“Wow… what do you mean? There’s no way I can’t be sad about something like that, can I?”
Baek Seo-yeon unknowingly stuttered and answered directly.
When you suddenly give someone else a gift that you used to give only to yourself, of course, you have no choice but to question it.
From his point of view, there was no reason to be sad, he was only slightly concerned.
“Um… can I take it as a sign that I don’t have to give a present? If I don’t accept the present I’ve prepared for the most part, I think my position will be a little awkward.”
Seo Hyun-woo says so, but brings a gift box and a paper bag from his work desk.
Baek Seo-yeon, who saw it, looked forward to it, but carefully looked away.
Since he himself had prepared a present for himself, didn’t he always come looking for an opportunity to secretly give it to him?
“…it seems a little too much for a gift.”
“Shouldn’t you give it to your uncle as well? I was taught, and I even exchanged phone numbers, so you have to be polite.”
Seo Hyun-woo puts a gift box and a paper bag on the table and lifts a teacup.
In order to maintain the network once connected, it was necessary to keep the basic parts.
For that purpose, in addition to Baek Jeong-woon, didn’t he prepare gifts for Han Yoo-jung, Park Do-woon, and all the managers?
“Even though the executives of the student council are in a competitive relationship, the fact that they are students in the same position does not change. And you and I are at the center of it, keeping our balance.”
“Then, is there a reason for giving me a special gift?”
“You are different from the managers. They share the same work as me, and often meet face to face. You are practically my closest ally, but if not me, who will take care of you?”
“…?”
Baek Seo-yeon felt her shoulders shrink and fixed her gaze on Seo Hyun-woo.
This time, I mentioned the word “closest”, not for the sake of myself.
Shouldn’t it be said that he is trusting himself as he did in the past and still feeling a strong sense of intimacy?
“In a way, the birthday present was given for the same reason, but for a slightly different reason. At that time, I wanted to close the relationship with you. I also wondered what would happen if I didn’t accept the gift I gave him.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon was still speechless.
It wasn’t a bad feeling, and it wasn’t that I was curious.
He realized Seo Hyun-woo’s sincerity late and was more embarrassed than necessary.
“Until then, you and I weren’t on a very good side. We cooperated with each other because we had a common task, but in reality, it felt like we were doing it reluctantly. Of course, there were a lot of problems with my personality, so I can’t make excuses for it.”
Based on the description, Seo Hyun-woo guessed the feeling of the original Seo Hyun-woo and put it together naturally.
The reason for breaking the custom in time for Kitter Day was to improve the friendship between the student council executives.
At the same time, the intention was to avoid misunderstanding even when giving each other personal gifts.
‘This way, even if it’s Baek Seo-yeon or someone who gives you a present, you won’t hear strange noises. Every time you try to do something, don’t you care too much about his customs?’
Seo Hyun-woo has still been considering variables according to individual thoughts and actions, but I thought that it would not have much meaning now.
The occurrence of major events and the composition of the characters were fixed to some extent, and many things had already changed enough to change.
Now that it’s a variable, it only gets complicated in the head, but doesn’t it just get in the way of acting in the future?
‘I guess I’ll just leave the minimum safety device behind. Because there is such a thing as At first, I tried to keep the balance well, but this doesn’t work.’
Seo Hyun-woo cleared his head and started thinking about summer vacation.
As Miteric would soon be closed for school, he would be given about a month of summer vacation.
From then on, shouldn’t we be focusing only on maintaining Jin-ha Kang’s growth and relationship with the heroine, abandoning his obsession with variables?
‘What is this saying… A love affair? How did I become like this? But I can’t pretend I don’t know Kang Jin-ha…’
“… President.”
At Baek Seo-yeon’s call, Seo Hyeon-woo immediately wakes up and turns his gaze away.
Baek Seo-yeon’s eyes became softer, and I thought that her voice was lacking in strength.
Because it was the first time he had seen him, Seo Hyun-woo had no choice but to be engulfed in a sense of heterogeneity.
“Why?”
“Then, from now on, can it be said that I and the president are friends?”
“…?”
Hearing that, Seo Hyun-woo felt a moment of disappointment and barely put up with the laughter that was coming out.
How did you feel about yourself all this time to say something like that?
“Do you think so?”
“… Is that so. Just because we’re friends, I’m not going to gossip. As I said before, you have to be polite. Could you please wait a moment?”
“I do.”
Baek Seo-yeon gets up immediately and leaves the student council president’s office.
And within a few minutes, I returned to the student council president’s office with a small paper bag.
“This is a gift from a friend. It also commemorates the Day of Kitter. I made it myself, so I hope you enjoy it.”
“Uh… let me take it well.”
“I will tell my uncle about the gift the president gave me. then…”
After saying that, Baek Seo-yeon took all the gifts Seo Hyun-woo gave her.
Then, he gently bows his head and leaves the student council president’s office.
A faint smile was drawn on Baek Seo-yeon’s lips, and her sharp eyes seemed to have loosened a little.
