Episode 7. The Destruction Ending (1)
Now, it would be fine to go in.
Kim Changho gave the password and then took the lead to enter.
It was the rich house that I used to see in movies.
The huge space was full of expensive furniture, and the interior was as nice as a five-star hotel.
Its a little chilly, perhaps because theyre just moving and everything is empty, but its all great.
Wow! Thats amazing!
High-grade hunters can buy as many houses as they want. If its Lee Heesun, ten, no, even a hundred houses are possible.
Hunter Kim Changho, can you show us the room we are staying in?
Yes. The guest room is probably on the second floor. Lets go up.
The stairs connecting the first and second floors were also very nice.
The stairs connecting the first and second floors were also very nice.
You can use any room. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom on the second floor, so you dont have to come down because your feet will hurt. Oh, the Minister is here.
Lee Beomjin appeared.
Then mom asked coldly.
How long do we have to stay here?
I dont know yet. Were going to hold a press conference today and see how people react. Even if they lose interest in her and it turns out that you can move, apartments are not allowed.
.
I will look for a new house here. Because its more comfortable for Hunter to live in. Did you tell them that you cant go to work today?
My mom nodded.
Its better to be prepared to change jobs. Theres a Hunter Specialty Hospital nearby. Youd be better off working there. The high-ranking Hunters family is treated better.
My moms face darkened.
Heesun-ah, the people of the Department of Ability will come later at 2 oclock. Until then, take a rest and read this. This is a basic guide for new hunters.
Yes.
My house is right next door. Kim Changho and I will be next door, so if anything happens, call me right away. Ill come a little before 2 oclock.
Lee Beomjin looked strangely at my mom and me before disappearing with Kim Changho.
.
Mom went to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
I stood there hesitatingly and said.
Im sorry.
My moms face suddenly looked surprised.
Why are you saying youre sorry?
We got out of the house, and I think Mom will have to change jobs Our life will change completely.
My mom shook her head right away.
Its not your fault. Im confused because its something I never imagined. Its definitely not my daughters fault. Dont feel guilty.
.
If its SSS class, its really strong, right? Come to think of it, you wont get hurt even if you get caught up in a big event like a dungeon creation or explosion. Thats right. If its high grade, you wont get sick, right? You wont get sick in the future. Even if you get hit by a car like before, you wont get hurt.
Yeah, its not me who would break, its the car.
Mom breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Yeah. Its a relief. Really.
My heart melts whenever I see my mom who thinks of me like this.
I put my head on my moms shoulder.
Mom smiled and gently stroked my hair.
My daughter But, I have to apologize. Mom to my daughter.
Yes? Mom?
I looked up.
My mom had a troubled and distressed look on her face.
I havent told you who your father is.
I heard that after hearing the conversation, mom thought he was playing with mom.
Perhaps my Moms eyes shook a little because of the direct expression.
Then you might not tell me, well. Because I dont want to tell you that your dads such a bad guy.
.
So when Minister Lee Beomjin appeared on TV, mom immediately changed the channel. And mom also hates Hunters.
.
Anyway, I really understand. But
I was looking at my Moms face and then said.
Minister Lee Beomjin said he didnt do that. It seemed like he meant it.
Mom knows it is. But all of a sudden I dont know.
Hmm.
Its been so long I dont know how to find out. No, I wonder if I really need to find out. Because we ended up breaking up anyway.
No. We need to find out. If that was a misunderstanding or someone made it up like that, then it would be very unfair to Minister Lee Beomjin.
Thats true but.
Its not supposed to be Moms fault, and thats why Mom made a mistake. Mom, no matter what happens, Im on Moms side, no matter what happens in the future. And
Even though it was kind of embarrassing, I still shouted out loud.
It must have been hard to give birth to me and raise me alone, so thank you very much. I love you, Mom!
Mom blinked and suddenly burst into tears.
Huh, why are you crying?
Mom hugged me tightly.
Youre this small But you know how to talk like an adult, and you know how to give for your Mom Ive raised you really well.
Yes. Other than being short, my mom gave birth to me well and raised me well. So dont cry.
Yeah.
Mom patted me on the back.
After she stopped crying, she caressed my cheeks and looked at me with admiring eyes.
It just reminds me of Lee Beomjin.
Because its the parents eyes.
Heesun-ah, do you not want to be a Hunter because your Mom doesnt like Hunters?
Honestly, its not thats not the reason. But even if thats not the case, I want to live a quiet and peaceful life.
Mom nodded as if she understood.
Yeah. Weve lived so well so far. But I dont think we can live like that from now on. As we heard earlier.
The minister said that even at dawn. When I asked if we couldn live a normal life like before, he said we cant. He just cut it.
Yeah, I think so.
.
The worlds only SSS class.
I will receive a lot of attention beyond my imagination.
No, Im sure its not just attention. Ugh
I lay on the sofa.
