The woman wearing a black mask continued to cry her heart out to Haemin,
"I suddenly saw Ryu Jinmu in the hall! Waa, he looks so scary, you know! He looks mad and all, and I thought, ah, Haemin-nim was surely with him!"
Ryu Jinmu? Ah, that crazy guy…
She was clearly talking about the handsome man who threatened to kill him if he saw his face again. She added while shaking her head.
"I really, really didn't want to talk to him at all! But then, Raehwan-nim suddenly sent me a message, asking where you are! Waa! Young master, do you understand the hardships I had to go through because of you?! Please don't ever get out of my sight again, please, please!"
Raehwan-nim? Another guy I don't know.
That's when he decided to finally push her away from him and said,
"Wait, wait. Hold on, I just woke up, so…"
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
She finally moved back and gave him space. The woman pulled her mask up and scratched the back of her head.
"Haemin-nim, are you okay? Hunter Ryu Jinmu looked really furious earlier. I was worried he might hurt you."
"Hunter?"
Haemin's frown made the woman flinch. She clasped her hands together and leaned to him,
"Y, yes? Did I say something wrong?"
Her nervous expression, however, just made him uncomfortable.
"No…"
Why is she cautious? More importantly, hunter? Is that a thing in this world?
He faked a cough, and peeked at her.
"Hmph, so this Hunter Ryu Jinmu… does he hate me?"
She tilted her head,
"Eh? Young master, are you kidding me? You are, aren't you? Ha ha! Is that even a question? Of course, he hates you! I mean, after all that nasty things you did before until now just to get him to bed with you––ah."
As if she said something she shouldn't have, she quickly covered her mouth and looked away, not noticing her young master's shocked face.
B, bed with me?! Me—no, this guy did what?! T, then that means his words earlier about planning stuffs and all… it was all true?! No, just how much of a trash is the original owner of this body to do that?!
He clenched his chest in frustration. Frustrations he couldn't voice out.
"I, is that so? Ha ha… You must have been with me for a long time, huh?"
Even though he said it as lightly as possible, the woman still flinched.
"I, I, I apologize, young master! I crossed the line there, didn't I? I'm really sorry, please have mercy!"
She knelt in front of him with pleading eyes while clasping her hands together as if she were praying to all kinds of gods to save her.
Baek Seungho's mouth opened wide, not knowing how to react.
What? I haven't done anything, though?! I just want to know, how long have you been with the owner of this body?! Why are you acting like I'm threatening you?!
He reached his hand out,
"Come on now, don't apologize. I'm not mad, alright? And don't kneel just like that to people. A lady shouldn't be kneeling like that…"
"Huh?"
He reached his hand out, while she only let him help her stand with a dazed expression on her face.
She asked him,
"Young master, are you sure you're really okay? Did Ryu Jinmu hit you on the head? You alright?"
She even checked if he had a lump on his head, but found none.
His hands twitched, and his body stiffened.
"No way…"
Wait, Ryu Jinmu? Ryu Jinmu, Ryu Jinmu… Baek Haemin, Raehwan… Why do all those names seem so familiar? Ryu Jinmu, Ryu Jinmu…
He touched his temples, trying his best to remember where he had heard those names before. After a few moments, he finally realized.
Ryu Jinmu! That's right, Ryu Jinmu is the main character in Shiro's novel! The one where I asked him to re-write! Baek Haemin is… wait, who is he again? I think I remember Raehwan, though. Dammit, don't tell me I transmigrated in the body of an extra, of all people?! Why can't I remember anything about this guy at all?!
He scratched his head roughly, making the masked woman worried once more.
"What's wrong, young master? Are you hurt? S, should I make a call to Raehwan-nim?"
He grabbed her by her shoulders,
"That's right! Raehwan! Tell me, what's my relationship with him? Hurry!"
"E, eh? H, Haemin-nim is obviously… Raehwan-nim's precious little brother?"
His eyes widened. Another realization hit him.
Little brother?! This guy is Baek Raehwan's little brother?!
The strength in his hands slowly vanished, freeing the woman from his grasp.
His mouth opened,
"...I'm screwed."
He couldn't remember the name of Baek Haemin, but he knows about Baek Raehwan's younger brother. That's because one of the most memorable characters in Shiro's novel, Rise of the SS-Rank Hunter, is Baek Raehwan.
And it's not for a good reason. Because Baek Raehwan, that guy, has a serious case of a brother complex! He's a freak who doesn't hide his obsession with his little brother! Even though his brother's name was almost never mentioned in the novel, Baek Haemin had one role.
His legs gave out.
"Haemin-nim?"
If it weren't for the masked woman helping him, his knees would have already hit the floor. His eyes started tearing up again.
Baek Haemin is… the guy who was thirsty for Ryu Jinmu! After pissing him off repeatedly, he then got beaten up to death by the main character!
His hands clutched tightly onto the woman's clothes while he wailed loudly.
"Dammit!"
Dammit, dammit! Of all people, of all people! Why? Why?! Why did I have to go to this body?! Why?!
[System:
Answer. Baek Haemin died exactly when your soul started to wander into this world, landing you onto his body right after.]
What? T, then, are you telling me it's all a coincidence?
[System:
Answer. Yes, exactly.]
Exactly? Exactly?! You damn system… that's even worse!
He sniffled with his runny nose to read the system's message, but it only made his tears flow even more.
"Ugh… wahhh!"
"Haemin-nim?!"
His screams vibrated all throughout the building.
