Chapter 300 – How Grateful I Am, to the Point of Tears!

At first, it was just a hunting attempt to avoid getting caught. However, when I was rejected by the Demon King for the first time, my heart was bitter, and when Se-hee pretended not to know me one after another, it felt like I was beaten in the head.

“Hey?”

Oh right.

Thinking over the shock, I forgot that there was a woman right next to me. He answered her with a sullen face.

“Yes.”

“What are you going to do? Do you want to play with us? Oh, do you have a companion?”

Before speaking, he looked at the demon lord and his party once.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The three women glanced over and talked about something. I noticed the blue, black, and brown eyes looking sideways at me, and I thought I should of course reject it.

“Sorry.”

“Ah, then, would you like to ask your companions?”

“No, I’m coming alone with my girlfriends.”

“Field? Ah yes. All right. Sorry.”

I gestured to her politely bowing her head and apologizing to her that it was okay.

And when the woman left, my heart was somewhat restored.

“Whoa… !”

I took a deep breath and approached them again.

“Hey, red-haired woman!”

The person I spoke to this time was Mina, who was in the last turn. When I called, the crumbly bobbed red hair looked back at me.

“Yes?”

As she turned around, her face had a smile made of smoke.

“What are you doing?”

Until now, it was quite rare for Mina to act as she treated me. But even in the few cases, most of them were to play such a character in order to have a relationship with me.

She asked, still believing that she was playing a kind older sister.

“Hey, it’s because my ideal type is a tall woman. Could you give me your number?”

“My number? Phone number?”

“Yes yes! Could you give me your phone number?”

It wasn’t until the end that she thought she would succeed in hunting. But that was an illusion. Mina pretended to be sorry and said with her face that she raised her lips while frowning her eyebrows.

“I’m sorry, what should I do? I don’t have a phone.”

“Yes? You don’t have a phone?”

“Yes. Oh, and no home phone or social media. No email either. I’m sorry, what should I do?”

“Then hey, at least a home address to send a letter to…”

“What should I do? I don’t even have a home.”

“…”

“And it’s kind of like giving out your address to someone you’re meeting for the first time, isn’t it? Isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is.”

“Thank you for noticing, darling. Then can we go now?”

“Yes. Sorry.”

“I’m sorry. We’ll meet again when it’s meant to be.”

Even Mina rejected her like that, and she walked down the street with Demon King and Sehee.

“No, I… !”

She reached out her hand and tried to call out to those who were ahead. However, fearing her rejection, she eventually lowered her hand.

Done. Let’s stop.

As she thought to herself, she let out a deep sigh. It was decided to enter the sea tomorrow, and in the meantime, I waited for the Demon King and the women to come back here.

“…”

“…”

“…”

But they didn’t turn around and just walked the way they were going. As if you don’t even care about me.

They were usually very playful with me. Even knowing that, she couldn’t hold back her sadness.

I turned around and walked to the other side of the group. There was no particular place I wanted to go. I just wanted to go the other way.

Without thinking, I found a bench on the street corner of the market. Tourists who stopped by here approached and sat down on a chair made for them to sit down and rest. Then I thought about why they did it.

I came to this trip and thought about what had happened so far. He just laughed and chatted with everyone, carried our luggage, and told us that it was okay even if the dorm was a bit shabby. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything I did wrong.

I was treated like this even though I hadn’t done anything wrong. At this thought, gloom and melancholy slowly turned into irritation.

Some time has passed since I sat on the bench. I’m not sure how long it’s been. The irritable head forgot about time and just sat there resting its chin on its hand.

And then a familiar voice was heard.

“Were you here?”

Soon after, I saw three familiar pairs of feet in front of my eyes.

“What if I go that far? How do you find your luggage?”

“It took me a while to find my brother.”

“I found it, Jiheon. Why are you not answering the phone?”

Phone call?