‘Have you finally become friends with the president? I didn’t expect you to be so honest. I mean, this is a friend.’
***
A dormitory for male students, Seo Hyun-woo’s room.
Seo Hyun-woo was walking into the room carrying all kinds of gift boxes and paper bags.
Baek Seo-yeon, the secretaries of the exclusive secretariat, Han Yoo-jung, Park Do-woon, and Irev Kanasual, who hastily sought chocolate.
Although it was a day to commemorate eternal friendship, if you liked the person, you could give them a present without any excuses.
‘Still, Kang Jin-ha must have received more than I did. Not only the heroines, but also other female students would be interested.’
Seo Hyun-woo puts the things he was holding on the desk and sighs belatedly.
Now there was no one to give him a present.
On Kitter Day, only cigarettes, alcohol and chocolate were to be given as gifts.
It was because those three were the last things the two Setinos hunters who died in battle enjoyed.
‘I’ll probably give you chocolate as a gift. Cigarettes and alcohol are not easily gifted because they have strong likes and dislikes…’
Tilliling, tiling.
The intercom was ringing.
Seo Hyun-woo immediately picked up the receiver from the intercom and brought it to his ear.
“… yes? Did the courier arrive? I’ll go get it right away.”
Seo Hyun-woo tilts his head and walks out the front door.
There was no one who could send a package to him.
Because Seo Hyun-woo had no family, and no acquaintances except for those in Miterichi.
‘What is this? Could it be that Rebellion didn’t send it?’
As soon as Seo Hyun-woo arrives with the parcel, he is alert and frowns.
However, it was a package that had been checked by security personnel, and a separate inspection device must have been used.
In other words, it meant that there was practically no problem with the delivery.
‘Um… I don’t know either. Let’s check it first.’
Seo Hyun-woo cut the tape on the delivery box with a knife and carefully opened it.
Inside was a rectangular red box engraved with golden patterns and letters, and a letter envelope.
Seo Hyun-woo looked at the box and envelope alternately, and then picked up the envelope first.
[You and I are connected by fate. You should be able to meet me before I leave Korea. Do you still want my life?]
‘… Oh, it’s ruined.’
Seo Hyun-woo, who checked the stationery in the envelope, shook his head, engulfed in sighs.
The only person who could leave such a message was Ryu Seon-hwa, the head of the Kraxis Church.
Besides, he was paying attention to himself, not Jin-ha Kang, so he instinctively thought that something was wrong.
‘I think you’ve seen Kraxis from me. Otherwise, I can’t show this kind of reaction.’
Seo Hyun-woo picks up the rectangular box and checks the contents inside.
A wine bottle filled with dark red wine caught my eye.
The surface of the box and the label on the bottle looked quite luxurious, so I could tell at a glance that it was an expensive item.
‘Now, instead of Jinha Kang, I will come to you. Well… how should I deal with it?’
Seo Hyun-woo knew about Ryu Seon-hwa’s disposition, so he could be sure.
It was probably because he was trying to come directly to check if he was Kraxis.
Wouldn’t Ryu’s reaction also change depending on what kind of results would come out at that time?
‘If it had to happen like this, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to pretend to be Kraxis. Including Ryu Seon-hwa, I might even be able to get the Kraxis Church. If you can edify it well and use it for necessary things, there is nothing better than that.’
Seo Hyun-woo had previously considered the Kraxis Church as an enemy and had to be annihilated at any time.
However, if the Kraxis Church was on his side, he had no choice but to change his mind.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of all, I thought that the fact that I could bring Ryu Seon-hwa with me was pretty impressive.‘I’ll have to meet you first and check it out. If I’m really thinking that I’m Kraxis, can I revise the plan?’
***
It was about 5 days after the summer vacation started.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of the students left the dormitory and went home, and the students who had no place to return remained in the dormitory.Because their families lost their lives by demons or vicious hunters, there was no place to stay except the dormitory.
Of course, Baek Seo-yeon also belonged to this category, but because her only family was so strong, she was never able to go back.
‘… it’s boring. You don’t have to go out to enjoy anything. Rather, when I was working in Miterich, I felt like I was doing something.’
Baek Seo-yeon was training on her own in the training room at her home.
It was not lacking even compared to Miterichi’s personal training room, and he was always able to use it to his heart’s content.
But unlike when I was in Miterici, it was so boring and I didn’t even want to train.
‘Should I call the president? Unlike in the past, we’re still friends, aren’t we? There’s nothing wrong with playing with friends.’
Baek Seo-yeon hesitated a little, but slowly pulled out her smartphone.
Originally, he would not have even thought of calling Seo Hyun-woo directly.
However, Seo Hyun-woo admitted that they were friends with his own words, and didn’t he agree with that statement?
‘Then what should I do with the president? Should I go see a movie? Or should I ask him to go to the beach? Well, I guess that’s not the case either. If you wear a swimsuit, you’re too revealing.’
