Episode 46. jwachungudol (2)
Inside the counseling room.
In the middle of me and Seolchaehwa sitting facing each other across the desk.
Dalgrak. Dalgrak.
I didn’t even tell him to, but Kang Ah-ram noticeably brought out the car. I’m sure it’s changed a bit while I haven’t seen it.
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Senior Kang Ah-ram, please tell him to stay out of the room.”
“The counseling room here is well soundproofed. don’t worry. And he is someone you can trust.”
“what! cringe I just wanted to get outside anyway, so I was thinking of going out.”
Kang Ah-ram grumbles and closes the counseling room door and leaves.
And a brief silence followed.
“A person you can trust… … . Does that mean that you are an ally who will never betray Kim Do-yoon?”
“uh. If he does that, I will take responsibility.”
Dalgrak.
what. There seemed to be something popular outside the door. Haven’t you come out of the room yet? Because it was soundproofed, it was ambiguous, so I couldn’t be sure.
anyway.
Kang Ah-ram tends to come out arbitrarily and uncooperatively, but he keeps his loyalty unconditionally.
In the original work, on the subject of fighting with colleagues whenever they had a chance, it reminded me of how he acted as a shield when his colleagues were in danger.
“It would be nice. It must have been a few days since we met each other. Can you trust that much in such a short period of time? You don’t know what people do.”
“I don’t know about people, but when it comes to people themselves, I pride myself on having eyes to see them.”
“And what if you really get stabbed in the back of the head?”
“You forgot who I am.”
At those words, Seol Chae-hwa suddenly shuts her mouth.
“… … Is it possible to look into the other person’s head?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. It’s a privacy issue, so I just don’t use it recklessly.”
“Why didn’t you tell me you had that ability?”
“If you want to live a social life as an adult, you shouldn’t reveal your bottom line easily. There was no reason to brag about it. Besides, it’s not like you’ve ever asked a separate question like now.”
I quenched my throat once with the tea Aram Kang had served. Seol Chae-hwa just stared at the car in front of her.
“sorry. Today, for some reason, I keep showing you a side of me that isn’t like me.”
“What happened?”
Right after I said that, Seol Chae-hwa began to tell her story one by one as if she had waited.
From nob le mt l. com
Just as expected. All of them were stories I expected, incidents I knew from one to ten.
Ghost’s betrayal plan that has been steadily progressing since before. The false accusation that Septagram was involved in a plan called an artificial satellite project in progress. Hearing the news, those who had supported Seolchaehwa so far turned around in an instant.
“If it’s Kim Do-yoon, would you trust me? Please look inside my head. Then you don’t know! I never had any dealings with the septagram!”
Did your emotions intensify while you were talking about your situation? Seol Chae-hwa’s voice became more enraged.
I answered calmly.
“You don’t have to look. You are someone you can trust.”
“Really? Aren’t you giving me empty words to comfort me?”
I tried not to bring this anecdote out. The current seolchaehwa looked too precarious.
“You know the last time we were attacked by a septagram at our villa.”
“What if that was also because I was instigated to target Mr. Kim Do-yoon?”
“Listen to the end. Then I got this offer from your Ghost.”
I told her the call log I had prepared for this time, the voice recording I had exchanged with Ghost at the time.
Seol Chae-hwa, who listened to the conversation quietly, opened her eyes wide at first, blushed briefly in the middle, and looked at me with interrogative eyes at the end.
“Why, why are you telling me this now? If only I had known this sooner… !”
“It wouldn’t have meant much. You know because you’ve been through it too. They’ve been thoroughly prepared for a long time. Had you responded a little faster, the result would have been the same.”
It was somewhat apologetic for her, but for me, it was more comfortable for her to fall for sure than for her position to waver halfway.
Only then will she think of ‘destroying the artificial satellite project herself to clear herself of false accusations’ rather than ‘maintaining Chilsung’s position somehow’.
‘Originally, this was the right way. When you’re cool, you have to be cool.’
