Chapter 467 – Isolation #2

“The agency said Stella’s health wasn’t good… Are you okay now?”

To the radio MC’s kind question, Stella answered with a smile.

“Yes. It has improved a lot.”

“That’s fortunate. Rosemary’s worries were not the only ones.”

“I want to tell you that I am sorry. I have no face.”

“Since you came out like this, the fans will understand. By the way, Mr. Stella.”

“Yes?”

“Your image seems to have… Changed?”

At those words, Stella touched her face.
Then she asked politely.

“What do you think has changed?”

“Umm… It seems strangely sharp… Did you put on a new makeup today?”

“Right! I tried eyeliner differently than usual. Did you catch it well?”

Haha! I do have a bit of an eye for it. By the way, I know that a new song will be released soon, but simply…….”

Even though there are many lines outside of the script, he answers well.
Even though she has a busy schedule from morning to evening, she never loses her smile on her face.

It’s heaven Will she want to continue her singer life even after she falls?
If she wants to show herself to her audience hey what…
I have to let you do that.

Stella and the MC talked a lot over the course of an hour.
Stella finished the radio by singing a snippet of a new song. She came out of the waiting room, greeted all the staff as usual, and then she stood in front of me.

I said, wrapping her thick cardigan around her.

“Good work.”

“Yes.”

Stella, who nodded her head in the same calm manner as usual, moved to the car with me.
And she checked her cell phone there.

-Ah…! Cheap…!

Alex’s excited voice came through the speaker.
I asked after starting the car.

“What do you mean by that?”

Stella frowned at him and tossed her phone into her bag.

“In a place like a massage bed… A woman… More, I’m not going to talk about it because it’s dirty.”

If it’s a massage bed, it’s not like they’re having sex.
I said I snorted at her peek.

“Does it make you feel bad just looking at it? Let’s go home and rest.”

“Yeah… Do you have a schedule for tomorrow?”

“All you have to do is practice for three hours at Boyoung’s sister’s house.”

“Okay…”

Stella’s expression looked a little relieved as she leaned back against her backrest.
It was a strange reaction for someone who had just seen the invisible.

“Why is your expression so good?”

“I’m relieved of something…”

“What?”

“You don’t have to feed Alex. There’s less laundry…”

Was it for that reason?
Stella has also… Changed a lot.

I went home with a smirk at Stella, who dismissed her sister’s food, clothing, and shelter as an annoyance.

-Hello, Dr. Cathy. The material you sent me last time was well received. I want to say thank you.

Seeing David Herschel’s courteous demeanor displayed on the screen, the doctor smiled benevolently.

“He was such a nice and passionate kid. I have a good mindset as a scientist.”

At the mention of Charlotte, Herschel’s lips went up slightly.

-I’m glad you liked it. He honestly had no idea he would give you three skills.

“I didn’t know either. As I was teaching, I wanted to learn more. The next tangent will also be with Charlotte Clark. I hope she will be treated especially well, lest she fall under the influence of old, boring scientists.”

-Of course. I hate to say this, but to be honest… We’re hoping that Charlotte will do a good job as a mediator between Command and HQ. It means she’s judging Charlotte as her significant other.

“She must be Ojakgyo, not a mediator. We didn’t fight.”

Haha! Yes. That’s right. Shall we discuss the next tangent date?

“Yes, I like it.”

After talking with Hershel in a friendly atmosphere, the doctor ended his communication.

“How is Stella?”

“Soon.”

“What should we do?”

“Just do what you normally do. When the change is over, treat me well.”

“Yea, I got it.”

It’s better to treat them like normal than to make a fuss.
At least in Stella’s case.

I looked at Marcella, who sat discreetly in my seat.
She was always at the secret base, and her expression was very nice, perhaps because she thought she was lucky that she didn’t have to notice anymore.

After giving her a smile, I went to Boyoung’s house after talking with her about her doctor and her headquarters.

Ding-dong-!

Not long after I rang the doorbell, the door opened and Boyoung in dolphin pants greeted me.

“Are you here?”

She who honors her with her small voice.
I asked after shaking her head once.

“What about Stella?”

“I’m practicing alone in my room.”

“Did anything strange happen today?”

“Um… He was staring at me with a confused look on his face.”

You sensed the demonic spirit inherent in Boyoung’s body.
He had shown signs of this before, but he seemed to feel it right when he came to the brink of corruption.

“I get it.”

I went inside Boyoung’s house and sat on the sofa, and I smiled when Stella came out about 10 minutes later.

“Brother! When did you come?”

Seeing that I didn’t hear it even though I pressed the doorbell, it must be that the soundproofing of the practice room made separately in the room is terrible.
I got up from my seat and answered.

“Just now. Let’s go in quickly.”

