EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 82: Suhyuk Joo’s ro

Suhyuk Joo鈥檚 room.

Suhyuk Joo was laying on the bed, checking his schedule with a hologram, then roughly turned it off.

He sighed, his face all gloomy.

鈥業 know what my grandfather is thinking.鈥?/p>

There have been continuous demands to attend various parties lately.

It wasn鈥檛 simply an invitation to a party.

The adults kept encouraging him to attend parties with one person, Hyeji Oh, a third-year and head of the department of student guidance.

By this time, Suhyuk couldn鈥檛 help but notice.

More decisively was the message that arrived now.

[Hyeji Noona] They鈥檙e telling me to go to the party on board with you?

[Me] The one we鈥檙e preparing with TC?

[Hyeji Noona] Yup. This time, your tuxedo and my dress鈥?They鈥檙e going to match our outfits at the same time, in the same place.

[Me] Really?!

Suhyuk was astonished, as he didn鈥檛 expect them to go this extreme.

鈥業t鈥檚 like an official public announcement that we鈥檙e together!鈥?/p>

He had left his outfit planning to his secretary/bodyguard Chul Kim.

鈥楿i-shin and Hyo-don are coming that day, too!鈥?/p>

This could lead to his school friends misunderstanding the situation.

Suhyuk鈥檚 head began to ache.

[Hyeji Noona] I鈥檓 going to spill champagne on purpose that day and wear a spare dress. But it might not work if there鈥檚 a player with restoring abilities on board. You should get a spare tuxedo just in case, too.

[Me] I will!

[Hyeji Noona] I want to run away from home too.

[I] I鈥檓 sorry, Hyeji noona.

[Hyeji Noona] Suhyuk you鈥檝e done nothing wrong. It鈥檚 those senile old men!

鈥楬yeji noona wouldn鈥檛 want to be hard-pressed to get engaged and get married, either.鈥?/p>

Hyeji Oh鈥檚 big sister, Hyejung ran away on the day her half-forced engagement to Suhyuk鈥檚 second cousin was announced.

Hyejung wasn鈥檛 as strong as Hyeji, but she had the skills and attitude to beat up the bodyguards and escape.

She wrote a big, nasty 鈥楩uck you鈥?in the waiting room with a blade on the hall where the engagement ceremony was scheduled and disappeared.

鈥楾hat was crazy.鈥?/p>

Hyejung usually avoided the media and didn鈥檛 attend official events often.

At that time, there was a rumor that she was born with psychic talents, but she was weak, timid, and shy.

But the two words she left at the engagement hall, 鈥楩uck you,鈥?showed that the rumors were all fake.

The fact that Hyejung has not been shown to the public by the Oh family must have been to hide her remarkable personality.

鈥楲ooks like they haven鈥檛 found Hyejung noona yet.鈥?/p>

As Hyejung鈥檚 reason for running away from home wasn鈥檛 exactly ideal, it was difficult to conduct an open investigation, and her face was not known, they couldn鈥檛 expect information of her whereabouts.

Frankly, Suhyuk was rooting for Hyejung Oh.

鈥楾hey really didn鈥檛 seem interested in each other. Why can鈥檛 we all just date and marry people we love?鈥?/p>

As his thoughts trailed along, Dain An鈥檚 face popped into Suhyuk鈥檚 head.

His heart warmed at the thought of her, but he became somber again due to his situation.

It was so frustrating that he wanted at least to run astray a little, if not running away from home.

Green Min, someone who refused to come to school.

Green Min is a playable character in the game, so I had a certain amount of information about her.

鈥楤ut there are a lot of facts I didn鈥檛 know.鈥?/p>

Among the many playable characters, Green Min was one of the less important ones.

She didn鈥檛 even appear once on Eun-kwang high school grounds.

鈥業 thought she didn鈥檛 want to come, but seeing her behavior, I don鈥檛 think that鈥檚 the case.鈥?/p>

If Green really didn鈥檛 want to come to school, she wouldn鈥檛 have appeared at school during the midterms.

In the game, Green Min was always accompanied by her childhood friend, Dae-suk Song.

However, she came on the first day of the midterms by herself, and that was a bit concerning.

鈥楪reen Min was described as having post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, because of an incident in the past. But she still came to school. She鈥檚 trying to get over her trauma.鈥?/p>

Although she still wanted to run away when there were many people.

[Unknown] The message is marked as read

[Unknown] Why aren鈥檛 you answering?

