Hearing this, Han Yu-jeong kept her mouth shut for a moment, not even showing a change in her expression.
And not long after that, he bursts into laughter and tilts his head back.
– Whoa! Are you serious about that?
– Seeing you smile, have you ever thought about it?
– Oh, sorry for laughing. My brother must have been serious in his own way.
– It doesn’t happen once or twice, so it’s not that surprising.
Han Yoo-jeong slowly reduces her laughter and returns to her original expression.
I don’t know when, but there have been times when I’ve had the same thoughts as Baek Jeong-woon.
But I soon realized that it was meaningless, and I had no choice but to change my mind.
– There is some truth to what you said. Although it is a copied ability, it is true that all types of abilities can be used. Maybe we can copy Yoo Jin-seop’s entire ability. But I don’t think so either. The rotten bastard didn’t show up.
– …I understand what you mean. There was no need to check whether it was true or not.
Both of them knew Yoo Jin-seop’s personality well, so they had no choice but to understand each other.
Yoo Jin-seop focused on acting quickly while keeping the words once uttered.
In other words, if Jinseop Yoo thought of the student council president as his successor, he had no choice but to reveal himself.
– He disappeared after saying that, but there’s no way he won’t show up. If you didn’t know, he’s an idiot.
– You may have already left Korea. You might not be so sure.
– You can still see it in my eyes. There is no need to pressure the student council president, right?
Han Yoo-jung had various possibilities in mind.
Not only Seo Hyun-woo, but also several students from Miterichi and some awakened people have been secretly investigated.
It was inevitable that the situation would always exist, and it was not possible to easily infer Yu Jin-seop’s thoughts and actions at this time, so he had to prepare in advance.
– Oh, did I tell you? The vice president of the student council is also on the investigation list.
– Already expected. There are three types of abilities that can be used, so there must be some potential.
– I thought you’d be angry, but surprisingly you just let it go?
– Just because I said not to do it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do it. As an ex-colleague, you can think of it as giving the least consideration.
– Jungwoon’s oppa has also died a lot by then. Is it because of the vice president of the student body?
Han Yu-jeong muttered as she recalled the time when she and Baek Jeong-woon were dealing with demons.
Baek Jeong-woon was an Awakener from Ganghwa, who, along with Yoo Jin-seop, took the lead in the subjugation team.
He took on the most dangerous role, but so far he has never been seriously injured.
He was that skilled, and in close combat, even the same Black Hunter would not have dared to surpass him.
– Since there is no running around in the field, you can kill your temper. What could be angry about rolling a pen?
– It would be the other way around. In the field, death or injury is the end, but office work is only a headache. If you’re a middle manager, pecking up and down will only stress you out.
– As the chairman, you know enough to know. So I must have mentioned my nephew.
– He looks very handsome because he doesn’t resemble his brother. You seem to resemble your mother a lot.
– …that’s why I’m worried. I don’t want to have any scars on my face. He trains every day to beat the student council president, but there is no way to stop him.
I thought Baek Jeong-woon’s voice had become softer.
It must have been that the topic of the conversation changed to Baek Seo-yeon, his nephew, and he immediately showed interest.
Even though Han Yoo-jung knows this, she smiles and continues the conversation.
– The vice president of the student body probably isn’t that weak either. Maybe the student council president is too strong.
– I heard you have a bad personality… Is that true?
Baek Jeong-woon had already heard several things about Seo Hyun-woo from Baek Seo-yeon.
Wasn’t it said that he has excellent skills, but is quite authoritarian, and has no faults, but shows an overbearing attitude.
So Baek Seo-yeon, who was assisting in the work, had to be a little worried.
– If you had a really bad personality, would you have helped the vice president of the student body? Rumors do sound bad, but they’re not credible either.
– If you don’t even do that, I’ll kill you. You have to look at it separately from having a bad personality.
– Then, shall we meet in person? I can give you some space.
– In Miterichi, it sounds like a non-interesting thing to say or babble.
– right. How about giving some advice to juniors when you come? There are even plausible excuses, so even if I meet the student council president, I won’t think it’s strange.
– …
Baek Jeong-woon was already aware of Han Yoo-jung’s intentions.
It was meant to come to Miterichi and give a lecture.
Baek Jeong-woon was a current black hunter and at one time almost got promoted to Setinos Hunter, so he was quite famous among the Ganghwa Hunters.
Perhaps Han Yu-jeong thought that even if Baek Jeong-woon gave one lecture, it would be of some help to Miterichi’s operation.
– Is there really no other way?
– It doesn’t matter if you just come. But what will the people around you think? Besides, I don’t know how the vice president of the student council, whom my brother especially cherishes, will receive.
– … let me think a little bit.
***
Inside the studio of a public relations agency.
Seo Hyun-woo was changing in the changing room after receiving a newly made uniform.
There was not much difference from the uniform he always wore.
It was just a recently made uniform that looked cleaner and neater.
‘This is right. You can’t wear old clothes while shooting a promotional video, right?’
Seo Hyun-woo habitually wears gold badges and epaulets at each location and looks at the mirror.
He always looked like a normal person.
The only difference was that the dark circles under the eyes had completely disappeared.
‘Nutrition is certainly helpful. The price seems to be quite high. It seems a bit excessive for a reward for a hairpin…’
Seo Hyeon-woo comes out of the dressing room with his clothes on completely.
