Chapter 19 – Hey Seoha, You Waited

“My name is Seoha Lee. I am 20 years old. I passed the entrance exam for S University, but gave up admission due to awakening of my abilities and entered Cheonghwa Academy.”

I put my hat on again and recited the information I knew about Lee Seo-ha to the old man.
To think that he asked for his information to an agency.
It really can’t be that funny.

‘It’s a phone, it’s an email, and there’s nothing personal about it.’

I couldn’t find anything about Lee Seo-ha in my room, so I had no other options.
It is basic that the phone or laptop is pushed cleanly.
There were no accounts left in the name of Lee Seo-ha, such as mail, social media, and internet shopping malls.

“Lee Seo-ha?”
“The only thing I know other than that is that he has a pretty big background, whether it’s a conglomerate or not.”
“Hmm, guys with something big behind them are annoying to dig up information.”

I let out a small sigh as I looked at the old man telling me to give him the money.
Although I set it that way.
It’s like a nobleman who really reveals money.

“One thousand as an advance payment.”

But that’s why I came to this agency without hesitation.
I knew it because I lived with a lot of Lee Seo-ha, so that money rotted away roughly.
Those who like money are saying that it is enough to solve it with money.

“Cloth?”
“If you complete it to my liking, 2,000 more.”
“Hmm. Should I accept this or not?”
“If you don’t like it, quit. Even if you’re not there, there are a lot of people to entrust you with.”

So, the total amount of 3,000 will never be given up from their point of view.

“The young lady is quite impatient.”
“I will, I will.”
“But, seeing that the asking price is quite large, don’t you think he’s easygoing?”

As if the old man was gradually interested, his gaze gradually began to change seriously.
Not thinking about how to use me to extract money, but with eyes that seemed to focus on the request itself.

“The deadline is two weeks.”
“2 weeks?”
“Find out everything about Lee Seo-ha in it. What is his… Family relationship, what exactly is behind him, what kind of life he has lived, and so on.”
“Hmm, two weeks…”

Preliminary investigations on the mystery agency, which I did to write the work.
The knowledge I had accumulated then was helping me not to get caught up here and now.
It seems like the money I called for is too much.

‘How much was there in his bank account?’

Anyway, when I recalled the absurd amount of money piled up in Seoha Lee’s bank account, I could easily give that much.

“Looking at the amount, two weeks seems a bit difficult.”
“If you don’t want to do it, quit.”

And that inspiration setting is a man who can smell the smell of money.
Seoha Lee would never want to miss it.

“Let’s try it. But the deadline is a bit short, so it may not come out as much information as you want.”
“We’ll talk about that then, and then you’ll know we’re going to proceed.”

That must be the reason why the four tall people surrounding me remain still even after seeing me squeak and squeak.
To them, my value now seems very high.

“It’s good that the young lady is polite, even if she doesn’t behave like the guy who came first.”
“The one who came first?”
“The young guy with no money was just acting like a guest.”

…No way.

“That guy who came first, has gray hair?”
“Is he someone you know?”
“If it’s gray hair, maybe.”

You said you were already here?
Although the behavior he is seeing now is a bit different from the 3rd episode of the original work.
Are you saying it’s different here?

“It’s such a small world.”

My head started hurting from the actions of the guy who jumped out of a completely unexpected place.
Although I thought it would make a difference where I didn’t know.
This part will be different from the original…

“See you in two weeks.”

He said that and got up.
“You can send the money here,” He said, taking out his phone and depositing money into the president’s bank account on the spot.

“One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten thousand… Okay. Then see you in two weeks.”

I nodded roughly to the old man, got out of the secret agency, and stepped into the street.
His mind was quite complex.
It was because of only one person.

Kim Joo-won, the protagonist of the novel ‘The Regressor Has Everything’, is a real person in the world who does crazy things to me.
That guy kept messing with my brain.
Why did he break away from the steps I knew and carve out his own path?
What’s the point if you act as you know?

“Whoa…”

Kim Joo-won’s move made me sigh.
Feeling the need to cool his head for a while, he moved to any cafe he could see nearby.

“It’s an Americano shot.”

I went upstairs and took a seat by the window.
I felt the bittersweet aroma of coffee, just like the real thing.
It is said that it is a high crime area with many criminals, but it is so peaceful to see people walking around outside the window.
At that moment, I felt for a moment that this place was not a world in a novel, but reality.

