Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 220
The youngest son of the magic family, Side Story 2,
Cha Seong-min, had a childhood friend.
“Hey, I said I was your oppa.”
“I don’t like it!”
“I’m your older brother!”
“I’m not your brother! “Mom said we were friends!”
“My mom is 30 years old?”
“My mom is 50 years old?”
“My dad is 100 years old!”
Five-year-old Cha Seong-min was very angry that Kang Min-ji did not call him oppa.
To be precise, it was difficult to call him my older brother.
Because Kang Min-ji was born early.
“Hey, you’re so ridiculous!”
“no it’s not! “Hey there!”
As always, the two of them argued quite violently today as well.
In the end, Kang Min-ji said boo! He burst into tears and Cha Seong-min was excited! And he turned his head.
The daycare teacher came running in a huff.
“Why are you doing this?”
Cha Seong-min spoke clearly.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. I told him to call me oppa, but he didn’t. So I told him to call me oppa.”
Kang Min-ji, who burst into tears, cried sadly in the teacher’s arms and said,
“I can’t marry my brother!”
It had to do with her home environment(?).
Her parents were the same age.
So I thought only people of the same age could get married, and I never called Cha Seong-min oppa.
As time passed and Cha Seong-min turned six, Kang Min-ji presented him with a ring-shaped candy.
“You eat.”
“They say this is you again.”
I didn’t like being called ‘you’, but I still liked the candy.
“It’s a wedding ring.”
“I’m not marrying you?”
“If you eat that, you have to get married. “It’s a ring.”
“Yeah, I don’t like it.”
“Then give me the ring!”
“Yeah, I don’t like it.”
“Then get married.”
“Yeah, I don’t like it.”
“Why do you say you don’t like this and that?”
And Kang Min-ji burst into tears again.
When Cha Seong-min was young, Kang Min-ji was quite annoying.
The teachers always took Kang Min-ji’s side and only told Cha Seong-min to apologize.
One day, Cha Seong-min had a big explosion.
“hey! “I said I was your brother!”
“I said I didn’t like it!”
“As long as you have a pretty face, that’s all!”
Cha Seong-min was very angry and huffed.
Kang Min-ji did not lose.
“It’s all about being pretty! And I’m not pretty!”
“Are you pretty?”
“It’s not pretty!”
We fought a lot for some strange reason.
* * *
Third grade of elementary school.
Cha Sung-min announced that he would break off relations with Kang Min-ji.
“hey. “Now let’s go home separately.”
“why?”
“Kids are making fun of me for dating you.”
“It’s right next door, so we can just go together.”
“Anyway, let’s go separately from today.”
‘It was probably around that time.’
Cha Seong-min began to grow distant from Kang Min-ji little by little.
To be precise, it started when Kang Min-ji became a trainee at an agency.
‘But we did meet face to face. We also play together at home.’
I don’t remember exactly, but we were very close until middle school.
Around that time, Cha Seong-min remembered that he had quite enjoyed meeting Kang Min-ji.
‘You smiled very beautifully.’
I realized this around middle school.
Kang Min-ji was Cha Sung-min’s first love.
‘When she debuted in high school….’
Kang Min-ji debuted as a member of the idol group Dive, and immediately began to gain sensational popularity.
‘And it started to really pull away.’
The world in which Kang Min-ji lived was very different.
Minji Kang was not allowed privacy.
She was always glamorous, surrounded by people, and cameras were always following her.
‘We met by chance in the apartment parking lot and started talking…’
It’s been a long time since we last met.
Kang Min-ji at that time was not the idol Kang Min-ji, but just my childhood friend Kang Min-ji.
Kang Min-ji was so happy that she hugged Cha Seong-min and ran around.
‘I was in trouble because my photo was taken by the paparazzi.’
As the photo spread at the time, Dive’s agency had to issue an official statement stating that they were not dating.
Kang Min-ji was imprisoned in her agency’s dormitory, and the agency’s president came to me and gave me money, asking me not to meet Kang Min-ji in private.
