Chapter 358 – Beginning
March is a month of beginnings in many ways.
The blooming spring days have begun, the Nobel Dice contest has begun, and a new semester has begun.
Lee Seok-chan, who was smoking, said with a smile like a man.
“Hey. Freshmen are cool. Not writing?”
Seo Joo-hwan also nodded. It was while sucking on the Vitastic to appease the increased desire to smoke due to the stress of the recent contest.
Jang Deok-hoon, sitting next to him, raises his finger and says.
“Brothers, there is also a freshman here. Are you coming to us?”
“Are you pretty?”
“Comeliness?”
“Uh… Yes, it is pretty.”
Seo Joo-hwan and Lee Seok-chan’s heads turned around. And the next moment, the faces of the two people were stained with disappointment. Seo Joo-hwan even kicked his tongue. The woman who came from the other side of him questioned with a teary face.
“Stop like the two older brothers. Explain what that thick expression is right now. Especially my mother’s son.”
Lee Seok-chan made an excuse first.
“It is a misunderstanding. I frowned because the sun was stinging.”
Instead of making an excuse, Seo Joo-hwan clicked his tongue again.
“Cheeky bitch. He dares to talk to his brother who is four years older than him.”
“Your brother started a fight with his expression!”
“Ugh. The younger sister who has one calls her older brother a bastard, and the disciple lies about being pretty.”
“Uh? What, did Deokhun oppa say that?”
Seo Joo-hee looked back at Jang Deok-hun with a smile on her face. Then, as if teasing, he twitched his lips and said.
“Seeing you at school, is it new? Does it look pretty?”
“Uh, um…….”
“Yes? Say it again. Yes?”
Deokhoon Jang answered with an awkward smile.
“… Joo-hee, you and Joo-hwan are brother and sister.”
“Uh? Suddenly?”
“Your expression is the same. Especially when making fun of someone.”
“Eh? Are you saying I’m just like you?”
Seo Joo-hee freaked out and looked to her side of her. Seo Joo-hwan replied with an expression of what he was looking at.
“It is completely different. You are a pig and I am handsome.”
“Who is the pig! And do you know that oppa is getting more and more grumpy?”
“It’s not a joke, it’s the truth, you bitch. And look at your sagging flesh of her. Doesn’t the pig sound?”
“You didn’t get hit?! And how is my body? I am a C cup now.”
“Tsk. You already gained 3 kg this year, right?”
Seo Joo-hee was shocked and surprised. It’s because I actually gained exactly 3 kg.
“What, creepy. How does your brother know that?”
“If you look at it, you pretend, you bitch. Do you think those breasts are really yours? If you gain more height, it’s dangerous, so exercise. Ask Deokhoon to let you know.”
“To Deokhoon oppa?”
Seo Joo-hee looked back at Jang Deok-hun. Deokhun Jang said with a puzzled face.
“Brother Joo-hwan, I have never taught anyone else to exercise.”
“Do a favor. Whose teacher did I take you as a disciple? Ah, since March will be busy with the contest, should we start in April? Good job then! Seokchan, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
“Brother Joo-hwan!?”
Seo Joo-hwan laughed and left. He’s a jerk, you can see that he likes you just by looking at him, but when the hell are you going to date him? As he was walking down the aisle, KakaoTalk came.
– Younger sister: Thank you, older brother. Didn’t you say you’re going to start YouTube soon? I’ll edit the game I played on the broadcast last time and send it to you haha
Seo Joo-hwan smiled. He is the younger brother who knows grace, although he is cocky. He generously gave me one more piece of his advice.
– Me: Come on. In case you didn’t know, you should use contraception.
– Younger brother: You crazy bastard!
The insults came right away.
He giggled and attached a picture.
– B: (Recommended condom size by standard – attached).
– Me: Condoms have sizes like bras. Note ithaha
– Younger brother: You bastard! Stop talking nonsense and go help Suana!
