The Main Characters That Only I Know Chapter 252

# The main characters only I know episode 253

“I’m sorry about this. “Because Director Kim has a very arbitrary personality.”

“no. no. “Well, we didn’t do anything well either.”

“Anyway, I would like to thank you for your help today. And I will also compensate you.”

“If you give it to us, we will be grateful.”

Yoohyeon laughed and chatted with Choi Jung-mo.

However, Yoo Young-min seemed somewhat despondent, perhaps because of the expression on Dean Kim’s face after he left a little while ago.

After the conversation with Choi Jung-mo.

Yoo Young-min was able to complete his registration as a collector and escape from the association, like roasting beans in the heat of lightning.

Until then, Yoo Young-min didn’t say a word.

“brother.”

On the way home in silence, Yoo Young-min called Yoohyeon and stopped her.

Is it because it reminded me of Dean Kim’s incident a little while ago?

Yoo Young-min’s normally confident voice was unusually weak.

“why.”

“I don’t know if I did a good job.”

“what?”

“I just thought I might have done something a little mean to that old man… … .”

Youngmin Yoo still couldn’t forget the look on Dean Kim’s face when he showed off his abilities.

He seemed to know how Dean Kim felt.

There was no way I didn’t know that.

Before coming here, Yoo Young-min, who was a web novel writer before becoming a possessor, also experienced the same feeling as Dean Kim.

“That old man worked hard for several years to get to that position. No, not years. He might have been decades old.”

“however?”

“But I easily caught up with that person’s efforts just because I was a possessor and got tremendous privileges.”

“Then you should be happy.”

“How on earth?”

Yoo Young-min looked helpless.

I showed off my abilities to a high-ranking person in the association, but he was not happy at all.

Rather, the moment he saw Dean Kim’s expression, he realized what he had done.

‘This guy.’

Yoohyeon widened her eyes as if she was a little surprised to see Yoo Youngmin like that.

‘I thought you just didn’t notice. ‘That wasn’t it.’

Usually, when people are given power, they abuse that power.

They consider the abilities given to them out of nowhere as their own, and brag about all the achievements they have achieved as if they were their own.

And then he laughs at people who don’t use the power they’ve been given, calling them stupid.

“brother. “This is not my strength.”

Yoo Young-min didn’t like that.

This power was not his own. Rather, it was nothing more than a privilege someone forced upon me when I crossed over to this world.

Indeed, even if you use this and receive everyone’s awe, is the result truly yours?

“Youngmin. “That sounds like a full stomach.”

“i know. There are also people who have a hard time living because they don’t have these skills. But even if I know… … “My heart cannot accept it easily.”

Above all, what aggravated Yoo Young-min’s feelings the most was the money Choi Jung-mo gave him at the association level.

“… … “You said it was a reward of gratitude for helping me create an invention that would shake the world, right?”

Compensation of 3 billion won.

It was also an amount given in Dean Kim’s name. The enormous amount of money was immediately deposited into Yoo Young-min’s account.

As Yoo Young-min, I felt dazed.

3 billion was a sum of money he would never touch in his life.

Yoohyeon checked the time. Thanks to the fact that I finished my errands earlier than expected, I still had quite a bit of free time.

“Youngmin.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Let’s go for a walk.”

Yoohyeon led Yoo Youngmin to Han River Dunchi Park.

Yoo Young-min sat blankly on a bench with a view of the Han River.

Yoohyeon took a drink from a nearby vending machine and handed it to Yoo Youngmin.

“drink.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Yoohyeon sat next to Yoo Youngmin with a reasonable distance between them.

The two sipped their cans in silence for a while, taking in the peaceful cityscape.

“Are you calmer now?”

“Thank you, brother. “Thanks to you, his complicated mind got a little better.”

“So what do you think?”

“that… … “I still don’t know.”

Yoo Young-min smiled bitterly, recalling Dean Kim’s shocked expression.

He suddenly started talking about his past.

“When I was a web novel writer.”

“uh.”

“When I made money by writing, I was very happy. That’s right, right? Even though I have no family and no special qualifications, I made my own money while others were busy looking for jobs. I felt proud of that. “I earned an amount of money that an ordinary office worker could not reach.”

“I guess it went well.”

“It was like that. But, in reality, there were a lot of difficult things to do. The results may not be as good as expected, or you may change your mind several times to prepare for your next project and struggle for several months. Even though I worked so hard, I survived as a mediocre writer without any great works. “I continued to use it like that for 10 years.”

Yoo Young-min crumpled the can he had finished drinking in his hand. And then he lightly threw it towards a trash can far away.

Thanks to his incredible dexterity, the empty can went neatly into the trash can.

