Chapter 548
Chapter 548: Broadcast Start (4)
The chat slowed down so much it almost stopped. Han Yuhyun’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Was information about other teams being filtered even if it was just asking about their well-being? But soon—
└ omg;;;;;;;;;
└ did hyh get hacked???? is this cg???
└ this is the first time I’ve seen such a cold heart lololol
Comments started scrolling up rapidly again.
└ already dead from Han Yuhyun’s heart
└ the director made it through but please someone shut his mouth, where does he keep his liver?
└ Yuhyun, your hyung already finished
└ he’s flying around so no worries
└ uh Yuhyun, Yujin is fine but my heart ran away □□□□□□□□□□□□
└ □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
Some comments weren’t displayed properly. Probably content about strategy information. Anyway, Han Yujin seemed safe. He’d acted dangerously again, but people’s reactions were that much better.
“Thank you.”
Han Yuhyun expressed perfunctory gratitude and walked on. For him, it was hard to understand the emotion of caring about unknown strangers’ evaluations. If it was someone close, especially someone he liked, he himself had felt it through Han Yujin. But no matter what those he’d never properly met face-to-face said, he felt nothing.
It’s to survive in society. That’s how Seok Gimyeong had explained it in the past. Humans live in groups and can be safe within the group. That’s why they have no choice but to value the group’s reputation to avoid being abandoned. Unlike S-rank hunters who could live without any problems even alone.
Even Seok Gimyeong couldn’t clearly explain being swayed by the voices of people who had no practical influence, who were completely unknown. He’d only said that’s how people’s hearts are. They try to refrain from unpleasant words because they don’t want to hear them, and try to follow pleasant words more because they’re nice to hear.
He’d said that finding balance between them wasn’t easy for ordinary people.
‘Hyung is hyung, no matter what he does.’
└ hyh heart is legendary;;
└ I bowed in all four directions after seeing hyh’s heart, wow we have to preserve this
└ does Han Yuhyun only react to his hyung’s name lololol?
Han Yuhyun looked at the chat. As long as Han Yujin looked at him, Han Yuhyun was fine. And inside Han Yuhyun, Han Yujin was firmly established without the slightest waver. He’d worried and felt anxious before, but Han Yujin’s existence, his meaning, would absolutely never change.
It would be nice if hyung was also unwavering with just one person’s perfect support like himself, but Han Yujin had too many.
Family, breeding facility, Haeyeon, other guilds and associations, the Awakened Management Office, and so on. Even these unknown people now. All of them were affecting hyung to various degrees. He’d thought it was difficult, but that’s who hyung was.
└ hyh, are you close with hyj? I fight with my sister every day
“I love my hyung.”
So he spoke toward those who said they had favorable feelings for him.
“The person who made me who I am today is hyung.”
What about your parents? someone asked, and the answer came back that they died when he was young. Someone said they’d lived in the same neighborhood when they were young and their mom said it was a bit strange how that family’s parents always went out by themselves leaving the kids behind. Claims that they were harmonious and that they weren’t mixed together in opposition.
└ so you raised your brother from when you were young?
└ I’m hyh’s classmate and his hyung was there whenever he did anything
“My world is made of hyung.”
Han Yuhyun lowered his eyes slightly. Still, he had quite a bit of filming experience. Especially in the early days of Haeyeon Guild, he’d received advice from the PR team multiple times about restrained movements that evoked sympathy. They’d said that since he was usually like a cold wind city anyway, he just needed to pay slight attention to his gaze and lip shape.
“Even now, my anxious heart…”
Interview attitude was the same. Usually calm and slightly cold as usual, but very occasionally pretending to be weak and hazy.
└ Yujin is fine!!
└ ah hyung, character breaking lol;;
└ what character breaking □□□□□□!!
└ those with grievances against hyh, meet in the back alley of the Hunter Association, healthy O-types welcome
There were a minority who asked why he was like that, but they only got cursed at. These were people who’d come directly to a specific person’s broadcast out of the integrated channel showing main parts and numerous personal broadcasts. Naturally, the majority had to be people with favorable feelings toward Han Yuhyun. S-rank hunters who hadn’t caused major incidents and managed their image well usually had positive popularity far higher than negative.
“I can’t do without hyung. I can only be happy when hyung is by my side.”
Han Yuhyun thought of Han Yujin. He tried hard to imagine that hyung was right in front of him, smiling at him, calling “Yuhyun.” The corners of Han Yuhyun’s lips naturally rose.
