The Main Characters That Only I Know Chapter 138 – 139

Chapter 138

Huff, huff!

Seong Yuchan ran desperately inside the black market, avoiding the people who were chasing him.

‘Damn it! Damn it! I left too many traces!’

Seong Yuchan was a hacker.

He made money by buying or selling information.

As a hacker, he didn’t always earn money honestly.

He often hacked into the information of criminal organizations and sold it to other groups.

Seong Yuchan was proud of himself as a genius.

He was confident that he wouldn’t get caught no matter what he did.

Being chased right now was a consequence of that.

He left too many traces and got tracked down by a hacker hired by the rival organization.

‘Huff. It’s okay. I know this area well.’

Seong Yuchan checked that the bulky men behind him were getting farther away and hid in an alley where no one was passing by.

It was unlucky that he got exposed, but that didn’t mean he would get caught.

This was the black market, where everyone hid their identities and operated.

As soon as he got out of their sight, there were plenty of places to hide.

“Damn! Where did he go?!”

“Damn it, they all look the same. I can’t tell them apart.”

“Stop talking and find him fast! He screwed over our organization! If we lose him, we’re dead by our boss’s hands!”

‘I did it!’

Seong Yuchan hid between the alleys and eavesdropped on their conversation.

The men from the organization couldn’t find him and scattered.

Seong Yuchan leaned his back against the alley wall and slid down to the ground.

The tension was released late, and his lungs demanded oxygen.

“Huff. Huff. If I knew this would happen, I would have exercised more.”

Seong Yuchan resented his poor physical condition. But he survived this time, so he decided to improve his fitness next time.

He made such an impossible promise to himself as he got up from his seat.

“There you are.”

“…!”

Seong Yuchan shivered at the sudden voice in the alley.

The owner of the voice was a young man.

Even looking at his face, it was like a foggy mist covering it, making it impossible to recognize.

At first, he thought it was someone who chased him, but it wasn’t.

He looked more dangerous than that.

‘He’s not a normal person!’

People usually wore masks in the black market, but if their faces were hidden like that, it could only be an artifact, a magical tool with mysterious power.

And those who used them were not ordinary people.

The man was with a woman who looked like his secretary. Her face was also invisible.

‘Could they be high-ranking people from the organization?’

Seong Yuchan was about to run away when the man, Yu-hyun, waved his hand at him not to be too scared.

“Don’t be like that. We have nothing to do with those guys who chased you.”

“What?”

Seong Yuchan wanted to ask what he meant by that.

“Hmm. Well, I’m interested in your ability…”

“There he is!”

Someone interrupted Yu-hyun’s words and shouted.

Looking back, he saw the bulky men who chased him earlier.

Seong Yuchan turned pale. He thought he had shaken them off, but he got exposed because of these two people.

“Oh dear. Is it because of me?”

Yu-hyun, who caused this situation, laughed exaggeratedly.

Seong Yuchan glared at him with resentment.

The bulky men approached the entrance of the alley.

“Who are you two? Are you his accomplices?”

“Not accomplices.”

“Then get out of here. Unless you want to get hurt.”

“No. I can’t do that.”

“What?”

The bulky men wondered what was going on.

They were not accomplices, but they couldn’t let him go?

Their arrows naturally pointed at Yu-hyun and Kwon Jia next to him.

“You’re not accomplices, but you can’t let him go?”

“It’s not now. I was going to recruit him.”

“…What kind of nonsense is this?”

The highest-ranking person here couldn’t hide his disbelief even with a mask on his face.

His subordinates cautiously advised him.

“Boss. Whatever happens, we have to catch that hacker bastard. Our boss is waiting for him.”

“I know.”

They had to catch the one they had to catch, but there were only two people blocking them.

On this side, there were five of them.

They had not only numerical superiority, but also only one pair on the other side.

They didn’t know who they were, but they had already become targets to eliminate since they blocked this side.

As the bulky men tried to approach them, Yu-hyun stepped back slightly.

“Secretary Kwon. Please take care of it.”𝑛𝗼𝘃𝖊𝑙𝗯𝔦𝔫.𝘯ℯ𝒕

“Huh?”

Kwon Jia frowned at the sudden burden.

Yu-hyun smiled mischievously and replied.

“That’s our role, right? I’m the rich young master. Secretary Kwon is my escort. So the escort has to fight for me.”

[As expected, my contractor! His personality is amazing!]

Yu-hyun naturally ignored Baekryeon’s sarcasm.

Kwon Jia glared at him for a moment, then looked at the bulky men who were slowly approaching.

