The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 88

Episode 88. Old Friends

‘Found it!’

At first glance, it looks fine.

‘I manipulated the wind to cushion the blow, but will I still be alive?’

Rustle.

I went into the flower bed and carefully picked up the fallen Earthling.

“Hey. Are you okay?”

Then, soon after, good news arrived.

She seemed to frown a few times in my arms, then suddenly opened her eyes wide.

‘oh!’

The person who came to his senses froze for a while with a surprised expression on his face, then said a word.

“you…….”

you?

“What the hell are you, meddling in other people’s business! Do you know how hard it was for me to make this? Why did you interfere? Why did you interfere? Aaaah!”

People here treat their benefactors in a very unique way.

***

This is really the worst.

How much courage did it take to make that one attempt, only to have it end so vainly?

“Eww!”

Self-employed, Gu Seo-hyung had no choice but to grind his teeth and look ahead.

Anyway, there wasn’t anything I liked since a while ago.

It’s annoying that your attempts have failed, and it’s annoying that you’re hungry.

Besides, I can’t seem to find my glasses anywhere for the time being!

“Everything is ruined because of the foolishness!”

Gu Seo-hyung started getting angry at the man who saved him.

“If you show sympathy without any consideration, who do you think will be right and say thank you? No, why are you meddling when you don’t even know what’s going on with others! What are you going to do about this? Take responsibility!”

But what came back was just an overly calm tone of speech.

“Calm down.”

Since Gu Seo-hyung had very poor eyesight and could not see anything at the moment, he had no choice but to rely on the voices he could hear to continue the conversation.

“You may have been shocked by the fall just now, so please sit down for a moment. How are you over there?”

A blond man pointing somewhere.

Frowning and looking closely, I saw that it was probably the outdoor seating area of a nearby convenience store.

“Whether others are surprised or not… … .”

Gu Seo-hyung grumbled as he sat down on the chair.

As the other person said, honestly, my legs were shaking since a while ago and I couldn’t stand at all.

“Phew.”

As soon as she sat down, she lowered her head on the table.

But what the heck.

After being silent for a while, the convenience store doorbell rang twice in my ear.

-Tink, tink.

When I raised my head again, there was a glass of drink in front of me that I had never seen before.

It was a cafe latte.

“I just sat there and noticed.”

It seems like he bought it in a hurry to use it as a substitute for the seat… … .

Even after receiving the coffee, Gu Seo-hyung showed no sign of gratitude. Instead, he glared at the other person with his piercing eyes.

“You don’t like it that much that I saved your life?”

Gu Seo-hyung frowned as if he was strongly affirming it.

Then the man across from him was silent for a moment, choosing his words.

“Still, suicide is not good.”

Does he really intend to continue spouting useless advice like “life is precious” like everyone else?

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. What… … .”

Gu Seo-hyung turned his head away as if he had nothing more to hear.

but…….

“Anyway, death is irreversible.”

Doesn’t this sentence seem a little different from what you’d expect?

“No matter how much technology has advanced, there is still no technology in this world to bring the dead back to life… … .”

“Huh?”

“Shouldn’t we be cautious about these issues at least until such skills are developed… … .”

Irreversible? Technology? Skill?

It certainly seems like he’s saying that life is precious.

‘What an unusual choice of words.’

While she was feeling a vague sense of alienation, the same voice was heard again from across her blurred vision.

A low, clear sentence from a man.

“Anyway, let me take this opportunity to evaluate your situation from an objective standpoint.”

“Open, evaluate?”

“Let’s think together about whether it would be better to die like this. Carefully.”

“…!”

“If you look at it through the eyes of a third party, you might find a reason to live that you didn’t even know you had.”

As soon as he heard those words, Gu Seo-hyung furrowed his brow.

“What if you see that there is no answer to my life? What responsibility can you take?”

Of course, the man answered without any sign of embarrassment.

“Then I’ll push you back from the rooftop.”

“uh?”

“You said you would take responsibility. If you don’t want to fall, I’ll make sure to kill you in some other way. Okay?”

If we put our heads together and come to the same conclusion, he said he would take responsibility and help commit suicide.

At this, Goo Seo-hyung got goosebumps for a moment.

‘Huh?’

How can you talk about killing someone so casually? And that’s someone you saved with your own hands.

Gu Seo-hyung kept his mouth shut due to an inexplicable sense of tension.

But the other person seemed completely unaware of her feelings and simply asked the question calmly.

“Anyway, please explain your circumstances. Why on earth did you try to kill yourself?”

You have to tell the story of your life to a stranger who has dyed his hair yellow.

It’s not something I really like, but… … .

‘Yeah. I’m going to die anyway, so I’ll just grumble for the last time.’

Starting with this thought.

Gu Seo-hyung began to quietly explain why he was standing on the rooftop.

***

Koo Seo-hyung is a South Korean actor.

She started out as a child actress and debuted in the entertainment industry 16 years ago when she was selected as a model for a boiler commercial.

Fresh eyes, fair skin, and even decent acting skills.

How could a person with all of this not be popular?

The undisputed best child actor of his time.

This was the universal assessment given to Gu Seo-hyung… … .

In some ways, this was a sign of misfortune.

