Chapter 445: The First To Cry Survives (2)
That wasn’t the only option.
However, before I could even begin to formulate a judgment, the liquid coming out of my eyes told me that this would be the closest answer. I couldn’t make another choice by then.
As thick crocodile tears poured down, I looked at the agitated faces of Lee Cheol-woo and Kim Daegun. They looked as if they were confused about what to do.
“I mean…”
“Ha…”
I also noticed the darkening faces of the four female members.
They looked as if they were asking what the hell I was doing. They had obviously didn’t expect me to do this – the first to cry is always the one who survives, wasn’t it?
They seemed to be reading the atmosphere and maintaining their ground.
‘If you’re not sure, don’t bet on your victory, bitches.’
I was sure that this wasn’t what they had been picturing.
They would have thought that everything would go smoothly after such a big humiliation. After receiving the support of Lee Cheol-woo and Kim Daegun, she would’ve suggested officially kicking me out from the party, and if that weren’t possible, she might have come out somewhat stubborn.
It was about time I made all of their plans collapse in one blow.
My cry, which sounded so sorrowful, filled the quiet hall.
‘It even sounds sad to my own ears.’
“Sniff.”
Of course, what they chose to go for was a hard line of policy as expected.
A sharp voice echoed again.
“Wow, really… unbelievable. What makes you think you deserve to cry?”
“Sniff…”
“Do you think anything will change? It’s really ridiculous.”
“Isn’t she a completely crazy bitch? That one.”
“I really… phew.”
However, there was no way their tactics would work.
Lee Cheol-woo and Kim Daegun were already under the influence of my skill.
The way they were blocking me from them, stronger than the Berlin Wall and Castle Rock’s Wall, felt like I could troll any way I wanted, and they would still protect me until the end.
Even though public opinion was already moving in favor of me, I was still grateful that she also chose to harshly shout at me.
At that moment, I realized that the tactic to disguise myself as a victim thoroughly was much more effective using the body of Light Kiyeon, rather than the body of Light Kiyoung.
“What do you think you guys are doing?”
“We’ve already told you. She’s not the kind of person you think she is. It was weird from the beginning. She applied for a party without bringing anything. Are you telling me to go to the dungeon with a woman like that? It’s dangerous as it is. She won’t be any help.”
“How many times have I not told you not to mess around, Minji?”
“But I’m not. I’m doing this because I think it’ll help the party. You are just being fooled.”
“Kiyeon, are you okay? Calm down…”
“Sniiff.”
I listened to them talking loudly as I ensured that my tears wouldn’t stop pouring.
Lee Cheol-woo comforted me as Kim Daegun confronted the rest of the party. The old proverb that said whoever cried first never lost had once again stuck itself into my heart.
“Wow, this is really absurd. Really.”
“Are you really going to go down this path?”
“Kook Minji.”
“It’s not our fault! You’ve heard the story before, right?”
“You must have misunderstood something. Kiyeon is not that kind of person.”
‘How can you say I’m not that kind of person if you don’t know me, Cheol-woo? Still, thank you. I won’t forget this. But you can’t trust people too easily.’
“Misunderstanding, my ass. Mijeong has confirmed it with her own eyes. Hey, Kiyeon. Am I wrong? Didn’t you run into her this morning?”
That was where my words would matter.
Of course, this was a little far-fetched, but the appropriate excuses were already prepared.
“I-I just received an offer…sniff… to join the clan. I was also surprised… what you’re thinking… sniff… didn’t happen. It didn’t…”
‘It wasn’t me that was obscene, but the dirty thoughts in your head.’
“A clan recruitment offer at dawn? Who would believe such an excuse…”
‘You’re asking who? Your boys would.’
“He said we would leave early in the morning… sniff!”
“Can you please speak in a way we can understand?”
“Sorry. Sniff. I-I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s not something you should be sorry for.”
“Sorry. I’m… sorry…”
I was actually developing a sore throat. Nobody who witnessed the scene could say that I was acting.
It was unfair that the sounds of me crying were blocking every word I said.
Of course, I knew I also looked silly. It must’ve felt frustrating how I couldn’t speak properly because I couldn’t control my feelings.
Lee Cheol-woo and Kim Daegun were busy trying to appease Light Kiyeon, as if something really did go wrong.
“You don’t have to tell me.”
“How can you believe her? Do you really think they came to make a recruitment offer at dawn? Why weren’t the Clan Master with them if they’re recruiting new clan members? You can’t expect us to believe that, right? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?”
“I’m sorry. Sniff. I… I was wrong.”
“It’s not Kiyeon’s fault. You don’t have to apologize.”
“No… I was wrong…”
‘I deserve justice.’
“I’m sorry…”
‘This is Light Kiyeon!’
“So, you’re playing as a victim to the end? To the end?!”
