Knowing that Do Min-joon's phone had simply run out of battery and nothing bad had happened, Cheon Song-yi finally let out a huge sigh of relief.
Chatting idly, she followed him into his home.
She liked Do Min-joon, naturally, she wanted to spend more time with him.
Besides, this wasn't her first time here. She had even stayed at his place before, and knew the door code by heart.
Walking in on her own, she suddenly spotted a stranger inside Min-joon's home.
What puzzled her was, although she was sure she had never seen this man before, there was something oddly familiar about him.
Still, since he was in Min-joon's house, he was probably a friend of his.
Thinking so, she stepped forward politely.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Hello, I'm Cheon Song-yi.
『Do Min-joon』: I… still have some matters to discuss with this gentleman,
Before he could finish, Song-yi froze, her expression one of utter disbelief as she stared at Carl.
She hurried over, standing right in front of him, studying his face closely.
『Carl』: …What are you doing?
『Do Min-joon』: Staring at someone like that is rather rude, don't you think?
But Song-yi didn't seem to hear him. She kept staring, her voice trembling.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Excuse me… are you… Superman?
『Carl』: That's right.
Truth be told, Carl hadn't expected to be recognized.
He had been in Goryeo for some time now. Though he didn't go out often, he still visited supermarkets, restaurants, and other places almost daily. Yet hardly anyone had recognized him.
Perhaps foreign news didn't hold much sway here, or maybe people simply lacked the channels to follow it.
There had been only one time, a diner guest had recognized him. Carl had hypnotized that person immediately, so the incident remained vivid in his memory.
Aside from that, no one else had ever recognized him.
Not even Lee Jae-kyung, whom Carl had recently dealt with. If Jae-kyung had known Carl's true identity, perhaps he wouldn't have sought his own destruction.
…Then again, maybe he would have.
In My Love from the Star, even after learning Min-joon was an alien with countless abilities, Jae-kyung still chose to oppose him, and lost in the end. A madman like that would've challenged Carl regardless.
But here and now, being recognized by Cheon Song-yi did surprise him.
She, however, looked even more shocked.
『Cheon Song-yi』: You really are Superman! Oh my god, I can't believe I'm actually seeing Superman in person!
『Cheon Song-yi』: Ah, sorry, sorry!
She felt embarrassed, but who could blame her?
This was the legendary hero himself, the Superman she had only ever read about in comics, seen in movies, or caught on American news.
She still remembered watching the reports of him defeating Abomination; even then she had been thrilled.
Now, with him standing right before her eyes, she could hardly contain her excitement.
Trying hard to calm herself, she asked curiously:
『Cheon Song-yi』: Superman, why are you here? Didn't the news say you were in America?
『Carl』: I was. But recently, I came to Goryeo for a bit, to visit some friends.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Oh wow… I never thought you'd have friends here.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Then… what are you doing in Min-joon's house?
A sudden thought struck her. Superman had said he was here visiting friends. And now he was in Do Min-joon's home.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Don't tell me… Min-joon is your friend?
『Do Min-joon』: Ah, yes, that's right. Superman came to see me. We had a few things to discuss.
He quickly cut in, worried Carl might accidentally reveal what had happened earlier with the car accident. He didn't want Song-yi to worry.
Carl simply smiled, saying nothing. He neither confirmed nor denied.
The "friends" he had spoken of, of course, were Zhao Hailun and Jang Man-wol, not Do Min-joon.
In fact, before arriving in Goryeo, Carl hadn't even known someone like Do Min-joon existed in this world. Today was their first meeting.
Still, since Min-joon had said so, Carl saw no reason to contradict him.
Meeting both Min-joon and Song-yi felt strangely pleasant, after all, he had seen them in his previous life.
But now that introductions were done, he felt it was time to leave. He had no desire to be the third wheel.
『Carl』: Since someone's here for you, I'll take my leave. By the way, the matter you were most worried about… I've already handled it. That troublesome problem won't be bothering you anymore.
『Do Min-joon』: …The thing I was most worried about?
He looked confused, not understanding what Carl meant.
『Carl』: Don't worry. You'll know in time. Live your life in peace.
Of course, he was talking about Lee Jae-kyung.
With that, Carl prepared to depart.
But before he could, Song-yi's voice called out again.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Wait, Superman!
He turned, puzzled by her urgency.
『Cheon Song-yi』: Um… this might sound a little embarrassing, but… could I maybe take a photo with you? I'm actually a fan, so…
『Cheon Song-yi』: Really?! Thank you so much!
She hurried to his side, phone in hand, snapping several shots with uncontainable glee.
Afterward, she eagerly scrolled through the pictures, her face glowing with excitement. The source of thɪs content is novel[f]ire.net
『Cheon Song-yi』: Thank you so much! Would it be alright if I posted these online?
『Cheon Song-yi』: Thank you!!
Standing aside, Do Min-joon watched the scene with mixed feelings.
Did she really have to get that excited? All this fuss… just for a few photos?
