Chapter 132: Nuclear explosion

The nuclear warhead stealthily approached the viewers.

『What is this? What about arresting the culprit?』

It began with Kim Yuhan’s bewildered question.

At this moment, the chat activity of those watching the tvS channel on their PCs was like a battlefield.

• What do you mean what ㅋㅋ He came to save you ㅋㅋ

• Kya hahahahahahahaha

• Save him! Save him! Definitely save him!!!

『…!』

Kim Yuhan shot up from his seat.

『Could it be…?』

He then tightly gripped Lee Kang-cheol’s collar.

『…Are you crazy? Giving up on that criminal?』

『I just put it on hold for a moment.』

『On hold? What do you mean, on hold!』

Kim Yuhan was so dumbfounded he could barely speak.

『We might never catch him now! He’ll be twice as careful next time! How could you let go of a lead we barely caught!』

『….』

『Didn’t you always emphasize principles? Saying we must adhere to principles no matter what? But what have you done now? You let a captured criminal go! You threw away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!』

• Kim Yuhan getting angry is sexy

• Isn’t this the first time he’s genuinely angry?

• It’s different from when he fakes anger; acting detail;

• Lee Sua’s acting is beyond rookie level

Suddenly, Lee Kang-cheol’s fist tensed.

Thwack─!

A heavy thud.

Kim Yuhan’s head snapped to the side as he fell on his butt.
Lee Kang-cheol had punched him in the face.

• Don’t hit our Yuhan!!!

• No no no Lee Kang-cheol has the right to hit him

• That’s right Yuhan, calm down first!!

• Lee Kang-cheol came for you!!!

『Principles. Yes, principles are important.』

Lee Kang-cheol said, looking down at Kim Yuhan.

『That’s why I, too, upheld a principle this time.』

『Such absurd nonsense….』

『Team 808’s Zeroth Principle, which I’ve never mentioned before. I’ll tell you what it is. Listen carefully and remember.』

Lee Kang-cheol cut Kim Yuhan off.

『No arrest takes precedence over a partner’s life. Understand?』

• Kyaaaaaaaaah

• This is crazyyyyyyyyyy

• Kang-cheol oppa ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

• Lee Kang-cheol! Lee Kang-cheol! Lee Kang-cheol!

• Lee Kang-cheol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

『….』

A moment of silence.

『Zeroth Principle? A principle that doesn’t even exist….』

『And it is indeed on hold.』

Lee Kang-cheol said, now with a slight smile.

『Eventually, we’ll be able to catch him. No matter how crazy he is, he can’t be as crazy as you. Right?』

• Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

• Why am I crying over this ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

• You both really went through a lot!!!!

• My soul can finally ascend….

• These two are finally mixing well hahaha

• We suffered watching too ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

• I was on edge all week ㅠ

Before long, they both burst into laughter simultaneously.

『…You know what? Sunbae, you’re not sane either.』

『To hear that from you.』

And then.

Tap….

The sensation of something lightly tapping on his head.

Tap…. Pitter-patter….

He looked up to see something coolly tapping his forehead.

Rain had begun to fall.

Quite heavily, at that.

Before long, it was pouring down.

Whooooooosh─

Now that the whole world was starting to get wet.

『Kim Yuhan.』

『Yes.』

『Let’s return. It’s time to report our failure.』

• This is truly the drama of my life

• It’s been a while since I felt my time wasn’t wasted….

• Other dramas should watch and learn

• FR, they’re all just sensationalist

• Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Just make it 100 episodes

Regardless of the site, a heartwarming atmosphere continued.

All the viewers had their hunger satiated.

Perhaps that was why no one wished for anything more at this moment, and thus, they let their guard down.

An opening for a fatal blow had appeared.

Weeeeeeeooooooo─!

Just then, a fire truck siren wailed.

『…!』

Lee Kang-cheol’s eyes widened.

Finally, when the headlights of the fire trucks that had rushed through the darkness illuminated a scene previously unseen.

• This is truly the drama of my life

• It’s been a while since I felt my time wasn’t wasted….

• Other dramas should watch and learn

• FR, they’re all just sensationalist

• Ah ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Just make it 100 episodes

It wasn’t that the same chats appeared once more.

However, as if time had stopped, the chat window also froze.

It wasn’t that numerous people had miraculously taken their hands off their keyboards at the same time.

It was just that no matter how frantically they typed, they couldn’t share their reactions.

It was impossible.

[ ! Chat connection failed ]

This was a phenomenon witnessed by all viewers.

Only the chat window had stopped; the drama continued.

『Kim Yuhan…?』

Lee Kang-cheol’s expression, as if he finally understood.

It was the same for the viewers.

The puzzle pieces that had remained as questions in their minds began to fit together.

Lee Kang-cheol and Kim Yuhan had never once shared a locker room.

Moreover, the androgynous voice that had been mentioned multiple times, along with the facial features that often gave a peculiar impression.

Now that the chat window had exploded.

『You…?』

Whoooooosh─

In that scene where rain still poured down.

『Shhh.』

Kim Yuhan.

No, Sua quietly placed her index finger on her lips.

『This is a secret.』

It was then that the chat window was restored.

• ?

• ?????

• ? ??? ???

• Wh-/???

• Eh-??????

• /????/????

• ???? ?? ? ?

