As usual, I arrived at the leadership team’s executive office and drank hot coffee.

However, unlike usual, it was not a leisurely morning.

This was because I went to school today while practicing my spatial leap, and my physical strength was greatly reduced.

‘I’m dying.’

It felt like my life was being shortened.

However, when I look back on my past, including my past life, I have never had a successful experience in anything I did without putting my best effort into it. So the only way I could do it was to practice constantly.

“… … .”

As I was looking down at my coffee cup, I remembered seeing White Paper’s naked body yesterday.

‘by the way… Let alone the fact that I behaved in an indecent manner.’

When I fell into White Paper’s shower room, I caught a glimpse of her profile.

There was a picture engraved on his left shoulder.

At that time, the white paper quickly covered the left shoulder.

‘That tattoo… .’

There was a tattoo engraved in my mind that I could immediately figure out what it was just by looking at its location and general color.

It is a skull pattern with fangs sticking out, which is not known to the general public.

‘It’s not even a tattoo. It was the magical imprint of a hunting dog.’

Agent, Hound of the Federal Council.

A secret tattoo of the elite unit, ‘Spartoy’, meaning ‘dragon soldiers’.

To be exact, it was not a tattoo, but a type of magic imprint that appeared as a proof of Spartoi.

It was something I saw in the game.

‘It’s not a coincidence.’

It was too elaborate and exquisite to be a coincidence.

‘I understand this and that. Why does White Paper have such excellent fighting sense?’

Assuming that White Paper was once a hunting dog, the questions I had while preparing for the midterm exam with her last time are resolved. The question was, ‘Why is White Paper so skilled in combat techniques?’

Spartoy are essential people in Neo Seoul. Because you carry out black ops in the backworld and protect the city.

It is known that the intensity of training is at an extreme level.

It is natural to receive intensive training in combat skills.

‘at last… , Why is the white paper here?’

As a Spartoi, for what purpose did you infiltrate Asung High School?

Or did he quit Spartoy and lead a normal academy life?

‘Probably the latter.’

If White Paper had infiltrated Aseong High School with some secret purpose, he would have tried to keep a certain distance from people.

However, White Paper built a close relationship with me, and even took the bold step of moving next door to me.

There was no possibility that the target was me.

Until last year, I had never really stood out.

He was an extra A with no reason to be targeted by anyone.

‘There is a past where white paper was a Spartoy, and now you may want to hide that past.’

Of course, there were not enough clues to make a clear decision.

but.

‘first… ‘It’s better to pretend not to know.’

I didn’t want to do anything that would reveal the past that White Paper might not want to bring up.

Moreover, the reason why Han Seo-jin came to monitor Baek Seo, and the reason why Baek Seo later disappeared, may all be related to Baek Seo’s past as a Spartoy.

I wanted to approach it cautiously, gathering clues as secretly as possible until I could properly understand the context.

‘That too.’

I leaned back in my chair and looked up at the ceiling.

‘How are you treating the white paper today?’

The task at hand was also problematic.

When you look at the white paper, you will definitely remember what happened yesterday.

The same goes for the white paper.

‘I’m just glad they don’t think of me as someone who’s going to kill me… .’

My head became confused.

‘Let’s take a shower first.’

Today’s first period was a participation class, so I had to go to the classroom.

It would be better to take a shower before that.

When the time was right, I got up and headed for the door.

As I reached for the door handle, the broken door suddenly opened.

“Ah.”

Beyond the open door, I made eye contact with Oh Baek-seo.

He stopped breathing for a moment, but quickly calmed his expression.

“… Welcome.”

“Yes, good morning.”

I greeted him as usual, but for some reason there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

“Are you leaving already?”

White Paper had his usual kind smile on his face.

“I’m going to take a shower and go since I have a class to participate in during the first period. I sweated a bit while practicing my unique ability.”

“I see. Go carefully.”

White Paper quickly looked away from me, walked over, and sat down on the sofa. For some reason, the quick steps that seemed to be avoiding him stood out.

It was like a movement of citizens evacuating during a disaster.

‘What is this distance…? ?’

My body suddenly stiffened and cold sweat broke out.

I feel an unknown distance… .

… …

‘Obviously, he’s avoiding me… !’

For the next few days, the White Paper treated me ‘only’ in a businesslike manner.

I tried to change the mood, but it was no use.

Even if I brought up a slightly personal topic, Baekseo calmly answered with a smile and ended the conversation.

