I Became the Leader of Academy City

33 – Discipline 15. The leader has a dedicated weapon (1)

Kim Dal-bi looked at photos of Asung High School leadership team executives on his smartphone.

Manager Ahn Woo-jin.

Chief Deputy Director Oh Baek-seo.

“… ….”

I already knew that the two of them were going out together. This was because I often watched Woojin in hopes that he would be safe.

Both of them had a deep connection with Dalby’s own childhood. How did the two people become involved? To Dalbi, the world was nothing but cruel.

Suddenly, the memory of New Yongsan Street was engraved in my mind.

The most vivid memory was not the confrontation with Woojin or the clash with Baekseo.

The sight of two people walking along the street in harmony.

That sight was piercing Dalby’s heart like a needle.

Dalbi put her smartphone to her forehead, closed her eyes and lowered her head.

For a while, a heavy silence enveloped her.

* * *

It was messy outside.

It was the sound of moving company people and robots moving luggage.

At first, I thought a new person had moved in next door, but then Oh Baek-seo came up to say hello.

The white paper said that they found out that the house next to me was vacant and signed an automatic contract.

Some residential areas in Neo Seoul, like here, are owned by the city, so you can sign a contract through an app and move in right away.

All you need is money.

And there is no reason to prohibit occupancy.

“Why aren’t you talking to me…?” ?”

“Does it bother you?”

“It’s not like that. “I wonder what it would have been like if you had at least given me a tip.”

“Hmm,” Said the white paper, stroking her smooth chin, and then opened her mouth.

“… “I decided to stay near the manager for the time being.”

Afterwards, the white paper explains.

She said the reason she moved in next door was because she was worried about me.

He was targeted by the Bomb Demon and even clashed with Kim Dal-bi.

The intention of the white paper was to stick around so that they could join at any time because they might be targeted by someone else.

I had no right to say anything anyway.

It’s not illegal, they’re not living together, there’s no moral responsibility for Baek Seo, and strictly speaking, they’re not lovers.

White paper, free paper, whatever.

“I’m sorry, but can you understand?”

I’m even sorry….

Anyway, this.

I wondered if there was even a need to do this.

‘You’re overprotective.’

Are you my mom?

‘Of course… It would be nice for me to have him next to me.’

Whether by force or in daily life.

If Baek Seo stayed close, there would be many benefits in many ways.

I tried to help organize the moving items, but Baek Seo flatly refused. He said he didn’t want to show his private life.

The fact that White Paper, who has always been easy-going and generous, categorically refuses means that he really hates it to the point of madness. So he didn’t insist on helping.

‘Well. ‘I guess he’s not a perfect person either.’

Baek Seo must have had a private life or two that he did not want others to know. In particular, since she is called the perfect woman, she may have had a unique private life.

‘… ‘I’m curious?’

What is that?

I was very curious, but I tried to calm it down.

It’s best to respect that and move on. Just like I don’t want others to see the hidden folder on my computer.

“Manager, would you like to have dinner together?”

After that, as if it was natural, the white paper ate together by bringing side dishes or cooking at my house.

The next morning too.

White Paper came to my house wearing a pink apron and spoke at the front door.

“I cooked a lot of food. “Would you like me to pack a lunch for you?”

“Uh… “Then, thank you.”

Suddenly, she packed her lunch box that Baek Seo had packed for her, and she went to school with her.

“Do you want to eat together at least once a week?”

“Why?”

“Sometimes I want to cook for myself. “You know I like cooking, right?”

Something….

“Now that I think about it, I think I need to know a little about this neighborhood. “Can you introduce me later?”

“Do you have something to introduce? What if it’s like a walking course? “A restaurant or something.”

“Yes, I like that.”

Something like this….

“If you’re bored, call me anytime. “I can be your companion at least.”

Something about this is really….

‘It feels like we’re dating even though we’re not….’

“Hey, manager?”

“Ah, something to think about came to mind.”

To be exact, a relationship that seems like a lover but is not a lover.

It’s strange to think of him as a friend.

It is ambiguous to say that they are lovers.

A point somewhere.

‘It feels like we are leading a life together.’

Now that I think about it….

When I looked back at the past, I felt it again.

Starting with an egg mayo sandwich, the virus called Obaekseo was slowly encroaching on my territory.

It had already reached a point of no return.

Suddenly, I had a feeling that if this child disappeared, a big hole would open in my life.

That hole would leave a deep emptiness and emptiness.

‘Should I say thank you…’ ?’

As mentioned above, I planned to focus on completing the tasks that needed to be done while serving as the lead manager, and then confess to Baek Seo.

Of course I was anxious.

In the meantime, Baek Seo may move away from me, or she may develop feelings for another man.

But what can I say about White Paper’s actions these days?

It seemed like ‘I am preparing to be with you.’

It feels as if he knows my plan and acts accordingly.

‘Is this interpretation too broad?’

I may be making a mistake.

However.

‘… Still.’

Dangerously.

‘I’m happy…’ !’

I felt like the stress of work and the pressure of future knowledge were all neutralized thanks to the white paper.

I was suddenly overflowing with motivation.

“Are you having dirty thoughts again?”

“Don’t say strange things while walking down the street…” .”

I was proud.

Because I didn’t have any dirty thoughts.

I was just wondering what to name my second year old.

……

“Wow. Manager, you’re alive!”

“Isn’t it obvious…? .”

Leading department executive office.

As soon as Yesong Ha came into the club room and saw me, she was completely surprised and screamed. She came closer to me.

It was an expected reaction since she had already made such a fuss with Coconut Tok.

“Jituk and social media are still going crazy. Catch the bomb and collide with the six-sinner Kim Dal-bi… ! “It was a huge incident!”

“That’s right.”

