* I’m too busy.

* Busy.

Reading the terse replies from Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon, Baek Seo-jin let out a dry chuckle.

Currently, he had returned to Gaeseong through a portal from Sariwon City. He hadn’t gone back to Seoul yet because he had planned to meet with Se-hee and Ha-yeon here.

Se-hee, after leaving the Kangin Orphanage, had saved up her earnings as a healer to buy a small house in Gaeseong. Similarly, Ha-yeon, despite her penthouse in Seoul, also maintained a private villa in the area.

‘Even right after the entrance exam, they’re way too careless. Well, I suppose I’m the only one who knows there’s danger lurking.’

Simply sending a message about Kim Ho-jun’s schemes wouldn’t be enough to convince them. He had to tell them in person. From their perspective, Kim Ho-jun was likely nothing more than a benefactor—a hero who had captured Se-hee’s parents’ killer and saved them both from villains. Without Seo-jin directly explaining the truth, they wouldn’t understand.@@novelbin@@

That was why he had asked to meet them. But even after emphasizing that it was important, they had brushed him off, claiming to be busy.

‘Maybe they’re too tense from the exam, or perhaps they’re just catching up on things they put off while preparing.’

"Dammit."

Turning off his phone, Seo-jin rubbed his temples in frustration.

‘I need to deal with that bastard Kim Ho-jun quickly.’

If not for Kim Ho-jun, he wouldn’t even need to have these worries. Lost in thought about how to stop Ho-jun from getting closer to his precious friends, Seo-jin realized he had wandered deep into the mountains of Gaeseong.
