“Minho! what! When did you come back here? You were in Korea until just yesterday!”
It seemed like she was still watching my broadcasts regularly. She opened the door and ran towards me and hugged me.
I said as I picked her up and went inside.
“Something happened to me and I came to America, so I came to see your face, Liv.”
“Really? Did you miss me that much? They told me to come back when I grew up… ”
Olivia broke the hug, stepped down into the yard, and suddenly struck a deadly pose. The sight of her leaning forward and cupping her face with her hands was comical, but since she was a beautiful woman, it was quite fitting.
He slowly leaned closer to me, so I laughed and pushed my forehead away.
“It’s true that you have to grow up. You have to go to college to become an adult.”
“Mr. Lee… He seems like an old guy in a strange way.”
Olivia put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks. I pressed Olivia’s plump cheeks to take the air out.
I could see the bracelet I had given her on her wrist, which was placed on her waist. I naturally held her hand and stroked the bracelet as well.
“Are you wearing it well?”
“Of course. This is my lucky charm! Even if you ask for it back, I won’t give it to you.”
“No. Are you really going to take back the gift I already gave you?”
“Right?”
Olivia wasn’t wrong when she said the bracelet was a good luck charm. Thanks to this bracelet, we were able to locate and save Maria when she was not there.
The more she valued the bracelet, the more often she would wear it, so it was a good thing that she cared for it like that.
Seueueuu
I replenished my energy through my fingers touching the bracelet. Chu Jong-hyang’s method was to refill it before it disappeared.
The last time we met, I filled it up so it was still maintained, but I need to do this every time I think of it so that I don’t have a problem when something urgent comes up.
Wow~
As before, a slightly volatile, altered inner energy seeped into the bracelet. This inner energy acted like an air freshener and left traces on Olivia’s movement path, which I sensed through my senses.
I liked it because it was the method introduced in 『Yeonhwa-ro’s Jagak-rok』, and it was more convenient than using any kind of medicine.
In fact, there is no need to change your inner skills since there are no other practitioners in reality, but there is no harm in practicing if you want to use it proficiently even when you go to Tuseonhyeophaengnok.
‘Now that Maria is there, I wonder if there’s a need to use Chu Jong-hyang to track her down, but it’s not that difficult.’
After finishing infusing energy into the bracelet, I asked Maria.
“Anyway, isn’t this the time you should be at school?”
I too would have headed to school to see Olivia if I hadn’t been told by Maria that Olivia was home.
‘It’s daytime on a weekday, so classes will end soon… ‘It’s not time to be home already.’
“Huh? uh… I’m just not in a good mood… ”
After hearing the question, Olivia answered with an uncharacteristically slightly hesitant expression.
“Where does it hurt? Did you catch a cold?”
“Not even a cold… ”
It looked fine on the outside, but you never know. I placed my palm on her forehead and spoke to Maria.
‘Maria. Diagnose.’
Maria reported after quickly scanning Olivia’s condition with her nanobots.
-There is nothing particularly wrong. Is your heart rate a little high?
‘okay?’
If so, it seemed like something had happened with the school.
Olivia, smiling brightly, grabbed my arm and led me home.
“Shall we go inside first? I’ll make you coffee.”
“Then. Are you enjoying the tea I gave you last time?”
The tea I was talking about was the Gunsan silver needle that I had previously gifted.
“Oh, I drink that often. My mom really liked it. Would you like a ride with that?”
“No, just have coffee today. Tell me when you finish drinking. I’ll get you a new one.”
First, Olivia obediently entered the house as she wanted.
She left me seated at the table and busied herself in the kitchen. Looking at the skillful preparation of the cup, it seemed as if he was drinking tea or coffee himself on a regular basis.
After waiting like that for a while, she quickly brought coffee and simple cookies.
We chatted about my broadcast for a while. As I listened to her talk about my broadcast from the perspective of a foreign viewer, there were things that felt new.
“I think the automatic translation function in Glitch is very good. I also learned Korean, but I still feel more comfortable in English because I can understand it naturally. Even jokes and the like are translated really well?”
“I guess they paid attention in that direction because they plan to expand overseas soon.”