Hearing that, I took out my smartphone from the inside pocket of my coat and checked it. There were several calls from Mawang, Sehee, and Minah’s numbers.

I put the phone back in my pocket and apologized.

“Ah… Sorry…”

“All right. I also enjoyed Jim a lot.”

Did you enjoy it?

“Your brother was very cute earlier. I know?”

Cute?

“Jiheon. I bought it here to give Jiheon.”

What Mina offered was black sugar milk tea. It must have been bought when he was away from me.

I honestly didn’t want to get it. I was hurt, but it was a shame that the three of us bought drinks without knowing it. Still, I accepted it for the sincerity I brought.

“Thank you.”

“No. This is the price for letting me see the cute Jiheon.”

“It’s a price…”

After hurting my heart, these drinks are the price.

I didn’t even want to taste it, so I just put it down next to the bench I was sitting on. After seeing this, the demon king made a fuss and sat down next to me.

“What are you doing?! Isn’t that the drink that Jim, Se-hee, and Min-ah bought for you, who fell in love at first sight! It will taste sweet too.”

Saying that, he lifted up the brown sugar milk tea he had put down. Holding a drink full of black starch beads inside, she immediately held it out to me.

“Ruler! Have a drink, come on! It will be delicious!”

With a bright voice, the demon lord thrusts a straw from a drinking cup into my mouth. I avoided the straw that pricked my lips because I hated everything.

“Don’t stab me.”

“Ahaha, you always stab Jim. With a meat stick, too.”

“Noisy. And stop poking around. It’s dangerous.”

“Haha! Don’t do that, go ahead and drink it. Hurry!”

“Oh, I really hate it.”

“Why but? Could it be that the Jims were upset earlier because they pretended not to know?”

“…”

I wish I could express my feelings by saying that I was upset. But the demon king took my silence in a different way.

“Oh, are you mad?”

The demon king thought of my feelings on his own, and poked my lips with a straw with more excitement.

“Isn’t that what you bought?”

“…”

“Come on, drink, come on! Are you ignoring our servants’ sincerity?”

“… Stop, please.”

“Ah! Got it! Would you like to feed it by mouth? Aren’t you really cool too?”

“No. So stop it. I feel really bad.”

“Okay, okay. Wait a bit Jim will feed you by mouth.”

She lowered the cup she was holding out to me. Then she put the straw in her mouth and sucked in the contents. Acting like that without knowing my speed, I couldn’t help but get angry.

“Sister. I think you are really angry.”

“Sohee, please stop.”

At this time, Sehee and Mina noticed my feelings and stopped the demon king. But already she was sticking out her milk tea-soaked lips to me.

“Um~♥”

“Stop it!”

Eventually, she couldn’t stand it and grabbed her milk tea cup and threw it on the floor.

Pak!

The plastic cap came off on impact, and light brown liquid spilled onto the market floor. Tapioca pearls scattered on the floor bounced like rubber balls, representing my bursting heart.

As if spilled milk tea couldn’t be contained, I tried to pour out my bursting emotions to them anyway.

“What is it really!”

I got up from my seat, not paying attention to what others were listening to.

“Gulp, now, are you sleeping?”

The demon king who swallowed the contents of his mouth called me with a puzzled face. I asked as if shouting at her and the women who rejected her earlier.

“Hey! The last time you guys were hunting for me, you accepted it! I’ve never had a hard rejection like you guys! But why, really!”

“No, brother.”

Sehee called me with a pale face. But I couldn’t contain my anger.

“What? Are you calling the police? What have I done! It’s just hunting as you guys asked! That was the story Sehee brought up first!”

“Sorry…”

“Sorry? I’m sorry, did you buy me a drink like that? Without even saying sorry?”

“…”

At my words, she bit her lower lip hard and bowed her head. Seeing her like that, I glared at Mina.

“And Minah!”

“Sorry.”

“Noisy! What else are you I went to the hunting bar with you and got hunted! But what? Don’t have a phone? No social media, no e-mail, no home? Even if you don’t have sincerity, you don’t have much!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Jiheon.”

