Maenne's Endless Controversy... How Will Go Heejae Respond?
“Damn it...”
Go Heejae’s hand trembled as he held his phone. He didn’t browse the internet much usually, but even just checking major portal news and popular communities showed this much.
Na Seonghyeon, you clever bastard...
Maenne and Na Corp scandals broke side by side, yet while Go Heejae got flak, most sympathized with Na Seonghyeon.
Go Heejae recalled Lee Gayeon’s words. Right, as she said, it was the image difference they’d built.
But changing image now would be ridiculous. And above all, Go Heejae had no intention of trying to look good to others.
Everyone except Seoya is beneath me anyway...
He was meek to Seoya, but otherwise unchanged. If his true thoughts leaked, people would curse him as even more of a prick than they imagined.
Go Heejae should be grateful they judged him only by appearances.
Anyway, he decided to address this. Public opinion was set; couldn’t reverse it. So he chose another way.
I need to stop Na Seonghyeon.
The one who stirred this opinion, leaked Maenne’s dirt, profited most: Na Seonghyeon. Stop him, backlash fades.
And the way was simple.
▶0 │ - │ Seoya1 │ S │ Go Heejae: Could you help me just once?
▶1 │ S │ Go Heejae: I need your help.
▶0 │ - │ Seoya: What is it?
▶0 │ - │ Seoya: I’ll help anyway.
▶0 │ - │ Seoya: You helped me when other countries almost doxxed me last time.
Go Heejae worshipped his past self who’d helped Seoya.
▶0 │ - │ Seoya1 │ S │ Go Heejae: Nothing much, can you set up a meeting with Na Seonghyeon?
▶1 │ S │ Go Heejae: And tell him to knock it off.
Seoya agreed readily. Thus, this three-way meetup happened.
“May 27th, Seoya called my name, so this dog rushed over and asked what’s up...”
“What’re you writing?”
Seoya eyed Na Seonghyeon with a disturbed look; he beamed back.
“Scripture.”
“No, not that.”
Lee Gayeon, who’d allowed the spot despite unknown outcomes—top floor of familiar Neverending Guild Building—watched Na Seonghyeon from her desk, shaking her head.
No matter how they protected Seoya, they couldn’t match Na Seonghyeon’s true madness.
