EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school - Chapter 804

It’s been a while since the Tiger Clan came together like this, but Kim Shinrok could hardly enjoy himself.

His mind seems full of thoughts about the crisis that faced Sung Gukeon and what the response to it should be.

It wasn’t easy the first time Jo Euishin asked Hwangho and Kim Shinrok to contact Sung Gukeon as the Tiger Clan.

‘I’m in contact with Student Sung Gukeon to cooperate, so I should…’

Why did Sung Gukeon have to go through so many crises?

There’s a sense of urgency to take action, and Kim Shinrok felt ashamed for being hesitant.

His heart felt heavier thinking that the Tiger Clan couldn’t easily make decisions because of him.

‘There’s no time. Jo Euishin-gun told me to make up my mind at least a month in advance.’

Jo Euishin said that if Kim Shinrok isn’t ready by then, he will personally contact Sung Gukeon and Jeon Muyeong for Replay.

Hearing the word “replay” made his heart sink.

Replay starts during the practical test in December, and those two are bound to die in May the year after that.

That means they will experience a nightmare lasting about a year and a half.

He was worried, especially since he saw how confused Jeokho and Yong Jegun were after theirs, which was a year long.

He knew it was necessary, but it can’t be helped that the teacher’s heart aches.

Amid the dilemma, a message from Yong Jegun made him even dizzier.

[Yong] You’re at the park with your family. Have un ^^

Kim Shinrok came along for extra security, but Yong Jegun is insinuating that it’s a family trip.

The truth is that the tigers were worried that Kim Shinrok wouldn’t come if they didn’t use that excuse, but, indeed, he was there as a family.

Yong Jegun kept scratching at him.

[Yong] Wanna go with me next time?

[Yong] Or you can go with your students too. Like Gukeon or something. ^^

Kim Shinrok didn’t say anything to Yong Jegun, but the latter had a way with things.

Yong Jegun eventually noticed that Sung Gukeon was at the center of Kim Shinrok’s worries, which prompted him to annoy the latter.

Kim Shinrok found him annoying but he decided not to push back.

“Son, let’s ride that one next time.”

Kim Shinrok closed the hologram window when he heard Jeokho’s voice.

Coming to an amusement park with his son for the first time, Jeokho was very excited.

Although Kim Shinrok didn’t know that his father wanted to relieve his stress and to spend time with him, he was happy to see Jeokho happy.

Jeokho spoke kindly to Kim Shinrok.

“Whatever you choose, I’m always on your side.”

To have someone behind you no matter what.

Kim Shinrok still felt sorry for Jeokho and so he couldn’t accept that truth easily, but the words gave him courage.

With his heart now a little lighter, Kim Shinrok and Jeokho walked together.

* * *

Amusement parks give the fun of waiting, walking, and watching things while moving between lines, but the descendants wanted to enjoy all the attractions quickly.

They could get on whatever they wanted since we were the only ones here, and the time spent moving between attractions was shortened thanks to their abilities.

Among the descendants, Eun Jaeho was the first to get tired and slowed down.

“Hahahaha! You must be tired. Come with this body.”

Before I could step up, Hwang Jiho took Eun Jaeho’s hand and flew away.

Eun Jaeho laughed out loud, having fun despite being flustered at the high speed.

Eun Seoho and Eun Iho followed them.

‘They’re excited.’

I think Hwang Jiho’s more excited than the descendants.

Is he happy that the descendants are loving it?

It’s like seeing a busy father, who can’t spend much time with his family, finally get a day off work.

Well, even if it’s a metaphor, I don’t think it’s wrong.

After going around all the attractions at once, we ate lunch that Hwang Jiho prepared.

The lunch boxes decorated with golden tigers were full of colorful side dishes, and the main menu was Kimbap.

He stuck with the tiger concept as he gave each tiger a kimbap that represented their color.

Hwang Jiho’s kimbap had lots of egg, Baekho-gun’s had lots of white rice, and Jeokho’s had stir-fried red pepper.

Unusual ingredients at first glance, but it tasted amazing at first bite.

‘The bread with the grape jam is for Cheongho, right?’

The symbolism and taste of the food were exquisite.

Hwang Jiho, with a triumphant face, said that this is only basic.

The old man seems to be feeling great.

After lunch, we continued visiting attractions in the afternoon.

Then, we reached the front of the Ferris wheel.

Only four people can ride in one wagon, so we decided the groups fairly through lots.

As a result, I got to ride with Eun Seoho and my angel Olmu.

‘I get to ride with my angel today, I’m so lucky!’

Woof woof!

The angel jumped on first, showing his genius while moving ahead.

As I walked along, I heard something in the background.

“Jo Euishin’s mind isn’t in the right place right now, so make sure you take care of him.”

