[Yes. From what I’ve found out, that’s correct. Miss.]
[Anything else?]
[There’s nothing particularly noteworthy.]
[You’ve worked hard. Then send me all the files and update me right away if there’s any new information.]
[Understood.]
I hung up the phone and looked at the wall full of Yoo Si-hwa’s photos in one corner.
She was definitely not an opponent to be taken lightly.
The moment I directly faced her for the first time, I knew at a glance that she was no ordinary person.
And I hate to admit it, but her appearance too… Of course, I didn’t think she was above me!
But it was clear that she was objectively a beauty.
However, I, Yoon Ha-rin, had no intention of just handing In-wook over.
Coming from another class to our class for unnecessary reasons and trying to snatch him away right in front of my eyes!
It was so infuriating just thinking about it again.
She was a woman who wouldn’t have been able to hold In-wook’s hand even once if it weren’t for me.
But that was a story from the previous life.
At this point, where we had returned to the past, she and I were facing the same starting line.
It’s a sad story, but it’s a part that needs to be accepted.
Still, it’s a blessing to have another chance to become a married couple with In-wook!
Moreover, In-wook said he wasn’t infertile in this life.
Then my father would definitely allow my relationship with In-wook.
He was a man who would become the strongest hunter in the future.
No matter what anyone said, I was the woman who suited In-wook the best.
I can confidently say that I knew In-wook’s taste the best and could fit him the best.
There was no way In-wook would like a picky style like Yoo Si-hwa.
Of course, he did remarry her, but that must have been because his judgment was clouded by the sense of loss after losing me.
Then, even our married life that hadn’t fully bloomed yet.
And a cute child who looks just like me and In-wook.
Hehehe.
Just thinking about it made me laugh with happiness.
If so, all the more reason. I thought it was right to exclude the elements that interfered with our happy future.
Yoo Si-hwa.
I asked the butler to find out everything about her personal information.
Being the only daughter of the GW’s chairman had definitely many convenient aspects.
I could easily obtain information that ordinary people couldn’t get if I just put my mind to it.
After carefully reading the data sent by the butler one by one, I slowly began to plan how to conquer In-wook.
Somehow. I thought that with this level of offensive, In-wook couldn’t help but fall for me.
It was clear that the variable called Yoo Si-hwa was disturbing his heart.
Honestly, it hurt my pride that In-wook was even weighing between me and Yoo Si-hwa, but Yoo Si-hwa had definitely some cool aspects even from my perspective as a woman.
Ranked first in the entire first year, a talented person directly cast by the student council.
Of course, her wealth couldn’t be compared to our family, but she was raised in a much more affluent family than In-wook’s.
Why on earth was she, who lived so smugly, obsessed with In-wook?
In her previous life, she never even showed her face to our couple.
This was the most unresolved question.
Of course, the answer was probably something that no one but Yoo Si-hwa herself would know.
But that wasn’t very important.
I just had to do my part step by step.
I had already finished talking with the school newspaper club.
Of course, the articles that had already leaked out couldn’t be helped, but I succeeded in taking down the photos of the two of them together.
And even if student council-related articles were uploaded in the future, In-wook would never be mentioned together with Yoo Si-hwa.
Next, this student council is the problem…
I could make a request to the school newspaper club using the leverage of the club support funds provided by the GW Corporation’s foundation, but in the case of the student council, trying to approach them financially could backfire.
It was an organization operated on the principle of integrity, so rather than a direct approach, there was a need to indirectly separate In-wook and Yoo Si-hwa.
Hmm… Should I talk to the homeroom teacher?
He must already be favorable to me because of the replacement of the mana measuring devices.
If you add up the value of all the replaced mana measuring devices, it was worth several million won.
Recalling how he was overly pleased at that time, he seemed a bit materialistic.
If I wanted to manipulate him, he seemed like a person who could be sufficiently bribed.
I felt sorry for In-wook, but I had to tell the teacher to pressure him to focus on raising his rank rather than student council activities.
It was more comfortable for me to make him leave on his own rather than forcibly taking him out of the student council.
I picked up my cell phone and sent a text message to the homeroom teacher’s number.
[Teacher. I wonder if you could do me a small favor…?]
Now. Yoo Si-hwa.
I’m sorry, but you have to leave the stage now.
* * *
After the morning assembly, for some reason, the homeroom teacher told me to follow him for a moment and took me to the faculty office.
