A Side Character's Mission ↠ Solo Leveling

Chapter 10: Worry

During the three days Seung-Eun was hospitalized, Jin-Woo, Jin-Ah and Song-I visited him. Jin-Ah heard the news from her brother and brought copied notes he missed at school.

There was also the Student Council President that unexpectedly entered one day, together with his butler. When Seung-Eun rejected the offer of getting transferred into a VIP room, his meals suddenly became lavish and healthier than the one served by the hospital. When Jin-Woo knew this, he could only sulk silently.

The perk of being rich...

For the hospital bills, it was paid by Hunter Guild as insurance.

"What is there to do?" Seung-Eun muttered under his breath as he tapped the floating window with his left hand.

He had just finished creating an S-rank Dungeon for the protagonist to clear. By that time, he would have the rank of a National Level Hunter.

But Seung-Eun doubted that his mission was done. In the manhwa he read before he died, Jin-Woo was fighting an S-rank boss in a Dungeon at Jeju Island, a place where a Dungeon breaks occurred. Many giant ants roamed around freely and it had long became their nest for breeding. After Korea made three failure attempts of defeating the queen, it now became an abandoned island.

Unfortunately, Seung-Eun didn't read the ending. But since Jin-Woo was the one that cleared the Dungeon and got recognized by others, he would earn a public title of a National Level Hunter.

'That should be the ending of the manhwa right? And then my mission would be done. I wonder what will happen next.'

Since the project took four months to finish, Seung-Eun thought that he should reward himself for his hard work. With this free time, he continued reading the manga he left last night. It was about a man that got summoned into another world, where he needed to defend the kingdom as a hero.

In the middle of reading, a ringtone suddenly could be heard inside the quiet room. It was the smartphone that Seung-Eun had just charged. In the previous Dungeon, he lost his sword and cape when he took them off to mine the crystals.

‘Many people are worried about me~ I'm so touched.’

There were hundreds of messages that flooding in the messaging apps. The most recent one was from Hae-Seong with 297 unread texts and 62 calls. He mostly asked the reason he didn’t come to school and his whereabouts for the past three days. Seung-Eun could sense the worry behind the texts.

'Ah, did I get him worried?'

After replying that he was fine, the other person called him almost instantly.

"Where are you? And why didn't you reply for the past three days? Did you forget that our suspension already ended yesterday?" Hae-Seong's voice showed that he was visibly irritated.

"About that... I can't come to school for another week."

"Why?"

"Tee-hee."

"Don't give me that ugly laugh."

Seung-Eun pouted. "I got hospitalized."

"Hospitalized!?" The other caller raised his voice and Seung-Eun had to put away the phone from his ear. "What happened? Did you get into an accident?”
