Although he wasted a lot of time and got injured, he was successful in defeating the boss monster. The child never woke up even once, no matter how Samseung manipulated it, and he also learned how to use psychokinesis like a force field to protect the sleeping child.
Finally, the gate was cleared. It was still dark outside. Before even treating the wound, Hyeon Gyu-ha was out of breath and first, he urgently checked the child's condition.
The child was still asleep. Only when the tension was released did the wound begin to throb and hurt.
<Gyu-ha-ssi! What happened? Are you hurt?>
The teacher who discovered Hyeon Gyu-ha covered in blood after he went out to the bathroom was very surprised and came running.
Hyeon Gyu-ha had managed to place the child in the shade behind the building before that. The third Urshitoare explained that the Erosion Gate they had just visited was a world where life was declining and dying, so there would be absolutely nothing harmful to the human body.
In that case, the kid would be safe too, so it would be better to just stay out of this situation. If he got involved with someone who cleared the gate, he would end up being the subject of unnecessary gossip.
Hyeon Gyu-ha stopped the teacher who was running towards him in a hurry.
<Don't come, I need to quarantine.>
<What?>
<I fell into the erosion gate and came back.>
With those words, he squeezed out his leftover mana and flew up into the sky. He passed the teacher with a dumbfounded expression and looked at the little boy he had secretly laid down.
'I hope you're healthy, live well, and grow up well…… And thank you for worrying about me even though you must have been scared because of me!
After saying goodbye with just his lips, he flew off to find the hospital. That was his last time with the orphanage.
It would be a shame for the orphanage to boast about a hunter who had conquered the gate on his own at the age of nine, but strangely enough, the director was quiet. He didn't know why, but as long as nothing bothered him, he probably didn't care.
<Hyung-ah, are you sick?>
Sometimes, I thought of the child's eyes that were sobbing, and I also wanted to go and check if he was living a healthy life.
Every time, Hyeon Gyu-ha swallowed his impulse with bitterness. When he thought of the child who had almost suffered great humiliation because of him, he suppressed his longing to see him. For the sake of the child, it would be better not to get involved in the future.
Hyeon Gyu-ha spent 19 years like that.
The personal statement file of the person in question appeared on the tablet screen. The pupils slowly scanned the screen. Age, date of birth, blood type, awakening ability.
And history.
Cheongsol Orphanage.
“Um.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha let out an ambiguous sigh. He had hoped it would be, but it wasn’t the Saetbyeolwon where he once stayed. He tried to recall what the child looked like, but he was trying to forget it on purpose, and more than anything, it was 19 years ago, so he couldn’t remember it properly.
'Inanna, who had also received a request from Samseung, suddenly gave a gift to Yoo-shin-ssi, so I had hoped it would be a good thing…… But it wasn't!
Since it was Samseung who took care of the child at that time, I wondered what kind of tricks she had done.
I was half relieved that he didn't get involved with me, and half sad that the little boy who used to cry so much wasn't In Yoo-shin. On the positive side, the world where two such good people exist seems pretty beautiful.
It's a good thing I didn't kill them all 14 years ago.
So, Hyeon Gyu-ha met In Yoo-shin the next day and was able to ask him a few simple questions.
"Yoo-shin-ssi. Before you went to Dalgasa, the place you were at was Cheongsol orphanage, right, Yoo-shin-ssi?"
It really didn't mean anything. I'm also donating anonymously to Dalgasa Orphanage. If In Yoo-shin doesn't have any ill feelings, I just thought about donating to Cheongsol Orphanage.
“Cheongsol?”
However, In Yoo-shin seemed unfamiliar with the name of the orphanage where he grew up, and after thinking for a moment, nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the name of the orphanage center was changed to Cheongsol after the director was arrested, but I forgot. When I was there, the name was Saetbyeolwon."

The last person I texted before going to bed was always Hyeon Gyu-ha. Since I rarely received texts late at night, Hyeon Gyu-ha's text was always at the top of the list the next morning, but today, a different text arrived.
