Part 8
After hearing this, Seo-yeon Baek showed a rigid expression and couldn’t even breathe for a moment.
He said such a shameless thing to the extent that he could not even understand himself.
Maybe he did something like that to get his attention.
“You are so good at what you say. Are you showing interest in the boys who approach me now?”
“I was just saying what I knew. You wouldn’t want to date another man anyway.”
“What do you mean? What does the president know about me…”
“As Vice President, you have a huge responsibility. Besides, you’re training nonstop to beat me, right? To you like that, dating is close to luxury. So, of course, he wouldn’t even look at other men.”
Seo Hyun-woo recites what he knows without a single lie.
He knew well enough what kind of beliefs and goals Baek Seo-yeon had.
Besides, Baek Seo-yeon also had a very clear sense of values for her ideal type, so she would not have been able to achieve her gender as an ordinary man.
“I… I am a woman too. Of course, the level of interest in men…”
“Should I guess about your ideal type? You won’t even try to talk to a man weaker than you. In addition, a man who is not polite in his speech and behavior, and who shows a coercive appearance would be extremely hated. Am I right?”
“You talk as if you know me well. Since when did you become so interested in me?”
Baek Seo-yeon was surprised, but did not express it.
How do you know yourself so well?
We’ve only had conversations a few times recently.
Yet, aren’t you seeing through your own thoughts and inclinations at once?
“I can’t help but be interested. The vice president is a colleague who leads the student council with me. In addition, unlike the other department heads, he assists me and shares the main tasks of the student council. Am I wrong?”
“… you are not wrong.”
Baek Seo-yeon becomes very serious at the unexpected answer and listens to Seo Hyun-woo.
Seo Hyun-woo has never revealed his thoughts or feelings about himself.
It would not have been possible to say such a thing simply as a joke.
“I heard rumors that there are quite a few male students betting on you… I want to know if that’s true.”
“Not to that extent. Occasionally, I only see a few of them.”
“Perhaps you also find them annoying. It would be annoying to refuse them one by one. But if it were me, it would be a different story. no one can approach you Unless you look down on me.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered by pouring boiled water into a teacup containing a tea bag of black tea.
To be honest, I expected to some extent that Baek Seo-yeon would become entangled because of the statement that he had a girlfriend.
Of course, it was part of the intention, and it was also a way to block female students from approaching him.
If rumors spread that the vice president is his girlfriend, he won’t ask for his contact information.
“Are you saying you did that for me?”
“It’s also for me. I’m sorry I didn’t ask you for your opinion, but I couldn’t help it. I had to find a good place to spread the word. Well, the timing came before I spoke to you. So, I did it right away with the thought of an apology later.”
Seo Hyun-woo sat down on the sofa, plausibly matching words and situations.
It was only an additional part that he and Baek Seo-yeon did not get involved in troublesome things.
In reality, he had only spread the rumors that were sure to spread.
Because of that one rumor, the main characters, Jin-ha Kang and Seo-yeon Baek, would have to face the first case.
“This is a bit surprising. Quite… yes, it is.”
Baek Seo-yeon looks at Seo Hyun-woo’s back, immersed in thought.
He couldn’t accept the fact that Seo Hyun-woo had done something for him in the first place.
Didn’t he despise people who were usually only doing their jobs and lacked skills?
Maybe it has something to do with the recent change in appearance.
“Now do you understand? When you’re all angry, come and have a cup of tea. Even if you get angry, I will accept it.”
“… pu huh.”
Seo-yeon Baek sheds a small laugh and sits straight down on the sofa.
While sipping a teacup, Seo Hyun-woo looks straight at Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon was looking at her with a strange smile.
“Then that would be a lie.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You say you have a girlfriend… Isn’t that a lie?”
“Why do you make a good girlfriend into a bad person?”
“Then you can show me a picture you took with your girlfriend. Wouldn’t you say it’s difficult?”
“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo seemed to be speechless at the unexpected reaction.
Of course, since I didn’t have a girlfriend, there’s no way I could have taken a picture with my girlfriend.
Moreover, since most of those photos were on the smartphone, even the excuse that they were stored elsewhere would not work.
“Oh, if you’re going to say you don’t have a picture on your smartphone, you’ll have to show me something else. For example, shouldn’t there be a couple or a message exchanged with a girlfriend?”
“I don’t want to show my personal information to anyone.”
“That’s right. Well sir. I wish the excuses were a little more plausible.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon brings the teacup to her mouth with a smile on her face.
There was no more conversation between the two.
Only the sound of sipping a teacup filled the interior of the student council president’s room.
smart.
“Oh, the protagonists of the rumors were gathered in one place. Would you like to hear an answer now?”
As soon as the knock is heard, the door to the student council president’s office opens immediately.
She was an impressive girl with black hair and red eyes.
Besides, he was wearing a black uniform with a gold insignia and epaulettes, so he could tell he had the position of chief.
“The president said he had a girlfriend. Of course, that girlfriend is not me.”
