I touched my neck. In the prediction that I saw with [Foresight], the pain I felt when Ha Hyun Seo's fingernails pierced my neck ca to mind again.
It was clear that Kwon Jae Hyuk also cared about Ki Yoon Jae a lot If he had acted like Ha Hyun Seo, I would have already t my end. His strength was reliable when we were on the sa side, but I would be horrified if it were directed at .
Let's not get caught.
Never. I should never be caught. I refused to turn into a hedgehog with weapons stabbed all over my body.
Back in the mansion, I sighed and leaned deeply into the sofa in my room. There was no ti to relax in this spacious mansion.
Ah wasnt it always like this from the beginning?
There was only one trustworthy person among the gifted.
Jung Yi Joon. He was a bit crazy when he got angry for no reason, but he was the only one who liked , not Ki Yoon Jae.
Because he didn't get along with Ki Yoon Jae before.
Locking eyes with was enough for Jung Yi Joon to spit and curse at , but he hasn't been doing that these days.
He still got angry and cursed at Kwon Jae Hyuk, but seeing that he treated more leniently than before, it was clear that he started to feel more amiable towards .
If I said that I was not Ki Yoon Jae, wouldn't he be bewildered at first and then say, "Really?" Or, "I see, as expected.
I had no intention of doing that, but
Everything I had just said was only conjecture, and there was a chance that it wouldnt play out that way. Taking Ha Hyun Seo's example to heart, I decided against being reckless. Even if Jung Yi Joon knew the truth, I didn't think he would kill like Ha Hyun Seo, but I didn't know for sure.
I don't think the system will give another life as kindly as it did then.
Back then, it had been during a tutorial. Now that I entered the main ga, I didn't know if a single mistake would lead to an irreversible result.
I might return when I die, but I didnt want to gamble with the only life I had.
Soone knocked on my door while I was lost in thought.
"Are you ready?"
It was Ki Hyun Joo who opened the door and entered. Ki Hyun Joo ca closer and looked at once. Then, she reached out and grabbed the bow tie around my neck.
She grinned and while fixing the crooked accessory, she whispered to :
The bow tie is very cute. You look great, young master.
"Tsk."
Ki Hyun Joo, who laughed at my displeased face, wrapped her arms around my arm.
"I think we're ready, so let's go."
Her affectionate gaze was a far cry from the way she had looked at the back when I first possessed this body. During that ti, her eyes were always fierce
It had only been a short while ago, but sohow it seed like that was already part of the distant past, so I laughed hard.
Okay, lets go.
When I stepped outside in line with Ki Hyun Joo, gifted people were waiting with the attendants. All of them were dressed in suits or otherwise similar smart attire to Ki Hyun Joo and .
"Hyung!"
"Hyun Seo-ya!"
As soon as he saw , Ha Hyun Seo's eyes began sparkling. He ran to at once while avoiding his sister's shaking hand, which had been holding him.
"Hyung, you look pretty!"
"Um, you, too."
Ha Hyun Seo, who naturally dug into my arms and hugged around my waist, looked up at . Ki Yoon Jae was scary because he was crazy, but Ha Hyun Seo's cute attitude remained unchanged. As I was rubbing Ha Hyun Seo's head without realising it, Ha Hyun Seo rubbed his face into my chest.
"Stop it. The clothes are getting wrinkled.
"Jeez
Ha Hyun Seo's mouth jutted out at Ki Hyun Joo's rebuke, but he ekly followed. Still, he wiggled his hand and grabbed my sleeve.
When I glanced at Ha Hyun Seo and checked on Ha Eun Seo, I noticed her face turning pale. I couldn't understand why she was so afraid of .
Because of Ki Yoon Jae's personality I wouldn't have used violence or anything.
Co to think of it, it seed that Ha Eun Seo wasn't good at communicating with others. Even if she did, I think it was either Ki Hyun Joo or Ha Hyun Seo whom she spoke to? I hadn't seen her talk to anyone else.
Did she just dislike people? While I was lost in thought looking at Ha Eun Seo, Jung Yi Joon approached in a prickly manner. His tie was nowhere to be seen.
"Ugh, it's annoying. Why do I have to go to your family gathering?"
"It's not a family gathering, it's just a party. Just think of it as you're going sowhere to eat sothing delicious."
Thats right, it was all because of the end-of-year family gathering. It was a big party in which not only the imdiate family and branch families gathered at the hotel banquet hall to greet each other, but also people and officials from companies affiliated with the Sungwoon group participated.
