EFME 94

As soon as Sunyul announced he was looking for a guild, he began to receive an overwhelming number of contacts.

He even started getting calls from overseas guilds, all of them offering Sunyul incredible terms. Sunyul was so shocked by some of the conditions that he nearly fainted.

Naturally, the domestic side did not want Sunyul going abroad. Even for an S-rank hunter, going to an overseas guild causes a significant stir, but for the world’s only EX-rank hunter, the issue would be far greater.

Even knowing this, foreign guilds desperately wanted Sunyul to join them.

Of course, Sunyul had no desire to sign with an overseas guild to that extent. He wasn’t even fully adjusted to Korea yet, so he had no wish to go to a foreign country.

Many offers came from within Korea as well. The most notable offers were from the Ene-cheong, the Cheongyeon Guild, and the Eunha Guild.

The offer from the Cheongyeon Guild was somewhat absurd. If they were going to be like this, they should have just told him to join from the start. They said they would meet whatever conditions he wanted, but if they were going to accommodate him so well, they shouldn’t have suggested the free hunter route in the first place.

The Eunha Guild’s terms were also quite good.

Sunyul thought back to Kim Huieun, the Guild Leader of Eunha, whom he had met previously at the Ene-cheong. She hadn’t left a bad impression. Although she had bickered childishly with Jaehoon… it was mostly Jaehoon picking fights one-sidedly.

“Sunyul, I heard Hunter Agnes wanted to meet with you.”

Furthermore, Huieun had gone so far as to use her connection with Shim Jaehee to contact Sunyul. She was quite persistent.

Eventually, Sunyul met with Huieun one-on-one.

Huieun, who had come up from Busan, greeted Sunyul in a formal suit. Her attitude clearly showed how seriously she was taking this meeting.

“Hello, Hunter Lim Sunyul.”

“Hello, Hunter Kim Huieun-nim.”

“Please call me Agnes.”

“Ah, yes. Hunter Agnes.”

Sunyul took a seat. The place where the two were sitting was inside a cafe in Seoul. It was a cafe with a very pretty interior, but the doors were closed as if the whole place had been rented out.

The owner had even left after preparing the menu… which made it quite awkward being left as just the two of them.

“I heard you like sweets, so I prepared this specifically. Please, have some.”

Placed in front of Sunyul was an afternoon tea set. Sunyul carefully tried a scone first. Sunyul’s eyes instantly went round. Even though it was just a scone, it was truly delicious.

“The taste is alright, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it’s delicious!”

“Have as much as you like.”

Huieun smiled.

‘She must have gone out of her way to find this out and take care of me, right?’

Unlike a certain someone who just suggests being a free hunter, she is very considerate. Sunyul gave Huieun extra points.

Huieun didn’t get straight to the point either, instead bringing up light conversation while drinking tea. Once the atmosphere had loosened up a bit, Huieun casually probed Sunyul.

“It seems you get along well with Hunter Muyoung.”

“Ye—yes. We’re getting along well. Haha…”

It was always awkward whenever he heard someone talk about Muyoung. It felt as if he were in a secret relationship. Though they weren’t dating, just sex partners.

Sex partners…

Is that why he told me to just be a free hunter? When Muyoung asked me to date, should I have just agreed instead of being stubborn for no reason? Sunyul regretted it a little, but he didn’t want to back down now.

“Hunter Lim Sunyul, there’s a high probability you’ll go to the Cheongyeon Guild, right?”

At Huieun’s words, Sunyul snapped out of it and nodded.

“Um… Honestly, yes.”

“I’d like you to think about the Eunha Guild one more time.”

Huieun spoke seriously.

“High-ranking S-rank hunters are excessively concentrated in Seoul. Eight out of the seventeen S-rank hunters are in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Thanks to that, the Seoul area is safe, but the southern region is relatively vulnerable. Of course, support comes from the central region for dungeons that have already appeared, but responding to suddenly appearing dungeons is very difficult.”

“…Ah, I see.”

“If there were just one more S-rank hunter, things would be much more manageable. Many people wouldn’t have to get hurt.”

Sunyul, who had been thinking lightly about it until now, nodded as if possessed.

