These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 7

2. I’m about to quit being a fan

I suppressed my sudden thoughts.

But, I really couldn’t tell from the photo…

Kang Soo-hyun was very tall and seemed to be getting taller as he approached me. Han Yi Jin was not short either, but he was one head taller. His brown hair reflected by the sun looked soft, and curled with curls. 

The more I looked at him, the more he looked like a big golden retriever.

“Eunho hyung?”

“Oh.”

Kang Soo-hyun, who opened his brown eyes wide, looked at me curiously, and this made me suddenly came to my senses.

I was currently disguised as Yoon Eun-ho, Kang Yoo-hyun’s high school friend and an A-class hunter of the Odin Guild. Yoon Eun-ho, who has good affinity, also had a good relationship with Kang Soo-hyun.

Just when I thought I was right on target, Kang Soo-hyun’s face looked at me undoubtedly. Han Yi-jin’s skills were so impressive that there was no fear of being caught.

“What’s the matter? I’m here to treat you to a meal.”

When I said something deftly, Kang Soo-hyun quickly changed his expression  and responded.

“Really? You’re going to treat me to a meal?”

“Yeah, man.”

I looked around stealthily while patting Kang Soo Hyun’s shoulder intimately. As expected, no one looked at us suspiciously.

After Kang Yoo-hyun returned from the gate, he became the centre of attention, especially for the media. Because of that, his younger brother Kang Soo-hyun lived like an outsider at school, and that seemed to be true.

I controlled my ability to show illusions and auditory hallucinations only in Kang Soo-hyun’s eyes to increase the duration. If someone who knew Kang Soo-hyun noticed it, the risk of getting caught would increase, but luckily I didn’t have to worry about that.

But it’s better to get out of here quickly. As I thought so, I tried not to look awkward and turned my head.

“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to some meat.”

I turned around very haughtily, but no one seemed to be following me. Eventually I turned around awkwardly.

“Hyung, that….”

“…Yes?”

An unpleasant feeling creeped in. Kang Soo-hyun looked at me strangely and tilted his head.

“Did you put on perfume?”

“Huh?”

What is he talking about? I looked at him in confusion.

“No, I didn’t wear any perfume.”

That crazy bastard Jang Tae-san prepared well. He recorded his every move and gave it to me so I could disguise myself as Yoon Eun-Ho, a person whom I had never met. Thanks to this, I had to remember everything about Yoon Eun-ho all night.

According to the data, Yoon Eun-ho, who is like a kind-hearted hyung next door, is easygoing and doesn’t wear perfume. Of course I didn’t bother doing that either.

“Hmm.”

However, I was surprised to see Kang Soo-hyun scanning all over my body.

D-do I smell…? What the hell do I smell like?

“All right, let’s go, hyung.”

“Oh? Yeah.”

Then he reached out his hand and grabbed my wrist. I was surprised again. This is because illusions and hallucinations do not change a person’s  actual appearance.

What if he noticed that Yoon Eun-ho and Han Yi-jin’s wrists are completely different? I was worried about it, but Kang Soo-hyun smiled at me. It was a completely harmless smile.

Feeling a little relieved, I walked along with Kang Soo-hyun. The kidnapping went more smoothly than I thought.

“Where do you want to go?”

“Go wherever hyung wants.”

“…Well.”

I was a little surprised because I had already thought of 500 million excuses if  Kang Soo-hyun asked me where to go.

However, thanks to this, I was able to take Kang Soo-hyun to the place I thought of. It was a deserted alley I saw before going to his  school. There were only old shopping malls and factories nearby, so there were  very few people visiting, even during the day. Thus, it was the perfect place to do something rough.

No, that doesn’t mean I’m going to be harsh on him. In the original story, Han Yi-jin boisterously kidnapped Kang Soo-hyun in public and mistreated him,  when he had  not awakened his ability yet, but I have no intention of doing that. I will treat him gently. For my future convenience.

“Is there a famous restaurant here?”

“…”

Kang Soo-hyun looked around with an innocent look. He didn’t even look suspicious after being dragged to a suspicious place.

He’s dead. No matter how perfect my disguise was, he was very naive. I opened my mouth, and clicked my tongue inside.

“Excuse me, Soohyun-a. No, Kang Soo-hyun.”

“Yes?”

Kang Soo-hyun’s eyes widened at my serious voice. I felt guilty at the thought of deceiving an innocent man who knew nothing.

I glanced at my wrist. Maybe he was afraid of the unfamiliar alley as Kang Soo-hyun was still holding my wrist.

Luckily, I could still look at my watch. The ten minute promise with the guild master was over. After that, I took a breath and looked at Kang Soo-hyun again.

“Actually, I’m not Yoon Eun-ho.”

“…”

“I’m sorry to deceive you, that…”

While confessing my sin, I didn’t deactivate my skill. That’s because I have made various plans depending on Kang Soo-hyun’s reaction. I wouldn’t deactivate it even if he was disgusted by me to the end. There was no need to reveal Han Yi-jin’s appearance and get myself blacklisted.