“Yeah… Sister, I’ll go…!”

Stella bows her upper body toward Bo-young.
Is it time to slowly change that position?
I can’t wait to see how kind Stella will react.

After I left Boyoung’s house and got into her elevator, I perked up at Stella’s question as she was touching her own bangs.

“Brother. Didn’t Boyoung feel strange about her sister?”

“Feels strange? Which?”

“No… Nothing…”

Stella’s head tilted.
A puzzling look.
You’ll realize it naturally now, but I’ll have to pay close attention so I don’t get shocked.

@@

Two days after letting Alex go.
He passed the time enjoying the freedom he had gained for the first time in a long time without an accident.
Meet schoolmates who were involved in criminal organizations and find out about the circumstances, or engage in prostitution at night.

Since she didn’t do anything big, Stella, who had a bored expression on her face, tried to put her phone away.
However,

-How much is it?

Alex narrowed his eyes as Alex went to the mart near the business hotel and set things down on the counter.
It was because there was a hammer among the various foods.

What are you trying to do with that?
I don’t know what it is, but I keep having bad thoughts.

“…..”

Stella gnawed his fingernails with a serious look on her face and watched Alex silently.
After paying the bills, he stopped at his hotel room, threw down some food, put the hammer in his pocket, and came out right away.
After that, we got into a taxi and started heading somewhere.

At the end of about 20 minutes, the place where the taxi got off was an officetel.
The officetel where he is currently living with Jihyeok.

‘No way…’

He would have thought he would beg for forgiveness if he had just come naked, but… Alex picked up a weapon.
That means only one thing.
He was aiming for Jihyeok.

Alex went to the underground parking lot with a hammer in his hand, headed for a dedicated parking spot that Ji-hyeok often used, and hid against the wall there.
Stella’s mouth gaped when she saw it.

‘When did you find out about that…?’

Jumping up from the sofa, she tried to contact Ji-hyeok, who was on her way from her headquarters.
But soon I changed my mind.

She thought it would be better for her to stop Alex first and then tell Ji-hyeok.
She said that side would be good for Ji-hyeok and herself…

‘Great.’

After making a quick decision, Stella touched the device twice.

Fuhuaak-!

After transforming with a more terrifying aura than usual, she opened her window and jumped out, reducing her aura to a minimum.
At that time,

Booooong…

Coincidentally, Jihyeok’s car was quietly pulling into the parking lot.
Stella, who saw the tail end enter, hurriedly descended from the air and entered the parking lot.
Then, hiding all the blades of her whip, she, without hesitation, slashed her whip at the pole where Alex was hiding.

Wedge-!

The whip, which flew through the air with great force, moved gracefully like a living creature with a will.
And Stella, dodging her pole, felt a heavy touch from the tip of her vertically bent whip.

“Gagging…!”

Turong-!

At the same time, the sound of choking and the sound of something heavy falling came from behind the pillar.
Relieved that Alex was caught, Stella tightened her right hand and pulled her behind her.

Kudang!

Then Alex, who had lost her balance and fell, was dragged forward.
He struggled to untie the whip from around his neck, his eyes wide open as if he had no idea what was going on.

Kwaaaaak-!

Stella tugged at her whip even more, mercilessly clamping it around Alex’s throat.

“Heh heh… Heh…”

His eyes turned upside down as he made a sound of air escaping from his mouth.
He struggled with his face reddening in an instant, but soon he let go of his whole body and dropped his head.

Stella looked down coldly at her distraught brother and let go of his whip.
I didn’t even expect it to change, so the disappointment is less than before.

But I was angry.
To his brother who was unable to save him, and to himself who had been trying so hard to save him.

‘It’s over now.’

Even though he didn’t push his back and rather stabilized him, Alex couldn’t overcome his hatred and got into an accident.
My relationship with him is now completely over.

Thinking so made me feel relieved.
However, as much as he was a younger brother who had been together for 20 years, the feeling of grunting was greater.
He was afraid of himself because he could easily break the kite.

Siwon Seob.
I think it can be expressed in one word. What emotions are you feeling right now?

Rattle!

The sound of a car door opening came from behind her, and Stella undid her transformation and turned her body around.

Tboob. Tboob.
The expression of Jihyeok, who was slowly approaching him, was calm without any surprise.

“It ended up like this.”

Her tone of voice seemed to know everything about Ji-hyeok, who had come right up to her.
Stella, her shoulders drooping, replied.

“Yes…”

I feel my heart tingle right now, but I’m not sure if this feels good or unpleasant.
But one thing was certain.
It means that you have made up your mind.
Very clearly.

“Okay, I’ll take you up, so go in first.”

Stella, who heard Ji-hyeok’s emotionless voice, shook her head slowly and left the parking lot.
