Min Kangjin?”

 

“Don’t you know Min Kang-jin? He’s a global star. The leading figure of K-pop! M5! Although he left M5 this time, there are rumors that his personality is also crazy because he posted pictures of the members having dinner together and cheering each other on. It turns out that all the nonsense about leaving the site while on DunTube was all click bait! He’s a guy who doesn’t miss anything in dancing, singing, and acting. Oh, I also have no other wish if I can get Min Kangjin’s autograph once…”

 

He listened to Kang Sojin with one ear and looked at his phone with the other.

 

Hunter Association President Kim Junsoo

 

Korea’s proud ranking No. 1! If you come, you should ask me to buy food. Where are you secretly going? Hmph!

 

(Picture.)

 

In the photo sent by the president of the association, he and Kang Sojin were taken from the back.

 

He turned from his cell phone and looked around.

 

As expected, Kim Junsoo was smiling brightly behind him and waving his hand.

 

He was at close range, but he didn’t even feel any presence.

 

‘As expected, is it because he’s S-Class?’

 

Han Woohyun was a little surprised.

 

“Does our Junior Hunter Woohyun want Min Kangjin’s autograph? You should get an autograph, then!”

 

“Huh? President of the Association… Yes? No, that’s…!”

 

Kim Junsoo put his hand on Han Woohyun’s shoulder and walked with Kang Sojin, who was bewildered, to the location where the CF was being filmed.

 

Han Woohyun didn’t know why the president of the association was pretending to be close to him these days.

 

Although he seems light, he is secretly mysterious on the inside.

 

As soon as Kim Junsoo appeared on the set, the staff moved away.

 

Min Kangjin, who looked somewhat tired, also greeted the president of the association with a bright face.

 

The two had a friendly conversation as if they knew each other’s faces, and Kang Sojin, who was standing behind him, seemed to scream inwardly.

 

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, President!”

 

“That’s what I’m saying. The other day, the sudden visit of our secretary must have surprised you a little, but thank you for your cooperation.”

 

“What do you mean thank you? But…”

 

Min Kangjin looked around and said in a low voice.

 

“Aren’t you going to give me the hotel owner’s personal number? Really? Why…? I got really close with Noona.”

 

However, no matter how low he lowered his voice, only Han Woohyun, an S-Class hunter, could hear him.
