S-Rank is My Side Character - Chapter 32
“Wow, wow, this makes my head completely fuzzy.”
“Originally, I’m evil-aligned, so people who see me use skills go crazy.”
“……You knew that and still poured out so much mental energy on me at school?!”
And the next day, at a small private cafe in the city.
Rude and Min Jaeyun in school uniform were sitting in the corner. Jaeyun shook his head awkwardly in front of Rude, who was sipping an iced Americano through a corn straw.
It seemed Jaeyun had taken a mental hit because Rude had used perception interference on both of them in case someone recognized and posted about it online.
“If your mental barrier can’t even withstand that much as a constellation dealing with demons and a magician, you should just terminate your contract with the constellation. Don’t you think?”
Seeing his constellation grumbling in red indirect messages, apparently offended, Jaeyun’s eyes sparkled as he smiled.
“So why did you call me?! Do you know how surprised I was when I got a call from Ihyeon hyung? Don’t tell me you missed me?!”
“No, well.”
At Jaeyun’s question, Rude buried himself in the cafe chair’s backrest, lost in thought. How should he explain this? Rude put his hand on his chin with a troubled expression, thinking about it, as Jaeyun tilted his head.
“What is it? What’s going on?!”
“Well……”
Rude, who had been pondering, pressed his brow hard. Anyway, this was something he had to resolve. He closed his eyes tightly, let out a deep sigh, and then carefully continued.
“I tried to hide it, but it was found out that you were involved with magic stones at that school. That……”
“Ah~”
“Well, um. I know how much you hate revealing it, and how stressful it is when it’s exposed, so I tried to hide it. I’m sorry. You had to inevitably……”
Rude spoke quietly with his head bowed, needing to explain that there was a situation where Jaeyun’s power had to be revealed.
“Ah, so I need to testify that I didn’t register as an awakened, right?”
“……Yes. I’m sorry. I tried my best not to say anything……”
“I’ll do it!”
“Huh?”
At the refreshingly clear answer, Rude lifted his head abruptly. Min Jaeyun was grinning. His red eyes behind the half-rimmed glasses sparkled.
“Hey, if that’s all it was, you didn’t need to worry~ I was planning to register as an awakened anyway! I was so nervous when Ihyeon hyung suddenly started talking seriously through you, I thought something big had happened!”
“No, you were desperately trying not to get caught. You said your grandfather hates it! But now you’re saying you’ll do it?!”
“Ah, well……”
Min Jaeyun sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. After thinking for a while, he shrugged and smiled.
“Well, I guess it’s because everything is over now.”
He tapped the glass in front of him with both hands. The green name tag on his navy school uniform jacket stood out.
Come to think of it, today was the weekend and school should be closed, so why was this friend wearing his uniform? As that question suddenly occurred to Rude, Min Jaeyun spoke sheepishly.
“If I don’t become a hunter, it feels like I’ll be tied to that school for life……”
Min Jaeyun gripped the glass he had been tapping. His fingertips turned white, and his face had also gone pale.
[The Ruler of Chaos interjects that this is trauma.]‘Ah.’
Rude let out a deep sigh. No matter how high-ranking an awakened with a constellation, there was no answer in the face of trauma. Even Nari would immediately panic in front of a camera.
“Still, it’ll be tough now that you’re becoming a hunter, getting a lot of hate. Will you be okay?”
“It’s fine. Well, aren’t talented people always envied everywhere? And I did something that neither first nor second place could do. Building a school!”
“That’s true. It can’t be done with spirit power or mental energy alone.”
“Come on, how much help will I be to society? I wasn’t even studying, so I had no college to go to, but this worked out well. Ha!”
“That’s really fortunate……”
Aware of the stiffened atmosphere, Min Jaeyun exaggeratedly grinned and crossed his arms at the end.
“Anyway, so will you and Kang Ihyeon help me? There’s a recommended job.”
“No, no. I’m not going to the Holy Temple. I’m planning to go to Baekya. I think I can get a lot of help dealing with demons there.”
“Ah…… Well, Baekya would certainly be better.”
“Right! I’m going to become S-class now! I’ve even decided on my title in advance. The Red Devil!”
“That overlaps with 2002. No way. Touching national pride is high treason.”
“What happened in 2002?”
“Never mind. Forget it. You were probably just a zygote then, huh.”
Still, his condition didn’t seem that bad.
It seemed that what Nari had worried and agonized over was nothing to him. Rude once again recalled the guild master’s words not to carelessly assume others’ feelings.
“Anyway….. That’s fine then. I’ll contact the police and Holy Temple, so you’re dismissed. Good work.”
“Ah!! Wait a moment!! I have something to say!”
Hm? Rude lazily opened his eyes while chewing on the straw. Min Jaeyun in front of him was squirming. Something seemed suspicious…… Just as he felt that, Min Jaeyun dropped a bombshell.
“Noona, will you go out with me?”
“Huh?”
It’s ‘Huh?’. Not ‘What?’, but ‘Huh?’. That’s how confused he is.
Rude, who had just blinked, understood the meaning of those words exactly 30 seconds later.
“……What?!”
“It means exactly what I said. Go out with me. Noona. I’ve fallen for you.”
Rude’s eyes slowly opened wide. Soon, having understood the whole situation, Rude shouted.
“Hey!! Come to your senses!! You’re a student and I’m in my mid-20s!!”
“Age doesn’t matter in love!”
“It does!!”
“Hmph! Then there’s no helping it.”
Min Jaeyun rummaged through his pocket, took out his wallet, and held out a card. It was his ID card. Rude, who had been dumbfounded, read the numbers. Min Jaeyun spoke with a confident attitude.