– Me: oops
Seo Joo-hwan sent a reply saying that he would know right away despite the rather unexpected sound. He had already foreseen it, so he knew what had happened.
“Seokchan, let’s go.”
“Ok? Where?”
“To rescue Sua and watch the first graders.”
“Oh, nice to see.”
Lee Seok-chan completely ignored the word rescue.
After a while, Seo Joo-hwan, who went to the first grade classroom, was able to see the expected scene. No, it was more of a spectacle than expected.
In the spacious lecture hall, only one table was full of people.
“Gomi’s real name was Sua!”
“I never thought I would go to the same school as Gomi. Komiya, give me my number!”
“Sua, how tall are you? Really less than one hundred and fifty? Wow, really small. So cute! Sua, my younger sister Hae-ra!”
“My, am I not your sister?”
“Hey, I’m a real fan, get an autograph!”
“Juhee, save me. Where do you go alone…….”
“Sua, have lunch with us… !”
“1st graders, get out of the way. We have to go soon anyway.”
Han Soo-ah was surrounded by people. Outside the circle of women, men were hesitating, and a few second and third year students who arrived later were approaching, beating the first year students by claiming their humble status as seniors.
Lee Seok-chan, who saw the scene, said with a laugh.
“Hey, was Sua like that?”
“That’s nice. 600,000 YouTubers must be more amazing than I thought.”
“Kyaa. 600,000 already? Didn’t you say that it’s only been a year since you started broadcasting?”
“It seems that getting a kill against Hyde in the Rio Champs line not too long ago became a hot topic.”
League of Champions, the most popular AOS game in the world. Hyde is a professional gamer who has been at the peak of his popularity for several years in the League of Champions. And Han Soo-ah got a kill against Hyde a while ago in the lane match. Twice that too! In the end, in the second half of the game, Hyde’s godly control and game management turned the tide of the game, but the fact that he got two kills from the world’s best gamers was enough to make it a topic.
Lee Seok-chan, who heard the explanation, nodded his head as if he understood.
“Then it makes sense to be famous.”
If you have a cute and pretty face like Han Soo-ah, your looks alone are enough to attract popularity. However, since such a girl has tremendous game skills, it was easy to guess the ripple effect.
‘The number of subscribers increased by 100,000 in one week, so I’m done talking.’
It was even continuing to increase in the present progressive form. I think we will probably reach 1 million by the end of this year.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Han Soo-ah surrounded by crowds, thinking that his ‘S-class game talent’ was amazing. And our eyes just met.
“Oh! Hwan’s older brother!”
Han Soo-ah exclaimed happily as if she had found a savior. Naturally, the eyes of the students turned to Seo Joo-hwan. At the same time, the students’ eyes widened in surprise.
Someone shouted
“OMG! Hwan is my older brother!”
“… Ok?”
It was not Han Soo-ah who called him ‘Hwan-i’s brother’, but a female student he had never seen before. The other students follow suit too! And rushed at him with great force.
“Wow! It’s Mr. Hwan!”
“Soldier, right? I wondered if Gomi was there… Is this real?”
“Hwan-nim, the real thing is amazing.”
Seo Joo-hwan raised his hand with a puzzled face.
‘What, what is this.’
At some point, more than half of the students surrounding Han Soo-ah gathered around Seo Ju-hwan. In their mouths, all the names of the stars were coming out, starting with Hwan-i, Hwan-nim, Soldier-hyung, and Hwan-i-oppa. A few people even called him by bizarre titles such as ‘Suk-hyung’ or ‘Sork-oppa’ as if Lee Seok-chan recognized him.
Lee Seok-chan also said with a rare expression of embarrassment.
“Hey, Juhwan. What kind of situation is this?”
“Do you know me?”
As the two looked back at each other, some of the students in the crowd asked.
“What about Hayeon and Neoguri?”
“Where is the good-humored deokhu-hyung?”
Now it turns out that he didn’t just recognize the two of them, he knew the entire party he was traveling with.
