Lee Soyeon: “No way I’m going down as a traitor alone lol”

You’re comparing a C-Rank potion one-trick to Korea’s top weapons maker??
Get real, man~~~
Jjapso stans, know when to shut up

Potion = Any crafter can make something similar.
Weapon = Can’t be replaced. Got it?
Where’d this no-name potion maker crawl out of?
Lmao since when did we even rate potion crafters? Weapon crafting’s where the romance is.

Jjapso fixed the potion crisis and now these ungrateful fucks turn on him, wow
Let’s be real, they’re pissed Hyeonak is monopolizing potions.

Cool it with the Japan-worship
The chick who used to make all those “K-made traditional weapons” just defected to China lol… from here on, it’s all downhill. Brace for impact.
Soyeon come back ffs

Honestly yeah, Korea’s carried by the combat types anyway
That’s the legacy of a warrior nation…
Weapons? Gear? Who cares—just hit harder, bro
Dumb but strong: the Korean way

Be grateful Jin Siwon defected to us
Respect x500
But fr why did Jin Siwon come to Korea anyway…?
Didn’t he get special investigation privileges? Guess our authorities look like chumps?

? If Jin Siwon wanted it, even the U.S. would hand over jurisdiction
You dumbasses—it was 'cause of Guru (→ ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) photo of Jin Siwon patting Guru’s head at the school festival)
How deep does Guru’s infiltration run lmaoooooo

The 5-year-old “Mega-Sized F-Rank” who never gets cropped from S-Rank memes
Like do you have to become an S-Rank to even meet Guru?? Her scale is insane
So if I become S-Rank, I can pat Guru too?

Nope. Not you.

No contest
S-Rank with Guru headpat vs. rotting in a ditch? Easy win

Is there no option where I don’t get to pat her?
If you don’t get to pat Guru, you don’t deserve to be an S-Rank in Korea
[Headline: You Idiots Are Having Fun While Our Tech Gets Stolen]

Are we supposed to just sit and watch them steal our tech while wide awake?
Yeah, Lee Soyeon’s pissed, but this time Hyeonak should’ve compromised
National strategic tech should be managed at the national level, goddammit

Close your eyes. It’s dark, right?
That’s our future, you dumbasses.

It was midday, the sun high in the sky.
In front of Yustitia’s forsythia garden, the preschoolers of the Chick Class stood gathered in a cluster.
Wearing overalls, boots, and a straw hat pulled low, Guru held Woojoo’s hand tightly as they listened to the teacher.

“Today we’re planting seedlings in the garden! Everyone brought your supplies, right?”
“Yeeeh-!”
“Good job! Now, the soil in front of you is very special—it has an amazing ability to help plants grow faster. Do you remember what else it can do?”

Gu Hwiyeon shot her hand up and answered.
“They grow no matter the season!”
“That’s right! With your partner, plant your name sign and dig the soil to plant your seedling!”

“Yeeeh!”
Guru gave Woojoo’s hand a tug.
“Wet’s go dere!”

No way she was letting anyone steal her spot!
She bolted forward and staked her name sign into the very front-left plot with a THUNK. It was the biggest patch.
[Guru & Woojoo]

Mephisto fluttered down and perched on top of the sign.
Guru placed her hands on her hips and proudly declared,
“Now dis is our wand.”

Woojoo, seeing how big their garden space was, nodded with a slightly flushed face.
“Yeah!”
“It’s weawwy, weawwy big. When Gwuu was at Saebom Pweschoow, my wand was onwy one tomato vine. What about yoows?”

“Our preschool was the same. Everywhere else’s probably the same too.”
“Reawwy?!”
Guru giggled and began rummaging through her shopping bag.

“Aunty packed a wot of potatoes. But Oppaw doesn’t wike potatoes much.”
“You’re still gonna plant them?”
“Yuh. Potatoes awe kyoot, no?”

…They really weren’t.
Woojoo thought so, but still replied,
“Maybe… a little?”

“Oppaw doesn’t wike when hands get muddy.”
“Really? My dad…”
Woojoo was about to answer cheerfully, but then clamped his mouth shut.

“Un?”
“No, it’s nothing… Oh, look! A worm.”
“Ohhh.”

A worm poked its head out of the dirt, wiggling its way up.
Guru crouched down with Woojoo to observe it.
Just then, Woojoo noticed someone glancing at them over and over.

As a popular child actor, he was used to attention—but this gaze was different. He turned his eyes slightly and saw Hwiyeon holding a ginseng plant and sneaking glances at Guru.
“Hmm?”
“What’s wong?”

When Woojoo snorted, Guru tilted her head and followed his gaze.
“Hmmm?”
“……!”

The moment Hwiyeon locked eyes with Guru, she flinched and frantically started digging at the soil with her hand hoe.
Guru squinted at her, then looked back down at the worm.
Does she wanna see da woooorm?

Maybe she was just too shy?
Guru remembered how Hwiyeon had blushed like a tomato and run off on the first day when Guru had greeted her with a loud hello.
Guru carefully picked up the worm and placed it on her palm.

She touched it?!
Woojoo’s face turned pale, his mouth gaping.
“Hwiyeonahhh!”

Guru suddenly leapt up and ran over to Hwiyeon.
“U-Uh?”
Hwiyeon looked around in a panic.

“Wook at dis!”
Guru thrust her hand out, and the pink worm squirmed in her palm.
“KYAAAAAA!”

Hwiyeon turned ghost-pale and screamed.
Still grinning, Guru brought the worm closer to her face.
“W-What are you doiiiiiing!”

“Woom!”
Hwiyeon shrieked again and took off running.
“WHAT THE HECKKKKK!”

“WOOOOOM!”
Guru chased after her with the worm still in hand.
“Teacheeeeeeer!”

“Teacher! Guru’s bullying Hwiyeon!”
The sound of Hwiyeon and her partner yelling filled the garden.
