44 – What I had planned
Jo Yu-mi, a vocalist who is considered to have the voice of God. She has made her name known not only in Korea but also overseas, so she can be said to be the most talented vocalist.
Starting with the anecdote that when she first started singing at the age of 13, her teacher cried when he heard her voice, she sang in a country that had been at war for a long time, and the war immediately broke out. Even the story that it has come to an end.
Her numerous anecdotes raised her to the point where she could be called a legend, so there were countless people rushing to see her operas even if they had to pay a lot of money, and places were looking for her and inviting her. There were countless.
Not only in Korea but also overseas rushed to invite her, and she was traveling around the world performing operas, and domestic fans who had been waiting all their lives to hear her voice were eagerly awaiting her return. Ah, the situation I was waiting for. Therefore, the news that she returned to Korea this time was enough to become a hot potato.
The news that she suddenly returned to Korea spread all over the place, and many people were excited about her surprise performance that was suddenly held in Incheon without any news, but those who could not see the performance expressed their sadness.
-We are planning to tour around the country, and the next performance is scheduled to be in Seoul.
But when she made a surprise announcement in front of reporters who came to cover it, her people went crazy once again. Even more so when it was revealed that the performance she was performing this time was her signature opera ‘The Masked Woman’, and that she did not receive ticket money as a talent donation performance in collaboration with a large company.
This time, there were a lot of people who wanted to see her performance, and those who wanted to get the most important tickets were said to have tried like crazy – so much so that all 3,000 seats were sold out in 2 seconds.
“No matter how hard you tried, you would never be able to get a ticket.”
“I know too. “It feels real when I see the people.”
Czerny Opera House, the largest theater in Seoul. That long line of people must be spectators waiting to see the performance.
It’s only when I see that crowd that I feel like it’s real. Hangyeol nodded, breaking into a cold sweat at the words of her classmate who was laughing next to her.
“So, why did you come here?”
“I came to watch it with Yena and her family.”
“Oh, are childhood friends different?”
“What about childhood friends… I’m sorry, but I’m getting married right after I graduate.”
The male student – Jeong In-jun, laughs bitterly at Han-gyeol’s words and grabs her head.
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“It’s noisy. “Do you know that feeling when you wake up and see your childhood friend holding a marriage certificate and smiling in front of you, and when you look down at your fingers, they are painted with ink?”

“It doesn’t matter because you don’t have to know. “It’s someone else’s business.”
“f*ck.”
Hangyeol patted her shoulder while laughing at Injun’s words, and he soon closed her eyes tightly and swept her face with his hands.
“So, where are the girls and why are you here alone?”
“It must have been a long time already. They’re probably checking your identity right now… What about you?
“Yena? You must be with your family right now. “When called, you have to go in right away.”
“Then we will move together then. “I have to meet the clients once before leaving.”
Unlike In-jun, who came as an audience member, Han-gyeol and her female students came to receive formal work as heroes.
“Are you going straight away after saying hello?”
“Okay. Wow, be nervous. “Maybe you should have eaten Cheongsimhwan or something?”
“You’re uncharacteristically nervous… Oh, you said you were a fan.”
What they have to do is none other than the bodyguards of the Chairman and Jo Yu-mi. Is that why? Hangyeol soon trembled and stiffened, and Injun laughed out loud as he looked at him.
“I’m really shaking when I see it in person… Ah, the kids are here.”
“Hyeonwoo! “Injun!”
As they were talking like that, the male students who turned their backs when they heard Yena’s voice coming from afar looked at the female students who came in a group and smiled widely-
“…Boss.”
“Why?”
“Hey, aren’t these Boss’s friends? With Hero Shield-“
Hyunwoo looked in the direction pointed by Eunji, who spoke next to him, and soon after seeing familiar faces, he smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t pay attention. “If you stare intently and get caught, it’s over.”
“Hey, I came out with all the disguises anyway, so who’s going to recognize me?”
“Because you never know.”
Hyunwoo grumbled, but the smile did not disappear from his face. Ji-hyeon and other people were happy to see him, but In-jun next to him also felt new to him.
