Baek Seo-yeon was not wearing revealing clothes at all.
First of all, it was because he felt averse to such clothes, and his uncle Baek Jeong-woon didn’t like it very much either.
Above all, wasn’t he even more sensitive about that part because of what Seo Hyun-woo had said before?
‘It’s embarrassing to wear something like a swimsuit, and I don’t think the president will like it. Maybe I’ll try to count the number of moles on my body.’
Until then, he had not even paid attention to whether he had moles on his body or not.
The number of dots had never been counted in the first place, and no one had ever mentioned it.
But after Seo Hyun-woo talked about the number of dots, didn’t he unconsciously pay attention to it every time he took a bath?
‘…I should just go see a movie. After that, we can eat and drink coffee together. If I have time, I think I can try this and that.’
Before Kitter Day, Baek Seo-yeon had only considered her relationship with Seo Hyun-woo as a competitor or just a co-worker.
Actually, he always wanted to beat Seo Hyun-woo, and he thought he had to do his best in his work, so he didn’t go beyond that.
However, from the moment they realize that they are friends, there is no reason to be bound by that relationship.
‘From the perspective of the president, you might think I’m pushing you too hard… But you can still talk, right? It’s my friend.’
Baek Seo-yeon quickly turns over all the questions, stating that they are friends.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a proper friend in my entire life.
It was just a brief face-to-face meeting, and it wasn’t even worth getting to know.
However, Seo Hyun-woo was different from them, and did he not overwhelm himself by always showing a cool image?
‘If we were to be friends, this should be enough. You look reliable, but you constantly stimulate me, don’t you? There is something worth seeing and learning to create value to be close to.’
Seo-yeon Baek draws reasonable conclusions in a short time and fiddles with her smartphone.
Then, he quickly finds Seo Hyun-woo’s contact information and quickly taps it twice.
It didn’t matter if Seo Hyun-woo refused his invitation.
Seo Hyun-woo also gave him a birthday present with the intention of being rejected by him.
‘Perhaps the president has nothing to do. If I had other friends, things would be a little different… but I don’t think there’s anyone other than me.’
Seo-yeon Baek puts her smartphone to her ear and waits calmly while listening to the waiting sound.
The phone was connected quickly, and I could hear Seo Hyun-woo’s voice.
“Oh, yes. How are you spending your vacation? It is no different…”
There was a person who overheard Baek Seo-yeon’s voice over the training room.
There were only two people living in this house.
There was only one person left as Seo-yeon Baek had been away from home after entering Miterichi.
‘… The student council president is paying the price. Did you make Seoyeon call first?’
Baek Jeong-woon was listening with the reinforcement-type ability activated.
If the reinforcement system’s ability to strengthen the body was sufficient, he was able to fully develop his hearing.
Originally, you shouldn’t have acted like this, but there are many things that Baek Seo-yeon is hiding, so there is no choice but to do it this way.
‘I can just pass on a date, but nothing more. I’ve told you in advance, so I won’t do anything useless. Shouldn’t we be more sincere to take Seoyeon?’

‘…Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I don’t think he’s going to do this just because he brought extra presents on Keter’s Day.’
Seo Hyun-woo comes out of the movie theater and glances at Baek Seo-yeon next to him.
Baek Seo-yeon, as always, was showing her cold eyes with an indifferent expression on her face.
Tied up hair, hair flowing down the sides of her hair, a white short-sleeved T-shirt that looks baggy, and jeans of the right size.
Doesn’t it look like it’s uncomplicated, but it also feels like it’s decorated to the fullest?
‘The clothes you wear are plain, but it’s definitely something different because the wearer supports it. So why did you call me? It’s probably not because I just wanted to see a movie or something…’
Seo Hyun-woo has been suspicious of Baek Seo-yeon since he received a call asking him to meet separately.
Baek Seo-yeon, whom he knew, could not have asked to meet him for no reason.
Above all, wasn’t Baek Seo-yeon aiming for the seat of the student council president, considering her as a competitor who had to surpass herself?
‘I was told to come out, but I still don’t understand. If you have something to say, you can do it on the phone, and if there is anything you want from me, I would have told you earlier. But why didn’t you say anything?’
Seo Hyeon-woo couldn’t understand Baek Seo-yeon’s actions, so there was no choice but to create a lot of anxiety and caution.
It wasn’t that Baek Seo-yeon was not without warmth, but basically, she had a cold and reticent personality.
In other words, there was no reason to meet and watch a movie with him unless it was necessary.
‘Do you really want to hang out with me outside of Miterichi? You don’t even have a barrier system?’
Seo Hyun-woo frowned and looked into Baek Seo-yeon’s eyes.
It wasn’t difficult to compete, and I didn’t even think I was going to lose.
But if you fight without a barrier system, you might get hurt.
‘Apart from getting hurt, Baek Seo-yeon shouldn’t get hurt. If Baek Seo-yeon gets even one scratch, Baek Jeong-woon doesn’t stay still.’