It’s just that I’ve been shaken so far because a situation where a person’s life is being controlled right in front of my eyes. As long as you don’t die, you can aim for another chance somehow. I thought so.
“or not… or not! You shouldn’t have just hugged me then and accepted their offer! Then, if you tip me off about their plan, somehow, in a different way… … .”
“Seolchaehwa. calm down.”
“but!”
“If I had chosen that way, you would never be able to live a happy life in the future, no matter how you deal with them or how you come up with a solution.”
“Why are you so confident! To me, Chilsung is my everything! You are more important than me!”
“really? Do you really think so?”
I grabbed Seolchaehwa by the nape of her neck and pulled her in front of my face in an instant. They were so close that they could feel each other’s breath.
“Hey, what is this… … .”
“Are you here because you need my help? Then my condition is simple. kiss me on the lips Right Now.”
“that… that… … .”
Two eyes extended to the limit.
A face that has turned into a blush.
As I stared at her, her eyes hesitated down as if looking for a mouse hole.
“Look. You can’t.”
I put the hand that had pulled Seol Chae-hwa by the nape of her neck and placed it on her shoulder, then carefully pushed her toward the chair she was sitting on.
She turned her head away, covering her mouth with the back of her hand, perhaps because she was quite embarrassed by the situation. Previously, it was red like a carrot, but this time it was stained like a well-ripe persimmon.
“A first kiss is for a loved one who will be with you for the rest of your life, and a first experience is for an eternal companion who will walk with you for the rest of your life. It’s so romantic. It’s like a line from a poem.”
“Uh, how did you do that?!”
“You said earlier that I could look inside your head?”
“Oh no! I didn’t say that I was allowed to look at such embarrassing things!”
Could it be because of the broken heart? Instead of the usual cool-headed Seolchaehwa, this flustered Seolchaehwa was very unfamiliar yet friendly.
I waited patiently for her rough breathing to subside.
“Are you calming down now?”
“If not, will there be smoke in the chimney? Suddenly, I had an idea.”
“I used shock therapy to keep you awake. I don’t do that to anyone.”
“Looking into my head in a mean way… . Knowing that I like bad boys, I deliberately… … . I can’t really.”
Even in the original work, seeing Seol Chae-hwa’s girlish appearance is in the latter part of the story. It was quite enjoyable to watch because it was a rare sight that could be seen only when the affinity level was set to the maximum.
“It’s not like this that’s more important than that. yes?”
Leaving behind the disappointment, I decided to turn the subject back to reality.
Seol Chae-hwa, who had been pouting somewhere, regained her true color at my words.
“yes. I want to get rid of this false accusation.”
“Did you say it was a satellite project?”
“I thought that if they intended to accuse me of being involved in the plan, then I would have to explain it by destroying the plan myself.”
“You will need strength.”
“Information is sufficient. After all, I had to leave the satellite project materials with my company in order to be framed. It’s like taking advantage of something that drove me into a corner.”
For this purpose, Seol Chae-hwa of the original work begins to meet and go out with the personal connections she has made so far.
During this process, those who heard rumors related to her reject Seol Chae-hwa’s request for help, and some present very difficult demands, targeting the fact that she is cornered.
‘I spent a lot of time in the negotiation process.’
In the original, there was room to do that. Not now. The Septagrams have already laid the groundwork for the satellite project.
As much as it is necessary to hurry. I had no intention of waiting for Seol Chae-hwa to go around looking for personal connections.
“good. Then, let’s proceed with the defeat plan with a small number of elites.”
“Tell me why.”
“They must be keeping an eye on your actions somewhere. Because you and I all know that a person driven into a crisis will make a fuss. If you go around looking for connections, you will definitely stand out.”
That’s why in the original work, the septagrams dug traps inside the laboratory in advance.
‘Even so, it was a meaningless action against the fraudulent Yuseong.’
I’m not the kind of balance-disrupting character who has received a lot of corrections for the main character. Right now, during the Seolchaehwa villa incident, he is a weakling who fell down after saving a child. I had to go out as carefully as possible.
“You said it was a minority class. How many are you thinking of?”
