Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 25

Min Dorim is a character who occupies 6th place in my bias character ranking.

An upperclassman one grade above us, he’s scheduled to be elected vice student council president in the upcoming student council election.

In the original work, he was described as looking like he’d popped out of a murim novel, and it was exactly right.

His long black hair ponytail is perfect.

His facial features are truly distinct and pretty, yet amid that, his overall lines are bold so his masculine beauty stands out.

The real thing is 59,000 times better than the illustration!

As expected, visuals are superior!

‘It’d be so nice if he’d just not open his mouth.’

Actually, I didn’t particularly like early-stage Min Dorim.

Because there were as many as 2 barriers to becoming a fan.

First, his personality isn’t my taste.

I personally prefer characters in novels who work hard, but Min Dorim was excessively laid-back. A carefree idler with no sense of responsibility, and amid that, he even pretended to be a playboy.

Second, Min Dorim constantly rebelled against my other bias character. The bias I’m referring to here means the student council president Yoo Seoha, who occupies 5th place in my bias ranking.

Who is Yoo Seoha!

Heavenly beauty that captivates both men and women! Overwhelming atmosphere that makes crowds prisoners! The academy’s number one spear genius! Heir to Azure Dragon Guild boasting the greatest wealth in the work! Sharp intelligence and character that takes care of those around her! Unnie, take the whole world!!! …a character who makes you shout that.

There were some criticisms that she was a bit rigid, but the hardworking genius beauty tycoon spear-wielder unnie hit my taste perfectly.

But whenever our unnie tried to do something, the person nitpicking from the side was precisely Min Dorim.

— Haha, how about you loosen up a bit, president?

— Hey, our president is always so hasty. Is someone chasing you?

Honestly… he was an eyesore.

Min Dorim entering my bias rankings was after the ‘Training Camp Incident.’

In <On the Brink of Destruction>, catastrophic incidents always sweep through major events, and a mastermind appeared at the training camp without fail.

A somewhat predictable development of luring professors elsewhere and massacring freshmen in the meantime. There was someone who noticed that development—precisely student council president Yoo Seoha.

After ordering the student council to evacuate freshmen, Yoo Seoha fought the enemy alone to buy time.

The opponent was a mastermind using Authority.

It was a fight with no chance of winning, and she knew it too. But she stepped forward anyway—that’s what makes our unnie our unnie.

Given the situation, this time Min Dorim also didn’t object and obediently followed Yoo Seoha’s instructions. He transported freshmen and now just needed to enter the safety zone himself, but…

Min Dorim couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Instead, he began running back the way he came.

— You stupid woman!

Shouting this.

Only then did Min Dorim realize.

That he’d fallen for Yoo Seoha.

Probably from the first moment he saw her.

Min Dorim, who’d preached safety first, ultimately engaged in combat risking his life for the first time to protect Yoo Seoha.

It wasn’t completely without a chance of winning.

It was just because he didn’t put in effort—Min Dorim was a sword genius counted among the best in academy history.

However, his usual neglect of training held him back, and the mastermind’s fangs pierced toward Min Dorim, who couldn’t move a single finger.

Min Dorim gave a self-deprecating laugh and closed his eyes, but—

— Stab!

What the fangs pierced wasn’t Min Dorim.

Because Yoo Seoha had become his shield.

Watching Yoo Seoha collapse lifelessly, Min Dorim bloomed a new ability and defeated the mastermind in a joint attack with Ki Hyeonmin, who appeared belatedly.

But when he returned after finishing everything, Yoo Seoha had already grown cold.

Min Dorim embraced her corpse and made a belated confession, but the confession that lost its owner echoed in empty air before disappearing.

Sob, just thinking about it tears my heart to shreds in real time.

Anyway.

After that incident, the carefree idler became a pessimist who drove himself to desperation.

Because the trigger for gaining new abilities was Yoo Seoha’s death.

