Yoo Soo-ho.

He is in his early 40s, a relatively young person who has reached the position of CEO.

It is true that he was young, as it is said that one usually has to be in his late 50s to gain enough experience to become a CEO.

In the original, he appears in the middle part as a teacher who trains the main character. Of course, he also appears to some extent in the beginning, and I was curious about him because he fell in love with Yoo Seo-ra, who doesn’t interact with anyone, so I greeted him a few times.

Yoo Soo-ho is always pursuing entertainment, or ‘fun’, and is the type of person who wants to try everything he is curious about.

And from what I remember, it was around this time that I was feeling lazy and bored with everything. How bored must I have been that just the fact that Yoo Seo-ra was interacting with someone made Seo Jae-hyeok curious.

‘Honestly, that’s ridiculous.’

Even so, he’s the one who became the chairman, so he keeps watching the kids because they’re in love. It’s really ridiculous, but the reason he does that is because he’s usually so bored. If he’s watching for something other than that, he’s just a pathetic kid.

‘It’s also a scene that was indirectly depicted in the original work.’

What a pitiful person.

First of all, in my original plan, I didn’t plan on meeting the chairman that much. I did plan on getting some guidance and guidance from Jaehyuk Seo during his training in the middle part, but I didn’t plan on meeting him at all in the beginning.

But since the plan has changed, I need to have the connections of the CEO from the beginning.

I feel the need to do that, if only to avoid relying on Yoo Seo-ra. From now on, Yoo Soo-ho will be the hole through which I can escape from her.

‘Do you think that’s all?’

Not only Yoo Soo-ho, but all the original characters who have not yet appeared must be close to me or become my colleagues.

‘Even Yoo Soo-ho died in the original.’

Of course, in Yoo Soo-ho’s case, he didn’t die to Yoo Seo-ra, but since he did die, more people need to watch over him in order to reduce the risk.

That would be one of the ways to greatly guard against Yusera.

“Let me ask you again. Can’t I use the weapon myself?”

First, I will say that what I need most right now is a weapon. Yoo Soo-ho took off the cloak that was covering me.

It felt a little disgusting because I was still in the form of a woman. No, I wanted to turn back into a man.

Anyway, my identity has been revealed.

Contrary to my thoughts, he continued to smile at me in the form of a woman and opened his mouth.

“You knew my personality too.”

Yeah, are you starting to get a little curious about this?

“How did you figure out my personality?”

I knew right away what to say because I had thought about it.

“Let’s find out for ourselves.”

“What?”

I thought about what expression to make for a moment, then showed a bitter smile.

“I want you to find out for yourself, just like me. It would be a shame to just tell you.”

To tell you the truth, I can’t just tell you. If I were to reveal that I’m a possessed person, there would be huge repercussions, and if I’m unlucky, the news would reach Yoo Seora, and I might die. So I have to hide it, but I also feel it’s a shame to simply say that I can’t tell you.

That’s why I proposed a bet that no one in this world could figure out.

“Of course, if I really find out, I will give you a prize.”

Yoo Soo-ho would also find it more fun this way.

Since I’m at an age where I have to get attention somehow, it would be better to push hard even if it’s a little provocative, and I’ve applied for a bet that’s too fun to refuse.

“Ha, are you really that confident?”

“Of course.”

Maybe you’d have to be a god to figure out my identity?

Well, I’m a free spirit.

“Okay. Let’s take a look.”

“Thank you. Then what would you like me to do?”

This is the biggest problem, you know.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll give you a special way to use it yourself.”

“And can I ask you one more thing?”

“One more here?”

I can’t help but feel that it’s a waste to just use the gun myself. It means that my value is only that much. So if I can get more out of it, it’s better to do it, and if that’s the case, it would be a good idea to ask for something more.

“What would you like to ask?”

“It won’t be that difficult. Just watch over me and help me train.”

While training me, Yoo Soo-ho naturally trains Seo Jae-hyeok as well. In order to quickly make me into the Seo Jae-hyeok of the later stages, Yoo Soo-ho’s training is necessary.

