Chapter Text
Kim Kiryeo crossed his arms, staring down the man sitting before him.
"Come on Jung Haseong, you need to learn to take better care of yourself! How will you help anyone if you're falling asleep mid battle?" Kiryeo chastised the S-Rank hunter in front of him, sweating internally.
Jung Haseong just bowed his head silently, taking in a deep breath.
"Look at yourself, tired, overworked and overwhelmed. Is this really how an S-Rank should be? Pathetic." Kim Kiryeo shook his head looking disappointed.
Jung Haseong flinched at the harsh. "I-" "No, listen." Kiryeo interrupted the higher ranker's attempt to defend himself. "I'm doing this for your own good, alright? This type of lifestyle isn't healthy for you. You'll find yourself burned out sooner rather than later, understood?" Kim Kiryeo questioned him.
"Understood." Said Jung Haseong, hanging his head low.
Oh wow this really does work! How scary to have him so close he could easily turn me to ash in a second. Kiryeo internally marveled, shivering in terror at the thought of what could happen to him if his bluff was exposed. Shaking away those thoughts he clenched his fist to calm himself down.
Of course from Haseong's perspective it looked like Kim Kiryeo was shaking with rage.
"Well-" dinnng! Just as Kiryeo was about to continue the torturous lecture his phone rang, saving him from the terrifying presence of an upset S-Rank.
"Ah, well it's seems I have to go." Kim Kiryeo announced before swiftly making an exit.