[Unknown] Is this first-grade class 0鈥檚 vice prez device?

Less than a minute after I was immersed in my thoughts, she hurried me to answer.

鈥楽he鈥檚 actively sending messages, and had a real conversation with me the last time. Maybe she could handle one-on-one or small group interactions.鈥?/p>

She had the willpower to overcome this and had no problem with interactions itself.

鈥業s there a way to make Green Min keep coming to school, instead of only on Teacher鈥檚 Day?鈥?/p>

Green Min鈥檚 information I knew through the game.

Green Min鈥檚 trauma.

First-grade class 0.

I recalled the information and resources I could use.

鈥樷€︹€?I can only come up with a simple, plain solution.鈥?/p>

Still, I had to try it. Even if I fail.

If I missed an opportunity right now, no one will know when Green Min will come back to school.

[Me] I am first-grade class0鈥檚 vice president. sorry for the late answer.

[Me] As promised, if you come tomorrow, I鈥檒l give you the 鈥榙roplet of mermaid鈥檚 breath.鈥?/p>

[Unknown] OK. When should I go?

[Me] We鈥檙e going to have a simple party during morning attendance time. Come then.

[Unknown] 鈥︹€?Can鈥檛 I go home straight away?

So she was planning to take it and leave.

[Me] No. At least until the end of morning attendance. I鈥檒l give you the item card when that鈥檚 over.

There was no answer for a while.

[Unknown] Oh, I can鈥檛 鈥︹€?Too many people T.T 鈥︹€?/p>

[Me] Don鈥檛 you want to continue coming to school?

[Unknown] No, there are too many people it鈥檚 impossible!

She said she 鈥渃an鈥檛鈥?because it was impossible, not she 鈥渄oesn鈥檛 want to鈥?because there were too many people.

So if I solve the problem that 鈥渢here are a lot of people,鈥?Green Min may continue to come to school.

[I] On one more condition, I can let you go before morning attendance is over.

[Unknown] 鈥︹€?What?

When I said the condition, Green Min answered that she would do it, albeit uncertainly.

It is not yet known if Green Min will remain in the classroom until the end of the Teacher鈥檚 day, but at least I gained an opportunity.

鈥楾hen, it鈥檚 a little late, but I need to go shopping.鈥?/p>

I stood up and went for a nighttime shopping.

Fortunately, there was still a store in Eun-kwang Gu that sold the necessary goods, so there was no need to go far.

Teacher鈥檚 day, morning.

Team 鈥榝ood鈥? Se-eum Sawol, Han-yi, Jiho Hwang, and I met in front of the West gate early in the morning.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the first time I鈥檝e visited here in person.鈥?/p>

According to what he was saying in the classroom about the menus, Jiho seemed to be a regular to the bakery.

Whether he had ordered his subordinates or used a delivery service, it seemed like it was the first time to come here himself.

鈥淚 come at least once every two days!鈥?/p>

鈥淢e too.鈥?/p>

鈥淒o you want to come with me next time? There are some types of bread that are too big for one person to eat鈥︹€?it would be nice to share halves.鈥?/p>

鈥淪ure!鈥?/p>

Se-eum and Han-yi hooked their pinkies, smiling broadly.

Once every two days was a lot. I had no clue they were coming so often.

鈥淭here are a lot of people.鈥?/p>

鈥淢ost of them are our school kids.鈥?/p>

鈥淚t was a wise move to pre-order.鈥?/p>

Divided into reservation lines and non-reservation lines, people were waiting inside or outside the bakery.

One of the famous restaurants in Eun-Kwang Gu, homemade bakery 鈥楳ITRON鈥檌n front of the East gate.

The bakery name meant 鈥榖akery assistant鈥?in French.

鈥業t鈥檚 a very modest name compared to taste and reputation.鈥?/p>

The four of us stood in the reservation line.

Unlike the regular line, the reservation line quickly reduced.

Upon entering the bakery, sweet aroma from freshly baked bread and cookies gushed into my nose.

鈥淲elcome. Eun-kwang High first grade class 0, right?鈥?/p>

鈥淗ello!鈥?/p>

鈥淗ello.鈥?/p>

A man dressed in a patissier suit smiled softly and held out a box.

His regulars, Se-eum and Han-yi, were asking him how he was doing.

鈥業t鈥檚 the first time I鈥檝e seen MITRON鈥檚 patissier in person.鈥?/p>

When I sometimes came to buy bread, there was only one person at the counter, probably a part-time worker.

