chapter 10
10 episodes
Seo Hyun-woo deliberately spit provocative words and showed cold eyes.
I had to sort out the controversy about the two people and the rumors at once, obscuring the atmosphere of the meeting.
In fact, I knew that the original Seo Hyun-woo often used this method.
Above all, no one could beat Seo Hyun-woo at this point.
‘Even the main character, Jin-ha Kang, finished Miterichi after a draw with me. Managers can’t beat me. It doesn’t mean that Seo Hyun-woo was given the title of the strongest in the school for nothing.’
Seo Hyun-woo keeps silence and observes the reactions around him.
Min Ha-young and Lee Da-jeong, who were the cause of this situation, tried to manage their facial expressions, but did not say anything.
The other managers were also quiet, but only Jin Se-hee had a faint smile.
Even in this situation, Si-eun Yoo still did not change the color of her face.
‘Because he’s an elite member of Rebellion, he’s pretty calm. In fact, there aren’t many Awakeners as strong as Yoo Si-eun in Rebellion.’
Seo Hyeon-woo looked at Yoo Si-eun and then looked away.
From the point of view of Rebellion, there was a high probability that he would depend on Yoo Si-eun because he could no longer use the members who infiltrated the security office.
Perhaps, if the circumstances were not favorable, even if all the members infiltrating the secretariat and the security department were thrown away, I thought that they would leave only Yoo Si-eun.
‘Now all the managers have gathered. It’s a little early, but it’s not that much of a problem. Because Jinha Kang has already enrolled in Miterichi.’
Seo Hyun-woo confirmed the news of the main character’s admission and proceeded with the plan quickly.
From now on, we would have to slowly strengthen our relationship with the managers while observing the protagonist’s performance.
“I think we can proceed with the meeting now. Let me say it again. Rumors that the vice president and I are dating are not true. But it’s true that I have a girlfriend. Please keep this in mind and do not mention it again.”
Seo Hyun-woo finished it perfectly and started reciting the official letter from the administration.
This wouldn’t change those two people, but I was able to keep them in check for a while.
After all, those two were also the heroines of the main character, and their relationship with them was only a passing moment.
I just narrowed the relationship a little bit to prepare for future variables.
‘There was no need to react like that. Because those two were like that from the beginning. What the hell is the president thinking?’
Baek Seo-yeon does not even pay attention to the file folder and is in trouble.
No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t understand Seo Hyun-woo’s actions.
I’d rather end it with a light warning like before.
Because the Seo Hyun-woo he knew was not a person who cared much about rumors or provocations from the managers.
‘Do you want to listen to me? no. I can’t. I wonder if the president would be interested in me…’
Baek Seo-yeon is unsure and looks at Seo Hyun-woo.
If you think about it, there were quite a few suspicious parts.
Asking me to go to the hospital, spreading false rumors for myself, or defending myself like I did before.
If I didn’t have a special feeling, I would never have said or done something like that.
‘It must be a coincidence. Yes, it must be a coincidence. The president told me… No. Absolutely not.’
“Vice president, didn’t the administrative office ever explain this matter separately?”
‘I’m so relaxed these days. You have to train harder to get rid of distractions…’
“Vice President, are you listening to me?”
“Yes? Oh yes.”
At Seo Hyun-woo’s words, Baek Seo-yeon woke up late and started checking the file folder.
Min Ha-young and Lee Da-jeong feel their mouths tickling, but don’t say anything.
For today, I had to avoid arguing with the president and vice president.
‘I must have been negligent to treat you kindly for a moment. The student council president hasn’t changed either. It’s just that the way he treats people has become a little softer.’
Yoo Si-eun just pretended to be looking at the file folder and began to grasp the atmosphere of the conference room.
The students gathered here were quite talented even within Miterichi.
Perhaps even compared to the current hunter, the lack of something could not be easily found.
However, wasn’t Seo Hyun-woo, the student council president, the strongest in the school that no one could overcome?
‘The member who infiltrated the secretariat deserves suspicion. He has charisma and knows how to set the mood and direction. It would be impossible without the support of innate personality and intuition. How am I supposed to deal with it?’
Yoo Si-eun is troubled as she thinks about her future plans.
In principle, he would have to follow Seo Hyun-woo’s instructions while maintaining his neutrality.
However, such an attitude could lead to suspicions from Seo Hyun-woo.
‘For now, let’s look at the situation a little more. There may be gaps in the room if you just change it. Even the student council president must still be suspicious of the members who infiltrated the secretariat.’
Yoo Si-eun was well aware of how important the position of the chief of the security department was.
It was not even comparable to the position of a secretary in the student council’s secretariat or a member of the security department.
In some cases, he would have to sacrifice all of them and keep even himself.
‘You just have to look normal. All you have to do is do what you’re asked to do, and talk to each other every now and then. No matter how good the student council president is, he can’t even find out the identity of Rebellion.’
***
As soon as the ordinance meeting was over, Seo Hyun-woo returned to the student council president’s office.
Seo-yeon Baek said that she had something to think about for a while and went back to the vice president’s office first.
And instead, Jin Se-hee, the head of the property department, followed Seo Hyun-woo into the student council president’s office.
