Chapter 95: The Man Called the ( ) God of the Hunting Pocha.
Boom! Bo-oom! Pa-pa-pa-pa-bam! Boom! Bam! Boom! Bam!
Loud, thumping music filled the air.
"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"
A strange chant broke out, though no one really knew why they were doing it.
"Hey, would you mind if I joined you for a drink?"
"No, sorry... we're just here to hang out among ourselves. Apologies."
"Ah; okay..."
A man trying to make a move, and a woman rejecting him based on pure instinct even without seeing his face.
It’s been a really long time.
Aside from the fact that everyone was wearing masks, the place was a carbon copy of a hunting pocha.
Memories came flooding back of standing in line on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 10 PM, trying to get into one of these places.
Fond memories of waiting there, whether it was freezing or sweltering, just to somehow get lucky with a girl.
I remembered how I used to dress to the nines at first, but eventually got so used to it that I’d just show up in a tracksuit.
Since the absolute fundamental of hunting is your face anyway, clothing didn't really matter that much.
Though it doesn't seem like that's the case here.
Perhaps they felt they had to maintain a certain level of aristocratic dignity since they named the group 'Noble.'
The atmosphere was that of a hunting pocha, but if you looked only at the outfits, it looked like a luxury fashion show.
Even if they dressed casually and without excess, luxury brands have a way of standing out.
Melanie, standing right next to me, was wearing the equivalent of several years' salary for a middle-class worker.
"Ugh, this is exactly why I don't like this place. Always playing loud music and drinking... I don't understand what the point is."
"It's exciting and fun. You don't like this kind of thing?"
Melanie didn't seem to appreciate the vibe at all.
"It's even worse because I'm only here because I have to be. I'm forcing myself... B-but since I'm here with you, Tae-yang, I guess it's..."
"Me? I'm going to go hunting in a bit."
"What? Why?"
"What do you mean why? That's what this place is for."
As soon as Melanie heard me, her eyes went wide and round.
Even with the mask on, the change was enough for me to guess exactly what face she was making.
She glared at me with eyes that looked like she was staring at a traitor, then finally opened her mouth again.
"You're going to leave me here? While everyone else is hunting? What if someone approaches me!"
"I mean... even from a distance, it's obvious you're Melanie, so would they really...?"
Who else wears drill hair on a regular basis?
Of course, they weren't excessively oversized drills, but her brilliant blonde drill hair was a feature that rarely overlapped with anyone else's.
So, even though she was wearing a mask, anyone could guess her identity.
As proof, the guys who had been hitting on other women nearby were busy backing away the moment they saw Melanie's hairstyle.
Her hair had essentially become her ID card.
There's nothing to gain from getting on Melanie's bad side, after all.
If someone were to make a slip of the tongue and she took off her mask to reveal her identity...
The chances of Melanie losing out were extremely slim.
Furthermore, Melanie was currently participating against her will and hated this atmosphere.
If someone accidentally rubbed her the wrong way, the mood could turn sour in an instant.
Everyone probably wants to avoid getting kicked out for ruining the mood at a social party.
And everyone was aware that there was a hulking blonde bodyguard right next to her.
No matter how confident they were in their skills, they knew they'd lose out the moment they caused trouble.
In other words, Melanie was currently a 'landmine' of a different sort in this social party—someone you shouldn't touch.
"Still, isn't it a bit ridiculous to leave me like this and just go off to find another woman?"
"I specifically asked for a seat that's as quiet as possible just in case that happened, didn't I?"
"...I feel used. I mean, I only came here because I had to, but still..."
Does she have more feelings for me than I thought?
This was a part I hadn't fully considered.
I had tagged along with Melanie, who had to attend at least once, so I could get close to Min-su after entering the party.
But her acting disappointed like this was a significant variable.
I hadn't even made a big move yet, but she was making her disappointment very clear over something so trivial.
It was cute, but on the other hand, it was troublesome because the situation was becoming ambiguous.
Melanie crossed her arms and looked at me piteously, silently asking if I was really going to go.
Just as I was wondering how to cheer her up while still finding Min-su...
"Kyaa! What do you think you're doing!"
In a hunting pocha, the music plays constantly, but there are brief moments—just a few seconds—where the sound cuts out completely.
If a loud noise occurs at that moment, it's bound to draw everyone's attention, and that was exactly what happened now.
A woman's piercing scream followed by an angry voice drew all eyes to the source.
What is it?
I stood up halfway to check the situation and saw that a man had apparently spilled a drink on a table.
The table was a mess, perhaps because he had overturned a full 1000cc beer mug, and the clothes of the woman who screamed were completely soaked.
"Ah... a-a-ah, I'm sorry. This is my first time..."
"Hurry up and wipe it!"
"Yes, uh... the tissues..."
The man who spilled the beer was fumbling around, having no idea what to do.
"No, it's fine. We'll clean this up, so please continue to enjoy yourselves, honored guests."
"Thank you."
A quick-witted waiter brought a cloth and began to tidy the table.
Other staff members apologized to the woman, asked if she was okay, and showed their service by guiding her outside.
Sensing the mood was turning awkward, the DJ quickly cranked up the music again, pumping energy back into the hunting pocha.
As all of this passed in a flash...
I took a close look at the man's outfit.
A tight suit fit in a hunting pocha... a white dress shirt where you can see his nipples... excessively slicked-back pomade hair... rolled-up suit trousers...
There was only one person in Noble who would walk around dressed like that.
Found him.
It was Kim Min-su.