In fact, the party, including Seo Ju-hwan, did not know much about themselves, but they were quite famous at alternative universities. This is because the video of her active performance of her at last year’s festival spread, as well as several appearances on Han Sua’s WeTube. In particular, Seo Joo-hwan and Jeong Ha-yeon were more famous than others because they modeled for Swan’s shopping mall last winter.
“I bought clothes at Swan after seeing my brother and sister.”
“Me too. Are the clothes you’re wearing now also from Swan?”
“Joo-hwan-nim, I’m a huge fan. Could you please sign it for me?”
“Uh, uh. It’s not difficult.”
“Me too!”
“Wait me too! Please sign here!”
Some students held out their books. It is a book cover with familiar illustrations drawn on it. It is the barracks life of the master of possession and the regressor he wrote. There was even a recently published Devil Eater.
“Is this my book?”
When he opened his eyes in surprise, the students who held out the books blinked their eyes as if they were rather puzzled.
“Yes, is it the author’s book?”
Students calmly ask what the problem is.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled a little. He thought that no one would recognize that he was ‘Seo-hwan’ because he hadn’t started a live broadcast yet, and he hadn’t even started the above tube…….
‘This was the chulgong department.’
Come to think of it, this was the ‘Public Contents Department’ where people who are interested in books gather. It was only natural that there were people who would recognize that he was ‘Seo-hwan’.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and said with a ticklish feeling.
“Okay, I’ll sign it. Give me the book.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“Can you line up one by one? There, Sua, come next to me too. Let’s just do it once and be done.”
Seo Ju-hwan and Han Soo-ah sat side by side with two desks attached. A brief fan meeting suddenly began.
About 5 minutes to do that.
The front door of the classroom opened and a woman in her mid-thirties entered. Among the faculty, she was the youngest illustration major professor.
She said, frowning at the crowd of her students she had flocked to.
“Everyone go back to their seats. 2nd and 3rd graders don’t go back to their classrooms quickly.”
The short break was over.
Seo Joo-hwan gestured at the students who were disappointed and told them to go back and stood up.
*
At lunchtime, the group headed to a restaurant they often go to. For reference, the lecture time was different from the first year, so Juhee Seo and Sooah Han ate lunch separately.
“I feel tired….”
Jeong Ha-yeon leaned back in her chair and said in a weak voice. She too was harassed by her freshmen.
“I feel like a pseudo-celebrity all of a sudden. Did you do the shopping mall model for nothing?”
Swan’s online shopping mall, which was launched last winter, has gained momentum. I thought she had calmed down, but it seems that she is still thriving every day. Some first graders I’ve never seen before said they wanted to get close to me, and I felt really quick.
“I heard you asked me to model for summer clothes too?”
“Eww. I will not do that.”
“Is Fay that strong?”
“Ugh…….”
The pay that Yoon Seo-ra set for them was higher than the industry standard for her professional models of her. It was an amount that Jeong Ha-yeon, who did not receive any support from her family, could not easily refuse.
Yoo Ji-gyeong walked away.
“If I hadn’t modeled, would it have been similar? Unni, you worked part-time at a billiard room this winter too. At that time, she said she was the goddess of the billiards hall in Anyang, and did you know that her photo was posted on Star Star?”
“What? I’ve never posted a picture like that before? In the first place, I didn’t even do social media.”
“Someone else must have uploaded it without permission, huh?”
“That’s an infringement of portrait rights. Ugh it’s frustrating.”
Jang Deok-hun said while eating a piece of pork cutlet.
“By the way, my brother and sister are fine. Sua is completely tattered.”
“Okay, that was a bit pitiful. I’ll have to avoid Sua for a while.”
“Ji-kyung-ah, is the front and back of the words strange?”
“But it’s annoying. Strangely, he recognized me as well, so it’s very burdensome.”
Yoo Ji-gyeong grumbled as she ate the fried rice. It’s nice to be praised for being pretty, but it was a huge embarrassment for someone seeing you for the first time to pretend to know you.
