47 – Haerin Kang (47)
Haerin Kang (47)
‘The Possessors’, the only web fiction club in S University.
Since it is a club that analyzes both male and female orientations, the naming focuses on ‘possession’, an element that stands out almost in common in both novels.
In addition, there was also an aspiration as a reader to ‘possess’ and read the character beyond over-immersion.
However, a few weeks ago, the club activities that started full of expectations were gradually fizzing out.
One of the causes is the frequent absence of key attendees.
“Park Se-young, are you missing again?”
Baek Yoo-ram frowned as he entered the classroom.
Although it is quite cumbersome to rent a classroom for club activities, the attendance rate of Park Se-young, who was one of the founding members, was quite low.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-a said as if they were sorry.
“Ah, Se-young, I went to the police station now.”
“police office? why?”
Baek Yu-ram’s face grew more wrinkled.
“Did you finally stalk Lee Dong-min?”
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah shrugged at the malice and sarcasm in those words, but then explained.
“One of my classmates is ‘Hyejeong’, and she was assaulted by her boyfriend. Se-yeong witnessed it and took her to the police station to file a complaint now.”
“……”
Baek Yu-ram shut his mouth.
She didn’t really hate Park Se-young, and she did a good job, but what can I say?
Starting with her, Song Yeon-woo almost suffered bad things, and she always stepped on a ‘land mine’ in a relationship.
“What fetish does he have?”
Baek Yoo-ram said rather grumpily.
“When you see a pitiful person, you can’t stay still.”
Park Se-young was kind but far-sighted.
Considering that I got to know her from OT before the start of the semester, it’s been almost 3 months, but the more I got to know her, the more persistent she was.

Just as there are Raiders who can spot other people’s misfortune, they approach them with their innate personality.
Try to solve it instead or together.
‘You don’t have to face all the pain.’
Even though Baek Yoo-ram told them several times that Park Se-young’s help could be painful for the parties involved, that habit did not change in the slightest.
“Because he’s not normal either.”
Baek Yu-ram sighed and said.
“Then, shall we start by ourselves?”
“Senior, but don’t we select members again? My classmate wants to come in…”
“Looks like he’s looking for Dongmin too, right?”
“… yes.”
“no. Are we Lee Dong-min’s fan club?”
Baek Yoo-ram neatly arranged it.
Recruitment of new members has been suspended.
There were people who inquired about joining, but it was still in the early stages of the meeting, so I wanted to solidify the internal stability, and more than anything, their interests were on my mind.
‘Dongmin-senpai belongs there, right?’
These requests were often made.
It was not wrong because Lee Dong-min officially had enemies with the ‘possessors’.
However, not only did he not attend the meeting, but it had been several weeks since he hadn’t even left school.
When I inquired at the administration office, they said that I had taken a leave of absence.
‘Are you taking a leave of absence without saying anything?’
All of the members who joined Lee Dong-min due to their interest in it were refusing because they thought there was no way they would be fine.
‘…Is Lee Dong-min that good?’
Baek Yu-ram thought so for no reason.
‘They weren’t interested in the original.’
When Lee Dong-min first entered school, people who had not recognized his true worth suddenly started talking about him just because of his ‘appearance’.
Baek Yu-ram was grumpy and angry.
It was as if a treasure only known to me had been taken away.
Of course, she didn’t immediately recognize Lee Dong-min’s value, but there is a ‘story’ between the two.
Baek Yoo-ram was once saved by Lee Dong-min.
That’s why it’s different from other people who only look at the face and pay attention.
Despite his timid personality, Lee Dong-min’s completely different style after returning to school touched the hearts of many women at school.
Kang Hae-rin was also largely to blame.
The spotlight shone brightly on Lee Dong-min, who had a quiet personality, as the overwhelmingly beautiful girl who could not take his eyes off of both men and women clung to him.
‘They’re a very proud couple.’
Baek Yoo-ram was sarcastic.
It’s really funny.
Lee Dong-min and Kang Hae-rin barely spoke to each other and went to school together, just the two of them.
However, everyone talks about them as if they are celebrities or protagonists.
‘Because we have enough. Let’s forget Lee Dong-min.’
It was clear that he had forgotten her anyway.
So no contact at all.
“……”
Members were still using 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』 as the text and analyzing it from various angles.
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah still resent the author’s ‘submission’, but they couldn’t give up hope of resuming the serialization and dug into the details.
Only Baek Yoo-ram and Park Se-young knew that it was Lee Dong-min’s work, but it was very strange.
“Aren’t you tired of it?”
Baek Yoo-ram said.
“I hear you’re even writing fanfiction?”
“I never get tired of 『Journal』. senior.”
