HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 230: Taking a Breather (1)

Kang Ra-Eun had been extremely competitive even before her return to the past. Although her gender had changed, that tendency of hers had not. Her desire not to lose to anyone was still blazing within her heart. She had absolutely no intention of backing down, even if her opponent was her former mentor.

‘When had Team Leader Park Eun-Soo left the security team again?’

Eun-Soo would transfer out of Kim Han-Gyo’s security team in approximately eight years from now. In other words, he would stick right beside Han-Gyo to protect him until then.

‘It also means I would be forced to confront Team Leader Park for the next eight years.’

Ra-Eun had no ill feelings toward Eun-Soo; he had been a great mentor, sunbae, and work superior, and she had learned many things from him. If she wanted to avoid their relationship from becoming hostile, there was only one way, which was to refrain from attacking Han-Gyo until Eun-Soo transferred elsewhere. In short, she would need to put an eight-year stop to her revenge plan. There was no way that Ra-Eun would do such a thing.

‘I have to eliminate Kim Han-Gyo with my own hands, even if it makes Park Eun-Soo my enemy!’

Revenge had been the only driving force in her life that had kept her going despite having become a woman. Without revenge, Ra-Eun was nothing more than a corpse. After some thought, she came to a conclusion.

‘I just have to get stronger than Team Leader Park, don’t I?’

Hence, she had come to Jung Hun-Seong’s gym. Hun-Seong couldn’t hide his astonishment at Ra-Eun’s unannounced visit.

“Ra-Eun, why are you...”

He was curious about why she had come here. He wondered if she had come to ask him to model for her products again, but he did not expect the answer that Ra-Eun gave.

“I want to get stronger.”

Hun-Seong did not quite understand what she meant.

“What do you mean by that exactly?” he asked.

Ra-Eun had a clear reason for her pursuit of strength, which was for the sake of her revenge.

‘But I can’t give Hun-Seong the details.’

Not only was it absurd, but it was also a hassle to explain. Hence, Ra-Eun made a roundabout excuse.

“Do you remember back when I had been attacked by a stalker?”

“Oh, yes. Of course.”

The Kang Ra-Eun stalker incident had stirred the entire entertainment industry at the time. Although it had been resolved smoothly, the incident had also frightened her fans. As a member of Ra-Eun’s fan club, there was no way that Hun-Seong wouldn’t know of the incident.

“That’s why I’d like to learn some self-defense techniques from you,” Ra-Eun remarked.

But of course, the self-defense that she was thinking of was far more different than what Hun-Seong was likely thinking of. Having no idea of this, Hun-Seong gladly accepted her request.

“I see. I understand. It’d be my pleasure to help you!”

Hun-Seong’s junior whispered from next to him, “Sunbae. Didn’t you say that you were going to focus on your own training for the time being?”

Hun-Seong then looked angrily at him and mentioned, “This is obviously more important than my training.”

Hun-Seong considered spending time with Ra-Eun to have as much value as going for an Olympic medal.