“Yes, Hwangho-nim!”

I am a bit foolish today, but I can’t believe he’s entrusting me to a kid younger than me.

But today is a good day, so I decided to let it pass.

I sat next to the angel and he naturally moved to sit on my knee.

As the Ferris wheel moved and our view increased, I really felt like I was going up to the sky with an angel.

“Euishin hyung, I wanted to ask you something.”

Before the Ferris wheel reached its peak, Eun Seoho, who was quietly looking out the window, spoke to me.

He could’ve asked me anything anytime, but why now?

Eun Seoho continued to speak as I petted the angel.

“It’s about the kid named Cheon Eunha in our class. He’s the best student this year… Do you two know each other?”

I came to my senses, my hands stopping without me realizing.

I felt nervous as Eun Seoho suddenly asked me about Eunho.

I couldn’t determine how much I could say, so I decided to only reveal the superficial.

“I got to know him. He’s Cheon Dongha sunbaenim’s brother, and he recently joined the newspaper department.”

“I knew it, you two knew each other! When that kid sometimes, no, always talk about his hyung, it feels like he’s talking about you, Euishin hyung.”

What in the world is Eunho saying to his classmates?

Is it to stick with the concept that got him into Class Zero?

He could’ve just talked about Cheon Dongha, why does he need to talk about me?

No, perhaps Eun Seoho just misunderstood.

“I lost the position as best student to Eunha, so I consider him a rival. Eunha and I are in the same class, and now I’m the class president, and he’s the vice president.”

Eun Seoho must have been thinking about Cheon Eunha a lot.

However, I felt unsure of what to do when Eun Seoho called his grandfather that way.

I felt like letting out a huge sigh.

If Eun Seoho were looking at me instead of the window, he might have noticed that I was acting weird.

I tried to control my mind by petting the angel in my arms.

“I want to be close with Eunha. Iho wants that too.”

The words almost shook my heart again.

There are a lot of people of royal lineage who care about Eunho’s descendants, but blood relations must really come strong.

Even if they can’t detect his true name and don’t know the truth, perhaps their blood pushes for them to get closer.

Even though they think of Eunho as their rival, I felt proud that they still wanted to get close to him.

‘But I don’t think Eunho wants that…’

As expected, Eun Seoho spoke without energy on his face.

“But somehow, it’s hard to get close to him. He responds softly when I talk to him, but no matter how much I try, I don’t feel like we’re getting close.”

Whimper…

Olmu also comforted Eun Seoho with a low voice, perhaps feeling sorry for the child.

Eun Seoho kept looking outside the window, and before I knew it, the Ferris wheel was going down.

“Euishin hyung, you’re close with Eunha. What can I do to get closer to him?”

I remembered Eunho from when he was Cheon Sungheon.

He was friendly and could get close to anyone.

It would be right to say that he approached people well.

Eunho today is different from then, but perhaps his nature hasn’t changed.

He’s probably just reluctant to get close because they’re his grandchildren.

After much thought, I could only give a pathetic answer.

“Maybe time will solve it?”

The reality that Eunho, who woke up after a long time of sleeping, has to deal with so many heavy matters makes me think that he just needs more time.

It was an obvious and unhelpful thing to say, but Eun Seoho happily accepted it.

“Time… We’ll get close if we continue attending school, right? Eunha will stay in Class Zero, I’m sure!”

Eun Seoho was optimistic as he thought about their future in Class Zero.

He said he wanted to come here for a picnic with his classmates, and I’m sure the class will be satisfied with their president’s plan.

‘Vice President Eunho will like it too, but he’d have to go with them.’

Eunho is smart and wise, but when it comes to the relationship with his grandchildren, his wisdom bites him back.

I promised to help Eun Seoho plan the picnic as we got off the Ferris wheel, his face much brighter than when we got on the ride.

It felt like we only spent a short amount of time, but the sky was already dark.

At night, colorful lights covered the theme park and created a different atmosphere.

The descendants continued with their tour, choosing attractions to enjoy the night view.

When we returned to the tiger’s mansion, the night was already deep.

‘I missed the timing to go back to my dorm. The descendants were having so much fun I couldn’t leave them alone.’

Thankfully, I’m not the only one caught.

It looks like Kim Shinrok is going to sleep at the mansion too.

Looking at Kim Shinrok’s expression as he drank tea next to Jeokho, I felt relieved.

Hwang Jiho put down his teacup and said,

“Jo Euishin, you don’t seem to be sleepy yet. That’s good. Yours truly have something to say about a promise.”

A promise with Hwang Jiho?

It didn’t come to mind immediately, but the current time reminded me.

“You’re talking about the April Fool’s joke.”

Hwang Jiho smiled with satisfaction.