If he does that, Seo Jae-hyeok will also be able to escape from Yoo Seo-ra. Yoo Seo-ra is a strong ally, but she is also a wall.

If you do that, you will quickly reach the final boss and see the end.

“Hmm, good. I’ll make it special for you. It’s more fun when you’re generous like this.”

Okay.

As I thought, I had a great colleague named Yoo Soo-ho involved from the beginning. It could have been impossible due to bad luck, but since the meeting happened sooner than in the original anyway, it felt ambiguous to say it was a bad thing, so it didn’t matter.

“Then come after class today. I think you’ll want to make your choice more leisurely.”

“Thank you.”

“Then let’s go out.”

With those words, Yoo Soo-ho and I walked straight to the door.

“Oh, right. Can I just say this one thing?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Please, when we meet again, I want to see you as a man, not as a woman. Honestly, it’s disgusting. A man disguised as a woman.”

I was sincere.

“Is that so? That’s strange. Someone even said ‘possible’ when they saw me.”

Who said that?

At the very least, ignore that kid, he deserves to be taken to a mental hospital.

“Honestly, doesn’t she look like a woman in her mid-20s to anyone? She looks like a pretty older sister, so I think most people would like her.”

“I don’t like it because it’s a man anyway.”

I’m not like other crazy web novel protagonists, you know. I don’t say that’s possible.

No, honestly, even the web novel protagonist says this is a bit…

“Okay, I understand. Then let’s do it differently next time we meet.”

Surely you’re not going to be a different looking woman?

Just be your original self. You look young. You’re so damn handsome. I like innocence the best.

I went out into the hallway with such random thoughts in my mind.

Within a few minutes I was right in my class.

Naturally, Yoo Soo-ho followed me that day. I guess he wanted to see what I was going to do.

“By the way, I didn’t ask this. What’s your relationship with Yu Seo-ra?”

Are you and Yuseo in a relationship?

That was a question I’d heard before, so the answer was really simple.

“Friends.”

At that time, she told me in her will that we were friends, so it was clear. I don’t know what she thinks now, but I still believe that our relationship is that of friends.

“Okay. I understand. Then I will go in.”

“Yes. Goodbye.”

I saw him off with a smile, and Yoo Soo-ho may have seen my smile, but he walked back a little faster.

Is it weird that I’m smiling?

Anyway, thanks to that, my work was done for now, so I opened the door and went into the classroom. Naturally, since quite some time had passed, I could see that some of the students had arrived at school and were inside.

They looked in my direction at the sound of the door, and as soon as they noticed me, they started whispering something.

“Still going.”

“That’s because you didn’t receive proper training. That’s why you keep going without knowing anything.”

“If I had a conscience, I would have dropped out right away.”

“What are you doing here as an ordinary person?”

The voices I had been ignoring were now starting to come to me.

They seem to be dissatisfied with the fact that I go to this academy, and they immediately whisper and curse at me whenever they see me.

When I had a will, I was cursed at for it, and when I didn’t have one, I was cursed at for being abandoned. Especially since I was cursed at by people in the next class, I couldn’t help but listen to it even though I didn’t want to.

These are the things I had no choice but to hear because I entered school without any abilities.

These were the voices that my brother, Yoo Seo-ra, had heard.

‘If I were you, I would just ignore you, but why do you guys keep swearing at me?’

It’s really pathetic.

Is it because I’m a high school student? Honestly, I don’t know.

I just ignored it like I usually do.

I walked to my seat. I could still hear the whispering, but I tried my best to ignore it. It wasn’t like I was going to die anyway, so what did it matter?

If you think about it simply, these are the kids who will suffer because of the second half of the story, but you couldn’t pay this much attention to them.

‘I have to use these guys somehow later.’

I thought it was entirely possible that he would have the connections of a chairman.

Honestly, shouldn’t we use it as a meat shield?

With that in mind, I decided to rest until all classes were over today. I knew I would need to move around a lot starting tomorrow anyway.

As time passed, Lee Joo-hyuk delivered all the news he had to deliver during the roll call.

As a side note, the note that went to Seo Jae-hyeok was not in the class.

