Chapter 10 – Episode 10. Enjoy the Honor of Becoming Smile Face’s Number One Fan!(1)
Episode 10. Enjoy the honor of becoming Smile Face’s number one fan!
“Boyun? “I told you not to rest your elbows on the table.”
Song Bo-yoon’s mother, who seemed too elegant to be called a housewife, spoke in a low voice.
Jo Mi-hyeon straightened her back and lifted her chin slightly, cutting a steak with a knife and bringing it to her mouth.
The wine slowly went down her throat.
“You must never commit such rudeness when meeting Seo Jeong-seop. Do you understand, Boyun?”
“… Yes, mother.”
“You’re still uploading it.”
“… Yes.”
Song Bo-yun lowered her elbow and said.
Her appetite plummeted.
Jo Mi-hyeon is too young and well-maintained to be considered a mother, but she neither cooks nor does the dishes herself to be considered a housewife.
All she does is set her menu for her housekeepers and instruct them to make it.
Well, if she had been going to do the cooking herself, she wouldn’t have bothered to marry a middle-aged man.
Even if it’s a chaebol.
“Hmm.”
Song Bo-yoon also didn’t like her food, but perhaps it was the same for Jo Mi-hyeon, so she snorted, put down her knife and fork, and called a housekeeper.
“Do this again. “It’s cooled down.”
I thought it was something he always did when he needed to vent his anger, but today, Song Bo-yoon also understood it.
Jo Mi-hyeon’s father.
Jo Baek-chan was murdered a few weeks ago.
And that was broadcast live on TV.
No matter how estranged she was from her father after marriage, there was no way her daughter could survive with her sanity.
Song Bo-yoon, who did not like her stepmother, sympathized with her feelings on a human-to-human basis.
Rather, it can be said that it has already exceeded human endurance from just complaining about food.
But you still have to say what you have to say.
“Mother.”
“Please speak. Boyun.”
“I don’t want to meet Jeongseop oppa… “I can’t even get the feeling that that person loves me.”
“Boyun.”
Jo Mi-hyeon hit the table.
“How long are you going to act like a spoiled child? It’s not like he doesn’t know that his father’s business is largely related to the GY Group. “You’re going to drink your father’s honey, but you’re not going to be able to provide a little help?”
“… Such a problem…”
“That conversation is already over. Boyun will be engaged to Seo Jeong-seop, the second son of GY Group. I’ve been watching this oppa since I was young. What do I hate so much? “He’s handsome and gentle to that extent, but aren’t his eyes too high?”
“The face is not the problem!”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“Jeongseop oppa doesn’t like me?”
“Love Taryeong. Ha, really. “What a girl!”
Just then, the housekeeper put down a new steak, but Jo Mi-hyeon took it back.
“Again.”
“…”
The eyebrows of the female housekeeper, who appeared to be in her 50s, twitched at first glance, but as expected from someone who had been working for a long time, she did not show any further sign and collected the dishes.
“Boyun. I said it. Love is just a game of hormones. Do you really need to make it even harder for me, who already has a headache because of my father? Just go to the meal table as instructed and show some favor. If you don’t mind cheating later, get married first. “Because that’s what married life is like.”
“…”
Song Bo-yoon could not refute.
It’s not because Jo Mi-hyeon’s words are right, but because I know that if I say one more word, the table will be overturned.
I thought about asking his father for a favor, but he was a pathetic wife who could not live without his young wife.
Only the housekeeper and Song Bo-yoon knew that it was all because of Jo Mi-hyeon’s thorough calculation and ‘play.’
This is why she hated recovery people.
The front and back are different.
I don’t know if Jo Mi-hyeon really thinks nothing of cheating during her marriage like she says, but she is away from her house sometimes.
It doesn’t seem like she has any friends, but looking at that, she might have a lover instead of an old husband.
At the same time, her husband has no charm.
In the world, it is said that those who have been purified by a magical girl’s Bright Crystal have a better character than before they were brainwashed by Paramas.
So was this woman originally a devil?
In front of her father, she fawns over him as a wise mother and good wife, but behind his back, she treats those around her mercilessly.
Of course, my father approved of the engagement, but couldn’t I at least hear about it?
In front of her husband, Jo Mi-hyeon cared for Song Bo-yoon more than the daughter she gave birth to, but when he went to work, she treated him like a spoiled dog.
I couldn’t even imagine it when my mother was alive…
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
“Boyun, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you said today.”
“… Yes.”
In the end, the conversation ended with Song Bo-yoon’s defeat.
As always.
Song Bo-yoon, who scored 0.1% in the national mock test and came in second place in the academy section of the Presidential Group Debate Competition, cannot even say a word in front of her stepmother.
She came up to her room.
“… Pretend you didn’t hear?”
Song Bo-yoon muttered as she closed her door.