The incident that occurred on New Yongsan Street caused a great stir.

The performance of driving out Kim Dal-bi after catching the bomb horse was greatly highlighted, and practical achievements were also accumulated in the leadership team of Asung High School.

I don’t know about other school districts, but if you owe debt to the federal board, extra points will be added to the school, knowingly or unknowingly. It was also a natural progression for the leadership team’s evaluation to improve.

“The manager brings in major cases even on his days off! “Is this also a quality of a leading manager?”

“Don’t jinx me.”

“Hey.”

Yesong smiled mischievously, then she walked up to Baekseo Oh and hugged her arm.

“I’m glad that White Paper Jjing is safe too!”

“Yes.”

When Baekseo smiled kindly and patted Yesong’s head, Yesong let out a “hehehehe.”

“Manager, there are a lot of things I want to hear today!”

“It seemed so.”

“Let’s listen while eating! “I’m looking forward to a lively story!”

“Oh, was it lunch?”

Yesong seemed to have come during lunch time because he wanted to hear our story in person.

“I brought a packed lunch! With salad. “I’m on a diet these days, hehehe.”

‘I guess I’ll eat it again a little later.’

I only had precognitive abilities in Hayesong.

“Two people delivering?”

“Let’s eat together. “We also have packed lunches.”

“Oh… !”

Yesong was immediately impressed.

Why?

“I don’t know if it’s Baek Seo Jjing, but it’s the manager’s lunch box. This is precious. Miss you!”

Now that I think about it, it was like that.

Most lunches were just bread and milk bought at the cafeteria.

We went to the table and placed our lunch boxes.

As soon as I opened the lid, a gorgeous light enveloped me.

“!”

Nicely filled white rice. Just the right amount of black seaweed. Neat egg rolls, shiny stir-fried pork, egg-covered round dumplings, fresh tomato slices, green vegetables, etc.

The world of small-town yet perfect lunch boxes unfolded brightly before my eyes.

The corners of my mouth twitched without me realizing it. It was like a lunch box that a newlywed wife had packed for her husband, and a mysterious excitement filled her heart.

This was a feeling that only a lunch box could give.

“Manager.”

Suddenly, Yesong observed my lunch box and narrowed her eyes.

“Why are the white paper jjingi and the lunch box the same?”

That’s a sharp question.

The lunch box was different from Baekseo’s, but because the side dishes were the same, Yesong seemed to have doubts and asked.

There was nothing to hide.

No, I actually wanted to feel flattered.

Is this what it feels like to want to show off your girlfriend’s skills to others?

… I felt very guilty and skeptical about the fact that I harbored these feelings even though we were not in a romantic relationship. Let’s restrain ourselves.

“The white paper was prepared. “He cooked a lot of food, so he cooked mine too.”

“Aha~. Indeed, our angelic White Paper Jjing! “Are you also taking care of the manager’s nutritional balance?”

Yesong nodded her head in understanding. Strangely, he didn’t seem to accept it. The white paper has such a good image, so what?

The white paper responded with a friendly smile as usual.

“So!? “What on earth happens this weekend?”

Yesong moves on to the topic right away.

For a while, Baek Seo and I told Yesong about our experiences at New Yongsan Street. Of course, the story about the headmaster was excluded.

Yesong said she was full of liveliness and listened to her story with interest.

* * *

“Manager, white paper jjing! “It’s lunch!”

A few days later, in the leadership office.

Ha Yesong decided to have a lunch box with Ahn Woo-jin and Oh Baek-seo.

“It looks like Baek Seo Jjing took care of the manager’s matter again today! “Be jealous~.”

And a few days later.

“hehehe, let’s have lunch together!”

As expected, Yesong ate lunch with Woojin and Baekseo.

“It looks like Baek Seo Jjing made a lunch box today too….”

Yesong noticed something strange.

And the next day.

“Lunch time!”

Yeson saw it.

“… ….”

As if it was obvious, Woojin showed off the lunch box that Baek Seo had packed for him.

The next day too.

And again a few days later.

‘What…? ?’

When Yesong looked at Woojin’s lunchbox, she felt strong doubts.

It was definitely an unnatural phenomenon for the white paper to pack lunches so often, not even occasionally.

‘I heard a rumor that the manager and Baek Seo Jjing go to school together these days….’

The source of the rumor was the leading members.

As the leader department members take turns inspecting the school gate every day, I have seen the department manager and vice-chief going to school together.

Then naturally, there was talk among them that the manager and deputy manager might be dating.

Yesong thought, ‘No way,’ and tried to ignore it and move on.

‘We pack lunch boxes every day and go to school together every day….’

Electricity tingled through her mind.

At this moment, the puzzle pieces fell into place in her mind.

‘… ‘It’s 200% some.’

Since when?

Yesong looked at Woojin and Baekseo seriously. Baek Seo was looking at Woo Jin with a kind smile.

“Our manager, are you eating well?”

“Don’t treat me like a child…” .”

“hehehe.”

It was only then that Yesong sensed the strange atmosphere hovering between the two.

Jureuk. Cold sweat began to flow down Yesong’s cheeks.

* * *

After the incident where she clashed with Kim Dal-bi, there was no particular attack on her from the principal. Although she was on alert, she did not show any suspicious circumstances.

I didn’t know whether my thought that there was no reason for the principal to take the risk of catching me was correct, or what had happened to the principal.

The principal did not engage in external activities that required her to participate directly, so it was difficult for her to keep track of her movements.

Anyway, I was just thankful that he underestimated me so much right away. If possible, I will stab you in the back later.

And.

“Are you ready, aren’t you?”

“Of course, oh.”

Today was a monumental day as I finally received my exclusive equipment.

I headed to Deus Atelier on New Yongsan Street with Oh Baek-seo.