Even though he hadn’t awakened yet , Kang Soo-hyun would awaken soon and become a talented person. Since his older brother was the main character, Kang Soo-hyun, who would be by his side, will also receive his older brother’s buffs and become a great hunter. Well, after all, he would become an S class. Therefore, I should coax him well and send him back instead of making a fuss like Han Yi-jin in the original plot. That’s when I took a deep breath and opened my mouth again.

“I know.”

“…Eh?”

“I know it. That you’re not Eunho hyung.”

“…?”

Kang Soo-hyun, who spoke first, smiled as if he had anticipated it.

I was in a daze for a while, unable to understand his words.

Then I frowned as Kang-Soo Hyun’s grip on my wrist became stronger. I wondered if he was holding me not because he was afraid, but because he wanted to prevent me from escaping.

Just as the frightening thought crossed my mind, Kang Soo-hyun lowered his head and looked into my eyes.

“Is this a skill? Can’t you undo it? I want to see the real you.”

“No, that…”

Kang-Soo Hyun’s great interest confused me. His eyes stared constantly, as if to see beyond the skills covering my body.

In the original story, Kang Soo-hyun was not like this. That’s obvious.

Han Yi-jin treated Kang Soo-hyun as if he was dragging a dog before he awakened. 

If Han Yi Jin had not treated Kang Soo Hyun harshly, he would not have been beaten by Kang Yoo-hyun, who had awakened.

“Well, that’s hard.”

“Hmm.”

It’s still unclear what kind of relationship I will have with Kang-Soo Hyun, but I can’t reveal myself. It would be difficult if he tried to take revenge on me for this. So when I refused, Kang Soo-hyun’s eyes narrowed.

“Then I have a question.”

“Uh, huh?”

He was curious. What was the point of questioning a criminal who approached and kidnapped him, by pretending to be a close acquaintance? I barely opened my mouth while feeling my fingertips stiffen a bit.

“What is it?”

The corners of Kang Soo Hyun’s eyes crooked. When he smiled like that, he looked like a fox. Kang Soo Hyun, whose impression immediately changed, asked in a slow tone.

“Hyung kept smelling sweet since earlier. Would it taste sweet if I licked you?”

“…What?”

What is he talking about?

As I blinked without understanding what Kang Soo-hyun was saying, my wrist shot up in the air. Kang Soo-hyun had grabbed my wrist and lifted it. When I realised it was too late, I tried to tug on my wrist, but it didn’t even budge from such a strong force.

“Hey, wait, wait!”

I screamed in panic and Kang Soo-hyun stuck out his red tongue as if to tease me. I got to witness firsthand the moment my fingers touched Kang Soo Hyun’s tongue. My face reddened. I couldn’t stand it and screamed.

“Fu–, wait, hey!”

“…”

Surprisingly, Kang Soo-hyun’s movements stopped. Like a bitch who understands the words “wait!” For some reason, I felt relieved when he stopped. Moreover, as if I had reached the time limit, the ability that enveloped my body instantly unravelled.

“…Uh?”

Kang Soo-hyun opened his eyes wide when he saw me changing my appearance in an instant. It was a failure. I bit my lip and said in a low voice.

“Let go of me.”

“…”

“Hey.”

No matter how many times I called him, Kang Soo Hyun remained silent. He looked at me with an expressionless face. I didn’t know what he was thinking. I was annoyed and roughly twisted the wrist that was held by Kang Soo-hyun, and then he finally spoke.

“Name.”

“What?”

“If you tell me your name, I’ll let you go.”

Kang Soo-hyun, with a mischievous smile, hugged my waist with his other hand. Thanks to that, I was stuck. I shouted angrily.

“No!”

“Let me know. Yes?”

I gritted my teeth while glaring at the smiling Kang Soo-hyun. Why the hell can’t I shake him off? 

Kang Soo-hyun was certainly still an ordinary person. It was strange that even as a B-rank, who was much stronger than an ordinary person, I was trapped.

But that’s not the point now. It was because Kang Soo-hyun’s face became very close.

“Hey, stop…!”

I twisted my back as hard as I could to get out. But Kang Soo Hyun didn’t care and lowered his head further. Eventually, I couldn’t stop him and closed my eyes tightly.

“Why don’t you stop now?”

“…!”

It was Eden. I don’t know where he appeared from, but he grabbed Kang Soo-hyun’s shoulder and gave off a threatening atmosphere.

I felt relieved and annoyed at the same time. He was monitoring without me knowing.

No, but I’m quite happy. It was because Kang Soo-hyun’s unexpected behaviour was so embarrassing.

“Take your hands off.”

“I don’t want to.”

“…”

Maybe he was angry, but Eden’s face became even more grim. If I make a mistake, I think he might hit Kang Soo-hyun.

“Hey Eden, wa…”

I was going to stop him because I thought my plan would go down the drain if he hit the main character’s younger brother.

That’s when a cold voice rang out in the alley, which caused the temperature in the surrounding area to drop drastically.

“Kang Soohyun.”

“…!”

I forced my head to turn around.

A tall man was staring at us tangled together.

I looked into the man’s eyes, which were emitting a clear blue light, and cursed myself inside.

Fuck…

It was the appearance of Kang Yoo-hyun, the main character.
