Creating Hidden Endings - Chapter 11
I wanted to ignore him too because I feel bad for being ignored, but I couldn’t stand my impatience and opened my mouth first.
“Excuse me, Hunter Lee Jehee?”
“Yes.”
But he didn’t even look at me and just replied. As the body temperature slowly rose, hot breaths burst out, and the body twisted in an unbearable sensation. Nevertheless, I was impatient because he saw only the information window without thinking about looking at me.
“When will I feel better?”
“Your ability is a mess. Isn’t it weird to see this and make you feel better?”
No, what’s wrong with my abilities! I snorted hard because it was ridiculous, but, viciously, he reached out and stroked my head.
“Don’t rush and wait.”
“Ahh!”
As if only the senses remained, it was as sensitive as it became, so I got goosebumps even when my fingertips touched the scalp. Astonished by this, I jumped back and touched the floor, and then the guy who had only looked at the information window threw his gaze at me.
“….”
“….”
Damn it, where does that bastard put his eyes?
The cool gaze passes through the face, goes down to the chest, and goes down a little more. Slowly lowering my head following that gaze, I also checked the absurd situation below.
This crazy—!
“I’m going to use the bathroom!”
I didn’t know why my face was burning because I was embarrassed or because I had a fever above my condition. As I was about to get up and head to the gloomy bathroom, a new status window popped up in front of my eyes.
[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.]
[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.]
[The Master’s mood improves, giving you +1 to ‘Be Loved’.]
[Warning: Since the skill to ‘Be Loved’ is -7, the “Sexuality” effect disappears, and the “Melancholy” effect is given]
[Warning: Since the skill to Be Loved is -5, “Melancholy” effects continues and the skill use is limited]
—Isn’t feeling better at this moment proving that he has a bad personality?
As the heat that seemed to burn in my body slowly disappeared, I felt a loss of strength. I couldn’t control my trembling body, so I sat down, and a small voice mixed with laughter came from the side of the sofa.
“Do you want me to take you to the bathroom if you’re having a hard time?”
“—It’s fine. I can go alone.”
What a bastard, that guy. Who is this all because of?
I responded coldly to the words that sounded like making fun of people and raised my upper body in a sullen posture. And after checking the still awkward condition below, I crawled into the bathroom. It was because the lower body condition didn’t get better right away just because the status effect disappeared.
It couldn’t have been the same thing. This situation now and the situation in the future has become dark.
It meant that now, at any cost, it was necessary to manage it so that the skill to ‘Be Loved’ does not fall below -10. When it is below -5, it seems that the use of other skills is also restricted—.
That meant that under any circumstances I had to lay flat on him.
“Haa, damn it— I was so anxious even from the beginning.”
I sat down on the gloomy bathroom floor and grinded my teeth, waiting for the lower condition to be better. One year, I had a feeling that this would not be as easy as I thought.
It has been a week since I joined the Yeolmu Guild. I thought something special happened during that time, but there wasn’t.
Lee Jehee mainly called me at night and asked to put him to sleep. When the amount of Mana increased by the effect of the Servant Ring and the potion were combined, the sleep time of the guy who slept at least once every two days was guaranteed for 5 hours a day.
Although the problem is that my sleep time is not managed at all.
“Hoam, I’m going crazy because I’m sleepy.”
I yawned with a long stretch, and then covered my mouth, which had been wide open later, with my hand. Section Chief Yoon, who watched the scene, raised his eyebrows anxiously.
“If you are tired, go in and rest. There are no reservations today, so what are you doing here?”
“Ugh, there are only a few days left before I’m out here. I’m going to keep working hard until then. Did you find a new job?”
“Not yet. There’s no suitable place. I don’t know if it’s because the teacher is so nice, but my eyes are troubled.”
Section Chief Yoon, the only employee at the Happiness Management Clinic, sighed with a puzzled expression. Seeing Section Chief Yoon like that was not comfortable for me either. It was because it was Section Chief Yoon who helped me adjust to the moment I suddenly fell into a different world and lost consciousness.
