“I’d like to come with you and help you with your work, Chan-young ssi.”

 

After eating, I rinsed my mouth with the sweet sikhye, when Seo Eun-soo suggested to me again. It was quite a flustering situation for me.

 

“What’s wrong with Seo Eun-soo? I’ve been telling you this for a long time, but just take a rest. If you’re bored, I’ll lend you a car, so you can go for a drive to get some air.”

 

“I’m not saying this because I’m bored. As a part-timer, I want to help you with your work.”

 

It was beyond comprehension. It’s obvious that ordinary people will enjoy their salaries and come back after enjoying themselves without doing anything. I felt uneasy when he said that he wanted to help with farming on his own.

 

“Seo Eun-soo ssi, farming is not an easy thing to do…….”

 

“There’s no easy thing in the world. And I don’t think I can’t do it either, when Chan-young, who is slender, can do it well.”

 

“Did you just say I am thin?”

 

“That’s right. You’re a gentle person like a willow leaf.”

 

“Me?”

 

I seriously thought that Seo Eun-soo’s eyes were sprained. Seong Chan-young’s body was a perfect beta on the outside. This was not the case, even if I had been perceived as an image of a sick patient who had been snoring for a few days.

 

“Seo Eun-soo ssi. Can you see this?”

 

I strained my arm to show off a muscle.

 

“Your arm muscles are pretty.”

 

“Yes, it’s pretty……It’s not everything. “Who says you’re pretty when you look at the male arm muscles?”

 

“But Chan-young’s arm muscles are really pretty.”

 

“…….”

 

As Seo Eun-soo became an alpha, it was clear that his taste became strange. For a moment, I thought I should show off that my abs are clear, too.

 

‘I feel like he’s treating me like a rabbit…….’

 

There was no malice in his smiling face. Only genuine sincerity was 100 per cent filled, so I lost my fighting spirit.

 

“Seo Eun-soo, just one piece of advice, seriously, don’t say that when you meet an omega who will be your partner later.”

 

“What?”

 

“I can’t believe you said my arm muscles are pretty……. I’m going to watch it through the helpline. If you don’t want your first impression to be stuck in a helpline, do as I say.”

 

“I have no intention of meeting anyone else.”

 

Seeing Seo Eun-soo express his will not to meet anyone, I felt like I was in the position of an elderly relative who was criticizing him for not marrying anyone yet.

 

“Even though you might be like this now, you may want to get married later. Or you’ll have someone you want to date. You don’t know people’s lives, so don’t draw a conclusion already.”

 

“Chan-young ssi, I don’t think you’re in a position to say that.”

 

Ugh. I had nothing to say because I was living alone and enjoying my own Yolo life. I was defeated by a logical rebuttal.

 

“……But we don’t know what the future holds. Seo Eun-soo is pretty, handsome, and has good manners, so people will flock.”

 

Seo Eun-soo was an alpine character with a celebrity-like appearance. He was growing taller and bigger, so it was only a matter of time before he became famous.

 

“It’s money. I’m paying you enough for your part-time job, so that’s no problem.”

 

Seo Eun-soo couldn’t even imagine this, but I planned to support him so he wouldn’t fall into an economic crisis even after finishing this honey part-time job for his happiness.

 

‘Chairman Seong has already been persuaded. Seo Eun-soo has not had an economic foundation but he is smart, so he will be able to be reborn as a great talent.’

 

I wanted to open up the possibility of Seo Eun-soo. Of course, I wasn’t being this nosy because I was a philanthropist.

 

This was because I wanted to help create Seo Eun-soo’s future, which was not seen in the original work. The first motivation to realize this was to safely escape from the villain, but it also began with the sincere hope that the main character, Seo Eun-soo, would be happy.

 

‘In the end of the original work, Seo Eun-soo didn’t seem really happy…….This should be all right.’

 

Seo Eun-soo, who has a long way ahead, was an attractive person. When he had no money, even trashy people put a trick on him, but I had no doubt that if the situation stabilized, someone who would care for and love him would appear.

 

Until then, it was a blessing to act as Seo Eun-soo’s long-legged uncle, but his expression was strange.

 

‘What’s that look like he had found a bug in a rotten pumpkin.’

 

“Chan-young ssi, do you want to get rid of me like those alpas?”

 

That was his reply. However, I held it in because I thought I would become trash if I told Seo Eun-soo, who looked like he was crying. I didn’t want to make him cry.

