Chapter 184 – Life’s First Hunting Trip
‘I thought he was doing well because he didn’t come home for two days…
They’ve already recovered 4 people. Isn’t that too fast? Really pervert oppa…’
“When you said pervert, did you mean the moon or the stars?”
‘Because they both think so! Whatever it is, do it in moderation!
I think I probably stayed up all night for two full days and played with my sisters.
Aren’t you coming home? Come in and get some sleep! And then I collapse!!’
Eunha’s nagging while taking a sip of the energy drink she bought at the convenience store.
It seems like I can hear Eunha’s voice right next to me on the other side of the phone.
“…Even if you don’t say that, I’m really going to go in today. I have to go to school tomorrow…”
‘Ugh, my voice is crawling… How many times did you do it yesterday?’
“Well? I cummed on Isabelle more than 10 times, and if you include Luna… 30 times?”
’If I do everything I did with Yunsol, I’ll be able to easily pass number 50.
‘Oppa, I know you’re so full of desire that you’re all hot, but will you really die?’
“Oh, I was already thinking that I might die today.
Since time is running out, I’ll hang up. See you later, my dear little brother!”
‘What? Are you going to meet another sister?! Who is it again this time?! Hey, Choi Woo-joo!
Then, do something with Er in your room before you die! I masturbated all night for two days—!!’
I get sick of the nagging that gets so long that I can’t see the end, so I hang up the phone.
If I had been a little late, I would have listened to Eunha’s rapid-fire nagging all day.
When you go home later, Eunha will be waiting for you, her anger rising to the end.
That is a problem that Choi Woo-joo will solve in a few hours, and now Choi Woo-joo has work to do.
I grab my bags from the table in front of the convenience store, get up, and walk among the people blocking the dusk.
As I walked across the wide asphalt and faded sidewalk blocks, a light suddenly struck my eyes.
Even though the sun is setting, if you look up and follow the light falling from the sky,
The skyscrapers of Seoul, embracing all the crowds and blocking the sky, caught my eye.
This place, emitting light as bright as the midday sun, was none other than a company.
It is a place where only the elites gather, a large corporation that no Korean would know about.
There are probably hundreds of thousands of people who dream of working here and continue to learn.
I, the humble Choi Woo-joo, stand right in front of such a great place.
“…The dog is really big…”
Waiting for Noah in front of a building so large and bright that it exudes a sense of intimidation.
When I first found Noah in the reset world, I was really surprised.
Even though I was good at studying, all I could do was stare and suck my fingers.
Noah succeeded in getting a job at a similar age to me and became a business woman.
In a world where masks did not exist, Noah lived well as an office worker rather than an agent.
I knew he was smart, but I had no idea he was this good.
I laugh and lower my head at the distance between me and Noah, who are close yet far away.
It’s almost time for Noah to get off work, so if you sit on the bench at the front entrance and wait-
“You’ll get reported again, right?”
Noah, who still had the same cunning from his time as an agent, quickly noticed what I was doing.
This is already the fourth time that he has misunderstood me as a stalker and reported it to the police without answering any questions.
Every time that happens, I use my desire to send the police away, but I’m tired of this now.
I can’t believe you’re treating me like a stalker just because I checked your movements or schedule a little bit.
Noah also said he seems to have become too sensitive due to work stress.
Anyway, I don’t want to make a fuss for this reason again, so let’s find a place to hide again.
Noah always leaves work through the front door, so it would be nice to have a place where she can secretly follow her.
A cafe attached to the lobby is perfect because outsiders can enter and there are plenty of blind spots.
The problem is how do I talk to Noah, who is already at max level of wariness towards me.
It’s a problem that will end if we just put a mask on, but Noah must also be given a choice.
In other words, you must continue the conversation with Noah, but how?
I can clearly see that if I chase after her to try to talk to her, I’ll get reported again.
Isn’t there a good excuse, she thought, as she passed through the revolving door to avoid the cold wind outside.
The air was much warmer than outside, the spacious lobby with high ceilings, and the smell of coffee wafting from beyond.
For now, let’s hide in the cafe as planned and wait for Noah to come out.
This time, be careful not to get caught…
“Ah.”
As I re-established my resolve as her stalker, my steps toward the cafe stopped.
This was because a familiar face reached me before the strong scent of coffee beans.
Her eyes were much more tired than the last time I saw her, and her dark circles had deepened.
A woman putting half of a piece of cake into her mouth with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
It was Noah looking out her window, exhaling the sweet creamy scent with a sigh.
“…”
It’s okay. Noah doesn’t seem to have seen me yet, so she took this opportunity to sneak into the cafe…
“…Hmm?”
“Ah.”
Noah’s wide eyes glance back towards her entrance as soon as he feels the rustling of human presence.
After seeing her face, Noah blinked and quietly took out her cell phone.
“No, wait a minute, that’s not really what happened today. Of course, it wasn’t like that before either…”
She also didn’t want to eat with police officers, so she did her best to make an excuse.
Of course, Noah didn’t even pretend to listen and seemed to report her with an expression of boredom.