“I’m twenty years old now! I was held back a year! I’ll be twenty-one in a month! So there’s no problem, right?!”
“……”
“Ah, please don’t look at me with such bewildered eyes. I’m a little hurt……”
“Take off your school uniform before talking……”
Min Jaeyun brought his hand, which had been on the iced Americano glass, to the center of the table and interlocked his fingers.
Rude’s expression gradually changed to one of shock at the newfound sensation that made his whole body break out in goosebumps.
[The Ruler of Chaos munches on popcorn, saying this is really juicy.]‘Chaos Lord, you shut up!’
Rude, who suddenly felt a sharp headache, pressed his forehead hard. He couldn’t understand why his head hurt when he had used the skill affecting the mind on Min Jaeyun.
“Kid, there must be many good people around you……”
“Noona, it’s because I’m still a student, right! I’m graduating in a few months!”
“Hey! With the high school logo sewn above your name tag clearly visible to my eyes, anyone who accepts would be handcuffed!”
Ahem, Rude, who had calmed down again, fanned himself and spoke.
“In the first place, why do you like me? You don’t even know my true appearance.”
“I……”
Min Jaeyun touched his cheek. Seeing his cheeks turn pink, Rude became scared in advance.
‘Is, is he really in love? With me? Why……? What exactly did I do, is this my fault……?’
“I like strong women……”
“At least it’s not my fault. That’s a relief.”
Rude smiled in relief, stroking his chest. Min Jaeyun’s shy confession continued.
“Noona. When you put your hand on my head then, you were trying to kill me or drive me crazy with your skill, right? I keep remembering that moment and can’t sleep well at night……”
“Isn’t that just Stockholm syndrome or something?”
“I originally preferred older women to begin with….. I like women strong enough to crack my skull with their hands.”
“Uh, uhm……”
Rude started to avert his eyes. Min Jaeyun spoke with his characteristic sly attitude.
“I’m really serious, noona. Let’s date for just one month lightly.”
“What….. What…… What’s serious……”
“That I’m confident I can make you fall for me within that time. I’m confident, you know? More than Ihyeon hyung.”
“Why is Kang Ihyeon coming up here? No, if your grandfather finds out about this, he’ll collapse.”
“Ah, really noona! Come on!”
Min Jaeyun pouted again at Rude’s iron wall. Rude sighed awkwardly looking at him.
‘What is with this runaway situation. Should I just leave?’
Rude, who had just been racking his brain, applied force to pull his hand away. Ironically, what ended that tremendous situation was a third party.
“Min Jaeyun.”
“Ah.”
When Rude took his hand off his throbbing forehead and looked to the side, Kang Ihyeon was holding Min Jaeyun’s wrist.
“Stop it. You’re troubling her.”
Soon, Kang Ihyeon removed Min Jaeyun’s hand. It was a completely different, cold tone from usual. Suddenly, a subtle atmosphere swirled around them. Kang Ihyeon, looking up, had a cold, expressionless face.
“……Ah~”
Min Jaeyun, who had been silent for a moment watching Ihyeon’s attitude, smirked while pretending to be impressed. A tense atmosphere hung between the two.
“So it’s this person? The one from when hyung was in high school. You should have said so earlier.”
“Min Jaeyun.”
“But I’ve told you many times. You can’t in that state. You can’t even see around you right now, how could you…… Ah, I got it! I got it. I’m leaving. Don’t look at me like that, please.”
Min Jaeyun, who had been talking to Kang Ihyeon in an irritated tone, suddenly sucked up all the coffee in front of him and hastily put on his coat.
“Noona, is our grandfather bothering you now? Knowing our grandfather’s personality, he must be. But this hyung didn’t know that, right?”
“No, I told uncle. It’ll be resolved soon. So don’t worry about it.”
“It won’t work with what hyung said. Hyung isn’t interested in anyone but noona.”
A fierce battle of nerves passed between the two. Rude anxiously looked at them while chewing on the innocent straw.
‘Wh-wh-what kind of situation is this?’
Rude was staring at just the two of them with an incomprehensible expression, dumbfounded. In front of such a Rude, the Ruler of Chaos displayed an indirect message.
[The Ruler of Chaos shakes his head, saying our Nari is really in big trouble for being so clueless about these things.]‘Huh.’
It was a situation where a normal person would have sensed the subtle relationships and currents surrounding them, but Nari was different.
No friends since middle school! Prickly personality! Half of what comes out is swearing! Estranged from family! Besides the convenience store owner, 0 people met consistently for 10 years! Main conversation partner is usually the Ruler of Chaos!
So, Nari was just the right person to be disliked rather than liked, and in reality, Nari had heard more curses than praise throughout her life.
Even including the years as Rude, it was like that.
That’s why Shin Binnari was sensitive to curses or negative words directed at her, but her sensor for affection towards her didn’t work at all! No, even if it did work!
‘Well, I’d have a reality check too if I saw my younger friend acting like that to someone in their mid-twenties.’
Nari just thought this while watching the two’s battle of wills.
Suddenly, even if the fire alarm system in the building went off, everyone would pass by saying “Haha, it must be broken~”, acting as if it wasn’t their business!
She had become a dense sweet potato female protagonist who couldn’t even think that someone else liked her!
[Nari! Can’t you even see the ‘multiple male leads’ in the hashtag! The Ruler of Chaos breaks the fourth wall.] [I should have taught our little sister about these things too….. The Ruler of Chaos deeply regrets.]‘What are you talking about.’
Nari couldn’t understand what this situation was. But one thing was for certain.
If I hadn’t used perception interference, there would have been a huge headline on tomorrow’s front page!
Something terrible like ‘[Exclusive] Rude and Kang Ihyeon argue about dating underage male in cafe’!
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