First of all, Koo Seo-hyung was very uncomfortable with such public attention. He was born with an introverted personality.

I don’t like being on TV and having my face known.

I also don’t like going to filming locations filled with only adults.

Repeating emotional acting until a good scene came out, etc. Anyway, this job was full of things I didn’t like.

But when he told his parents that he wanted to quit acting, they were shocked and tried to dissuade him.

Because everyone is disappointed.

She had no choice but to continue her acting career despite the hardships.

As I got older, my popularity declined, and I watched younger actors surpass me in success, I somehow managed to survive for 15 years.

“Sob sob.”

Koo Seo-hyung finally reached his limit. At the end of the year before last, he was diagnosed with panic disorder due to stress.

‘I can’t live like this anymore.’

She decided to retire from the entertainment industry.

Of course, I had my own plans for the future. I had been receiving a lot of appearance fees during that time.

‘A store with my name on it!’

Koo Seo-hyung went to see his parents to fulfill his long-time dream of opening an accessory workshop.

‘uh?’

But what the heck.

As it turned out, her parents had already spent all of the appearance fee they had been saving.

-Mom, what did you say?

-Ahem.

She blew all the money she had earned in her life without ever touching it.

And that too for the absurd reason of his father’s cryptocurrency investment.

-I’m sorry. No, but what can I do? This was making a lot of money until the year before last. He said that the 10 million won he put in had increased this much, and he kept showing me on the computer, so I… … .

Besides, if it was just a waste of money, it would be understandable. The reaction of the family members that followed was amazing.

-Hey, but we didn’t get into debt like other people.

-Oh my, you’re getting so upset because your family forgot something?

-Seo-hyung-ah, money is something that exists and then disappears.

Gu Seo-hyung was so angry at the shameless excuses of the two that he cried and shouted.

If that’s the case, please give me the money right now, even if it means taking out this house. Only then can I open a store and quit my job…

-What? A house?

But the sentence that came back was extremely cold.

-Is that something you would say to your parents who raised you? How can you move a house where all your family members live? How can you move?

They didn’t seem to have any intention of giving Gu Seo-hyung his money back.

-And why are you suddenly quitting acting?

-… .

-Is it because there are fewer places calling you these days?

-Dad, I’m so tired.

-Stop talking weakly. Other people have hard lives too.

-I want to die.

-My dad always said that if you are truly prepared to die at that time, anything is possible.

After the incident that day, Koo Seo-hyung was completely fed up with his family and cut himself off from them. First of all, he lost his support system.

Okay, so that’s the situation as of last year.

“After that, I left home and took out a loan.”

From now on, this is the real main reason.

“No matter what the situation, it’s hard to give up on the dream of having a workshop in my name.”

Startup… … .

Kiryeo, who had been listening to this silently, soon spoke.

“Then shouldn’t I work hard for the sake of the store?”

Then, all of a sudden, Seohyung Koo starts to shed tears.

“Yeah. If I had a shop, I would have worked hard, right? But my shop burned down in that large-scale dungeon break in August. Now it’s all really ruined!”

I didn’t want to cry so loudly in front of someone I was meeting for the first time.

“Besides, the gate accident insurance I had taken out in advance turned out to be a completely false insurance policy… …!”

“omg.”

“Ugh, sob. I worked so hard, so why, why am I in debt… …!”

Once I started crying, the sadness came pouring out like a dam.

“I’ve heard your story. Now, I’ll tell you what I think.”

However, he was able to lead the conversation relatively calmly without being swayed by the emotions of the other person he was trying to talk to.

As an alien spirit, he has yet to deeply empathize with the emotions expressed here.

“In my opinion, it’s still too early to die.”

“What part of it!”

Bam.

He spoke, his fingers intertwined with the plastic table he was trying to reach.

“So, to cut to the chase, you’re saying you’re having a hard time because of debt right now?”

“What is that!”

“Then, rather than dying hastily, why don’t you at least try to repay that debt… … .”

However, the response back was not very good.

“My debt is a whopping 240 million won. And it’s even with third-tier financial institutions! Are you going to pay it back? It’s not like that, but everyone says it so easily!”

Gu Seo-hyung sniffled and opened his eyes venomously.

As if to tell us not to talk so easily about someone else’s life.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to pay off my debts. But that’s the situation. The store burned down, and I’d hate to go back to the entertainment industry more than I would want to die!”

“…!”

“But they say that personal rehabilitation doesn’t work because the requirements aren’t met. Anyway, really, really, I… … .”

Gu Seo-hyung bit his lip and uttered his last words half-crying.

“What should I do? Now, I’m just, so tired… … . Seriously, I haven’t had a good time since the gate came in.”

If you cry this much, even an alien would be moved to some extent.

But why is that?

“Entertainment world?”

He remained silent with an expression that was almost cold-blooded.

“Excuse me. I have a question.”

What comes out eventually is a short question.

“Why do you avoid the hunter industry?”

“what?”

“No, since you’re an Awakened One, you don’t seem to consider working as a Hunter at all… … .”

When she opens her eyes wide as if she doesn’t understand English, Kim Ki-ryeo belatedly realizes something.

“You didn’t know that you had awakened?”

And this guy… … .

It’s not like it’s a common series like Jeong Ha-seong.
