Chapter 63 â Part 2: Arrival of the Private Guards Captain (2)
How annoying. Heâd just recently gotten into so much trouble and now it was back, as if to mock him.
What is it trying to make me do? Seol-Hwi wanted to cuss but it wouldnât achieve anything.
I need to choose carefully.
However, the choices were extremely confusing.
This was even weirder than the ââ.â
Hug was gone, but kiss had stayed. He couldnât choose any of the options below that, so they didnât matter.
First or second.
One of them had to be a trapâbut how could he tell?
Shit! Time was running out. Okay. Letâs look at the patterns.
They looked like human faces. The first one looked like it was raising its hand.
This time⌠please!
Sheâs smiling! Seol-Hwiâs expression brightened. Seems heâd made the right choice this time.
âReallyâŚâ
Seol-Hwi nodded. âRight, you areâugh!â
Seo Ryeongâs slap almost ripped his mask off.
âYour perverted mind hasnât changed.â
P-pervert⌠His expression fell.
It was hard to believe their relationship was in the pits again.
âI hope we never meet again.â She spun around on her heel and walked awayâshe even used some footwork to get away from him faster.
âWowâŚâ Seol-Hwi was still reeling from being called a pervert.
âWowâŚâ
Seol-Hwi went back to his residence and pulled off his sweaty mask.
âDonât need this anymore.â
Heâd been wearing it for Seo Ryeong so he could meet her in different circumstances, when he was stronger.
That hope was dead now. She despised him.
âFor such a little thingâŚâ Seol-Hwi slumped into his chair.
The system always tested him, but the absurd situations it created and its performance turned out excellent. If there was a reason it gave him the mask, it wasnât just because of Seo Ryeong.
âThere was a reason why time stopped in front of those two peopleâŚâ Was there something he didnât know?
This seemed nice, after all the days of work heâd put in.
Seol-Hwi eyed the new entry as he laid in bed.
The captain of the Private Guard appears⌠He had a feeling theyâd be meeting sooner or later.
So why the mask? Seol-Hwi didnât know, but it felt like he was beginning to put the pieces together.
Is today the day? It was the end of the month, so heâd usually be moved back to his home. This time, however, heâd stopped at the Black Tortoise Hall instead, possibly to meet Seo Ryeong again.
Seol-Hwi felt a little bit of energy outside the door from time to time. He went over to check, and, as expected, the captain of the Private Guards was outside.
I donât think heâs just going to leave⌠He came all this way, after all, and heâd probably done his homework beforehand.
The man had to have a reason to attack him here, but Seol-Hwi did just kill his subordinate. They couldnât fight blindly, being from the same squad, but he was definitely here for Seol-Hwi.
Wait, can I refuse this? His eyes were drawn towards the Yes/No.
What? Seol-Hwi cocked his head. Hide?
Seriously?! Seol-Hwi was taken aback. He should have just vanishedâwhy hide? And hide âunder the desk?â It was right in the open!
If I had to choose⌠He looked around.

The empty wardrobe. Like the wooden box, he wouldnât have to lay down but he also wouldnât have to close the cover. Itâd be comfortable, and none of the other options really compared.
Seol-Hwiâs vision immediately darkened as he hid in the wardrobe.
Well, all I have to do is avoid a confrontationâŚ
He heard something from outside, but didnât respond. There was a long silence, and he assumed the person had left.
And then the door opened. Bigun walked in.
âCome out.â
Ah, fuck! Why did it even bother asking him to hide? Should he have chosen the wooden box?
There had to be a point to this now.
âAhem.â
Seol-Hwi wanted to hide himself again as soon as he walked out. Good thing he had the mask.
âSit down.â Seol-Hwi guided the man, although he wanted to rebuke him for coming in without permission.
After seeing the other manâs power, Seol-Hwi decided not to press the issue. Since heâd already introduced himself, he went straight in.
âWhat did you come here for?â
âTry guessing, command unit captain.â Bigun crossed his legs.
Seol-Hwiâs expression went stiff. Bigun had introduced himself, but Seol-Hwi hadnât. That meant he already knew who Seol-Hwi was.
âWell, since you asked, I have two ideas.â
ââŚAnd they would be?â Bigun raised an eyebrow.
Seol-Hwi frowned thoughtfully. âFirst of all, my mask looks really coolâotherwise you wouldnât have come here.â
Bigunâs eyes narrowed; whether in anger or irritation, Soel-Hwi didnât know. At the very least, he wasnât happy.
âAnd the otherâŚâ
It didnât matter what he said, he just wanted to provoke Bigun. Seol-Hwi avoided him because he made him uncomfortable, not because he was afraid. If he was afraid, he wouldnât have killed those men.
ââŚyou want to be friends with me!â
âHah. Haha. Ahahahaha.â
Seol-Hwi knew what that laugh meant. So he waited.
âSeriouslyâŚâ Bigunâs face held no trace of humor. âYouâre a funny person.â
âI hear that a lot.â
The room went silent again. Unlike before, Seol-Hwi felt the atmosphere change.
Just seeing him like this made Seol-Hwi feel warm.
ââŚActually, the reason I came⌠Recently, one of the captains killed one of my beloved subordinates. While investigating, we discovered that one of your unitâs members was involved.â
Seol-Hwi listened intently.
âAnd we found out that someone close to them stepped in and killed my man, so I came to find out if you knew anything.â
Look at this bastard. He remembered what this man said to his vice-captain. This bastard was pretending not to know.
âBefore that,â Seol-Hwi calmly said, âI want to ask you a question.â
âPlease.â
âDid the man wear a mask?â

Only Seol-Hwi and someone who was there would know that, and Bigun couldnât afford to show all his cards right now.
âWellâŚâ
âSomeone must have used it.â
What Bigun thought he knew, Seol-Hwi could use too.
âThere are people who want to take down not just my command unit, but the entire Hidden Truth Corps as well.â
