Chapter 59: Minsoo... Even you...!

    Minsoo... Even you...!

    "Minsoo!!!!!!!" A chunky guy with glasses angrily slammed the desk.

    The current rave on social media is all about Kim Minsoo''s cries. There''s a guy standing in the middle of the street, tightly gripping a purple bag and shedding tears. His face being twisted with tears and mucus, but it''s undoubtedly Kim Minsoo.

    Melanie managed to play referee with the reporters, but she couldn''t stop the nosy public''s prying eyes. Captured from every conceivable angle, Minsoo''s sobfest is blowing up the internet under the title "Minsoo''s Wail."

    "Baek Taeyang, you bastard..."

    Initially clueless about the cause, he put two and two together when most of the title vanished. In the video, Minsoo was spewing out gibberish that only this bespectacled guy could comprehend.

    "He... snatched Yoomin..."N/ne?w n0vel chap/ers are published o/n  Minsoo was frantically calling for Yoomin. When he wailed for her and the book title started disappearing, there was only one explanation. The most villainous character that should poof from this novel and, in a sense, the ultimate villain.

    Baek Taeyang.

    All of this was that guy''s doing.

    "I even coached him in love, what was lacking...?"

    It''s mind-boggling. From top-notch fashion to the most sought-after purple clutch bag, all the gifts for Kim Minsoo were high-end like Baek Taeyang''s.

    Fashion-wise, Baek Taeyang is nowhere near a suitable match.

    Wearing commonplace clothes you''d find on any street and still facing discrimination for being deemed luxurious? Why can''t people see the true value of Kim Minsoo?

    "Ignorant fools... If only I could control them...! All of you should have sung praises for Kim Minsoo!" The man scratched between his folded chin while standing up.

    Losing Yoomin is a big loss, but it''s already a thing of the past.

    "Is having a beefed-up body like Baek Taeyang cool...? There doesn''t seem to be much difference in personality!"

    The settings about Minsoo can be altered as much as needed. It requires a bit of effort, strength, and time, but for the sake of change, sacrifices can be made.

    ‘The flow of the entire story is gradually drifting towards Baek Taeyang, and that has to be stopped at all costs!''

    "I''ll go find Minsoo..."

    Everything is for Minsoo''s pink harem. In fact, there are about a hundred hidden dating master''s visions and secrets that I haven''t revealed to Minsoo.

    I hesitated because learning too much at once could lead to a slippery slope.

    "I admit it, Baek Taeyang. You''re at an equal or slightly lower level than me." The man elegantly raised the glasses that were hanging on the bridge once.

    It''s not fair for the protagonist to be overshadowed by a horny, tanned guy. It''s not polite to the readers who have silently endured and followed the novel so far either.

    "Now, you''ll be facing me. I''ll make you regret it." The man stood up from his seat.

    It''s time to spread my wings of the phoenix. Since meeting Baek Taeyang, I haven''t been outside. It''s a chance to breathe in the fresh air after a long while.

    "Minsoo is probably at the dorm."

    Even without looking, it''s obvious. Where else would that delicate and innocent man go? He would undoubtedly be lying down like a butterfly with torn wings, nursing wounds and shattered dreams.

    Ding!

    Just as the man was about to step outside, a questionnaire popped up. Only one person had set up question alerts – Kim Minsoo.

    "You haven''t given up, Minsoo...!"

    ———————————

    They will never betray and probably love only one man until the end, which is the characterization of a virgin bitch.

    Kim Minsoo, with his slow progress and the aspect of a sympathetic nerd, has a high chance of stuttering. Oddly enough, that might work in his favor; slow progress means less intense emotions.

    From a romantic comedy perspective, his personality is perfect for extending the narrative.

    "I can''t delay progress, though..."

    Having such a body while suppressing my libido is also challenging. Watching women automatically disarm themselves with a slight touch, blushing and fleeing – is it something I can endure?

    "What heroines'' attributes haven''t come out yet?"

    This is both a novel and a device to fulfill that fatass author''s secret desires. So far, a childhood friend, a conglomerate daughter, and a neighborhood sister have appeared.

    "Succubus has appeared too... Then, a saintess...?"

    This is a possibility. Since a heroine with enormous chest hasn''t appeared in Kim Minsoo''s harem yet, the sacred power of the saintess''s pocket has to be devastating. I''d say it''s a very credible hypothesis.

    "Then, a saintess... and maybe an idol...? It''s ambiguous... Someone who frequently appears in media like an actress, perhaps."

    I consider a saintess is confirmed, but the last one remains a problem.

    Thinking about a celebrity emerging is unlikely since Yoomin and Melanie are already too famous. With two rich daddies'' daughters already present, a superstar popping up here won''t make any sense.

    "Hero and Saintess... Succubus... Childhood friend... Neighborhood sister..."

    The final puzzle pieces don''t fit.

    I diverted my gaze from the notebook where I was organizing the current situation.

    The problem at hand isn''t going to be solved by racking my brain at the desk.

    [Yoo Soojin]

    [Taeyang, don''t feel pressured to come tomorrow!]

    [In case you really feel pressured... you don''t have to come...]

    (Embarrassed puppy hiding in its tail emoticon)

    At the moment, thinking about the dinner invitation scheduled for tomorrow is more appropriate.

    "As for clothes, if I go for a casual suit vibe, it might look too heavy... Maybe I should lean towards a dandy style."

    Given that my face doesn''t act as an automatic ticket, ensuring my clothes are impeccable is the least I can do. Ironically, the face that appeals to most women isn''t precisely the one their parents favor. On the flip side, Kim Minsoo appears somewhat closer to possessing a free pass face. You could even label it as innocent.

    "You charm girls to meet the parents, not the other way around..."

    Just as I was leisurely lying on the bed, trying to cool my head, a call came in. It was from a number I hadn''t seen before, so I initially thought of ignoring it, but suddenly, I got a gut feeling.

    "Hello?"

    If my guess was correct, there was only one person who might call me right now.

    [It''s me. Hunter Baek Taeyang, how have you been?]

    A deep male voice. I naturally thought it would be Melanie.

    "Hunter Yoo Minhyuk. Thanks to you, I''ve been doing well."

    It was Yoo Minhyuk, Soojin''s father and one of the top hunters.