“If we earnestly wish for it, the writer-nim will come back too, well, that kind of expectation.”
Looking at the innocent juniors, Baek Yoo-ram smiled bitterly.
They were truly gifted fans.
Looking at the enthusiastic expressions of her juniors, she couldn’t bear to say that this was Lee Dong-min’s work.
I still think of it as the ‘Lee Dong-min club’ in the middle of the day, but I didn’t want to be more obsessed with him.
Knowing that Park Se-young couldn’t let go of her attachment to Lee Dong-min, I thought that even she should hold the center of gravity as a leader.
“I will change the subject from today.”
“yes-!?”
The members screamed at Baek Yoo-ram’s declaration.
“We are still analyzing the beginning of our 『Journal』…”
“Guys. Are we a web novel club or an analysis club for 『Kang Haerin’s Murder Diary』? You’ve been dealing with that for weeks already. I can’t even see the original text anymore.”
Baek Yu-ram put his hand on his waist and said.
『Journal』, which had recently been discontinued without notice, was suddenly discontinued on all websites.
It was a reaction that was worse than the fact that the juniors were so desperate that they failed the creative writing class.
“You don’t know yet. I might come back.”
“That’s right, I stopped a while ago and came back…”
From nob le mt l. co m
Jiyoung Hwang and Yuna Kim protested.
But Baek Yoo-ram was adamant.
“I called the management and asked. There is no plan for serialization, the writer said that the intention was firm. So don’t get your hopes up in vain. Move… No, the writer isn’t coming back.”
“You pretended not to be interested, but at some point you even called…”
“… Yoona? What did you say?”
“no. senior. Then what shall we do?”
Hwang Ji-young and Kim Yoon-ah, who noticed that Baek Yoo-ram’s planting was uncomfortable, quickly changed the topic.
“…a novel made real.”
“yes?”
“I pulled out my thesis. It is a text that analyzes novels written in the material of ‘novels embodied in reality’. Let’s choose from the novels mentioned here.”
“Oh, let’s read it.”
“Are you talking about the apocalypse?”
“There are many web novels like that. Aside from the apocalypse, being possessed by a novel the author wrote himself.”
Baek Yoo-ram let the chattering juniors go through one ear and distributed the prepared prints.
Somehow I didn’t feel better.

“It is possible to bring Detective Park Seong-gang, but from then on, it’s your ability. know?”
“huh.”
A cafe in the afternoon.
Me, Kang Hae-rin, and my sister sat there, anxiously waiting for a man who hadn’t arrived yet, Park Seong-gang.
Park Seong-gang is a homicide detective in my novel.
Certainly not a real person.
It shouldn’t have been.
However, as there is a video of him interviewing the media as a detective in charge of the ‘Gangnam club group assault and death case’, there was no doubt about his existence.
There was a case of Kang Hae-rin, but I couldn’t believe that my sister knew him.
“Not exactly someone I know.”
my sister said
“Perhaps you will remember too. You know the rice cake stick that your older sister took with you when you were being bullied in your first year of high school?”
My sister smiled and said.
“That brother belongs to the Gangnam Police Station’s Criminal Division. If it’s a personal connection, it’s a personal connection, and I also remembered it earlier.”
I also remembered that brother.
How can I forget the superhero who appeared in front of me when my older sister ran away from home and was bullied throughout middle and high school?
My older sister brought a friend for the first time in a few years and gave true education to those who had been harassing me.
As his older sister put it, he was a man who seemed to be 190 cm tall and had a handsome impression like a lead.
Maybe it was when he was just hired at the police station?
Of course, the subtle bullying continued after that, but it made school life much more comfortable.
The older sister called the older brother and got the answer that there is a detective named ‘Park Seong-gang’ in the detective department.
I was even quite friendly with him.
It was ‘realistically’ impossible.
Park Seong-kang is not a real person, but a character in my novel, so I couldn’t be a close colleague detective for ‘several years’.
My sister seemed to think the same.
“It’s dizzy. If Seong-gang Park is Seong-gang Park in the novel, then it doesn’t logically make sense to have known a real person, the category type, for a long time. Ugh, complicated.”
she said, shaking her head.
However, through the case of the woman who remembered Kang Hae-rin from ‘5 years ago’, I accepted the reality.
There is no point in doubting what has already happened.
All that matters is using it.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just as Kang Hae-rin exists and Ban Lee-jae exists, detective Park Seong-gang only plays his role.
Park Seong-gang in the original work discovers Kang Hae-rin while investigating Ban Yi-jae’s crimes, and relentlessly pursues her.
Although he is clearly on the side of the good, he was a villain due to the nature of the novel where he empathizes with Kang Hae-rin.
