Black Hunter - chapter 8

I pushed the door. The hinges were well lubricated, so I touched them slightly, but the door opened wide. The women sitting around the elongated table turned their heads all at once. This was the first time I’ve had so many women’s attention. My face turned red like a tomato. My ears are burning.

“What?”

Choi Yoo-mi snarled the club with nails upside down and put it on the table roughly to make a bang sound.

I swallowed my saliva when I saw the flesh of a hungry beast.

“I want to join you.”

“Han Nam-Chung is an ambassador.”

“I am not Han Nam-Chung. I’m a feminist.”

“You’re not a feminist, but a horned dog.”

“No.”

“No, it’s a horn.”

Choi Yoo-Mi smiled with her arms crossed.

“Speak honestly. Why are you here? You came because you wanted to get this? Go and get it. It’s a Hannam baby.” [TL: Hannam is literally short for “Korean man,” but in this context, the term was most likely used to mean hannam-choong, or “Korean male parasite,” which refers to entitled, misogynistic men.]

I was offended.

“You’re so forward.”

Choi Yoo-mi laughed.

“Do you know what feminism is?”

“It’s about equality between men and women. I am positive.”

Said a pretty girl sitting next to Choi Yoo-mi.

“Sister, isn’t that okay?”

Was that Hansujin?

Her beauty stood out, and I remembered her name. Of course, Han Soo-jin wouldn’t date an ordinary man like me.

I raised my hands politely and laughed. I have never laughed so brightly in my life. Then Choi Yoomi shook her finger.

Like an applicant who went up to a final interview, I took a step in a very polite manner.

Choi Yoo-mi, who looked up close, was egotistic. She was 180cm tall, and her broad shoulders reminded of Dongtaek’s crew.

“You slept with Kim Byung-woo?”

I jumped.

“I’m not gay.”

Choi Yoo-mi said that was absurd.

“Are you staying in the same house? I meant. “

I was embarrassed and coughed.

“The room is separate.”

“Yes or no.”

Choi Yoo-mi replied hurriedly, then posed the question right away.

“The house that Kim Byung-Woo took was that house taken by the thugs?”

“It was.”

“Why did Kim Byung-Woo take that house? Are you going to stick with the thugs?”

“I don’t know, but it didn’t seem like he touched it because he wanted to pick a fight with the thugs. I think it was just because the house was located closest to the village entrance.”

“Have you seen him fighting?”

“Yes.”

Choi Yoo-mi’s eyes twinkled.

“How was it?”

“It was so fast

.”

“He killed five enemies all at once, right?”

“Five rooms. But you are very interested in Kim.”

“Because he is the strongest person here. The gangsters are scared; they can’t touch him.”

“How did you know that Dong-Taek was scared?”

“Because it’s scary, you can’t make a sound even though you’ve been taken away from home.”

“I don’t know. If the day is bright, you may have put it off for processing.”

“What you saw today… How many?”

“What?”

“The beads that Kim Byeong-woo ate.”

“Why do you ask me that?”

“You’re a stalker of Kim Byung-woo.”

“I’m not a stalker, I’m just interested, so I observed

him.”

“That was an excuse. Answer me.”

I replied with my fingers crossed.

“Twenty beads from hyenas, and twenty from wolves, so forty beads.”

Choi Yoo-mi kicked her tongue.

“He has eaten a lot.”

“Do you feel bad that he ate a lot?”

Choi Yoomi pushed my forehead with her index finger.

“Do you know why we got together?”

“I do not know.”

“Because we didn’t want to be raped.”

I was uncomfortable with Choi Yoo-mi.

“Isn’t it over?”

“We are Korean girls.”

“Who isn’t?”

“I have been sexually harassed and molested by Korean men since I was a child. There are too many thugs, so I can’t go to the bathroom at will. But we don’t know what kind of bead Hannam has!”

“Wouldn’t you need my strength to survive here?”

“No.”

I scratched the forehead Choi Yoomi touched.

“If you are thinking like that, stay away from the gangsters and keep Kim Byung-woo close.”

“Is Kim Byeong-woo different from the gangsters?”

“Yes.”

I affirmed.

“He is not interested in women.”

Choi Yoo-mi asked me in a subtle tone when she rolled the stick gently. She found my words interesting.

“Is he really gay?”

“I don’t know the sexual orientation of Kim Byung-woo, and that is his privacy. He never looked at a woman.”

“You peeked?”

I decided to go out honestly.

“Yes. It was often disgusting.”

“Also, Hannam…”

Choi Yoo-mi clicked her tongue and shook her head. I ignored her reaction and looked at other women.

“Perhaps… If you do not mind… Hmm… So… perhaps… Me and … You … Dating … I want … Who … Can I date?”

Choi Yoomi cut my words.

“no.”

“Don’t ask my sisters.”

“You hate me because I’m ugly?”

“No.”

“No, you’re horny.”

“You hate me because I have a bad mouth.”

“You are ugly.”

That was absurd.

“I’m not ugly.”

“So, do you think you are handsome?”

“I’m not handsome; I think I’m in the middle.”

Choi Yoo-mi twisted the end.

“So, you’re a good man?”

“Yes.”

“This is the problem with you, boys. Even ugly guys think they’re handsome.”

The conversation was not going anywhere. I stepped back with both hands up.

“Did you eat two beads?”

Choi Yoo-mi asked before I leave the building.

“There are rumors that it has no effect at all, but is it true?”

I remember the beads I ate, so it’s complicated.

“Yes.”

“I’ve never seen anyone who eats beads and suffers like you. But why doesn’t it work?”

“I think it’s a unique situation. How about you? How many did you eat?”

“Five blue beads, three red beads.”

“Did it work?”

“I was strong, and my physical strength improved.”

“Is the blue bead for power?”

“Yes.”

“Then, the red beads have the effect of cultivating health.”

At first glance, Choi Yoomi looked strong and energetic. I was very envious.

“Has anyone ever eaten yellow beads with black stripes?”

“No. Stop now.”

Choi Yoo-mi left the building before wielding that dreadful club. I walked with my hand in my pocket, and one of the Iljin I saw yesterday jumped out of the building next to him and gestured. Looking around, he is alone.

I walked slowly and went forward. The gangster wannabe said while stroking his swelling jaw as he was beaten by Kim Byung-woo.

“Hey.”

The little guy is not cheap.

“Why?”

“Are you seeing a lesbian?”

“Are you a lesbian?”

“You have a troll-like bitch. Are you rubbing them naked?”

Then she giggled like it was the funniest joke in the world. I was sober.

“Is that funny?”

“But, you have no sense of humor.”

When I was 22 years old, I heard the braided sound.

“Is it good to be under the thug?”

“Everyone who is watching tells me that you’re attached to the asshole, and you act like a couple. “

“Are you an asshole?”

“Byeongwoo is the asshole.”

Iljin grabbed another boat and crushed it. He is stupid. As I crossed my tongue, Iljin quickly said.

“What did you say to the asshole?”
