Chapter 176: Chapter 176

Wonhee was used to doing cameos in her colleagues’ drama, but this was the first time she made an appearance for a music video.

[Hint: I wore a school uniform.]

And Yejun wouldn’t stop looking at Wonhee.

"Yejun-ah, get out," Wonhee said when they got to the dressing room that the staff prepared for her and Semi. "I’m going to change now."

Of course, Yejun didn’t miss that chance to grin and flirt with her. "Can I watch?"

"Do you want to die, Hwang Yejun?"

Semi entered the dressing room and grabbed Yejun at the back of his neck. "Get out, pervert."

"I’m not a pervert, Noona," Yejun complained, but he didn’t resist when Semi dragged him out of the dressing room. "I have permission to flirt with Wonhee!"

Semi just closed the door in Yejun’s face.

Now that only Wonhee and Semi were there, the atmosphere turned awkward.

It was okay when they were with the others earlier. Moreover, they were busy working so they didn’t have time to actually talk to each other alone.

Wonhee didn’t expect Semi to apologize first.

[I should also apologize for losing my temper that day.]

"Soobin and I were wrong for forcing you to sacrifice your friend just to solve the problem with the Virus the easy way," Semi said, and everyone could tell that she was sincere and remorseful. "We’re sorry for not thinking about your feelings."

[Now this is making me feel bad.]

"Unnie, I should also apologize for being selfish," Wonhee said calmly. "I know that the world would be safer if we get rid of the Virus now. But not at Yool’s expense. However, that doesn’t mean I’ll just sit back and watch the world perish. That’s why I need your help, Unnie. Let’s figure this out together. Please."

"Alright, I understand."

She didn’t expect her older sister to agree right away.

"The duty of protecting the human race and saving the world doesn’t fall solely on your shoulders— we should fulfill our roles as well, especially the Big 4," Semi said, nodding. Then she carefully held Wonhee’s hands. "Don’t worry, Hee-ya. You can rely on us."

Wonhee was so touched that she teared up. "Thank you, Unnie. And I’m sorry for being a brat."

"There’s nothing wrong with wanting to protect your friend."

"Even at the expense of the entire world?"

"You do what you want— leave the consequences to me and Soobin."

Now Wonhee burst into tears and hugged Semi. "Unnie, I’m really sorry for the mean things I said to you and Soobin Oppa— especially for doubting your love for me."

"It’s alright, Hee-ya. Your feelings are valid," Semi consoled her while gently rubbing her back. "Would you like to have dinner with me and Soobin tonight? Just the three of us."

To be honest, Wonhee was planning to talk to Yejun after the shoot.

[I wanted to know if the System summoned him because of Yool’s diaries.]

"That sounds great, Unnie," Wonhee said, smiling. "Let’s call Oppa first."

"SO, why did the System summon you for days?"

After Yejun got kicked out of the dressing room designated to Wonhee and Semi, he found himself in the company of Song Moonho.

The two of them were sitting on the top of the rollercoaster ride.

Because the shooting location was a famous abandoned theme park.

[Why are we here? Simple. High-ranking Hunters just like high places so we could look down at people.]

"Were you kicked out by Gong Yool?" Yejun asked, annoying Song Moonho on purpose. "Did you lose him to Graham?"

"I’m just letting Yool hang out with other people because I don’t want him to feel suffocated with me," Song Moonho said, shrugging. "At the end of the day, Yool will still go home with me anyway."

"That’s disgusting. Not because you’re both men, okay? It’s just disgusting to see you acting like a lovesick fool."

"I don’t want to hear that from you."

"Hey, I’m different from you, old man. My love isn’t one-sided— I’m sure Wonhee feels the same about me. On the other hand, Gong Yool obviously doesn’t like you back."

"Don’t forget one of the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: Don’t make assumptions."

"Stop acting like a smartass, old man."

"Don’t forget the ’ass’ part."

Song Moonho just chuckled. "How long are you planning to avoid my question?

Yejun stared at the orange sky— their location turning out to be the best spot to watch the sun set. "Would you believe if I say that this world is the world after the ’reset?’ That means this is our second chance to kill the Virus before it kills us again."

Song Moonho fell silent for a moment before he opened his mouth. "That explains why I see Chu Wonhee and Yool’s older versions from time to time. So, it turns out it wasn’t the future."

