Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School
Chapter 693: Gift (12)Support Ex-Rank
Before the start of Eungwang High’s Christmas Event, at the Student Council Hall.
There was no battle at this hall yesterday.
There was little damage because it wasn’t used as shelter either.
Compared to the Student Association Hall which was on the front line, the Jiikhoe in charge of the residential area, and the General Club which was overwhelmed, the Student Council members had little to do.
Oh Hyeji, who arrived the earliest in her Santa costume, spoke.
“All the people who said they’d attend today are here. Change into your Christmas outfits, everyone. I’ll be deploying personnel in the meantime.”
“Is Dongha hyung not coming today?”
“He’ll stop by later. I think he’s busy. Ah, Professor Ham Geunhyung came a while ago.”
Professor Ham Geunhyung, the advisor of Class Zero and the Student Council, is said to be behind in his work.
When he saw that Oh Hyeji was present, he trusted her and left.
Well, Ma Jinseung was also there, but even though Ma Jinseung was loud, he didn’t always get the job done.
If Oh Hyeji weren’t there, Ham Geunhyung wouldn’t have left right away.
Oh Hyeji talked to Ma Jinseung who was wearing a reindeer costume.
“I’ll help you this time, but if Dongha is away, you should step up from now on, Okay?”
“Yes, understood!”
“Your voice is so loud. Greet the visitors at the front gate and go straight to the Jiikhoe, Jinseung-ah. Your class’ on duty at the grilled meat restaurant is in the afternoon, right?”
While the other members were changing their clothes, Oh Hyeji promptly distributed work.
She was going to show it to Ma Jinseung, but seeing the latter look dizzy, she thought he still had a long way to go.
Ma Jinsenug, who was looking at the hologram with a daft face, spoke.
“Oh?”
“What’s wrong?”
“You don’t have a break time, Hyeji noona!”
“We have a separate lunchtime…”
She was startled by Ma Jinseung’s words, but Oh Hyeji pretended not to know.
With yesterday’s incident, former student representative Do Wonwoo was the main leader, and former Jiikhoe Chairman Sung Siwan was active.
Even the former president of the General Club, who is known for being timid and weak, ran to the General Club Hall as soon as he heard the broadcast.
‘…I’m the only one who hasn’t been able to do much.’
Even Yoo Sanghee, whom Oh Hyeji considers her rival, joined in the action and treated those with injuries.
Oh Hyeji participated in the battle, but she didn’t match their performances.
Yesterday’s incident took place during the day so there was no moon, so her light skill couldn’t be used.
Considering her lack of mobility, Oh Hyeji stayed at the Student Association Hall to keep the front line.
Oh Hyeji wanted to make it up.
Ma Jinseung kept pointing it out, but he couldn’t speak properly against Oh Hyeji.
While Ma Jinseung was hesitating, the other members returned.
“Have you all changed your clothes? Double-check everything now if you don’t want to return to fix it later! Ah….”
The moment Oh Hyeji turned her head toward the door, her eyes met with Joo Soohyuk.
She’d known him and the Joo-Oh Group for a long time, but that didn’t stop her from being amazed by his looks.
Many people don’t look good in red Santa fur coats, but Joo Soohyuk pulled it off nicely.
Joo Soohyuk himself was wonderful, but Oh Hyeji’s head seemed to be confused because the image of Joo Soogyeom overlapped in her mind.
Joo Soogyeom contacted her to check in because of yesterday’s incident, and when she recalled his “Merry Christmas” text, her ears felt hot.
‘I shouldn’t think about Soogyeom oppa while looking at Soohyuk just because they look alike. Soogyeom oppa isn’t…’
Oh Hyeji managed to keep a smile on her stiff face.
Without noticing Oh Hyeji’s thoughts, Joo Soohyuk spoke calmly.
“I think your outfit is a little different from yesterday. Did you change it?”
“Uhm… It got damaged yesterday. You’re right.”
Joo Soohyuk had to fix his costume a lot because he went through a fierce battle on Christmas Eve.
Among the students in Eugnwang High, Joo Soohyuk knocked down the most enemies.
Immediately after satellite information became available, Joo Soohyuk’s name was seen the most other than the professional players and royal lineage who fought around the school gate.
After Joo Soohyuk was Maeng Hyodon’s name.
“You said you were going to stop by your class for a while, right Soohyuk?”
“Yes, VP Saeron is busy with the newspaper department, so I have to help with the cafe work.”
“Go to the Student Association after that.”
Oh Hyeji emphasized, and Joo Soohyuk’s face brightened.
