A night with the pale yellow moon hidden behind the clouds.
Junhwan ascended to the rooftop of the university hospital in response to the sudden call from the Chosen One.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
Sip, sip.
The ruby-like vivid red wine filled the paper cup. Yuhwan, chewing on dried squid, subtly nodded to Junhwan as if to offer it to him.
“Ah… Thank you.”
Junhwan hesitantly accepted the paper cup. Although he didn’t know much about alcohol, seeing the label attached to the bottle and the number 1947, he guessed it wouldn’t be cheap.
“I’ve been thinking about having a drink with another ‘Hwan’ for a while, and since I happened to have good wine, I brought it. Does it suit your taste?”
“Yes, it has a nice fragrance.”
“Really? It seems that ‘Hwans’ understand each other.”
Hehehe! Yuhwan laughed heartily, revealing his fangs. The two of them continued to empty their glasses on the rooftop under the moonlight.
When the snacks in front of them had decreased by about half, Yuhwan subtly changed his posture after confirming Junhwan’s cheek had turned slightly red.
“I heard that the kid’s condition has improved a lot.”
“Yes. She stabilized. Thanks to Dr. Plant’s devoted care.”
Daughter… Ah, excuse me. Junhwan hastily blocked his mouth. Yuhwan, who had chuckled, emptied the remaining wine in his paper cup in one gulp before slowly speaking.
“The Pixie Powder… No, thanks to the Black Flame Princess?”
Pause.
Junhwan, who was bringing the paper cup to his lips, stopped moving.
His gaze, which had been blurry, was now filled with vigilance rather than intoxication.
Yuhwan chuckled.
“Don’t make that expression. I didn’t pry into anything specific. It’s a story I heard directly from Dr. Plant.”
“That matter…”
“I know. Well, as long as you guys keep your mouths shut, I won’t be the one to blabber first. Do I look like a guy who doesn’t think much?”
Yuhwan shrugged and, pouring wine into the empty paper cup once again, continued.
“It’s not just on your side that there’s loyalty. The Immortal, too. He owed a debt once.”
“A debt… you say?”
“The Unknown Gate incident at Busan Jagalchi Market.”
Gulp, Yuhwan passed the wine and added while reaching for snacks.
“At that time, the Black Flame Princess saved our guild members.”
“…”
Such an incident had occurred. He had no idea. Junhwan silently listened to his words.
“Not surprised, huh?”
Yuhwan murmured. Junhwan raised his head to look at him. When their eyes met, Yuhwan’s lips curled up in a slight smile.
“I guess you’re not curious about how an F-rank hunter could do that.”
“That…”
“Well, he’s not someone like an F-rank.”
Being someone who exchanged fists with her, Yuhwan could confidently say so.
“He probably received a summons from the association, maybe even went to the Legion? GIA, CIA, those guys left quite a creepy prophecy.”
Even Junhwan, the second-in-command of the Legion, would have received news. There was no need to delve into the details of the story.
Yuhwan, who set down the paper cup with a thud, straightforwardly began speaking.
“We need his power.”
“…”
The ‘he’ that Yuhwan was referring to. The Black Flame Princess.
Junhwan, who had been silent for a moment, looked at him as if he really didn’t know.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Oh, look at this. Yuhwan raised his eyebrows slightly, then chuckled silently.
The fact that the Black Flame Princess had appeared as a wolf could be easily found with a little investigation.
Then, the only means left is knocking on the Legion’s door.
She willingly paid 400,000 coins for Pixie Powder to help Tricker. That act itself was proof of the connection between the Black Flame Princess and the Legion.
“Do you know where he is?”
“…”
“No, just give me the contact information. I’ll talk to him directly.”
At Yuhwan’s words, Junhwan stood up silently. The intoxication that had filled his two cheeks had disappeared without a trace.
Standing in place, Junhwan looked straight at Yuhwan.
“I enjoyed the drink, the Chosen One. However, I cannot provide information about him.”
“…Is that so?”
That’s right. Yuhwan, sitting on the desk legs on the bench, raised his gaze and stared at him.
Although he felt a little intimidated by the gaze that lacked a trace of laughter, Junhwan opened his mouth with an unwavering voice.
“He is a family member of the Legion and someone we pledged loyalty to, along with the Master. Also…”
Looking at the wine on the table, Junhwan, who slowly glanced at it, added.
“The Legion’s loyalty cannot be diluted with any expensive liquor.”
“…”
“I apologize for not being able to provide information on expensive liquor.”
Whoooosh─
The wind crossed the hospital rooftop.
The red flowers blooming on the rooftop garden blurred the sight. Through them, the sound of laughter burst forth and drifted away on the wind.
“That’s why I like you.”
Uckcha. Yuhwan, who stood up from his seat, stood in front of Junhwan. Although Junhwan was not short, in front of the nearly 2-meter-tall Yuhwan, he looked like a teenager.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
