Chapter 188 – What the Hell Is That Guy?

As expected, it was Kim Si-eun who approached me.
She walked towards me with a gentle smile.

“Hello~”
“Hello.”
“Nice to meet you~ You are Mr. Choi Seong-gyu.”
“Thank you for remembering.”
“You’re a fan who cares for me, so it’s only natural that you remember me~”

I bet this woman wouldn’t even remember the name of one of the fans who came to the fan meeting earlier, except for me.

“By the way, can you stay in a place like this?”

Although the hotel has many other guests, at least 30 of them are her fans.
After the fan meeting a little while ago, I wondered if it was okay to hang out in a place like this.

“Actually, no. She sneaked out.”
“Do you not know? Why?”
“I saw Hunter-sama standing here. So…”
“…”

I looked at Kim Si-eun quietly.
I could see her dark insides lurking like snakes behind her smiling face.
I couldn’t read anything like that in my previous life.
It was just amazing that a woman with such a strong aura liked me and approached me.

It was the same today.
Having spotted her prey, she boldly rushes into action.

One thing she didn’t know was that I was no longer the Choi Seong-kyu of her previous life.

“You must be tired from today’s fan meeting, so hurry up and rest.”

So I nodded her head and turned around.
And without looking back, I walked in a straight line towards the elevator.

I felt a keen gaze on my back.
For some reason, I felt as if the backboard was on fire.

But regardless, I got on the elevator.

Someone said “It’s Kim Si-eun!” I saw the few people who were still in the hotel rushing towards her.

I closed the elevator door and sighed.

‘I can’t get caught even though I know.’

I checked her special ability through her ‘her scout’.

‘Extortion of life force’.

It was clear that if I spent her time with her as in her previous life, I would be robbed of her life force.
As I guessed, this ‘extortion of life force’ didn’t seem to take away my energy permanently.
It must be damage that can be recovered over time.
But that was also the story of the same Hunter, and even that would be difficult for ordinary people.
Without even realizing it, his energy is being taken away by that woman.
The fact that I wouldn’t notice it for the rest of my life was the more terrifying part.

【A new quest has been created.】

================================

Goal: NTL Kim Si-eun.
Deadline: One week from the date of accepting the quest
Difficulty: C
Kim Si-eun’s Weakness: Rival Kim Rua

Success Reward: EXP, Random Skill Acquisition Rights

Failure Penalty: Return to NTR’s Cursed Life, Death

================================

Since I met Si-eun Kim, of course, the quest was created.
I saw her weak point.

‘Rua Kim…?’

Given the surname Kim, it seemed that she was Korean, but her name itself was exotic.
Seeing that it was written as a rival, I thought she might be the same celebrity, but I didn’t know the name.

It might be natural that I don’t know, since I myself don’t have much interest in celebrities.

If it was a celebrity, it would be something to search for.
And I searched for ‘Kim Rua’ on her cell phone, and I was able to find her information very easily.

In the photo, she had an exotic and very individual appearance, just like her name.
The expression of individuality was secondary, and it was very beautiful.
Her swarthy skin, large eyes and thick lips were features not often seen in Korean faces.

The reason could be known from the parents’ names written on the profile.
Her father is Korean, but her mother has a foreign name.
It was probably mixed with South American blood.
Seeing her parents’ names written side by side on her profile, it seemed that her parents were also well-known in their own fields.

“Hmm…”

He succeeded in meeting Kim Si-eun and receiving her quest.
And immediately she showed interest in me, but I couldn’t get along with her even after seeing her ability of ‘stealing her life force’.

If so, I thought it would be better to start this quest from the female side, which is Kim Si-eun’s weakness.

It was only natural that the man had no name.
Because Kim Si-eun’s man is not one.
The last I saw of her was of her in bed with several men.

Although Kim Si-eun’s fan meeting was boring, and the lunch box she had to pay for 50,000 won was tasteless, she made Kim Si-eun aware of me, and it was a night that I could be satisfied with just the fact that she received the quest.

#

When I got home, I did some more research on Kimrua.
Why does Kim Si-eun consider her her rival?

The answer did not take long to be found.

Rising star.
It seemed that there was a weekly vote on a popular model on a fashion site.

There, Rua Kim had been in first place for two months.
After slowly gaining recognition, Sieun Kim rose from the bottom and was the model to rise the most in the rankings, but even her rise in the rankings came to a halt a few weeks ago.
It has always been in second place under Kim Rua.

So, the explosive rise in its own way was blocked by Kimrua and could not rise any further.

Rua Kim had an unusual history.
Above all, she, like Kim Si-eun, was a hunter.

It wasn’t just that she gave up her hunter and took her modeling job.
She was noticed by chance and started working as a model as a part-time job. Because of the few photos she took and the short video that appeared on YouTube, she became a huge topic and popular.

Even so, she still had a Hunter as her number one choice.
She was able to confirm the article in several places that she said so.

Because I saw her picture, I could understand why she suddenly became so popular.
She was not just beautiful, but very charming and full of personality.

It was only natural that such a woman would be enthusiastic, especially among young people who are sensitive to trends.

‘How should I approach…’

Luckily, I was able to meet Kim Si-eun because she held her fan meeting.
However, it was difficult for Kim Rua to find her way to meet her.

If she was just a hunter, she might have been able to contact her in her own way, but these days, her interest from other places has increased so much that she is not even doing her social media activities.

While surfing the web, focusing on Kimrua, I finally found out one piece of information.
She followed the link of her and her contracted company and found that her event was underway with her latest hottest star as her main character.

It was a shoot for her clothing commercial, and the idea was to find a male model to shoot her commercial with her.
In other words, if you are selected here, you will be given a chance to shoot with Kim Lua alone.

‘He really does everything.’

Participating in a celebrity fan meeting, this time applying for a model selection…

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of any other way to contact Kim Lua.
To be honest, even if I applied, there was little chance that I would be selected.

Because I have no modeling experience at all.
I had never even had a similar part-time job.

Anyway, after filling out the application form, I looked for a full body picture on my PC and cell phone that I was told to attach to the form.
However, I don’t usually take pictures often, so I couldn’t find such a picture at all.

“Ugh…”

Unfortunately, I went in front of the mirror and immediately took a full body picture.
And attached it to the model supporting documents.

I wondered if a picture I took like this would be picked, but I didn’t have the jaw to know how to take a picture to gain an advantage in applying for a model.
Anyway, if it doesn’t work, I’ll stop looking for another way.

Because there is still a week left.
If contact with Kim Lua was difficult, it was okay to start digging into Kim Si-eun’s side.

“Si-eun, what are you doing today? You don’t look good.”

Kim Il-seok, the representative of the modeling agency to which Kim Si-eun belongs, asked.

“No, it’s nothing…”
“It’s nothing, what else? Are you doing this for a man?”
“Man… Well, I don’t know if I should consider that…”

Kim Si-eun was thinking of a man named Choi Seong-gyu whom she saw at the fan meeting today.
He came to his fan meeting, which only 30 people were allowed to enter, but when he actually stood in front of himself, he had a sour face.

He was a face that even forced autographs, and he didn’t even try to take pictures.

Crucially, when they found him alone and approached him, he turned himself away and walked away.

I didn’t understand the series of things.
Literally, I couldn’t figure out the reason rather than hurt my pride.

Even so, Kim Si-eun couldn’t bear it because she cared about the man.