“What did you come here for? Did you come to apply for a Ranked Battle in response to my provocation?”
“It would be difficult to beat the president in the current state. I’m just here to ask you something I don’t understand.”
“If you are asking about your girlfriend, I have nothing to tell you. Please, let’s hope it’s another question.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered by pouring water into the coffee pot.
There was no need to set a date for Jin Se-hee.
He was a person who knew enough about what to say and what to do, and he didn’t show any hostility towards him.
Originally, he would have been dating him after completing Miterichi, but now he couldn’t even predict what would happen.
“Why did you tell yourself that you have a girlfriend? There would be no need for me to say that.”
“…you are asking a more trivial question than I thought. I didn’t expect you to be so curious about it.”
Seo Hyun-woo replied calmly while watching the water in the coffee pot boil.
It was probably not a trivial question from Jin Se-hee’s point of view.
Because he is showing interest as an object to surpass himself or as a person of the opposite sex.
Of course, nothing was certain, and I thought we would have to talk a little more to find out more.
“There would be no way to know. If you say that, the students will of course know that you and the vice president are dating. Wasn’t that what you were aiming for?”
“Why am I aiming for that? I just gave a definitive answer because there are a lot of girls who annoy me.”
“That’s it, you know better.”
The water in the coffee pot was boiling violently with a click sound.
Hearing this, Seo Hyun-woo was startled and immediately raised the coffee pot.
Hopefully, Jin Se-hee thinks that she is interested in Baek Seo-yeon.
“You are misunderstanding something. The vice-president was connected by chance. Me and the vice president are just colleagues working on the same job.”
“Then why did you lie about having a girlfriend?”
Seo Hyun-woo, who was pouring water into the teacup, stops and frowns.
There was no way for Jin Se-hee to recognize her lie.
In the first place, have you never exposed your personal information or lies to others?
“…I never lied. I don’t want a good girlfriend to turn into a bad person.”
“If you really have a girlfriend, you probably have at least one picture. Oh, no matter how blunt the president is, would he have something like a coupling or a gift from his girlfriend?”
Seo Hyun-woo puts two teacups on the table, remembering the answer he gave to Baek Seo-yeon.
He had been saying the same thing as Baek Seo-yeon.
From now on, I thought I would have to prepare photos and couplings.
“I don’t really want to show it.”
“I’d rather just say that I’ve just been dating my girlfriend. The vice president probably noticed.”
“…I can’t even lie. Would you like to hear how he found out about my lies?”
“It’s intuition.”
“What did you just say?”
“Intuitively, I thought you were lying.”
“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo stops the hand holding the teacup and stares blankly at Jin Se-hee.
Jin Se-hee was sitting on the sofa, sipping a teacup as if nothing had happened.
Can one’s intuition be able to expose one’s lies?
“The vice president would have noticed it intuitively. Even though the president’s personality has changed a bit, he’s not someone who wants to do things like love in vain.”
“How else do you know that the vice president noticed?”
“…it’s a gut feeling.”
Because the answer is irrelevant, Seo Hyun-woo unconsciously laughs.
If he had that level of certainty, it would have been meaningless even if he tried to deny it.
“Is that the so-called intuition of a woman?”
“Because I’m about to become a vice president or me, I’m aware of that. The head of the transformation department or the head of the shape department lived only with their mouths, their senses were loose. The head of the security department doesn’t know either.”
“So what now? Are you going to go around talking around the neighborhood that I don’t have a girlfriend?”
“Yeah, nothing changes. Because rumors have already spread that you and the vice president are dating. Why did you spread such rumors?”
“Didn’t you tell me before? There were many female students who asked for my contact information, so I tried to borrow a little bit of the vice president’s power. It’s pretty annoying to say no.”
Even though Jin Se-hee has doubts, he quickly understands.
Aside from being the strongest in the school, Seo Hyun-woo was quite popular with female students.
Although he knew that he had a bad personality, his abilities and appearance were outstanding, so the female students naturally caught up with him.
“But there is no way the vice-president would allow it.”
“I just did it my way. I did apologize later.”
“…it seems to have gone well.”
Although Jin Se-hee answered that way, she did not completely believe Seo Hyun-woo’s words.
Even when Baek Seo-yeon was subjected to such a thing, there was no way she could just pass on it.
Obviously, because of this incident, there was a high probability that there was a special conversation between each other.
‘If I had been the vice president, I would have asked and listened right away. You’re probably wondering why I did this. Then the president…’
Jin Se-hee assumes the situation in her head and picks out what Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon could say.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were not on good terms, but they had thoroughly cooperated with each other regarding work.
However, since Seo Hyun-woo touched the private part first, Baek Seo-yeon had no choice but to ask for a definitive answer.
‘But the vice president acted as usual. At today’s ordinance meeting, he seemed to be thinking differently…’
At that moment, Jin Se-hee realizes something and immediately looks at Seo Hyun-woo.
Baek Seo-yeon was a student council executive who showed remarkable concentration when it comes to work, training, and battle.
If she had other thoughts while working, there must have been a good reason.
‘Did you confess by using rumors as an excuse? Is Baek Seo-yeon thinking about it? Maybe you’ve already accepted it. So, should it be considered that the two of them are pretending not to be dating while dating?’
