Chapter 458: Cho Hyejin’s Instruction Manual (3)

Cho Hyejin was evidently bewildered.

However, that was only for a second, she looked calm and carefully opened her mouth.

“I don’t know. I’m not sure what your intentions are regarding that question… Guild Master is a wonderful person. He is constantly striving toward his goals. Looking at him from the sidelines, I feel that he is someone who has a lot of respectable elements. It’s funny to say this from the perspective of a modern woman, but he is worth following.”

“No, I don’t want a formal answer.”

“What?”

“I’m asking what you think of him as a man.”

“What?”

“Yes, as a man.”

“What are you…”

“Don’t you like the Guild Master?”

“I-I’m curious why you’d ask that question, Vice Guild Master.”

“I’m asking because I have my reasons. Please be honest. It’s important.”

“Why is this important? If you’re trying to make fun of me now… I will formally protest. Please refrain from rude jokes.”

“No, I’m not making fun of you. I’m asking you this out of curiosity as a friend. Honestly, I can see everything on your face, but why are you evading like this? You like Hyunsung.”

“Why would I… I haven’t even thought about it. I don’t know what made you say that, but you seem to have mistaken my respect for the Guild Master as something else. I’ve never had such imprudent feelings, and I think I shouldn’t. As the Guild Master’s lieutenant…”

“No. Don’t say that. Be honest. You like him.”

“I don’t.”

“You like him.”

“I don’t.”

“No, you like him!”

“I-I said I don’t! I don’t!”

She screamed as if she felt flustered.

I could see her straightening her voice embarrassingly. Of course, I was also flustered.

That was because her reaction was a little passionate. I had expected she would initially deny it, but I felt like her defiance was even stronger than I thought.

Even Jung Hayan was slightly shocked by the unexpected question, but based on her reaction, it seemed like she hadn’t realized that Cho Hyejin liked Kim Hyunsung.

‘She’s really not usually interested in others.’

Perhaps she didn’t even care what Kim Hyunsung and Cho Hye-jin often did. However, witnessing how the way she looked at her became softer, I thought she liked the fact that nothing would happen between Cho Hyejin and me.

She really was a simple person, wasn’t she?

“Whew. Whew…”

“…”

“Whew. Ahem. I’m sorry for screaming all of a sudden. It’s really not what you think. You seem to have misunderstood because of what happened before, but I only said that because I was worried about the Guild Master and the Blue Guild. I never talked about it because of personal feelings.”

“No, what’s weird about it? When a man and a woman hang around together, that kind of feeling can arise.”

“I’m saying that it’s not that…”

“Honestly, denying it now seems stranger. We’re not kids anymore, and I’m not making fun of you. Isn’t that why the unicorn was so happy with you? And how old are you to be blushing about something like this?”

“That is also a misunderstanding. You don’t know how I was on Earth…”

“What?”

“I’ll just tell you this. Everyone knew about Wooshin Girls’ High School technician.”

‘You sound like Park Deokgu, the love doctor in Gangwon-do, again.’

Even though she opened her mouth, her face had reddened. Anyway, this had nothing to do with the matter at hand,

What was important was what Cho Hyejin thought of Kim Hyunsung.

In fact, the answer was fixed. She was just ashamed of telling me, but perhaps she knew best.

Everyone in the guild knew that Cho Hyejin secretly had a crush on Kim Hyunsung.

Her face was strangely red whenever they were together, and she secretly defended her place next to him, using the position of lieutenant as an excuse. She thought she had been hiding it well, but only Kim Hyunsung wasn’t aware of her feelings.

‘Shall I push another one?’

As someone who was picturing several scenarios, it would be better to start with the Black Swan’s Park Yeon-joo, but for some reason, the more I looked at her, the sadder I got.

‘Our Hyejin has indeed suffered a lot…’

She had faced a miserable end to the masked trash in the first round, and yet she still expressed her feelings after death.

I personally thought of her as a close friend, so if I had to push someone, I think it would better if it were her. Perhaps she could have a positive effect on Kim Hyunsung’s mental health.

Most of all, she cared for him, so it was undeniable that she would be able to help him in many ways. She even threw her own life like it was worthless, so I couldn’t help but think that she would never be a bad partner of Kim Hyunsung.

“I’m not interested if you are Wooshin Girls’ High School’s technician. Honestly, I asked because I wanted to help. No, it feels like it’s more of a necessity rather than charity.”

“What is a necessity?”

“It’s related to Hyunsung.”

“What?”

“Hyunsung is mentally drained. Have you ever thought about that while watching him from the side?”

“That’s…”

“I know about it too. You don’t have to hide it. You have never seen him rest, right?”