The timing wasn鈥檛 right, I suppose.

鈥淗m鈥︹€︹€?/p>

鈥淲hat鈥檚 the matter?鈥?/p>

Jiho Hwang looked at the patissier with his eyes twinkling ominously.

鈥淚 think he was strongly 鈥榖lessed鈥?by an Original clan. But who?鈥?/p>

The owner of the homemade bakery 鈥楳ITRON鈥?was also a famous player.

So it wouldn鈥檛 be unusual to be strongly blessed by an Original clan.

鈥淪orry it took so long! Let鈥檚 go!鈥?/p>

鈥淵eah. Let鈥檚 go and set the table up.鈥?/p>

Se-eum and Han-yi finished the payment and came to us.

Jiho looked like he wanted to observe the patissier with the strong blessing some more.

Before Jiho said something strange, I grabbed and dragged him to our classroom.

First-grade class 0.

The team in charge of the carnations prepared a basket of flowers and flowers to pin on Geun-hyung Ham鈥檚 clothes.

There were red carnations in the white basket, baby鈥檚 breath flowers(aka gypsophila) filled between the carnations, and cypress.

The flower basket was tied with a velvet ribbon, and hanging next to it was a blue bow and arrow-shaped ornament.

鈥楾hey chose this ornament because Geun-hyung Ham鈥檚 Gwanglim is 鈥淪harpshooter鈥檚 gaze and Arrow of Light鈥?and his hero nickname is 鈥淪harpshooter of the Azure Sky.鈥濃€?/p>

No one will sell a bow and arrow-shaped ornament with a basket of flowers, so they probably bought it separately.

鈥淲e bought this ornament at Namdaemun Accessories store!鈥?/p>

Said Yuri, noticing me staring at the bow and arrow ornament.

鈥淲asn鈥檛 it far from Yangjae Dong Flower market to Namdaemun Shopping Street?鈥?/p>

鈥淚t鈥檚 only a 40-minute taxi ride.鈥?/p>

That鈥檚 a long ride.

鈥淚t was fun to look around Namdaemun Market.鈥?/p>

鈥淵eah! There were so many cool things. I wanted to buy so many things I didn鈥檛 really need鈥︹€︹€?/p>

鈥淟ena bought more than ten violin-shaped patches and ornaments. I bought a few magnolia-shaped ones, too.鈥?/p>

鈥淯gh鈥︹€?I did buy a lot, but no regrets!鈥?/p>

Hyo-don and Lenna, who were moving the desks, also entered the conversation.

They took a lot of time compared to the food team, but I was glad the three had fun.

As I finished arranging the desks and preparing the cake, the promised time with Green Min was getting closer.

Before Green Min came, I had something to ask my classmates.

I was thinking about how to start the conversation when,

鈥淰ice prez has that suspicious smile again.鈥?/p>

Before I could say anything, Hyo-don鈥檚 words gathered the attention of my classmates.

鈥淗ahahaha!鈥?/p>

鈥淚 think he has something to say.鈥?/p>

It kinda hurt that no one disagreed to 鈥榮uspicious鈥?smile, but I said what I had to say.

鈥淚 need you guys to do a favor for me.鈥?/p>

I handed them the stuff I bought yesterday.

* * *

The entrance to the first-grade building near class 0 was relatively quiet.

Min Green, hiding in the shadows of the stairs, saw that I had come and walked out, alert of her surroundings.

She was wearing fake glasses with thick frames and a hoodie over her head today, too.

鈥楾hat paper bag鈥︹€?a gift to Geun-Hyung Ham?鈥?/p>

Min Green was holding a paper bag about the size of an A4 paper.

鈥淚鈥檓 here. BUT if I did what you said and it doesn鈥檛 work, I鈥檓 going straight home. When that happens, send the item card by player-only mail.鈥?/p>

It seemed that Green Min really thought this through.

I nodded right away.

鈥淥kay.鈥?/p>

鈥溾€︹€?Promise? If you don鈥檛 give it to me, I鈥檓 going to tell Mr. Geun-hyung Ham!鈥?/p>

Min Green is closer to Geun-hyung Ham than I thought.

In that case, my simple and plain plan had a better chance of succeeding.

鈥淚鈥檒l give you that item card even if you just took a look around our classroom.鈥?/p>

I said, remembering my classmates who agreed to do what I鈥檝e asked without question.

鈥淵ou鈥檒l be okay with our classmates.鈥?/p>

I gave Green Min the item I bought yesterday.