‘Is it just me, or is he using me more often lately? Is it my imagination?’

The regressor felt strangely that Yu-hyun was becoming more comfortable with her, but she didn’t bother to refuse his words.

“Can’t be helped.”

Kwon Jia quickly grabbed the neck of the one who came first and slammed him to the ground.

Boom!

“Ugh!”

An explosive strength that couldn’t come from a slender body.

The man who felt that power throughout his body foamed at the mouth and fainted.

The other members of the organization trembled as they watched.

They underestimated her because she was a woman, but she was not an ordinary person.

“Wait, was she a collector?”

They recognized Kwon Jia’s power, but it was too late to run away.

Kwon Jia had already approached them.

“What is this…”

Seong Yuchan couldn’t take his eyes off the sight of a slender woman single-handedly subduing five bulky men in an instant.

As the situation was naturally resolved, Seong Yuchan asked Yu-hyun, who was standing in front of him with his arms crossed.

“Who are you?”

“Someone who wants to recruit you.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“I know very well. Seong Yuchan. A hacker. You’re called Black Mamba in this underworld, right? You have a name like a special force.”

“Crazy.”

Seong Yuchan felt a chill down his spine as his personal information flowed out of Yu-hyun’s mouth.

Seong Yuchan had never been exposed like this before, no matter how much he left traces.

But when his personal details came out of the mouth of a stranger he didn’t know, he was not surprised, but terrified.

“Don’t be too scared. I didn’t call you to do anything to you. I told you. I want to recruit you.”

“Who, who are you exactly?”

Seong Yuchan’s voice became more polite.

Hackers were basically people who harassed others unilaterally without revealing their identities. But a hacker who was exposed could no longer do that.

Seong Yuchan didn’t act arrogant.

He just realized that Yu-hyun was in a superior position and complied with him.

“Indeed. You’re very quick-witted.”

Yu-hyun praised his attitude.

Seong Yuchan didn’t know, but Yu-hyun had met him in the future.

Even after the apocalypse, Seong Yuchan survived as an information dealer for a long time, and he was someone who had a good relationship with Yu-hyun.

From Seong Yuchan’s perspective, who didn’t know that fact, it was only scary.

Yu-hyun spoke as if he knew him.

‘He knows everything about me!’

The awe towards him made him bow his head even more.

Yu-hyun didn’t intend it, but Seong Yuchan completely gave up on resisting him.

“Shall we move to a quiet place then?”

Kwon Jia, who had resolved the situation by now, came closer.

Seong Yuchan nodded his head. He had nothing else to do.

***

“Wow.”

A cafe in Seoul where people came and went.

Seong Yuchan looked at the two men and women sitting in front of him and couldn’t help but exclaim again.

“Kang Yu-hyun… You’re a teller. And next to you is Kwon Jia, a collector.”

“You know them well.”

“Well, I hear all kinds of things doing this kind of work.”

Seong Yuchan said in a crawling voice. He was even a unique figure in the same hacker field.

He was chased because he was careless and unlucky, but that didn’t mean his skills were dimmed.

He knew almost everything.

Yu-hyun found him because of that.

“You said you wanted to recruit me, but what exactly do you want from me?”

“I know that you’re good at programming. More than that, you collect various information that others don’t know, right?”

“That’s true.”

“We needed someone like that.”

Seong Yuchan didn’t understand for a moment.

If they were looking for him, they must have had a great source of information. Why did they choose him?

“Do you think it’s strange?”

“Yes, yes? No, no.”

“No. I understand. Well, let’s just say that the types of information are different. I’m a teller, so naturally the information I get is related to collectors. But lately, there have been a lot of other things happening. You know what I mean, right?”

“…Yes.”

The incident of Congressman Kwon Dongjin visiting White Flower Management’s office was quite famous in this underworld.

There was also a rumor that Yu-hyun joined hands with another party. Seong Yuchan realized what he wanted from him.

“Your ability to get information, I want that.”

“That’s…”

Seong Yuchan hesitated a bit.

He felt a slight aversion to becoming part of White Flower Management.

He was always a free person.

He hated being tied to somewhere.

But he couldn’t say that honestly, since Yu-hyun already had his neck twisted.

He had to do anything to survive, but he still had human feelings.

“I won’t force you. Even if you refuse, I won’t retaliate by spreading your personal information or anything like that. It’s all up to you. I’m just making an offer.”

And when he saw his generous attitude in front of him, Seong Yuchan felt himself drawn to him.

Awe that was not caused by coercion, but by voluntary acceptance.

Maybe this man could help him achieve his goal.

