Chapter 231 – The Disaster That Comes (3)
Shin Yoo-jeong, who went to school early in the morning, went to a nearby gym instead of school.
The place where I met Kim Do-jin, who was starting to change and was still very fat, where all the customers were taken away from the old and shabby gyms with good facilities.
“What are you doing this morning? School?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who came to her from the wind in the morning, asked her with a surprised expression as her boss folded the newspaper she was looking at.
“…”
She had no answer coming back.
It was because the cold wind blew in and I closed the door and entered the women’s locker room.
“… I guess something bad happened.”
After muttering so much, the president opened the newspaper he had put aside for a while and began to read it.
Then I changed into her workout clothes and threw a word at her as she headed straight for her exercise equipment.
“Start with warm-up. Awakened people get hurt a lot while exercising.”
“…”
The angry steps stopped.
No matter how angry he was, he seemed to want to avoid getting injured.
After saying that, the boss took her nerves toward Shin Yoo-jung.
She’s angry that she’s here because she didn’t mean much to him.
‘I’ll take care of myself and leave.’
It was an occasional thing.
Shin Yoo-jung, who was stressed out, came and went back after exercising to the point of being violent.
Whenever that happened, all he did was pick up and tell me things that his bristled nerves couldn’t catch.
For example, forgetting to warm up like now, or trying to exercise with a weight that you can’t handle.
Otherwise, just leave it alone.
It goes back on its own as soon as you lose your strength and organize your thoughts.
“Sigh… !”
After finishing her warm-up, Shin Yoo-jung started her heavy-duty workout right away.
The repetition of an exercise that puts a strain on my body to the extent that my arms tremble every time I lift it.
Sweat trickled down her body, and she screamed that her muscles were about to tear, but she didn’t stop.
Every time she felt her breath fill up to the tip of her chin and the pain that seemed to tighten her whole body, the anger that filled her head was diluted little by little.
“Huuk, heuuuuu… !”
Renewing her own limits once again with her weary body, she slumps her down.
Then, while wiping my face with a towel placed next to the equipment, I examine my current appearance in the mirror attached to one side of the wall.
Suddenly curious, she asked the president, who had now shifted her gaze from the newspaper to the TV.
“Boss, I’m curious about something.”
“What?”
“If it’s me, it’s about the top percentage.”
“Hmm, okay.”
The president, who still doesn’t take his eyes off the TV, muttered while stroking my chin.
“If Yujeong is as muscular as you, let’s see…”
Shin Yoo-jung shouted in anger.
“Oh, no muscles!”
“… What if it’s not a muscle?”
“As a woman, as a woman.”
Then, the boss looked at Shin Yoo-jung with cold eyes and replied.
“I’ll tell you in advance, this boss got married right away and has two kids…”
“Ah, who likes a no-tang like the boss!”
“No land! Even if I look like this, in the past… !”
“Uh~ here it is, latte is horse of old people.”
“Ouch… , I, I don’t even know the grace that this child has been receiving since he was young and giving him exercise… !”
The two start bickering.
“Ah, done. Please answer my question quickly.”
Shin Yoo-jung stands up from her seat and poses with her hand on her waist.
“If you look at it coldly, what percent of the top is I? I heard you saw a lot of pretty girls in the past.”
After subtly calming him down, the boss, who had tempered her anger, cleared her throat and looked at her from the side of her eye.
“Well, as long as Yoojung is you… I wonder if it will be in the top 10%.”
Shin Yoo-jung gets even more sullen at his answer.
“… Only 10%?”
Then the boss changed his words.
“So what is that… It means grabbing enough and getting into it, um.”
“Then, how far will you go if you hold on tight?”
A difficult question to follow.
The time when the boss, who was worried about this, tried to give him a generous score with his eyes closed.
An urgent voice came from the TV.
[Breaking news. A huge rift has formed near the south coast, and evacuation orders have been issued in the nearby area. The monster that came out of the crack first discovered by the Haenam Surveillance Battalion is known as the Kraken, which caused great damage to Japan in the past, causing great confusion…】
The word Kraken flew hard and lodged itself in their minds.
“A cataclysmic monster… , That’s not normal.”
He shook his head excitedly as he looked at the Kraken filmed from afar with widened eyes.
Just thinking about how much damage would be done to the nearby area and how many hunters would die to prevent it made my head hurt.
Like the president, another word other than the word Kraken was deeply embedded in Shin Yoo-jung’s head after hearing the breaking news on TV.
