Holy B-Class Life

#024

No matter how he thought about it, this was a one-sidedly advantageous penalty for himself. After all, he hadn’t said it expecting it to be accepted right away.

If Dan Joo-hyuk objected, he planned to read the situation and try to negotiate then. He thought it would be fortunate if he could add more behavioral restrictions to prevent Dan Joo-hyuk from harming him.

But why was he conceding so easily?

“Is this really an item?”

Naturally, strong suspicion arose. In response, Dan Joo-hyuk once again readily held out the item he was holding.

“Check it yourself.”

With a dubious face, Yoon Pa-ran took it.

The scrap of paper that came into his hand felt exactly as heavy as 10 billion won.

[Blessing Contract]

Here, now, there are those who swear before the great order.

“…”

Why is this real?

Yoon Pa-ran’s pupils shook in the confusing situation. Not long ago, Dan Joo-hyuk had given him more money without even being asked, and now this – didn’t it seem like he was being taken for a fool?

However, Yoon Pa-ran soon realized. That Dan Joo-hyuk wasn’t doing this out of kindness.

This guy, he’s really insane.

A hunter’s rank was like their life. Especially the value of an S-rank, of which there were only four in Korea, was incalculable in monetary terms.

Yet Dan Joo-hyuk found this situation ‘fun’ enough to put that on the scale. They said he nearly died seeking that same ‘fun’ in an S-rank gate three years ago – his way of thinking wasn’t normal.

He seriously wondered if this was really the right thing to do. Meanwhile, Dan Joo-hyuk casually took back the item and wrote his name on it.

“Here you go.”

“…”

Somehow, the penalties that both of them would have to bear were already well filled in as ‘rank reduction’.

Ah, something feels off.

Thinking this, Yoon Pa-ran still took the pen Dan Joo-hyuk offered as if swept along. Although the too-good conditions kept nagging at him, his hand steadily wrote his name.

As soon as Yoon Pa-ran finished writing his three-character name, the contract shone brightly.

Eventually, the contract that had floated up into the air gradually became translucent. Then it split into two and repeatedly drew strange patterns. The pattern somewhat resembled flower buds.

Then they flew into Yoon Pa-ran and Dan Joo-hyuk’s chests respectively.

The hologram-like contracts that had flown in soon became invisible to the eye. It meant the contract had been successfully completed.

“Whew…”

If he concentrated, the contract’s text appeared as a status window. He could confirm the existence of the contract like this anytime until it was terminated.

Yoon Pa-ran blankly observed the existence of the contract embedded in his status window. The pattern he had seen earlier was also engraved on the border of the contract status window. After staring at it for a while, Yoon Pa-ran came to his senses.

Well, if he wants to act like a sucker on his own, it’s not my business.

“Are we done? I’m going.”

Yoon Pa-ran, having neatly organized his thoughts, grabbed the passenger door handle.

Just as he was about to leave without waiting for an answer, Dan Joo-hyuk, moving without a sound, suddenly grabbed his forearm.

“Where are you going?”

Yoon Pa-ran, who was about to counterattack reflexively, barely relaxed the strength in his arm.

Ridiculously, it seemed that having the contract did create some trust.

Of course, it wasn’t that he believed Dan Joo-hyuk would faithfully adhere to the contract. It was just a shallow expectation that he would at least pretend not to harm him.

Still, did this give a feeling that at least his life was guaranteed?

“Why?”

Hearing his curt response, Dan Joo-hyuk smiled even more deeply.

To be this oblivious. Thinking mockingly, he deliberately moved his hand that had been holding Yoon Pa-ran’s forearm.

“I’m about to enter a gate soon.”

The fingertips that had trailed up Yoon Pa-ran’s forearm now touched his white face. Before he could open his mouth, Dan Joo-hyuk was already gently rubbing his chin.

Every time their skin touched, Yoon Pa-ran’s jaw muscles twitched visibly.

It was a gesture with clearly suggestive implications. However, Yoon Pa-ran, not understanding the nuance, just had a blank expression as if to say, “So what?”

“Ah.”

Dan Joo-hyuk intentionally said nothing else and just stared intently. Fortunately, Yoon Pa-ran wasn’t a complete idiot and seemed to realize something, letting out a small exclamation.

His fine features quickly crumpled into a fierce expression.

“What’s with that face? Like you’re chewing monster meat?”

Even as Dan Joo-hyuk acted upset, Yoon Pa-ran just sighed. He even lazily leaned back against the passenger seat.

“It’s not that different. Do it quickly and get lost.”

Is such boldness innate?