Seong Yuchan thought so.

“Seong Yuchan. What will you do?”

“…I’ll do it. Just leave it to me.”

Seong Yuchan took Yu-hyun’s hand.

It was logical and emotional to say that this was right.

There was no reason not to take his hand.

“I’m glad.”

Yu-hyun smiled at Seong Yuchan.

“I’m glad the devices I ordered didn’t go to waste.”

“What?!”

Seong Yuchan was shocked.

This man, did he already expect him to come here and buy things for him?

“You have the devices you used before, right? In addition to that, I’ll provide you with some more support. Just use them as you wish.”

“Th-thank you.”

Was this what it felt like to be on Buddha’s palm?

Seong Yuchan felt nervous as if he was dreaming, but he made a firm promise to himself.

Never mess with this man.

That’s how a new employee in charge of information gathering was added to White Flower Management.

Chapter 139

# The main characters only I know episode 139

“… … “What is all this?”

Baek Seo-ryeon muttered as she looked at the devices that came into the office.

In front of her were a number of computer bodies and monitors that looked expensive at first glance. Just looking at all the intricately woven lines made her head hurt.

In front of him was an unemployed young man who didn’t know where he came from.

“This is the new agent I recruited to our management.”

“… … Mr. Yoohyeon. I’m just saying my brain hasn’t caught up for a while, but when did we need a new member? “Is that person a collector?”

“no. “He is not a collector, but a well-known hacker.”

“Hey, hacker? Why are there suddenly hackers?!”

“Why would you do that? I hired them because I needed them. Mr. Yoo Chan. This is Seo-ryeon Baek. “He is the CEO of Baekhwa Management.”

“This is Seong Yu-chan. i look forward to. CEO.”

“yes yes? Ah yes. Please take care of me.”

Baek Seo-ryeon nodded her head hesitantly as she received Seong Yu-chan’s greeting. Seong Yu-chan was a man who seemed to have no spirit whatsoever. His body was slim, but he gave the impression that he was thin because he did not exercise.

His hair was also long for a man. Perhaps because she didn’t clean it up, her bangs were covering one of her eyes. Even the clothes are sloppy.

He looked so much like a hacker’s specimen that I couldn’t think of anything to say.

‘CEO? hmm. Well, I have eyes to see.’

Baek Seo-ryun was more pleased with Seong Yu-chan’s polite attitude of calling her CEO.

Although she was the CEO of Baekhwa Management, how have the three people in the management treated her so far? She is Kang Hye-rim, and although she is close to her and is like her older sister or younger brother, Yoohyeon does not treat her as her representative. Kwon Ji-ah had no doubt.

However, the new person(?) who came in called her CEO.

Baek Seo-ryeon’s vigilance melted away like ice cream under the hot sun.

“Well, it wouldn’t be a problem if one more person came.”

“… … “He’s such an easy person.”

“yes? Mr. Yoohyeon? I beg your pardon?”

“no. it’s nothing.”

Seeing Baek Seo-ryun smiling and turning her head in this direction, Yoohyeon averted her gaze, saying it was nothing.

“Hmm. But looking at it this way, it seems like there’s not enough space.”

Yoohyeon stroked her chin as she looked at the electronic devices that took up part of the office.

I knew from my experience that Baekhwa Management had been using a small office from the beginning. However, while the four of us stayed there, we never thought it was cramped.

This time, when Seong Yu-chan came in, I began to feel the shortcomings.

Because a large number of devices used by Seong Yu-chan were brought into the already small office, the office seemed even narrower.

“Special measures may be needed.”

Yoohyeon slowly realized that Baekhwa Management needed to find a new office.

And it was the same for Baek Seo-ryeon.

“Mr. Seoryeon. Have you finished disposing of all by-products?”

“yes. “I paid all the bills.”

“Then, combined with the cash I gave you, you must have accumulated quite a bit of money. How is it? “We will have to move soon.”

Baek Seo-ryeon nodded.

“There are a few places we have already checked. “It takes some time to compare and select the best parts among them.”

“Just a modest mansion will not be enough. Now, we need space for Hyerim and Jia to train, and we also need space for leisure and residence considering the new people who will come in the future. “It won’t work if it’s an average size.”

It was not easy to find such a place in Seoul, where land prices are high. The price was important, but the lack of items for sale was even bigger.

The good news was that I had enough money so I didn’t have to worry about taking out a loan.

“It would be okay to buy a fairly small building.”

“The competition will be very fierce. In addition, the entire interior needs to be completely renovated.”

“It will take quite some time, right?”

