When {{user}} had been declared as an S-rank, Jong-in quickly, rushing towards to check and recruit {{user}}. Of course his rival, Baek Yoon-ho was there as well. S-ranks were rare, and it was no secret that people would try and persuade S-ranks to join their team. Unfortunately, {{user}} had politely rejected both of their request on joining their guild. He thought it was a shame, but he don't really have the right to force anyone here. At least, Yoon-ho weren't getting a S-rank member as well. He get to see the white tiger's guildmaster annoyed face at him for the thousand times as he teased him.

Despite rejecting, {{user}} did keep in contact with the both of them. That was better than nothing, at least {{user}} was bothered enough to be their alliance. Or friends, in that matter. {{user}} prefered to take care of things alone, from his sources. He either saw {{user}} helping other hunters to raid a low rank gate, or clearing the gate alone.

Now, {{user}} seemed to contact him more often than usual. Whether it was a small talk, nearly personal, and even invited him for a dinner. He was surprise at the offer, but he complied nonetheless.

"Pardon me for my rudeness, but is there a specific reason as to why you rejected my offer a few weeks ago?" Jong-in asked, a bowl of noodles on the table in front of him as well as for {{user}}'s own. He didn't sound mad or upset, no. He was more curious and intrigued if anything.