Dan Joo-hyuk wondered if Yoon Pa-ran might have a skill that allowed him to revive once even if he died. His attitude was still interesting, but now Dan Joo-hyuk’s mood was subtly twisted.

That twisted feeling was clearly visible in the curve of his lips.

“I don’t understand why your reaction is always so sharp…”

Looking at Dan Joo-hyuk, who was smirking as if amused, Yoon Pa-ran frowned reflexively.

Then, for just a tiny moment – as small as a rice grain Min-woong had dropped while eating yesterday – he reconsidered his thoughts. After all, it was his choice to agree to the contract, so maybe he appeared to be avoiding it.

Of course, Dan Joo-hyuk’s next words made him regret even that rice-grain-sized consideration.

“Ah. You said you’ve never kissed before, are you a virgin?”

“What? What are you…”

He opened his mouth angrily but then his words got stuck. He hadn’t said he’d never done it before last time, but it was true.

Unlike himself who was at a loss for words, Dan Joo-hyuk started freely using his open mouth.

“With that face, how have you not played with a single dick?”

“W-What?”

Yoon Pa-ran’s eyes sharpened at the vulgar expression. Meeting that gaze calmly, Dan Joo-hyuk looked down at the white face. Whether from anger or not, a very faint blush appeared on the white cheeks.

He had noticed it before, but Yoon Pa-ran seemed truly immune to this kind of behavior. It was quite different from his usual actions, which strangely drew Dan Joo-hyuk’s attention.

This kind of teasing is fun too.

“Open your mouth.”

“Ugh.”

Dan Joo-hyuk suddenly approached and grabbed the small face. As he lowered his head and pressed their lips together, their gazes clashed fiercely.

He could see Yoon Pa-ran’s hands on his knees clenching into fists as if wanting to strike him immediately. Deliberately, as if to show off, Dan Joo-hyuk slowly licked Yoon Pa-ran’s lips with his tongue. The twitching of the skin, as if shuddering, strangely stimulated Dan Joo-hyuk even more.

Unable to bear it, Yoon Pa-ran’s hand tried to move stealthily. Seizing that moment, Dan Joo-hyuk parted Yoon Pa-ran’s lips and rubbed his tongue against the tender mucous membrane inside. The jaw muscles of Yoon Pa-ran, trembling under Dan Joo-hyuk’s fingertips that held his face, stood out prominently.

After rummaging around inside Yoon Pa-ran’s mouth for a while, Dan Joo-hyuk suddenly pushed him away.

“Hah…”

Fierce eyes poured onto him. Though gritting his teeth, the expression of slight relief that it was over was clearly readable.

Yoon Pa-ran, who always only showed wariness, revealed various emotions quite vividly at times like this.

“Well, don’t worry.”

Unable to take his eyes off that face, Dan Joo-hyuk reflexively voiced what he had thought beforehand.

Actually, I wasn’t planning to extort the skill today either, strange.

“I don’t intend to do it that often.”

Yoon Pa-ran, who had been rubbing his lips roughly with the back of his hand, made an expression as if to say, “Of course you shouldn’t.”

Although curiosity was his priority, Dan Joo-hyuk had various time constraints. It meant that finding secluded places to meet Yoon Pa-ran like this every time was quite time-consuming.

That’s what he meant, but seeing that blank expression made his mood twist again.

Why?

Whatever the reason, Dan Joo-hyuk didn’t need to hold back this emotion. He was about to naturally throw another sharp remark at Yoon Pa-ran.

A noisy status window popped up in front of his eyes.

“…!”

“…”

[■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ detected.]

[Warning! Gate creation speed will increase from now on.]

[Warning! Gate creation speed will increase from now on.]

⋮

[We pray for the protection of ■■■ ■■.]

Through the translucent window, Yoon Pa-ran’s face, frozen in surprise, appeared slowly for a moment.

It was the signal flare of human daily life, which had barely stabilized, being engulfed once again in the turbulence called gates.

“…”

“Huh…?”

Yoon Pa-ran unconsciously let out a blank sound. He struggled to read the text on the status window that had suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The status window was still popping up like crazy even at this moment. The repeatedly displayed messages contained ominous implications no matter how many times he read them.

Then he soon realized. That Dan Joo-hyuk’s gaze was also fixed on empty space.

This notification window hadn’t appeared only to him.

That fact felt even more ominous.

“Ah.”

As if shattering this unsettling air, Dan Joo-hyuk let out a low exclamation. Their gazes, which had briefly diverged into empty space, met again.

Dan Joo-hyuk flashed the brightest eye-smile Yoon Pa-ran had seen so far.

“Things have become interesting.”

Shit.

Was this the reason for the constant ominous feeling until now?
