Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a huntsman in Chungju is no joke. I woke up thinkin’ it’d be chill, just me and the woods. But nah, life had other plans.
So, I hit the streets of Chungju, right? First stop, the market on Seonggeo-dong. It’s always buzzing, like a beehive on caffeine. I’m just tryin’ to grab some supplies, ya know? But then, boom! I bump into this old dude, Mr. Kim. He’s like, “Hey, you got time for a story?” I’m thinkin’, “Dude, I got a deer to hunt!” But I can’t be rude, so I nod.
He starts ramblin’ about the good ol’ days. Like, seriously, how many times can you hear about the “legend of the Chungju Lake”? I mean, I get it, it’s pretty, but c’mon! I’m tryin’ to focus here. But then he drops this gem: “You know, the lake’s got a monster.” I’m like, “A monster? For real?” Now I’m intrigued.
After that, I finally get my stuff and head to the woods. The air’s fresh, the trees are tall, and I’m feelin’ like a king. But then, outta nowhere, I hear this loud crash. My heart’s racin’. I’m thinkin’, “Is it the monster?” Nah, it’s just some kids messin’ around. They’re throwin’ rocks at a tree. I’m like, “Yo, chill! You’ll scare the deer away!” But they just laugh. Kids, man.
So I keep movin’, tryin’ to find a good spot. I’m on the edge of the Chungju Forest, and it’s beautiful. The sun’s settin’, and the colors are insane. But then, I trip over a root. Like, seriously? I’m a huntsman, not a clumsy fool! I hit the ground hard, and my knee’s killin’ me. I’m cursing like a sailor.
Finally, I find a decent spot. I set up my gear, and I’m waitin’. It’s quiet, too quiet. I’m thinkin’ about that monster again. What if it shows up? I’d be the first huntsman to get eaten by a lake monster. Great. Just great.
Then, outta nowhere, I see it! A deer! My heart’s pumpin’. I take a deep breath, steady my aim. But just as I’m about to pull the trigger, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy, Joon. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta see this!” I’m like, “Not now, man!” But he keeps texting. I’m losing my focus.
Finally, I can’t take it anymore. I check my phone. He sent me a video of a cat doing backflips. A freakin’ cat! I’m laughing so hard, I almost scare the deer away. But I manage to hold it together.
After what feels like forever, I finally get my shot. Nailed it! The deer goes down, and I’m feelin’ like a champ. But then, I hear a rustle behind me. I turn, and it’s a whole family of wild boars! They’re lookin’ at me like I’m the intruder. I’m like, “Whoa, chill! I’m not here for you!”
I pack up my stuff, heart still racing. I head back to Chungju, and I’m feelin’ good. I stop by a little joint on Jeonggwan-dong for some tteokbokki. Man, that stuff hits the spot! Spicy, sweet, and just what I need after a crazy day.
As I’m munchin’, I can’t help but think about the monster, the deer, and that ridiculous cat video. Life in Chungju is wild, man. You never know what’s gonna happen next. But hey, that’s what makes it fun, right?
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another adventure in the life of a huntsman. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