He seemed to be much happier to go work around the Student Association than with the attention he got for subjugating the most enemies.
He thought he’d be able to spend more time with Ahn Dain.
The other members read his thoughts, but Joo Soohyuk only smiled cluelessly.
‘I can spend more time with Dain!’
Joo Soohyuk stopped by Class 1-2 with a bright expression.
Perhaps because of the spread of Joo Soohyuk’s name in newspapers, their bakery cafe was booming.
Considering that it was Christmas, their class mainly prepared cakes, but by the end of the morning, all cakes with white chocolate were out of stock.
“Don’t you have to go now, Soohyuk-ah?”
“I heard that you gotta work around the Student Association.”
The cafe looked busy so he stayed longer than scheduled, but his classmates urged him to go.
He doesn’t know how they knew about his work, but he decided to accept the favors of his classmates.
Not knowing at all that the majority of his classmates were secretly cheering for him and Ahn Dain, Joo Soohyuk decided to leave.
When he stored the apron he wore during service in his locker, he saw a thin box the size of his palm.
‘I should take the present with me, right? I may not have time to stop by her classroom later…’
The Christmas gift that Joo Soohyuk prepared was very simple.
When reading, Ahn Dain would use a built-in string to mark the page that she stopped on.
But for books with no strings, she would just memorize the page.
Ahn Dain rarely forgot page numbers, but he thought it would be easier for her to use a bookmark.
So Joo Soohyuk made a bookmark himself.
He prepared a bookmark using two flowers, a camelia and a daffodil, which reminded her of Ahn Dain.
‘Should I have prepared something better? But it would be burdensome if it’s too big of a gift…’
Having a lot of fans, Ahn Dain is used to receiving gifts.
In the early days when her alias became known, she was willing to accept light gifts, but there came a time when the presents became excessive.
One day, her fans gave her a small box with a key, presumed to be the key to a player car and the location of the parking lot where it was stored.
After that, Ahn Dain began to decline all sorts of gifts.
Joo Soohyuk considered that in preparing her a present.
‘This is practical and not burdensome. It’s good enough for a Christmas present.’
Joo Soohyuk put it in the pocket of his coat and headed toward the Student Association Hall.
He didn’t know if he would meet Ahn Dain right away, but since they made plans, they were sure to encounter one another.
Just the thought of it made Joo Soohyuk feel like he could fly.
His footsteps were light as he walked, but perhaps he was overly excited and his physical ability was above normal, his steps were as fast as if he had used a skill.
When he was about to enter the central area and the Student Association Hall…
“Wait. You. Where are you going?”
Joo Soohyuk was stopped by the voice of a woman he’d never heard before.
When he turned his head, Joo Soohyuk saw a woman quite shorter than him.
He saw her eyes and her vertical pupils.
‘A royal lineage!’
Joo Soohyuk immediately stopped on alert.
He learned from yesterday that it wasn’t safe on campus, and this royal lineage didn’t seem to regard Joo Soohyuk favorably.
“I asked where you’re going.”
Joo Soohyuk’s vigilance reached its peak at that point, but he didn’t take out weapons or use power yet.
Although he couldn’t properly gauge her strength, Joo Soohyuk knew that he had a low chance of winning.
He decided to answer.
“I’m going to the Student Association Hall. May I help you?”
“Which way is the Student Association Hall? This way? That way?”
“It’s the opposite of the second direction you pointed at.”
When Joo Soohyuk answered sincerely, the woman of royal lineage softened.
Joo Soohyuk wondered about the sudden relief and satisfaction.
It was as if that woman was wary of Joo Soohyuk instead.
“I haven’t introduced myself. I’m the head of the Snake Clan. You’re Joo Soohyuk, right?”
Joo Soohyuk was immediately convinced.
The frosty voice and spirit of the head of the Snake Clan made him sure.
‘But how does she know me?’
There was a high possibility that she saw him in an article, but somehow he didn’t think so.
“I know you because of some stupid idiot in this school. He’s not ready to face you yet.”
The moment he heard “stupid idiot,” Bang Yoonseob’s face appeared in Joo Soohyuk’s head.
He thought it couldn’t be, and the head of the Snake Clan spoke again.
“You didn’t do anything wrong, but please refrain from approaching that guy who received my order. He’ll retaliate if you approach. If you refrain from approaching him, I’ll repay you someday.”
The woman moved toward the nursing room in the central area.
Joo Soohyuk recalled that Joo Soohyuk and Choi Younghee were being examined there.
He forgot all that for a while and felt deep guilt when he realized that he was drowning in happiness just now.