└ wow… my monitor just burst into flames
└ that’s the Louvre, I stole Han Yuhyun
“So to those of you who like me, I’d be grateful if you’d cheer for Hunter Han Yujin together.”
Would this help? Han Yuhyun tilted his head inwardly. Should he have given a more desperate feeling? Like tearing up or something. Han Yuhyun approached the canyon entrance and stretched his right arm to the side.
Crunch!
– Keeek!
The dagger held in Han Yuhyun’s hand pierced through a camouflaged snake’s head. Without giving it a single glance, he swung his arm just like that, flinging the giant snake forward. The snake thrown on the ground soon burned up, and a black trace spread like a carpet. Han Yuhyun walked through the scattering ashes as if nothing had happened.
The chat, which had quieted for a moment, became active again.
└ the gap is insane wow wow wow
└ there are many fire hunters but honestly hyh seems the best, other hunters don’t have that much firepower
└ does anyone know Haeyeon guild leader’s weapon name? that pitch black curved one
└ ask him directly, Hunter Han Yuhyun what’s your black sword’s name?
└ probably over a hundred people who asked and got ignored
└ isn’t there an auto filter level? if there’s no hyj word, our chat isn’t visible right?
└ Peace Peace Peace!!!
Peace, who had arrived at the entrance first, approached Han Yuhyun. The Flame Horned Lion, which had been in adult form, returned to juvenile form. Han Yuhyun looked over Peace and opened his mouth.
“How was Peace?”
At Han Yuhyun’s question, people who’d watched Peace’s broadcast together answered that he’d easily caught monsters. And when they exited outside the entrance, soon—

[You are the police chief.]
– Ask if Dad is okay, Dad!
The fairy dragon sitting on Seong Hyunjae’s shoulder urged while looking at a chat that wasn’t his own. Gyeol’s audio was turned off.
└ Seong Hyunjae’s features are clearer than my life…
└ honestly more curious about Seong Hyunjae’s face than watching him catch monsters… guild leader show your face
– Everyone’s eyes are crooked!
Looking at the comments full of praise, Gyeol exploded in frustration. Seong Hyunjae briefly turned off audio and said.
“The humanoid form has my face—”
– I can do other forms too, you know? Gyeol’s true body is a dragon!
“Han Yujin sees my face—”
– Annoying annoying annoying.
Muttering, the fairy dragon pressed Seong Hyunjae’s cheeks hard with both front paws. It was an attempt to squish his face, but there was little effect.
└ is Seong Hyunjae not getting along with baby dragon?
└ it’s acting cute, so adorable
└ I love Seong Hyunjae to death (from. Seong Hyunjae Lovers All)
Seong Hyunjae turned audio back on. Then he said with a gentle smile.
“Our Gyeol likes me very much.”
– Daaaad! I really hate this!!!
“Even now like this.”
Gyeol bit down hard on Seong Hyunjae’s approaching finger. Seong Hyunjae still smiled softly with his eyes.
“It tickles. He playfully bites without hurting.”
– Grrrr!
└ really cute ♥
└ Hyunjae, when there’s a power outage I hang your photo… because it glows…
– Everyone’s being deceived!
Gyeol shouted furiously, but to viewers’ eyes it only looked like a cute baby dragon hopping around happily. When comments saying cute, getting along with Seong Hyunjae, and they suit each other well lined up in his chat, Gyeol got rid of the chat window altogether. Then he drooped his wings and ears.
– Should’ve listened to Dad… Gyeol’s biggest life mistake…
He hadn’t even met Han Yujin more than a few times. Their cabins were separate and he kept disappearing alone.
– Grrrrr.
Then a low warning growl was heard. Several giant wolves blocked the path, baring their teeth. The chat scrolled rapidly, but Seong Hyunjae walked on without any reaction. Gyeol also didn’t pretend to see the wolves either.
– But I feel like Dad will do dangerous things again. Gyeol really feels like I’m aging ten more years.
Seong Hyunjae turned off audio again. Since only personal audio was blocked, the wolves’ growling flowed through the broadcast as is.
“Han Yujin doesn’t spare his body. Song Taewon doesn’t cherish himself either, but at least he’s S-rank.”
– Dad’s body is weak!
– Kyarreureuk
“Still, I can’t lock him up either.”
– Kreuk, grrrreung.