“And Kim Seo-jin, follow me.”

huh?

What did I do wrong?

With such doubts in mind, I got up and followed Lee Ju-hyeok. As I walked down the hallway, I kept having doubts.

Lee Joo-hyuk entered the teachers’ office, and only after I entered with him did the guy open his mouth.

“Kim Seo-jin.”

I opened my mouth quietly.

“Yes.”

At my simple words, Lee Joo-hyuk suddenly sighed and continued speaking.

“What happened there?”

“Huh? What does that mean……?”

“Asking what happened when choosing a weapon.”

what?

What did that bastard Yoo Soo-ho say? Did he tell you outright to keep watching?

No, I feel a little burdened.

“Well, if that’s what the chairman said, I can’t say anything other than that there wasn’t anything special…….”

“I realized that the woman there was the CEO.”

No, why is that?

Is there a problem?

“How did you find out? There’s no way for a normal person to find out. When I first met you, I thought you were the same age as me and got really upset because you spoke to me informally. So I’ll ask again. How did you find out?”

It seems that Lee Joo-hyuk was curious about that.

He even tells his own TMI.

“I can’t tell you.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I made a bet with the CEO.”

I said.

“If you’re so curious, ask the chairman later. That’s all I can say.”

Of course, this was something I couldn’t tell Lee Joo-hyuk. If I told him, it would be the same as telling Yoo Soo-ho. It would be nothing more than an act that would lower my value.

Of course, the biggest problem is that if I tell you, you have to let people know that I am a possessed person.

“Okay, if that’s your answer, I understand. Then let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

I turned around and tried to quietly go back to the class.

“Oh, wait a minute. I have more questions for you, Kim Seo-jin.”

Suddenly, Lee Ju-hyuk called me and came towards me.

“Yoo Seo-ra has been acting strange lately. She keeps going to the next class. Do you know something? You’re the only one in our class who’s close to Yoo Seo-ra.”

I guess that was a bit suspicious. It was obvious that someone who usually stayed quiet would keep wandering around. Maybe tomorrow, we’ll find out that he went to meet Seo Jae-hyuk.

I opened my mouth after thinking about what to say for a moment.

“I don’t know either.”

“You too? Okay, I understand. Let’s go in now.”

“Yes, thank you.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I left the teachers’ office. Unlike when I first entered, there were many teachers sitting there, so the formal atmosphere felt heavy. I felt uncomfortable and even uncomfortable with the attention.

After coming out into the hallway, I didn’t go back to my class right away, but went to see Seo Jae-hyeok. I thought I should at least check how he was doing.

Once I went in, I could see Yoo Seo-ra attached to Seo Jae-hyeok.

“Hey, Sera. Can you move away a little bit?”

“Yeah! No!”

“Other kids are watching too, just a little bit…….”

“Do you hate me that much……? Ugh, this is too much.”

“Oh, no! That’s not it! It’s just, that… Ugh, how should I say it?”

Oh, fuck.

I’m going to go back.

When I heard Yoo Seo Ra’s aegyo in real life, I almost threw up. What is that psychopath doing? Acting like some ridiculous aegyo. Can’t he just be his original personality? I don’t feel good inside.

I watched it quietly, and then I felt someone’s gaze and turned my head in my direction.

Seo Jae-hyuk also turned his head to follow suit. At that moment, Seo Jae-hyuk’s expression brightened and he spoke to me.

“Seo Jin-ah……!”

Anyone who saw it could tell that it was a look in his eyes that was begging for his life. It really seemed like it was too much of a burden.

So, as if responding to those eyes, I went into the class.

“Don’t come.”

Yoo Seora said with a cold gaze. A chill ran down my spine for a moment.

Look, what can I do about this?

Should I just go there with the thought that I’ll just give it a try?

I fucking hate that.

So I left the class again without saying anything.

“Okay, wait, Seojin! I need some help with this!”

Seo Jae-hyuk’s loud voice is heard from behind.

If you also come to know the true nature of Yusera, you will understand why I am like this. Perhaps you will even want to apologize.

So just let it go.

I was having such random thoughts.
