The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 239

“Wow, seriously… Why is that unnie running so fast?”

I placed my hands on my knees, breathing heavily as I watched Han Da-min’s retreating figure disappearing into the distance.

Capturing Han Da-min, who was my second target, was a complete failure.

I had pressured her with great momentum and engaged in a chase, but there’s no match for physical stamina.

Han Da-min, who has the best stamina among the members, ran much faster than me and maintained that speed for a long time.

Even though I had been diligently going to the gym and building my stamina, Ryu Ji-ye’s body, which lacks natural endurance, quickly became exhausted after running for a bit and had no choice but to stop.

So I lost her.

“Ah, this is bad. Once you lose Da-min unnie, she’s not easy to catch.”

Not only that, but given Han Da-min’s characteristic of trying to take care of the members in most situations, there’s a high possibility she’ll reveal my identity to the surviving teammates.

I caught my breath while pondering my next move, then soon started walking.

“For now, I’ll give up on Da-min unnie and find the other members to tear the team apart.”

Let’s go with an easier difficulty level.

Choi Song-i, who has weaker stamina than me and, unlike the other members, isn’t really passionate about this game itself.

And Min Ha-young, who has similar stamina to Seo Ra-eun but is seriously much more timid compared to Seo Ra-eun.

It would be better to target these two first and catch Han Da-min last.

However, the problem was that unlike Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun’s team who were separated, Min Ha-young would obviously stick close to Choi Song-i and never be apart from her.

There’s no way to safely catch them one by one – it’s either catch both or lose both.

‘…Or not? Maybe it’s actually fortunate that there are two of them?’

Since Song-i is on the slower side when it comes to running, Min Ha-young’s fast feet might actually be tied down.

Because Min Ha-young would never abandon Song-i and run away alone, no matter how scary the extreme situation gets.

Naturally, she’d have no choice but to escape as slowly as Song-i.

The important thing is that I need to finish the job before Han Da-min makes contact with those two.

Having finished thinking this far, I naturally started walking.

‘Ah, but if there are two of them, a dramatic entrance might be difficult.’

How can I reveal my identity in a more frightening way?

***

“Ah, seriously…”

Choi Song-i let out a deep sigh.

She had been singing about how scary it was, and I’ve been holding back since earlier because if I showed my annoyed feelings to such a person, she might make strange assumptions again.

“Unnie, you’re being too much. Why are you acting like this, really?”

Min Ha-young was going too far even by her standards.

She was clinging to the point where it went beyond being annoying and actually interfered with movement and game progress.

It’s not like she’s some cicada stuck to an old tree…

“Are you that scared? If you’re scared, you can just follow behind me.”

“Don’t be so heartless! I can’t tolerate even the slightest gap between you and me. The air becomes strange!”

“What do you mean the air becomes strange?”

She’s really acting like a child.

“You don’t know! Scariness comes rushing up through the gaps in the air!”

“What do you mean scary things come up through gaps in the air?”

Choi Song-i eventually gave up on the conversation with Min Ha-young and shook her head back and forth.

She must have been so scared that she’s been rambling incoherently since earlier, saying things I can’t understand at all.

“Unnie, I get it, so can’t you hurry up and look for clues? If you’re scared, wouldn’t it be better to just find them quickly and get out?”

“That’s true, but… what if something weird comes out when I open the drawer…”

“If that’s true, then just hurry up and look.”

It’s already dark and we keep having to hide, plus the game isn’t my hobby so it’s not fun, and having to drag around one whining unnie is annoying to death.

“Unnie, actually, you know what.”

“Huh? Yeah, actually what.”

“Actually, I wanted to do this with Ji-ye unnie. Or with Da-min unnie.”

“Yeah, uh-huh. Really?”

“…”

I subtly revealed my true feelings while looking for clues, but she’s so scared that her mind is elsewhere and she’s just opening drawers, so her responses are strange.

At this rate, I’m actually worried whether she’s properly looking for clues.

‘Even if there are clues in the drawers she opens, she’ll probably miss them and just close them.’

That’s how much Min Ha-young looked like her soul had left her body right now.

“Geez, I can’t trust unnie. I’ll just do it myself.”

At least I need to pull myself together. I need to find them quickly and get that unnie out of here.