At that time, Cha Seong-min realized.
‘It wasn’t just the world I lived in that was different.’
That would have been fine.
It wasn’t just something else, I realized that I was a hindrance to Kang Min-ji.
“I got the money. “I won’t have to see Minji separately from now on.”
That night, Cha Seong-min returned home and cried a little.
I just met and said hello. I just gave him a hug out of joy.
Is that really that wrong?
The internet was full of ridicule and malicious comments directed at him.
-What are you doing with that kind of grind haha?
-He’s really ugly haha. There’s a 20,000 percent chance that he’s a bastard.
For reference, the paparazzi’s photo was one where his face wasn’t visible.
Although you can’t see his face, Cha Seong-min has suddenly become the ugliest man in the world. Or, he became an unscrupulous person who was greedy for things he should not be greedy for.
His identity was stolen and various threatening letters were sent to his home.
– I found out that bastard’s identity haha. XXX is a third year student at XX High School haha.
– Found a middle school graduate. Link shared.
-Wow, I can’t believe it. Our Minji unnie with a face like this? It’s a twist hahaha. Think it’s embarrassing.
It felt like everyone walking around on the street was waiting for an opportunity to bite me.
‘But the malicious comments directed at me were at the level of cuteness.’
Kang Min-ji had to suffer from even more malicious comments.
She was surrounded by all kinds of rumors, such as that she was a queen bee who revealed men, or that she was Chinese, or something else.
Cha Seong-min felt very sorry about that.
And I had no choice but to admit it.
That my existence is nothing but an obstacle to Kang Min-ji.
[Let’s not contact you in the future. You and I live in very different worlds. I will support your life.]
I wrote it like this, but I thought it was too old, so I just shortened it.
[Let’s not contact you in the future.]
After leaving that message, I blocked him.
In that way, he became distant from Kang Min-ji, and as time passed, Cha Sung-min returned to his daily life.
Kang Min-ji achieved great success as an idol and actor, while Cha Sung-min lived an ordinary life.
One day, in an interview, Kang Min-ji said this.
-Well, there is one thing I regret. A time when I was too young and a coward. I became distant from my favorite friend. That’s what I regret the most.
-If possible, I’d like to meet again and talk over coffee or a cup of coffee. Actually, I had a really hard time at that time. I really needed a friend to protect me.
-Is that friend of the opposite sex?
Kang Min-ji said, ‘No! It was the same sex!’ and lied.
I’m afraid that unnecessary sparks will fly to Cha Seong-min, who is living a normal life.
That night, I drank alone in a luxury apartment with a clear night view of the Han River.
“Aren’t you really doing too much to me?”
Even if it wasn’t overt, I did drop quite a few hints.
I still have the same number.
“How have you never contacted me?”
I got lost in thought while drinking.
‘If I had responded back then, maybe we wouldn’t have grown apart like this?’
Kang Min-ji was young at that time.
Cha Seong-min’s KakaoTalk message telling her not to contact Kang Min-ji was too hurtful, and Kang Min-ji did not respond.
I was so angry that I felt betrayed, as if I was the first to abandon myself during the most difficult time.
As time passed, I felt like I could understand why Cha Seong-min made that choice, but now too much time had passed.
* * *
“Do you know my name?”
“….”
Cha Seong-min frowned slightly and continued to look at Kang Min-ji.
‘what?’
Is this a fantasy?
Or was he really possessed too?
“Are you really Kang Minji?”
Or is it the work of some warlock who read my memories?
No, the energy I felt was too clear and clean for something like that.
There was no trace of black magic at all.
“How did you get my name…”
“You were looking for me, asking for a way to return to Korea?”
“…yes.”
Cha Seong-min pressed his temples.
I was lucky that I didn’t get caught by the temple for talking nonsense.
“You…”
Cha Seong-min asked cautiously.
“Do you know me as Cha Seong-min?”
“Are you Cha Seong-min?”
Kang Min-ji stood up suddenly.
