'Ah.

F*ck!

Why the hell do I keep running to people who knew my secret identity?'

First, it was everyone's generous teacher, Eruhaben. It was when he told Cale not to dye his hair. Although Cale still didn't realize that the key word was 'red'.

Second was the council members who were currently the only ones who knew about Cale the most according Kim Rok Soo's senior back at Crossroad Institute, Lee Soo Hyuk.

Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo might also know about it, but it was because Cale chose to let them know, so they weren't counted.

And the third was this current situation.

Rosalyn was telling him that it was weird for a famous student like him called this school famous.

Cale was silent for a moment when the girl continued.

"Ah. Please don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to be rude. I was once in a familiar situation where Prez-nim came looking for me personally. That's why I was curious as to why a new student like Mr. Cale got them looking for you as well. So I did a little research about it and found out by chance."

"Ah." Cale let out an 'ah' as he brightened up a little after hearing that. He then added on "Then.."

'Then, what would you do about it?'

Before he got a chance to ask, Rosalyn answered the question in his mind for him.

"Please don't worry. I won't say anything about it. I assume you wouldn't want anyone to know if you even changed your name like this. Also, let's say that we're even since we did a little research on each other."

"That's a good idea. Thank you very much, Miss Rosalyn." Cale said that and wished that everyone he met would be as nice as her before he took back what he said after hearing what she told him next.

"You're very welcome. By the way, there's no one looking for you. I walked past there by chance and saw how uncomfortable you were with the prez, so I decided to lend you a hand. You can thanks me later about that." The girl left after saying so.

'So now that we were even about investigating each other's background, for this other matter, you're indebted to me.'

Was what she definitely meant to say.

'Geniuses are scary!'

Cale was thinking that genius students could be very scary, taking advantages of people like this.

But well, of course, there is nothing free in the world. It's all about give and take. Just like how, he, himself, took advantage of the council.

But then, again..

"Choi Han is better than anyone in that aspect."

Still, Cale thought that the kind-hearted Choi Han was definitely better than anyone for not taking advantage of other people but instead provide them a pure help.

"I'm better than who?"

Cale instantly got a goosebumps, hearing someone whispered in his ear.

Turning around, Choi Han was right behind Cale, making a puppy eyes as he asked Cale again.

"Cale-nim, who am I better than?"

Cale pushed the close Choi Han away and grumbled.

"Go away. I didn't say anything."

He then walked away while Choi Han followed behind him and persistently kept on asking.

"Cale-nim, I didn't hear it clearly earlier. So, can you say it one more time?"