Response to [I have a concern about my girlfriend] - Pure Love Diary Writer [Tae-yang Rank]
Min-su-kun~ This is already the 9,000th time we've exchanged Q&As lol.
At this point, it's basically... des?tiny? (Just kidding lol)
Anyway, so you're worried about your outfit for the social party?
Thanks for coming straight to me without doubting me anymore, for real lol.
Then again, there's no one who hits as hard as I do~~~~
To go back to the past for a bit, I used to go to these kinds of parties all the time.
I see it's a 'Hun-Po' style, do you know what that is? It's a Hunting Pocha lol.
Anyway, the outfit isn't actually that important here, but this time is a bit different.
What's different is that, like you said, you'll be wearing masks.
Since your face is covered by the mask, the rest of your external appearance becomes the most important thing.
So, you could wear a casual-style suit, but instead...
To give off that 'socialite' vibe, going in a super tight, formal suit could be a strategy.
Though I say that... suit fit is a very subtle thing. To be honest, when I first wore a suit...
I didn't really know if it looked good or not, but then my childhood friend suddenly burst through the door to nag me about eating breakfast...
Then she suddenly turned red, started stammering, said "I guess it's okay," and then looked down with a huff.
Yeah, the suit effect might actually be real??? lol.
Anyway, so I'm thinking, how about this kind of style~?

If it's something like this, yeah, just go up to a girl and say, "Excuse me, I've already 'Subscribed' and 'Liked' your heart, so how about your number so I can set 'Notifications' too?" If you do that, lol, it's an immediate 'yas' (sex) angle. This is what 'yas' is all about, ah lol.
Go for it right now, Min-su!

Min-su nodded as he checked the Pure Love Diary Writer's response once more.
As expected, I wasn't wrong.
Although there was a small mistake, he had seized the opportunity to drink with a woman in one go.
When the Pure Love Diary Writer's coordination is paired with my own sensible touch, this is the kind of result you get.
Normally, he would have thought about wearing an undershirt beneath the white dress shirt, but since he was confident in his body, he didn't wear one.
Also, he felt that looking too much like a stiff suit-wearer would make him unapproachable, so he had even rolled up his trousers.
Perhaps thanks to these interactions, his success rate when approaching women was very high.
In particular, even if he just sat nearby, they couldn't even look at him properly and turned their heads away, as if they were hiding their shyness.
So cute.
He hadn't found Melanie yet, but it would be polite to do a light warm-up before approaching her.
Rather than swallowing the main dish right away, enjoying the appetizers felt like a demonstration by a skilled instructor.
I wasn't going to come at first... but to think it was a place like this... I should come often from now on.
A few days ago, he had even met someone impersonating a member of Noble, so he hadn't been very trusting.
But if they're going to lay out all these beauties... well, I have no choice but to show off, right?
Min-su reached a conclusion through an objective judgment that he was currently like a fish in water.
Today, I shall write a legend here.
Today, a man called a god was destined to appear at this social party.
Min-su chuckled and scanned the room intently, looking for a woman with a beautiful figure.
He was completely unaware that a hulking blonde man was approaching from right behind him.
At the very least, I'm losing my virginity after the after-party!
That was Min-su's firm resolve.
