Chapter 917 – Side Story – Always on Your Side (2)

Hye-eun and I crossed the rough road that no one travels on and reached the top of the mountain.

How will Hye-eun accept my relationship with me, who will be mixing with more and more women in the future? I was waiting for that answer.

“Do you remember the day Taekyung first told you that I would become a hunter?”

“… I think it was when I was in elementary school.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Fortunately, it seemed like my memory was correct and Hye-eun nodded in the affirmative.

“Then, do you know why I decided to become a hunter?”

“I said I would become a hunter. “Hye-eun, when you asked me what my dream was, and I said I would become a hunter, I said I wanted to do that too.”

“… You remembered. “I thought you’d forgotten it because it was so long ago.”

What… My memories of elementary school were a time when so many things happened to me.

My older sister, Eunyoung, who retired as an active hunter, moved into the house next door to me with Hye-eun, and Hye-eun and I, who were similar in age, became fast friends.

… And the tragedy in Chuncheon City and the dream of becoming a hunter. The memories of those days remain vivid in my mind even now, even after ten years have passed.

“Actually, I’ve known it since then. Since men do not have the ability to awaken, no matter how much he aims to be a hunter, Taekyung cannot become the hunter who protects others, as you say.”

“… Okay. “Your father was also a male hunter, so you probably know.”

“Huh. That’s why I decided to become a hunter. Anyway, it seemed like Taekyung would never break his stubbornness to become a hunter even if I was against it. In that case, I would rather become a hunter and make Taekyung’s dream come true instead.”

“…”

“But now…” There is no need to do that anymore. Now Taekyung is much stronger than me. Although he is still small, he is already the guild leader of a guild.”

“… That’s right.”

Two years ago, could I have imagined that I would be able to reach such a high position?

At that time, I was frustrated and despairing at the reality of men not being able to gain the ability to awaken, so I probably couldn’t even dream of a future like this.

‘In the end, Hye-eun’s role in making me this far is probably the biggest one.’

If it weren’t for Hye-eun who happened to visit my house on the day I first gained the awakening ability, it would have taken quite a long time before I could visit the Hunter Guild for the first time.

Maybe, instead of living my life with the women I want every day like I do now, I might be living the life of a male prostitute who only gives me a lot of points.

Because of Hye-eun’s deep affection, she was ready to have her first experience with me at any time, so she had the courage to take her first step to the Hunter Guild, and thanks to that, she was able to meet Cha Yu-ri and Si-hee in time. Br〉

If I hadn’t waited to form a relationship with another hunter at the Hunter Autonomous Association that day.

If only my rise to C-level hunter had been delayed and my first expedition to the abandoned village had been delayed even by a day.

Instead of saving Cha Yu-ri and Si-hee, I will still live without knowing their existence.

‘I wouldn’t have been able to meet the relationships that started there.’

The relationship between Eunyoung’s sister and Cheon Ji-hee that was connected to Hye-eun, the relationship between Min-ah and CEO Seo Ok-hee that was connected to Cha Yu-ri, and the relationship between Eun-byeol and Do Ye-hee that was connected to Si-hee’s relationship are all almost gone.

Looking at it this way, most of my life as a hunter was actually created by Hye-eun.

“Taekyung.”

“Yes.”

“I’m telling you again in case you’ve forgotten, but I’ve always been on your side from the beginning.”

“…”

“And it will continue to be that way. Forever and forever. Taekyung will continue to help you as much as possible if you need anything to make your dreams come true. Because I decided to do it that way from the beginning.”

“… Yes, Hye-eun.”

“Well, I don’t particularly hate it either! Tae, I’m thinking about Tae-kyung having sex with other women again… Oh, I feel strangely excited…”

“Huh?”

“Well, that’s right, right? In the end, Tae-kyung will soon become a man with a devilish nature that any female hunter would want to hug, and by that time, the fact that I was the one who had her first experience with a man with the same devilish nature as Tae-kyung would be a source of pride… Isn’t that right?”

“… Yes, you might think so.”

If you think about it, Hye-eun also had the tendency to be a voyeur.

Of course, she was bound to be dissatisfied with the fact that her personal time with me was decreasing, but it also meant that Hye-eun didn’t just dislike the number of women she had.

The reason why Hye-eun’s voyeuristic nature arose was because she was the first to discover my value and the first to have sex with me.

The more love I receive from female hunters, the more I am filled with the superior feelings Hye-eun has in my heart… It was like a castle wall with such a strange structural principle.

“Thank you, Hye-eun. “I’m glad you said that.”

