He was Abel Blake, the main character of the original The Successor of Arteon

I forgot that Abel’s last name was Blake, so I didn’t connect Senior Blake with that Abel Blake. But when I thought about it again, it was clear.

Due to the fake pregnancy incident, Chase becomes engaged to Leoruka and begins working as an intern at a Kaisa Group affiliate before graduating from college. It would probably be a department store.

Chase, who was working in the public relations team, meets Main-su while working. This is because Abel was hired as a model for a commercial for the Kaisa department store. While filming the commercial, Chase takes care of Abel-related work and becomes close to him.

However, the fact that Abel and Chase were from the same school and club was not mentioned in the original work and the first place they met was on the set of a commercial for the Kaisa department store.

So I never thought Chase and would run into Abel at this event. I also couldn’t figure out why Main Soo had already shown up. What the hell had changed?

“No, well, that’s…”

While I was alone in shock and just licking my lips. Abel was staring at me and Chase. His neat eyes looked gentle, but they also felt cold.

Besides, the gaze directed at me didn’t seem kind. Why are you looking at me like that? Did you already realize that I was a villainous sub-su? But I haven’t done anything yet!

Although the role of a villainous sub-su is to be a scapegoat who receives hate without giving anything in return, it was too much for the villainous sub-su to be targeted by the main sub-su before they even exchanged greetings. Could it be that he really targeted me? It shouldn’t have been so……

“Huh? Senior Blake, you’re still here?”

“Brother, you said you had to go back early. I thought you were already gone.”

At that moment, several familiar voices were heard, and the surroundings became noisy. Several familiar faces suddenly appeared. Remy and Taylor in particular seemed happy to see Abel, and soon they surrounded Abel and kept talking. Abel’s gaze, which had felt persistent, finally averted.

Abel looked back at them and smiled.

“I came to a quiet place because I had something to talk about. I was just about to leave, but I think I ran into some juniors from the operations team.”

“Huh? Who… What? Senior Chase! When did you arrive? If you’ve arrived, come to the banquet hall!”

“What? Chase? You should get to work as soon as you get here. Why are you hiding here? I’m already so busy.”

Remy and Taylor took turns muttering. As usual, Senior President Hester intervened to stop them. “Chase must have just arrived. Chase, this is Blake, who is three grades above you. He’s been on leave for a long time, but we haven’t seen each other since our leave periods don’t coincide. I thought we wouldn’t be able to say hello today, but it turned out to be a good thing.”

“That’s right! Senior Chase, you can’t meet Senior Blake if not at a time like this! He’s been really busy with his acting these days, and it’s been a really long time since we last saw him.”

“I am an unknown actor, but just busy. I guess you’re a junior. Nice to meet you. I’m Abel Blake.”

“…hello.”

Chase, who had been suffering from morning sickness and had a pale complexion until a moment ago, reluctantly bowed his head to Abel. It was the first historical meeting between the main character top and the main character bottom, but Chase’s expression was a little shaky. On the contrary, Hester Senior seemed happier.

“By the way, Chase, who’s that guy next to you… Uh. Leoruka?”

“What? Leoruka is here?”

“What the heck, it’s really Leoruka. What’s going on here? You didn’t even show your nose.”

Everyone’s eyes were on me, who was secretly hiding in in a corner of the balcony where there was no light. Suddenly receiving attention made me tense up my hand. That is the hand that was holding Chase’s hand tightly to relieve his morning sickness.

“But why are you two holding hands…?”

And Taylor, who had good eyesight but no use, pointed it out in a bewildered voice.

“…”

“…”

“Hey… Are you trying to threaten Chase-senpai, Leoruka?”

Everyone’s eyes instantly turned fierce as if they had come to their senses at Remy’s stammering question. Even the ever-gentle Senior Hester!

It was as if he had caught the spoiled brat of Caesar bullying a hapless high school student.

Even Taylor, who was usually busy bickering with Chase, glared at me with a serious expression. I felt so wronged that I almost died from all the fierce gazes.

I knew that the original Leoruka didn’t have a good reputation, so whenever I went to the clubroom, I would always be carried around by Chase in puppy form, but no matter what, when they saw the two of them holding hands, the first thing that came out of their mouth was — Are you threatening me?

I’m not that kind of person! I’m just a harmless puppy!

Now that I think about it, Leoruka had actually threatened Chase. He said he would cut off government support for his mother…

“Hey, that wasn’t it. Everyone, don’t kill people for no reason. I think they were secretly dating, Right?” What broke the icy silence was unexpectedly Abel’s gentle voice. Everyone else, including myself and Chase, opened their mouths in surprise.

“What did you say…?”

“Secret… what?”

“romantic relationship…?”

Abel, who had shocked everyone with just one word, looked back and forth between me and Chase and continued his bomb shell statement.

“You seem to be on good terms. How could you have forced something?”

“What… What did you do…?”

Remy asked with a blank expression, as if talking to himself. Then Abel smiled awkwardly and shook his head.