 

“No. No way do I want to get rid of Seo Eun-soo. It’s because Seo Eun-soo can go back only after those humans leave.”

 

Under the contract, Seo Eun-soo had to give up on the gongs to stay with me so that he could go back home. I didn’t want to hold Seo Eun-soo, who had to go to school again, all the time.

 

However, Seo Eun-soo looked disappointed.

 

“After all, it’s the same thing. That you want to send me back.”

 

What have I done wrong in my previous life? Seo Eun-soo sullenly drooped his shoulders, and his mouth dried up.

 

“Seo Eun-soo knows better that it’s not like that. When did I say that about Seo Eun-soo?”

 

There was no reason for Seo Eun-soo to be disappointed with me just by looking at the goodwill I have shown so far.

 

‘Didn’t I treat him well?’

 

I thought I was good enough to do this, but didn’t the same goes for Seo Eun-soo? I was also disappointed. I think Seo Eun-soo doesn’t know how much I want her to be happy.

 

“Well…… If Seo Eun-soo really wants to work, I won’t stop him. I was the one who suggested that Seo Eun-soo could roam freely while he was here.”

 

“Really?”

 

“But Seo Eun-soo said…… I don’t know if I can say this, but it’s hard for me to understand why you’re constantly flocking around me. I don’t even know what you want from me or what you’re upset about.”

 

I was also a human being, so I couldn’t show only infinite goodwill. It wasn’t bad to trust and follow me like a bird imprinted by Seo Eun-soo, but I couldn’t be next to Seo Eun-soo forever.

 

“I…….”

 

I smiled at Seo Eun-soo, who stood speechless, and put a wedge in it.

 

“As you may remember, Seo Eun-soo, I apologized to Seo Eun-soo and the alphas working there for the evil I had committed, asked not to see you again, and left.”

 

“…….”

 

“In fact, our relationship should have ended there. Because of my circumstances, Seo Eun-soo is with me now, but those alphas are feeling a bit sour after knowing that Seo Eun-soo is an alpha, so you can go home without being more tied up.”

 

If he wanted, I could have brought the contract I had written with Seo Eun-soo and revised the contents. If he needed a penalty, I could pay him as much as he wanted.

 

“I want Seo Eun-soo to do what you want to do freely. Would that be enough to relieve your disappointment?”

 

It was also what I hoped for on my sick days. Yes, I felt like I had projected myself onto Seo Eun-soo of the original book, who was bound by a ring of poverty and was forced to be dragged around by alphas.

 

Just as I am happy with farming now, I hoped he would live doing what he wanted to do, like a fish playing freely in the water, completely out of touch with the original.

 

Seo Eun-soo’s eyes, which had been unable to take off on my mouth for a long time, seemed to sparkle.

 

“Chan-young ssi…… Why are you so kind to me? You were really mean, but now I’you’re m like a tree that gives generously without any reward. I’m quite confused.”

 

I was captured by Seo Eun-soo’s sparkling black eyes. I could understand the confusion. Because I’m someone else. I’m not the real Seong Chan-young, but a connoisseur who had somehow settled in this body.

 

“You said you didn’t know what would happen to people. It’s in the same vein.”

 

I didn’t tell Seo Eun-soo my secret until the end. If it were revealed that I was not Seong Chan-young, I was the one who had a lot to lose.

 

‘I don’t want to hear him tell me to give them back the real Seong Chan-young like in a dream.’

 

I didn’t do anything wrong, and I didn’t want to be treated as the criminal who took away the real Seong Chan-young. If this was also greed, it was greed. I was selfish because my happiness was important.

 

Seo Eun-soo, who was still looking at me, opened his mouth. It was a gaze that nearly blinded my eyes.

 

“Isn’t it up to me to stay here with my will?”

 

“Is Seo Eun-soo also interested in farming?”

 

“It’s not that, but this is where my interest lies.”

 

What could it be. Maybe it’s General? My baby was very cute.

 

I didn’t want to dig deeper, so I answered with the intention to cheer him up.

 

“If you have something you want to hold on to, do so. If Seo Eun-soo really wants to stay here, I don’t have the right to stop you.”

 

It was only when I said that Seo Eun-soo laughed. Like a flower.

 

“I was hoping you’d say that.”

  1. ….Seong Chan-young, his interest is you. You are what he wants, don’t regret letting him stay later. You brought this one in willingly.