“… Huh. I too, Taekyung, thank you for being honest. “If Taekyung thought you should do it anyway, it wouldn’t have mattered if you didn’t consult me, because he told me this first.”

“Of course I should say it. Because I want to continue to be with you in the future, Hye-eun.”

“Continuing together… Yes, I wish I could continue to be with Taekyung…”

I don’t know if it will be in the next few years or decades. Hye-eun will probably be by my side forever, no matter how much time passes.

It was the moment when I became convinced by her answer a little while ago.

‘I wish I could at least register my marriage and let you know how I feel.’

No matter what, I couldn’t just list Hye-eun as my wife on the family register. It’s true that Hye-eun is a precious person to me, but that’s not enough for her to leave other women alone and give her special treatment.

But I wanted to somehow repay Hye-eun, who told me that she would stay with me forever. If possible, in a sure way to prove to her that you love her.

“Tae, Tae-kyung.”

“Huh?”

“Taekyung, you… “You don’t plan on breaking up with people other than me, do you?”

“… Huh. However, this is a story only when the other party gives permission like Hye-eun did.”

“I think Yuri and Mina will probably give permission… Jihee, I’m not sure yet…”

Well. That remains to be seen.

In their own way, Cha Yu-ri and Min-a are people who have a high affinity for me just as much as Hye-eun, but whether they can be satisfied with the status of ‘one of many women loved by me’ is another story. Still, the selfish desire to be with everyone as long as possible still remained. We will have to keep working hard to achieve this.

And Hye-eun, who reminded me of her complex concerns with her unexpected words, was suddenly muttering something in her serious voice.

“Registering your marriage must be burdensome for Taekyung… Well, then at least…”

“Hye-eun?”

“Ah, huh! Tae, Tae-kyung! Ho, by any chance… Well, if it’s a difficult request, you can refuse it…”

“Huh?”

“I, I today… It’s a dangerous day…”

“… “Dangerous day?”

“That… Because it’s the first day of ovulation, yeah…”

… Ah.

They said it was a dangerous day, but for a moment I didn’t understand. Because I usually only had sex based on safe days, not dangerous days.

Even that stopped bothering me at all from the day I was able to control my sperm concentration.

Anyway, if you ejaculate with the sperm concentration set to 0%, you don’t have to worry about pregnancy no matter how much you ejaculate, whether it’s a dangerous day or a safe day.

“Are you okay. Because I can decide whether to get pregnant or not. “My arousal ability can be properly controlled in that direction, so if it’s because you’re worried about getting pregnant, you don’t have to worry.”

“Well, it’s not like that…”

“Huh?”

“I, I… Taekyung, your child… Well, I feel like I want it, so…”

… Ah.

I certainly didn’t expect that Hye-eun would make this suggestion first.

“Actually, today’s date coincided with my ovulation day. Now, I also want to ask Tae-kyung to have a child with you…”

“… That’s why.”

“Tae, if a child is born between Tae-kyung and me, it will be proof that I was the first to love… I want to have at least that evidence…”

“Okay…”

It would definitely serve as evidence. A child born between two people can only be created if one truly intends to spend the rest of his life with the other person.

It was also a good story for me because they say that couples with children have a lower divorce rate than couples without children.

“Ah, I will take responsibility for the child and raise it myself! Taekyung, since you are also the guild leader, you must be so busy that you don’t even have time to take care of your child! So, you don’t need to feel too burdened…”

“…”

“Well, if this doesn’t work, there’s nothing we can do… Just because I refuse doesn’t mean I hate Taekyung or anything like that…”

… Rejection is nonsense.

On the contrary, if it was Hye-eun’s suggestion like this, I wanted to talk about it first.

Now that Hye-eun and I had become guild leaders and had reached the highest level as hunters, there was no need to delay leaving a token of our love.

And when we have a child, I will probably be even more at ease than I am now.

There was nothing more certain than a token of love between the two to connect the relationship between me and Hye-eun, which cannot be bound by marriage.

“Yes, Hye-eun. “Let’s have a child.”

“… Me, really?! Are you really going to do it?!”

“Rather, it was a story I wanted to tell from my side. Until now, I was putting it off because I thought Hye-eun would be a burden to you, and it would also interfere with her life as a hunter… “I don’t think there’s any need to delay now.”

“Thank you, Taekyung!”

Hye-eun hugs my body with all her might, with tearful eyes.

I also hugged her body tightly with both arms and whispered into her childhood friend’s ear.

“I will take responsibility for you today and get you pregnant unconditionally. “I don’t know how to sleep at all, Kang Hye-eun.”

“Uh, uh…”

It was a somewhat tense voice and a somewhat cute nod.
