Chapter 151 – Those Left Behind (3)
“Listen. Go ahead, go to the home address written here. Because when I get home, there will be 30,000 won on my desk. I took it and took a taxi to the Black Dragon Room building. Got it Misaki?”
“Yes!”
Misaki, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was still a lively and cute child. Seong Ha-yeon saw me being nice to Misaki and sat on the bed with his face slightly frowning. I continued talking to Misaki, who smiled and nodded.
“And, if you go to the Black Dragon Room building, there will probably be people who recognize you. Then go there and tell them you’re here to get the coordinates.”
“A coordinate machine?”
“Yes. Beyond the gate, only Misaki can teleport right now, right? So, I’ll give Misaki a device that can track the coordinates from the Black Dragon’s room. If you receive it, you pick it up and return here. Do you see what I mean?”
“Yes! I understood!”
If I could just enter the coordinates, I could open the gate from the side of the Black Dragon and leave. The thought of finally being able to get out brought a smile to my face. Seong Ha-yeon also seemed happy at the thought of being able to go out, but a shadow remained on one side of her face. I sent Misaki off and sat down next to her and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“…If we go out, what should I explain to Yoo-jung now?”
Kim Yoo-jung and Ichie. I still liked the two of them. The time I spent with these two women occupied the most important axis of my life. But now Seong Ha-yeon was also very good. For the past three months, she has been my only companion. But if we went outside, we had to face reality again.
Seong Ha-yeon asked.
“Am I not going to die?”
Ichie might be angry. Senior Yoo-jeong might feel betrayed by Seong Ha-yeon and scream at her. But even considering that, we had to go back anyway. Because my family was there. Because all the people we love were there.
I said as I put my arms around her.
“I will fit together. Because I seduced you.”
“Crazy bastard.”
Seong Ha-yeon giggled and nodded her head as if she was dumbfounded by my words.

“So, are Suhyeon and Hayeon all right now?”
“Yes! You two are living happily ever after!”
Suhyeon’s mother smiled brightly at Misaki’s bright remark. Jeong Su-hyeon’s father didn’t show a happy expression, but the corner of her mouth raised slightly and wiped away tears. Ichie, who smiled brightly with her eyes moving, asked Misaki Nie, who frowned for a moment.
“Sweetie?”
“Yes! Sweet and sweet!”
Kim Yoo-jung said while poking her reason with her arm.
“It makes sense. Misaki originally sees everything as a flower garden.”
“Ah.”
Ichie nodded her head as if he finally understood. Jeong Su-hyeon’s family did not seem to care whether Jeong Su-hyeon and Seong Ha-yeon were living happily or promiscuously through the Juicy Training. Just the fact that I was alive was enough for me.
Shortly after his family passed away, Lee Jun-hyeok contacted the Diamond Club and informed them that Jung Soo-hyeon and Seong Ha-yeon could be saved. The Diamond Club responded that they would immediately prepare a coordinate measuring machine and even prepare to open the gate. Seeing that things were progressing swiftly, Ichie, who had a preconceived notion about the Diamond Club, said this.
“The work is done quickly.”
“This is cheaper than death compensation.”
“Ah.”
Ichie nodded his head. The Diamond Club side intended to use this opportunity to renew their image. Return of the hero who captured the terrorist. While bringing Ada Bomber Jung Soo-hyun back over the gate, he gave her the Diamond Club logo and related products, and Jang Ji-wan, who is currently in the guild, was thinking of shaking hands with Jung Soo-hyun and taking pictures.
When taking pictures, the trademarks of the Diamond Club’s sponsoring companies must appear on the back.
When the detailed plan arrived by fax in 3 hours, Lee Jun-hyeok giggled and showed the plan to Kim Yu-jung and Ichie. Kim Yoo-jung laughed while looking at the plan. He said that Jung Soo-hyeon would return safely, but he could have tolerated this level of business.