“Please consider it seriously.”

“I will.”

Huieun left, having left a ripple in Sunyul’s heart.

Returning home, Sunyul hugged a pillow in his room and pondered.

He hadn’t even thought about the difference between the central and southern regions. It was such an obvious problem that he wondered why he hadn’t considered it.

Of course, Seoul is the most populous city, but even taking that into account, enough S-ranks were indeed concentrated in Seoul. It seemed like it would be good if at least one person went south.

And there was no reason why that person couldn’t be Sunyul.

While he was lost in thought, Muyoung knocked from outside. Sunyul, who hadn’t even realized someone had come, answered in a panic.

“Ye—yes?!”

Muyoung opened the door and walked into the bedroom. Sunyul sat up from where he was.

“There was no answer. I thought something might be wrong.”

“Ah. I was just thinking…”

“Thinking about what.”

Sunyul’s eyes darted around before he gulped.

“I think I might go to the Eunha Guild.”

At those words, Muyoung paused.

“Why.”

“I heard there are relatively fewer S-ranks in the south. I thought it might be better if I went.”

Ha. Muyoung let out a short laugh like a sigh.

“Did Kim Huieun tell you that? That S-ranks are lacking?”

“Yes.”

“On the contrary, the dungeon occurrence rate is lower in the south and there are many A-ranks, so there isn’t that much of a difference.”

“Mmm.”

“If it were lacking, Go Yoonjae or Shim Jaehee would have gone to Busan. They’re here because the balance is right.”

“I see…”

Sunyul didn’t really take Muyoung’s words to heart. It was because what Huieun had said had left such a strong impression.

When Sunyul seemed to barely be listening to him, Muyoung sighed.

“Don’t go.”

Muyoung said. Sunyul blinked, wondering if he had misheard.

“Pardon?”

“I said don’t go.”

Sunyul’s mouth hung open in disbelief.

“Now you’re saying this?”

“I didn’t think you’d actually try to go all the way to Busan.”

“…”

“I naturally thought you’d be by my side.”

Sunyul had thought so too. In truth, even though he had pondered it, he wasn’t prepared to leave at all. Since he had naturally assumed until now that the place he belonged was by Muyoung’s side.

“…”

Sunyul lowered his head. He felt sorry for Huieun, but… he really couldn’t go.

Still, he didn’t want to be honest this time. Muyoung should suffer as much as his own heart had been aching.

But Sunyul kept his mouth shut, feeling like his true feelings would be discovered immediately if he spoke. Fortunately, the silence was effective. Because it appeared as if Sunyul were quietly conflicted.

Muyoung reached out toward Sunyul. Then, as if he were caressing Sunyul’s lips, he pushed his fingers straight into Sunyul’s mouth. Sunyul’s eyes went round.

Muyoung’s fingers stirred inside Sunyul’s mouth. An strangely erotic sensation bloomed.

By the time his fingers were slowly withdrawn, Sunyul’s face was flushed.

“Do—don’t think you can get away with this by doing things like this.”

“I’m not doing this to get away with it.”

Saying so, Muyoung took off the jacket he was wearing. Even though he was just taking it off, somehow, somehow… should he call the movement perverse? His face flushed for no reason.

“I’m just doing it because I want to.”

Muyoung pulled his tie loose and took it off. He then gave Sunyul a peck and undressed him. Regardless of being grumpy, Sunyul didn’t dislike it either, so he followed Muyoung’s touch quietly.

As he quietly took off his top, Muyoung immediately flipped Sunyul’s body over. Then, he grabbed both of Sunyul’s arms, brought them together, and began to tie his wrists with the tie he was holding.

“…What are you doing?”

When Sunyul asked in a daze, Muyoung let out a chuckle.

“I’ll make you feel good.”

Having said that, Muyoung even took a blindfold out of his inventory and placed it over Sunyul’s face. He didn’t know why Muyoung carried such a thing in his inventory, but even when Sunyul shook his head, the blindfold didn’t fall off easily.

Muyoung also took off Sunyul’s pants and underwear, leaving him naked. However, Muyoung’s body touching his bare skin was covered in fabric, which made Sunyul feel ashamed that he was the only one undressed.

