These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

ED: Cheerycheri

“We still don’t know exactly what Do-gyul’s ability is, right?”

Looking at the video, I can guess how hard it must have been for Do-gyul because of his ability. Do-Gyul and the people around him had mistakenly thought that the reason for his illness was an unknown rare disease. But maybe Do-gyul knew about the real reason subconsciously. The fact that people around him were always affected by his ability might also be something a result of his awareness.

“No, not yet. Once his rank is confirmed at the center, he must undergo a full examination.”

“But does Do-gyul know that he’s an awakener?”

“I don’t know. I couldn’t ask because he didn’t even respond to other people at all.”

“Hmm… I see.”

The sight of Do-gyul, who kept his mouth shut no matter who spoke to him in the video, came to mind. It was as if a cat with its fur puffed out was on the lookout. It also meant that no one could be trusted by Do-gyul.

“That’s okay. We can just change him slowly.”

“…?”

“You can continue to stay with your younger brother from now on. It’s not too late.”

“Ah…”

"

"

“I’m sure Do-gyul-gun will get better.”

I nodded slowly at Park Yoon-sung’s words. For no reason, my eyes prickled with tears. I coughed to hide it, and Park Yoon-sung handed the file he brought out earlier to me again.

“First of all, would you choose the medical staff first? Because they are all prominent people, their schedules are quite full, so we have to recruit them quickly.”

“Ah, yes…”

I read the profiles carefully again. But I couldn’t decide alone who would be good for Do-gyul. In the end, I looked at Park Yoon-sung again.

“Is it hard to decide?”

“Haha, yes… I’m not too sure.”

“Then I can recommend some people for you.”

Park Yoon-sung picked up the documents, took a few out, and handed them back to me as if he had been waiting for me to ask for help. I had two profiles in my hand.

“Professor Choi Jung-hoon was a top psychiatrist in Korea even before the gate crisis. He was famous both domestically and abroad. He will be of sufficient help to Do-gyul-gun.”

“Aha, yes.”

“Doctor Oh Seo-hyun, on the other hand, was a little less well-known, but she does a lot of consultations, mainly with hunters with mental abilities. Not long ago, she became famous for taking care of an A-class mental ability awakener in Korea and helping them engage in hunter activities without state supervision.”

“I see.”

Listening to Park Yoon-sung’s explanation, I wrote Doctor Oh Seo-hyun’s name with my finger. That’s a familiar name… Is she a character from the novel?

As I tilted my head, my mouth opened wide in shock.

Oh Seo-hyun, Doctor Oh Seo-hyun! This person was also one of the heroines who flirted with Kang Yoo-hyun.

I can’t remember much about her too well because she was less important than the other heroines and appeared late. I re-read Doctor Oh Seo-hyun’s profile again.

Doctor Oh Seo-hyun appears after Kang Yoo-hyun defeats the Draugr King in the novel. Actually, Kang Yoo-hyun was suffering from all kinds of trauma from being trapped inside the gate. No one knew because he looked fine on the surface.

Then, he defeated the Draugr King, which was the object of his revenge, and the negative emotions that he had been suppressing began to pour out in a massive tidal wave. Naturally, the mentally unstable condition of Kang Yoo-hyun, an SS-class hunter, had a great impact on his surroundings.

The person in charge of counseling Kang Yoo-hyun was Doctor Oh Seo-hyun. She brought out Kang Yoo-hyun’s tender heart, which he had hidden, and made him acknowledge his condition and nursed him back to stable psychological condition. She is a specialist with extraordinary sensitivity in analyzing and accurately capturing the counselee’s tendencies and feelings.

Since her ability has been proven in the novel, she would probably help Do-gyul a lot. She’ll meet Kang Yoo-hyun later anyway, so it doesn’t matter if they meet sooner.

I opened my mouth, feeling relieved.

“I’ll choose this person. Doctor Oh Seo-hyun.”

“Then I’ll schedule it right away.”

“Thank you.”

“You must be tired, so rest now. Hunter Han Yi-jin.”

“Yes.”

I bowed my head and approached the door. Yong-sik, who was sitting at my feet, stood up and followed me. I unconsciously grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

“Whoa!”

“Whoaaa!”

I screamed as well, startled by the screams I heard. I stepped back involuntarily, bringing my hands together in an X shape in front of my chest, and I saw familiar faces in front of the door.

“What are you guys… doing?”

When I spoke in surprise, the two large figures blocking the door opened their mouths awkwardly.

“Oh, Yi-jin-ah, are you done talking?”

“Hyung, I’ve been waiting for you. Haha.”

“…”

I felt deja vu, it’s as if I had seen this scene somewhere before. I thought of the scene where Eden and Kang Soo-hyun clung to each other like teenage high school girls while preparing to go to lunch. That scene started overlapping with the current scene. I shouted with a frown.

“If the meeting is over, then go away! Don’t bother me.”

Then Kang Soo-hyun asked with tearful eyes.

“Are you saying I’m bothersome, hyung?”

