“Hello......”
-hey! Kim Yoo-shin! No, In Yoo-shin! What have you done?!
He woke up in the middle of the night and answered the phone, but the person shouted loudly, so he was more distracted. He looked at his phone again to see who it was, and it was a friend from the same orphanage as him.
“Park Seung-gi? You woke up someone who’s sleeping and what’s this all of a sudden?”
- hey. So why did you ignore my text message?!
“Because I was sleeping.”
- anyway! I sent you an address via text message. Check it out. It’s you, right? No matter how mosaic you are, I thought I recognized you.
What are you talking about.
In Yoo-shin tilted his head and checked the message. The link led to a large community post.
-I’m a public servant of Ministry of Service and Safety, but I’m unraveling the story of Gyu-ha’s actual visit at the company.txt
I heard a scream as I was going for a walk after eating a spicy pork over rice for lunch, and the parking lot was spinning around like a conveyor belt sushi. I was surprised to see if the gate had opened, but there was a person falling from the roof…
Have you ever seen someone fall off a rooftop? My head really goes blank, and I don’t think about anything for a moment. It fell very quickly, but it felt like it took an exceptionally long time to fall.

But ㅋㅋㅋㅋstill ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋperson just stopped all of a sudden ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋwow you really have to witness this with your own eyes. It was right on the floor where you couldn’t really even put a finger in it. And...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ The halo flashed and Gyuha-nim came down from the air and picked up the fallen person with psychokinesisㅠㅠㅠㅠ It was like watching a real movie ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
My Gyu saved someone again ㅠㅠ The next-door neighbor Hunter (I won’t tell you who it is, but.. heh) always says hello in terms of society, but he caught a bank robbery last week and saved another person this week ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
That’s at least what I thought...
When I came back to the office, I heard that it was a girlfriend… He must have been dating her lover on the rooftop garden... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It would be nice... Gyu gave her a ride the gyro drop himself.....
But it’s okay... If You’re happy, I’m happy too……
ㄴ You’re saying something like ‘Gyu’. Fuck, is this Hyeon Gyu-ha’s fan community? Nicknames that only go through with each other are only used by each other. Isn’t it embarrassing to do d?
ㄴㄴHey, why are you in such a hurry?
ㄴ I’m also working at the Ministry of Service and Safety, so it’s nice hahaha It wasn’t a joke to salt at work today. I heard her nickname is ‘Master’? It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of such a nickname being spoken by upbringing; It seems that there is no embarrassing thing when you reach number 1 in the rankings...
ㄴBut it’s hard to see because her face is mosaic, isn’t she a girl with a short cut? Is it an illusion in my eyes that the shoulder line looks like a man??????
ㄴㄴYou forgot the most important word. He’s his boyfriend.
????????????
“……?”
In Yoo-shin closed the bulletin board, trying to look away from the 999 comments that were updated in real time, and said, “Did he say you’re his Master? It’s not like SM play, is it? How did you meet! hey! In Yoo-shin! hey! Hey!
I do not know.
I didn’t see anything, I didn’t hear anything, I didn’t know anything. I really don’t know.
That night, In Yoo-shin had a nightmare where Hyeon Gyu-ha bounced him like a trampoline from the rooftop to the parking lot.
“Uh. Even if I have a nightmare like that...………….”
He suffered from nightmares and eventually woke up in the middle of the night. Maybe it was because he was in a dream, but Hyeon Gyu-ha’s smile was much bloodier. Whether he screamed or not, he laughed brightly and said, ‘If you didn’t tame, this wouldn’t happen.’ His bouncing face was truly terrifying.
Okay.
It’s like a handsome face that has risen white from the corner of a dark room over there………….
“Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
“Hiyaaack!!”
Ghost! Robber! No, in either case, he was at least an F-class Awakener, and he was as weak as a candle in front of the wind.
In Yoo-shin screamed and covered 6-se’s Cage with his whole body.
“If you’re a ghost, I don’t know what kind of grudge you have, but I didn’t do everything well anyway! If you’re a robber, I’ll give you all the cash!”
“Yoo-shin-ssi.”
“To me, this mouse is like a child………….”
“Yoo-shin, it’s me.”
“It’s only been two years since………….uh?”
In Yoo-shin was stunned and opened his lips. It was Hyeon Gyu-ha.
“Hu-hunter-nim. How did you...…………? I? Didn’t I lock the door?”
“I came in through the front door.”
“Ah.”
In Yoo-shin’s head creaked and moved. The entrance seen through the partition with a modest assortment of colors somehow felt empty. He didn’t know if it’s just him, but a cold wind seems to come in.
“The door...”
“Yes. It would look like a thief if I smashed it completely, so I only broke the hinge and came in.”
“That’s right…….”