‘When I was at the academy, I thought this was at least the world of a novel.’

Somehow, I feel like the line between the reality I was in and the world right now is blurring.
He quickly shook his head from side to side to shake the thought away.

No matter how much it is said that it dwells in the body of the most beautiful woman in this novel.
Living as a woman in the world of fiction is a requirement.
Even if you roll in dog poop, this world is better than the underworld.

“Whoa.”

At least in real life, I didn’t have to worry about being treated like an assistant by the same guy.

Horok.
I could feel the cold liquid in my mouth.
It was because the coffee was sucked up through the straw in one sip and two sips.
Then, with a small sigh, he organized his thoughts.

Drinking the same thing I ate every day in real life
I felt that my complicated mind had become a little more comfortable.
Of course, when I go back to the academy and the weekdays return, hell will start again.
Maybe it’s because I’m not in that hell, at least at this moment.

“Kim Joo-won…”

I quietly recited the name of the guy who made my head complicated.
He usually doesn’t even pay attention to me.
At 5:00 PM, it seems like a person has really changed, and if we don’t laugh and go crazy together, we will do hard things.
Even so, he has a strange rule of not calling on weekends.

In the original work, I lived a life of multiple occasions, and even though people were a bit fussy about it.
The guy who never did crazy things, such as asking Lee Seo-ha for training.
Gradually, questions began to arise in my head about what had happened in this world that had changed so much.

If it’s a guy from the 3rd playthrough, he’ll still have some humanity left.
Or give Lee Seo-ha an assistant.
Casually, from the beginning of the regression, he started looking for a secret agency.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort when he saw a guy who was already casually committing a transgression.

‘… I guess I’ll have to check the difference between the original work and the current one.’

If you look at the fact that you are intentionally late for the first lecture in the morning, that is the case.
I don’t know what you’ve been doing
That guy must have told the instructor that he overslept that day.

One thing is for sure, there was definitely a gap between the current guy and Kim Joo-won in the novel.
Now I had to accept that fact.
The fact that he doesn’t move the way I know.

Originally, I had an idea of ​​how to organize the novel I was writing.
When one purpose was added to it, it was not difficult to raise the body from a sitting position.
After drinking the rest of the coffee, I got up and tried to go downstairs.

He had a yellow briefcase in his left hand.
If it weren’t for the silver-haired guy who was ordering coffee, he’d probably go straight to the academy.

‘Why is that bastard here?’

When I saw Kim Joo-won ordering something at the counter, I turned my steps to go down.
She sat back in her corner and pulled her hat on.

My heart was pounding.
He is a guy who casually touches his chest even though he is dressed as a man.
Not to mention, if you see Lee Seo-ha coming out of the house undressing right now…

‘Please just go.’

But did they say that the world always moves the opposite of what I want when I earnestly wish for it?
I hear someone stepping on the wooden stairs and coming up.
Soon, Kim Joo-won came out of the stairs to the second floor and appeared.

He lowered his head slightly.
It was an action that came out of the heart that I didn’t want Kim Joo-won to recognize me.

In fact, it wasn’t that there was no chance that he wouldn’t recognize me.
He is covering his face with the brim of his hat.
After all, he had never seen me dressed as a woman before.

And did my wind work for once?
Without thinking, Kim Joo-won sat down in the seat by the window where I had been sitting until now.
He took a piece of paper out of the envelope and began examining him over a cup of coffee.

As soon as I saw that guy, hope slowly began to emerge in my heart.
Maybe he didn’t even know me.
I wondered if I could just pass by him and get out of this cafe safely this weekend.
Such hope.

Shall we go?
Should I?
The worry lasted quite a long time.
Actually, it wouldn’t take much time.
Time always feels long when you calm down your beating heart.

‘Let’s go in quickly.’

But the thought that it would take quite some time to sort out the setting of the original novel made me wake up.
Try not to attract Kim Joo-won’s attention as much as possible.
I started walking slowly to look like A, an ordinary woman just passing by.
I hope he doesn’t recognize me.

But.

“Seoha, you waited.”

The moment I was about to pass by, I heard a voice saying my name clearly.
The wrist that was about to leave was caught in his hand.

“The weather is nice, isn’t it?”

I met Kim Joo-won’s gaze.

Above all, the proof that I have to endorse.
With clear blue eyes that are hard to find even in the world of novels for Asians.