"Interesting. I know that I’m sensitive, but I didn’t know that my perception was on this level."

[I really don’t want to say this, but...]

"Apparently, you were the ’main character’ of the previous world."

"You became the strongest Hunter after the second apocalypse, and you were the one who protected Korea. You died, but you kept Chu Wonhee alive. And then she did her best to reset the world so your sacrifice wasn’t in vain."

Song Moonho looked shocked again, and then he burst out laughing. "What were you doing in that world then?"

"I was stuck in a stupid block of ice."

Once again, the old man laughed out loud.

"Stop laughing," Yejun said, annoyed. "I won’t let you become the ’main character’ this time, old man."

"Go ahead and take the main role, Hwang Yejun— I don’t mind."

"The System probably didn’t choose me as the world’s ’main character’ this time because I already failed last time," Song Moonho said, shrugging. And then he paused for a while before opening his mouth again. "To be honest, I’ve always wondered why I feel exhausted even though I should still be in my prime. Now it makes sense. What you told me explains the mysterious exhaustion I feel that won’t go away no matter how many times I get Guiding."

"Isn’t your exhaustion caused by your old age?"

When the old man looked at Yejun with cold eyes, he avoided his gaze guiltily.

[He’s really sensitive when his age is brought up...]

"Now I can relax and leave everything to you."

"Yah," Yejun complained, glaring at Song Moonho. "You can’t leave everything to me. I want time to date Wonhee."

"Worry about that once Chu Wonhee agrees to date you," Song Moonho said, shrugging. "I’m already busy looking for Song Sunho. Once I find my stupid brother, I’ll make him beg Yool’s forgiveness. Then I’ll start pursuing Yool for real, so I won’t have time to save the world with you."

"Don’t you already know that?"

Yejun was about to complain again when his phone rang.

’Demon #2.’ Chapters first released on novelFɪre.net

That was his cousin Hwang Minki.

He answered the call.

"Give your report in thirty seconds, Hyung."

<"You’re awake and still an ungrateful little bitch, huh? Hwang Yejun, do I need to remind you who searched the whole country to catch the low-tier World Rankers who entered Korea secretly to keep an eye on Wony?">

Yejun asked the Winter Guild members to search the entire country for possible World Rankers who entered the country illegally to catch a glimpse of Wonhee.

Because he was pretty sure that UAN wasn’t the only organization interested in the first S-Class Guide in the world. Small and ’weak’ countries were also capable of sending their best Hunters to gather information about Wonhee, and he already expected them to do that.

Hence, he sent his family to deal with the small-fry villains.

"Did you catch all the intruders?"

<"We had to stop the search.">

<"We found out that the #2 World Ranker is here.">

Yejun almost dropped his phone, shocked. "The #2 World Ranker is here?"

Upon hearing that, Song Moonho turned to Yejun in disbelief. "Why is that monster in Korea?"

Of course, he had no idea.

"Come back," Yejun said in a hurry. "Come back and don’t engage with that monster."

"WHY THE HELL did you get weak all of a sudden, puppy?"

Seodam flinched when Kunwoo, the strongest APA Hunter, stared at him as if he was looking at his soul. "I’m not just in the right condition, Sunbae-nim 1 ."

"It happened after the Virus took over Seodam’s body."

[He’s lying for my sake.]

Park Ruda was the only person who knew about his stats dropping, and his Guide was serious about keeping his secret safe.

[I’m glad I trusted the right person.]

"I’m doing my best to heal Seodam through my Guiding," Ruda added. "Rest assured— Seodam will return to normal soon."

"Is that so?" Kunwoo asked. Fortunately, he looked convinced by Park Ruda’s explanation. And then he turned to Seodam again. "Can you still join the mission this time?"

"Yes, Sunbae-nim," Seodam said firmly. "What is the mission?"

"We’re going to catch Song Sunho."

The Autumn Guild’s Vice Guildmaster and Song Moonho’s little brother?

"Can you do that?" Ruda asked skeptically. "Have you informed Hunter Song Moonho and the Autumn Guild that you already found Song Sunho?"

"Finders keepers!" Kunwoo said childishly. "But I’ll make sure to deliver Song Sunho’s body to Song Moonho in one piece so he’d have something to bury or something."

Seodam was shocked to hear that. "APA wants Song Sunho dead?"