It’s the same as tearing the door, but if you break the hinge, you’re not a thief...
He didn’t know what the difference was, but In Yu-shin just nodded blankly.
“When did you come here?”
“It’s been about two hours.”
“Why did you come...”
“You’re not answering my calls.”
Come to think of it, he turned off his phone before going to bed. In Yoo-shin quietly turned on his cell phone. In the dark, the LCD light was bright, and the phone booted up. And confirmed that there were 124 missed calls.
There were calls from Park Seung-gi and other friends, but most of them were from only one person.
In Yoo-shin was very confused as to what expression to look at the man who made 120 calls to his cell phone that had been turned off. It seemed like the price of 120 missed calls would come back if he watched it with an honest feeling that he was scared to death.
Hyeon Gyu-ha’s face reflected in the light of the pale LCD light looked even more gloomy.
“I called to say good night, but your cell phone was turned off. Could it be that you turned off your cell phone to reject me because you didn’t like me? The moment I thought this, it felt like the world was collapsing.”
“.......”
“Maybe this is how you feel when you find out that a stray dog or a stray cat has been abandoned.”
“......”
“I was out of my mind. I kept calling even though I knew your phone was off.”
“.......”
“I really couldn’t make any rational decisions.”
Cold sweat ran down his spine.
In Yoo-shin finally realized that he hadn’t fully understood the gravity of the fact that he was ‘taming people’.
“When I made up my mind to just blow up the gate, wondering if there was any meaning in the world where you rejected me, I just remembered that I knew the house, so I just had to go find it. When I came, I found that you were sleeping.”
In addition, he, who had been sleeping without thinking, even learned that Seoul was almost destroyed.
“A-are you okay now?”
“I guess it depends on your answer.”
“We-well…………. It’s absolutely not because I don’t want to answer Hunter-nim’s phone calls! My friend keeps bothering me...”
In Yoo-shin hurriedly showed the link that Park Seung-gi sent. It was a post he would never have shown to others out of embarrassment at any other time, but now he was in no position to hide it.
“After reading this article, I kept asking what kind of relationship I had with Hunter-nim, so I just turned off my phone.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha skimmed through the posts with dry eyes. While he was asleep as an escape from reality, the comment window exploded.
“Yes. That’s an understandable reason. You must have been surprised too.”
His face with his head raised seemed to have returned to his usual expression to some extent, but the tension of In Yoo-shin did not dissipate at all. In Yoo-shin said with all his might, as if he had promised himself.
“I’ll definitely find a way to cancel taming.”
“I don’t expect much from you, but I will trust you anyway.”
“I’m in a situation where I have nothing to say, but aren’t Hunter-nim more uncomfortable with these rumors? Besides, there are even rumors that Hunter-nim, who is heterosexual, is dating a man...……….”
“When you’re in an open relationship, it’s rather welcome because no one will be surprised if I cling to you because of separation anxiety. And whether I meet a man or a witch, my ranking will not drop.”
Every time the word ‘separation anxiety’ came out of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s mouth, it felt like his heart shook. Wouldn’t my lifespan be shortening day by day?
“More than that, Yoo-shin-ssi.”
“Yes?”
“I’m Hyeon Gyu-ha.”
“Yes?”
“My name. How long are you going to call your lover Hunter-nim?”
“Ah, but I’m a lot younger than Hunter-nim, so calling you by name is a bit too much.”
“Of course not. I’m just six years older.”
In Yoo-shin’s mouth was closed due to the extremely Korean-style ordering.
“You could just call me Hyung then?”
It’s not a bad name, but it’s a bit burdensome. I’m afraid someday, if we cancel taming, we will go back to being strangers like when we didn’t know each other, but even then, we couldn’t pretend to be friends.
“Can I call you Gyu-ha-ssi?”
“Master, do as you please.”
That’s how the title became ‘Gyu-ha-ssi’. In Yoo-shin said in his mouth, ‘Gyu-ha-ssi’ and rolled it a little in his mouth. He needed to get used to it, so he didn’t make mistakes when he’s with other people.
But wouldn’t it be okay to call him without hesitation when there are two of them?
“Hunter-nim...”
“Gyu-ha-ssi.”
“......What are you going to do today, Gyu-ha-ssi?”
He was anxious about sleeping in a house with broken doors, so he planned to take the 6-se’s Cage to a nearby motel tonight. Even if the house was empty, there would be no thieves stealing from it anyway, so it was enough as long as he could preserve his body.
But Hyeon Gyu-ha ran through his hair with an expression asking why he was asking for something so obvious.
“I’m going to be sleeping here?”

HM: I love how Gyu-ha just spoke in the dark like a ghost as if he was pranking. Our poor MC got really scared. Of course, don’t do this in real life. It will scare the hell out of people.
