Are you saying this now?

I was momentarily surprised and almost blurted out.

“…Seol Yuhwa? What is that supposed to mean?”

Seong Jichan asked with confusion.

“Did you change your name?”

Can that even happen? No, wait, is that a reasonable reaction? Seong Jichan’s words made me slightly confused.

Seol Yuhwa chuckled.

“No, I’ve been Seol Yuhwa from birth. I am Seol Yubin’s twin sister.”

Upon hearing this, Seong Jichan looked serious for a moment, then asked,

“Uh… But?”

‘So what?’, his expression seemed puzzled.

‘…Is this really the right reaction at such an important moment?’

Are these two really the main characters? They don’t seem to have any friendship, let alone love.

Suddenly, a bad feeling came over me.

‘Could it be that the original story has already deviated?’

Did my interference lead to a strange relationship between them? Please tell me that’s not the case.

I nervously watched the conversation between Seol Yuhwa and Seong Jichan.

Seol Yuhwa spoke.

“Surprising, isn’t it?”

“I didn’t know you had a twin, so it’s surprising, but I don’t understand why you’re suddenly saying this.”

Then Seol Yuhwa smiled slyly.

“I revealed my true identity now because it’s related to you.”

“Me?”

“Yeah.”

Seol Yuhwa nodded.

“I hunted down those delinquents.”

…Did she really just say all that?

This was truly an unexpected turn.

Seong Jichan also seemed taken aback, rolling his eyes in apparent disbelief.

“Uh, so… The reason those Hae Sung High School guys are causing trouble is because of you?”

Seol Yuhwa nodded.

“If what you said about the delinquent hunter is true, then yes.”

Seong Jichan fell silent for a moment.

“Then, maybe… Are you the World Ranker 1?”

The words ‘World Ranker 1’ coming out of his mouth felt strange. It was somewhat surreal.

“Heh… Did you know?”

A spark ignited between Seol Yuhwa and Seong Jichan.

The meeting of Ice Boy and World Ranker 1… truly extraordinary. I was at a loss for words.

Seong Jichan smirked.

“I see. So the rumors weren’t baseless…”

With these two together, I might not be able to handle it.

I quietly stepped back.

“Rumors?”

“There’s a rumor that the World Ranker 1 is in our school. That they hunt down delinquents.”

“Oh, interesting.”

Seol Yuhwa looked intrigued.

“The rumor seems quite accurate.”

In my opinion.

I think there’s some informant among Seol Yuhwa’s followers leaking information. Otherwise, such rumors wouldn’t spread so quickly.

Seong Jichan fell into thought for a moment.

“Then, was the Seol Yubin I saw at school recently also you?”

“That’s right.”

“Why were you pretending to be Seol Yubin?”

Seol Yuhwa smiled with a bitter expression.

“…It’s a long story. Do you want to hear it?”

It probably won’t be that long.

Seol Yubin clashed with Ji Seung-hyun and ran away, and Seol Yuhwa, thinking Seol Yubin ran away due to harassment, returned to Korea to seek revenge. Something like that?
While I was having such thoughts in my head, Seol Yuhwa nudged me.

“Explain yourself.”

“Huh?”

Momentarily startled, but I whispered to Sung Jichan exactly what I had just thought.

“…That’s how it happened.”

Sung Jichan nodded as if understanding my words.

“Anyway, let’s end the conversation here.”

After Seol Yuhwa glanced at Sung Jichan, she said, “Your current condition must be at its limit, right?”

Is it? He looks fine to me.

In my opinion, Sung Jichan seemed to show signs of a cold, but it wasn’t to the extent of collapsing. Nevertheless, Sung Jichan was simply positive.

“It’s a bit tough.”

“Alright, understood.”

Among fighters, there seems to be something only fighters can understand.

Seol Yuhwa said, “Rest for now. We’ll talk about the details later.”

So, leaving Sung Jichan to rest, we went outside.

I cautiously opened my mouth after observing the situation.

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

“Ask.”

“Why did you bring him here?”

“What do you mean?”

I added an explanation as if making excuses.

“No, I know his face, but we’re almost strangers. Couldn’t you have just left him alone? Was there a reason to pick him up?”

Maybe something like love.

In response to my question, Seol Yuhwa pondered for a moment.

“Just… he looked like a pitiful soaked puppy.”

Normally, wouldn’t people describe it as a dog?

I was briefly speechless at Seol Yuhwa’s choice of words.

“I had a pet dog when I was a child. It reminded me of that… so I couldn’t just pass by without pretending not to see.”

Anyway, it seemed like she brought him along because he looked somewhat pathetic.

“Yeah, he did look a bit pitiful.”

Well, love might start from sympathy, right?

Anyway, this event seemed quite successful in connecting the heroine and the hero.

…I just want to believe that.

“But can I go home now?”

He called me to take care of Sung Jichan. Now that it’s done, isn’t my mission complete?

“Let’s take the opportunity and escape.”

I quietly grabbed my belongings.

When I was watching for the right timing to slip away, Seol Yuhwa suddenly spoke.
I quietly packed my belongings.
