Chapter 40

[Hound (2)]

The morning of the spring picnic.

It was a busy morning at Eunhas house. His mother woke up before dawn to prepare Eunha and Eunas lunchboxes. Eunha didnt want to leave everything to his mother, so he packed his lunch with Euna.

Are you sure you can do well without me?

Are you sure you can do well without me going to the retreat?

Im 12 years old!

Euna pouted her lips. Shed even decorated Eunhas packed lunch because she wanted to pretend to be her big sister for the day.

Be careful out there.

Yeah, you too, Eunha.

Todays Eunha energy boost complete!

Euna inhaled the scent of fabric softener on Eunhas clothes. She kissed Eunhas cheek before leaving.

Anyway.

You seem happy too, Eunha.

I didnt say I didnt like it.

Their mother, who was watching the love between the two siblings in the kitchen, smiled.

Humbled, Eunha put the lunchbox Euna had packed into his bag with a calm demeanour.

Ouch. Ohhh.

Eunae, you need more sleep.

Eunae must have come out to say hello to Eunha.

I wonder if its because shes been fussing since morning.

It was still time to sleep, but Eunae was crawling over, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Eunha scooped her up and hugged her tightly.

Ouch.

Eunae, shouldnt you kiss your brother?

Awww.

Eunae brushed her lips against Eun-has cheek.

Eunha couldnt hide his smile because his little sister was adorable.

Today would be a good day.

I received kisses from Eunha and Eunae since morning. Even though it was a normal morning, it seemed to sparkle unusually today.Visit for the best novel reading experience

Eunae, daddy too.

Abu.

Eunae is sleeping now.

I dont know why my girls only like Eunha.

Haha.

Yes! Eunha will give daddy a kiss, right?

I cant help it.

Eunha did what his father wanted him to do. Now Ive gotten a kiss from Eunha and Eunae too! said Dad happily.

Okay, bye.

Be careful.

Ugh.

It was time to leave for Mount Bukhansan.

After packing, Eunha held his fathers hand as they left the house.

Youre late!

You came out just in time.

Eek, this was going to be bad.

Minji was waiting at the door.

Eunha suddenly remembered that they were supposed to go to the picnic in his fathers car.

Luckily, he was able to dismiss his suspicions with a poker face.

He drove off into the early morning, avoiding the commute, and it didnt take long for them to arrive at the entrance to Mount Bukhansan.

Eunha, do you have money?

Yes, my mom gave me 10,000 won.

Oh really? Is it a secret from your mom then?

His father called out to Eunha as he got out of the car. He took his wallet out of his pocket and gave Eunha a 10,000 won bill.

Go out with your friends and get something nice to eat! Dad knows from experience that its the worst when you dont have any money but want to eat.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

And remember, dont eat by yourself.

Dad, thats a story that made my ears perk up.

Eunha interrupted him.

Dont eat alone, share with others. Fighting over food is the stupidest thing to do, right?

Haha, you got it. Maybe I talked too much.

Eunha didnt know that his father was going to say the exact same thing. It seems like Im getting old, he thought to himself as he chuckled. He waved goodbye to Eunha and turned the car around in the parking lot.

The meeting point was Bukhansanseong Support Center. When Eunha and Minji arrived, their teachers were already holding up signs for their classes, 1-4. It didnt take long for them to find their sign.

Kids, Im going to call your attendance numbers, and you need to raise your hands one by one!

The appointed time passed. Miss Ji-na, who was holding the picket, called out the kids starting with number one. The close-knit group of children raised their hands each time their name was called and shouted back.

Everyone is here.

Miss Yoo Ji-na then led the class 4 children through the tour center. The mornings agenda was to walk the perimeter path and visit the Daesemun Gate and Borisa Temple. (1)

Kids, its time for lunch!

After touring Borisa Temple, Miss Ji-na saw the children from the other classes making mats and called them over.

The children, who had been acting in groups, gathered together and were told to eat lunch near the borax shelter.

Alright! Its time to eat our lunch, lunch!

Your mother must have found it bothersome to pack a lunchbox.

Eunhyuk, this bastard, since when did Eunhyuk receive treatment as if he were my child?

Eunha vowed to cut back on the hell training for now.

Regardless, Eunhyeok was enjoying his cup noodles.

Captain, the soup is so delicious! Do you want to try some?

I think it would be delicious with kimbap.

I actually brought some ramen with me.

You should have told me! Heres some water!

Thanks.

It was none of his business what Senas faction ate for lunch.

Eunhyuks cup noodles caught their attention, and the spicy, appetizing smell made even Eunha swallow his saliva.

Seo-na was the second to take out the cup noodles. After receiving water from Eunhyuk, she was waiting for the ramen to cook.

Oh, theres a pull. Theyre selling it at the canteen.

I thought it was sold at the canteen, Captain!

Ill go to the canteen then. Does anyone here want some instant noodles? My dad said to buy something for you guys today.

Me, too! I want a cup noodle!

Me too.

Minji and Hayang quickly raised their hands. Eunha, who had deep pockets from his parents allowance, counted the number of cup noodles he needed to buy.

They werent the only ones who wanted to eat cup noodles.

Me too! I want to go to the canteen!

Who wants to go for cup noodles?

Me! Im going for the spaghetti!

You fool, Jajangmyeon is the best! (3)

Shin Ramyun is also delicious! (4)

Starting with the boys in class 4, the first graders, and even children from other elementary schools rushed to the canteen.

The canteen was booming with cup noodles, and Eunha, who was the first to run to the canteen, was able to secure a cup of noodles.

Cup noodles were the best.

Of course, its cup ramen!

I should bring cup ramen next time too!

No one paid attention to the lunch boxes made by the exclusive chef anymore. Even the children following Sena were tempted by the sound of slurping noodles.

Eek!

Sena hit the folding table tightly with her fork.

What the hell!

The hiker who climbed Mount Bukhan Baegundae looked down and panicked.

Black figures were running down below.

Why are monsters here!

Seoul is protected by a cocoon. While there are still monsters inside the cocoon, they are far less frequent than before.

Furthermore, the mana detection system deployed over Seoul hasnt been able to keep up with the ubiquitous mana and monster outbreaks.

But what about those things running from the bottom of the mountain?

The hiker, who hadnt received any communication, turned away with a trembling gaze.

He had to escape to survive.

In a rush, the hiker trudged back down the path hed come.

Ugh!

His foot slipped and he rolled down the mountain,

Thud! Hic!

He came face to face with a horde of monsters coming up the other side.

Sa, save me.

Red eyes with no pupils. Lips twitching, they hovered low, showing their hostility.

Nopleaseuck!

There was no mercy for the monsters, and even if there was, they had been starving for days.

They lunged at the hiker before he could scream. Their razor-sharp teeth tore into the hikers body.

The hikers body was no longer intact, as several of them had pounced.

CRRRRKK

The horde of monsters gnawed on the dripping flesh.

Still, their hunger was unsatisfied.

Having tasted blood, they now seek to devour their own kind.

Move forward. Ahead. Go down. To the south.

If there is no one to lead the pack.

Go forward. Forward.

Descend. South.

The leader commanded.

Crawl.

Grrr.

The herd replied.

The herd ran down the mountain in unison.