Even then, her legs became weak and she almost fell, but Larsen helped her up.
It looked like she was being hugged halfway, and at that moment, Kang Min-ji felt a strangely familiar feeling.
“No way….”
“No way, what?”
“Oh no.”
Why do I feel like Cha Seong-min?
Or rather, how do you know Cha Seong-min?
“Do you know Cha Seong-min?”
“Of course I know everything.”
“Why is that natural?”
“That’s it…”
Kang Min-ji bit her lip tightly.
“He’s a very bad bastard who dumped me without even confessing.”
* * *
Only then did Cha Seong-min feel a little strange.
“You…”
As I became possessed by this world, much of my concept of age disappeared.
Most people with strong magical power age very slowly, and most of the people around Lassen had strong magical power.
Therefore, it was almost impossible to determine age by appearance.
“How old are you?”
“Me? “I’m nineteen.”
“….”
“What does it mean that you dumped me without even confessing?”
After hearing the story, it became clear.
There was no doubt that Kang Min-ji had been possessed when she was 19 years old.
Kang Min-ji took something out of her arms.
‘cell phone?’
I managed to get all the way here without being robbed.
“Give it to me.”
“Oh no.”
“What can’t be done? “Give it to me.”
“….”
Kang Min-ji strangely felt Cha Seong-min in Larsen.
The tone of voice or facial expression. Even his actions felt strangely like Cha Seong-min.
“Well, I don’t have any batteries anyway… huh?”
Strangely enough, the cell phone turned on.
Larsen’s fingertips contained a feeble amount of brain power.
Larsen unlocked the phone using facial recognition and opened KakaoTalk.
Let’s not contact you again,
you bastard .
And there was an unsent message written there.
[Aren’t you really doing this too much? Are you the only one having a hard time? It’s hard for me too. All you have to do is give me a word of comfort. Do I really have to leave a KakaoTalk message like this? We’ve been together for over 10 years, so how can you say something like this?]
‘It’s Kang Min-ji.’
It was very Minji Kang to write that message and not send it.
“What are you doing! “On someone else’s cell phone!”
“You wrote about 30 similar versions of this in your notepad, right?”
“What?”
Kang Min-ji’s face turned red.
“That’s right.”
Larsen slumped down, leaning his back against the wall.
“That’s Minji Kang.”
“What is that….”
“If I have something to say, I write about 30 similar words on a notepad, and after thinking about it for about 300 minutes, I finally send one.”
“….”
“Don’t you know me?”
Kang Min-ji hesitated for a while and then opened her eyes wide.
“Stand, no way…!”
“Do you feel it now?”
“That’s ridiculous. how…!”
Kang Min-ji couldn’t believe it.
So Larsen added one more word.
“When on earth are you going to call me oppa?”
I really didn’t want to hear my brother call me that, but there was nothing I could say that could prove Cha Seong-min as a child like this.
“Nonsense.”
Kang Min-ji was drooping and blinking, but was soon hugged by Larsen.
“Are you really Cha Seong-min?”
“….”
Larsen silently patted Kang Min-ji’s back.
It seemed like he had gone through a lot of trouble to get here.
“Is this really Cha Seong-min?”
“okay.”
Kang Min-ji’s body began to shake.
‘Was his body this small?’
When I was in high school, the day I was photographed by the paparazzi.
Kang Min-ji never felt this small.
Kang Min-ji had already risen to the ranks of top stars and seemed to actually feel huge.
But Kang Min-ji, whom Larsen was holding now, was too small.
‘It was this small.’
Kang Min-ji cried for a long time and Larsen waited quietly.
“You bastard!”
“….”
In the past, I reacted to every word, but now it has changed.
Larsen has a lot of leeway.
I just patted Kang Minji on the back.
A long time passed and a voice came from behind.
“They say I’m going to be a little annoyed.”
I glanced behind me and saw Rosalyn standing with her arms crossed, leaning against her.
“What is he again?A competitor again?”
A powerful fighting force trembled in her body.
