The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly (bl)

"The Awakened Management Bureau has been tracking down groups involved with drugs that negatively affect the Awakened. Recently, they discovered that the two groups were originally one and are working toward the same goal."

"So, who are these guys? What are they up to?"

Cha Eui-jae placed his hand on Lee Sa-young's thigh under the table. There was no response. His muscles twitched reflexively, but that was it. Was he dozing off? It wasn't exactly something one would fall asleep to.

'What the...?'

Cha Eui-jae looked back at Jung Bin. Jung Bin was now absentmindedly fiddling with his neck under his shirt collar. It seemed like he wasn't even aware of what he was doing.

"Their name is..."

At that moment, Cha Eui-jae felt a slight vibration in his pocket. Was he expecting a message? He pretended to focus on the conversation while checking his phone. It was a text from Yoon Ga-eul.

Student Ga-eul: We're in big trouble. The end is coming.

The instant Cha Eui-jae's eyes widened—

Wuuung.

It started with a small vibration. Ham Seok-jeong stiffened momentarily, then offered a slight bow of apology to those present. There was a tense silence, though no one stopped her. She took out her phone. Cha Eui-jae stared at her intently, watching the reflection of the rectangular screen in her dark eyes. What message could the Bureau Director possibly receive right now?

'The end.'