• ??? ? ?? ??

Like a sewer backflow, the backed-up chats surged at a speed never experienced before.

It even looked like the massive body of a dragon writhing as it ascended.

This, of course, was not limited to the chat window.

A nuclear bomb had dropped, and all the viewers scattered across Korea were hit.

It was a mere moment before everyone, as if they had coordinated beforehand, let out the same scream.

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

“Eeeeeeeh?”

“Wha-what is that?”

“Kim Yuhan! That Kim Yuhan is…!”

At some point, someone shouted.

“It’s Lee Sua─!”

Two hours after episode 8 aired.

A black van pulled up in front of Seo Yeon-ju’s mansion.

However, besides Seo Yeon-ju, one more person got out; it was none other than Sua.

Yeon-ju had invited her to her house to celebrate the airing of episode 8, and Sua had no reason to refuse.

‘If it were before, I would have refused for the sake of image management….’

‘Now, she truly feels like a real older sister.’

Besides, Sua had actually wanted this invitation more.

Thump, thump, thump!

It was because she couldn’t control her wildly beating heart.

It felt like it would really burst.

She needed someone by her side.

‘What do I do? My identity has been revealed! For real!’

To say her mind was unsettled was an understatement.

It bounced around erratically like a bouncy ball.

What would people’s reactions be?

It should be a pleasant twist.

Her head was boiling.

“Sua.”

It was then that Kim Yi-seo spoke to her.

The CEO, with two large hairpins in her bangs, was looking at Sua through the still-open van door, her gaze profound.

“Episode 8 has aired. How do you feel?”

“Well….”

Sua thought.

But no matter how many times she thought about it.

“…I don’t know.”

She couldn’t tell.

It was strange, and at the same time, it didn’t feel real.

Perhaps it was because she hadn’t experienced anything physically yet.

After all, Sua had moved directly by van after the special screening.

Her phone had been ringing like crazy, and though she could have looked at it midway, she didn’t.

Maybe Sua didn’t have the courage to face it yet.

She was too nervous.

Meanwhile, the corners of Kim Yi-seo’s lips visibly rose.

As if she knew exactly what was going to happen.

“Sua, do you remember our first meeting?”

“Our first meeting, you say.”

“I told you, didn’t I? That Sua has her own unique scent.”

Sua then remembered.

She had first encountered Mystic Entertainment inside the van, and Kim Yi-seo had discussed Sua’s unique scent.

“Only one thing is different between then and now.”

“What are you referring to?”

“Now, the entire nation has smelled Sua’s scent.”

Sua’s lips twitched, wanting to ask.

‘What was their reaction to smelling that scent?’

But she didn’t have the confidence to hear the answer.

‘Why am I like this, Sua, like a girl experiencing her first love.’

‘Of course, it’s not like I’ve ever been in love for the first time!’

Kim Yi-seo glanced at her phone and then said.

“Make sure to get a good night’s sleep today.”

“Yes.”

Sua nodded with a blank expression, but honestly, she wasn’t confident.

‘She wondered if she’d end up having a staring contest with the ceiling all night.’

“Because when you open your eyes again, the world will have changed.”

With those words, Kim Yi-seo departed, and Sua suddenly remembered.

The CEO had never once lied to her.

---

Surprisingly, Sua didn’t go straight into the mansion.

Clack─!

Instead, she flung open the door of a convenience store.

‘It was such a sudden appointment, I couldn’t pack anything!’

The reason was singular.

She was going to buy disposable underwear.

‘Sleeping at someone else’s mansion without washing up wouldn’t be right, would it?’

She didn’t want to wear the same underwear again after bathing.

‘It would feel damp and uncomfortable.’

But at the same time, Sua wasn’t brave enough to borrow Seo Yeon-ju’s underwear.

‘…No, come to think of it, our sizes are very different too.’

‘Yes. Buying some is definitely the right thing to do.’

Sua quickly paid.

She didn’t even look at the price.

‘She could now afford to buy out a convenience store. Sua-the-rich!’

‘Sua-luxury! Sua-splendor!’

Afterward, as she tried to quickly leave the convenience store, a very minor problem arose.

Just as Sua was about to exit, a group of people was trying to enter.

Clunk!

The door got stuck.

Because when Sua pushed, the people on the other side also pushed, and by the time Sua belatedly pulled, they also pulled.

It’s embarrassing, but it’s something that happens surprisingly often in life.

Just as Sua, feeling awkward, stepped back.

A strange thing happened.

The group outside the convenience store didn’t enter.

They just stood frozen, their eyes nearly tripling in size.

A moment later, their mouths dropped open as if their jaws would fall off.

“Huh? Huh-huh-huh-huh?”

“Hey, hey! This! Ah, no, this person!”

The shouts of a few people were the beginning.

“It’s Kim Yuhan!”

“Lee Sua─!”

“Lee Sua! It’s Lee Sua!”

They couldn’t even come inside and were just jumping around excitedly.

It was as if the items they had originally intended to buy were nothing compared to discovering Sua’s presence.

“Sua! It’s Ms. Sua, right? It has to be Ms. Sua!”

It was the moment strangers recognized Sua.

Recognition.

Kim Yi-seo was wrong.

There was no need to wait until morning.

Sua was already feeling with her whole body that the world had changed.
