Chapter Text
"Wait– what the hell is this mean?!"
I'm so shocked that I almost punch the mirror.
Did you wanna know why? Well, let's just say that my prayers has been come true, I've got Isekai-ed to the manhwa I've been read before I sleep like those protagonist in the novel or manhwa.
But, the thing is.. I guess, I should have put some more details into my prayers. Because now I'm possessing Choi Min Seok's body, He's a dumbass side character villainess who keep getting his life fucked up and got thrown off to the lowest hierarchy of the choi siblings in a novel 'Trapped in a webnovel as a good for nothing', after the protagonist transferred to this world and got awakened.
The Choi siblings is... I should say, that they're kinda scary tho. Like, plotting murder towards each other, etc etc.. Typical of the chaebol family that comes for their own greed.
That's why.. as the original protagonist of this novel, Choi yoo seung said. "At least I should survive in this family"
That's right, that's what mostly the protagonist in an Isekai-ed novel would say. Wait, does that mean.. Now I'm also a protagonist?!
WooHoo!!
I keep thinking about that and keep screaming inside of my head out of excitement. But then, my mood gone sour when I get back to the reality and looked at my face on the mirror.
Frowning, "This won't do."
I was expecting if someday I got Isekai-ed, I would be a beauty like Choi yoo seung did or any other Isekai-ed protagonist.
But this.. I know for sure that Choi Min Seok's age is not far from Choi yoo seung, since he's the 8th son, and Choi yoo seung is the 9th son of the family.
That's why. "Why did his style's always like this? He keep looked like an Ahjussi in the entire manhwa with this hair style and his chubby body like this, does he not going workout? especially when his family already this rich?!"
I keep grumpling as I staring at the mirror. And to be honest, actually... I was a girl.
Yea, that's why I keep dissatisfied about his looks. I mean, us female reader are usually expecting a beauty in a manhwa we read(not really). Well, yeah.. There's a lot here in this world actually. But, to be Isekai-ed into his body as I was a girl, I'm quiet disappointed. So I guess I would do something about his appearance later.
After a while, I go out of the bathroom and sit on the bed. It's time to decide on what is what.
Let's see.. After Choi yoo seung got awakened, he's became the lowest rank in the hierarchy of the Choi family. Then, he keep getting his ass kicked because he keep getting himself into a problem by trying to kill the protagonist quiet many times already(seriously, you can't fight the plot armor, so just drop the idea cause it's impossible to fight it.).
So, after that I guess his life is kind of like a living hell. Because he keeps getting pushed around by the other siblings to do things they don't want to be a part of.
"Damn.. I don't want to be a pushover like him." Then I try to calm myself. "Right, now it's time to think on what should I REALLY do!"
I prepare a paper and pen, and go to the office table. "First, let's remember the most important thing to do." I take out the pen and start writing. "Don't. Ever. Try. To. Hurt. Him." I wrote Choi yoo seung's name and then crossed his name.
"Damn, right. He's got the plot armor, this guy no matter what I do would survived in this world. So, getting rid of him is not possible!" Then, I remember something. "Ah! Right, that guy too. He's somehow also an mc, so he should also have some plot armor too. Even if I think Choi yoo seung's plot armor is stronger than him. But still, just to be cautious."
I then wrote Kim Dojin's name and also crossed his name like Choi yoo seung's. "Then, should I avoid them?" I put my fingers on my chin. "Nahh, from the stories I know those people who intently avoided the main character would always ended getting caught up with them so it's not necessarily."
"Hmm.. Then should I approach him first and got on his good side?" I tap my fingers on the armset of the chair. "Meh, I guess he would just be suspicious of me since he already know what kind of man the real Choi Min Seok is."
I scratch my head in frustration. "Arghh.. I don't even know when is it now! Which chapter already is this anyway?!" I pinched the brink of my nose. "Then, I think should find it out myself.. "
I raised my head to the front door of this room. "I should see Choi yoo seung."
"Right after, I take a bath and go eat my breakfast, of course." I nodded to myself.
***
Knock knock..
Hm.. That must be my breakfast. "Come in"
Then, I saw the maid entering the room with park jin-hyo, Choi Min Seok's personal bodyguard. Seeing him, I guess it's better to ask him about Choi Yoo Seung first before go to meet him.
When he was about to get out of the room, I called him. "Ah, park jin-hyo. Come here for a second."
Then he as expected obediently walked towards me with him lowering his head, this guy seems to be afraid of Choi Min Seok so much. Well, it's not like I'm not expecting this. With Choi Min Seok's personality who likes to be above of other people, this guy just unlucky enough to be his underlings.
"Tell me, how's Choi yoo seung doing?" I should put an indifferent and quite arrogant personality of Choi Min Seok's so that people wouldn't be suspicious of me, I will show my personality changes gradually rather than just suddenly changed like the other protagonist so it would come out as natural.
