Chapter 1697 – 1697. Hunter Vs Vampire
“……!”
Ju Seo-hyun’s eyes snapped open.
Memories of last night flooded back. She had struggled with Seong Yu-jin, and in the end, she had been violated by him. Ju Seo-hyun couldn’t bear the shame that washed over her and abruptly sat up. The blanket slid down, revealing her full breasts.
She lowered her head slightly and was aghast at what she saw. Her white breasts were covered in red, dot-like kiss marks.
‘I missed my chance to get revenge on Seong Yu-jin…!’
She bit her lip, trying to get out of bed. Something was wrapped around her waist. It was a naked Seong Yu-jin. He was sleeping right next to her.
“……”
Seeing Seong Yu-jin defenseless in his sleep, her desire for revenge surged. She could easily kill him with her bare hands right now.
‘…If I had wanted to kill him now, I would have done it yesterday. Killing Seong Yu-jin now is meaningless. My revenge will only be complete when I fight and defeat him in Atlantis.’
Even though she was annoyed, she held back in this world.
She removed Seong Yu-jin’s arm from her waist and got out of bed. Then, she realized she was wearing a chastity belt and scowled.
She remembered what Seong Yu-jin had said to her before they fell asleep.
-This chastity belt is proof that you’re mine.
“I’m not yours. I will definitely kill you in Atlantis.”
She left the room and picked up her clothes and smartphone from the floor. Seeing the liquids scattered on the floor reminded her of the intense night before. She tried to ignore the tingling sensation in her nether regions and got dressed.
It was past 1 PM.
‘If this were Atlantis, I would still be getting violated by Seong Yu-jin.’
In this world, both she and he had diminished physical abilities. They were stronger than ordinary people because of their training, but compared to when they were in Atlantis, the difference was like an elephant and a puppy.
She checked her smartphone and immediately frowned. The background image had been changed. It was a selfie of her and Seong Yu-jin cheek-to-cheek, looking like lovers. The problem was that Seong Yu-jin was smirking, and she had a half-crazed expression. The rose necklace around her neck was particularly noticeable.
‘When did he take this? And how did he know my smartphone password?’
Just as she was about to delete the photo, she noticed a pile of messages and missed calls. Most of them were from the company. There were also several missed calls from her manager and department head. A lot had happened yesterday. Yana, a Noble-class vampire, had died, and her house had been attacked by vampires. It was natural for the company to be in an uproar.
‘I need to go to the company. Why can’t I delete this photo?’
Giving up on deleting the photo, she checked the rose necklace in her pocket. After a moment’s hesitation, she put it on. For some reason, she felt reassured when she wore it.
‘Let’s leave Seong Yu-jin here. If we go to the company together, things will only get more complicated.’
Before leaving the house, she went to the bathroom and was shocked. There were dark kiss marks on her neck and collarbone.
‘I, if I go to the company like this….’
She was already the center of attention at the company. If she went to the company like this, strange rumors would definitely spread. Normally, she wouldn’t care, but she couldn’t stand the thought of rumors spreading about her and Seong Yu-jin. She covered her face, which was turning red, and buttoned up her clothes.
Buttoning up her clothes too much made her look strange. Usually, she left the top button undone. She felt suffocated if she buttoned it all the way up.
‘…The people at the company will think it’s weird. But it’s better than showing off the kiss marks.’
How should she cover her neck?
Makeup was the first thing that came to mind. But she didn’t wear makeup, so she didn’t have any. Even if she bought makeup or found some at Seong Yu-jin’s place, she wouldn’t know how to use it.
‘…There should be a handkerchief in the car. I’ll cover it by wearing it like a scarf.’
Ju Seo-hyun went into the room where Seong Yu-jin was. She didn’t know why she had come to this room. She had just followed her feet and ended up here.
“Umm…. Seo-hyun’s pussy is so wet….”
Seong Yu-jin mumbled in his sleep. Ju Seo-hyun blushed and glared at the sleeping Seong Yu-jin. A sudden thought occurred to her that he might not be talking in his sleep.
“Seong Yu-jin…. I will definitely kill you someday…!”
• • •
Ju Seo-hyun arrived at the company. She immediately noticed that the atmosphere was very different from usual. From the security guards to the office workers, everyone was moving busily. Some people were even running around.
The tense security guards rushed over to Ju Seo-hyun as soon as they saw her.
“Ms. Ju Seo-hyun! We heard you were attacked! You’re safe!”
“Thank goodness! We thought the future of Korea was gone!”
Some of the security guards were reporting to their superiors through walkie-talkies.
“Ms. Ju Seo-hyun has arrived! Yes! She seems to be safe! She doesn’t seem to be injured! Yes! Understood! Ms. Ju Seo-hyun! The Special Ops Department Head wants you to come up right away!”
“…Yes. Understood.”
Unlike the fussing guards, Ju Seo-hyun calmly headed to the elevator. Even then, company employees approached her and spoke to her. Most of them were expressing their concern for her. Ju Seo-hyun gave them short answers.
