But, can Kim Sangyoon truly pull this off?

Given his past behavior, he had never looked strong in unexpected situations. His face often turned red as well

Additionally, if what they said about Moon Issak is true, he may suddenly begin to pressure Kim Sangyoon during the conversation. The same goes for Bae Jaemin.

Would Kim Sangyoon be able to endure all that? Since he doesnt quite know all the information about our party, he thinks hes the only one dealing with those two

But, even after voicing my worries, the two ghosts didnt seem to share the same concern.

Who knows.

Come on, what else are you complaining about now? If he cant succeed now, then well just have to make him able to succeed.

It was a bit ridiculous to see Seo Dawon irresponsibly shrug or Jung Garam look so calm while snapping his fingers.

Just how are they planning to deal with Moon Issak?!

Dont worry. All Kim Sangyoon needs to do is to make Bae Jaemin and Moon Issak face each other. He doesnt have to deal with either enemy individually. Seo Dawon kindly added, seeing my expression laden with anxiety. However, in my perspective, his explanation only continued to muddle my understanding of the situation.

Jung Garam jumped in with a frustrated voice, When they see each other, do you think theyll care about Kim Sangyoon? Theyll be too busy attacking each other.

Is that so.?

Bae Jaemins the type of guy to constantly push at someone, provoking them in subtle ways, if theyve blocked him from doing something he wants. The fact that Moon Issak hadnt given him his blessings means that somethings soured in that relationship. 1

Thinking about it, every time we met, Bae Jaemin refused to let me go until all my energy was spent. I nodded, nervously.

Honestly, how could you package Kim Sangyoons appearance as anything but suspicious? Theyre both incredibly vigilantthey wouldnt easily believe anyone, let alone Kim Sangyoon. Jung Garam said.

Then..

So thats why Kim Sangyoon is all the more perfect for dealing with those two.

What on earth does that mean?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

I blinked, unable to understand the hidden implications.

Jung Garam continued before I had the chance to ask him to explain further, as if he expected the confusion. Theyll both underestimate him; if you scare him just a little bit, fear instantly shows up on his face. Further, Bae Jaemin already knows Kim Sangyoon, so he wont think of him as more than a minion.

Mmmm..

Thats why neither of them will care about a sloppy guy like Kim Sangyoon.

I-is that so?

Honestly, theres nothing for him to do there. All he has to do is to sit, eat well, observe the chatter, and come back. Dont worry about him.

I breathed a sigh of relief after Jung Garam finished his explanation.

Come to think of it, though, Im in worse shape than Kim SangyoonIf the role requires someone sloppy, wouldnt it be better for me to fulfill that part? Then, wouldnt it be better for me to go?

This time, instead of Jung Garam, Seo Dawon answered with a smile, Nothing is known about you.

Me?

Yeah. Youre an unknown factor. Bae Jaemin was fooled by you for that reason. Moon Issak, on the other hand, may have a higher guard due to the lack of information about you. Kim Sangyoon is qualified for this job in various ways.

His words seemed plausible, so my anxiety was slightly suppressed.

However, disrupting my peace of mind, Seo Dawon said something quite provocative. In any case, you cant afford to spare Kim Sangyoon your concern right now.

Hoh.? Why?

Arent you worried about meeting Koo Hui-seo?

Thinking Seo Dawons just trying to scare me, I pointed at him, Youre coming with me, though?

Nn.. At my declaration, the faces of the two servants staring at me became weird. I meant nothing more than what I statedthat Seo Dawon would be at my side

Jung Garam frowned as he rubbed the goosebumps that dotted his crossed arms; Seo Dawon, after a short silence, hid his widening smile behind a hand.

Have Isaid something strange?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

I guess Lee-kyung-ies not scared at all if Im there. Seo Dawon began to spout nonsenseembarrassment rose from within me. When did I ever say it like that? I just thought that things would somehow work outThats it!

Dont exaggerate, I said.

So, if Dawon-hyungs there, youre not afraid of anything?

When did I ever say it like that?!

It seems like youll declare in the future that youll need no one except for hyung?

Thats not it!!

Jung Garam looked away petulantly and muttered under his breath. When you were with Bae Jaemin you acted as if I was your only lifeline

What on earth are they even saying?!

I was rendered speechless by the absurdity that Jung Garam spouted.

Ah, mm However, unlike the disregard I showed for the nonsense, Seo Dawon seemed to take his words seriously. Lee-kyung-ie does tend to confuse people

What are you even saying!

How frustrating, Choi Lee-kyung, Jung Garam said.

In the end, I threw the pillows on the bed at them.

Of course, they could avoid the pillows with a swift tilt to their heads. Then, as if to tease me for being unable to graze their heads with my attack, Seo Dawon sat across from Jung Garamsitting leisurely on a sofaand patted his thigh. Lee-kyung-ie should also sit down.

His gesture urged me to sit on his thigh.

If it were anybody else, would they have sat on him in this kind of situation?

Get lost I immediately cursed.

Thats overboard Seo Dawon complained in an exaggerated tone. Jung Garam exploded into laughter.

How annoying. Im the master, and theyre the servants. Why are they acting as if Im cute? 2

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Faced with my rejection, the corners of Seo Dawons lips quirked upwards. Seeing how theyve hidden Koo Hui-seos room, its a given that he cant leave on his own. He leaned back on the sofa and returned to the topic at hand, without giving a chance for my temper to flare further.

I paused for a moment; for now, the current plan was more important. I sighed deeply, picked up the pillow, and sat on the bed, looking straight at Seo Dawon.

Ping.

Jung Garam summoned a map between the three of us and enlarged it. The flattened map began to rise, reconstructing into a 3D model of our annex.

He clearly marked the map with red dots. Theres an entrance halfway to the elevator.

On the way to the fourth floor from the third, there was a narrow passage, accessible by bending at the waist and crawling through. After a while, the passageway would lead into a small spacewhich, on the map, contained flashing yellow indicators.

Theres a few crude traps but nothing too difficult. Seo Dawon gently pointed at the blinking yellow marks, identifying them as traps. He pressed the room at the end of the passageway.

The room that probably housed Koo Hui-seo was blackened, unlike the other part of the map.

Seo Dawon said, This is the issue. We cant reveal whats there even with Garam-ies skill.

Maybe the barrier from Koo Hui-seos curse is too strong. Theres no way to find out whats there besides going there yourselves. Jung Garam added.

I looked at the small rooma bad feeling weighing at meand asked, Are there any other security measures here?

Ominous or noteven if that room contained a rare dragonwe had to meet Koo Hui-seo. Noticing my resolve, Jung Garam showed me the blue dots moving throughout the building. The blue dots are the guards. Theres a monitor room on the first floor that will respond to any problems with the traps. I think theres always two or more people in the monitor room.

A few simple traps and an obscured room that may contain Koo Hui-seo. On top of that, if we carelessly detonate the traps, the hospital system would send guardsit felt a bit like breaking into a safe.

In the midst of all that, in what state will we find Koo Hui-seo?

Ill move first and deal with the traps. When we ride the elevator, well use Lackey.

Lackey will disguise itself as its owner, once again, to fabricate an alibi. We will make it seem like I went to the fourth floor by accident before going back down to my room on the third floor to hide mine and Seo Dawons movements.

There seemed to be no other way, so I nodded yes. Lackey stared at us when it heard its name; after snapping its teeth a few times it returned its attention to the rug once more, tearing at it.

TL: Not @ the two servants for calling Lee-kyung a flirt, lmao.
