NOVEL NEXT chapter 54
54 – Discipline 22. The Leader Does Not Get Distracted (2)
“Is it next door?”
Geumyang quickly covered her naked body with a towel and greeted her calmly.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Geumyang.”
“…”
White Paper looked into Geumyang’s angry eyes without saying a word.
Ahn Woo-jin has never introduced Geumyang to Baek Seo. It was because Geumyang didn’t want it.
In fact, this moment was the first meeting between the two people.
“… “Who are you?”
A white paper that opens the conversation calmly.
He displayed superhuman mental strength and had his usual kind smile on his face.
One, White Paper turned his free hand back and clenched his fist. She also had a cold shadow around her eyes.
It was difficult to control the excitement in my heart, so it was a helpless physical reaction.
“I already told you my name, so it seems like I’m asking something else… ” . Well, I am inevitably indebted to this house.”
Geumyang went into Woojin’s room and came out wearing a loose white shirt.
White Paper immediately recognized that the shirt belonged to Woojin.
Geumyang’s appearance once again grabbed the strings of Baekseo’s reason and shook him.
“It’s simple, but come in.”
I don’t know why Geumyang, and not the owner of the house, said such a thing, but Baekseo took off his shoes and went inside without saying anything.
In the meantime, Baek Seo was waiting for Woo Jin to introduce her, the girl with golden hair, Geum Yang in front of her.
Even though the promise was postponed, she understood and waited for Woojin.
Considering that White Paper said he would definitely introduce me to him, it didn’t seem like it was a secret relationship.
But… I had no idea that Woojin and Geumyang would have this much of a relationship.
The fact that they were even living together was a shock.
Feeling like her feelings would be revealed, Baek Seo walked quickly to the kitchen and started putting side dishes into her refrigerator.
Meanwhile, Geumyang lay down on the living room sofa as if it were her own home
“Are you the manager’s friend?”
“Not a friend.”
What came back was a sour answer.
“Wouldn’t it be better to not be your girlfriend?”
The white paper spoke in a confident tone.
“Of course.”
“…”
“…”
Baekseo hoped that Geumyang would quickly explain her relationship with Woojin, but there was no answer.
One after another, silence came. Even though the uncomfortable silence continued, Geumyang spared her words. She clearly looked annoyed.
In the end, the white paper had to continue asking questions.
“Are they like siblings? I heard that such cases are common.”
Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law.
Since the majority of people in Neo Seoul do not have families, there were many people who formed such relationships.
Among them, ‘siblings in righteousness’ were the problem. In particular, when a man and a woman of similar age become sworn siblings, there are many cases where they end up becoming husband and wife.
Even in the Neo-Seoul setting, there is a lot of demand for novels, comics, and dramas that feature siblings in righteousness.
Many students even harbor romantic feelings about such relationships.
Woojin was no exception.
“Hmm. It’s similar, but not.”
Should I call this fortunate or not? .
The white paper sighed in a small voice.
“Then what is it?”
“Hmm.”
Geumyang stroked her chin, pondered, and answered, “Ah.”
“Master-servant relationship?”
The white paper stopped moving.
* * *
Weeeing.
The smartphone vibrated.
“Huh?”
The sender is ‘Yoon Tae-ho’.
My friend is the student council secretary and is my middle school classmate. This is the guy who informed me in advance about the exchange meeting with the leaders of Mahyeon High School.
I went out into the hallway and answered the phone.
“Why did you call me?”
─ Do you have time?
“Doesn’t exist. Gotta prepare for the test, man. What’s going on?”
─ I looked at the list of transfer students for the second semester and there was a kid who looked a little strange.
“Why are you looking at the list of transfer students?”
─ Because the person in charge is next to me. Does it matter?
To transfer to Asung High School, you must pass a difficult transfer test.
In this way, dozens of transfer students came and went every semester.
Unless there was a problem child with a brilliant record of breaking school rules, there was no reason for the leadership team to be interested.
In other words, is the ‘kid who looks a bit strange’ mentioned by Taeho Yoon also a problem child?
“Don’t just throw things away. “I’m busy.”
─ I hate you so much…
Taeho clicked his tongue.
“Tell me, what’s the problem?”
─ Transferring is basically trying to go to a better academy, so you’re trying to upgrade the academy, right?
It’s obvious.
“But?”
─ But do you think it makes sense to come to Aseong High School from Hanyang?
“…”
There is only one place where the expression ‘Hanyang’ is used.
There is only Hanyang Federal Academy.
It is by far the best academy in Neo Seoul.
Coming from a place like that to Aseong High School is a downgrade.
But that didn’t mean I couldn’t understand it.