‘Not a single person is worried about Seong Yu-jin.’
She felt inexplicably annoyed.
If they knew her, they would naturally know her partner, Seong Yu-jin. But no one asked about Seong Yu-jin’s well-being.
She felt disappointed in her company colleagues and headed to the Special Ops Department.
Ju Seo-hyun noticed that there were fewer people in the Special Ops Department. Even if they had gone out of the company for work, there were far fewer people than usual. All the remaining Special Ops employees looked extremely busy.
“Ms. Ju!”
Goo Hyung-jin, the section chief, who was running down the hallway, shouted when he saw Ju Seo-hyun. He, who was always sitting in his office chair, was sweating and working today for some reason.
“I heard you were attacked! I’m glad you’re safe! Are you hurt anywhere? You’re wearing a scarf, which you never do! Did you hurt your neck?”
“I’m fine. You look busy. Did something happen?”
“I guess you haven’t heard the details yet. I’ll tell you briefly before you go to the department head. Last night, the vampires attacked the company employees. The targets were the employees working in the field, including you. There are currently over 50 confirmed deaths. Those damn mosquito bastards have started to show their teeth to the company. Because of them, the company is in chaos!”
“I don’t know what to say.”
“Originally, we were supposed to track your location and find you…. But we were too busy, so it was postponed. We believed you were alive. Where is your partner who killed 60 vampires, including Anya?”
“He was injured and is resting at home. I will report in his place.”
“The medical records said he suffered burns… Was that an injury from the attack? I hope it’s not serious. Go report to the department head. I have a lot of work to do.”
Section Chief Goo Hyung-jin passed her and took out his smartphone from his pocket. He was talking to someone. Judging by his increasingly loud voice, it wasn’t a good conversation.
Ju Seo-hyun went to the Special Ops Department Head’s office. It had been a long time since she had met the department head. Almost three months. Ju Seo-hyun felt a little uncomfortable with the department head.
Before she could even knock on the door, a voice was heard.
“Come in.”
She opened the door and went inside.
A middle-aged woman wearing a mint-colored shirt was sitting there. Her half-white hair was braided up. She was in her late 50s this year, but she didn’t look old because of her sharp eyes and straight posture.
Kang Myung-sook.
The head of the Special Ops Department. Although she was a department head, she was treated as an executive. It was said that she had refused the executive position herself.
Ju Seo-hyun felt uncomfortable around her. There was no big reason. She just felt uncomfortable when she was near her.
“Ju, the treasure of our company, has arrived. It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“…It’s been a while.”
“I heard you chose a partner. His name was Seong Yu-jin, right? According to the documents, his grades are quite good. But there’s no way the butcher Ju Seo-hyun would have chosen a partner because of grades…. Is it because of this?”
Kang Myung-sook wiggled her pinky finger. Ju Seo-hyun’s eyebrows twitched.
“No, it’s not.”
“Don’t pretend. Didn’t you have a wild night of sex and come to work? It’s also strange that you’re wearing a scarf. Do you have a kiss mark under there?”
She had hit the nail on the head. But Ju Seo-hyun maintained a blank expression to the end.
“Stop it and let’s get to work. This isn’t the time for jokes. I heard the employees were attacked.”
“The more things are like this, the more we need to be the same as usual. People sometimes make stupid decisions when they’re excited.”
Kang Myung-sook lowered her gaze to the desk. After glancing at the laptop monitor, she said in a lower voice.
“They’re serious. There’s no way they would attack our employees simultaneously like this otherwise. The company will probably be attacked soon. We need to find and kill all the vampires in Seoul before that happens. It’s not for nothing that they say the best defense is offense. If we leave them alone, they’ll keep crawling up.”
“We’ll be short on manpower in the current situation.”
“A mobilization order will be issued soon. Employees from the provinces will also come to Seoul, so it’ll be fine.”
“What is my job?”
“Just kill vampires as usual.”
“……Understood. I’ll be going now.”
“Ah, wait. About your partner. We’ve decided to test if he’s qualified to be a Jaeger.”
Ju Seo-hyun couldn’t hide her bewilderment.
“He hasn’t been with the company for long.”
“Didn’t you become a Jaeger a week after joining the company? He killed 60 vampires and even Yana in one day. That’s an unbelievable achievement. I’m curious if his skills are real or fake. Ms. Ju, aren’t you curious?”
She wasn’t curious.
She already knew Seong Yu-jin’s skills.
What she was worried about wasn’t Seong Yu-jin’s skills. It was his personality. After last night, Seong Yu-jin would stop hiding his temper. One of the things he hated was someone evaluating him.
She knew Seong Yu-jin well, so she had no choice but to stop it.
“Seong Yu-jin’s skills are above that of a current Jaeger. I guarantee it! Please skip the test.”
“I’m sorry. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but we have to check these things thoroughly. You can leave now.”
