    [“My name is Ignis. Steelheart, I’ve come to see you.”]

    After saying my lines and ending the cookie video, the movie ended completely.

    We spent some time joking around with each other while waiting for people to leave first.

    A childish prank of holding hands and pretending to sit quietly while tickling each other’s palms.

    Janey’s face seemed cold and expressionless at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, I could tell that the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up.

    Not only I, but also Janey, are superhumans with special abilities. However, no matter how superhuman he was, he did not always like battles full of adrenaline.

    In particular, because the travel destination where Janey lived was so desolate, there were times when the childishness of daily life was better than something too stimulating.

    “Shall we go out soon?”

    “Okay.”

    We got up from our seats after seeing the theater becoming quieter. And I used the key to find a corner where people weren’t passing by and there was no CCTV.

    Clap~

    “Where am I?”

    The place we moved to was an alley in Seoul.

    Janey, who had crossed the space, tilted her head. I thought I would go home right away, but I looked puzzled when I found myself in a deserted alley.

    I looked at her and smiled.

    “You really thought it was the end after just watching the movie? Since we’re here for a date, let’s take a look around Seoul before heading back in.”

    “I’m fine… ”

    Janey gave strength to the hand she was holding and looked at me. His actions showed that he was worried that he might be bothering me.

    “It’s because I want to do it. There is nothing more fun than showing off your country to foreigners. If Janey has fun watching it, I think it will be nice and full of soup. What do you think?”

    “… okay. If Minho says so, I guess I can wander around for a day. Have you already decided where to go?”

    “Don’t worry. The foreign tourist route is obvious.”

    The corner of her mouth went up a little more at the playful remark.

    It’s been quite a while since she came out to reality.

    In the meantime, he said he wanted to help me by working for Awaken, and he also appeared on my broadcast as a team member. Now that she has adapted to electronic devices and the Internet, she has a reasonably good grasp of reality.

    But there was something that Janey would never do alone…

    That’s just going out.

    Although I told her that she would be bored without Awaken doing anything while I was broadcasting at home, so she could roam around freely, she rarely left the door alone, except near the house.

    Awaken’s job didn’t necessarily require going out since it was possible to work from home, and since all my co-workers were androids, it must have been different from working at a real workplace.

    That’s why I take Janey out every chance I get.

    ‘Oops, is this discrimination against Android?’

    -What’s new… Does your master do this once or twice?

    Maria grumbled quietly. She now knows that I treat the Awakens more kindly than before. Before we became colleagues, we treated each other like tin bastards, but now we help each other.

    He just enjoys teasing me.

    In any case, no matter how much knowledge I gained about reality and how I accessed the world through the Internet, I was still unable to experience it in person. In particular, the places I took her to were places near her home or, like this time, places very far away, such as the United States.

    Actually, I haven’t been able to show you Seoul, Korea, where I live.

    I held her hand and led her out of the alley.

    “Seeing is better than hearing. Today I consider myself a guide.”

    The place we arrived at using the key was an alley near Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. As I left the alley, the first thing I saw was the huge crowd of people and cars filling the road.

    If it weren’t for Maria’s assistance, the crowd was such that it would never have been possible to find the blind alley.

    “If you come to Gwanghwamun, you must see Gyeongbokgung Palace.”

    The first place we headed to while holding her hand was Gyeongbokgung Palace.

    It was a public place for anyone to see the old palace, but I had never been here before this date. Although I confidently offered to guide Janey, it was actually my first time entering Gyeongbokgung Palace.

    Still, I was able to imitate the guide through the knowledge I picked up here and there, the leaflets I received at the entrance, and the information boards installed at each point.

    “What are you doing here?”

    “Uh, here… It was a place where important national events were held. It is connected to Gwanghwamun, the main gate, in a straight line… … .”

    When Janey asked a question about something I didn’t know, I cheated with Maria Chance.

    Janey seemed to have noticed this as well, but she didn’t show it and asked the question with a subtle smile.

    She seemed to quite like the look of the exotic palace. The way his eyes lit up as he examined every nook and cranny of the palace seemed to be a remnant of his habits from when he was working as an agent rather than simply being interested in the architectural style.

    But at least the interest she felt in seeing tourists walking around wearing hanbok was real.

    “Do you want to try wearing Hanbok?”