White lace curtains fluttered in the wind at the window, and I could see a bed with a pink mattress and a white blanket.
The interior, which would not be strange to call it a princess room, has a large bookshelf and two tables.
One is for studying, and one is a kind of dressing table.
A lady from a chaebol family can become a woman not just by studying well, but also by maintaining a modest appearance and taking care of herself, which is one of the basics, so she was equipped with it from an early age.
I actually started using it within the past few years.
Although she thought that decorating was a natural desire for a woman, she felt suffocated by the excessive duties imposed on her.
What she hated most was her old father, who was unable to move from his wife, who had been brainwashed by Paramas, and her own situation, where she had to enter into an arranged marriage with someone she did not like.
She wanted to join UNAA, or ‘United Nations Forces Against Extraterrestrial Races,’ but her father wanted her to go to a mediocre, prestigious business school.
Fighting Paramas must be fun.
I managed to get into the academy run by B.H., But getting into the university I want is another challenge.
Song Bo-yoon was more excited about her confrontation with the evil empire itself than the magical girl that made her so popular.
Nevertheless, she will become an ordinary office worker.
No, it’s not normal.
After all, she will take over her father’s work.
Maybe that was it for her.
Whether she goes to a department store or to an art performance, she will be assigned a VVIP seat and enjoy the rights of the upper class.
Her life isn’t that bad.
She is not arrogant enough to think that what is given to her is natural, and she is good at discerning things.
“… No, you don’t know that either.”
Jo Mi-hyeon gave birth to one child with her husband.
Although he is young, he is a boy.
If his father lives long, he may become the successor.
To have a headache.
Some parts were too tight, depriving her of freedom, while other parts felt like she was in a fog, making Song Bo-yun feel like she was going crazy.
“Ha, huh…”
Suddenly tears poured out.
There were many things that made her feel wronged and angry, but the one that immediately came to mind was the face of an extremely suspicious villain named Smile Face.
“Ha, I want to join the Spe fan club!”
When she was young, she was so princess-like that she felt repulsed, so she fell down on the bed and pounded the floor with her feet. About 10 minutes later, she got up and sat down at her desk.
I set aside the laptop I used for lectures, which was always under surveillance, and took out and unfolded the laptop I had purchased for surfing.
[Enjoy the honor of becoming Smile Face’s number one fan! We provide the best experience for only 50,000 won in membership fee. The best and biggest event where you can see Smile Face in real life at a luxury hotel for 3 days and 2 nights!]
50,000 won is no problem.
This is not even a daily allowance.
Actually, I don’t receive pocket money on a regular basis like other people, and I tend to spend money only when I need it.
Even if you are not a chaebol, the event that guarantees accommodation at a top-class hotel for 3 days and 2 nights is in fact something that Smile Face is giving to its fans.
Smile Face, who recently publicly murdered Jo Baek-chan and declared that he was the one who killed the recoveries, quickly became a villain even greater than Paramas.
Magical Girl and B.H designated him as their worst enemy through official YouTube and public broadcast interviews.
At first, there seemed to be an attempt to control the media by imposing an embargo considering the impact of Smile Face on people, but now that the Internet has developed, there is no way that would work.
Initially, the video of Jo Baek-chan’s murder was filmed on citizens’ phones and distributed in several versions.
No matter how hard I tried to stop it, it was no use.
The operation was withdrawn.
Instead, it seemed as if they had decided to eliminate the forces trying to follow Smile Face and attack him, and slanderous articles and news poured out from all over.
Paramas also issued a statement saying he had no relationship with him and that his arbitrary punishment of innocent recoveries was unethical.
“It’s suspicious, no matter who sees it!”
Song Bo-yoon is not a bad person.
Her IQ was 167 when she was in middle school, which means she is taller than her current height of 166cm.
If Paramas had no relationship with the Recoverers, why would he bother to attack their murderers?
From their perspective, the restorer is a traitor?
Although the video was deleted some time later, there were many opinions in the community that Smile Face’s claim that the recovered person was not in fact ‘purified’ was correct.
In fact, that was an opinion without much detail.
There are many conspiracy theories surrounding them.
There are recoveries all over the world, and Song Bo-yoon’s stepmother was once a brainwasher.
After Jo Mi-hyeon was purged from the magical girls, she ‘accidentally’ caught the eye of the PR group president and was selected as his scholarship student, and was later adopted as her stepdaughter.
And Jo Baek-chan is a famous recovery person.
Is this really a coincidence?
There must be a connection between recoveries, right?
Is there really Paramas behind it?
Yes, in a way it may be a conspiracy theory.
But what?
Song Bo-yoon was more attracted to the hypothesis that the recoveries were actually villains, and liked the smiley face more than the magical girl.
The first time I discovered her was on a YouTube channel called Scarlet Fox, and even before that, I was a fan of that channel and was watching all of her videos.