“So you thought so too? No matter how much I get hurt, just one drink is enough? Thank you! Thank you so much! I am so grateful that it brings me to tears!”

There were really tears in my eyes. It wasn’t because I was really grateful, it was because I was so excited that my tear ducts were compressed along with my blood pressure.

“Sin, sin, sorry, sum, nida…”

Minah bowed her head in response to her furious words. Her hand holding her drink was trembling slightly.

“Hey, you.”

The demon king got up cautiously and called me.

“Hey, don’t be so angry. Jim ordered everything.”

“What, are you the worst?”

She had something to say to her, who had already turned her white face pale and made her blue. I laughed as I looked at the blue eyes that trembled like an earthquake.

“Yeah, of course not. You are the worst I did not know? It’s really amazing that I didn’t know, it’s really amazing.”

“That is…”

“What. Why. What. Say it. You’re listening When did I ever stop you guys talking? Tell me quickly.”

“That, Jiheon. I’ll take your mouth off, if you forgive me for this,”

“Go into the water?”

It was so absurd that I was stunned. He sighed and squeezed his lungs out.

“Under! Really. Did you think it was because I got it? It’s just that I can do it anytime. But it was just a joke. Because you guys hunted me, I also hunted you guys. That’s what you did.”

“…”

The demon king also bit his lip hard and bowed his head. Seeing that, I thought to myself that sisters are sisters, but I didn’t let go of my anger.

“Hey.”

This time, I called all of Mawang, Se-hee, and Min-ah. I sincerely asked the girls who couldn’t help it.

“Do you guys love me?”

“Oh, yes, I love you.”

“Me too, brother…”

“Me too, Jiheon.”

Perhaps it was this time, the women lifted their heads and looked at me with bright faces. But what they saw was my stern expression.

“Don’t lie to me, really.”

“No, that’s it.”

“Brother?”

“No, Jiheon.”

“But why? Why do you always say to sleep when we meet? Uh? Are you guys human? Or is it a beast? What is it, really?”

Whatever happened, I poured out my usual complaints.

“And we came on a trip today. Then let’s enjoy the trip, please. Then no? It’s better to just come out and play like this than to stay at home and just do that. No. No.”

The sudden thought made me laugh out loud.

“Even when you go out, you guys only think about that. You say dirty things every day. As long as there is a secret room, they say let’s do it right away. Do you guys really love me?”

At my words, the women opened their mouths to say the same thing as before. Even though I shouted first before that.

“Or do you just think of me as a sexist?”

“!”

“!”

“!”

Everyone widened their eyes and tried to deny my words. But I hate to hear what they have to say. I turned my head to find the market exit.

“Okay, I’m going home now. So you guys know what to buy for dinner. See you at the inn.”

I just said that and left the spot. I heard their voices calling me, but I didn’t care at all and walked away quickly.

“Haaaaa… ! What should I do, really?”

“It’s all because of my sister. Because my sister insisted on turning it down.”

“Is this Jim’s responsibility? You said you liked it too!”

“We shouldn’t fight among ourselves. Isn’t it first to ease Jiheon’s mood right now?”

“Ugh. That’s right. I’m sorry, Sehee. It’s because Jim is nervous.”

“No. I’m sorry too. Because I’m excited.”

“What should I do now, Sohee?”

“Why are you looking at the luggage?”

“Your sister and brother dated the longest.”

“Then there must have been many fights, right?”

“I’ve never seen Jiheon so angry.”

“It’s ruined.”

“It’s ruined.”

“First of all, how about buying a street for dinner as instructed?”

“I do. You might think of something good as you go.”

“Great. Come to think of it, how about beef?”

“That’s good, because meat is the truth.”

“If it’s beef, oppa will be angry too, right?”

“I hope so. Just in case you don’t know, I’ll choose Korean beef grade A+.”
