Chapter 70.1- Hello, Hellony.
[2051 Mind Killing live performance by the goddess of pop, Hellony!]
[Onew.com: Hellony’s concert ticket sales in Korea]
[Please look forward to Hellony’s performance in Korea]
All kinds of news related to Hellony was posted all over the Internet in Korea. By that fact alone, Yoo Seodam could see how popular the performance of the Goddess of Pop in Korea would be.
“You’ve succeeded.”
“You must have known her.”
“Oh, well, I did.”
Yoo Seodam looked at Ha Sun-young with a sour look. She was armed with all kinds of Hellony’s merch. Including a light purple glow stick, a Hellony hairband, a Hellony bag and a light purple T-shirt with the words ‘Hello! Hellony!’ printed on it.
In fact, her outfit was nothing special. Most of the people around the concert hall were dressed in a similar manner. On the contrary, Yoo Seodam, who wore a dress shirt and formal pants, was more unusual.
“Why are you following me?”
“I can’t miss out on going to the Hellony concert!”
“You can go with your friend. I’m here for work.”
“I don’t have friends.”
“……”
Seodam looked at her, he was wondering if she made a slip of tongue. But contrary to Yoo Seodam’s worry, Ha Sun-young was still waving her glow stick with a bright look on her face. She looked totally absorbed in the atmosphere.
Looking around, even though there were more than six hours left before the concert began, fans had already gathered and were already doing something with banners in front. Most of them were handing out items related to Hellony. The Hellony products that Ha Sun-young wore all over her body were also bought here on the spot.
“You are not buying it? The glow stick costs only 4,900 won! It’s originally 6,000 won.”
“No thanks.”
“Ey~ No fun. I thought you were Hello Hellony like me.”
“Hello, hellony? What’s that?”
Ha Sun-young looked at Yoo Seodam with a look of horror as if she were looking at a primitive man.
“You don’t know about that too? It’s Hellony’s official fan cafe! The biggest fandom in the world!! There are tens of thousands of subscribers in Korea alone.”
“Wow.”
It was surprising, so Yoo Seodam couldn’t help but exclaim.
Since then, Ha Sun-young had been wandering and buying all Hellony-related products. Both of her hands were filled with shopping bags. She screamed happily, smiled and asked Yoo Seodam, who was walking by her side.
“By the way, if you’re not here to see the show, what brings you here?”
“I have a personal meeting with Hellony and I have something to deal with.”
“Oh, right. Did you say you knew her? I’m so jealous! I’m a huge fan of Hellony. Why didn’t you tell me you knew her?”
“We’re not very good friends.”
Among the living 7 comrades, Taylor Nine was the only one who maintained a good relationship with Yoo Seodam. While his relationship with Ryu Jinsoo was somehow still awkward, now they were tied with a business relationship, so it could be considered a good relationship. And for Wi-hoon, their relationship was always bad.
“Why? Did you confess to her and got rejected?”
“No, I don’t really think much about it, but it seems like she doesn’t like me.”
“Oh.”
Seodam left the disappointed Ha Sun-young behind and walked towards the staff entrance. The security was quite strict, there were quite a lot of guards around the entrance. But when Seodam showed them the photo of the pass Taylor had sent in advance on his smartphone, it was possible for him to pass through.
Inside the concert hall, the staff members were running around. The fact that all of these people were running around for just one performance made Seodam quite awkward.
‘To think that timid girl would become a global star…’
Moments later, when Hellony’s waiting room came to his view, two men, who looked like high-ranking superhumans, blocked Seodam’s way.
Originally, celebrities wouldn’t be escorted this much. But taking into account what happened to hellony, it was only right.
“Please stop. What brings you here?”
“I’ve been contacted by Hellony.”
When you get a question in English, you answer it in English.
The guard nodded when Seodam showed him a request with both Taylor’s and Hellony’s sign on his smartphone.
When he opened the door, Heloni, who was sitting in the corner with a haggard face, Taylor Nine, a stylist and several female guards who looked very unhappy, came into his view.
“Oh, hey! Why are you so late!”
As soon as Taylor saw him, she ran over and hugged him around his neck. When he saw Ha Sun-young in the back, she put more strength in her arms to make Yoo Seodam’s head in line with hers. Her height was around Yoo Seodam’s chest, so he had to bow his head considerably.
“Who’s that behind you?”
“My guild member.”
“A beautiful woman?”
“It’s a contract relationship.”
“Really?”
After a while, Taylor nodded at Ha Sun-young. Regardless of whether Ha Sun-young saw it or not, she had already lost her soul as soon as she saw Hellony. When Hellony saw Yoo Seodam, she stood up and tried to shake his hands, but he refused.
“No thanks. There’s no need for a handshake between us.”
“He, yeah, yeah, yeah.”
“You are still the same.”
“Uh, you too.”
Taylor sighed as the awkward scene unfolded before her eyes. Hellony was still sorry about something, while Yoo Seodam didn’t even care. She wished they could just shake it off.
Seodam looked around and said “Are you doing your makeup? Am I allowed to come in?”
“I still have a little time before the performance,”
“Is that so?”
He walked quickly to take up the chair in front of the table. Ha Sun-young also took the next seat after him while Taylor and Hellony sat across him.