“No, you’re not bothersome but rather annoying to me…”

“Huhu, that’s too much.”

“…”

All of a sudden, I felt like a bad adult who made a child cry. I was thinking about what to do with this sulking child, but Eden, who was behind me, tapped Kang Soo-hyun and approached me.

“Yi-jin-ah! Let’s go to the game room.”

“Game room?”

“Yeah, the one in the basement.”

That invitation was a bit tempting. When I looked around the accommodation, I only lightly skimmed over it, but it seemed to be a combination of an arcade room and a PC room.

Should I go? Just when I was about to open my mouth to speak to Eden,

“Hyung, would you like to go to my room? I have Jim Forest in my room.”

“What? Jim Forest?”

Let’s gather together, Forest of the Beast. AKA Jim Forest! It was a console game that continued to be popular even after the Gate incident. It is mentioned occasionally in the novel, so I was wondering what it would be like to play it.

“Yi Jin-ah, let’s go to the game room.”

“Hyung, let’s go to my room. Please?”

“Huh…”

I looked at Eden and Kang Soo-hyun, who were both loudly protesting against the other and making their own requests, with a puzzled look. Have these bastards become obsessed with games? Why are they making such a huge fuss?

Moreover, it is a difficult choice to make. Hmm, Park Yoon-sung approached me as I groaned in distress.

“You guys have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so you’d better rest early today.”

“Ah, shall we do that?”

“Kkyaau!”

Yong-sik also cried out loudly as if in agreement and rubbed his face against my leg. I smiled at his cute appearance and hugged Yong-sik.

“Can I go see Do-gyul with Yong-sik tomorrow?”

“Sure. The summon is still young, so it would be better to go together than leave him alone.”

“Alright.”

Do-gyul shouldn’t be scared of Yong-sik.

“Kkyau.”

“Huhu.”

Well, Do-gyul wouldn’t be surprised since Yong-sik is so cute. Rather, animals may feel more comfortable to be around than humans to him.

I looked at Yong-sik, smiled, and raised my head. Eden and Kang Soo-hyun were staring somewhere into space, their expressions made it seem like they had just been sacked in the face with a pile of shit. Then, when our eyes met, they smiled awkwardly as if they had never made such an expression.

“What is it?”

“Haha, yeah. Take the day off today.”

“Then next time in my room… Ouch.”

“Oops, there’s trash here.”

“What?”

“Sigh…”

Seeing the two of them doing nonsensical things again, I shook my head and walked away. Even elementary school students wouldn’t fight like that these days.

As I walked while clicking my tongue inwardly, the elementary school students chased after me. Only after I quickly entered my room was I able to escape from those disgusting bastards.

“Phew…”

As I stood in front of the door to the hospital room, I nervously adjusted my clothes. Do-gyul, whom I met yesterday, was completely unaware that I wasn’t his real brother.

Well, how many years have they been apart? Do-gyul probably doesn’t remember enough about his brother to notice that I, who swapped spots with Han Yi-jin, am fake.

Nevertheless, I hesitated to go in because a corner of my heart still felt uncomfortable. Then Yong-sik, who was drooping on my shoulder, tilted his head.

“Kkyau?”

“Hmm, it’s nothing.”

I shook my head and opened the door. Today, I did not come with Park Yoon-sung, I only came with the guild members who were assigned to escort me. All of the members decided to wait outside because their mere presence could provoke Do-gyul for no reason. It was only Yong-sik and I that entered the hospital room.

"

"

Creak.

The door opened smoothly, and I stepped into a luxuriously carpeted room. Yong-sik looked around the new place with unfamiliarity.

I approached Do-gyul, who was focusing on his tablet PC screen on the bed.

“Do-gyul-ah.”

“…Hyung!”

Do-gyul, who raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and soon smiled at me.

For a moment, I remembered the video I watched yesterday. His expression of indifference that remained completely unchanged no matter what other people said to him came to mind. He had a completely different face now that I was in front of him.

“How have you been?”

“I’m good. And look look, I raised my level by a lot.”

Do-gyul proudly told me about his accomplishment while showing me the tablet PC screen. He had been working hard on the game he downloaded yesterday and had raised his level to a very high number. I patted Do Gyul’s head as if to compliment him.

“Hehe.”

Do-gyul, who was smiling with his eyes closed, opened his eyes again and looked at my shoulder. Yong-sik was also staring at Do-gyul as if he was looking at a creature he had never seen before. 

For some reason, I thought my dog ​​would feel this way the first time he faced my family. I nervously introduce Yong-sik to Do-gyul.

“This is my summon. He’s just been born, so he feels anxious if he is separated from me. That’s why I brought him here.”

“…”

Do-gyul stared at Yong-sik without saying anything, like he did when he first saw me yesterday. Then he opened his small lips and muttered something.

“Ear…”

“Ear?”

Do-gyul, who repeated the word “ear” quietly, shouted with his face blushing.

“So cute!”

T/N: Seems like going into the dungeon would be in the next few chapters 😀