Yoo Young-min looked down at his hands and clenched and unclenched his fists.

“As I tried to make money and work hard, I also developed a sense of pride. I will become a greater writer later. I will make more money. I will rise higher. Something like this. So I worked hard, but the results weren’t very good.”

“It must have been difficult.”

“It was difficult. Was it because I had high eyesight? When I see the miserable results that fall far short of my expectations, I wonder why I am like this. If you look at it objectively, it’s not a bad thing, but it was still difficult for me to be satisfied. Still, I could be proud that I lived hard. “While everyone else was going to college and drinking and having fun, I worked part-time at a convenience store and wrote in a corner of a gosiwon.”

As an orphan without parents, I couldn’t go to college because I didn’t have money to pay tuition, and I couldn’t enjoy the basic life that everyone else enjoyed.

Although he was distressed by it, he was not dissatisfied. He thought that all he had to do was work hard and did what he could.

That’s how he succeeded as a writer.

It was natural for him to be proud of himself, but Yoo Young-min was different.

The emotion he had was anger.

“I thought I was doing well, but I happened to see someone like that. A person who is a few years younger than me, but has a nice foreign car and a house in his name. Even if I thought I had made a lot of money, I had things that I would never have thought of. “At that age.”

“It must have been something your parents passed down to you.”

“yes. that’s right. And I also saw that person having a great time.”

Yoo Young-min clenched his fists.

“I was angry.”

“… … .”

“Even though I worked so hard and tried so hard, others don’t do anything and live an envious life just because they are ‘born’. “Really, what effort did she have to get what she has?”

And how heartbroken it was when you saw it in person.

Yoo Young-min knows that what he is doing is ugly jealousy.

I also knew that this world was like that and that there was nothing I could do about it even if I was dissatisfied with it.

I know.

Even though I knew that, I couldn’t help but complain.

Because what he did to Dean Kim was not much different from what he suffered so much.

“100 million is a lot of money. To save just that, ordinary people have to work and save for years. Still, as a writer, I can make money within a year if my work goes well. But that 100 million won is nothing to that rich kid. “It would be the same for 1 billion or 2 billion.”

“yes.”

“But look at me now. It’s 3 billion. “And that’s the money I earned by activating a skill that wasn’t even my ability.”

Yoo Young-min was not immature to be happy purely with the amount of 3 billion won.

He was rather distressed.

Because what he did now was ultimately a denial of all his past values.

“The money I made by activating my skills in an instant was more than the money I made while writing for 10 years as a writer.”

It was difficult for Yoo Young-min to accept that cruel reality.

“The skill was activated for only 3 minutes. Are those 3 minutes using abilities that are not mine greater than the efforts of the past 10+ years?”

“… … .”

What you are doing is worrying about being full.

But, can you really say that to Yoo Young-min?

There are many people more serious than you. Rather, be grateful that you have that ability.

Such nonsense.

Will this really be able to calm Yoo Young-min’s complaints?

Are you saying that because the world is like this, we should just tolerate it and move on?

‘No way.’

How can Yoohyeon not know Yoo Youngmin’s feelings?

He sometimes thought the same thing.

If it weren’t for this golden light, would he have been able to come this far? In fact, isn’t she living as if she is better than others just because she has regressed?

It was purely my own effort to get this far.

I wasn’t so sure.

Their desire for improvement and pride were too strong to be satisfied with the given reality.

still.

“Youngmin. There is nothing I can do for you. “I know how you feel.”

“Your brother too?”

“okay. But let’s get this one thing straight. So what do you want to do?”

“I am… … I do not know.”

“So you want to quit being a collector? Are you going to stop for that reason? Then let’s ask something else. “Did Dean Kim get frustrated when he saw your talent?”

“that… … .”

no.

Although Dean Kim was surprised by the incredible talent that Yoo Young-min showed, he keenly felt his own shortcomings and became even more motivated.

Yoohyeon looked.

The golden light of that man’s potential shone much brighter at that moment.

“Director Kim was even more determined. But look at you. Instead, you sympathized with him. Did Dean Kim really want that? “Do you think he would feel better if he heard you say he was sorry?”

“… … .”

“I don’t think so. If anything, I would have done it if it made that person more angry. Then what about you, Youngmin? Do you want to give up everything and say you’re sorry for something like this? Are you going to throw away everything you have and start from the same starting line as everyone else?”

“… … no. I have to do it. Still, I have to do it. “How can I stop it?”

I had already decided to do it, but for this reason I couldn’t stop.

“That’s enough. If you are bothered by your overpowering abilities, then work harder. “I will do my best to live as little as possible.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Nothing can’t be done. Don’t just believe in your abilities, just keep trying. Well, it’s funny to lump it all together with idealistic words like effort, but actually, I don’t have anything else to say other than this.”

