The Saint Wants to Rest - Chapter 24.2
The published photos appear to have been taken during the late night hours in a deserted alleyway. The two were sharing natural physical contact at a close distance, and a witness told this publication, “They looked like a couple. It did not appear to be a simple greeting.”
The reason this controversy is garnering even more attention is due to the identity of the person in the photo. That individual is known to be a family member of another S-rank Awakened, K, and it has been reported that they are currently residing together.
As the controversy spreads, the guild side has not yet released a clear position, and the parties involved are also maintaining their silence.
Among fans, opinions are sharply divided between those defending them, saying, “Heroes are human too,” and those who believe, “This could be a major blow to his public image.”
Attention is focused on how this incident will affect the society of the Awakened in the future.
—No, there are only five Awakened in our country. If it is B and K, doesn’t everyone already know who they are? —So the conclusion is that Vermouth and Choi Jae-heon are dating? —Are you brainless? Look at the photo, the photo! —That relationship is more dangerous than a dungeon. —If they even kissed, aren’t they already in that kind of relationship? —Looking at the photo, I wonder who went first.
The internet article reporting the dating rumors was copied and spread to various communities. Vermouth’s name rose again in social media search terms, and everyone was curious about his partner.
—So it is a family member of Choi Jae-heon for now? —But didn’t Choi Jae-heon lose his younger brother? Did he find him? —What exactly happened for the two of them to be dating?
South Korea was instantly in an uproar. Choi Jae-heon only realized the commotion thanks to Hong Seo-yun’s secretary, who burst in while they collapsed after drinking all night.
“Something terrible has happened!”
“Ugh, what. What is so terrible?”
Hong Seo-yun, who was sprawled on the floor carpet, managed to lift his head and ask.
“Please look at this first.”
The secretary handed a tablet to Hong Seo-yun. Hong Seo-yun looked at the tablet with flickering eyes and then immediately set his own body on fire. Most of his clothes were scorched, but the alcohol evaporated along with it, making his mind much clearer.
“What is this?”
Hong Seo-yun looked at the photo on the tablet with an expression of disbelief. There, his cute baby, Ian , was pressing his lips against Vermouth . Because it was a clever angle, Ian’s face was not revealed, but one could tell just by looking at his body.
Above all, the background is Choi Jae-heon’s house!
Hong Seo-yun urgently smacked the forehead of Choi Jae-heon, who was lying on the sofa.
“Wake up!”
At the urgent voice, Yoon Tae-gyeom , who was stretched out behind the sofa, also snapped his eyes open. I do not know why that guy is acting like that even though he barely drank any alcohol.
“Why?”
Choi Jae-heon opened his eyes while rubbing his forehead.
“Look at this.”
When the tablet was shoved in front of him, Choi Jae-heon calmly examined the contents. Then, his expression began to distort into something terrifying.
Grind.
In his quietly burning rage, his power erupted uncontrollably. Before he could destroy the house, Hong Seo-yun hurriedly patted Choi Jae-heon’s shoulder.
“First, just go home quickly!”
He could not leave Ian alone in this situation. Although they had bought up that entire area so that others could not easily intrude, it did not seem likely that those things called reporters would respect that. Choi Jae-heon quickly stood up and dashed out just like that.
Subsequently, Yoon Tae-gyeom, who had regained his senses, grasped the situation and called the Management Bureau. Hong Seo-yun also began to move, thinking that he could not just stay still.
“No, what kind of son of a bitch would do such a thing!”
Curses burst out of him naturally.
***
Currently, reporters were swarming in front of Choi Jae-heon’s house. There was a time when it was rare for reporters to gather like this due to the perception that one should not intrude on personal privacy. However, as the Gates opened and the times changed, reporters became more aggressive as well.
One has to run here and there to get an article. And in order not to fall behind, one must use any means necessary. For that reason, Ian was unable to leave the house.
“How noisy.”
Of all things, to have a photo taken when he was kissing Vermouth. No, perhaps that guy Vermouth was the one who planned this. Like the story of the Ballad of Seodong in the past. Since Ian was refusing to become Vermouth’s lover, he might have just committed this act.
Ian turned his phone off entirely and tossed it aside.
It wasn’t that there were only people blindly cursing him, but it was difficult to look at. He had simply wanted to return to Earth and rest peacefully.
Grit.
He ground his teeth involuntarily. Vermouth, you son of a bitch!
