S-Class Except Me

‘It would be nice if I could use a substitute.’ 

The problem is that this is not even Korea, so I don’t know where to find someone who can be used as a substitute. 

Haeun glanced back at Seo Dojoon. But soon shook her head. 

Not Seo Dojoon. What if he finds out that Haeun had Awakened when she involved him for no reason? It’s like burning a candle while trying to catch a bedbug.

Seo Dojoon, who was watching Haeun, opened his mouth.

“You’ve been looking at your phone all day.”

Haeun pouted her lips. When Hunter Seo Dojoon said that, she sounded like a useless person.

Right now, Haeun was making a very important plan. She can’t tell, so she just keeps it a secret.

Besides, she had many other things to do besides taking care of Baek Soyeon.

“There are so many things I can do with my cell phone. I have to watch YouTube. I have to watch TikTok. I have to watch the new releases on NetxLix and brag about being in the US right now on Outstagram!”  

“Who are you bragging to?”

“My friends went to Thailand without me.”

So many bad things happened to her that she ended up in America out of the blue, but Haeun would have gone on a trip with her friends as usual.

“Is Seo Dojoon-ssi really going to watch over me all day? Oh my, do you like me that much? Enough that you can’t take your eyes off me even for a second?” 

“I only watched Haeun-ssi for a week. That’s my contract and my job.” 

At Seo Dojoon’s words, Haeun closed her eyes. Expressions make it perfect for people to misunderstand. People would think they’re dating. After all, it has no official meaning. 

It would have been fun to tease him if he had been embarrassed. 

Haeun leaned back on the sofa and let out grumpy words.

“Tsk. I’m not going out anywhere and I’m at the accommodations, so there’s nothing dangerous.” 

“Danger is not the problem….” 

It’s a problem because she thinks there will be a silent accident. Seo Dojoon thought for a moment about why he was thinking about this when Haeun wasn’t quiet except when she ate or had an accident.

“Anyway, how about going out for a walk? Or you can go sightseeing.”

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ shouts to Haeun that this is an opportunity, saying that Seo Dojoon is proposing a date first.]

‘What opportunity?’

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ asks Haeun if she changed her mind and said it’s an opportunity to have a boyfriend.]

‘You’re doing it to mess around with stocks going up and down again.’ 

Haeun, who had already been caught by Seo Dojoon several times, reacted indifferently.

“Well. I didn’t expect Seo Dojoon-ssi to suggest that we go outside first.”

“Even in Korea, I have never stopped Haeun from going out.”

Well, Haeun went out with Seo Dojoon and ran away because she didn’t want to attract attention. 

‘What shall I do….’

As Seo Dojoon said, being alone in a room was boring. She had to think about how to face Baek Soyeon at the expo, but nothing comes to mind right now.

If so, wouldn’t it be fine to play outside and take a break, as Seo Dojoon suggested? She may come up with a good idea when she plays.

“Okay!” 

Haeun’s eyes sparkled.

When he looked into her lively, sparkling eyes, Seo Dojoon knew he had said something wrong, but it was too late to go back.

*****

“Seo Dojoon-ssi, please take a pretty picture.”

Click. She heard the sound of a cell phone camera.

The concept behind the shoot is that a New Yorker is lost in thought as she looks up at the sky of New York. She can be free anywhere with a self-improvement book that touches her soul. 

For reference, she bought the book right away to use as shoot equipment at a bookstore she saw on the way. 

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says he is taking a picture of Haeun, but why Haeun covered her face and saying he doesn’t know why she should feel ashamed of herself.]

Seo Dojoon worked hard to take pictures of Haeun sitting on a bench in front of the pond.

But, Haeun, who confirmed the results, said grumpily.

“What is this? My legs look so short!”

“It came out just like that.”

“I don’t think I heard you correctly, could you say it again?”

“There seems to be a problem with the camera. I’ll take it again.”

Seo Dojoon immediately lowered his words. He immediately raises his hands after rebels for no reason.

The two were currently taking pictures to upload to Haeun’s Outstar account. 

As the purpose is to show off, it is important to have photos that anyone can admire. It is a picture that has been distorted and fixed to some extent. 

However, Seo Dojoon took pictures of Haeun honestly and without lies, as if he were a member of the hyperrealism school. Haeun let out a sigh. 

“Sehyunie is really good at taking pictures like this.” 

She suddenly missed her little brother, who she’d left behind in Korea. Thinking that she should make a phone call this evening, Haeun once again recited caution details. 

“Hold your phone upside down and take it slightly at an angle. To the tip of your toes here.”

“Like this?”

“Noo.” 

After receiving the phone from Seo Dojoon, Haeun took a few steps back and took a few shots of Seo Dojoon.

Haeun grabbed Seo Dojoon’s hand in a rush of frustration and demonstrated it herself. A small hand was placed on top of the big hand. 

Click–.

Just in time, a dog passing by and walking was taken with long legs. Seo Dojoon couldn’t help but be impressed.

“This is a miracle.”