– If Gyeol was uncle, I would’ve locked him up.
Seong Hyunjae’s steps moved between the wolf pack. The wolf blocking right in front flinched and moved aside. Unable to even bite the tiny human that was only the size of its head, it bared its teeth while reading the situation.
└ like taking a neighborhood walk
└ but they said it was A-rank
The wolves kept slipping away, making way. Though they were monsters with instincts hostile to humans, they didn’t dare easily attack. Being an intelligent wolf species, they felt threatened all the more and cowered. Seong Hyunjae leisurely walked on without even taking out the hand in his pocket.
– If it keeps going like this, Dad won’t live long…
Instead of the fairy dragon quickly shutting his mouth, Seong Hyunjae continued.
“He probably doesn’t have much lifespan left.”
– No, Dad will!
“So you knew after all. I heard roughly, so you don’t have to hide it.”
Gyeol trembled his wings.
– …Right now, Gyeol doesn’t really know either. Since I completely separated from Dad. But Dad will live long! Don’t think nonsense!
“Nonsense.”
The corners of Seong Hyunjae’s mouth rose slightly.
“I do have a desire to try everything I can with Han Yujin.”
He wasn’t the type to be obsessed with something. Precisely, there hadn’t existed an object of obsession. So he soon let go of everything, let it flow away. Then two remained in his grasp. If it’s just two in countless years, wouldn’t it be natural to become greedy?
Seong Hyunjae adjusted the scene being shown backward, so the wolves cautiously following would appear. Without his face showing.
“I must have been the same before the regression.”
Song Taewon had died for him. It must have been regretful, empty, and sad. But at the same time, joy must have also clearly settled in. Until the very end, everything in his hands. Seong Hyunjae before the regression who’d lost everything, bored and dull. Yet that moment was enviable enough.
– …Gives me chills.
At the bright smile overlaying Seong Hyunjae’s face, the fairy dragon made fierce eyes.
“Blessings to my beloved ones.”
– It’s unpleasant. You’re not normal.
“Though normal is just each society’s standard, I can’t disagree.”
There probably wouldn’t exist a human who could accept that long time and repeated erasure intact. Normally, wouldn’t it end after a couple times?
“Staying attached to Dad is good, but Seong Gyeol should also think about his career path.”
– It’s Gyeol, Gyeol Gyeol Gyeol Gyeol Gyeol!
“Completing basic educational courses is a very good way to blend into society. A plain alien and an alien who graduated elementary, middle, high school and college in Korea are accepted completely differently.”
Even if his identity was discovered later, the resistance would be much less. Gyeol swished his tail.
– I’m going to keep living with Dad, so it doesn’t matter.
“If you have a proper social position, it’ll help Han Yujin too. A human has no choice but to be more advantageous than a baby dragon.”
– That’s, well, hmm…
The growling heard from behind gradually grew distant. The wolves eventually gave up on the dangerous enemy and went back. The canyon entrance came into view, and Seong Hyunjae switched the filming system back to automatic and turned on audio too. Among the chat asking how he did that and saying it’s amazing, Seong Hyunjae and Gyeol exited the entrance. Then a message window appeared.

[You are a slave.]
“Oh my.”
– What’s this! It’s because you didn’t do anything, you idiot!
Gyeol pulled hard on Seong Hyunjae’s ear, who looked slightly surprised.
└ Ruler of Water-nim, King’s God-tier please destroy them all!!!!
└ Chief Song you’re pretty
└ Chief Song call out your account number, I’ll hold my breath until you do
└ Yerim!!! They said Yuhyun just made a heart!!! Auntie wants to see Yerim’s heart too!!!!
“Really? Oh, what’s gotten into Han Yuhyun. Even without Mister!”
Park Yerim made a heart while looking back at Song Taewon.
“At times like this, Chief Song makes a heart too!”
“…”
“Our chief is very shy! Now, as announced, going to break walls~ This canyon is perfect for breaking. Three paths? No no no. There’s only one path before Park Yerim!”
Park Yerim closed her eyes. Her magic power, her mana spread out below her feet.
“Chief Song, over there!”
Opening her eyes wide and pointing, Song Taewon pulled out his staff and struck down deeply toward where she indicated. Crack! The long staff dug into the ground with only the tip slightly remaining, and soon—
Swoooosh!
Water drawn by Park Yerim’s magic power shot up. Park Yerim flew into the air and spun around.
“Party time!”