“At least two weeks or more.”

At that time, Seong Yu-chan, who had been listening quietly, cautiously raised his hand.

“excuse me… … May I help you?”

“yes?”

“It looks like you are looking for a building that looks good, and I can get information from this area as well. “Just tell me the conditions you need, and I can find it accordingly.”

“Oh, would you please?”

Baek Seo-ryeon only knew Seong Yu-chan as an excellent programmer. We don’t even know that he is a hacker called Black Mamba, famous in the behind-the-scenes world. So he said it in a nonchalant way.

Yuhyeon scratched her temple as she looked at that. If Seong Yu-chan speaks like that, it will definitely bring results that exceed expectations.

I could already see Baek Seo-ryeon looking surprised.

‘what. ‘I’m sure you’ll do well.’

And 15 minutes after Seong Yu-chan carefully said that he would come forward.

“I’m done.”

“Already?!”

Baek Seo-ryeon was surprised to see the flagship. She thought it would take at least 2-3 days, but 15 minutes was too short.

Could it be that he handled things roughly? If that was the case, he intended to say something harsh as the representative.

Baek Seo-ryun, who confirmed the information provided by Seong Yu-chan, looked at the data and Seong Yu-chan alternately.

“Uh, just the material I wanted… … Yes? No, but how can it be so fast… … .”

Seong Yu-chan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as Baek Seo-ryeon muttered in bewilderment, still unable to believe it.

“It’s been a while since I’ve checked through this regular route, so it took a little longer.”

“yes? “You mean this took time?”

“In the past, 3 minutes would have been enough. Oh. And there are ways to reduce purchase costs. When I secretly checked the information of the person who put this up for sale, I found out that he was a person who was subject to various legal restrictions. “If you try to negotiate using this as an excuse, you can beat the price considerably.”

“yes?!”

Baek Seo-ryeon didn’t know what to do at the words that went far beyond her thoughts. She looked up at Yuhyeon, who was standing next to her with a slightly tearful expression.

She was protesting strongly with her eyes, wondering where on earth she had picked up someone like that.

“Have you seen how incompetent the people I’ve chosen so far are?”

“No, no matter what, this is…” … .”

Baek Seo-ryeon sighed before speaking. If you think about it, hasn’t there already been a lot of surprising things for her so far?

Kang Yoo-hyeon, who is right in front of us, is a special kind of teller who will never be found even if we search the world.

Baek Seo-ryun has now decided to let go of common sense. Already, she had come too far to turn back.

“… … From next time, please at least give me some advice.”

“It must be difficult, because it’s so fun to see Seo-ryeon surprised.”

“I’m the representative?”

“yes. CEO. cheer up. Okay, fighting.”

“No, really.”

While the two were having this conversation, Seong Yu-chan was tapping hard on the keyboard, saying that he would take care of the tasks to be done in the future. The sight of all kinds of data flowing between multiple monitors was a sight that could only be seen on the theater screen.

“It’s all over. “It’s been a while since I’ve done something as basic as this, so it feels good.”

That’s basic?

Watching Seong Yu-chan speak reassuringly, Baek Seo-ryun could only say that he did well.

There was no vein in her praising voice.

* * *

“Starting today, this is Baekhwa Management’s new office.”

“and!”

Kang Hye-rim burst into admiration when she saw the small building near the station.

The entire six-story building was owned by Baekhwa Management. It even had a second basement floor, and thanks to the complete internal remodeling, it was in such perfect condition that nothing more could be done.

Baek Seo-ryeon still felt like she was dreaming.

“This… … “It’s surprising that we signed a contract at half the original price.”

“It was no big deal.”

From Seong Yu-chan’s perspective, it really wasn’t a big deal, but Baek Seo-ryeon found it difficult to understand. Yoohyeon wondered where on earth they had brought someone like that, and Seong Yuchan was no ordinary person either.

‘Oh, yes. ‘Good is good.’

She thought that worrying only harmed herself.

The interior, after all construction was completed, was much neater than a new building. Kang Hye-rim asked after seeing the spacious living room with furniture.

“and! Are we living here too now?”

“of course.”

Kang Hye-rim and Kwon Ji-ah had previously been living in a studio apartment, but there was no need for them anymore.

There were reporters trying to sneak up on them while they were going to work, and they even moved.

Management CEOs Baek Seo-ryun, Seong Yu-chan, and even Yoohyeon had separate rooms to stay in.

There is even space for training inside and a gym as well. Even though the work space, rest space, and living space were separated, there was enough space because the number of people was small.

