Seeing him apologizing quietly, I suddenly felt relaxed and didn't even think about getting angry anymore.

Also, the guy's kickboard wasn't normal. Behind him, I could see an L-shaped piece of scrap metal lying on the street tree, like trash.

"... Be careful in the future."

"Yes."

The answer is also straight, and it makes me angry. I looked down at my clothes and belongings scattered on the sidewalk with dark eyes. Then, the guy who was watching me from the front quickly picked up my belongings and the hems of my clothes that had fallen on the sidewalk and put them back in the shopping bag.

I don't know if he was putting them in the shopping bag or in the laundry basket. It's even more annoying.

The guy said, handing me the shopping bag with both hands.

"Then... can I go and see it?"

I let out a sigh, enduring the pain in my sore arms and legs. I thought I should just say I was unlucky today.

But just as I was about to tell him to go, the name engraved on the chest of his uniform caught my eye.

Hyung Joo Yoo

'... ...?!'

At the same time, my mouth stopped. This name was so familiar.

This is... The name on the casting board. My mind, suddenly sensing the coldness, quickly searched through all my memories to figure out where I had seen him.

Director Yoo (Hyung Joo Yoo): Do-yoon Choi's friend of the same age and a loan shark.

"... ... ."

Director Yoo is a loan shark and close friend of Choi Do-yoon.

I was speechless for a moment. Why is this guy... here?

If someone were to ask why the male protagonist of a romance novel had to be best friends with a loan shark, it would be because... sometimes, when the female protagonist experiences an injustice that is not protected by the law, the male protagonist has to magically appear and solve it.

When Choi Seung-hyun actually kidnapped the female protagonist, Bae Ji-an, Choi Do-yoon saw the power of Yoo Hyeong-ju's underground connections.

After that, he also plays his role very 'well' when Choi Do-yoon deals with Choi Seung-hyun.

In the original, when Choi Do-yoon was a college student, he accidentally found Yu Hyeong-ju lying in a pool of blood near his house and took him to the hospital. As a result, Yu Hyeong-ju came to regard Choi Do-yoon as his savior.

He blindly follows and admires Do-yoon, who is kind to him even though he lives in a different world from him.

Well... I don't really care about that beautiful story of just the two of them. What's important is that this guy later lends Choi Seung-hyun an unmanageable amount of money under Choi Do-yoon's orders and ends up beating him to death.

Although it's not detailed in the original, Yoo Hyeong-ju was described as having gone beyond gangsterism since he was young due to his unfortunate family background.

'If I hadn't met Do-yoon back then, I would have continued living like trash.'

It was a bit of an awkward thing for a punk who was still a loan shark to say while acting cool. However, it did have the effect of making him look like he had changed his ways. After all, the person in front of him was Choi Seung-hyun, a real piece of trash who was into drugs, prostitution, workplace bullying, and kidnapping his younger brother's girlfriend.