It was Min Geut-nyeo's call that he just checked because he went to bed early because he was tired from going to the dungeon. Min Geut-nyeo, who he exchanged contact information with at the hospital, often sent him texts saying, "If he's Hunter Hyeon's boyfriend, he's like a little brother to me." She was so friendly that I felt sorry for secretly worrying about her knowing that I was close with Hyeon Gyu-ha.
The text I received last night was also a normal greeting. When she asked me to have a meal together later, I replied that I would. Even as I was writing the reply indifferently, I was surprised again. I never thought I would ever get to text a third generation chaebol.
'Do you think if I tell Seung-gi, he'll be as surprised as when he found out I was dating Gyu-ha?’
Min Geut-nyeo's profile picture was of her with her daughter. It was heartbreaking to think that such a cute child, laughing while being held by her mother, would die before she was even 10 years old.
“Squeak.”
6-seya, who was just about to go to bed, cried softly in the cage, perhaps sensing his owner's strange mood.
"No, it's nothing."
In Yoo-shin smiled and gently caressed 6-se until he fell asleep. As time went by, it was getting close to the time he had to go to work. After he quickly washed up and had a meal, Hyeon Gyu-ha arrived and rang the doorbell.
On our way to work together like that, he brought up the topic of orphanage centers.
“When I was there, the name was Saetbyeolwon.”
It was just a small part of a casual conversation, a light response to a light question. However, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s reaction to hearing that story was somewhat strange.
He stood there for a moment, his face as if his soul had left him, and looked down at In Yoo-shin. In Yoo-shin tilted his face.
"Gyu-ha-ssi? Why are you suddenly like this?"
He put his hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever, but as soon as his hand touched his skin, Hyeon Gyu-ha was startled as if he had been struck by lightning.
“......Yes? Oh, yes! Yes, yep! Yes!"
"What?"
"Ah, so that's what it is. Yes, yes."
"...?"
Suddenly, Hyeon Gyu-ha broke down.
“Are you okay?”
When he took a step closer, he was startled so much that he backed away. I don't know what happened, but it was really serious. Even when I was misunderstanding because of the ring, I was the type of person who would only take half a step back.
"What's really going on? Did 8-se cause another accident?"
"N-n-n-n-no. No. There’s nothing wrong. Nothing is wrong, Master, please rest assured, and I hope you are well, healthy, and in good health…… Ughk!"
They were leaving the attic, and there were stairs leading to the first floor. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been hesitating, twisted his foot on the stairs.
A single scream was followed by a loud crash as he rolled down the stairs.
In Yoo-shin was shocked. How serious is it if he can't even use psychokinesis?
"Gyu-ha-ssi! Gyu-ha-ssi!"
While running down the stairs in a hurry, In Yoo-shin almost tripped and fell. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was curled up at the bottom of the stairs, sat there with a blank expression as if he wasn’t in any pain, but when In Yoo-shin hit his heel on the forehead, he flinched.
"You don’t have to care for this little rat......."
"It's nothing! Your forehead is bleeding!"
Since he wasn't the type of person to say he was hurt, whether his bones were cracked or broken, he started by healing his arms and legs right away.
'Then…… Ah! Ribs!'
If your ribs are cracked, you can't even use a cast. He quickly put his hand on his chest, and the door to the house creaked open.
"Rooftop Bachelor. What were you talking about? What did you drop?"
Even though Hyeon Gyu-ha rolled down the stairs and broke a flower pot on the edge, the landlady was truly shocked to see blood streaming down his hair and forehead.
I have to get a first aid kit. I have to go to the hospital right away. I barely managed to calm the flustered grandmother down. When he asked her for the price of the flower pot and left the house, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s ribs was still broken.
"Can you come to work? Should I ask the manager for you to take sick leave?"
"I am so embarrassed by the kindness of Master, who personally cares for a little rat like me..."
“……”
What should I do? Did your head get hurt too........
He grabbed one arm of Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was talking nonsense with a face that didn't even know what he was talking about, and took him to the hospital. If I left him alone, he might roll away again.
After calling a taxi through the app, Hyeon Gyu-ha came to his senses.