“Still, I think there’s a lot of space left.”

Kwon Ji-ah, who checked the number of rooms, showed off her sharp eyes. Yuhyeon nodded his head.

“It’s natural, considering the collectors who will come under our management in the future. “For now, I’m thinking about the fourth.”

“There are two more people added. Even if that’s the case, it seems like there’s a little more room left?”

“ah. Of course, there is an owner there too. “Celine.”

When Yoohyeon called, Celine tore through the space and appeared.

Seong Yu-chan’s eyes widened at her appearance. It was my first time seeing the Kiik tribe, and especially Teller, appear as they cut through space.

“Did you call me?”

“okay. Can you see the room over there?”

“yes. That’s right.”

“This is where you will stay from now on.”

“yes?”

Celine’s expressionless face cracked. She didn’t seem to understand what Yuhyeon was saying.

“Why are you so surprised? Since you work together, you can stay there.”

“But, senior. “I am a teller with divine protection.”

“It doesn’t matter even if you have divine protection. The important thing is that you are also part of our family. It’s completely up to you whether you want to use it or not. But just know that it’s your room, no matter what anyone says.”

Celine felt a strange feeling at Yoohyeon’s words.

I already knew from experience that Yoohyeon was different from the average teller. But he didn’t think they would prepare a separate room for him like that.

‘One family.’

Those words kept ringing in Celine’s mind. And she was even more so because she received an actual gift, not just words.

The Kiik people have no concept of family. The Kiik people were simply born, grew, and grew in the light.

They didn’t even need to talk. Wings made of light naturally integrate each other’s thoughts and share emotions.

Among those privileged people, Celine, who voluntarily joined Astro Corporation to become a teller, was in some ways no different from an oddball.

A different species that is not accepted by anyone. That kind of treatment did not change even after joining Astro Corporation.

However, Yoohyeon was different.

Even though he knew her identity, he tolerated her, valued her abilities, and even treated her appropriately.

Celine had no idea how to react to being treated for the first time in her life.

Her eyes were simply fixed on the private visit assigned to her.

“… … How amazing.”

Seong Yu-chan muttered that while looking at Celine.

“why. Did you fall in love at first sight?”

“It’s not like that.”

Seong Yu-chan shook his head. Celine is definitely beautiful, but she has an indescribable aura that makes her difficult to describe.

However, I was just amazed by the shining wings spread out behind her back.

“It’s just that it’s my first time seeing Teller.”

“I’m a teller too?”

“… … “Is that so?”

Seong Yu-chan belatedly realized that Yoo Hyeon was the teller. It was an amazing thing. Although I had only met this man for a short time, he felt like a hometown friend I had known for a long time.

Even though I knew he was a teller, sometimes when I saw him, he seemed like just a person.

“Do you like Yu-chan more than that?”

“yes. Well, it’s not bad.”

Seong Yu-chan smiled awkwardly and said. She gave him his own room, and even had his own computer room. Compared to the narrow, empty room he lived in before, it was literally heaven.

It was a bit difficult to live in a group, but the atmosphere was free and there was nothing coercive. Seong Yu-chan realized how absurd his worries were before coming here.

“I don’t want to force anything on Mr. Yoo-chan. All you have to do is periodically check out the latest developments and inform them. “We will pay you compensation accordingly.”

“Ah yes. thank you.”

Seong Yu-chan’s personality, if I had to pick one, was close to that of a social misfit. He himself was aware of it.

So, while working as a hacker, I did not form a team or create colleagues. He was always alone and, in some ways, acted on his own.

However, when you talk to Yuhyeon face to face and feel his resourcefulness, you realize that even though you thought you were a poor person, you can get along so well with others.

‘Well, that’s enough. ‘As long as I can use a computer, anything is fine.’

Good things are good things, Seong Yu-chan was a person who was very adaptable. Thanks to him, he was able to survive as an information merchant even when the apocalypse occurred in the future.

Yuhyeon nodded with satisfaction.

After finding a new office, I felt like I could do something serious.

‘It would be perfect if nothing happened here.’

As if betraying Yoohyeon’s expectations, a call came from Choi Jung-mo. This time, the contact was not through Genesis Net, but through Yoohyeon’s newly opened device.

“yes. Choi Jung-mo. “What’s going on?”

-It’s a big deal. Mr. Yoohyeon.

“… … “What on earth is going on?”

Hearing Choi Jung-mo’s urgent voice over the phone, Yoohyeon also felt serious and quietly asked.

-It is a world of thought.

“What is the world of thought?”

-A new world of thought that had not been observed until now has emerged.