“Aram Kang, whom you and I saw earlier. And you just need to save one more person from your side.”
Originally, I was planning to find a colleague separately, but if Seol Chae-hwa joined, the story would be different. It would take me a long time to convince even one person, but it would be different with her.
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. It’s a shameless request in a situation where I’m asking for help. Can’t you get help from the pyoyurim? You are close with Yurim.”
“He can’t. There is a reason.”
I answered sternly.
“Why?”
“You would know. If you’re a big player like Pyo Yu-rim, you’re always watched by Septagram. We are sagging that we have to move covertly. In a word, he is a problem because his presence shines too much.”
“You mean taking the risk into account and putting it into operation? He has the power to suppress the slightest threat with force.”
“I can’t force him that much. Why do you keep knowing? He’s a kid who still has the aftereffects of the last time he went to the end of Halo. You were the one who told me that the other day you came to the villa to rescue me and showed signs of exhaustion from using too much magical power.”
Seol Chae-hwa closed her eyes tightly and lowered her head.
After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth.
“sorry… . I’m so impatient… … . I don’t normally do this, but I keep making mistakes.”
“Find one of your connections. It only takes one person. The most reliable person to commit to this operation. A person who is capable, has a heavy mouth, and can come to you with loyalty even if he doesn’t pay you right away.”
“Where in the world is there such a person?”
“Why not? You’re stepping up like this to help me, even if it’s just me right now.”
“ah… … .”
It must have been really painful for a while. I don’t think it looked so lax in the original.
‘On the contrary, the original was full of venom from the anger of being betrayed, and it stood sharper than ever.’
The seolchaehwa in front of me now seemed to be as angry as it was back then, but it wasn’t as sharp as in the original work.
What is the reason?
“Thank you, Doyoon Kim. really… . Like the last time I requested a friend, you listened to my stubbornness every time like this… .”
“hmm.”
“Like the villa incident, there was no need for you to go through so much trouble for me… … . It’s hard to imagine how much harder it would have been if it wasn’t for Kim Do-yoon.”
this. the culprit was me
Seol Chae-hwa looks at me and looks at me with sorry eyes and, on the other hand, grateful eyes.
“It’s just the big picture.”
“The big picture?”
“Because I’ll help you out this time and give you a lottery ticket again. When you become the president of Chilsung later, please take good care of me. Think of it as an investment.”
“Did you mean that? great. The effort and time invested in me so far. And I’ll pay you back with interest and compound interest.”
I was glad to see her recovering her energy again.
“good. Then, film the new wave drama until here. Let’s get back to the point.”
“We were talking about connections. is it so. Did you say you needed someone like Kim Do-yoon?”
“You don’t have to take me as an example… … .”
“There is one person.”
“really?”
“Although it is a bit inappropriate to simply describe it as a personal connection.”
Having said that, I became more curious.
“Who is it?”
“I don’t think there is any need to explain. You’ll know when you see it. I’ll call you right here. Are you okay?”
“It doesn’t matter… … .”
The result of waiting for a while to know who it was.
“hi!”
I was finally able to meet
“Come on. Thank you for listening to my request.”
“Thank you! Originally, friends help each other and help each other! Isn’t that right, Uncle?”
Nayeon Eom.
She was the best person Seol Chae-hwa could think of.
if you think what i thought
‘This is a bit difficult.’
It was also very seriously troublesome.
It wasn’t that I doubted Eom Na-yeon’s abilities or qualities.
“Was this the other fellow you were talking about?!”
The moment Na-yeon Eom was called inside, A-ram Kang frowned and began to react in refusal.
“Eh? Is Aram’s older sister here? How did you come here?”
“Woo-wook. Chew. don’t pretend to know don’t even talk Because your mouth smells disgusting.”
“Ah~ What’s wrong, unnie~”
“Hick! Go away b*tch!”
I felt dizzy already.
The reason I was concerned was none other than that.
‘Even in the original work, there was a very high probability that the game would be over if I put the two of them as teammates and ran the game.’
It was because these two had a bad relationship in the past.