I was only able to take the gifted, so they were all dressed up.
I ignored Jung Yi Joon, who was grumbling and full of complaints, and looked at them once. I didn't see any problems
Oh, it's crooked.
Kwon Jae Hyuk's tie was crooked. I was wondering if I should tell him, but I rembered that there was no mirror in the hallway. Deciding it would be hard to fix it himself, I approached and fixed Kwon Jae Hyuk's tie instead.
"Thanks."
Kwon Jae Hyuk greeted with a smile. It was nothing, so I shrugged my shoulders, but I felt a stabbing look from sowhere. Looking back, it was Jung Yi Joon.
"Huh! I can't believe it!"
I couldn't tell what was wrong. Jung Yi Joon, fuming, stomped his feet and tried to leave, but was stopped by Ki Hyun Joo.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to my room!"
What? We have to leave now!"
However, Ki Hyun Joo could not beat the devil, Jung Yi Joon. There was no way that Ki Hyun Joo could win against Jung Yi Joon, who didn't even listen to Ki Yoon Jae. Eventually, Jung Yi Joon left for his room, and returned with a tie in hand.
Ugh, really
Ki Hyun Joo, who stared at him as if she was looking at a beagle who didn't listen to her, grabbed her forehead and waved at him to go quickly. As always, cars were standing in front of the front door with attendants.
As everyone got into the car, Jung Yi Joon and I got in as well.
"Oi."
As soon as I got in the car, Jung Yi Joon stuck out his tie to . "What do you want to do?" When I looked at him, Jung Yi Joon made a gesture by moving his chin.
"Put it on."
"What?"
"Put the tie on ."
As I hesitated, Jung Yi Joon's glaring eyes flared up. This crazy guy.
As I was sticking close to Jung Yi Joon while pulling the tie around his neck and tying the knot, Jung Yi Joon's lips trembled. He looked quite happy.
He must be happy with it.
How happy it must be to be served by Ki Yoon Jae. I felt an urge to strangle him with the tie, but I didn't do it because I was afraid that he would do more than just glare at .
I'd never fitted a tie around soone's neck, so I was a little lost, but sohow I tied it up.
Jung Yi Joon smiled in satisfaction when he saw his neck reflected in the rearview mirror. You didnt know how difficult it was to get that tie into shape.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Yes."
Jung Yi Joon answered with a big smile despite my sarcastic questions.
Despite such ups and downs, we arrived at the eting place. When I arrived at the affiliated SW Hotel and entered the reserved reception hall, I saw people.
I thought we'd be the first to arrive because we were in such a hurry, but there were more people than I thought.
Most of them were people from other companies, and the rest were custors of said companies.
"I can hardly see the imdiate family.
"That's right, since they're being sward by everyone else."
Ki Hyun Joo heard my muttering and said cynically. There was a slight contempt in her eyes.
"Oh, it's my mum."
However, it disappeared when she saw her family. She had begun to approach her mum subconsciously, but then paused and looked at . I waved my hand because it seed like she wanted to go.
"Just go."
"No."
"I told you to go. What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid you'll make an accident."
She hesitated and said that. I still had mories of being a rascal, so it seed that Ki Hyun Joo almost ran out of trust in .
I'm not a child. What kind of accident do you think I would make?
"Ah, that's enough. Just go.
"You're not going to cause an accident, are you?
"I'm going to get angry."
After seeing the annoyed look on my face, Ki Hyun Joo stopped asking and went to her parents.
Seeing her go, I sat down at the table. They were large, round tables that could seat about ten people all over the place.
Sitting here for dinner, listening to his grandfather Ki Jae Mu's words of blessing, and then after the al, gathering together to drink champagne and talk about politics and economy.
I was just going to eat as much as possible, but
Cant I just leave after that?
Well, I could skip the after al gathering if nothing else happened. When I sat at the table, other people followed .
Next to was Jung Yi Joon, who was talking with Kwon Jae Hyuk. I couldn't hear the contents of the discussion, but I could tell by looking at Jung Yi Joon's grinning face that he was happy.
But why does Kwon Jae Hyuk look like that?
Normally, he teased Jung Yi Joon with a smile, but today the positions seed to be reversed. Jung Yi Joon looked so happy that he could die, but Kwon Jae Hyuk didn't look so happy.
I didnt know what happened, but Jung Yi Joon must have caused it. I pretended not to know.