"Young master Choi yoo seung is still causing havoc and spend his money to go to a bar as usual." Answer park jin-hyo while bowing his head like a proper Butler.
As usual huh? Does that mean, 'that' Choi yoo seung still hadn't come to this world? But then, shouldn't I be figured it out first if this world would works as the same as the novel I read before, or the original plot of the novel Choi yoo seung read (I don't remember the name so, whatever.) would happen.
If it was the latter, then the original Choi yoo seung would be killed by Kim Dojin.
"...."
I guess, I'm not gonna let that happen. Even if it's the original Choi yoo seung, and not 'Choi yoo seung' from the other world. He's still my favorite character after all, with his looks and all even if his personality is a trash wouldn't it be good if he's being my cute dongsaeng instead?
Ahh.. Thinking about it already makes me happy, I believe I was even unconsciously smiled because I can see park jin-hyo shuddering.
I sighed, right. Seeing this guy smiling after hearing about his dongsaeng still causing ruckus out there would make people think I'm a bad hyung who likes to see his dongsaeng miserable.
Yes, and it was all thanks to the cliche misunderstanding usually happened in an Isekai-ed novel. But that's alright, as a real reader I'm already aware of it not like any other main characters in an isekai-ed novel.
So, I put that aside and tell park Jin hyo. "I don't have any schedule for today right? So, we will go to Choi Yoo Seung's house."
Park Jin hyo bowed his head. "Alright, then I will prepare the vehicle."
After park Jin hyo get out of the room. I do also prepare myself, then I go down to the first floor where park Jin hyo already waiting for me.
I got in the car. While inside of it, I keep thinking about an excuse of what should I do when I met him.
I guess it's better if I could keep a good relationship with him. Either he was the 'Choi Yoo Seung' from the other world, or the original Choi Yoo seung of this world I want to get into a good relationship with him.
Come to think of it, both situations would bring a good advantage to me. Why? Because..
1. If He's already get close to the original Choi Yoo Seung before the other 'Choi Yoo Seung' gets here. Even that 'Choi Yoo Seung' can't do anything if he already got closer with the original Choi Yoo Seung. So, he won't get into his enemy list later.
2. If this is the original novel that 'Choi Yoo Seung' read before. That means Choi Yoo Seung would get killed by Kim Dojin, and that mean I should PROTECC him. Then, if I successfully gained his trust he would think of me as his reliable hyung.
AND I WOULD GET A CUTE DONGSAENG!!
"He, hehe.. Hehehe.. " Think about it really makes me excited!
****
Park Jin hyo, who's been driving the car looked at the mirror and saw that his master's been smiling like a madman.
He's shuddered thinking that whatever would be happened to young master Choi Yoo Seung, He hope he would survive this bully of his master.
****
Ah! Right, I should check my attributes window right? I was recalled that Choi Min Seok was an E rank with an ability to hypnotize.
Hm... What should I do to open the attributes window? Let's just try with thinking it would popped up in front of my eyes.
"...."
Nothing happened? Then, how about saying attributes window inside my head.
'Attributes window'
"...."
... Still nothing, jezz, how about both then.
'Ding!'
"Oh?"
[Name: Choi Min Seok
Age: 24
Type: All-rounder
Rank: E
Level: 50
Special skill: Hypnotize, Empath.
Normal skill: above all, sprinter.]
Hm... As expected, I do also have 2 special skills like Choi yoo seung. Maybe his theory was right it's because this body is Choi min seok's but the soul is mine so it would have at least two special skills and two normal skills.
"Let's check them out"
I will start from the special skills first, I clicked them one by one.
[ Hypnotize - E rank
An ability to make the target of this skill to see and feel an illusion made by the user, the user can decide on what the illusion is by thinking about the situation.
This skill only can be used when the target's rank is lower than the user.]
[ Empath - E rank
An ability to see through people's mind, this ability can be used for reading someone's mind, see through their memories of the past, and made the user can talk into the target's mind.
Side effects: this ability would transfer the target's emotion to the user as long as the skill is activated.]
Whoops, guess I got lucky? I can tell that these skills are very useful if I can used it to its finest. There's a weakness and side effects for these skills but I guess it doesn't really matter.
Besides, the empath ability seems like there's no rank limitations and on the contrary this skill only giving me this side effects. So this one is kinda good.
Then, we should check the normal skill this time.
[ Above all - E rank
If you can dominate a lot of people as your underlings, the underlings will unconsciously give you 20% of their Exp during their raid, and when they're level up.]
[ Sprinter - E rank
A common skill that can increased you agility up to 50%.]
Huh, I guess I know why this brat can keep leveled up to this level 50 E-rank, even if he didn't do anything for his life. However, how much is his underlings now?