The day I woke up in an unfamiliar house, my cell phone rang when I was dazed and not knowing what to do. The caller was Section Chief Yoon. When he was asked why I didn’t go to work, I was curious about what this meant, and it was also Section Chief Yoon who also called to teach me how to work on the day I stuttered.
Until yesterday, it would have seemed very strange for a person who had no problems to even use his skills suddenly struggled, but the manager calmly helped me. In terms of games, maybe he was a precious existence like a tutorial NPC?
Thanks to this, I was able to finish adapting safely within a short period of one month, and I was able to judge my situation calmly and rationally.
I was such a grateful person, but as I joined the Yeolmu Guild and managing the clinic became difficult, I had no choice but to cut him off. Because the Happiness Management Clinic is only open until this week and has decided to close for a while.
Of course, it may reopen one year after the contract ends, but it shouldn’t be me to go back and reopen it. That was something the real Yeon Seonwoo in this world had to do. By that time, I must return to my world.
“Section Chief is so good at your job. You can have high standards. And you’ll find a good job soon.”
At the sincere words, the Section Chief smiled pleasantly and jokingly responded
“This is not what the person who cut me off should have said right?”
“Sigh, you know well that I don’t want to do that.”
While complaining, I let out a long sigh, drooping over the reception desk where the Section Chief was sitting.
Somehow, I got to the place where I was most likely to find a way back, but that didn’t make me feel at ease. So, as I whined like a child who had to do something I didn’t want to do, the Section Chief gently comforted me on my back.
“I’m kidding, too. I looked up the Internet and found that it was very difficult to enter the Yeolmu guild. You know that I’m sincerely congratulating you, right?”
“…Thank you.”
Is the Yeolmu Guild that much? When I was playing from Lee Jehee’s point of view, I thought it would be more difficult to recruit new teammates.
With a curious mind, I lifted my body, which had been stretched out, and smiled shyly. Section Chief Yoon, who made eye contact, also smiled kindly.
I can’t believe I have to lose this precious employee—.
No matter how much I think about it, Lee Jehee is so rude. Whenever he liked it, he used the summoning skill without thinking about my situation, and that’s why I had no choice but to clean up the clinic.
It was then. While the conversation was interrupted for a moment, the notification bell hung on the door of the clinic rang. The face of the person who carefully poked his face out through the glass door and entered cautiously was quite familiar to my eyes.
“Huh? Aren’t you Hunter Kim Hyunoh? It’s not even a reservation day, so why did you come here?”
Section Chief Yoon, who recognized a regular visitor to the clinic frequently, greeted him warmly but asked curiously.
I, too, who was standing in front of the reception desk chatting and to get some sleep, widened my eyes a little. Somehow, I thought it was a familiar face, but it was a customer who had already visited me 3 times in the past month.
“Hello. I received a call this week that the clinic is closing, so I’m here to say hello.”
Hunter Kim Hyunoh, who looks like a warrior at first glance, scratched his head with an innocent face that did not fit his size and smiled shyly. Then, he handed over the shopping bag in his hand, and when I received it, a delicious smell came from inside.
I opened the bag with a smell that stimulated the stomach. The neatly packaged egg tarts were lined up in a neat shape.
“I mean, why did you buy all this? You can just come.”
As I put down the shopping bag I received at the reception desk and express my gratitude, Hunter Kim Hyunoh, who was shy to hand it out, rolls his eyes as if he doesn’t know what to do. In that awkward attitude, there was a clumsiness that he had never done before, and a playful sense of humor in it.
At that time, the Section Chief Yoon, who had been silently watching, saw the name printed on the shopping bag and was surprised.
“I heard this is a famous place, where you have to wait in line to buy it. Thank you, Hunter Kim Hyunoh!”
“Is that so? Ah, it’s a famous place. What should I do to show my gratitude?”
After examining the neatly designed logo at the words of Section Chief Yoon, I thanked Hunter Kim Hyunoh once again. Then he waved his hand and made his face blush, as expected, he’s a person who can be teasing.
“A, ah, no! It’s not like that! I bought it at a place where I went to support outside, so feel free to eat and enjoy it!”
The appearance of Hunter Kim Hyunoh, who even turned red to the neck, made me and the Section Chief Yoon burst into laughter. Both of us were mischievous at the glance we encountered.