“So the story was misaligned?”
“…Yes?”
“I’m talking to myself.”
Someone who should have died is still alive. That means Yena and Injun are still dating, and if so, Yena, who was the heroine in the original game, remains Hangyeol’s only friend.
The female students who had been rushing in out of anger for stealing Hangyeol no longer had to do so, and rather, Yena probably accepted them as a calculated favor. Being able to use recently emerging heroes as bodyguards is a huge advantage.
Hyeonwoo finally realized the truth about why Jihyun had joined, and he laughed bitterly at that fact and shook his head.
“How can things turn out this way?”
“Are you worried?”
“Well, that’s right. You’ll have to wait and see. “Anyway, why did you come?”
“Oh, it’s a couple’s seat reserved!”
“…I see.”
Eunji smiles happily. Hyunwoo sighed deeply at her words.
It wasn’t a question of why two people had to come, it was a question of why she was working with him – but seeing her smiling and crossing her arms as if she was really happy, he guessed the reason and shut her up. He was not a man without tact, but it was probably an unavoidable choice for him to cowardly keep his mouth shut.
“He’s already a known face.”
“I’ll say it again, I’m in disguise, so everything’s okay! Also, if you think about it that way, the boss is the most dangerous? “I heard you almost got caught last time.”
“Well… I guess so.”
“Besides, the status of the reservation holder is mine, so there’s nothing I can do about it? So just accept it!”
Hyunwoo was unable to say anything to Eunji’s rebuttal and nodded at her. He immediately crossed his arms and smiled at Eunji, who was smiling.
Is there anyone who can recognize them? To be honest, the possibility is zero. If you look at these people, whose hair style, eyes, and facial shape have completely changed, you will not realize that they are villains, but rather just fresh-faced students.
“First, lower your voice a little.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
But now they are among the crowd, so if they hear the conversation and report it, they could be taken away. Of course, in modern society where we don’t pay much attention to others, that may not be the case, but there is no harm in being careful.
People continue to enter the building. Eventually, the end of the long line begins to appear, and soon their turn approaches.
“I will check the ticket.”
“-Then shall we go? Senior?”
“Of course, I’m looking forward to it.”
They pointed the scanner at them and started acting casually towards the employee who was checking their tickets. They acted so naturally that even those who were skeptical turned their heads.
“Seats for two have been confirmed in the name of Jang Yoon-jeong. Then, I hope you have a good time-“
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you!”
Maybe they thought they were still a young couple? The staff member, who was looking at the smiling boy and girl in school uniform, smiled broadly and bowed his head as soon as the scanner indicated that they were harmless. Then, they immediately passed through the scanner and stood in front of the entrance to the Cherny Opera House.
“Wow… It’s really magnificent.”
“Because it is the largest opera house in Seoul.”
They looked around with their eyes shining with colored lenses –
“…Are in-ears okay?”
“It looks like they didn’t get caught. “Can you hear me?”
-Don’t worry, I’m listening.
As soon as I confirmed that there was no one around, I immediately contacted the man.
-They say it’s a strict security system, but they’re so incompetent that they can’t detect even a radio like this.
“You never know. It might be a ploy by the evil brigade to just let us pass and then proceed with their work. What about zero?”
-We are constantly checking your location, so we will be able to respond well to any unexpected situation. However, you never know, so hold on tight.
Hyunwoo and Eunji nodded with firm expressions at the man’s words, then instinctively reached into their pockets to check something –
“…I hope I never have to use this.”
As soon as I felt something wriggling inside, like a firefly emitting a strange light, I sighed in relief and slowly walked inside.
“But, is it really possible to survive with this…?”
“At least we will be safe. “Once.”
“Once? “What about after that?”
“Go inside. If you notice anything unusual, please report it immediately.”
“Boss?!”
Eun-ji was surprised when Hyeon-woo avoided her answer and asked back, but there was no answer. She sighed as she followed behind Hyun-woo, who had started to lead with a nervous expression.