It was a rude thing to do, but for now, instead of nagging me, Mom brushed my hair.
It was a soft touch full of affection, as always.
Remember what your Mom said before? Mom lived a very difficult life in the old days, so I could hardly do anything other than work and study. I want my daughter to have a lot of different experiences, unlike your Mom.
Yes.
So when I said I would do something, my mom actively supported me with anything.
She even allowed me to go to my favorite idol singers concert the day before the exam.
Even though I didnt do it because I didnt want to screw up my exam.
Do high-level hunters live a long time? I think it would be good to experience as a hunter as well. Of course, if you really dont like it, you dont have to. Think about it while receiving basic education. Okay?
Yes.
And
My mom continued with difficulty.
Because its true that Lee Beomjin is your father No matter how you treat him, its entirely up to you, my daughter. Your Mom will be fine.
Uhm Huh?!
I jumped up and sat down.
Whats wrong?
Minister Lee Beomjin, hes very popular! Hes still single! But suddenly, a 19-year-old daughter appears! Isnt this a huge scandal? And its going to be very noisy because of my rank! I think its going to be like pouring oil over the sunlight!
Moms face turned a little pale.
if thats revealed, the past will also come out.
In the past, my mom told me the truth: she didnt want to lie to me.
They broke up without getting married and had no father or husband.
She told others that her husband died when she was pregnant while they were married.
Everyone believed my Moms words because my surname, Lee, which I inherited from my Mom, was very common.
However, if they revealed the story about my Moms past, it would be known that she was a single Mom.
If they are conservative people, they will most likely curse at my Mom.
And if my fathers identity is a minister!
It will be a huge scandal.
Ugh! I cant. Im not going to tell them that were a father and daughter.
I dont think Lee Beomjin will like it.
But it cant be helped. Actually, I havent felt it yet.
Hunter Lee Beomjin Archer was a hero of our country.
He was also considered one of the best and most respected hunters in the world.
If you were a Korean, you couldnt know the face of the president, but theres no way you wouldnt know the face of Archer.
Is it because hes such an amazing person?
I couldnt believe it, even though my Mom admitted he was my father.
He doesnt look like me at all.
Thats true, but you dont look much like me either. Youre short, too.
I glanced at my Mom.
Are you looking at your Mom like this?
Tsk.
I sat up, grumbling.
Then my Mom said,
You know, Heesun-ah. Youre a hunter and you have a high rank, maybe its because you resemble Lee Beomjin?
After the dungeon was opened, many people studied the conditions for the manifestation of this ability.
Nevertheless, there was no clear result.
There was no influence on genetics, but it wasnt clear if that was true either.
This was because sometimes parents, children or siblings were hunters together.
Thats why they say that even the F-class Hunter has an advantage in the marriage market.
I remember seeing an article like that.
Anyway, I couldnt be a normal Hunter.
Because my power comes from another world.
I dont know.
Then, shall we organize our luggage in the room first?
Yes.
I stood up and walked to the room.
Behind my back, I could hear my Mom sighing with complicated emotions.
To be honest, I also sighed.
Really Should I say good-bye for an ordinary life?
+ Chapter 2 The Destruction Ending
Lee Beomjin came 10 minutes before 2 oclock.
The bangs were pulled back, and the suit seemed to have changed into a more luxurious one.
Objectively, he was cooler than before.
How about Nahyun?
Lee Beomjin asked, looking straight toward Moms room.
Then he swept his face lightly with one hand.
Dont tell me, did he dress up like that to look good to Mom?
She says shell come out a little later. She did itso I could talk with the Minister.
I see.
Yes.
.
Lee Beomjin remained silent for a while as if he didnt know what to say.
I think just calling out the name is a bit.
It wasnt anyone else, it was my father after all.
Even though I still cant believe it.
Yeah, lets call him Hunter Lee Beomjin.
It felt too far away to call him Minister or Archer.
Of course, its the same with calling him father.
Did you have a good rest?
Yes.
Have you seen all the guides?
Yes.
Do you have any questions?
I dont.
I didnt have any specific questions because I wasnt interested, or because I was still escaping from reality.
I see.
Yes.
.
Its a little awkward.
I heard the people of the Department of Ability will come soon.
Yeah. Thats right.
I dont think you should look at me like that in front of those people.
Like that?
Its like, really really really nice?
Hunter Lee Beomjins eyes became a little bewildered.
Perhaps, do you feel uncomfortable?
A little. Not a lot.
I emphasized again that it was a little, but Hunter Lee Beomjins face hardened.
He lowered his eyes, as if greatly disappointed.
Somehow, it feels bitter.
Still, I had to say something.
Ive been thinking about it, but I wont reveal that Hunter Lee Beomjin and I are father and daughter. Please keep it a secret.
Hunter Lee Beomjin looked like he had just been hit by a lightning bolt.
