Today was Valentine's Day. She found out about this book and.. and... said... she said I'm a psycho and an insensitive man... I tried to explain *sigh* it turned into an argument...
I thought how could she have found out... turns out, my friends were happy drunk and started boasting about this when I went to bathroom like I was some sort of a celeb author or something...
This chapter was written 10 days ago so it's good, well the uploads will be fewer because I need to write for the Patreon and I'm not in my right mind to write good stuff...
Happy Fucking Valentine's to you all too. FUCK!

The beach party was in full swing as the afternoon turned to evening. Laughter and music filled the air as Azaroth's classmates played games in the surf.
A group of girls had surrounded Jinwoo, who was conversing with them with some awkwardness.
Azaroth had talked to him and then shooed him saying, he should not act like an introvert.
Azaroth wanted to exclude himself from Mobs, so he made him a scapegoat.
Azaroth sat on the seaside benches with Jin-ah, Song-yi, and Yoo Soohyun.
They watched the magnificent sunset painting vibrant colors across the sky and ocean. A comfortable silence fell as each enjoyed the serenity of the moment.
SooHyun had clicked a lot of photos and Azaroth also told her that she could get the videos captured by the professionals of herself.
Azaroth glanced at Song-Yi and Song-Yi slightly nodded.
"Hey, Jinah!" She called Jinah who was absentmindedly looking at the setting sun.
"Ah! Yes?" Jinah asked.
"I need to go to the washroom, would you mind accompanying me..?" Song-yi asked to which Jinah nodded with a smile, "Sure, let's go"
Now only SooHyun and Azaroth were left alone
watching the mesmerizing spectacle of the sunset painting the sky with hues of orange and pink.
Azaroth didn't talk and just looked at the scene in front of him while sipping his apple juice.
SooHyun, her sunglasses now perched atop her head, turned to Azaroth with a curious expression. "So, Azaroth," she began, her voice soft against the gentle sound of the waves, "what are your goals for the future?"
He gazed at his juice glass and took a last sip, considering her question. "Thinking of registering as a hunter."
Her brows rose. "Oh, C'mon, look at You! With those good looks, I figured you'd be chasing fame as an idol."
"I mean, I've watched your video, but... isn't that risky..?" She said.
Azaroth chuckled. "Being a hunter is something I've always wanted... That's the only thing I ever dreamed of since I was a kid.."
"Well, My younger brother has also registered as a hunter," She said fully focused on the conversation.
"Oh! How many siblings do you have?" Azaroth asked gaining interest.
"Me? Nah, I'm the alone child but I have 3 cousins, 2 brothers, and 1 sister.." She replies.
"Hmm, and they all are hunters?" He tilted his head.
At, this point, Yoo Soohyun noticed that Azaroth really didn't know about her background. Well, looking at his own background, her's paled in comparison.
"Not even close. one works as a Managing Director in my uncle's company, one lives in Japan, and the youngest one decided to be a hunter, but he is just a D-rank. You on the other hand might even be an A-rank, right?" She said then asked as she looked at him.
"And why do you think so highly of me..?" Azaroth asked with an intrigued smile.
"Hello Mr., I just told you that I've watched your video, didn't I?" SooHyun pouted, "Plus, it's what every news network is saying." She continued.
"Well, my rank doesn't matters," He said and leaned back on his bench.
"Using my skills to help people, make a difference - that's important to me." He continued looking at the now slightly visible stars.
His eyes shimmered beautifully and laying back with his chiseled abs were swaying due to his breathing, he looked like a Greek god.
SooHyun looked at him in a daze, she really hadn't thought that the infamous Azaroth Morningstar would be this mature and charming.
"Azaroth... You really are a good guy, huh?" Her tone held an edge of surprise as well as admiration.
"Really?"He waved off the compliment. "Are you flirting with me, Miss Yoo?" He looked at her with interest.
She chuckled at his boldness and replied with a sly wink. "Heh, you're too young for me to do that~"
He was more and more liking her personality...
She was bold, beautiful, sensible, reasonable, extrovert-ish, and a competent woman.
Plus her playfulness added another layer to her already intriguing personality.
"Yup, thank God," he sighed dramatically, "as I'm not into older women~"
Is he the same man who has been lusting over Jinah's mother..?
