Holy B-Class Life

#075

“Phew……”

Dan Joo-hyuk exhaled refreshingly as he came out of the shower. The subtle feelings he had been experiencing over the past few days were gone.

Realizing this, his gaze naturally turned to Yoon Pa-ran lying on the bed.

As expected, once wasn’t enough. So he had gently coaxed Yoon Pa-ran into a second round, but before long, Yoon Pa-ran couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted.

It was after barely filling 60% of the skill.

He had stayed conscious a little longer than last time. It was the same with kissing, so would he be able to last longer in the future?

Though he didn’t know if Yoon Pa-ran would agree, Dan Joo-hyuk freely imagined the future. He naturally approached the bed and sat down heavily next to Yoon Pa-ran.

Perhaps because he was more exhausted than last time, this time Yoon Pa-ran was sprawled out, unable to even kick off the blanket. Seeing his face looking quite uncomfortable, Dan Joo-hyuk slightly lifted the blanket.

Is he uncomfortable because I wrapped him up while he’s all sweaty like this?

Is that why he left so quickly last time?

“Hmm……”

After pondering, he went to the bathroom and returned with a warm, damp towel. He had never paid such attention to aftercare for a partner before, but it was quite an enjoyable task.

The problem was that he found himself in a difficult situation despite starting with good intentions.

“……”

The limp Yoon Pa-ran moved docilely wherever he was touched. Even when wiping the most sticky part between his legs.

Seeing the loosened, moist opening made him feel aroused again. Even as he deliberately wiped down there with slow, lingering touches, Yoon Pa-ran’s eyelids didn’t even twitch.

“Ha……”

What am I doing?

Dan Joo-hyuk quickly came to his senses and hurriedly finished wiping the rest.

Even while thinking he was doing something ridiculous, his hand gripping Yoon Pa-ran’s ankle was overflowing with lingering desire. He gently touched the ankle bone, still covered by socks, with his fingertips for a long time.

I should probably take out what’s inside too.

As he slightly lifted the hand holding the ankle, he could see the reddened, swollen area. However, Dan Joo-hyuk decided to leave the inside as it was.

The moment he dug into the swollen flesh, he felt he really wouldn’t be able to control himself with someone who was actually sleeping.

Just a little bit, he wanted to leave it inside for a long time.

“At this rate, I might develop a bad habit……”

Dan Joo-hyuk rubbed his chin awkwardly and tossed the used towel off the bed. Perhaps because his uncomfortable body had improved a bit, Yoon Pa-ran’s expression seemed better than before.

Even then, Yoon Pa-ran remained motionless. He knew it was a side effect of the skill, but it was strangely vexing that he was sound asleep and hadn’t woken up once.

“Mr. Yoon Pa-ran.”

He called out while gently tapping his cheek. Seeing the slight twitch at the end of his eyebrow, he felt the urge again.

He lifted Yoon Pa-ran into his arms, blanket and all. After embracing him as if cradling a child, he gently rocked his body.

“Wake up, okay?”

“Ugh……”

A long groan spread out. Dan Joo-hyuk observed without breathing as Yoon Pa-ran frowned deeply and slowly opened his eyes.

When his clear pupils were faintly revealed, Dan Joo-hyuk spoke without realizing it.

“I’ll be going now.”

Yoon Pa-ran’s gaze, full of drowsiness, changed its color in an instant.

Dan Joo-hyuk chuckled at the annoyed look in his eyes, as if thinking he was pathetic.

Being with Yoon Pa-ran is indeed enjoyable.

If this is the last time, it might be a bit regrettable.

“This time, sleep well before you leave.”

As Dan Joo-hyuk persistently urged, ignoring the sharp glare he received, Yoon Pa-ran muttered something under his breath. It was too muffled to hear clearly, but it was obvious it was a curse.

Laughing again, Dan Joo-hyuk slowly put him down.

Yoon Pa-ran quickly curled up his body. Just as Dan Joo-hyuk was about to reach out to tuck in the completely disheveled blanket,

A small voice spoke from beneath the covers.

“……Take care.”

And then, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, steady breathing sounds soon followed.

“……”

Dan Joo-hyuk, who had been reaching out, stopped abruptly.

For a long time, Dan Joo-hyuk remained frozen, looking down at Yoon Pa-ran.

“Ha……”

Only after exhaling a long breath did Dan Joo-hyuk bend down to lightly kiss the white forehead.

With a deeply hardened expression, his usual smile nowhere to be seen.

❖ ❖ ❖

Heading to Russia was quick.

Everything was prepared rapidly as if all that was needed was Dan Joo-hyuk’s action. Dan Joo-hyuk went to Russia with the Russian hunter Sergei on a private jet that had been ready to depart at any time.

“Welcome to Russia.”

“……”

As soon as they landed on the runway, the lined-up hunters all saluted at once. The temperature was similar to Korea’s, but a chilly wind was blowing. Because of this, their red cloaks all fluttered fiercely.

