Legendary Designer Choi Nari (4)
Kim Eun-bi woke up after a good, deep sleep.
"Ah, Oppa..."
She seemed delighted to find me right there beside her when she opened her eyes. With a beaming smile, she snuggled straight into my arms.
"Hungry?"
It was a given. No need to point out that hunters required more food than ordinary people. Even a regular person would be starving after two and a half hours of intense sex followed by a long nap.
"Yeah..."
Kim Eun-bi made a pouty face as she finally registered her own hunger.
"Let's eat."
While she was sleeping, I'd already ordered food. Way more than enough for two people—especially when one was a petite girl like her.
But the calories we'd burned today were beyond imagination. Sex between hunters inherently consumed mana, and I'd consciously injected mana into her. Harmonizing new mana with her own wasn't some mechanical process. Amid the peak pleasure, she'd likely suffered massive energy loss from the mana reactions inside her.
We ate in silence, devouring the food like it was being vacuumed up. Only after polishing off more than half the delivery spread on the table did Kim Eun-bi snap out of it.
"Oppa!"
"Yeah?"
"Why am I like this?"
"Like what?"
"I feel so full of energy. Like, I can't even put it into words. I should be exhausted, but what's going on with me?"
Her wide-eyed stare was adorable. I chuckled—"Heh heh heh"—and explained.
Kim Eun-bi already knew about the various things that had happened to me. She'd even heard about Choi Yunmi today. But she didn't know the specifics of how those events had changed and strengthened me.
Of course, she'd felt the difference in our recent sex, but my evolution went even further.
I explained to her why she was brimming with energy even after all that.
"For real? I can become an S-rank hunter?"
"Yeah. That's what I plan to make happen."
"Really... Is that even... possible?"
Kim Eun-bi stared at me in stunned disbelief, then glanced down at her own body. She was still naked. Crumbs from our rushed meal dotted her skin.
Actually, she didn't even need confirmation from me. She'd admitted feeling overflowing with energy herself. I'd just told her why.
"Oppa, finish eating and let's do it again."
"Was planning on it anyway."
"Hee hee hee."
Her bashful grin was too cute. But I sensed it wasn't just excitement over becoming an S-rank hunter. She was thrilled at the prospect of more sex with me after our two-and-a-half-hour session and a nap. Opportunities to have me all to herself were rare for her.
An idea popped into my head, so I mentioned it.
"Got a message from Yunmi. She set up a meeting with Choi Nari. You free tonight?"
"Yeah, totally. But we gotta hurry~"
Kim Eun-bi glanced at the wall clock.
"Sex, shower, and getting ready—we're short on time."
It wasn't even noon yet, so time wasn't really an issue. Still, she clearly wanted to stretch out every extra minute with me. I felt the same.
Besides, I couldn't guarantee I'd turn her into an S-rank before meeting Choi Nari. This was a challenge for me.
Time to get to work.
"Haaang! Haa! Haaaaang!!"
It was six-thirty in the evening. Kim Eun-bi, locked in missionary with me, clung tightly to my neck, her hips shuddering violently. At the same moment, intense light radiated from both our bodies. The spot where my cock met her pussy felt warm and full.
I was certain.
It's done!
Kim Se-in had been the first A-rank hunter I'd evolved to S-rank. Now Kim Eun-bi was the second—and she'd only become A-rank herself a short while ago. This achievement carried even greater weight.
Love juices trickled onto the bedsheets as Kim Eun-bi gasped raggedly. She felt it too. The fundamental change deep inside her.
She'd described feeling energized after waking and eating, but this sensation dwarfed that.
"Haa, haa..."
After catching her breath for a while, she looked up at me.
"It worked, right? I'm S-rank now...?"
I smiled and nodded.
"Ah, for real... Haaa..."
She was too overwhelmed to speak properly. I stroked her hair gently.
"We should start getting ready to head out."
When we arrived at the restaurant, Choi Yunmi was seated with an unfamiliar woman. It was a high-end place, and we were the only customers. Choi Yunmi must have arranged it.
Renting out a spot like this for dinner? The cost was mind-boggling. But neither she nor I had to worry about money.
What would Choi Nari be like?
Her appearance screamed "designer" at first glance. Flashy hairstyle, bold outfit. Yet it blended perfectly with the restaurant's upscale vibe. A mark of true elite talent? No wonder top brands and celebrities sought her designs.
Apart from that, she looked far younger than expected. Heavy makeup, but she couldn't have passed for more than her early twenties.
That tracked—Kim Seol-bi called her "Nari" casually, and she was Kim Eun-bi's friend. Hitting the peak of her field at such a young age meant her skills weren't innate. Hunter abilities. Probably on par with S-rank.
She was tall—even sitting, it was obvious. Her crossed legs stretched elegantly, knees nearly brushing the table. Slender build overall, with a boyish style: one side of her hair cropped short.
Despite it all, my first impression was stunning. Perfect proportions that would suit any outfit. Striking features, radiating a powerful, magnetic aura.
She slowly lifted her gaze to me and Kim Eun-bi.
"Nari!"
"Yeah~?"
Unlike Kim Eun-bi's cheerful greeting, Choi Nari gave an awkward smile. Probably because of me.
From the vibe, Choi Yunmi hadn't mentioned me. She expected Kim Eun-bi, but not an extra guy.
I could read it in her demeanor. Sure enough, she furrowed her brow slightly and asked Choi Yunmi,
"Who's this guy?"
Her tone was blunt, unapologetic. A strong personality that brushed off conventions. She'd stopped taking design commissions from any hunter after the Jo Dong-geun incident—that took guts few could muster.
Her sharp reaction likely stemmed from assuming I was a hunter. She had a deep aversion to them. Limiting it to just Jo Dong-geun wouldn't capture the full trauma. Especially since he was publicly portrayed as Korea's righteous guardian.
She'd rebelled hard against society's two-faced hypocrisy. No matter how much I tried to suppress it, my aura leaked out naturally. Plenty of reason for her to peg me as a hunter.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Sung-gi."
I approached the table and greeted her first.
"Kang Sung-gi?"
"First time hearing the name, right? I'm a total newbie hunter—no real track record yet."
"Oppa! Newbie? Pfft~"
Kim Eun-bi teased from beside me like it was ridiculous. Technically true, though. By timeline, I only became a proper hunter after meeting Kim Seol-bi—later than her.
"Unnie?"
Choi Nari turned back to Choi Yunmi, demanding an answer.
"I set this up because it's necessary. Just bear with it a bit."
Choi Yunmi took Choi Nari's hand. Choi Nari looked seriously displeased. She was close to both women, but feeling deceived into an unwanted meeting would sour anyone.
"It's for something you need to hear."
Choi Yunmi coaxed gently.
"Do you know why Jo Dong-geun hasn't shown his face lately?"
"What?"
Choi Nari's composure cracked. Choi Yunmi's sharp, I thought. For an impatient type like her, cutting straight to the chase was fastest.
She leaned in and whispered into Choi Nari's ear.
"What?"
Choi Nari whipped her head toward me, eyes and expression completely transformed from moments ago.