“I’m sor…”
Lee Cheol-woo’s arms held onto me as if I couldn’t stand it anymore.
The innocent guy seemed startled for a moment, but he started patting my shoulder as if he wasn’t an idiot.
‘If you can’t even do that, you’re an idiot.’

I hadn’t seen his face, but it was probably very red by now. Of course, I didn’t intend to end it there. I had prepared the mocking laughter for a better blow.
This was because the more agitated they were, the more advantageous my position became.
I naturally turned my head slightly while being held in Lee Cheolwoo’s arms.
My eyes met exactly with Kook Minji’s eyes.
I didn’t know if it was good luck or bad luck, but the other three women were talking to Kim Daegun at the time.
I kept making the crying sound, but I began to smile. Perhaps, to Kook Minji’s eyes, I would look like a vulpine woman.
At this point, her face was shaking.
I felt like I wanted to compliment her because she was holding up her anger well. Since she had been evaluated as a moving taunt totem, it was a little surprising.
Even many demon officials could never hold back their anger against my mocking laughter.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
As I started to act cute with my head on Lee Cheol-woo’s wide chest, a thunder-like voice resonated throughout the hall.
“You vulpine woman! Stay away from him!”
“…”
“…”
“Watch your tongue. Kook Minji!”
“This fucking slut bitch! Didn’t you see it? She just laughed at me. Fuck! She laughed at me!”
“Kook Minji!”
“You!!”
‘You look too ugly, Minji.’
She came running at me. Anyone could see she was out of her mind.
Although Lee Cheol-woo blocked to protect me, he couldn’t stop the agile thief with the body of a weak priest.
Eventually, she hit me on my arm.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”
She just wanted to push me out, but I didn’t want just that.
It had been a long time since I last showed off my Hollywood-worthy acting. I fell to the ground, and Lee Cheol-woo stood out as he hurriedly helped me.
Kook Minji, with a bold face, was stunned as if she just realized the mistake that she made.
The expressions of the other three women also didn’t look that good. In any case, she touched my body, and in the end, I had gotten hurt.
Even if I did something wrong, in the end, they were the ones to blame.
The perpetrator and the victim were obvious at that point. it was not unreasonable that my human Berlin Walls were agitated.
“I-I’m sorry…”
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
There was great anger in his voice.
“O-Oppa…”
“The expedition is not over yet… you really have to come out in this way?!”
“No…”
“Are you aware of how you look right now? Knock it off, Kook Minji. Knock it off! Why the hell are you doing this? It’s just for a while… and you can’t even stand that? I didn’t know you were like this.”
‘That was an excellent line. Whew. Were you always like this, Cheol-woo?! I can recruit you as an actor! That drama line was awesome!’
“Oppa, listen, that woman…”
“I don’t want to hear it. Minji, I don’t even want to see your face right now.”
“O-Oppa.”
Minji’s eyes began to tear up, and pity bloomed in my heart for her. She looked as if her parents had betrayed her, which meant that Minji probably saw Lee Cheol-woo as someone important.
However, Cheol-woo replied to her coldly, anyway.
“Apologize.”
“Uh…?”
“Apologize to Kiyeon right now.”
“But…”
“Don’t disappoint me even more, Minji. I’m being as nice as possible right now. Apologize.”
This was no different than telling her to let go of her pride.
Of course, it wouldn’t be easy, but Kook Minji slowly began to approach me in the end.
I was worried about her throwing a dagger at me, but seeing her head bowing with her mouth closed, it dawned on me that she wasn’t that crazy.
This had happened because she could not stand a moment’s anger.
“I… I’m sorry. Gruunt.”
“…”
“I-I’m sorry. Gruuunt. I… was wrong.”
‘Right. Knowing that you’re wrong is enough, Minji. Don’t mess with me recklessly. This is social life. You shouldn’t cry last but rather cry first. The first cry always has an absolute advantage.’
In fact, I really wanted to push her into a corner a little bit more.
However, if Kook Minji did that much, I should also show some softness. It wouldn’t make sense to make her even angrier. We had to go on expeditions afterward. If the misunderstanding deepens, we can’t trust each other’s backs going forward.
“No… I am more… sorry. I think I made you misunderstand because… I’m not good enough.”
At that point, the little war had ended.
The other three women also bowed their heads.
“I think I misunderstood something. I’m sorry, Ms. Kiyeon.”
“I’m really sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s okay. It’s really okay, so you don’t have to lower your head like that. It’s partly because I didn’t behave properly.”
‘You’ve become too nice, Kiyeon.’
Had it been my usual self, I would have completely destroyed those rude bitches. I deserved a sincere apology and a thank-you just for ending things so lightly.
“She also has a heart of gold.”
The small murmuring voice of Kim Daegun entered my ear.
He was correct, no matter how I was to think about it.