“Seo Dojoon-ssi can do it, too. Now, would you like to try again?”

Haeun returned to her place. She gathered her emotions and pretended to be a fatal thinker as she looked down at her book. However, despite Haeun’s special training, the results were not very good.

“Ah, really! Can’t you take a picture like this?”

Haeun was angry about the picture’s quality, which hadn’t changed. She felt she couldn’t find a picture she liked even if she had taken them all day.

“Give me my cell phone.”

After receiving the phone from Seo Dojoon, Haeun took a few steps back and took a few shots of Seo Dojoon. A man boasting a perfect 9-head-to-body ratio was captured in the photo.

Seo Dojoon stood in the sunlight shining through the leaves, boasting of his exceptional beauty that no one would beat.

She was just trying to demonstrate it and suddenly felt defeated for no reason.

‘Am I really short?’

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ comfort Haeun and says she’s taller than average.]

[However, the important thing is not height, but proportion…]

‘Noisy.’

No matter how difficult the hardship is, Jung Haeun never gives up! That was Haeun’s belief.

“Now. Take it again!”

Seo Dojoon nodded gloomily at the swamp he couldn’t escape.

After retaking dozens of shots, Seo Dojoon finally got out of his role as a photographer. As if mentally shaken, he said with a lifeless face.

“I’ll get something to drink.”

“I like iced Americano!”

“All right. Don’t move anywhere, stay here.”

“Okay.”

Haeun giggled and waved to Seo Dojoon. She laughed as she watched the back of his trudging walk.

Maybe because Seo Dojoon has only been working as a hunter since he Awakened, he was often not good at it in terms of everyday life.

Thinking that that was a little cute, Haeun checked the picture.

“Uhm, is it okay?”

It seems it came out well after a little correction with the app. She immediately opened the Outstagram application.

“If I upload just one, then I will upload the long-legged puppy I took earlier….” 

Haeun, who was looking around the photo album, stopped at Seo Dojoon’s picture. It’s a masterpiece that’s too good to be kept only on Haeun’s cell phone.

However, it was inconvenient to upload Seo Dojoon’s picture freely. She doesn’t want to show that she knows Seo Dojoon.  

“It’s still a waste to throw it away….” 

After thinking about it for a while, Haeun put a sticker on Seo Dojoon’s face. Although she completely covered his handsome face, his proportions alone made it feel superior. Thinking that no one would know about this, she posted a picture with Haeun. 

Nice weather for a walk♡

#NewYork #DailyLife #CentralPark

Looking at the hearts and comments that change in real time, Haeun nodded in satisfaction.

「Whoahaha!」

At that time, Haeun heard a commotion in her ears. The source of the noise was five or six people gathered in one corner of the park.

“What are they doing all together like that?”

She decided to look around for a while because she had to wait quietly until Seo Dojoon came anyway.

The laughter grew louder as she got closer. What Haeun saw as she squeezed through the crowd was three overturned cups on a small box.

“It’s a scam, right?”

However, the man’s attire stood out more than the flamboyant movements of his hands. 

Her eyes sting on the colorful red and yellow floral shirt. In addition, the more shocking thing is that he was wearing a flower necklace that could only be seen on the beach around his neck.

As if Haeun wasn’t the only one looking at the man’s unusual style, everyone walking by was also busy looking at him. Somehow, his fashion attracted more attention than the trick act.

Haeun, who observed the other person, gave one opinion.

‘What a waste of your face.’

The opponent had a pretty handsome appearance compared to the eccentric and nasty clothes. 

To exaggerate a bit, his face was as big as Haeun’s fist. The combination of the seductive and mysteriously sparkling yellow eyes was pretty good. The spotless bright blonde tied in half glistened in the sun.

He is a man who gives the impression of a cat as a whole.

‘But why do you wear clothes like that?’

If only he had dressed properly. No, if it hadn’t been for that flower necklace, there would have been women here who wanted to ask for his number, not old men watching the trick. 

Dressing like that after being born handsome is, at best, a failure to do his duty.

[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ secretly purchased stocks, saying that Haeun showed interest…]

‘It’s not like that.’

Haeun stopped her Constellation from starting his delusion over a candidate for her boyfriend again. She really can’t say anything. 

Then there was a thud over his box.

「Argh! No!」

「Haha! Brother, what a waste!」

「This is nonsense! This scam! What have you done?」

A fat man sitting in a seat sighed. The man wearing the flower necklace shrugged his shoulders. 

「What do you mean scam? I hate the word. It was a fair match.」

「Ugh… Let’s do one more round!」

「Brother, you already bet all your money. Will you stop and go?」

「…Damn it!」

The man, who seemed outraged, eventually spat out a few swear words and left the place. It seems that he lost everything he owned due to the trick of the swindler. Even so, it wouldn’t be long since it’s a fraud trick.

It was when Haeun stopped paying attention and tried to return to where she was. 

「Are you just going to watch? Give it a try.」

The man suddenly suggested to Haeun.
