Chapter 11: A new enemy or ally?
In a dark room with four walls, there is a large table in the center, and in front of it is a boy with dark red hair, who was moving a chess piece on the board. Gangbuk North School No. 2 [Daniel] (Not the Daniel from Lookism)
"Sunbae-nim, I have tracked down Kim Suhyeon's location as you requested," said a somewhat nervous subordinate from the North.
"They're at the beach, aren't they?"
"Sunbae-nim... Have you investigated it yourself?" he asked, surprised, then added, "His name is well known throughout Gangbuk since his first appearance on social media, known as Fuda Yaburi. More videos of him began to be posted, and more and more crazy fans wanted to meet him in person. There are some theories that he is a vigilante... he once caught some robbers who were stealing from a kimchi store, and Fuda Yaburi stopped them with one blow," said the subordinate, somewhat excited, without hiding his fanaticism.
"Fuda Yaburi... what a strange name... I'll see you soon, Suhyeon," thought Daniel.
"One last thing... Sunbae."
"Tell me," he replied simply, leaning back in his seat.
"Apparently, Haru Seong, number 39... met Suhyeon at the beach recently. I think she's part of the West school."
"Well, well, and I thought this day couldn't get any more exciting than it already was," Daniel said with a smile.
For the last time, he said to himself, "Suhyeon, I have no idea how you did it, but one thing is clear to me... and that is that you are a very big threat." His face changed from a smile to a more serious expression.
Scene change: Beach – Night
"Sister, sometimes I think you're weird," whispered Suhyeon, as she smoked and took the cigarette out of her mouth to exhale.
"This shit is so good, if Chaerin saw me she'd kill me."
Then she inhaled again and took out her phone, which showed several people on the screen, calling all her officers.
"I have to be careful. If it doesn't go as planned, it might be the end of me... Today is the day Daniel is going to hunt me down," Suhyeon whispered as she left her cigarette on the railing and went inside the lodge.
Scene change: Beach – Conversation between Dahyun and Haru
"Come on, tell me, I want to know the truth," Dahyun said seriously.
"Uh... Excuse me? This is very embarrassing," Haru replied.
"Don't drag this out any longer. It's better if you're honest with me. Are you a boy or a girl?" Dahyun said with some intrigue.
"If you want to know so badly, I'll tell you... I am..." he murmured, making sure only Dahyun could hear him. (I think biologically he is a girl, but he chooses to identify as a boy. I want to know what you think.)
Scene change: Lodging — Night
Suhyeon and all his officers are sitting around a table in the living room. The air feels heavy, and all eyes are fixed on one person: Haru Seong.
"Let's leave Haru alone. She doesn't want to talk right now. We can't force her," said Suhyeon, looking at Haru, who had her head down.
"Then what are we going to do? Daniel, the number two in the North... will be coming to us very soon... We have to do something!" added Gukja, somewhat agitated.
"That's true, what are you going to do? He'll be here soon..." said Hajun, taking his eyes off Haru and looking at his leader.
He stood up from his seat and looked at everyone, remaining silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"You guys aren't going to do anything. I know very well that Daniel is on a completely different level, and it's hard for me to say this..." he said, while the others waited silently for him to continue.
"Even I can't beat him... but I have a plan," he added.
"A plan?" asked Hajun with some interest.
He nodded, then looked around carefully, hesitating to say it.
"System, activate Silent Dome," he thought.
[System]
The "Silent Dome" is being activated.
Diamond Card:
[Activation Card]
> (Silent Dome)
You create a dome around yourself, silencing the sound produced inside. *Can be used twice a day.
At that moment, a circular circumference appeared around the room, which only Suhyeon could see.
"I plan to recruit Daniel," he said in a serious tone, causing the others to hesitate, but then they saw Suhyeon's face and realized he wasn't joking.
"What?! What?!" they all exclaimed excitedly, unable to believe what their leader had said.
Haru rose from his seat, his normally expressionless face transformed into a mask of disbelief, frustration, and fear.
"Recruit Daniel? That's crazy!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to contain his emotion. "It won't work, Suhyeon. Daniel is... he's too complicated. I know him better than anyone here, and believe me, he can't be trusted."
He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before continuing, "Besides, even if by some miracle we managed to recruit him, the North's number one would never accept him. Daniel is too independent, too unpredictable. He won't submit to anyone without a fight."
Haru shook her head, her dark hair swaying with the movement, and a single tear rolled down her cheek.
"No, it won't work," she repeated.
Suhyeon approached Haru and placed a hand on his head, gently stroking his hair. His warm, reassuring smile seemed to have a magical effect on Haru, who slowly began to calm down.
"Don't worry, Haru," Suhyeon said softly. "Trust me. If the worst happens, I'd rather it happen to me than to you."
The room fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on Suhyeon. The loyalty and sacrifice he showed in his words were something none of them had seen before. Surprise and admiration were reflected on their faces, and Haru, though still a little shaken, looked at Suhyeon with a mixture of gratitude and respect.
Suhyeon's hand continued to stroke Haru's hair, and his smile seemed to radiate a sense of calm and security. At that moment, everyone felt that they were willing to follow Suhyeon to the ends of the earth, no matter what fate had in store for them.
On the other hand, Suhyeon felt grateful for the family he had formed with them... it was more than just a normal team, and he vowed to himself that he would do everything in his power to protect them.
"No one will mess with my family," he thought, as his smile grew deeper.
He wanted to preserve those happy moments he had shared with them and make sure they were always safe. (:'3)
