Hmm?
A viral post on a certain famous gossip site caught Wonhee's attention.
She was currently killing ti browsing the internet while in the backseat of the car.
Ahyeon, her friend and bodyguard, was driving her to the (frozen) APA Headquarters where Hwang Yejun was waiting for her, apparently.
Soobin and Semi wanted to co with her, but she had other jobs for her older siblings.
[I'm glad I asked Soobin Oppa and Semi Unnie to do the thing that will clear this issue.]
By saying "this issue," Wonhee ant the viral post that she was reading at the mont.
Oh?
Wonhee just found out people thought she escaped from APA.
Hmm.
If Hwang Yejun hadn't assured Wonhee that she had awakened naturally, she would have believed the "conspiracy theory" because it sounded plausible.
Whoever wrote that article must be on to sothing.
Well, they were wrong. But, at least, they wrote an interesting theory.
Wonhee frowned because she could already imagine the backlash and heavy criticisms that her older siblings were going through just to protect her.
Wonhee's eyes widened in shock. "Excuse ?!"
"Noona, people on the internet aren't talking nicely about Yeon Soobin-nim and Jang Semi-nim at the mont," Ahyeon said nervously. "I have a bottle of calming pills here. Would you like so?"
"No, thank you," Wonhee said, her eyes still glued to her phone. "The person who made this viral post made an interesting theory."
It was as if they sprinkled so truth in a big lie.
And so, she continued reading the viral post.
Wonhee didn't like that her older sister was being accused of a terrible cri, but she had to admit that the writer of the viral post sounded convincing to people who didn't know the truth.
Right?
Wonhee was also curious as to how the writer would paint Soobin as a villain in their viral post.
And she wasn't disappointed.
Yes, Wonhee's maternal grandfather was an active Hunter even though he was already in his eighties.
Her grandfather woke up as an A-Class Hunter.
[When people above fifty years old awaken, studies show that it isn't their visuals that get upgraded but their physical health. And so, there are still many elderly who work as active Hunters at the mont.]
Right.
Kwon Jiwoong changed his surna to his mother's last na when his parents divorced. Hence, he was known as 'Kwon Jiwoong' now instead of 'Ma Jiwoong.'
"Ridiculous," Wonhee said in utter disbelief. "Anyone who knows Soobin Oppa knows he was only forced to take the VP position in APA. Oppa isn't interested in politics."
Wonhee knitted her eyebrows after reading the viral post. "It started out interesting, but the ending doesn't make sense."
Ahyeon nodded in agreent. "But many people already believe the post..."
And, upon checking the comnts...
Wonhee stopped reading the comnts because they were starting to make her upset. "My oppa and unnie aren't greedy for money or power."
"The writer of that viral post is probably working for the governnt," Ahyeon wondered out loud. "Yeon Soobin-nim and Jang Semi-nim are adamant about hiding your identity, Wony Noona. That's why APA probably decided to create a story that would ruin their reputations. They know Yeon Soobin-nim and Jang Semi-nim would rather be painted as money and power-hungry villains than reveal the fact that you are their dongsaeng."
Haaah.
[Soobin Oppa and Semi Noona can really be overprotective of .]
But, this ti...
"It's my turn to protect my family," Wonhee said, clasping her hands together. "They probably chose because they think I'm a pushover. But, according to Yool, I was a villainess in the original novel." She leaned against the seat and crossed her arms over her chest. "I'll show them the dignity of a villainess then."

"HWANG FROST, you bastard. I told you not to freeze my head. Ice is bad for the skin! What will you do if I beco ugly?"
Yejun looked at Graham dryly. "You're already ugly."
It was a lie.
But he was annoyed at Graham who could lt his ice in a jiffy.
"The fact that you're talking to like that must an you've already destroyed all the drone caras watching you," Graham said, stretching his arms. "So, are we done fighting for the cara now?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"What an ungrateful jerk," Graham complained, sitting next to him. "I volunteered to arrest you because if other Hunters take the job, then they will try to kill you for real."
"Herbivores can't kill ."
"Is Song Moonho an herbivore to you? He's a snake, and snakes are carnivores."
"..."
"APA is expecting Song Moonho to co out of the dungeon tonight," Graham inford him. "He'll definitely grab the opportunity to kill you for real. Did you forget that it was Moonho Hyung who caught and brought you to APA?"
Yejun clicked his tongue.
Song Moonho was the second oldest mber of the Big 4 and the master of the Autumn Guild.
[My mortal enemy.]
"Yejun-ah, are you listening to ?" Graham complained while addressing Yejun in a friendly manner. "My precious friend asked to keep you safe because he thinks you can save Chu Wonhee."
"Your precious friend?" Yejun asked, turning to Graham with knitted eyebrows. "Is Ahn Kisoo friends with Chu Wonhee?"
"Yah. Is Ahn Kisoo my only precious friend? I'm talking about soone else."
"Wow. I thought your world revolves around Ahn Kisoo."
"Just because he's my Guide doesn't an my world revolves around him."
"That's strange," Yejun said, his eyes glowing as his sharp senses picked up the presence of the person he had been waiting for all this ti. "Every fiber of my being screams that I only need Chu Wonhee."
"She's not even your Guide yet and you're already obsessed with her? Dude, that's so red flag of you."
"What about it?"
"I feel bad for Chu Wonhee."
"Just go and evacuate all the Civilians around the places that I froze, Graham Hyung."
"What?"
"Chu Wonhee is here. Once the Guiding Ti begins, I'll probably fall asleep," Yejun said, smiling. "What do you think will happen if the ice around the things I froze suddenly lted?"
Graham cursed under his breath. "This is the last ti I'm letting you throw a tantrum, you crazy bastard."
