Episode 123. Obtaining a Result (15)

“Yi Hyo-rin?”
“……??”

The girl who had burst into the 2nd Year Classroom and spoken to Yi Jeong-jun in informal speech was none other than his younger sister, Yi Hyo-rin.

Clack, clack, clack.

She’d entered the classroom in outdoor shoes, not slippers.

The sole idol recognized at Cheonghwa High School.
In her short skirt and makeup, her face looked far too alluring for a student.

Cold fury radiated from Yi Hyo-rin the moment she walked in.

“…….”

Yi Jeong-jun turned to face his younger sister, his brow furrowed.

“Are you insane? Why did you drag Mom into your mess? How embarrassing!!”

Yi Hyo-rin burst out shouting without preamble.
She resembled Kook Sang Ju Mi-ju in some ways, yet something was fundamentally different.

Yi Hyo-rin possessed something called a conscience.

The house had been a disaster when he’d returned after yesterday’s event.

He’d assumed it was their mother, but the culprit had been their brother.

The moment she’d arrived at school, she’d set about figuring out why.

It was pathetic.
Her brother Yi Jeong-jun had confronted Ha Tae-ung at the Management Research Society and gotten crushed.

Truly pathetic.
And stupid, too.

‘Ha Tae-ung isn’t even in your league! You complete idiot!’

Yi Hyo-rin had sharp instincts.
Debuting as an idol and surviving this long, achieving success—it wasn’t easy.

To Yi Hyo-rin, who’d survived in that jungle, Ha Tae-ung looked like a giant.

A perfected human being that someone like Yi Jeong-jun could never hope to match.

“Shut up, damn it!”

Yi Jeong-jun exploded in anger.
The good mood from moments before came crashing down like ice water.

“You shut up, you idiot! You immature moron who doesn’t even know what you’ve done!”
“I, I…….”

Blood vessels stood out in Yi Jeong-jun’s eyes at his sister’s crude language.

He wanted nothing more than to charge at her and throw a punch.
But this was school.

More than that, Yi Hyo-rin’s personality was nothing to trifle with either.

A stubborn brat from the Yi family, abandoned even by their own parents.

“Aaaahhhhh!”

Crash!!

In that moment, a middle-aged woman’s piercing scream and the sound of something breaking echoed from outside the building.
The students rushed to the windows in unison.

“Huh?”
“It’s Kook Sang!”
“Mi-ju?”

Names and nicknames that tumbled unconsciously from the students’ lips.

The sight unfolding below was shocking.

She was holding something in her hand, smashing the school’s recycling bins and everything nearby.

Her gaze was fixed on the New Building, her face twisted with fury.

“Why, why is she like that?”

The students exchanged confused looks.
Yi Jeong-jun also moved to the window, watching his mother, Kook Sang Ju Mi-ju.

She looked like a lioness who’d just lost a fight.

“She got beaten down……. Served her right. Tsk!”

Yi Hyo-rin snorted dismissively as she watched their mother’s furious expression, as if she’d figured something out.

“Damn it…….”

Yi Jeong-jun also looked at their mother’s face.
Something had gone terribly wrong—her manic expression made that clear.

If his suspicion was correct, his own position would be shaken considerably.

Unlike in the past, the other students now looked at him with barely concealed mockery.

“Haah…….”

A deep sigh escaped unbidden.

* * *

“The secretary will serve as acting chairman for the time being.”
“Me, me?”

Yi Gyeong-ja was startled.

The position of School Parent Association chairman at Cheonghwa High School—a role she’d never felt capable of holding.

This was not an honor. It was terror.

A seat enjoyed by the wives of group executives.
And now, an accounting firm manager’s wife was to hold it?

“I’ll be backing you up. No objections from anyone, I hope?”
“No!”
“Congratulations, Ms. Yi~”

In an instant, the foxes bared their teeth in congratulations.

Behind their smiles, their eyes gleamed with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

‘Why me of all people…….’

Yi Gyeong-ja’s face fell.
Her current position as secretary suited her perfectly.

Even with Go Mi-hee backing her up, she doubted she’d have the eloquence for this.

“It’s temporary.”

Go Mi-hee emphasized the word temporary.

“Understood.”

Yi Gyeong-ja accepted it.
She had no choice.

“And there’s something I’d like to ask.”

Ha Tae-ung, An Hyeon-ju, and the vice-principal had returned to their respective positions.

Only the executives of the School Parent Association remained in the conference room.

“…….”

Everyone focused their attention on Go Mi-hee.

A direct descendant of the Il-seong Group, who’d cut Kook Sang Ju Mi-ju off in one stroke.

Her unusual presence left them all unsure how to react.

The executives who met her eyes lowered their heads one by one.

Like nobles in the presence of royalty.

“Don’t touch Ha Tae-ung.”
“……??”
“If I hear from the children that they’re talking about him as an Outcast or about the Ha family……you’ll be dealing with me directly.”
“……!!”

The shocking warning left everyone blinking.

A declaration of protection for Ha Tae-ung on the same level as Kang Jun-woo.

This warning was not limited to those gathered here.

It was directed at every parent in Cheonghwa High School.

Now no one would dare breathe a word about Ha Tae-ung.

“You understand?”

Go Mi-hee smiled as she asked.

“Yes!”
“Understood!”
“Hehe. Who could disagree~”

The School Parent Association executives answered like privates being questioned by a superior officer.

They were smiling, but their minds were churning.

They could well guess why Go Mi-hee was taking such a stance.

And their conclusion was singular.

Checkmate.

The full story of yesterday’s account incident at the Management Research Society.

There was no doubt it was true.

Otherwise, there’d be no reason for her to shield the bloodline cast out from the Ha family.

It could easily cause friction with the Ha family.
The Il-seong Group was no exception to the risks.

Especially since Go Mi-hee was a daughter, not a son.

To her, who’d inherited merely a single hotel, the Chairman Ha Cheol-gon of the Haryun Group was…….

“Does everyone have time?”
“Yes!”
“How about lunch? It’s been a while.”

Some of the executives had dined together when Go Mi-hee had served as chairman the previous year.

Fine dining prepared by top chefs from the Ilseong Hotel.

“We’re always grateful~”
“Chairman is the best! Hehe.”

The executives immediately switched into flattery mode.
They’d made their calculation.

If the opportunity arose, they absolutely must befriend Ha Tae-ung!!

This was information they had to convey to their children without fail.
