CH 210

“Please change the colour only.”

When I asked while biting my molars hard, Luzel expressed regret and pressed down the jewel on the tiepin.

“Do you have any colour you want? You can set both the hair and the eyes.”

The colour I want. After thinking about it for a while, I said the colour I had in mind in advance.

“Platinum blonde hair and bright silver eyes.”

“Platinum and silver? Then you would look like a half.” (Half here meant half Korean and Europe or American)

“It doesn’t matter.”

In response to my reply, Luzel shrugged her shoulders, touched the jewel a few more times, and returned the tiepin.

“I set it up as you said. Only the colour will change this time.”

“Thank you.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who had been watching me out with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, opened his mouth.

“I think the colours are too flashy. Isn’t black better in general?”

“Anyway, if Team Leader Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi are next to each other, they will attract a lot of attention.”

When I lamented the looks of Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who were uselessly handsome, Park Geon-ho laughed.

“I get compliments on my looks from Talented Han Yi-gyeol. Will the sun rise in the west tomorrow?”

“Don’t talk nonsense…”

I continued to explain, bluntly shoving Park Geon-ho’s useless words.

“If it’s going to stand out anyway, it’s much better to set the mood properly. It said that there aren’t many people who buy drugs, so I’m one of them.”

“Pretend to be an immature child of a chaebol family?”

“…well, it’s similar.”

I roughly answered Cheon Sa-yeon’s question. The person I was trying to set an example for wasn’t the immature son of a chaebol family, but I couldn’t tell him in detail.

“Then, Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk and I can serve as bodyguards for our Talented Han Yi-gyeol. We will be faithful bodyguards who followed him because we’re worried about the safety of the young master who came out to drink at night. How is it?”

“Hm. Not bad.”

In fact, the most natural thing was to get together with similar people, but with less than ten days left, we couldn’t even prepare for that…

“Then when are you two going to leave?”

“Well, what should we do?”

“The night after two days is Friday, so I think it’s appropriate to go there then.”

“Friday night would be great.”

At Woo Seo-hyuk’s suggestion, Park Geon-ho smiled deeply. I was so worried about the way he was happy.

“…Team Leader. Just in case, this is reconnaissance. You don’t come there to have fun.”

“Of course. What on earth does Talented Han Yi-gyeol think of me as?”

Whatever it was, I see him as a slacker.

“Then, we’ll talk again after the two of you get back.”

I turned my eyes to Ha Tae-heon.

“I will let you know as soon as I have new information in two days.”

“Yeah.”

Ha Tae-heon had a separate guild job, so I couldn’t call him to Requiem every time. He added, who understood my heart.

“It will be difficult in two days, but don’t worry, we will fill you up in ten days no matter what happens.”

“All right.”

The words that made me feel that he cared about me put a smile on my face.

‘Ten days later.’

The date had been set. Now all that was left was to get the drugs or alcohol somehow.

I could feel the cold tiepin feel inside the palm of my hand.

* * *

The dark blue shirt was a little loose. Unlike usual, with the sleeves folded neatly, I took off the bracelet I received from Cheon Sa-yeon and wore a metal watch instead. The clock flashed white in the light of the room light.

In order not to look stuffy, I loosened two buttons around the neck and lightly flipped the bangs to let them flow down over the forehead.

Wearing all of the clothes and accessories that Cheon Sa-yeon had prepared, I smiled mischievously.

‘These clothes and watches… they look very expensive.’

I didn’t know the price, but it was different from normal clothes in the way they felt on my skin. Of course, there was nothing I could do about it because I had to wear expensive clothes.

I looked up and saw Han Yi-gyeol standing in the mirror with an awkward expression on his face. It was a full-body mirror that I purposely brought to put on my clothes.

Oh, it’s awkward. I took a deep breath as I scratched the nape of my neck. How long had it been since I paid attention to my outfit?

Eight days ago from today. As planned in advance, Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk went to the Ayton Club together.

“No joke, there are so many people and it’s complicated. It seems difficult to wander around recklessly.”

For some reason, Park Geon-ho, who returned with his tattered outfit, opened his mouth with a rare tired look. Woo Seo-hyuk’s condition wasn’t particularly different from Park Geon-ho.

“As I checked, ordinary people can enter up to the second floor, but from the third floor, only those who have rented a room or made a separate reservation can go.”

After Woo Seo-hyuk’s report, I looked back at Cheon Sa-yeon. Thoughtful with his arms crossed, he soon opened his mouth.

“You said you need an invitation to go to the party anyway… Ask around and get the invitation, and make additional room reservations. It doesn’t matter if it’s a VIP or a secret room.”

“Yes.”

The party invitations had already been distributed and had to be passed on to someone else. There were a lot of problems because time was running out, but anyway, the basic composition was there.

After staring at Han Yi-gyeol’s familiar face for a moment, I put the bracelet in my inventory and picked up a tie pin that was placed on the table.

As long as I put it on and wear it, the item would work normally, so I put it in a pants pocket that was invisible as much as possible. Pajik! As I had experienced before, there was an electric current running through my head and around my eyes.

“…it suits you better than I think.”

Han Yi-gyeol’s face, which had changed to platinum blonde hair and silver-grey eyes, murmured as I looked into the mirror. If it was my old face, it would have been really bad, but since Han Yi-gyeol was so pretty, I felt a bit similar to that man.

