EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 789

Do Wonwoo’s secretary pretended to receive a phone call and excused himself.

He might’ve not heard the secretary, but Do Wonwoo didn’t respond much even after they left.

I should leave too.

I’m perfectly hidden right now, but leaving them alone is more polite.

It’s best to move quickly because if I use Time Without Shadow for too long, my available light skill time would be greatly reduced.

But I couldn’t move.

‘What if those two fall apart even more?’

Yoo Sanghee is not cruel, but considering Do Wonwoo’s condition, it’s highly likely that he would collapse from just a small matter.

No, maybe I’m just overly concerned.

But the worries in my mind weighed too much and I couldn’t lift my feet.

If I hear all the details here, maybe there’s something I could do later on.

After much thought, I decided to stay.

“I didn’t expect you to leave right after taking one photo with the Student Association kids. I thought you’d take more with the teachers and the other kids, but Myungsoo said you were getting ready to head home.”

“…Are you here for Student Association matters?”

“Your juniors were disappointed. Yuri and Dain were busy dealing with Kihwan, you know? There are lots of people who couldn’t greet you.”

Do Wonwoo must’ve left the ceremony early.

It’s no exaggeration to say that he received the most awards among the graduates, hence he’s the de facto main character.

Yet he left without saying goodbye properly.

The TC Group is a big deal, but Do Wonwoo’s father, the company’s next president, is a decent person.

There’s no way he gave Do Wonwoo lots of work to do on his graduation.

Nevertheless, if he left like that, I could really feel him trying to move forward without lingering feelings, just as he said during his speech.

“I couldn’t greet you either.”

Do Wonwoo’s complexion paled at Yoo Sanghee’s words.

Is Yoo Sanghee here to congratulate Do Wonwoo?

As if he didn’t want to hear it, Do Wonwoo clenched his fist firmly.

Yoo Sanghee took notice of it, tilting her head down before looking back at his face.

Her hair shook a little from the movement of her head, and Do Wonwoo couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Even with that face, you don’t say anything to me anymore.”

Do Wonwoo closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, it was as if he had come to his senses.

His face remained cool, his expression one of a former student representative.

“Sorry. I couldn’t think of what to say.”

Impossible.

Now that Yoo Sanghee is in front of him, he must have a lot of things in mind.

But he chose to remain silent because he didn’t know how much he could say.

Yoo Sanghee spoke while Do Wonwoo tried to hide his expression.

“Before, I can always see the simple and ugly things in your mind, Wonwoo-yah. But since the day at the research institute, I can’t seem to know what you’re thinking.”

“I’m sorry. I thought you didn’t want an apology so I didn’t give on. In the past, to you I was…”

“I’m not here for an apology. I just really don’t know what you’re thinking these days.”

Yoo Sanghee cut off Do Wonwoo’s apologies, while explicitly calling him sleazy.

Even I, who had obvious biases towards my playable characters, agree with her, so I guess it’s true.

“Just like you didn’t know me, I must’ve not known you too, Wonwoo-yah.”

How can two people know each other well?

Even Yong Jegun and Kim Shinrok who have been friends for five thousand years still don’t know each other completely.

But then, Do Wonwoo knows Yoo Sanghee’s situation and her feelings, while Yoo Sanghee calmly knows that she doesn’t know what’s going on.

However, Yoo Sanghee was not at all at fault.

As for Do Wonwoo, maybe a little.

Because he prioritized himself, not Yoo Sanghee’s distress.

‘Do Wonwoo must be more aware of this than I am.’

Do Wonwoo’s wall was wavering, but his fists were clenched even tighter.

The affection, guilt, and regret that he pushed down seemed to be running wild under his skin.

Yoo Sanghee stared at him, observing to see what kind of person the Do Wonwoo in front of her was, not the ugly and simple classmate that she knew.

“Wonwoo-yah, since the graduation ceremony is over, how about going on a d—”

As soon as I heard that, the words that Joo Soohyuk said earlier came to mind.

Does Yoo Sanghee want a duel with Do Wonwoo?

If so, Do Wonwoo would be helpless against her.

He won’t dodge her attacks, let alone counter.

When Yoo Sanghee would launch daggers at him back then, Do Wonwoo would always get hit even though he could avoid the attacks.

It’s not that I don’t understand why Yoo Sanghee would want to beat Do Wonwoo before the end of their graduation day, but should I lift my disguise, pretend that I’m here by chance, and stop them?

While several thoughts ran through my head, Yoo Sanghee continued.

“Let’s go on a date.”

I didn’t understand.

Did I hear that correctly?

Wait, maybe I didn’t because I was distracted.

Do Wonwoo’s poker face collapsed, as if he heard the same thing.

The expression was now neither ugly nor student-representative-like.

“Just like you didn’t know me, I didn’t know you too, Wonwoo. But I want to know you. What do you think?”

“Of course I…!”

“Of course?”

Do Wonwoo couldn’t respond honestly when Yoo Sanghee asked again candidly.

All this time, Do Wonwoo’s ugly expressions have always been because of his obvious honesty.

Anyone can have sleazy feelings, but it takes skill to know how to hide them and restrain oneself.

The lovestruck Do Wonwoo, though, has never been good at it.