No matter what was said, it turned into a business-like conversation.

‘Are you not angry?’

My mistake was big… .

It was a situation that could have caused trauma to one person.

No matter how perfect a white paper may seem, it is not necessarily superhuman. I may have been hurt knowingly or unknowingly due to my mistake.

Moreover, during the shower room incident, I couldn’t even reply to White Paper’s joke properly.

In fact, I might have been the one who created this awkward atmosphere.

‘What do we do… ?’

How can I free White Paper’s heart?

On an evening filled with the glow of the sunset, I thought hard while doing my work in the clubroom.

I’ve already given White Paper snacks he might like several times, given him personal compliments that I wouldn’t normally give him, or tried all sorts of different things.

However, the white paper still did not treat me as comfortably as before. Rather, he just tried to keep his distance from me by avoiding my eyes. Do I really have to say that he seems to be treating me like a company boss?

‘Now that things have come to this, I have the ‘Ahn Woo-jin usage right’… . No, that’s not it.’

He shook his head and withdrew the ‘Ahn Woo-jin usage rights’ case.

‘It’s just a matter of following the white paper.’

In the first place, I thought it would be too cringy if I did that.

I missed the dirty jokes Baek Seo would occasionally tell. Please make a joke… .

While I was holding my head and groaning.

“Huuuu… .”

“?”

Suddenly, White Paper let out a long, very long sigh.

Put your hand on your chest and close your eyes… , very puffy.

It was a sigh that was very consistent with the expression that the earth is sighing.

“It is done.”

“What?”

What?

“It’s finally done.”

“So what… ?”

The white paper turned its head towards me and smiled meaningfully. Her face became bright as she received the sunset light outside the window.

“Manager, would you like to come over here for a moment?”

“Hmm?”

Although I was skeptical, I approached the white paper.

Slurp. I sat down next to White Paper.

“Come here.”

“?”

Sigh. White Paper’s hand gently touched my head and pulled me towards him.

Just like that, my cheek touched the soft thigh of the white paper.

“Right, good.”

“… … ?”

Suddenly, White Paper laid me down on his thighs and started stroking my hair.

‘What is this… ‘It’s a situation, right?’

My mind was spinning in confusion.

As I looked away, I saw a white paper looking down at me with a happy face.

It was unexpected, but it was a superb view.

“… What are you doing?”

After only dealing with me in a business-like manner for a few days, I was embarrassed to suddenly show such active behavior.

“I am carrying out my duties as the head of the department.”

A knee pillow?

I opened my eyes and looked at the white paper.

“This is something only lovers would do. As a leader, we must avoid… . Rather, what if someone suddenly comes in?”

“I don’t care?”

It did.

He said this didn’t matter… .

Contrary to what I said, it was difficult for me to get up.

The white paper thigh pillow and soft touch seemed to suck me in like a black hole.

‘It’s already past school dismissal time anyway, and it’s not time for anyone to come visit us… .’

Wasn’t this the moment when White Paper, which had been so businesslike, finally opened my heart to me again?

I couldn’t let this moment go to waste.

So I rationalized myself and accepted the healing that the white paper gave me.

“Manager, you haven’t slept much lately, have you?”

“Hmm?”

“Dark circles have come down a lot.”

White Paper said, pointing under his eyes with his free hand.

I tried my best to look like an iron man, but I couldn’t hide the shadows in my eyes, which were a natural phenomenon on my body.

In the first place, it was pointless to pretend to the vice-president by saying, ‘I’m not going to give in’ due to the work intensity issue. Because our work is closely related.

It would be okay to be honest about this part.

“What… , there was no time to rest. Final exams are coming soon.”

Studying for final exams.

Leading manager duties.

Handling the Han Seo-jin incident.

Training of unique abilities.

I had no stamina left every day, and I could barely secure any sleep time.

However, I couldn’t help it.

Now was the time to run no matter how difficult it was.

We have to deal with the leader and catch the remaining six criminals.

If the principal is targeting me, I have to fight back.

Even on that mysterious day when White Paper disappears, I had to protect this child.

“Yes. Our manager, it must be difficult.”

White Paper whispered sweetly in an intimate tone and continued to stroke my hair.

Perhaps because so many white papers have been drawing lines these days, this moment felt very dramatic.

It’s not just a dirty joke or a prank… .

Because it seemed like he was showering affection on me as he had not treated me well in the past.