“Why is that? It could be that you come to be the head of a snake rather than the tail of a dragon.”
─ It didn’t feel like a dragon’s tail. Also, I was deeply moved by the fact that I wrote down my wish to join the military as ‘Seondobu’.
“…”
─ Maybe I’m too sensitive.
Taeho said.
─ Your recent achievements are no joke. I’m sure I’ve made some enemies knowingly or unknowingly, but in the meantime, a transfer student from Hanyang High School who hopes to become a leader at Asung High School arrives… Isn’t it a bit suspicious?
“Just by listening, it seems like an expanded interpretation…”
Taeho is sensitive in this regard.
It is not for nothing that I took the executive position of the Aseong High School student council.
It may seem fussy to someone who doesn’t know anything.
Since I have already experienced the case of Han Seo-jin, it is natural for me to be even more sensitive.
Moreover, since I couldn’t know what stance the headmaster and the troublemakers in Neo Seoul would take when targeting me, the question Taeho raised was a topic worth considering.
“What is your name?”
─ Kim Yeon-hee.
“Hmm?”
─ Do you know?
It looks familiar…
‘Ah.’
It immediately came to mind.
“I’ve seen the name before. “The guy who got Platinum mileage with me last time.”
Definitely.
It was just as Taeho said.
As long as he received platinum mileage, he wasn’t someone who could be considered a dragon’s tail.
In fact, he must have been the best at Hanyang Federal Academy.
It’s suspicious.
─ Looks like he’s not even an acquaintance.
“Uh, I’ve never actually seen it. Anything else suspicious?”
─ I don’t think there is one. Anyway, just know that. Because we don’t want another case like Han Seo-jin to emerge.
“… I got it.”
I hung up the phone.
Kim Yeon-hee.
I accessed the Internet with my smartphone and searched for that name.
If you have received platinum mileage like me, there will be news articles about your activities.
“… Contest?”
Kim Yeon-hee won the grand prize in a large contest hosted by the principal and the federal board of directors and received platinum mileage as the winning prize.
‘Chief principal…’
After finding out that her headmaster was behind her, everything related to her seemed suspicious.
However, it would be meaningless to guess anything here.
Tae-ho may have become so sensitive after going through the Han Seo-jin incident that everything seems suspicious. I didn’t even know I might be like that.
Anyway, let’s reserve judgment.
“Huh?”
Just then, the smartphone vibrated again.
The sender is ‘Vice-Director Oh Baek-seo’.
“Hmm.”
After clearing her throat, she calmly answered the phone.
“Uh, is it white paper?”
─ It is me.
“?”
Why… Can you hear Geumyang’s voice?
─ I was getting out of the shower when I got caught by your friend next door.
She suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
“… Wait. “I’ll be there soon.”
Go back to your seat and pack your luggage.
Get on it!
After running straight to an out-of-sight place.
Damn it!
Created a rift and used space leap.
‘It’s a big deal.’
Geumyang told me not to introduce myself yet, so I was waiting, and because I was busy every day, I was delaying introducing myself to Geumyang.
‘This is how it comes back?’
Did you even get caught coming out of the shower?
My anxiety soared even more because I didn’t know what misunderstanding I might have caused to Baek Seo and what Geumyang might have said.
I arrived in front of the house using space leap several times.
After taking a breath and calming my expression, I immediately opened the front door and went inside.
“Are you here?”
“Welcome.”
Huh?
‘What?’
Hey, why are they sitting facing each other at the living room table… ?
Besides, why are there refreshments and steaming tea on the table?
White Paper got up from his seat and approached me.
“I didn’t know you were coming already. Please give me my bag and clothes. “I’ll leave it in my room.”
“It’s okay, this much…”
When White Paper tried to carry my bag for me as if she were my wife, she refused. Because such actions were still burdensome.
“More than that, what was it that called you on your phone earlier?”
“That girl asked me to borrow my phone, so I lent it to her?”
Baek Seo looked towards Geumyang and answered.
Geumyang was just quietly chewing the snack and looking in this direction.
“How much did you two talk?”
She asked Geumyang.
“I told you everything.”
Most everything?
‘That… ‘You already understood the white paper and moved on?’
There must have been a lot to talk about, and there must have been some that were difficult to accept, right?
“Manager.”
At that time, the white paper called me.
“Isn’t that the one who said earlier that you had someone to introduce you to?”
“Oh, sorry for being late.”
“I see…”
The white paper smiled kindly and tilted his head.
It was only after listening to the following white paper that I realized that the smile was very meaningful.
“Is it true that you hug that kid every day?”
“… Hmm?”
How…
How did you explain it so that it comes out like this?