Seodam first took out the contract and held it towards Hellony
Chapter 71.2 – Hello Hellony 2.2
He walked quickly to take up the chair in front of the table. Ha Sun-young also took the next seat after him while Taylor and Hellony sat across him.
Seodam first took out the contract and held it towards Hellony.
“I’ve heard about the stalker request. But since it’s something you can’t find even with your detection ability, I’m going to hand it over to a specialist.”
“Huh? Why bother? They are a bunch of money grubbers.”
Taylor bobbed her head as she spoke.
“Uh so, I created a guild, and we need to increase Guild achievements a little bit.”
“Aha!”
Hellony picked up the pen and read the document carefully after which she said she understood it. In the meantime, Ha Sun-young took a pen and stared at her as if trying to let her know that she wanted to get a signature from Hellony. But somehow Ha Sun-young noticed that Hellony looked tired and her dark circles were very serious. In addition, she looked frightened as she kept looking around while reading the documents.
Yoo Seodam looked at the Hellony before taking out a notepad and asking Taylor.
“So, I’d like to hear the results of your research. Do you have a specific criminal in mind or any specific characteristics?”
“Fuuuhhhh….”
When the expected question came up, Taylor looked very embarrassed as she shook her head.
“Nothing. I have nothing. I don’t know who it is. I can’t even feel their presence. Their handwriting can’t be verified in the first place. I prefer they show themselves in public, so I can smash their head. but I don’t even feel anything.”
“Absolutely nothing?”
“Uh. I’m so angry.”
Taylor tousled her hair roughly in a fit of anger.
“She keeps telling me that she feels the ‘gaze’. And she actually got a threatening message, but I don’t feel anything!”
“Strange….”
Although Taylor was weak in detection, the natural instinct of a S-rank could not be overlooked. But even after all that, she couldn’t detect it while Hellony kept feeling the ‘gaze’.
“First of all, it will be impossible to get it by today and it’ll take some time, is that okay?”
“Oh, yeah. I think it’ll be okay…. Maybe.”
“The contract isn’t really much. I didn’t come here to work for money.”
“Hey, I work for money.”
“That’s you.”
The word ‘between us’ was so awkward that Hellony shook her fingertips. All of them felt it, but did well not to show it.
“There’s a high chance that the enemy has stealth-type ability. Didn’t you say you couldn’t detect it with sound waves, but you can only feel the gaze, and neither Taylor nor anyone else with detection-related ability around you reacted to it”
“That’s right.”
“Doesn’t that mean you can detect it with your ability?”
“Uh….”
Hellony’s soundwaves detection was extremely clear and accurate. It was at the level of being able to clearly see what was invisible and beyond the wall. So until now, she thought it was impossible to detect the ‘black gaze’ because she couldn’t specify its exact location.
However, if you were the only one who could feel the gaze that no one else, including S-rank superhuman could feel….
“Maybe your ability was too good to the point where only you could feel the gaze. This is pretty positive. When you feel the gaze, you can react right….”
But…
Hellony could not hear Yoo Seodam’s words until the end.
‘Again!’
Hellony grabbed the document she was holding.
She began to feel the gaze again.
That gaze skimmed through all over her body. It was a clear, muddy, and blatant gaze. Moreover, it was filled with madness as if saying ‘You’re mine’ or ‘Don’t get out of my sight’.
‘I hate it.’
Her heart beats violently, but the moment she tried to scream…
Swoosh!!
All of a sudden, the ‘gaze’ that was bothering her moments ago had disappeared.
When she came to her senses, a woman named Ha Sun-young, who had come to her side, was holding a glow stick and posing as if she had cut something.
“What the….”
“I cut down the sound.”
“What?”
She frowned at the light purple glow stick she was holding.
“The cutie Hellony glow stick which I bought for 4,900 Won is now dirty….”
She approached the window with a violent step and opened it roughly. She looked around for a moment before suddenly throwing the glow stick.
Fwoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!
“Huh!”
The cheerful noise, which did not seem to have come from the glow stick, flowed through the inside of the waiting room, and soon there was silence. Ha Sun-young kicked her tongue and said.
“He ran away.”
While everyone stared at her in disbelief, Yoo Seodam calmly looked over the window with a telescope. Recently, he thought that his ability to sense Mana had improved a lot while practicing real-life swordsmanship with Ha Sun-young, but at this moment, he could feel it.
‘It’s about three kilometers away.’
He can’t believe that he could detect that far purely with his senses. It was a pleasant surprise.
When he focused on the building in the distance with his telescope, he could see that the glow stick, which flew incredibly far away, was pinned to the wall.
“You threw it quite far.”
“It was too far in the beginning, but that guy made a noise and deflected the orbit before the glow stick could get there.”
“You mean noise?”
“That’s right. He’s someone who used Eumgong.”
At her words, Seodam looked quite serious. He expected that the stalker was somehow related to Lee Dong-joon’s main story, but things became more complicated than he thought.
“Eum…..Gong….?”
“What the hell is that?”
When Hellony and Taylor, who didn’t understand the words, asked her, Yoo Seodam answered instead.
“You can assume that it is a martial art with a power of sound.”
Mugong. The word had one meaning.
“The stalker is someone from Murim. Just like Hellony, he knows how to handle sounds.”