“You’re wrong. The Guild Master always has a proper rest…”

“I’m not talking about resting his body between training sessions. I’m not asking about having a quick meal or drinking tea in the middle of work. I’m literally asking about the rest of someone normal, like lying down without doing anything, enjoying cultural life or hobbies. If that’s not the case, it doesn’t matter if for as long as it’s his personal leisure time. You should have seen something since you’re always close to him. I asked if you’ve ever seen something like that.”

“I-I haven’t.”

‘I thought so.’

I already knew.

I asked because I hadn’t been around him recently, but it seemed like he hadn’t changed much apart from his own social skills.

As I slightly turned my head, I could see Cho Hyejin’s serious face. She must’ve realized that there was something strange by then.

“He was like that even before Hyejin came to the guild. Right now, he’s a little better. It’s natural that you’ve never seen it. Honestly, I don’t know what he eats except when eating with the guild members, but isn’t he only eating simple battle food?”

“That seems to be the case.”

“I’ve been trying to turn a blind eye to it so far, but the more I think about it, the more serious the situation becomes. Even after a few years, he still hasn’t changed, and maybe he doesn’t even realize it. I understand that he feels unsafe, but his case is a bit severe. He’s constantly worried, constantly prepared, and constantly moving. Does that sound like something that people would usually do? Machines wouldn’t live like that.”

“…”

“Speaking of… honestly, I would like to commend Hyunsung for meeting with a woman last night. Personally, I wonder if it helped relieve his stress.”

“That’s…!”

“Of course, I know what Hyejin is worried about. It’s suspicious that a woman we don’t even know the name of suddenly came out of the blue, and there’s something wrong with the situation. I think the same way. So, I want to create a place where our Guild Master can rest. And I thought of Hyejin as the candidate.”

“You can’t make it just by efforts. Human emotions are fickle. And even if I had feelings for the Guild Master, the Guild Master….”

“We don’t know that. It may sound ridiculous for me to say this, but honestly, I can’t go wrong with Hyejin. You’ve spent a lot of time with Hyunsung, and you’ll be more advantageous than anyone else.”

‘You understand him well, after all.’

“I can roughly understand what you are talking about, but… I’m not sure why you’re helping me. The offer is too sudden. Of course, it doesn’t mean that I have feelings for the Guild Master. I am just curious.”

Actually, since the Bitch-erella happened only recently, this was a very difficult situation.

I was anxious that Hyunsung would continue to do things like flirting, so I hoped that she’d give it a try. I needed her to help with Hyeonsung’s psychological health. He was evidently struggling. He would be able to rest if someone was next to him.

I wanted to say that, but I couldn’t. In the end, I had to put the right excuses in my mouth.

“You know that I’m greedy. It’s a little strange that an outsider suddenly comes to the Blue, and honestly, almost everything Deokgu said is nonsense, but it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. If Hyunsung finds a mate, it would be better if it’s someone he knows… actually, this is the biggest reason. Personally, I was already cheering for Hyejin, and I think right now’s the right timing to strike. So will you do it or not?”

“This isn’t an area where you can help. I don’t even need that kind of help. In the first place, I…”

Her words sounded determined, but her face showed mixed emotions.

Unlike what she said, she seemed to want to ask someone for help.

Even though she spouted bullshit about being blown by the bitch, and that she was a technician at Wooshin Girls’ High School, everyone knew that Cho Hyejin had never dated anyone.

It’s likely that she was confused about what to do, how to get close to him, and even how to start it.

There were so many beautiful and capable women around, and an unknown pregnant woman even appeared. She seemed to have already lost herself a few minutes ago. She was looking mournfully at me, asking what to do.

“Sorry, but I can’t help it.”

“…”

“I have to contact Black Swan’s Yeon-joo.”

“No, it’s a little weird to help with that in the first place. If it’s an inappropriate way, I’ll block it.”

“It’s not a very inappropriate way. I’m just giving you reasonable advice. And this is for the Guild Master. Who will be responsible if the innocent Hyunsung is caught in a scandal due to the sudden appearance of the vulpine woman? He’s like the father of our guild, and I don’t want to see him go through something like that. Honestly, you think the same way. You might be ashamed, but you don’t have to deny it. What is a good friend? Even if I look like this, I’ve eaten with Hyunsung. We even went to the sauna, and everything… I guarantee I can push you in the right direction.”

Some silence subsided in the place.

Turning my head to look at her, I was met with her puzzled look. Somehow, she was showing a positive reaction to my words.

Eventually, after a long time, Cho Hyejin carefully opened her mouth.

‘As expected of you.’

“H-How can you help me?”

“Change your style, makeup, correct your behavior…”

“Yes.”

“Most importantly, you only need to listen to me. Let’s think of it as moving like my doll or avatar for a few days.”
