I quietly entered the chatroom and checked the ssages.
Before I opened it, it showed 300, but at a glance, there were over 500 unread ssages.
Since this was a private chat between and Go Minji, that ant she had been talking to herself the entire ti... and the 392 missed calls? That was borderline terrifying.
‘Now that I think about it, Go Minji does have an obsessive streak.’
Well, yeah.
That level of obsession is exactly why she ended up kidnapping and imprisoning Go Muyeol in the original story.
‘I shouldn’t ss with her too much.’
I decided to adjust my teasing accordingly as I skimd through the ssages.
Fortunately, there was nothing too serious.
The usual string of insults, a spam of middle fingers, and the classic "Just you wait" threats.
Since nothing had happened to so far, it was probably sothing she blurted out in the heat of the mont or she was planning sothing bigger. If it was the latter, then things might actually get scary.
I should probably smooth things over now.
- Hey.
I cautiously sent a ssage.
Normally, she would’ve responded instantly, but there was no read receipt.
“Huh. Did I push too far?”
I sent a few more.
- Hey.
- Noona.
- Sis.
No response.
No read receipt either.
I couldn’t just sit here waiting all day, so I decided to go about my business and check back later.
Her reply ca about an hour later.
- You have insulted .
A short sentence.
Sothing that sounded straight out of a movie.
- Noona.
- What do you an, insulted?
- I would never dare.
- LOL
- You sing so well.
- You should go on TV
- And sing for the entire nation.
- Maybe even release an album?
- I’ll invest in you.
- LOL.
Go Minji was mocking hard.
But considering I ghosted her for 500 ssages and ignored 400 calls, this was actually a mild reaction.
Of course, this could just be the calm before the storm.
- Go Hayan and Go Seonyul
- Even if those two bitches
- Have to bulk-buy everything
- I’ll make sure your album sells out.
- So don’t worry. 😊
- Then how about we collaborate, noona?
- You can do backup vocals.
- LMAO.
Go Minji cracked up before responding.
- Are you insane?
- Are you asking to die?
- You’ll pay dearly
- For insulting .
- Just wait and see.
- Tremble in fear.
- I’m sorry, noona.
- It was just a joke.
- 🖕
She left with that middle finger and went silent.
She didn’t answer calls, and even when I pinged her in the group chat, she didn’t show up.
“Hmm.”
Yeah, I was definitely screwed.
I just had no clue how she was going to screw over, which made it even worse.
I posted in the group chat.
There was a chance Go Minji would see it, but whatever.
Maybe she’d even appreciate that I was trying to fix things.
Go Hayan: Don’t worry too much. She’s always been petty. She picks fights first, gets mad first, sulks first, and then forgives herself first.
Go Hayan: She’s not worth wasting your concern on.
Go Hayan: Instead of wasting ti on her, I’d rather you focus on RK-77’s distribution. You visited the Pyongyang factory recently, right? Can we talk about that? The execs need to be in sync before we et in person. If we set things up beforehand, it'll be much more efficient.
Go Seonyul: et... in person?
Go Seonyul: You two are eting?
Go Hayan: Yeah.
Go Hayan: We have business to discuss. We’re eting soon.
It was actually this Saturday, just a few days away.
But she didn’t specify the exact date.
Go Seonyul didn’t press further.
Go Seonyul: I also...
Go Seonyul: am going to the art museum with Muyeol.
Go Seonyul: Now that I think about it, it could tie into business.
Go Seonyul: Muyeol mostly handles entertainnt ventures.
Go Seonyul: If we connect that with our artists, it could create synergy.
Go Hayan: Sure, do whatever.
Go Hayan: Anyway, I just think we should discuss things first.
I agreed.
RK-77 had to be properly launched, and the next RK series needed a smooth rollout.
That way, by the ti RK-99 hit the market, the risks would be minimized.
- I’ll call you.
I quickly accepted and called Go Hayan.
She was chattier than usual.
You know those pointless small talks? Yeah, she did a lot of that before getting to the main topic.
And even when she did, it didn’t feel like the actual main topic.
After a long call, I suddenly got a text from Go Minji.
- Judgnt Day.
“?”
That was it.
Just those two words.
I checked to see if she sent anything else.