Baek Jeong-woon had a much more gentle personality than when he worked as a subjugation team with Yoo Jin-seop.
For now, he did not participate in dungeon subjugation, and because of Baek Seo-yeon’s existence, he tried to act as normal as possible.
If there was a problem with Baek Seo-yeon’s life, Baek Jeong-woon would return to the cruel form of the past and try to punish the culprit.
‘I’m going to ask you a serious question while drinking coffee. What you need to know is whether to respond or not.’
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon entered the cafe and tried to go to the counter.
At the same time, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
The other side recognizes Seo Hyun-woo and comes directly to the two of them.
“long time no see. This time, I’m seeing you with my girlfriend.”
“Yes?”
“…”
Lee Min-seong, dressed in a suit, greeted the two with a briefcase.
However, Seo Hyun-woo is unable to accept the greeting and turns his gaze to Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon opened her mouth right away without a single change in the color of her face.
“Do you know anyone?”
“Ah, that… you are the team leader in charge of the performance test of the battle suit. Do you know about the related official documents?”
“okay. Nice to meet you. My name is Baek Seo-yeon, the vice president of the Miterichi student council.”
“…?”
Hearing this, Lee Min-seong looks at Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon alternately, and soon notices his mistake.
The two would not be dating, but merely as colleagues working in the same area in Miteric.
But, didn’t you mention the word girlfriend without knowing it?
“You made a mistake on the first page. sorry. They seem to have misunderstood for a while because they get along so well. As an apology, I will buy you coffee.”
“no. It could be.”
Seo-yeon Baek responds surprisingly calmly and follows Lee Min-seong.
Seo Hyun-woo moves with Baek Seo-yeon, thinking that Baek Seo-yeon is offended but doesn’t show it.
“Once again, I would like to apologize. In my mind, I want to serve something other than coffee.”
“it’s okay. Rather, I don’t know if we’re taking the team leader’s time.”
Baek Seo-yeon humbly answers and releases a rigid atmosphere.
Lee Min-seong looks at Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon at the same time and realizes the reason why he was mistaken.
The video I had seen before was engraved in my mind, so I had a feeling that it suited me well.
“Oh, I see now. Baek Seo-yeon, have you ever filmed a promotional video with Seo Hyun-woo?”
“I used to be a publicity model for Miteric.”
“It was, too. I was impressed with the promotional video, but I think I may have misunderstood it for a moment after seeing that feeling from the two of you.”
“It was. Thank you for a good look.”
Baek Seo-yeon answered softly with a faint smile on her face.
I didn’t feel bad because I mistook him for Seo Hyun-woo’s girlfriend.
In addition, the publicity video of Miterichi, which he was ashamed of, was viewed positively, so he was quite fond of it.
“Chief, are things going well?”
“Yes. As you advised, we are working on improving the problems. Maybe the official version will come out soon.”
Seo Hyun-woo sips his coffee, feeling that the time has finally come.
At the same time as the release of the official version of the battle suit, members of the Rebellion who infiltrated the development team were going to steal the data.
After that, Lee Min-seong woke up and got an artificial intelligence system that would assist in the production and operation of the battle suit.
‘… I won’t be able to see Lee Min-seong’s face for a while. He must be busy making the battle suit compatible with the artificial intelligence system and establishing a subsidiary of Hanhorn Industries. Did you keep the information well, as I said before?’
Seo Hyun-woo had Baek Seo-yeon next to him, so he didn’t even ask about that part.
You could ask them by phone later, and regardless of success or failure, you would have faith in yourself unconditionally.
‘You can see the full version of the battle suit in the undead subjugation. When that time comes, I’ll be able to copy several abilities. If you copy them well, you might be able to handle all four types of abilities.’
***
It was about 14 days after the summer vacation started.
Seo Hyun-woo left the dormitory with his binoculars as usual.
He was wearing modest-looking clothes so as not to be noticed, and even wore a hat and sunglasses in case he didn’t know.
Fortunately, the presence was lower than the black uniform he always wore, so he would have been able to follow him with a lighter mind.
‘Jinha Kang must be quite busy going to see Da-jeong Lee and Ha-young Min during the summer vacation. Especially today, we have to deal with the members of Rebellion who are trying to kill Yoo Si-eun.’
Seo Hyun-woo was heading to the aquarium, where Kang Jin-ha and Yoo Si-eun were going on a date.
On this day, Si-eun Yoo was going to reveal to Jin-ha Kang that she was a member of Rebellion and was involved in various accidents.
Jin-ha Kang kept the fact a secret and defeated the members of the Rebellion who came to kill Si-eun Yoo.
‘I wouldn’t go out of my way if possible, but when the leader or vice-chief shows up…’
Seo Hyun-woo suddenly stopped walking and took a deep breath.
Over the narrow alleyway, I saw a face I had met once.
It was expected that he would appear during summer vacation, but did he really know that the time would be now?
“long time no see. Did you get a good present?”
“Are you busy right now? Let’s talk later.”
“Is there anything busier than killing me? I wonder what’s going on.”