Eventually, Choi Song-i gently pushed Min Ha-young aside and started searching through the drawers that Min Ha-young had been looking through from the beginning.

And Min Ha-young watched this anxiously before hesitantly opening her mouth.

“Should I, uh, keep watch, Song-i?”

Min Ha-young started reading the room belatedly after seeing clues and items pop out from drawers she had already opened, thanks to Song-i.

Is Song-i angry by any chance?

It was when Min Ha-young was persistently talking to Choi Song-i, as if trying to confirm whether she was angry or not.

“Oh, so Ha-young and Song-i were here.”

A familiar voice came from the darkness.

Min Ha-young flinched and turned toward where the sound came from. Then she sighed in relief.

“It was Ji-ye? Hey, where have you been?”

“I was on the floor below, then I heard that Ra-eun unnie got caught and hurried up here.”

“Ra-eun unnie got caught?”

“Really?”

Min Ha-young and Choi Song-i, who had been frantically searching for clues, both asked simultaneously as they approached Ryu Ji-ye.

Ryu Ji-ye nodded and let out a deep sigh.

“I saw Da-min unnie running somewhere alone earlier. The stranger guest must have started their activity.”

“Then they’re still on the lower floor?”

Ryu Ji-ye nodded at Min Ha-young’s guess.

“I came up here thinking that, but… who knows. They might have come up after catching one person.”

“Ugh, hey, don’t say things like that. It’s scary.”

“Anyway, be careful. Didn’t you hear Da-min unnie screaming? They must look really scary.”

“Gasp!”

Min Ha-young jumped up and hit Ryu Ji-ye’s arm.

“I heard it! That was Da-min unnie’s voice?”

“Probably? It was too loud to be Ra-eun unnie screaming, so I just thought it was Da-min unnie. Anyway. Did you find any clues?”

“…Ooh, I almost just told you. Aren’t you being too obvious about fishing for information? As if we’re on the same team.”

Min Ha-young, who was about to speak in anger, grinned and shook her head.

“I absolutely won’t tell you.”

Ryu Ji-ye also smiled and said,

“I really couldn’t find any at all. No matter how I think about it, searching alone seems really too much. So anyway, did you find clues?”

“Secret.”

“You found them. You did.”

Ryu Ji-ye looked at the grinning Choi Song-i and spoke as if lamenting, then rolled her eyes around.

“But do we absolutely have to find clues to escape?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Min Ha-young asked at Ryu Ji-ye’s meaningful words. When Ryu Ji-ye saw that even Choi Song-i, who had been diligently opening drawers, subtly pulled her head back and seemed to be listening to her words, she pointed behind her shoulder with her thumb.

“I think I actually found it. The escape route.”

“…Huh?”

Min Ha-young’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

“Escape route? There’s a separate escape route, not a way to escape?”

I thought she just came to subtly ask about clues. Who knew she’d bring such valuable information.

“How?”

“I saw from my hiding spot after hearing Da-min unnie’s scream. But I’m not entirely sure if it’s real or not.”

“…But why are you telling us about it?”

Choi Song-i, who had approached at some point, squeezed between Min Ha-young and Ryu Ji-ye and looked at Ryu Ji-ye suspiciously.

Wasn’t this extremely suspicious?

This wasn’t Han Da-min who would save a member first and ask questions later, nor was it the angel Seo Ra-eun.

Would Ryu Ji-ye really share information about an escape route she discovered without expecting anything in return?

Absolutely not.

This definitely meant she wanted something or it was a trap.

When she looked at Ryu Ji-ye with such eyes, Min Ha-young shouted loud enough that unfamiliar guests might overhear, “Song-i is so smart as expected!” while giving her a thumbs up, and Ryu Ji-ye smiled awkwardly.

“Actually, you’re right. I did find an escape route, but it’s hidden behind furniture that I absolutely can’t move by myself.”

Ryu Ji-ye spoke hopefully while sighing.

“But you know what? The fact that it’s hidden behind furniture makes it even more suspicious.”

“I know, I know.”

Ryu Ji-ye grinned at Min Ha-young, who was extremely understanding, then said.

“So what I’m saying is, why don’t we go together and try moving it?”
