1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 7 Episode 13

13. Tears (2)

“A man of tears… is this?”

-okay.

Baek Jae-gun, who received a phone call from Han Ji-cheol, expressed his objection to what he said.

“What is that, brother?”

-Huh? didn’t you know? Ah, yes. If you had known right away, you wouldn’t have shown me such a dangerous path.

After hearing Baek Jae-geon’s reaction, Han Ji-cheol told him the story of a tearful man.

At the same time, he also sent links to speculative articles that had already been created through the messenger while telling the current community situation.

Baek Jae-gun checked the contents by clicking the links of the articles he sent.

[Ranking No. 1 Hoya face revealed! But something strange was revealed together?]

Hoya revealed his face at the venue of the 3rd Hero Daejeon Offline Preliminary which is being held today.

His real name is Seon Hoyoung, and he attracted attention with his outstanding looks beyond expectations.

But with him, strange marks on his wrist were spotted.

That scar that looks like it was caused by something sharp…

[The identity of the No. 1 ranking is a tearful man, and his suspicious past is peeking out.]

Today, it was revealed that Hoya (real name Seon Hoyoung), who was revealed through the 3rd Hero Daejeon Offline Qualifier, was a ‘crying man’ who received attention from some during the previous Seoul subway fire accident.

Also, traces of a suspicious past can be seen on his wrist, which was nicknamed the tearful man because of his crying appearance that was accidentally caught in the corner of the photo…

[Hoya, I served in the military for the past two years. He has a secret when he appears in front of the public.]

Seon Hoyoung, who had been hidden for the past two years, revealed the reason in today’s offline qualifier and gathered a topic.

When Mina asked her whereabouts for the past two years, she answered that she had been to the military, and delivered a video message to the members of the same unit with a confident voice.

But he also has a secret…

“her…….”

At the time of the subway fire accident, Baek Jae-gun, who had just learned that he did not know that he had lost even Ji-han Moon, burst out in tears.

At the same time, the understanding of the situation was completed.

“I don’t think there’s any need to step out from our side in this situation. Did you call with your brother thinking that way too?”

-Yeah, I think we’ll just have to handle it properly from the back.

Originally, the high school officials who saw Hoyoung through a live broadcast tried to open up the scenario using CCTV footage in a way that they anonymously file a social accusation using the data they had gathered out of guilt.

If that were the case, the starting point of the story would have been the Hanlim Daily.

And if it turns out that Ho-young is the grandson of the Baeksang group, there is a high probability that the story was even small that the Baeksang group was trying to undermine the Nanjin group through their close acquaintance with the Hanlim Ilbo.

It won’t be huge, but it’s never good for a group of people if any of those stories come out.But even with such a risk, I tried to work for Ho-young.

He also informed the president, Baek Yun-taek, of the fact and asked for permission in advance.

Baek Yoon-taek wanted to give Ho-young the affection he could not fully give to his deceased grandson, so he willingly allowed Baek Jae-geon’s work after much deliberation.

However, the permission was disregarded and the channel was opened elsewhere, so the Hanlim Ilbo became the starting point and there seemed to be no doubt about it.

* * *

“Thank you…… I haven’t done any damage to Hoya-sama…”

“No. I would have been in danger if I hadn’t stepped back in that moment.”

“Hoya-sama……”

The match between Hoyoung and Jang Ye-hyuk, which was the first match of the offline qualifier, ended with Hoyoung winning two straight wins in the best-of-three system.

There was never a moment that was dangerous for Hoyoung.

So, Jang Ye-hyuk realized that Ho-young had said that on purpose to take care of him, and felt a little grateful to him.

Because the title of threatening but failing was better than the title of being defeated in vain.

As Hoyoung and Jang Ye-hyeok shook hands, shouts resounded in the hall, and the two went down the stage as if taking turns with the players in the second match and entered the hallway leading to the players waiting room.

“Hoya-sama, will you wait in the players waiting room until the last match is over? Would you like to come in with me?”

Offline qualifiers will be held over two days for both individual and team events.

On the first day, only the round of 32 will be held, and on the second day, the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be held.

Therefore, the ticket for the second day is more expensive than the ticket for the first day, and since the first day continues with the second day, after all 32 matches are over, the 16 surviving players all come up to the stage and say hello at the last moment of the first day’s preliminary round.

So, until then, it was necessary to wait in the players waiting room or in the gym.

Jang Ye-hyeok, who lost, was okay to go back, but he would stay there to make friends with the other players while watching the rest of the match in the waiting room.

If you go into the waiting room with Ho-Young, it will probably be easier to reach other players.

“I’m sorry. I have an advance contract.”

However, Ho-Young had no intention of going back to the waiting room.

It was not polite to leave Doban and Yooa, who had flew all the way to Korea for himself, in the audience, and not visit them, so he had made an appointment in advance to meet at the back of the audience after his match.

“Pre-order? With whom…”

“It’s been a while, Hoyoung.”

When Jang Ye-hyeok was about to ask a question about Ho-young’s answer, a man walking from the players waiting room tried to tell him.