Lee Seok-chan giggled and pointed at Seo Ju-hwan and Jeong Ha-yeon with chopsticks.
“I don’t know if it’s a state, but you guys think you can solve it?”
“What? How?”
Jeong Ha-yeon showed interest.
Lee Seok-chan shook his hand near my face and said.
“Don’t just accept everything and stay expressionless. You guys have a bad look, so it would be hard to talk to you if you weren’t smiling.”
Jeong Ha-yeon objected.
“Hey, what’s your impression of me?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? You look so fucking impressive. Doesn’t anyone touch you when you’re alone?”
“Ugh.”
Jeong Ha-yeon couldn’t refute. It was only when she joined her party that her juniors actually started talking to her. When she was alone, she would wander around and then go back on her own.
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders, asking if it was necessary.
“It doesn’t matter if I give you a few autographs. They are all my readers.”
“Not all readers? There are a lot of kids who like it because of Sua’s broadcasting and Swan.”
“That’s true, but you’re saying you like me anyway. Rather, it’s a little fun.”
“Tsutsu. This bastard is also secretly a servant.”
“Well. It seems to have a tendency to do that.”
Seo Joo-hwan readily acknowledged it. Even thinking about it myself, I had a tendency to enjoy the attention of others. Whether his personality his has changed or not, he was very happy with the attention that would have been burdensome if it had been before the regression. Of course, if it lasted for a long time, it seemed that it would become more annoying.
“Well, it will be quiet after a while. Isn’t it because it was strange to see it for the first time?”
“I hope so. I’m going to die of boredom.”
“I thought Seok-chan would like you, but it’s surprising.”
Lee Seok-chan shook his head.
“I get tired when I become famous unnecessarily. You notice when you have a meeting or something.”
“Ah.”
I understood and nodded. Then Yu Ji-kyung, who was sitting next to him, whispered softly while hitting Cook’s side with his elbow.
“What does this brother sympathize with? Stab it?”
The fork in Yoo Ji-kyung’s hand flashed. Looking at it now, Jung Ha-yeon’s eyes were also staring at the knife.
Seo Ju-hwan hurriedly waved his hand.
“Oh no, don’t get me wrong. I just nodded in agreement.”
Ha Yeon-ah, that knife was meant to cut pork cutlet, right? It’s scary that the kids seem to be getting more and more aggressive.
Whispered Lucy.
[You should avoid the eyes of Jung Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-kyung. Han Soo-ah is also a problem. They are really troublesome.]
‘… Lucy?’
[It’s a joke.]
Now you’re just playing around with it. When I become a human later on, I really need to educate myself.
Seo Ju-hwan clicked his tongue inwardly and said.
‘I had no intention of touching the first graders anyway.’
[Is that so? Aren’t you interested in freshmen who just turned 20?]
‘No. Not at all.’
Are you twenty years old? No benefit at all First of all, last year he was twenty-three and the girls in his grade he were twenty. It is the same even with Yuji-gyeong. She had no reason to obsess over a twenty-year-old.
‘I took a quick look, but there was no talent I coveted.’
So there was no reason to worry any more. There was a higher possibility that they would be annoyed if they wrongly touched the girls in the same department. I don’t know if they are open-minded kids like Jeong-jeong’s three sisters.
“Here’s the calculation~.”
“Good meal, boss.”
The party paid their bills and headed back to school. Now it was my turn to attend the afternoon lecture.
It was around the end of the boring afternoon lecture, enduring hunger. As soon as the professor left, the front door of the classroom burst open and a man entered. Around this time last year, this is Cho Joong-jun, who sang rap as a duo with Seo Ju-hwan on the MT talent show stage.
After drawing the students’ attention, Jo Gyeong-jun spoke earnestly.
“Guys, help me!”
At first glance, it seemed to be aimed at many people, but the man’s gaze was fixed on Seo Ju-hwan.
Seo Joo-hwan instinctively sensed the annoyance and avoided his gaze.