After much thought, Do Wonwoo interpreted Yoo Sanghee’s intentions in his own way.

He seems to think that Yoo Sanghee wanted revenge.

“Sanghee-yah, if you have piled up emotions that you want to get rid of, choose a different way to get rid of them instead of wasting your time. Even if you don’t do it like that, I…”

“I’m asking to get to know you since I want to know what I’m feeling. I don’t think it’s a waste of time to find out.”

Do Wonwoo shut his mouth and accepted the reality.

Indeed, Yoo Sanghee was asking for a date to get to know him.

Yoo Sanghee didn’t explicitly say that she liked him or ask him to be in a relationship, but this is an opportunity.

The relationship that I thought would end was about to begin again, this time in a different direction.

Do Wonwoo was still unable to respond, but Yoo Sanghee saw the shade of pink on his cheeks and took it as an answer.

Yoo Sanghee smiled.

“I wanna be wearing our uniforms on our date, so let’s go today. Ah, before that, let’s take pictures with the professors and our juniors first.”

They are adults now, and although they can still wear them, it’s a whole different feeling going on dates as a student and wearing uniforms.

Today is the last day that they can go on a date as Eungwang High students, wearing Eungwang High uniforms.

After Yoo Sanghee’s words, Do Wonwoo immediately called his secretary to change his schedule.

After the secretary left, Yoo Sanghee asked.

“You had plans. Is it an important schedule?”

“No.”

Do Wonwoo affirmed.

“It’s not more important than you.”

For the first time in a while, Do Wonwoo smiled brightly.

He looked several times gentler and happier than his sleazy days.

His transformation made me happy too.

‘I shouldn’t have worried.’

I felt guilty overhearing their whole conversation, but I had no regrets.

I can’t believe I got to witness a scene like this!

I was thrilled by my overwhelming luck.

The two stood side by side as they left the parking lot.

I just hope that the two of them will have great conversations to get to know each other.

I chose a different entrance so I wouldn’t run to them.

While walking, I found a familiar face.

“…”

Yoo Sanghoon was nervously looking at the parking lot, behind him were a smiling Jang Namwook and a twitching Do Shihoo.

I immediately deactivated my light skill.

“Gah! That surprised me.”

“Euishin-ah! You were here too. Where did you come from? Were you using a hiding skill? Your level must’ve gone really high. I couldn’t feel you at all.”

Do Shihoo and Do Wonwoo immediately greeted me when I suddenly appeared, but Yoo Sanghoon kept silent with a grim face.

He must’ve seen something that made the spark inside him turn into a complete forest fire.

“I couldn’t say hello since they looked like they were talking about something important, but I saw Yoo Sanghee sunbaenim and Do Wonwoo sunbaenim.”

“…The two of them were together?”

“Yeah, they went out through the other exit. I think they’re going to go back and take more pictures.”

“…The two of them went in together?”

Yoo Sanghoon’s mood hit the bottom when I nodded.

Is this the cause of his bad mood?

I’d understand if he took notice of Yoo Sanghee’s intention to get to know Do Wonwoo.

Yoo Sanghoon may not have heard everything, but he knows to an extent.

“Aish… Of all people, why with that bastard…”

They’re not officially in a relationship yet, so I don’t think he needs to take it this seriously.

Many people don’t pursue a relationship after dating.

At that time, Do Shihoo tactlessly made a fuss.

“Woah, if Wonwoo hyung and Sanghee noona get married, we’ll be in-laws!”

Marriage between my playable characters!

The mere thought of it made my heart pound.

If there’s going to be a wedding ceremony, I hope there are two.

That way I can attend once as a groom’s guest, and another as the bride’s guest.

Wait, no, that’s not the point.

If the two of them get married, Do Shihoo and Yoo Sanghoon would really become in-laws.

Do Shihoo was right, but…

“Jang Namwook.”

“Yeah, got it.”

Hit!

Not many words were exchanged, but Jang Namwook understood Yoo Sanghoon’s intention and immediately sent a fist flying toward Do Shihoo.

The clean jab hit him right in the face.

Despite being hit though, Do Shihoo’s spirit remained high.

That guy must really like Do Wonwoo.

* * *

After the graduation ceremony ended safely.

I gave out all the flowers I had prepared to the seniors, and I also took some pictures.

It was refreshing to have Woo Kihwan’s group out of the school, but it was a little sad that the other seniors are leaving.

‘But that vacancy will be filled soon.’

The hot topic among Eungwang High students was already the freshmen who were about to be admitted.

While preparing for the entrance ceremony, Hwang Jiho said,

“It’s been a long time since a top student entered Class Zero. Maybe the first since Sung Gukeon.”

Class Zero was always full of excellent students, but the valedictorians came from other classes.

Last year, the top three students overall were from somewhere other than Class Zero.

However, this year, a top student came from Class Zero.

Hearing Hwang Jiho’s words reminded me of Eun Seoho and Eun Iho who are about to enter Class Zero as freshmen, both aiming for the top spot.

But the reality was harsh.

“I’m just guessing, but the top student from the freshman class is sure to be Cheon Eunha. I want him to lead the oathtaking ceremony for freshmen.”

Hearing that reminded me of Cheon Sungheon taking a similar role in the past.

Eunho will be the one leading the oath again this time.
