Possession (3)

[Yoo Seowoo]

‘As one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, he is very affectionate. Since he was young, he has always been the class president and the school president, and lives a secret life that his parents are the presidents of famous entertainment companies. He comes to like Dawoon, but when he realizes Dawoon likes Hamin, he takes a step back.’

When I saw the name, I looked at the boy’s face again with the description of the character coming to my mind immediately. Platinum-colored hair gleamed in the sun, with platinum-colored eyes that looked mysterious; he looked so handsome that I should’ve suspected him before I bumped into him.

If I had known that he was one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, I would have tried not to bump into him at all costs, even if I fell backwards or hit myself against the wall. Is it a big deal to have a broken body? I could have been kidnapped if I was involved with key figures. I’d end up living in a strange place, but it was better to break my body than to be dragged to a strange place and be threatened with my life by strangers.

I put aside my thoughts over my regrets, seeing that it’s useless, and looked at Seowoo. I wanted to avoid Dawoon, but I didn’t want to get involved with one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings.

No, maybe the person Yoo Seowoo was going to bump into might not be me but Dawoon, but I went ahead of her trying to run away…

It was like meeting a tiger while trying to avoid a ghost. I looked at Seowoo, who was almost half-buried beneath me with a puzzled gaze, got up and shook my head.

The fortunate thing was that the guy I bumped into was ‘Lee Hamin’, the unassuming guy who would have probably expected me to pay him back in meals, but still, he wasn’t that different from Yoo Seowoo. After all, they are the Four Great Heavenly Kings.

“…”

Should I cover my face? Or hit him in the back of the neck and knock him out? Will my attack work in the first place? The opponent is one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings in an Inso, who knows how to fight well. After looking at each other for a long time, I was like, ‘Uh…?’ before that’s when it hit me. It was troublesome to go along with this development. Although the possibility that I, who wasn’t the female lead, would hear such words was slim in the first place. I didn’t know what these people were doing.

“Are you okay?”

Instead of me, who was speechless, Seowoo opened his mouth and raised his body from the ground. It was that moment when I only nodded my head and thought about turning and running as Seowoo asked and shook the dust from his clothes.

Kang Sihyun! I heard the sound of Dawoon running and calling my name. It was only then that I remembered why I had run so hard that my body stiffened as I turned around. I hadn’t seen Dawoon yet, but somehow I had a feeling she was about to arrive.

In front of me is one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, and behind is me an angry female lead. Seowoo tilted his head to the side as he looked at me, as I nervously contemplated the dilemma I’m currently in.

“Are you being chased by someone?”

“Huh?”

“Can I help you?”

“Huh?”

It was a series of absurdities. How embarrassing for the both of us! It was at the same time that an angry cry was heard again. I gritted my teeth at the sound, and looked back and forth between her and Seowoo.

Let’s think, let’s think, Yoo Sihyun. Which option is less shitty?

If I got caught by Dawoon, I would be beaten to dust on a rainy day, go to school in a tattered body and be involved in various incidents. Would you want to be beaten up on the first day of school and in front of one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings? It’s where you end up in the same situation regardless of what you choose.

On the other hand, if I asked Yoo Seowoo to help… I didn’t know how he’d help. How’s he supposed to help me in the first place? I thought it would be better to just ask Yoo Seowoo to get out of the way and run to where he came from.

“I-I think you can just step aside and I’ll run.”

“…”

Seowoo laughed as I immediately asked him to move. He had a nice smile on his face but he didn’t move. It seemed he wanted to hear a plea for help.

It was said he was kind and sensitive. It seems that the character descriptions were wrong. Or maybe he was only sweet to the female lead.

“This looks fun. Do you want to run away with me?”

“No?”

I immediately responded to his absurd remark whilst in agony. I just needed him to get out of the way. I don’t understand why you were doing this.

“Can’t you just get out of the way?”

“Yes.”

“Then why?”

“Because I like you?”

“…Ah, right.”

I couldn’t beat this one.

I was being serious, but he was playing around. I sighed and slapped my forehead, regretting using honorifics out of courtesy because I didn’t want to get too involved with him. Seowoo’s smile deepend.

“Kang Sihyun!”

I heard the voice come closer. To be honest, I could also push Seowoo and run away, but if I did, I would suffer from this.