However, three days after Spe murdered Jo Baek-chan, he even came ‘in person’ to Scarlet Fox.
Smiling Face, who bravely showed his face and made his point with a hearty smile, was a genius and used a humor that fascinated people.
At the same time, there is something strangely suspicious, ominous, and dangerous about this person! Gave assurance.
The worst villain, dangerous yet charming.
Who hates Speh?
Well, opinions on that are mixed.
Still!
Song Bo-yoon had already fallen in love with him.
His thoughts, appearance, and even the way he speaks!
However, the fact that she likes the man who killed her new maternal grandfather, Jo Baek-chan, is a fact that is difficult to reveal, no matter how much she hates her stepmother.
“But I still want to go to the fan club! Haaaaa…”
Song Bo-yoon, lying down on the bed, closed his laptop and checked his mailbox through the pad.
Surprisingly, the ‘invitation’ that arrived via unrepliable email was obtained after beating the competition rate of 500,000:1.
He said that he valued fairness, but because of Smile Face’s policy of prohibiting the buying and selling of votes by paying a premium, he was selected purely by luck.
It seemed like scalping was happening occasionally, so she looked for it, but for some reason, the purchase page quickly disappeared.
I don’t know if it’s simply because they sold out quickly, or because, as Smile Face said, they ‘didn’t forgive’ those who sold ticket scalpers.
In any case, it was a difficult ticket to get, but unfortunately, Song Bo-yoon, an active high school girl, had little time.
However, in an ambiguous situation where her vote could not be canceled, she found a ray of hope.
[I will move the time zone. There are many people who say they cannot attend on weekdays, so we are moving to the weekend.]
Where can you find a villain who gives convenience like this?
As expected, Spe was not a villain but an angel.
However, Song Bo-yoon was frustrated again.
At the moved date and time, a meal was arranged with GY Group’s Seo Jeong-seop.
It was also an important event where her parents were present and it virtually decided the engagement, so she could not refuse.
Again, no miracle occurred.
In three days from now, Smile Face’s banquet will begin for fans who have made a deposit.
“… I really hate it. “I don’t want to give up.”
Song Bo-yoon clenched her fists.
Even though she was placed in an unreasonable situation, she did not neglect the responsibilities given to her.
Although she was dissatisfied with her father’s insistence on dressing, decorating, and smiling like a princess, she obeyed, despite her secretly childish temperament.
While cultivating the hobbies and culture of a wealthy girl, such as horseback riding and classical music, she almost always lived up to the burdensome demands of always being on top of her grades.
Since her elementary school days, no matter how far she has fallen, she has never been ranked outside of the top 5 in the school.
Even more so, what about her ‘own goal’?
“… Smile Face is mine. You can never miss it. “If you miss it this time, you’ll really regret it.”
Finally, Song Bo-yoon made a decision.
She decided to run away from home for the first time in her life.
She was even worried that because of this, her family would treat her like a child, but she still wanted to take on the challenge of her life.

“…Songhee?”
“Yes.”
“I think those are magical girls.”
“I see.”
“I see, it’s not. I’m not being too casual. Also, did you confirm what I asked you to do?”
“Yes, Mr. Dojin. Not only were there magical girls, but as expected, there was a huge influx of recoveries. “I tried to filter it out, but I think it was the scalper’s side…”
“Ha, even if you are Song Hee, you can’t control the influx of ticket scalpers at the same time.”
“…”
“It’s not Songhee’s fault. But it’s difficult. Really. What is it about me that makes them so good? It’s not that I don’t understand, but it’s difficult…”
As for the ‘1st Smile Face Fan Club’, it was good that the venue for the banquet was changed from a hotel to a large cruise ship, but there were still problems.
I had no idea that the magical girls and Paramas gang would infiltrate and claim to be my fan club.
… Actually, I expected it to some extent.
It’s only natural since it attracted so much aggro.
So, I asked Choi Song-hee to filter them out, but it seems that she probably expected that, or purchased tickets through a fabricated identity or proxy participation.
“What should we do, boss?”
Choi Song-hee is speaking to me via wireless contact because she hates coming out of the secret lab.
Her monotonous, calm, and cool voice came through the device deeply inserted into her ear.
“Ha, I don’t know.”
I thought for a moment and said.
“First of all, we filter them out before they board the ship.”
After filtering out magical girls and recoveries, and gathering my pure fans, I announce the formation of a fan club.
This in itself may seem like the work of a childish fanatic, but as a result, I am aiming for something else.
If they see a villain trying to expand their power, both the Magical Girl and Paramas factions will be wary of me.
‘Is he getting more and more dangerous?’
As I gain popularity, my remarks will have a greater impact, and if I get involved in policy, it will become difficult to endure without killing me.
I don’t know if I’ll become president at this rate.
I laughed out loud, dreaming a fantasy that could never come true.