"Waa..What?! You called me old!" She gasped in mock offense.
"You were the one who implied that.." he retorted playfully.
"Haa... you got a point there," she conceded with a giggle.
They both looked at each other.
"Pfft.. hahaha"x2
They both burst into laughter.
Poor girl. If only she knew what was going on inside his head...
♣♣♣
Inside a large building,
Yoo Myunghan,, the Chairman of Yoojin Construction sat back in his leather chair, eyes scanning the paperwork before him. But his focus kept drifting to the window, gazing out at the city below as dusk fell.
"Any word?" he asked gruffly, not looking up. His secretary hesitated.
"I'm afraid not, sir."
Myunghan uttered a short, humorless laugh. "He's barely more than a boy. In over his head."
His worries ran deeper than he let on, even to his closest employees. As the company chairman, he had to project an air of stern control.
But Jinho was his youngest, still so reckless and impulsive.
Today, he had gone for his first dungeon clearance, "That boy, although I've gifted his expensive gear, I still can't stop but worry..*sigh*"
When Jinho had stated that he wanted to be a hunter, Mr. Yoo had his doubts. He wanted him to focus more on the family business and work under his older brother.
But—
Despite his instincts to hold back the boy, he knew it was futile. Jinho would need to find his own path and prove himself capable.
Just then, his secretary receives a call and exclaims in shock.
"Hello?... Wait, what?..... How?..." His secretary mumbled those words in disbelief.
Yoo Myunghan watches the scene with a furrowed brow, his eyes narrowing in concern.
After a brief conversation, the secretary ended the call in a panic. Yoo Myunghan observed with a deepening frown.
"Well? What has happened?" he demanded sternly.
The secretary gulped nervously. "S-sir, that was the Hunter's Association on the line. It seems..."
He hesitated but knew there was no avoiding the terrible news. "The team your son.. I-I mean Master Jinho entered the dungeon with.. has returned.."
"Oh! Is he hurt? Is he coming back?" Yoo Myunghan asked.
The secretary didn't know how to say it, so he decided to say everything or the situation would be more worse,
"*Ehm!* T-The team has returned from inside the Dungeon Gate, but... only with six of the previous eight hunters have returned.. and... and master Jinho... was not among them.."
Myunghan slammed his fist onto the desk, a crack forming in the polished wood. "What? Is he inside the dungeon?"
"S..Sir the Dungeon has been closed... it means.."
Another uneasy pause.
"The association says that it means Master Jinho is presumed d.. deceased within."
Meanwhile, still on the beach....
"Why are the girls taking so long?" Asked Yoo Soohyun, well she didn't mind the company of Azaroth...
"Heh, who knows?, maybe bathroom selfies..?" He shrugged.
It seems Song-Yi is doing her part right, I should reward my pet for her hard work...
"So, you really don't want to become an idol huh.." She asked for the nth time.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Azaroth turned to SooHyun. "You know," he said, his voice teasing, "hunters are pretty popular with the girls. And they are more of a celebrity than the celebrities~" He said as he licked his lips imitating a horny guy.
"Pfft.. Oh god, which one is you, one moment you are all so serious about saving people and following your dream, the next you are a funny guy to be around."
She said, she didn't know but she had started to like his personality...
He raised his brows, "Hmm, who knows which one is the real me..? Maybe both of your guesses are wrong and I turned out to be someone else entirely? " He tilted his head.
"Ohh~ This convo is turning more and more interesting huh!" She said, smiling, maybe she finally found a good boyfriend material..? Too bad that he has Song-Yi though...
"So, Azaroth," SooHyun began, her voice soft and melodic as she tugged her stray hair behind her ear. "Tell me more about yourself. Who is the real Azaroth Morningstar?"
Azaroth grinning, turned to her completely but as he was going to say something—
♪Buzz ♫ Buzz♪
Soohyun's phone started buzzing.
She didn't even looked at the caller ID and cut the call, fully emerged on her talk with Azaroth.
"Sorry about that, you were saying somethin—"♪Buzz ♫ Buzz♪
Her phone started buzzing again...
"I think you should take the call, it can be important," Azaront suggested.
Soohyun slightly irritated by the call when everything was going well decided to follow Azaroth's suggestion and picked it up.
".....N..No way..." She muttered and the phone fell off of her now trembling hands.