If Kang Hae-rin had already committed murder and Park Seong-gang smelled it, he would have become the most threatening and contradictory being to us who want to remain on the side of justice until the end.
We can’t directly eliminate Park Seong-gang, and we can’t leave him alone, because the excellent investigative power will suffocate Kang Hae-rin.
But it’s still safe.
She never committed a murder.
As if thinking the same thing, Kang Hae-rin was immersed in thought with a somewhat strange expression.
Isn’t it a reunion with people who have already killed once in her head, like Ban Yi-jae?
“How about you, sister is the best? doesn’t it help? How many points?”
My older sister crossed my arms and winked.
“……..”
And my sister is worried that she is getting more and more like a child, and that something is becoming something.
“But why are you meeting the detective?”
my sister asked.
“You don’t have to call me out, you can just go to the office.”
The reason for wanting to meet Park Seong-gang in person is simple.
We have no ‘evidence’.
We have no choice but to convince them one by one, very slowly, through what we will do from now on.
To do so, Park Seong-gang’s patience was needed.
As far as I know, he’s better than other detectives because he’ll listen to the end, even if it’s absurd.
What remains is my role.
As my sister said, the question is how well I can persuade Park Seong-gang.
My heart was pounding.
It’s the first time I’m directly confronting a police officer, especially a homicide detective, and talking to a stranger is very difficult for me, who is shy.
However, I controlled my anxiety by repeatedly reminding myself that he was my ‘creation’.
He is a person I am more familiar with than anyone else.
“Hey, Idami-”
at that time.
Contrary to our expectations, a voice came from behind.
A large man with short hair and a leather jacket smiled cheerfully.
“Brother, long time no see-?”
My sister also happily slapped him on the arm.
“Greetings, Detective Joo Hyung.”
She introduced him to Haerin Kang and me.
“He’s the brother I was close with.”
“Hey, why are you in the past tense?”
Categorical said playfully.
“Oh, hello.”
I said hello to him
“Oh, it is you. Dami’s younger brother. I almost didn’t know How many years ago, when I saw you then, did you become clear? Since I cut my hair, there are no handsome boys.”
The categorical type was a person with a loud voice.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just looking at it makes me feel strong.
I saw a man standing next to him.
You finally see
A man with an expressionless head bowed.
Park Seong-gang.
He wasn’t as big as the categorical type, but he had a solid physique, and he was also quite skilled in martial arts.
As someone who follows Kang Hae-rin until the mid-to-late half, her abilities are proportionately excellent.
Among the Haerinians, there were many people who were the only ones who liked Park Seong-gang.
“Who is this beauty…?”
“Hey, don’t take your eyes off it. Because you are my sister’s girlfriend.”
The category-hyung was shocked to see Kang Hae-rin and asked, and the older sister pretended to treat him.
Even though they were arguing on the outside, it was very fortunate that they seemed to be trying to protect Kang Hae-rin from the outside.
“I’m not interested because I have a wife, but Dami, are you okay? Are you my brother’s girlfriend? Girlfriend, are you okay? Dami is like her mother-in-law… Billion!”
My sister punched the category type chest.
“Noisy.”
It seemed light, but it was quite loud.
… It’s pretty close.
However, the categorical detective seemed to find his sister’s huffing reaction funny, and he flinched uncharacteristically.
“You don’t have a boyfriend? While that shy little brother is making such a beautiful girlfriend, what are you still… oh!”
got beaten up again
… Am I serious?
I felt a great sense of responsibility that I came to this place risking the fate of Kang Hae-rin, myself, and the people around me, but the atmosphere became somewhat comical as it seemed that my sister and the category detective were reuniting after a long time.
While they were chatting and chatting, I looked at Park Seong-gang and started talking to him.
“Detective. Are you dealing with the Gangnam club group assault case? I have something important to tell you.”
At my words, Seonggang Park raised his head.
“Yes, please tell me.”
“I know the culprit.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on my words.
My older sister and the categorical detective who quarreled.
“Yes, I heard what you said. Shall we listen?”
Park Seong-gang said in a heavy voice.
His gaze seemed to reach Kang Hae-rin, but soon returned to me and stuck.
“The culprit’s name is Ban Yi-jae.”
I said.
To prevent Lee-jae Ban from approaching Hae-rin Kang, he just needs to reveal his criminal past.
The right person is Park Seong-gang.
But there is a fatal problem here.
“…of course I didn’t do it alone. But the problem is… there is no evidence. For now.”
“……”
Seonggang Park’s hand, which was taking notes, stopped.
And stared at me intently.
My sister and the categorical detective also looked at me in bewilderment.
Haerin Kang was just calm.