Nothing.
Just that one ominous ssage.
“...What the hell is she planning?”
Damn.
Go Minji is really not easy to handle.
January 16, 2077, Saturday
The grand day had arrived.
The day I was going on a super yacht date with Go Hayan.
Well, technically, it was a business eting, but you never know what could happen, right?
Especially when it's a Go family matter.
And besides, we were eting on a yacht. Having a conversation inside such a grandiose setting... things could take a turn.
"Not to ntion, it’s a three-day, two-night schedule."
It wasn't just a one-day thing.
Go Hayan was bringing along her jewelry team, and I had my RK-related personnel. We were set to have intense discussions and etings aboard the super yacht for three days and two nights.
Go Hayan and I were the final decision-makers, so we had to be present on-site.
Naturally, the yacht wouldn’t just be sitting still.
For the next three days, it would sail down the West Sea of Korea, then return to my island.
Not that it held any particular significance—it just felt like a waste to let a yacht sit idle.
I an, it's a yacht. It belongs on the ocean. If it wasn’t moving, it might as well just be a floating mansion.
"Hmm, is this good enough?"
Since I was eting Go Hayan, I put extra effort into my appearance.
Go Hayan liked things neat, clean, elegant, and refined—all that classy stuff. So I had to match the vibe, from my clothes to my hairstyle. A proper shave was a given.
"Perfect, Master."
After twenty minutes of grooming in front of a full-body mirror with the help of my assistants, I reached a level that even I found satisfactory.
With this, I ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ wouldn't be outshined anywhere.
Click, clack.
A pair of sharp footsteps echoed.
"Master, Lady Hayan has just crossed Incheon airspace. She will arrive on the main island in approximately three minutes."
"Mm. Good."
I finished up and headed out to greet her.
With a retinue of countless assistants and staff, I made my way toward the massive yacht that occupied a significant portion of my artificial island’s dock.
Swooooooosh.
A roar tore through the sky.
Go Hayan’s AV.
"Phew. Finally, huh?"
Go Hayan.
The woman who rejected my eting requests twice.
The woman I had gradually ward up to, to the point where we could have actual conversations now.
And the woman Go Muyeol once got caught spiking a drink with his sen.
It was ti for to redefine our relationship.
"Ah...! M-Master!"
"?"
Just as I arrived at the AV pad near the dock, watching Go Hayan’s AV descend, Soo-ah suddenly gasped.
With a panicked expression, she pressed her earpiece and hurriedly spoke.
"M-Minji, Lady Minji is on her way here right now...!"
"...Huh?"
Wait.
Did I just hear that wrong?
Chiiiik.
The AV landed, and its doors opened.
Go Hayan stepped out.
It was supposed to be a business eting.
It was freezing winter, yet she was dressed like she was attending a party.
That ant she had put considerable thought into today’s eting.
But the problem was...
Swooooooosh—!
Go Minji was about to crash the event.
"It's been a while... or maybe not long enough? Good to see you, Muyeol."
The chill in the air had given Go Hayan’s cheeks a faint rosy tint as she greeted .
She wasn’t trying to hide her excitent about today’s eting.
Or maybe she just couldn’t.
It wasn’t like she was blatantly obvious, but it showed in subtle ways.
To be honest, I wanted to match that energy and welco her warmly...
But.
"Uh... Noona, I’m really happy to see you. Really, I am, but..."
"?"
She tilted her head, puzzled by my uneasy expression.
But she soon figured it out.
A second AV landed aggressively close, right beside Go Hayan’s.
Even though there were plenty of empty landing pads.
Go Hayan’s brows furrowed, and her assistants rushed toward it.
Likely to demand an explanation.
Thud.
The AV doors opened, and as soon as a woman stepped out, the approaching assistants froze in place.
"Hold it right there~!"
Go Minji swaggered forward, kicking over the assistant in front and shoving aside the others without hesitation.
"Go Minji...! What the hell are you doing here?"
"I ca to teach Go Muyeol a lesson, but wow~."
She flashed a brilliant smile, looking completely at ho.
For the record, she was dressed in a padded jacket and leggings.
"Looks like I’ve stumbled into a wildlife docuntary. What’s with that outfit?"