Haenam Surveillance Battalion.
“Oh, Dad…”
It was definitely where my father, who had become an Awakener, worked.
She manages to hold on to the strings of reason in her head, which is turning pure white.
Exhaling her strained breath, she went straight to her locker room, pulled out her smartphone from her bag, and called her mother.
Seo Jeong-hee’s voice came in before long.
-Yoo, Yoo Jung-ah. Did you see the news?
“… I just saw it. Have you contacted your father?”
-I’ve been trying to contact you, but if you’re near a firewall, radio waves are blocked, so you can’t call.
It’s the worst.
A cataclysmic monster that dyed the seas off Japan in the past has appeared, and I can’t even contact my father who is nearby.
She tried to stay calm and reassured my fidgety mother through her receiver.
“… Are you okay. If you see no casualty announcements on the news yet, that means all is well.”
I sincerely hoped so.
“Once mom keeps in touch at her house. I am… , I’ll find out what the situation is.”
-Yoo, Yoo Jung-ah.
“Why?”
– Just in case… , Do not do dangerous things. Understand?
“Don’t worry. I just want to ask the professors.”
-Ha… , Okay. Mom will keep calling, so call me if anything happens.
“Okay.”
After finishing her call, she immediately grabbed her bag and left her dressing room.
Just in time, the news that was being delivered one after another on TV reached her ears.
【… In response, the Hunter Association announced that it would recruit volunteers in class B hunters and set up additional support groups to recruit volunteers in class B hunters.
She immediately kicked out of the gym and grabbed an empty taxi that was passing by.
“Please go to Korea University quickly.”
Soon after, a taxi runs.
Looking at the fast -paced buildings, she bite her nails in her nervous heart.
Upon her arrival, she got out of her car and ran to her professor, who was usually close to her.
“Professor, if you know anything about the situation, please tell me.”
She asked urgently.
Although she is a former job, she still hopes that she may know something if she is still a faculty who works in the same industry, but her return answer was greatly beyond her expectation.
“I’m sorry, Student Yujeong. There is no way for me to know the details of the current situation.”
“… Is that so.”
“Even if I ask an active hunter acquaintance, I still can’t know the details.”
“That word… Is it hard for anyone to get information right now? “
“If you don’t have a close relationship with the association, most of them will be.”
Close relationship.
There was a man in his head.
No, in the midst of this urgency, I kept thinking about it, but its presence became even stronger.
“… Thank you professor. I’ll just go.”
After leaving her professor, she immediately took out her smartphone and called her.
The recipient is Dojin Kim.
The person he knows is the closest relationship with the Hunter Association.
I am still angry with him.
She and that’s all of them and that topic, she wasn’t talking about her not only herself but also to other women.
Still, I can’t help it.
If you can dispel the anxiety that bursts in her and her mother’s heart.
-The customer is on the phone…
But she does not reach him.
Who the hell is you in contact with?
“Fuck…”
Sweep the thumping heart and clean up your thoughts calmly.
His class schedule was drawn in his head.
Today, if now is the time… In the next lecture, the situation has left for about an hour.
Then…
‘East.’
Isn’t it a club room for this time?
Shin Yoo -jung leads his tired body and runs straight to the club building.
Soon I hear a familiar voice over the door of the club room.
I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been talking for a while.
As I opened the door carefully, he began to hear his words clearly.
“I’ll go to Haenam right now. No, you don’t have to pick it up. “
Her movement stopped after opening the door.
‘To Haenam… , I’m going?’
I don’t know what the heck this is about.
Why is it so simple to go to a place where people are struggling with the appearance of the Kraken?
‘Ah…’
Suddenly, the news I heard at the gym flashes past me.
Along with the words that he would set up an additional support group by accepting volunteers only for B-class hunters, that Kim Do-jin is an active B-class hunter.
I know he deserves to go.
However, the action itself did not make sense.
‘What are you doing in that dangerous place?’
Stopped at her door when she was struggling.
“Shin Yu-jeong… ?”
“Ah…”
Kim Do-jin and Shin Yoo-jung, who opened the door to leave the club room, faced each other with awkward expressions.
He asked her with her troubled smile on her face.
“Are you here to rest? I’m leaving now, so feel free…”
“Hey.”
Shin Yoo-jung cut off his words.
And she asked
“Haenam, why are you leaving?”
“… Why? Of course.”
“Could it be because of my dad?”
“…”
Kim Dojin closed her mouth tightly.