But there was no time to dwell on the shame. Muyoung began to thoroughly caress Sunyul as he was.

Perhaps because his eyes were covered, his other senses were more sharply attuned. Every time Muyoung’s body or hand lightly brushed against him, Sunyul trembled as if he had received some great caress.

“Hut…”

“Are you sticking it out so I’ll suck it?”

Muyoung said so and lightly squeezed and pulled a nipple. When he stimulated the nipple that had already been licked and sucked by Muyoung until it stood sharply, a ticklish yet slightly different, subtle sensation surged through his body.

Sunyul shook his head in a panic.

“No, I’m not!”

“Is that so? Then should I do it like this.”

Muyoung pressed down hard and rubbed the nipple with his fingertips. A force strong enough to make him cry out twisted the nipple. A strong force pressed down again on the spot that had been made sore from the twisting. Because it hurt, Sunyul flinched before finally pleading.

“Ple—please just suck it…”

At that plea, Muyoung immediately brought his tongue to it. His tongue licked the area while spread wide, then rubbed the sharp tip. He sucked it gently as if soothing the painfully stimulated spot, and it felt so good he could melt.

“Ha-eu… eut, uung…”

It felt good, but as expected, this wasn’t enough. Sunyul flinched his waist, not knowing what to do.

During this, Muyoung’s hand lightly brushed against Sunyul’s penis as if by accident. Every time that happened, Sunyul twisted his body, struggling to receive stimulation somehow.

Muyoung’s hand, which had been flicking and touching the penis, moved toward the back.

“The back is already wet.”

Sunyul’s face burned at the nonchalant words. Muyoung rubbed around the hole with his fingertips, but instead of stimulating it further, he withdrew his hand.

Leaving the penis and the hole alone, Muyoung concentrated on caressing other places. His tongue and hands moved along Sunyul’s body, rubbing, pulling, pushing, and tugging.

Sunyul was already completely flushed before they had even properly begun insertion. The uncomfortable posture and blocked vision weren’t much of a problem. With his fair body flushed all over, Sunyul groaned as if in pain.

“Ha, heu-eu… Guild, Guild Leader…”

Even without Muyoung saying it, he could feel that his back was completely wet. His penis was also standing stiffly, waiting for stimulation.

Muyoung bit deep into the inner thigh and then gently licked the smooth skin near the penis, but not the penis itself. Sunyul’s body flinched. If only he would lick just a little bit more to the side.

Muyoung’s fingertips suddenly entered the hole again. The moistly wet inner walls swallowed a single finger without much difficulty.

On the other hand, although insertion was easy, the foreign sensation Sunyul felt was considerable. But it wasn’t painful. Muyoung, who had checked Sunyul’s face, immediately pushed in one more finger.

“Ha-eut…”

The inner walls were stretched tight. Muyoung didn’t rush any further and moved his fingers. In that way, Muyoung thoroughly loosened Sunyul’s inside. Sunyul’s lower half was soaked and loosened to the point that it wouldn’t matter when he was entered.

Finally, Muyoung withdrew his fingers from inside Sunyul. Sunyul gulped, feeling a bit of anticipation.

However, instead of immediately entering, Muyoung adjusted his posture. It was a posture where Sunyul sat between Muyoung’s spread legs.

Sunyul felt Muyoung’s solid body against his back. He could also tell that Muyoung’s penis was stiffly erect inside his pants.

Sunyul wondered why he wasn’t putting it in when things had come to this. He didn’t know what Muyoung was thinking. Sunyul hesitated over whether to ask or not. This sort of thing was a bit embarrassing after all.

Still, just as he was about to ask because he was curious, Muyoung grasped Sunyul’s penis. And he began to stroke it just like that.

“Ah, a-eut, heu…”

Sunyul’s mind went blank. The thing that had been standing stiff for a long time already immediately pleaded for ejaculation.

“Guild, Guild Leader…”

The moment he was about to plead that he was going to come, Muyoung let go. Sunyul, suddenly unable to come, twisted his body in disappointment. But since his hands were tied, there was nothing he could do.
