CHAPTER 281: THE SECOND APOCALYPSE (1)

"YOU should go to sleep for now, Yool-ah."

This Ahjussi is acting sus.

Yool let Song Moonho tuck him in bed.

After killing the ’Womb,’ the two of them were released from the strange dungeon that swallowed them.

Then they went back to Yool’s place.

Song Moonho took care of Yool for him to get a good rest, but it seemed like the old man had no intention of resting himself.

"Ahjussi, are you not going to sleep?"

Song Moonho smiled seductively. "Are you inviting me to sleep with you, Yool-ah?"

This old bastard doesn’t really miss opportunities to flirt with me.

But, fortunately, Yool’s mental fortitude was pretty impressive.

"You’re teasing me just to change the subject," Yool said, scoffing. "Ahjussi, I’m not stupid. I know you’re up to no good again."

"That can’t be," Song Moonho said, smiling brightly him. "And, for the record, I’m serious when I say I want to sleep with you, Yool-ah— in the nastiest sense of the word."

Ahem.

Yool had to fake a cough and avoid Song Moonho’s intense and lustful gaze.

This Ahjussi is already undressing me in his mind...!

"That’s your original body, isn’t it?"

"Yes," Yool answered, finally getting the courage to look at the old man again. "What about it?"

"I want to sleep with you in your original body."

"You horny old bastard."

"To be honest, whether you’re in that body or the other, I would still want to sleep with you," Song Moonho said, chuckling to himself. "But since the other body isn’t really yours, I’m worried that it may be what’s stopping you from sleeping with me."

"Yah. You make it sound like I secretly want to sleep with you, Ahjussi."

"You don’t?"

Fuck.

That visual should be illegal. How could he flirt with me with that handsome face? I’m not the lord’s strongest soldier...

Yool slapped his cheeks to stop himself from falling into Song Moonho’s seduction.

"Tsk," Song Moonho clicked his tongue playfully. "Just when I thought I was finally succeeding in seducing you..."

Yeah, that was what the old man’s "hobby" was— seducing Yool every chance he got.

But, this time, he could tell that something was strange.

"Ahjussi, why do I feel like you’re in a hurry this time?"

"Yool-ah, sometimes I wish you’re not as quick-witted as you are."

Okay, that statement from the old man made him uneasy.

"Ahjussi, what’s going on?" Yool said, getting up. For some reason, he felt the urge to grab Song Moonho’s arm— and so he did. "Tell me."

Song Moonho smiled and shook his head. "You’ll remember after you wake up, Yool-ah."

"But I’m not sleepy..."

Oh.

Yool suddenly fell drowsy, his body falling back on the bed as he slowly lost consciousness.

The last thing he saw was Song Moonho kissing his forehead tenderly.

It felt like a goodbye.

"No," Yool said weakly, grabbing Song Moonho by the collar. "Stay with me..."

TO BE honest, Yejun wasn’t really interested in Lee Seodam’s story.

And he also expected Wonhee to talk about the sad truth that she discovered behind her luck.

But, of course, he kept his mouth shut and listened to her intently.

"Lee Seodam started the Second Apocalypse? He seemed weak to me," Yejun said, scoffing. "Was he strong in the previous world?"

"Yes, because he had me," Wonhee said bitterly. "One of my strongest suits even then was my strange luck. All the Hunters that I guided back then surpassed their S-Class."

Wow.

That wasn’t hard to imagine.

"Then was Lee Seodam the strongest back then?" Yejun said, and then he added bitterly: "Because you loved him?"

Wonhee chuckled, and then she turned to Yejun with a teasing smile on her face. "Are you jealous, Yejun-ah?"

"Well... a little?"

"Why are you being cute?"

"Wonhee-ya, you’re the only one in the entire world who will find me "cute" when I’m frowning like this."

"Good— because I want to be the only one who sees your cute side, Yejun-ah."

"Haaah," Yejun said, looking up at the ceiling. "Wonhee-ya, don’t seduce me. I’m already using all the self-control I have in me to stop myself from taking you."

"Yah."

"You already know that I’m horny for you—"

"Hwang Yejun!"

Pfft.

Yejun couldn’t help but laugh while looking at Wonhee’s shy and blushing face.

[This is my Wonhee.]

He could tell that Wonhee’s old personality was mixing with her current personality earlier.

But, now, he could see that this Wonhee was his Wonhee.

"Stop teasing me, Yejun-ah."

"Alright, alright," Yejun said, stopping himself from teasing Wonhee again. Hence, he changed the topic. "So, who was the strongest then?"

"I already told you before," Wonhee said, pausing for a moment. "Song Moonho was the strongest Hunter in the previous world."

***

[The Previous World...]

NINE years after the Outbreak, Wonhee awakened as an A-Class Guide.

To be precise, it happened a few months after Lee Seodam broke up with her.

And, five years later, the Cracks that terrorized the world started to disappear one by one.

"It seems like the Cracks are all gone now."

Wonhee raised her head and looked straight at Song Moonho. "That seems to be the case. And it’s all thanks to your hard work, Moonho-ssi."

Song Moonho wasn’t even the second strongest Hunter in South Korea when he awakened.

Someone else had the title the "strongest" in the past.

However, that person disappeared because he lost his mind.

That was when Song Moonho stepped up.

[We naturally thought Hunter Graham would become the country’s new #1 Hunter. But Song Moonho surprised the world by his sudden growth.]

"I reached this level because of you, Wonhee-ssi," Song Moonho said, smiling. "It wasn’t only me who was grateful to you. The new Big 4 survived this long because we had the best S-Class Guide in the world."

Yes, she eventually became an S-Class Guide after years of fighting with the new Big 4.

And the new Big 4 would be Song Moonho, Graham, Semi, and Lee Seodam.

[Lee Seodam replaced the previous #1 Hunter in South Korea.]

What was his name again?

Wonhee had already forgotten about him since it had been too long.

[The last five years had been hell since Cracks suddenly started to appear more frequently, and they started to get more difficult to raid.]

"I do have a feeling that we still need to wake him up, though."

Wonhee knitted his eyebrows, confused and curious. "Who?"

"Hwang Yejun," Song Moonho said, smiling. "The strongest Hunter I know."
