Chae Nayun helplessly looked at me with her father’s sudden arrival.

“Ah, that’s my dad.”

“Alright, see you later.”

“N-No, you don’t have to leave. I, I’m not embarrassed to have you here…”

“I know.”

The door opened before we could finish and a light breeze blew in. Tap, tap. A man in a suit walked in.

I stood up and greeted Chae Shinhyuk. I’d seen him several times in the news, but we finally met for the first time.

“Hm?”

He looked similar to Chae Nayun, but with a sharper appearance. His taller height made it seem as if he was coldly looking down at me.

Neither his appearance nor aura seemed ordinary. However, Chae Shinhyuk wasn’t particularly outstanding as a hero or businessman. He spent most of his youth in his father’s shadow. Despite his average talent, he became the Chae clan’s successor thanks to his righteous character and endless self-cultivation.

“Who’s this?” Chae Shinhyuk asked.

“Ah, I’m Chae Nayun’s friend. My name is Kim Hajin.”

“Kim Hajin…”

Chae Shinhyuk rubbed his beard.

“H-He’s just a friend. There’s nothing between us.” Chae Nayun scratched her cheek in embarrassment.

“I’ve heard of you. You’re quite well-known in Cube. Your weapon is a gun, correct?”

“Ah, yes.”

“I see.”

Chae Shinhyuk tapped my shoulder. I forced a smile and headed towards the door.

“I’ll let the two of you talk.”

I wasn’t used to such a bigshot and spoke as politely as possible. Chae Shinhyuk returned a big smile.

“Thank you.”

“No problem.”

“B-Bye. I’ll message you later.”

I left the room without replying to Chae Nayun. Then my smartwatch rang as I closed the door.

“Hello?”

— Yes, customer. The items you ordered are ready for delivery. I’ve called for your address...