Perhaps Baek Seo-yeon was also changing clothes by now.
If I had not persuaded Baek Seo-yeon in advance, I would have definitely refused to become a publicity model.
‘The work itself went smoothly. Although Baek Seo-yeon expressed her reluctance, she followed my words well. So, unlike the original content, can’t it be said that I and Baek Seo-yeon are closer to each other?’
When Seo Hyun-woo stopped, the coordinator who was waiting outside came and started to check his appearance and clothes.
It was a promotional video that was released to the public, so it was necessary to decorate the exterior in the best condition.
However, there were not many parts that were actually filmed, and most of them would be finished after going through CG work.
‘I didn’t know that such a variable could be created with just one picture. But it’s not all bad. I’m seeing little by little that I can solidify my position.’
Seo Hyun-woo has always made plans and revised them whenever he has time.
The reason was to complete Miterichi safely, and also to prepare for future work.
To increase the growth rate, to make strong hunters into allies, and to establish one’s own foundation.
In order to achieve all of this, I thought I might have to reveal a little bit of my presence.
“It’s done. You just have to go to the 3rd set.”
Seo Hyun-woo comes out of the waiting room and checks the information board on the wall.
The road is a bit complicated, but if you’re not sure, you could ask the staff for directions.
“You came first.”
“Oh, are you done too? It suits you pretty well.”
Seo Hyun-woo turns his gaze to Baek Seo-yeon and glances up and down.
He was wearing the student council president’s uniform, not the vice president’s uniform he always wore.
There was a slight difference in the presence or absence of gold thread embroidered on the collar, sleeves, and the ends of the top and bottom, so it was immediately noticeable.
“It’s the clothes I wear all the time, so what could go well with it?”
“There is a little wave in the ends of my hair. Without hairpins, it seems a little empty.”
“Does it look like that too?”
Baek Seo-yeon unwittingly brushes her hair in the area where there should be a hairpin.
It was a little uncomfortable when I first used it, but once I got used to it, the empty space felt quite large.
Especially when Seo Hyun-woo says such a thing, don’t you care a little bit?
“This is a bit disappointing. You are better off without makeup.”
Seo Hyun-woo’s gaze naturally shifted from Baek Seo-yeon’s hair to his face.
I thought the makeup was a little darker.
The eyebrows were marked with a lot of effort, and the lips seemed to have gotten even more red.
“… I usually wear makeup.”
“is it? It’s better than that. Doesn’t makeup ruin your face?”
“I can’t tell if it’s a compliment or an intellectual thing.”
“It’s a compliment. There are not many cases where a face without makeup is pretty.”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Seo-yeon Baek is displeased, but satisfied in her own way.
With that much detail, there’s really nothing to say.
Besides, Seo Hyun-woo didn’t make a big difference whether he wore makeup or not, so it’s hard to say.
“They said it would take around 2 hours at the earliest, and it would take about 3 hours at the latest. Do you have any other plans after that?”
“Not at all, but why?”
“I wondered if we could have lunch together.”
“Are you going to eat alone then?”
“That’s why you’re asking in advance.”
“After… let’s go. I’d like to end this first.”
Baek Seo-yeon looked around and took the first step.
Seo Hyun-woo immediately follows him with doubts.
‘Don’t you know the way? I would get lost there.’
***
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were coming out of the cafe in plain clothes.
Filming had already ended, and lunch had already been completed.
Today was a much more relaxed day because I was instructed to take a complete rest.
Perhaps the two men’s duties would be handled arbitrarily by the direct secretariat and administrative office.
“I thought he knew the way because he moved confidently.”
“It was a mistake. As I went, I thought that I would not arrive on my own.”
“Thanks to that, I got to the set about 20 minutes late, but it was quite fun. It’s not easy to see you panicking.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon tries to make excuses, but then shuts her mouth.
Is it so much fun to have made a mistake?
But she couldn’t even respond because it was her own fault.
“Um… It’s a bit odd to go back to the dormitory like this.”
“Do you have anywhere else to go?”
“No, no. just because I got bored.”
Baek Seo-yeon, who heard those words, showed cold eyes.
No matter how much you were told to rest, how could you show such an accommodating attitude?
However, Seo Hyun-woo was staying at a very high level, so he could not even point it out easily.
“Why don’t you train at that time?”
“You can’t just train all the time, can’t you? In order to live a human life, you also need to enjoy your leisure life.”
“The president and I have different circumstances…”
Baek Seo-yeon feels an eerie presence and is startled for a moment.
There was something strange about it before, but it was only now that I felt a proper presence.
As if Seo Hyun-woo noticed it too, he opened his mouth carefully.
“I feel bad. I think he was a guy similar to that guy back then.”
“Are you talking about the student who turned into a monster?”
“okay. This time, they seem to be targeting me.”
Seo Hyun-woo moves naturally with Baek Seo-yeon and tries to lure the opponent down.
Obviously, something similar happened to the original Seo Hyun-woo.
He even had a similar feeling to Kim Tae-joon, who had just turned into a monster.
However, I thought that the time and place had changed slightly.
‘I don’t know why he appeared now… but I don’t think it’s necessary to waste time. There aren’t many people around right now. If you aim well, you can finish it in one shot, right?’