And for the sprinter skill, I guess it's because I was a runner in my past life so it makes sense.
These skills are quite useful as well, especially the 'Above all' skill since I know this guy's must already have quite a few useful underlings under his wings. So, I don't need to be worried about my level growth. And for the sprinter skill, I can just run away if somehow I got into problem with a wrong people like the other choi siblings.
"Sir, we've been arrived." Said park Jin hyo after he parked the car.
After that, He get out of the car to open the door for me.
As I stepped out of the car, I take a look at Choi Yoo Seung's condominium. Actually, as I'm now the 8th son of the Choi family I do also have one too. To be honest, I think that every siblings at least should have one too.
Yea, that's the power of the Hyeseong group for you. Now, I should go to meet him.
****
Knock knock
As I knocked on the door, park Jin hyo looking at me as if I was just doing something weird.
It's a little bit annoying actually, so I glared at him like the usual disrespectful Choi min Seok. "What?"
Park Jin hyo finched then averted his gaze. "N- no sir, I'm sorry.. "
As I sighed looking at his reaction, the door opened. And luckily, it's Choi Yoo seung who opened the door.
But, as soon as he looked at me he finched as of he didn't expect me to come here. Then, He averted his gaze from me.
"H- hyung, what do you want to do now?"
Ck, this kid must be frequently being bullied by Choi Min Seok to be reacting like this.
Then, because I don't know what should I do with him. I will act just like the original choi min seok usually do, acting arrogant bully and all mighty.
"Ck, don't say it like that if people hear you they might think that I've been doing bad things to you." Well, it's not wrong tho.
"...."
Seeing he's been silent like this I guessed he's also agreed with what I thought. Ckck, poor Yoo seungie..
"Hey, now. Be prepared, I will take you on breakfast to nearby restaurant."
"But, hyung.. I've already eating breakfast." Said Yoo seung lowering his gaze.
Yea, that's right. Actually... I was already eating my breakfast too, and I'm already full of it. But, what I need is that I need to talk to you so, whatever.
"Huh? What now? Are you saying that you don't want to eat breakfast with your hyung now?" This time, I put a little bit of pressure on him so he won't reject me again.
"U- uh.. That's not what I mean, I'm sorry. I will go with you then, please wait for me inside." Choi Yoo seung said while opening the door so we could go inside.
After I sit on the couch, I looked around the room. This room dominated by cream and brown is exactly the same as in the manhwa.
Even after looking at it closely now, I still can't believe that finally I got Isekai-ed to a manhwa. This is really awesome actually.
"Hyung, I'm ready."
I looked at Choi Yoo Seung's fashion style. I don't know if it was because this Choi Yoo Seung is different from the Choi Yoo Seung in the manhwa. But I should say, his style is kinda sucks.
He wore a flashy leopard cardigan, red pants, black t-shirt, and a gold necklace. Let's not forget the black sunglasses at the top of his head.
"Uhm.. Hyung...?"
I was dumbfounded, really, for a second. But then, I'm trying to compose myself and cleared my throat. "Ahem, let's go then."
"Ah, wait. Can we wait for Jin do hyun so I can bring my own car?" Asked Choi Yoo seung.
I stared at him for a bit, thinking that it would be good if he can bring witness too. "Do whatever you want."
Then I walked out of the room.
****
As I was waiting in the car, suddenly Choi Yoo seung knocked at my car window so I opened it up for him.
"Hyung, where would we going?"
Right, I still don't know anything about this world so I'm not familiar with this place. So...
".... Just, follow our car from behind" Then, before he can ask anymore I turned up my window car.
"Jin hyo, go to whatever restaurant nearby with not many people in it" I ordered him.
"Yes, sir."
****
After we arrived at the location, I stepped out of the car as well as Yoo seung.
The location is actually on the uphill, so I can see a good morning view from here. But, for some reason Choi Yoo seung seems like a little bit uncomfortable.
Was that because of me? Uhhh.. I'm sorry Yoo seungie, in a mean time I believe we would become closer like a real siblings do so don't worry to much.
Then I walked to the restaurant. No, should I say... Is it actually a bar? There's a bartender there.
As I looked around, my eyes caught up to something–no, someone on the balcony.
Those features... Feels awfully familiar somehow. As I keep staring at her, she then stared back at me. I'm finched because I think I've finally know who she is.
She stared at me then at Choi Yoo seung in amusement as she walked up closer to us.
"Well, well.. If it isn't my 8th and 9th troublemaker dongsaeng?" She smirked.
"A- ah.. Good morning, min ah noonim... " I put on my hardest to smile sincerely.
Damn, I should have check this place first before entering. This is Choi minah's bar, the 2nd daughter of the Choi siblings.
Now I feel like being the real Choi min Seok and scold park Jin hyo for this.
