Chapter 06
It's because of you, you bitch!
It's because of you, you bitch!
She was very bad at expressing her emotions.
Getting easily excited over trivial things and often exploding in anger was natural for her. For someone like her, the feeling of liking someone was awkward and foreign, and her attempts to express it were clumsy at best.
As a result, it led to the worst outcome she could have imagined. The one man in this world who had accepted and endured her anger. The fact that he had finally gotten fed up and completely left her side.
It was an immense pain for her. To the point where she wanted to make excuses for herself, to the point where she wanted to shift the blame to someone else.

"Huff.. huff.. damn it.."
Ji-Yoon Seo arrived at the bus stop in a hurry.
But immediately after, she saw Ji-Sun Na sitting dazedly on the ground, and she realized she was already too late.
Ji-Yoon, not being clueless, knew that their vice-commander, Jin-Hyeon, had completely left this place.
'That guy really left? Did Jin-Hyeon really leave our 28th Guild?'
To be precise, it was the guild master, Se-na, who decided on her own, and Yoo-jin supported it. But Ji-Yoon understood. Even though Se-na and Yoo-jin pulled the trigger, it was Jin-Hyeon who accepted the discharge in the end.
No matter the guild master's order, if Jin-Hyeon had refused to leave and complained to the higher-ups about the unfair situation, things could have changed.
Moreover, other hunters who knew how the guild operated would have likely supported Jin-Hyeon's claim of injustice. And Ji-Yoon would have been one of them.
However, Jin-Hyeon didn't exercise any of his rights. In fact, he packed up and left the very next day. This was an outcome Ji-Yoon hadn't anticipated at all.
'No matter what, he actually accepted the discharge? He gave up a 5 million won salary and the chance to hang out with beautiful women to become unemployed?'
To her, it was an incomprehensible ending.
Admittedly, she had bullied him a bit, but in return, she had given the plain-looking commoner the privilege of touching her body under the guise of massages.
She had also protected him from the enraged Ji-Sun whenever she tried to kill him.
While she didn't have romantic feelings for him, Ji-Yoon recognized his competence and knew he was a necessary member of the guild, which is why she had been kind to him.
However, he left without a word of thanks or any sign of regret.
'That ungrateful guy.. So he betrayed me like this? Fine.. Let's see how well he does without us.'
Grinding her teeth in anger, Ji-Yoon suddenly noticed Ji-Sun, sitting on the ground with swollen eyes from crying. Despite her appearance, Ji-Yoon felt no sympathy.
In fact, to her, Ji-Sun was one of the culprits behind this situation.
"What are you crying about? Get up!"
"..."
Ji-Yoon yelled, full of irritation. At that moment, Ji-Sun's face, which had looked lifeless, changed suddenly. She glared at Ji-Yoon with rage. And then, with a voice full of boiling anger, she said,
"It's because of you..."
"What?"
"It's because of you, you bitch! Because you bullied him, oppa left! If it weren't for you.. Jin-Hyeon oppa wouldn't have left so coldly!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I should be saying that! If you hadn't constantly tried to kill him, do you think he would have left? At least for my sake, he wouldn't have left like this!"
"Shut up! How much I liked Jin-Hyeon oppa! How hard I tried to impress him!"
"I've never heard of trying to kill someone to impress them, you bitch!"
"Shut up! It's because of you that oppa left! Go and bring him back! Kneel before him, or offer your body! Do whatever it takes to bring him back!"
"Why don't you go do that yourself? You're the only bitch in this world who gets turned on by a guy like that!"
"Don't insult oppa, you bitch!!!!"
With that, they exploded in rage, lunging at each other. Using their extraordinary hunter powers, they fought to the death.
Eventually, the scene of their bloody rampage was barely calmed down by Yoo-jin and Se-na, who arrived just in time.
"What the hell are you doing outside the base? Can't you calm down? You almost involved civilians! Do you want to end up in jail?"
"Let me go, you bastard! Today, I'm going to kill that bitch.."
Yoo-jin's words made Ji-Sun scream in anger, but overcoming Yoo-jin's strength was impossible.
Meanwhile, Se-na restrained Ji-Yoon on the other side.
Looking at the two who had caused another commotion, Se-na spoke with irritation.
"I told you to calm down for a while! Do you have any sense? Until the new vice-commander arrives, we have to clean up this mess!"
"...Yeah.. Actually, it's all your fault."
At that moment, Ji-Yoon's cold voice reached Se-na's ears. Unlike the thrashing Ji-Sun, her voice was calm yet filled with clear anger.
"What.. what are you talking about?"
"You caused this mess. You ruined everything with your poor judgment and inability to see the bigger picture. If you hadn't discharged the vice-commander like that, none of this would have happened..."
"...Hah.. Are you talking about the vice-commander? Listen, that guy was nothing but a useless parasite. You know that, right? Nothing he did helped us... What the..?"
The next moment, Ji-Yoon, using unexpected strength, pushed Se-na away. Partly because Se-na had let her guard down a bit, but more due to Ji-Yoon's intense anger.
Standing up after freeing herself, Ji-Yoon didn't seem like she would cause more trouble, but the atmosphere around her was still tense.
However, instead of using force, Ji-Yoon spoke coldly to Se-na.
"...Is that what you think? I see.. That's why you let the vice-commander go so easily. Without thinking.. having no idea what would happen next.."
"...What do you mean?"
Se-Na felt a foreboding sense as Ji-Yoon started walking back to the guild without answering.
'Soon you'll realize.. how much he was holding up for you all.'