‘ah… , healed.’

It is a natural process for my heart to melt.

I had to have a lot of trouble managing my facial expressions.

“Still, I finished all the important work.”

“What?”

“You’ve been working all week, right? The manager was also very busy… . So, I tried to ease the burden on the manager as much as possible. Did I do well?”

A white paper smiling as if asking for a compliment.

They were so busy with the ‘jobs they had to do’ that were right in front of them that they couldn’t pay enough attention to the work being done by executives.

However, considering that all the approval documents that White Paper uploaded to me after completing the work were perfect.

The white paper did not use the expression ‘as much as possible’ for nothing.

“ When you said ‘it’s done’, did you mean that you did everything worth doing?”

White Paper shook his head.

“Then?”

“Well… . Why?”

?

White Paper tilted his head and smiled slyly, as if he didn’t know why.

Still, he stroked my hair without stopping.

“… … .”

I’m the type of person who has a quick sense of insight.

I felt like I could figure it out if I thought about it a little bit.

Apparently, the incident where I fell into the shower room put a lot of pressure on White Paper.

It seemed like he needed time to compose himself to treat me like normal again. The white paper also took its own effort.

“Is that so.”

As expected, I can’t live without this kid anymore.

“It’s a white paper.”

“Yes.”

“Surely, you are dependable.”

I expressed my honest sincerity to the white paper.

White Paper grinned.

“Thank goodness. I feel like I have now become someone worthy of the manager’s trust.”

I immediately realized why he said that.

Until now, the part that dealt with game knowledge had never been explained even to the white paper.

Maybe that’s why I thought that I still didn’t have full trust in you.

“That’s… .”

I couldn’t tell you about that part.

I just hope that the quick-witted white paper realizes my sincerity.

“Me too.”

White Paper interrupted me and said:

“The manager is dependable.”

A warm and kind tone filled my ears.

Why is there heat rising to my head?

‘Something is creepy…’ .’

Let’s stop talking about this at this point.

My hands and feet seemed to tremble, perhaps because I had revealed my heart-warming truth.

‘I’m suddenly sleepy.’

Is it because I was relieved?

Slowly, sleepiness came over me.

Maybe it was because I had been so nervous lately that I couldn’t sleep well, but the drowsiness was quite unbearable.

‘I should at least take a nap.’

I gently pushed the hand of the white paper that was stroking my head with my finger.

“Thank you. Enough is enough. I need to sleep a little… .”

“It’s okay to sleep like this.”

As if it was obvious, the answer came as expected.

Although I am very satisfied with the current situation, it was not something that should be left hanging in heaven.

“If I do that, I don’t think I’ll be able to get up… .”

Rattling!

“A wild Hayesong has appeared! … Huh?”

The door to the leadership team’s executive room opened and Ha Yesong appeared.

I was already standing and stretching after sticking out like a spring from the white paper’s thigh. I was able to react quickly because I heard footsteps right before the door opened.

Meanwhile, Baek Seo smiled kindly at Yesong.

“ Manager, why are you stretching all of a sudden?”

“Ah, is it Yesong? I was sore so I was relaxing a bit.”

“Aha. That’s a good habit! If you stretch occasionally while sitting still while working, it will help improve blood circulation! Very good! That’s me, Ha Yesong, I tend to do that often too!”

whatever.

“But what’s going on? At this time?”

“I left my snacks behind! It’s here. You were safe, Double Special Tiramisu Kun!”

Yesong took out a box containing two pieces of tiramisu cake from the stale refrigerator and put it in the paper bag he had brought with him in advance.

“Then I’ll just go! White Paper See you tomorrow too!”

“Take care.”

Yesong saluted me and left the club like the wind.

“… I’m fully awake.”

“Hehe.”

White Paper listened to what I said, covered his mouth with his clenched fist and laughed heartily.

After that day.

Thanks to White Paper’s hard work, I have more free time at work.

Leadership executive office.

Secretary Park Min-hyuk worked on a laptop while hiding in a cabinet, and Ha Yesong, in charge of disorderly conduct, ate snacks while chatting about food, and took a nap on the sofa with a book on accounting guidance on his face.

and.

“Manager, are you having dirty thoughts again?”

“Is that so… . I have some things to think about regarding the supervision of final exams.”

White Paper served coffee as usual, made the usual joke, and smiled gently.

I returned to the daily life I knew.
