Chapter 76
"How about both of you making surprise appearances in the middle?"
"Whatever."
Eden answered indifferently. Eden may seem cold on the outside, but he is not like that on the inside. He must be feeling excited with Yuna Yuna in front of him.
But unfortunately, Yuna Yuna will fall for the main character, Kang Yoo-hyun. No matter how hard I think, their rival seems to be too strong. I looked at Eden and Kang Soo-hyun with a little pity.
"You guys should get your makeup done too."
"It's a hassle..."
"Do we really have to?"
"Umm..."
As soon as I arrived at the studio, I got my makeup and hair done. I felt a little awkward as my face was smudged with various products and my hair was bouncier than usual, but I put up with it because we had to shoot a video.
Eden and Kang Soo-hyun didn't receive makeup. After all, they're only making a brief appearance. Shouldn't they still get it? When I was pondering over this—
"Kkyau!"
"Whoa!"
Yong-sik suddenly jumped and clung to my chest. I was surprised and hugged Yong-sik.
"Are you done too?"
"Kkyaau!"
Yong-sik was also decorated by experts. His skin, which had been a bit rough, now looked smoother, and he wore a cute bow tie around his neck.
"Yeah, you're cute, My Yong-sik."
He must hate being surrounded by strangers, so I praised Yong-sik for his patience and patted his head.
"...I'm going to get my make-up done too."
"Me too."
"...?"
I looked at Eden and Kang Soo-hyun in surprise at their sudden change of heart.Vissit novelbin(.)com for new novels
"Oh? Well, then go for it."
I stared at their backs as they disappeared under the staff's guidance, and then I looked back at Yuna Yuna, whose eyes were sparkling beside me.
What? Do they want to look good in front of the heroine?
When I tilted my head, Yuna Yuna spoke to me.
"Um, but... What about Hunter Kang Yoo Hyun-nim?"
"Kang Yoo Hyun? He's probably coming out soon."
Kang Yoo-hyun's preparation time was particularly long, whether they pour their heart and soul into his God-given face, or endlessly change into clothes suitable for his long legs. I waited with a relaxed mind, thinking that this was also the privilege of the main character. And not long after, Kang Yoo Hyun appeared.
"Hok..."
Yuna Yuna's gasp came from right next to me. For a moment, I was mesmerized too.
Kang Yoo Hyun, who always wore black clothes, was now wearing a brown trench coat. I didn't know who styled him, but it was undoubtedly a brilliant choice.
"...Han Yi Jin."
"Uh, oh?"
Kang Yoo Hyun, who approached, looked at me. I blinked my eyes slowly, realising belatedly that I had reacted too stupidly.
"Hmm, why?"
“...”
"Hello, my Nadoong fans! It's Yuna Yuna, everyone. It's been a while, right?” As soon as filming started, Yuna Yuna smoothly delivered the opening statement. Then, she seemed to notice Kang Yoo-hyun and I sitting by her side, so she made cute movements by looking left and right and continued talking.
"Today, we have very special guests with us. They are the hunters who are a hot topic these days! Wow~”
Yuna Yuna clapped her hands and then turned to me. Her sparkling eyes were fixed on me.
"Can you introduce yourself?"
"Oh, yes... My name is Han YI Jin. This one is Yong-sik."
"Kkyau?"
Yong-sik's ears perked up at the sudden mention of his name, and he turned his head to look around. He seemed to be feeling unfamiliar in front of the camera.
“Yong-sik? His name is... quite unusual."
"Yes, he’s cute, right?"
"Yes, so cute!"
Yuna Yuna blushed and looked at Yong-sik. I knew from reading the novel that she liked reptiles. She even had a snake and a lizard, so her fondness for Yong-sik seemed genuine.
"I've never seen an S-rank dragon summon before. I thought they'd be fierce and scary, but he’s surprisingly cute and well-behaved."
"Still, his fangs are poisonous, so you have to be careful."
"Oh, really?"
Yuna Yuna, with a surprised expression, asked Yong-sik mischievously.
"Yong-sik, you won't bite me, right?"
"Kkyau!"
“Ah, so cute~."
Yuna Yuna stomped her foot as Yong-sik answered with a short shout.
We were able to start shooting in a warmer atmosphere than I expected. Since Yuna Yuna is a veteran YouTuber, we were able to continue the conversation without any awkwardness.
Kang Yoo-hyun also answered Yuna Yuna's question without being rude. His response feels a bit mechanical like reading a textbook, but it's not bad. It's hard not to burst out laughing.
Eden and Kang Soo-hyun, who joined the video shoot late, also appeared and continued the conversation. Despite the unexpected appearance of guests, Yuna Yuna made a script on the spot and shared it with them.
In YouTube videos, it is customary for hunters not to engage in deep discussions, so most of the conversation was just casual chit-chat, which made me feel comfortable enough to speak up.
"Great job!"
Yuna Yuna smiled brightly after finishing filming. She kept saying that this video will be a big hit. She looked very happy.
"Um... Hunter Han Yi-jin-nim!"
"Yes?"
I was about to get ready to return to my accommodation when Yuna Yuna approached me, with her face flushed red, speaking carefully.
"By any chance, may I have your contact number?"
"My number?"
"Yes!"
All of a sudden, my contact information?
Seeing my puzzled face, Yuna Yuna asked anxiously.
"You can’t...?"
"Well, it's not that I can't...”
Yuna Yuna would only ask people she really wanted to be close to for their contact information. Come to think of it, in the novel, she couldn't ask Kang Yoo-hyun for his contact information from the beginning. Kang Yoo-hyun's stern face must have looked like an impregnable fortress.
Could this be an opportunity for me to help both of them? I can be a great intermediary. Thinking so, I nodded enthusiastically.