“…”
Noah, who stopped her fingers as she soon became more concerned, put down her cell phone with another sigh.
I don’t think they stopped reporting because of my excuses, but what happened?
It may be due to things like the difficulties of being new to society, bullying at work, or overwork.
Noah’s seemingly unusual dark mood seems to make me depressed as well.
I feel like my lips are drying when I see Noah’s expression, as if he has some complicated story behind him.
Although I have no experience with such a large society yet, I cannot just leave it like this.
“Hey, what are you worried about?”
“…?”
When I came to, I was already yelling at Noah.
I also approached the woman who thought I was a stalker,
He started talking to me with a ridiculous excuse, asking, ‘Are you worried?’
This time, it wouldn’t be surprising if it was actually reported.
However, Noah didn’t show much of a reaction other than slightly opening her eyes in surprise.
With eyes so deep and dark, with eyes that I can’t even read what they’re thinking,
She just quietly looked up at me while munching on the cake in her mouth for a long time.
“Um, over there…?”
“…”
Noah, who always had a light-hearted attitude, became tired and scared.
Dark circles were added to the originally thin eyes, highlighting their decadent beauty.
The atmosphere and eyes, which were much more adult than before, were overwhelming me.
“Uh, over there…”
“Gulp…”
Unable to bear the silence and gloomy eyes, let’s raise our voices once again.
Noah, who happened to swallow the piece of cake he was holding, immediately separated his lips from hers.
“…Oh oh oh oh oh.”
“…Yes?”
What I heard was something like a baby’s babbling.
A vague muttering, as if speaking with a mouth full of food.
When she tilts her head to a voice she doesn’t recognize at all, Noah sighs.
Noah beats her chest as if he was frustrated and swallowed something in her mouth.
Wow, that’s strange.
Noah didn’t eat anything after swallowing the cake earlier.
What on earth were you holding in, and what did you swallow?
“Whew… Come here.”
“Ah, yes…”
Noah’s frustration can be clearly heard now that what was blocking his voice is gone.
He rushes to her front, pounding on the table, filled with her built up frustration and emotions.
“…Uh, we’ve seen each other before, right? I’m really sorry for the misunderstanding, but I’m not a stalker or anything…”
“…Okay, I’ll turn a blind eye this time, so just do me a favor.”
Although it seems like she continues to be swayed by Noah’s heavy vibes, she’s better off.
I thought she would be accused of being a stalker and get arrested without even being able to talk to her, but she ended up doing me a favor.
If you use this as an excuse to continue the conversation step by step, you may be able to reduce her wariness.
“Please? Yes, if I can…”
So, while being careful not to show off, let her lighten Noah’s mood.
“I’m in a strange state right now… Um, I’m writing… Ugh…”
“…Hey?”
Hehehaau…Gulp! Ah, really…!!”
The pronunciation went on smoothly but suddenly turned into strange babbling again.
Noah swallowed something that filled her mouth in an instant, already for the third time.
She was rubbing the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, letting out her frustration.
No way, what Noah was swallowing earlier was…
“…Saliva…?”
“…Yes, yes! It’s strange, right? But I don’t know why it’s like this, so don’t ask!
So, man, please quickly buy me some sticky cookies! Make this stop!”
Her accumulated stress eventually burst out as her saliva constantly filled up.
Noah shows spit pouring out of her mouth and pours out what she wanted to say.
It wasn’t just dripping from the corner of her mouth, but a slushy drool that was pouring down.
An abnormally large amount of viscous saliva that looks like cream falls out.
A desire that cannot be satisfied no matter how much you eat, is this a trace of Noah?
Come to think of it, there was only soggy bread or cookies in front of Noah, but no coffee.
The traces of the saints appeared almost two days ago, so two days ago?
Noah might find her annoying.
Not only work but also sleep, which is the most important thing for office workers, has been disrupted.
I began to understand Noah’s much sharper irritation and the dark circles under his eyes.
At the same time, I think it is a good opportunity.
I feel a little sorry for using Noah’s crisis as my opportunity, but—
“Sweet…! What are you doing?! You want to be reported…! Huh…?!”
If this is the case, you may not only lower your vigilance, but you may even gain favor.
Without missing the opportunity, he pretends to press the side of Noah’s chin.
“Okay, now tell me.”
“…Uh, no saliva coming out…? Uh, what did you do?!”
“Ahaha, I actually graduated from the Department of Oriental Medicine…”
That’s bullshit, it can’t be.
It only instilled in her a stronger desire and suppressed the traces of her saintliness.
When the effect wears off, you’ll start drooling like a waterfall again,
This is enough for now.
“…Oriental medicine…!”
The dazzling vitality returned to eyes that were like dead fish.
Noah smiled at me for the first time in this world.
Smiling at her, not missing the loophole that appeared in her moment.
“Yes, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding! You’re actually so pretty…
“I really wanted to have a conversation, so my body got ahead of me.”
“…No, if that’s the case…”
Oh, this reaction.
Is your first hunting success a success?