An ability that couldn’t help at the needed moment.

An ability obtained by sacrificing the woman he liked.

Min Dorim loathed his own ability, took on only dangerous roles, and engaged in battles close to gambling.

The desperate struggle of a beast that couldn’t die.

Even until his last moment, Min Dorim wasn’t free from guilt.

If you had survived instead of me, if I’d listened to your nagging a bit more, if I’d realized just a little earlier… would something have changed then…

He closed his eyes while regretting like that.

‘The author really is too much.’

Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Because I saw things while re-reading multiple times.

Though not clearly stated, looking at descriptions between the lines, Yoo Seoha definitely liked Min Dorim too.

Min Dorim thought Yoo Seoha saved him because of the student council president’s duty or sense of responsibility, but it wasn’t so.

She gave her life to protect someone she liked, and passed away while smiling watching Min Dorim bloom his ability.

‘This life I’ll definitely make you a couple, I will!!’

Strength naturally enters my fists with a clench.

I don’t really like romance mixed into action, but humanly speaking, let’s pair these two up.

While making such a resolution, Min Dorim was striding toward me.

The violet eyes that captured me widened slightly.

“An incredible person has arrived! Your name?”

“Yeon Sora.”

【Intimacy has been established with a character.】

【Would you like to check now? Y/N】

I immediately shoved the pop-up window back down.

Meanwhile, Min Dorim was whistling with a sly expression.

“This year our dormitory will be quite bustling, huh?”

“Pardon?”

“Beautiful flowers always attract bugs.”

“……”

“If you have any difficulties, tell me anytime. I can help. Not just school matters, personal matters are fine too.”

The finish is a wink while squinting one eye.

Cheesy…

My stomach churned like I’d eaten a whole pint of butter, goosebumps rose on my arms, and my body trembled, but… simultaneously my heart swelled.

‘Still innocent!’

Well, because the living Min Dorim is before me.

Not a miserably wailing beast, but the frivolous Min Dorim from his immature days.

Beyond happy, moisture begins rising to my eyes embarrassingly.

‘My baby, this life you must be happy! This noona will help you! Just trust noona!’

While I was fervently gushing internally,

“Senior.”

Orange hair suddenly flashed in my vision.

Yeom Juwan had wedged himself between me and Min Dorim.

“I-if you speak like that, she might misunderstand.”

Yeom Juwan stepped forward to cover me like a loyal guard dog.

If he were bigger, it would’ve been large dog vibes, but the current Yeom Juwan is a shrimp before his explosive growth.

A situation where a large dog was reduced to a small dog due to physical limitations.

However,

‘Crazy!’

This is swoon-inducingly cute.

Aww, our Chihuahua! You wanted to protect Yeon Sora?

If there were no watching eyes, I would’ve performed 33 forward rolls of emotion, but thinking of Yeon Sora’s dignity, I had no choice but to cover my mouth and scream dolphin screams in mute mode.

Meanwhile, Min Dorim is also looking at Yeom Juwan with an expression similar to mine.

“Who might this adorable young master be?”

“I’m Yeom Juwan.”

“Right, Yeom Juwan. What misunderstanding?”

“Saying ‘I can help not just with school matters but personal matters too’ while e-even winking might startle the other person.”

Unexpectedly, Yeom Juwan’s gaze flew and landed on me.

Following that gaze, Min Dorim also looked at me.

Both have rather surprised faces.

‘Oh no!’

Only then did I realize.

That embarrassing gushing tears had formed in my eyes.

Even my left hand is performing the task of covering my mouth.

In short, I’m covering my mouth with moisture fully gathered in my eyes.

A perfect situation to be misunderstood as a gentle elf girl shedding tears after receiving a single wink.

“Seems I startled you. Sorry. Um… my manner of speaking is originally like this.”

Min Dorim is already sheepishly scratching his head.

“I don’t mean anything weird, but conspicuous female students attract a lot of bugs. There are guys who come to the dormitory every single day saying they want to see a face.”