I blinked my eyes as I flicked the tips of my white, shiny hair in the light. Still, it was impossible to copy that man perfectly.

‘Indeed. He’s much taller and bigger than this body…’

I remembered the man’s long eyelashes falling down. Even smooth lips with slightly raised ends.

Se-hyun-ah. A low, soft voice that calling me. Tuk, tuk, a white finger with a raised bone tapping the armrest of the chair. As I slowly remembered everything, I smiled bitterly.

‘I hope I can do well.’

I knew it would be hard to be just like that man, but I hope I could copy him for half as much.

After taking a deep breath, I straightened my body against the mirror. And without hesitation, I turned my back and walked out of the bedroom.

Piiik! Pik!

As soon as I came out to the living room, Fox that was in Min Ah-rin’s arms flew backwards with a high-pitched cry. I wondered what to do if he didn’t recognize me because my appearance had changed.

“Waa, Yi-gyeol-ssi! They fit you so well!”

Everyone’s eyes waiting in the living room turned to me. At the words Min Ah-rin shouted with a bright face, Park Geon-ho, who was buttoning his shirt sleeves, responded back.

“It definitely feels like the body is yours.”

“Then I’m glad.”

I looked at Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk standing side by side as I answered briefly. Like me, the two, who changed their appearance, had different hairstyles than usual.

Park Geon-ho pulled his hair up to reveal his forehead and Woo Seo-hyuk, on the other hand, lowered all of his bangs. That alone made a huge difference in impressions.

“Do your clothes fit well?”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was looking at the documents, smiled and asked. I nodded, touching the slightly cramped watch.

“Not bad.”

“Don’t take off the watch no matter what. I have put a location tracking in there.”

“Yes.”

Not only me but also the watches worn by Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk had location tracking installed. We had to be careful in many ways as we were invading the stronghold of those who spread drugs.

“Han Yi-gyeol.”

As soon as the conversation with Cheon Sa-yeon was over, Kim Woo-jin, who had been hovering around me with a nervous look, approached me closely.

“…you have to be careful.”

Kim Woo-jin, who had been more anxious than me for ten days from the last meeting until now, was still pale. He couldn’t sleep well, so his slightly darkened eyes caught my eyes.

The guy said he would go instead even if he should become a woman with a changing item.

He turned into a woman and he said he would infiltrate the club. I adamantly refused, saying no.

‘If only I could, I would like to get rid of such troublesome work and rest.’

Drugs were also a problem, but the Praus Cult couldn’t be left alone. Because my life was at stake.

After finishing the complicated thoughts, I smiled and gave Fox to Kim Woo-jin.

“Of course. Just wait a little bit. I’ll be back soon. In the meantime, please take care of Fox.”

Piiik.

Along with Fox’s dissatisfied cry, Kim Woo-jin’s reddish-brown eyes fluttered finely. Kim Woo-jin, who bit his lip with a frown on his forehead, spoke softly.

“I got it… I will wait.”

“……”

I felt bitter at the behaviour of the guy who replied that he understood anything I had said. I’m sorry, Kim Woo-jin. I can’t help it this time.

“Han Yi-gyeol. Let’s get going.”

“Yes.”

I checked the time at Park Geon-ho’s words. 9:50 p.m. If we took a car and leave around 10 o’clock, we could enter the club before 11 o’clock.

“Have a safe trip, Hyung.”

Kwon Jeong-han, who had been in constant contact with Kwon Ji-hoon and exchanging the situation, hurriedly put his cell phone down from his ear and sent a greeting. I waved my hand to tell him not to care and do what he should do, and moved to the front door.

“Just go downstairs and get in the car.”

As I walked across the empty hallway towards the private elevator in the corner of the building, a familiar person was approaching me at a quick pace from the other side.

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

I thought he couldn’t come because I didn’t contact him. Ha Tae-heon let out a light sigh as I greeted him with a wide smile.

“Are you leaving now?”

“Yes. Have you been working until now?”

“Yeah.”

Even on the weekend, he worked overtime. It seemed that there were still many things to be dealt with in the aftermath of the explosion.

“If I were a little late, I would have missed seeing your face.”

“It’s okay if you don’t do it.”

“That’s what you’re going to say.”

Ha Tae-heon, who had eyes with various meanings, said to Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk, who stood quietly behind me and watched.

“Please take care of him to not cause any problems.”

“……?”

Why were you asking these two for my safety? Ah, because of the bodyguard roles?

Park Geon-ho, who had been biting the corners of his mouth, raised the corners of his lips with a playful smile as he said.

“Ah, of course. I won’t take my eyes off him. As even Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon knows, ‘our’ Talented Han Yi-gyeol is big trouble.”

He babbled and put his heavy arm on my shoulder. He hadn’t done it for a while and he was starting it again.

“Put your arms away.”

I struggled to beat Park Geon-ho’s arm and made eye contact with Ha Tae-heon.

“Don’t worry too much. I will be back soon.”

“…yeah. I’m waiting in your room.”

In my room? I didn’t know if it was okay to put Ha Tae-heon among those people. I had no choice but to let him if he wanted to.

“All right. Take a rest.”

After saying goodbye to Ha Tae-heon, we went straight to the underground parking lot. Park Geon-ho sat in the driver’s seat and smiled.

“Then, my young master, I will take you to the club.”

“Haa…”

Woo Seo-hyuk, who sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and exhaled a tired breath at the sly words.