Seo Hyun-woo is suspicious of Baek Seo-yeon’s answer, but quickly understands his intention.
Clearly, he was convinced he didn’t have a girlfriend by asking a few questions.
However, there was a reason for telling such a lie, so it was deliberately tailored to him.
Above all, the rumors had already spread, so even if the truth was revealed, the students would not easily believe it.
“what? So it was only true that he had a girlfriend? hey, that’s not funny Aren’t you lying?”
Min Ha-young, the head of the transformation department, looks disappointed and sits on the sofa opposite Baek Seo-yeon.
Of course, he didn’t fully believe the rumors.
It was just a disappointment in anticipation of what would happen if it were true.
“Were you Scarlett Lord?”
“Then who would it be? … Oh, the president only exchanges texts with other managers, doesn’t he?”
“It is not.”
“To be savvy… At this point, the chairman should also use Chocolate Talk. Everyone else is using it, so why is only the president doing it?”
“Isn’t that also my strength? He is good at his job as much as he is knowledgeable.”
In response to Seo Hyun-woo’s answer, Min Ha-young quickly shuts her mouth and looks at Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon was just sipping her teacup with a glance as if she was looking at her.
“No, why are you answering like that? Shouldn’t we be bluffing by saying that we’re talking nonsense again?”
“I must have grown up that much. In the future, I plan to be humble.”
“I wondered how much it would change if the president changed… People went completely crazy.”
“Looks like a compliment. thank you for listening And just like you said, try using Chocolate Tok. It’s not fun even if you’re too savvy.”
“Oh, that’s really not funny. Now you can’t beat the president, can you?”
Min Ha-young, with a tired expression on her face, completely buries herself on the sofa.
The student council president, who was full of poison and hostility, was nowhere to be found.
There was only a strange person with a soft demeanor, making silly jokes.
“Oh, is this the power of love? My girlfriend made the president weird. It makes me want to see the face of how it came to be.”
“Even if I want to see you, I can’t. They are doing other things over there.”
“Oh, surprisingly, it seems that older people have a taste for it. Do you look prettier than our vice president?”
Min Ha-young deliberately mentions Baek Seo-yeon and looks at the two of them.
There was no way Seo Hyun-woo had a girlfriend.
Besides, it doesn’t even make sense if you don’t see each other often.
Seo Hyun-woo, whom he knew, was a person who prioritized work performance and maintaining the position of the student council president.
‘It’s pretty obvious, but it’s unexpected. In the meantime, I didn’t know that the two of them were secretly dating without anyone knowing. Perhaps it was because of the vice president that he changed his personality recently. Because you want to look good to the people you love.’
Min Ha-young thought it was strange that Seo Hyun-woo said that he had a girlfriend.
There was no reason to say things like that unnecessarily, and there was no way he could not have known that useless rumors were being created.
Perhaps it should be said that he indirectly confessed his relationship with the vice president on this occasion.
‘We must have looked at each other. Because there are children who do not know the subject and walk to work. That doesn’t mean I can’t openly tell you that I’m dating. They both have face to face, and they will be criticized by the president or the president.’
Min Ha-young looks at the two of them in turn and smiles faintly.
What should I do with that relationship that is so close but clearly visible?
I was interested in just watching, and when I secretly intervened, I felt like I was being swayed by meaningless things.
‘I’m so excited over there. You just want to steal it Even if I’m not better than the vice president, there’s nothing worse.’
***
Inside the Sheriff’s Office in Miterich.
The security office was quite noisy, unlike usual.
Because a lot of things changed because of special instructions from Miteric’s Chancellor.
Starting with the Minister of Security, most of the key personnel of the Ministry of Security were dismissed or demoted.
Therefore, they were taking over their duties by changing positions according to their different positions.
“Hmmm… Manager Kim, can you spare a moment for me?”
“Yes, Chief.”
The two of them looked into each other’s eyes and cautiously got out of the security room.
Both men were indirectly related to the incident, but have not yet been subject to disciplinary action.
It was not known when they would be discovered, but it was necessary to prepare in advance.
“The president noticed too sooner than expected. How did they know that the security department had put surveillance into their battle watch?”
“Not necessarily. 3 months is quite a long time. If it hadn’t been for the Chief of Security, I’d have been caught right away.”
“If we go into scrutiny soon, we’ll get caught too. That way, there will be no one on our side in the security department.”
The two exchange opinions in small voices and look around from time to time.
It was something that no one else could enter, and it was a matter of their own life and death.
Even if they were to die, the mission should never fail.
“I can’t help it. Wasn’t it something you had already expected? But that time just came a little early.”
“From now on, it is said that the Ministry of Security will be transferred to the student council. If it goes to the security department, it’s really over, isn’t it?”
“That might be a good thing. If we go to the student council quietly like this, the security department may not receive any disciplinary action.”
“…Certainly that’s a bit better. Even if only the head of the security department remains, we can steal some information from the security department.”
“There is no bigger problem. Recently, the student council president said that he noticed someone on our side. If we make a mistake here, the student council president may discover the identity of the head of the security department.”