“I’m back! Master!”
Exactly 7 hours later, Misaki appeared in front of us with strange equipment. She didn’t seem to be able to properly explain what this equipment was, but Seong Ha-yeon, who had been a hunter longer than I, knew exactly what this equipment was.
“This is a tracker used to detect inside the gate. Did you bring something pretty expensive? Did the Diamond Club cooperate?”
“Oh, there’s a sentence embedded here.”
“We are strong.”
Seong Ha-yeon said that while she grinned. Then, holding my hand, I looked up at the ceiling. The thought that she could go back made her body and mind feel relaxed, and she had no intention of leaving anywhere. Seong Ha-yeon said as she leaned against her body leisurely.
“Once we get back… Should I beg first?”
“…Is that right?”
She told Misaki that her time outside had been about a week, she said. After hearing such a story, Seong Ha-yeon held my hand tightly with an even more nervous face. It was a story that even I could not accept that she had a crush on her in a week. Misaki also sat close next to me, and he hugged me tightly, she said.
“I also met the owner’s parents.”
I suddenly felt uneasy at those words. What the hell did Misaki explain? I asked her
“…What did you say?”
“I was very surprised! Wasn’t the master surprised when he told me that he had two girlfriends and that I was serving him too?”
“Shall we go back?”
I asked while looking at Seong Ha-yeon. Seong Ha-yeon pondered for a moment before she shook her head. It was funny how she gave up her whole family for a moment’s disgrace. I barely calmed her down and said.
“What, and nothing else? There’s nothing like that on the news about me missing, right?”
“Oh, he told me to take the newspaper because he might be curious about the news for the week.”
“Newspaper?”
Misaki summoned the bag from her waist and took out the newspaper contained in the bag. Seong Ha-yeon sat down next to me, and I frantically read the newspaper. As expected, I thought Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok’s sense of delivering newspapers shined.

“No fuck.”
“Puff… !”
Seong Ha-yeon Hunter covered her mouth and turned her head. I flipped through the newspaper to see what else was going on. In addition to the content that I was missing, the information that Kim Hyun-ki was imprisoned was fully prepared. Kim Hyun-gi was said to be confined in a special prison and under real-time surveillance, but since the organization was so dangerous, he did not know when he would escape again.
That’s how I started reading the latest news with Seong Ha-yeon. The news that Hunter Lee Hyun-woo donated money to the victims of this terrorist incident. The news that there was an event to commemorate the victims of the terrorist incident.
“Ah, this bastard finally escaped.”
The news that Kim Hyun-ki escaped from prison with the help of a terrorist group.
I had to frown when I saw the last news that wasn’t very welcome. Seong Ha-yeon said.
“Now you can go out and catch it. Huh? You have to get revenge properly.”
“Yes. You have to smash it very hard.”
I was confident Seong Ha-yeon was also determined to smash Kim Hyun-ki’s face by holding her hand tight. Misaki clasped both of his hands in a fighting pose as if to cheer us on.
“Cheer up! Master! Master, stay strong! I’ll sing you a fighting song that gives you strength!”
And she got into a pose before we could say anything. A soft song started to sing in the background. It seemed that the higher the grade, the more the music came out on its own, even without a sound device.
******
On the day of the appointment. We changed into the neat clothes Misaki gave us and stood in front of the cave. It was because, as a result of getting the coordinates of the gate accurately, a call came that it seemed that the gate could be opened in front of the cave we were in. Reporters were also there to cover our successful return. Since I was wearing a suit inside the gate, I felt somehow awkward.
“Are you nervous?”
“Huh.”
Seong Ha-yeon nodded her head. The reason she was nervous was because of the problems she would face the moment she returned. But she wasn’t worried. Because we will be together Senior Yoo-jung and Ichi-e will also understand the new woman.
A blue light began to flicker in front of my eyes. The small hole grew bigger and bigger like a wave, and began to carefully illuminate other spaces. Camera flashes flashed. My parents and Seong Ha-yeon’s adoptive parents were standing together. With a flash baptism, we jumped into the arms of our family without anyone coming first.
When I saw my mother for the first time in a long time, she looked so emaciated and old. I shed tears because I couldn’t control her emotions that surged in her heart. Seong Ha-yeon was also crying while hugging her family tightly.
Like a joke, we said we didn’t want to go back or wanted to live here, but in the end we were just people who missed our home and family.
The reporter exclaimed.
“Jung Soo-hyun! You returned! Just tell me what you think!”
I shouted as I hugged my parents with my heart beating.
“Mom! I love you!”