Dan Joo-hyuk naturally ignored them, seeing such a pitiful sight as soon as he arrived. He moved towards the inside of the airport, intending to go straight to the gate. Minister Byeon and the other attendants who had come with Dan Joo-hyuk moved along in a group.

The hunters who had come out as representatives from the Russian side hurriedly added,

“The Tsar is waiting.”

“He said he would hold a formal welcoming banquet.”

Even Dan Joo-hyuk stopped in his tracks at this nonsense.

“Oh, the Tsar!”

Hunter Sergei, who seemed to have heard this belatedly, spoke in an excited voice. It was still incomprehensible nonsense.

The Tsar had been urging them to come quickly because the gate was urgent, to the point of violating diplomatic protocols. But now, in this situation, did they have even a few hours to waste on a banquet?

“We haven’t been informed of any official schedule, what are you talking about?”

Minister Byeon, after hearing the interpreter’s words, hurriedly stepped forward to try to smooth over the situation. The Korean diplomats who had come out to the runway to greet them also exchanged glances all at once.

It was nonsense not worth reconsidering in many ways.

“We’re going straight to the gate. Tell the hunters you’ve prepared to all gather in front of the gate before I arrive.”

As soon as the interpreter finished speaking, the faces of the Russian hunters all hardened. Regardless, Dan Joo-hyuk moved towards the bulletproof vehicle prepared by Korea.

Hunter Sergei cut in diagonally in front of him and shouted urgently.

“Didn’t I say the Tsar is waiting!”

The Korean hunters who were to enter the gate with Dan Joo-hyuk as escorts all tensed up. In an instant, an atmosphere more ominous than Russia’s cold wind swept across the runway.

Dan Joo-hyuk, standing calmly in the middle of this, looked at the interpreter. As if telling him to convey his words clearly.

“We don’t have time to waste unnecessarily. As you’ve been saying all week.”

“Ugh……”

Sergei, after receiving Dan Joo-hyuk’s words, gritted his teeth, at a loss for words. Honestly, he must have been perplexed too. He would have only heard messages to bring Dan Joo-hyuk as quickly as possible.

Anyway, his expression clearly showed anger at the blatant disregard for the Tsar. Dan Joo-hyuk headed towards the vehicle without even giving him a proper glance.

From behind, the sound of Sergei muttering something in a low voice was vivid.

“What is that hunter saying now?”

Minister Byeon, who had been sticking close to Dan Joo-hyuk despite his short legs, whispered to the interpreter.

The interpreter, while carefully watching Dan Joo-hyuk’s reaction, whispered back to the minister.

“Roughly, something like ‘arrogant bastard’… that kind of insult.”

It was comical that even those whispers were all audible. To begin with, it was also a problem that they didn’t know Dan Joo-hyuk could understand Russian.

Dan Joo-hyuk, letting out a quiet sneer, got into the vehicle.

“……”

From the uneasy feeling he had before coming, to the Tsar’s sudden action. There was something unclear melted into this Russian gate business.

Although he felt like he was being played by someone’s scheme, Dan Joo-hyuk leaned back leisurely in the vehicle. Since he also needed to conquer the gate anyway, he intended to use whatever he could use until the end.

❖ ❖ ❖

The SS-grade gate was extraordinary from the entrance.

Gates usually have the same appearance regardless of their grade. All of them float in the air like a perfectly circular image frozen in space.

However, the gate that appeared in front of the Kremlin Palace was different even in that aspect.

The gate entrance, constantly shifting between a circle and an oval, looked unstable. It wavered as if it were a poorly connected radio signal.

Its size was twice that of other gates. Because of this, the gate wavelength measuring device kept fluctuating between the S-grade and above S-grade marks.

However, once inside the gate, something felt strange.

It was already the 4th day since entering the gate.

The interior of the SS-grade gate was an indoor terrain. Judging by the clear sound when knocking on the walls, it seemed to be made of a material with a high metal content. The monsters that appeared also had a metallic outer shell, resembling sea snails.

The attack team had safely arrived at the last safe zone.

“Hmm…… No matter how I look at it, the regular monsters seem to be around S-grade.”

The ceiling of the safe zone was covered with patterns that even Dan Joo-hyuk had never seen before.

Centered around him, who had found a suitable spot, A-grade hunters gathered closely, seriously exchanging opinions.

“Yes. They’re stronger than just S-grade, but not enough to be considered beyond grade.”

“Well, I was worried that all the monsters might be SS-grade, but it doesn’t seem to be that bad.”

For the past few days, they had been on high alert, prepared for any anomalies, but unexpectedly, the conquest had been proceeding smoothly.

Of course, it was at a level that was too burdensome to be called just an S-grade gate. Even considering that, the conquest speed was slow for the number of hunters that had entered, which was 1.5 times more than usual.

It was because the Russian personnel were strangely dawdling. They were consuming time as if playing tug-of-war with the time limit on the status window.

When an impatient Korean hunter stepped forward to urge them on, they were met with the excuse that they needed to examine thoroughly as it was where the Tsar resided.

“……”

Because of this, Dan Joo-hyuk now had little time left.