That’s about Yoo Seoha, right?

Because Yoo Seoha suffered so much from stalkers that she put up iron walls with all human relationships.

“There are cases where it’s bothersome but lacking evidence to openly suspect. I meant to tell you not to hesitate even in such situations. As dorm head, I can at least prohibit outsider entry.”

Min Dorim’s appearance of seriously apologizing is unfamiliar.

I can hear the barrier to becoming a fan crumbling down.

My baby… I thought you only matured after tragedy, but you had this side from early on?

“Sorry for making potentially misleading remarks.”

“No, thank you for your concern.”

I open my mouth barely controlling my surging cheeks, but seeing my face, Min Dorim stiffened hard.

“……”

“……”

A terrible silence flowed.

Wondering what kind of situation this is, I glance around once, and freshmen who made eye contact with me all begin lowering their eyes.

And I immediately understood the situation.

‘Seems I smiled again.’

I apparently smiled unconsciously.

When Yeon Sora smiles, it always becomes eye-level education time.

By now, aren’t subtitles like [Laughable human! How dare you to me!] floating around beside me?

Why on earth did they add such an inconvenient setting? Seems completely useless.

Anyway, thanks to that, the atmosphere became strange from the dorm entry.

I’m turning my head on how to handle this when Min Dorim moved one step faster.

“Haha, I showed a strange side from our first meeting! Once more! I’m dorm head Min Dorim! As you can see, I’m a bit lacking as a human, but I’m not someone completely unreasonable, so if I cross the line, speak honestly.”

Min Dorim regressed to the idler met for the first time, and approached freshmen with a swaggering gesture.

His brazen speech smoothly loosened the tense atmosphere.

“Don’t call me dorm head, just comfortably call me hyung! Same school, same dorm means we’re no different from siblings! What’s your name?”

“I’m Do Jungyeong! Ah, h-hello!”

“Don’t drain your energy like that just for a single greeting! Live like that and life becomes tiring?”

“Y-yes!”

“Good grip strength? Aspiring to be a Swordsman?”

“Yes! I’ve dreamed of being a Swordsman since childhood, so I’m going to try hard!”

“Don’t decide too quickly! Life is long, so you can figure it out gradually, right? Haha!”

Min Dorim shook hands with freshmen individually while offering advice-like things.

Should this be called advice?

Every one can be summarized as ‘Life happens once, let’s live comfortably.’ Come to think of it, it has strangely similar aspects to my ‘aesthetics of giving up’?

We have similar life mottos!

Min Dorim, who gave individual advice to the chicks, stood before Yeom Juwan.

“Yeom Juwan, sorry about earlier.”

“It’s nothing, senior.”

“I told you to call me hyung, not senior?”

“Ah, yes…”

Min Dorim is grinning brightly at Yeom Juwan.

Yeom Juwan is stepping back, flustered by excessive favor.

“You’re a Flame Mage, right? Rumors are already spreading~”

“Yes…”

“Amazing, right? You know flame magic is in the top 10%?”

“That’s… right.”

“I’m jealous! Compared to elemental magic, swordsmanship is no different from manual labor.”

Jealous my ass.

Yeom Juwan’s calamity-class flame magic is undoubtedly an excellent ability, but Min Dorim’s skill is a super rare ability.

It’s also one of the skills I covet most.

Anyway, Min Dorim seems quite taken with Yeom Juwan.

“For magic types, mana operation is important, and I happen to have some talent in that area? How about, to apologize as well…”

Min Dorim extended his hand to put an arm around shoulders, but Yeom Juwan blatantly flinched.

The embarrassed right hand floated in midair before settling back near Min Dorim’s waist.

“Haha! This is, I’ve kept everyone too long. You must be tired, so each of you go into your rooms!”

Wait a moment.

It seems like he was about to say something important just now…

Why start talking then stop?