As a result, Ho-young’s steps stopped, and Jang Ye-hyuk, who confirmed the owner of the voice, thought that the man in front of him was the main character of the promise and left the seat.

“Did you know Eriman-sama?”

“……little.”

“Okay. Then, let’s talk!”

Jang Ye-hyuk left and only Ho-young and Lee Dae-hyun remained in the hallway.

A line was drawn on the corner of Lee Dae-hyun’s lips, looking at Ho-young.

But Ho-young, knowing that the smile was a fake painted with a fake, did not answer him with a smile.

“I didn’t even think that Ho-young was Hoya. I was really surprised.”

As Hoyoung didn’t open his mouth, and there was silence in the hallway, Daehyun Lee opened his mouth first.

On the outside, he portrayed surprise and joy, but on the inside he wasn’t.

And Ho-young knew that very well.

Actually, Lee Dae-hyun’s head was not very clean right now.

‘Hoya must have been that child. You can’t touch it.’

Lee Dae-hyeon knows that Ho-young is the grandson of the Baeksang group.

So he had to erase from his mind the idea of ​​spurting people to bring him down with a filthy whistle.

Although there was no blood, if you touched a member of the people group and found out about it, there was a high probability that you would get a bad aftermath.

Lee Dae-hyun had to fold up to Ho-young and enter.

Daehyun Lee was hiding the irritation caused by such thoughts by wrapping it in surprise.

“I think we will meet in the finals. Please take care of us until then.”

Daehyun smiled and held out his hand as if to shake hands.

However, Ho-young only looked at Lee Dae-hyun’s face with a blank face.

When I first started dating him, I was deceived by that smile.

However, I am not deceived now because I have experienced the nature of a person named Lee Dae-hyun once.

“……”

Ho-young did not respond to Lee Dae-hyun’s words, but drew a line with his mouth and smiled and nodded his head.

Lee Dae-hyun didn’t notice that his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were not so cold.

“Huh…, what is it?”

Lee Dae-hyun, who did not think that his outstretched hand would be ignored, smirked at Ho-young’s reaction and looked at his back with an absurd look.

‘As the lower classes entered the upper classes, did they lose sight of them? Look at how you treat people. ttt.’

* * *

Access to the hall and hallways to use the restroom was relatively free if he had a ticket and pass, so Hoyoung was able to easily enter the hall.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”

“Aaaah! You can’t fall back from there!”

“If you fall, it’s like you’re only giving yourself time!! Are you getting hit by the board and getting caught in the same trick again?”

“Cheer up, noona!”

There was a big difference between the heat felt on stage and the heat felt in the audience.

What I felt in the audience was hotter and bigger.

Ho-young, feeling the heat, looked around the back of the audience in search of Yoo-A and Do-Ban.The two of them were quite in front when seen from the stage, but they must have been somewhere nearby because they had promised to come back after their match.

“Wow-!”

“Wow!”

At that time, Ho-young, startled by the strong voice in his ear, turned around and saw a sniffling and smiling infant and Do-ban standing behind him.

“Wow, one reaction isn’t a joke? Whoa!”

“Don’t make fun of me. Where the hell have you been?”

When the infant pretended to imitate him, Hoyoung turned away.

The place where Yoo Ah and Do-ban appeared was the place Ho-young looked around.

“I was hiding right behind the door. I’ve been following you since you came in, didn’t you know? Hahaha!”

“Sorry, I couldn’t stop.”

On behalf of YooA, Doban apologized for surprising Hoyoung.

To such a Doban, Hoyoung waved his hand saying it was okay.

These two were not at all different from the game or the real world.

Feeling that way, as Hoyoung and the two of them tried to get out of the noisy venue for a conversation, an unexpected person spoke to him.

“Hoyoung-ah!”

When Hoyoung turned around at the sound of her friendly voice calling out to herself, the face of a man who looked similar to her caught her eye.

Somehow I felt familiar, but I couldn’t remember who it was.

“who……?”



“I’m Hee-ban, Kim Hee-ban.”

Hoyoung hardened her face at his words.

“Huh? Isn’t that the reporter earlier?”

“Hello, nice to see you again. Haha.”

When YooA recognized her, Heeban Kim smiled brightly.

It was worthwhile to keep an eye on the infant and the doban after finding them.

They thought that Hoya was the only reason they would come to Korea, so if you keep an eye on them, you will be able to meet Hoya.

Kim Hee-ban was just as happy as when he knew that this moment was Hoya, Seon Hoyoung, and that he was his friend.

“How many years has this been?

“…Hey, are you in a position to approach me in such a friendly way?”

Ho-young felt like he was upset by Kim Hee-ban’s attitude.

He did not show any guilt at all as he approached him, whether he did not think about the past or whether he was dismissing it as something insignificant.

If Kim Hee-ban had even said a small apology when he found Ho-young, Ho-young’s nerves would not have been so sharp.

“Huh? Why, why, Hoyoung-ah? We used to be close……”

“Yeah, we were close. But they’re all in the past tense. I was abandoned once…, our relationship was over by then.”