    I asked Janey, who was looking at the tourists blankly.

    “I’m curious because they say it’s the traditional clothing of Minho’s country.”

    “Then should we go out and rent it again?”

    “Not now, next time. Next time I come back, I will buy it.”

    Janey’s eyes were shining brighter than before as she looked up at me while saying that.

    “Is this an after-sale application? That’s what it sounds like to me.”

    “Really… Let’s say so.”

    Janey laughed as if it was ridiculous. I can’t stop playing pranks, even if it’s because I want to see this kind of reaction.

    When she was working on Awaken, she became stiff as if she had gone back to her agent days, but when she was with me, she relaxed a lot.

    I put my shoulder close to her.

    “Yes. It would be a sight worth seeing even if you came in any other season. At that time, instead of renting it, it will be custom-made and brought to you.”

    She nods her head quietly.

    We left Gyeongbokgung Palace and continued our date.

    As I walked through the nearby Hanok village, I was amazed that houses like this still exist, and I went into a famous bookstore on the street to look at books. Janey’s kingdom was a place where censorship was common, so she was unable to come to her senses from the overwhelming smell of books and paper filling her field of vision.

    Then, I went into a small teahouse nearby and spent some time drinking tea, and when it got dark, I walked along the illuminated Cheonggyecheon and returned to Gwanghwamun Square.

    When walking along Cheonggyecheon, Janey’s blue hair and beautiful appearance attracted a little attention from those around her, but fortunately, no one secretly took pictures.

    If it was a sunny day and I was wearing light clothes, I might have taken a picture thinking I was a celebrity.

    After seeing Janey and the statue of King Sejong, we were about to go home.

    I noticed that people were unnaturally gathered in one corner of the square.

    Seonggwan Kim was one of the members of an amateur dance team called Urban Motion. Urban Motion, which he belonged to, mainly uploaded dance cover videos of idols and pop singers on YouTube, and had tens of thousands of subscribers, making it well-known among amateur dance teams.

    But he couldn’t even practice his usual dance and was tearing out his own hair.

    “Ha… Why on earth did I leave a comment like that? ”

    I could see why he was grumbling alone like this by looking at his smartphone screen.

    -If it is true that Lee Min-ho plays the real hero, I will dance Zero Two in Gwanghwamun wearing only panties.

    ㄴThen I eat grilled pork belly next to him.

    ㄴThen I sing next to him and spit on the tambourine.

    This comment was posted in the past when public opinion briefly circulated about whether Lee Min-ho was playing the role of Ignis.

    It was a comment I made because I thought it was absolutely impossible at the time.

    But when the results came out, I realized that what I thought was absolutely impossible actually happened. From his perspective, he felt as if he had been scammed.

    Of course, it didn’t matter if I just deleted the comment or pretended not to notice. After all, it’s an anonymous bulletin board, and not many people would really want to see a grown man doing the Zero Two dance wearing only underwear.

    ‘It was even a comment on a completely different post other than the Sungji post that speculated that Lee Min-ho would play the role of Ignis… ‘

    People say things a lot with harsh words, but they never actually put those words into action.

    But the problem is that he also made a rant to his fellow Urban Motion team members.

    And as a fan of Nexus Studios, I really liked Ignis in this movie.

    In addition, learning more about Lee Min-ho’s activities also played a role.

    I didn’t know much about Lee Min-ho before. However, when I started searching about him after appearing in this movie, I felt ashamed of myself for making such a comment without knowing much about him.

    ‘Who would have thought that such a person actually existed?’

    Even if someone had explained it at the time, Lee Min-ho’s biggest fans would probably have thought he was lying.

    So now, this has become a matter of Kim Seong-kwan’s personal conscience, rather than someone forcing him to do it.

    Of course, he was also bothered by the fact that other members of the team made fun of him and called him Panty Zero Two every time they saw him.

    ‘Ha, yes. panties… ‘I guess I should just dance.’

    Eventually, he went to the bulletin board and wrote a new post using the ID that had left the comment.

    [In the past, Lee Min-ho is the person who said that if he was an Ignis, he would dance Zero Two in Gwanghwamun wearing only underwear]

    Since I said something, I will keep my promise…

    You may be arrested for indecency during a performance, so please keep your panties on.

    Instead, I will dance properly