“Hey. Choi In-wook.”
“Yes. Teacher.”
Did I do something wrong recently?
I had no idea why he wanted to see me separately.
“So. You’re in the student council these days?”
“Yes. I joined as the secretary and am actively participating.”
He was someone who wasn’t that interested in students, but he knew I was in the student council.
It seemed that the incident where Si-hwa and I beat up the delinquent students last time had become famous enough for even the teacher to know.
“Ahem! I think it would be better for you to focus on training since you haven’t even built the basics as a hunter yet…”
I barely suppressed the hollow laughter that tried to escape.
Look here. It’s clear that the one who hasn’t built the basics is you, not me.
In fact, even in my current physical condition, I felt like I could beat the homeroom teacher if I did it right.
“I will train at my own pace.”
“No. I mean, investing time in a busy group like the student council. I don’t think it will be of much help to you.”
Hmm… What’s this… It was as if he wanted me to quit the student council.
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Hey! You’re so frustrating! Listen to your teacher!”
At this point, I started to get annoyed.
“I won’t disappoint you at the next evaluation, so please watch over me for now.”
Come to think of it, you told me to show some performance at the last evaluation feedback, right?
Alright. You said it well.
I thought I should prepare with a bit more strength for the next evaluation.
“Okay! But if you screw up the next evaluation. You quit the student council yourself.”
Of course, the student council wasn’t a group I joined because I liked it, but I didn’t want to leave because of the homeroom teacher’s unreasonable pressure.
“Yes. Let’s do that. Then.”
With those words, I left the faculty office and returned to the classroom, where Ha-rin looked at me with worried eyes.
“Why did the teacher call you? In-wook?”
“Ah. He didn’t seem to like me being in the student council.”
“Why?”
“He probably thought I was investing time in unnecessary things when my skills were lacking.”
To think that I would hear such things in my life.
“Oh… I see. So what did you say?”
Was it my imagination? I felt a slight sense of anticipation in her tone.
“I just said I would do it for now. I said I would prove it with the results of the next evaluation.”
“Hehe. I see.”
Ha-rin’s mouth was smiling, but her eyes were coldly sunken.
“Still, In-wook. You know that pair activities are more important than the student council in your career, right?”
That was definitely true.
In the end, individual grades determined the success or failure of the rank, rather than which group you belonged to.
“In the first semester of the first year, it’s okay to take it easy…”
“No!”
Ha-rin slammed the desk with her palm.
“You can’t reach S-rank with that attitude!”
Why are you doing this too?
It felt strange that Ha-rin and the homeroom teacher were nagging me about grades, which even my mother didn’t do.
“I’m working so hard, but In-wook, you’re taking it easy… I was the only one who was sincere…”
Ha-rin spoke while covering her mouth like a tragic heroine who had been hurt.
“No. That’s definitely not the case.”
“You’re too much!”
She buried her face in the desk like that.
What should I do?
No matter how I look at it, this seems more like pretending to be upset rather than actually being upset.
I dated Ha-rin for 3 years.
I could discern whether she was truly upset or not.
Hmm… It was a bit of a one-dimensional solution, but there was no other way.
“Ha-rin.”
There was no answer.
I wonder if she can still not answer this time. Yoon Ha-rin.
When I gently placed my hand on her shoulder, her body trembled.
“Ha-rin.”
Still no answer from her.
Then there’s no other way. This is the path you have chosen.
My hand moved up a little from her shoulder and gently tickled the back of her neck.
Her body started vibrating like a cell phone.
Oh? You can endure this?
I was someone who knew Ha-rin’s ticklish spots exactly.
As I gradually increased the intensity of the tickling, Ha-rin couldn’t stand it anymore and finally burst out laughing.
“Hahaha. I… In-wook. I was wrong, so stoooop.”
She begged me with tears half-welling up in her eyes.
“Meanie. Who told you to touch me like that?”
She glared at me after barely stopping her laughter.
“Sorry, sorry~ The class is about to start, so I wanted to wake you up because there was no answer~”
“Liar.”
“Now, everyone, let’s go.”
The homeroom teacher opened the door and took the kids out.
Today was a day with an outdoor class that happened only once or twice a semester.
And now was the optimal time for outdoor classes.
I think I went to practice along this path where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom in my previous life too.
“Hurry up! In-wook!”
The sight of Ha-rin gesturing to me from afar was like a picture.