‘Still,’ Yuhyeon continued.

“You can’t stop. I have to keep going. There’s nothing else to do but this, so what’s going to change if I just get stuck here? “That doesn’t mean people praise me for doing well.”

“… … Yes.”

If someone had heard this complaint, they might have been annoyed that their stomach was full.

Even if I was hit by a stone on the street, I had nothing to say.

Yoo Young-min also knew that, so he only complained about Yoo-hyeon.

“So in the end, we have no choice but to live our best at every moment. Just to avoid being swayed by power or ability. At least, it may not be 100%, but we can be confident that more than half of it was our efforts.”

There is no such thing as ‘everything’ or ‘perfection’ in this world.

Even part of it is fine

He had no choice but to attribute his accomplishments to what could be called effort.

After hearing Yoohyeon’s words, Yoo Youngmin looked dumbfounded and nodded.

“… … My brother is right. Just because you have this power, you shouldn’t just be swayed by it. Rather, it is right to try to make this power my own.”

“It will be difficult. “As you do this, there will come a time when your heart becomes weak, and there will come a time when you want to compromise without even realizing it.”

Yoohyeon smiled and patted Yoo Youngmin on the back.

“At that time, don’t hold back and tell your brother that you’re having a hard time.”

“Uh, is that okay?”

“My job is to provide mental care to contracted collectors when they are having a hard time. “It’s just something that has to be done.”

When Yoohyeon said that, Yoo Youngmin also felt relieved.

Actually, this might be what I wanted to hear.

It’s okay. If you’re still really distressed, do your best not to embarrass yourself.

He did not think that the 3 billion he received was more than the value of his 10 years.

If so, I would put in a lot more effort.

So, you will prove that the value of the money you earn is not just your ability, but your own value.

Yuhyeon, who saw Yoo Youngmin’s determined expression, decided that this was enough.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“yes. thank you. “It’s thanks to my brother.”

“Then let’s go back quickly. Sumin will nag me.”

“yes? why?”

“I am learning martial arts. So, I make sure to set aside at least a few hours every day.”

Hearing that it was a martial art of the Heavenly Demon, Yoo Young-min suddenly became curious.

“Really? “Can I learn it too?”

“I think that would be difficult. That’s something ordinary people can’t learn. Well, what if you strengthen your body a lot by creating skills? Then it will be possible. Do you want to do it?”

“no. “I was just asking.”

“There are many martial arts that Mr. Sumin knows other than German martial arts, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn them for self-defense.”

“oh.”

When Yoo Young-min said that, he felt hopeful.

When an opportunity to actually learn martial arts comes up, how could a man turn it down?

“I was curious about martial arts. “I’m looking forward to something.”

“Don’t be too easy on me. “Mr. Sumin is very strict when he teaches.”

“severity… … ?”

Yoo Young-min recalled how on his first day at Baekhwa Management, he sparred with Seo Su-min as a test for joining the company.

Memories of being ignored as a young girl and then being mercilessly beaten.

wait for a sec. If you want to learn, you have to learn from him, but you won’t lose, right?

Yoo Young-min was worried about that.

“what’s the matter?”

“Uh, that… … therefore.”

Yoo Young-min smiled awkwardly.

“Can we do it later?”

“uh. no. late. “It’s a no-brainer.”

“… … ah.”

* * *

Agael has been in a really bad mood lately.

First of all, it was frustrating that I had to stay still, almost as if I was secluded, but more than that, it was because ‘Exodos’ tellers had been frequently snooping around in the Korean study recently.

‘Are these crazy fanatics snooping around looking for something to eat?’

Still, although the Pentagram Department and Exodos are said to have a cooperative relationship, Agael has never thought of them as colleagues.

It’s just a business alliance, and if you’re talking about likes and dislikes, the ones you don’t want to deal with are Exodos’ tellers.

Those who glorified despair and destruction had no choice but to hold out their tongues, no matter how distorted Agael’s personality was.

‘Furthermore, it seems like there have been a lot of collectors in Korea who call themselves Unleashed recently.’

Agael’s eyes were wrinkled.

Unleashed also had their eyes on Pentagram and made a proposal, but were rejected.

For a collector, they have very strong pride. Is it simply her illusion that those guys seem to have some kind of relationship with Exodos?

‘Whew. For now, you have to stay still.’

Agael was still unable to move carelessly.

However, this kind of life will not be long.

They may be holding their breath right now, but the moment the opportunity comes, they will snatch it up and regain their former glory.

“Hehehehe.”

Agael laughed darkly, as if she couldn’t hold back her laughter just imagining that.

Of course, the reality was, as always, a gutter.