“Really? Are you also starting overseas service?”
I answered her questions as if I had heard them from the person involved.
“Yes. I overheard that they were planning to increase the size. Since it has unrivaled technology among streaming services, it won’t be very difficult to enter the market.”
“Then, YouTube will also take a hit. Because there is a live service there too. Not to mention Twatch. I’ll have to tell my dad to sell any related stocks if he has any. Is that okay? Well, what kind of insider trading? Aren’t you going to get caught for something like that?”
“Well, you probably know the law better than me, so it’ll be okay. From what I see, it doesn’t seem to matter because we haven’t even entered the market yet and we are in different countries, right?”
“A lot of foreign streamers will also be moving. Should I start streaming now?”
I nodded, thinking that Olivia could become quite popular. I knew that the SNS she was currently using had a decent number of followers.
“It would be okay to try it if you feel like it. You still use Instagram, right?”
“Ah, no. Instagram is okay because I mainly post photos, but streaming seems to be too much.”
“Is it okay for you to appear as a guest on my broadcast sometimes when I come to the US?”
“I should rather ask Minho for that! This is an opportunity for fans to appear on broadcast.”
As we talked, I noticed that Olivia’s mood had improved again, so I returned to the question from before.
“So, Liv. Is this really okay? If you have any problems at school, tell me. I’ll help you.”
“Well, it’s really not that big of a deal… ”
Olivia hesitated for a moment, then sighed and confessed her feelings.
“Fact… I feel like it’s a bit difficult to get along with my school friends after the last incident.”
“Are you being bullied?”
When I asked in surprise, Olivia seemed even more surprised and waved her hand.
“What? no! Absolutely not! Let me just say, I used to get to know all the students… Now I only hang out with friends I’m really close to. Do you remember Jane, Emily, and Colin, who I also introduced to Minho back then? These days, I just hang out with them.”
“Hmm… ”
“For some reason, I feel distant from the kids at school, except for the friends I was originally close to. That keeps bothering me… ”
‘Maria, just in case, could you please look into things like Olivia’s classmates’ SNS?’
-yes!
Just in case, I quietly instructed Maria.
Maria finished the investigation in an instant. Fortunately, as Olivia said, there seemed to be no such thing as secret bullying.
‘Well, Olivia is an upper-class student who is beautiful and lives well, so there is no reason for her to be bullied. ‘I don’t have a bad personality.’
Then, it wasn’t as serious as Olivia said.
Her friends had not changed from before, all she had to say was that she felt a sense of distance from people who usually just smiled and greeted each other.
I sighed inwardly.
‘Insa is tired. ‘I can’t believe I even skipped school because that feeling was so unfamiliar.’
It was a world I couldn’t understand as I had spent my normal school days.
When I simply looked at human relationships, it seemed like if we changed each other’s lives, neither of us would be able to survive even a day. I was tired and Olivia was bored.
How many people in the world live without missing a single thread of the relationship they met while growing up?
Rather, in my opinion, what was more surprising was that Olivia had been pretending to know all the students.
Looking at her appearance, she was mature, but in a place like this, you could tell she was still young.
I don’t know whether the other friends’ view of Olivia has changed since the accident, or whether Olivia’s view of the school has changed. Even in the United States, high school students’ emotions are likely to be delicate.
‘In some ways, I think this is more likely to be caused by Olivia experiencing two major crises in a short period of time rather than by her friends.’
I guess you could say it’s like a mild symptom of trauma.
I thought she was okay because she looked bright in front of me and didn’t show any signs of distress. But now that I look at it, I think she was also stressed out in her own way because of what had happened.
‘Then I guess I’ll have to help you get over it.’
Although I had no professional knowledge about treating trauma or stress, I knew that it was better to resolve the problem quickly when it was detected.
If possible, it seemed like it would be better to first solve the problem with her friends that she was concerned about right now.
A suitable insider-style prescription came to mind.
“Liv, I think I can help you with that.”
“Really? How about Minho?”
Olivia opened her eyes and looked at me.
They say that the thing that works best for students these days is influencers, and now you don’t have to look far to find one. Now, I am a famous influencer.
