Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Jeho had been having a confusing time recently.

As soon as the exchange ended, Jo Ui-shin collapsed after communicating, and his master Baek-ho revealed the secret that Yong-je-geon had been hiding.
The fact that Yong-je-geon was dealing with Ung-nyeo was shocking, but Jo Ui-shin woke up and revealed the existence of Heuk-ho, and Heuk-ho finished reporting that he had not been able to deliver for a long time.
‘Then, Jeok-ho… … Ung-nyeo… … .’

Furthermore, according to Heuk-ho, Ung-nyeo might soon be killed by Jin-ung Pal-seon.
Jeho felt as if he was being crushed by the weight of his forgotten past and the crisis that Ung-nyeo was facing.
When he was frozen, unable to say anything like Jeok-ho, that he should go out and meet Ung-nyeo right away, Jo Ui-shin said.

-I have a suggestion.
Upon hearing that, his sagging body, which could not even sit properly without Yong Je-geon’s help, regained its strength.
Jo Ui-shin revealed the number he had prepared and opened the way for Ung-nyeo.

Gradually, Je-ho’s darkened eyes began to brighten, and he felt as if the voices that had seemed distant were now close by.
After Jo Ui-shin left to make a move, Je-ho finally calmed down, but he still could not accept reality.
‘Am I dreaming?’

Most of the nobles were away, and the surroundings were quiet, making him lose his sense of reality even more.
Eun-ho, the owner of this annex, was also away to see Unsa with Heuk-ho.
As Je-ho was becoming more and more certain of the thought that ‘this is definitely a dream,’ Yong Je-geon, who had remained here obediently to observe Je-ho’s ever-changing expressions, spoke.

―If you can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality, I’ll tell you. Which method is better, the painful method or the non-painful method?
It wasn’t like Baekho gave protection with his true name, but Yongjegeon read Jeho’s mind perfectly.
Just by looking at Yongjegeon’s face, which was so ecstatic that it made the viewers uncomfortable, Jeho realized that this was reality.

Baekho answered Yongjegeon’s nonsense on Jeho’s behalf.
―If you do something stupid, I’ll kill you.
―It’s a nice day, so let me go.
Yongjegeon, who was overflowing with the desire to do something stupid, expressed his regret in an exaggerated manner.

Hwangho’s childish clone looked at him in disbelief.
Instead of dealing with Yongjegeon, Hwangho spoke to Jeho.
―Jeokho and Woongnyeo will return safely. Get ready to welcome your family. It’ll make you feel less anxious if you move your body.

Hwangho sent the coordinates to Jeho on the hologram.
The coordinates pointed to a part of the mansion’s grounds.
Jeho, feeling that he had to do something, diligently cleaned and organized the annex as Hwangho had said.

Since it was so well-maintained, Jeho soon had nothing to do and became anxious, but Yongjegeon’s annoying words next to him made him even more upset.
After a long wait, Jeho finally met the couple.
Due to Yongjegeon’s scheme, he saw the two of them being overly affectionate, but he succeeded in greeting them for the first time.

- Our Jeho.
Ungnyeo, who received the greeting, extended her thin fingers and stroked Jeho’s red hair.
Ungnyeo briefly withdrew her hand, which was so light that it seemed as if the wind had passed by, and then extended her hand again.

Soon, Ungnyeo very carefully brushed back the hair covering Jeho’s left «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» eye.
The tips of Ungnyeo’s fingers were slightly cold from the rain, but her left eye felt hot as if it would shed tears at any moment.
―This is the first time I’ve seen it up close since then.

―If it was back then… … .
―It was when our troublemaker was tricked by some Jin tribe and came to see me at the Ung tribe’s den. He almost got into big trouble.
Tears fell from Jeho’s left eye at those words.

I thought that day, I covered my eyes with a fan and ignored Jeho, but Ungnyeo thought that day was the only time she saw her grown child up close.
Jeokho and Ungnyeo affectionately comforted Jeho, who was shedding tears.
Jeokho was still holding Ungnyeo, so naturally, the distance between the three of them was very close.

If Yong Jegeon hadn’t been there, excitedly watching this scene, it would have been a more touching moment, but that dragon had no intention of leaving.
‘Let’s just treat that dragon as air. There’s no such annoying element in air, but let’s just do that… … .’
Jeho gave up, and Jeokho and Woongnyeo left Yongjegeon alone because their son was tolerant.

No matter what, he couldn’t tolerate him trying to stay in the annex where Jeokho and Woongnyeo were staying the night they reunited, so Jeho dragged Yongjegeon himself and threw him in the guest room.
When morning came, Yongjegeon went wild, saying he needed to get breakfast, but since he thought he’d end up in the red brick annex if he left him alone, he dragged him to Eunho’s annex.
That was fine, but when he realized that the breakfast menu was Jeho’s 100th day meal that Eunho had personally prepared, he was struck with a powerful shock.

‘A 100th day at this age!’
When Jeokho and Woongnyeo said they were going to have a 100th day party yesterday, I thought they were joking, but everyone, including Hojok, was serious.
Jeho tried to tell him that he didn’t need to prepare anything, but Hwangho had already finished ordering rice cakes and listing the guests.

Hwangho declared that he would rent an entire floor of Hwangmyeong Tower to hold a grand 100th-day celebration.
Jeho felt dizzy at the thought of receiving the 100th-day celebration in front of the famous Jin clan who were close enough to be invited by the Hojok and who had left their mark on history.
He felt even more complicated at the thought of receiving congratulations from the Jin clan who were like real children.

“Jeho has grown so much! The last time I saw Jeho was like this.”
After Jo Ui-shin left, saying that he was going to watch a shadow play at Hoyeon Hall on this day, Heukho, who had been glancing at Jeho the whole time, approached and spoke to him.
Although Heukho looked young, he was a close friend of his father, Jeokho, and a great Jin clan who fought alongside them during the mythical era.

However, Heukho, who was like his uncle, was shorter than Eunho’s youngest descendant, Eunjaeho, and if you only consider the time he existed in this world, he was actually quite young.
‘Is it because Heukho’s existence was erased for a long time? I feel young.’
Jinjok was a being that was not affected by his apparent age.

Jeho knew this well.
That’s why he never lost his senses when he met Hwangho, who looked like Hwangyuho, like Jo Ui-shin.
But Heukho was different.

His speech, actions, and thoughts were all like those of a child.
“Jeho liked the flute I played. I have a leaf that I saved to show you. Do you want it?”
Heukho talked earnestly and then took out a leaf of a peculiar shape from his bosom.

It was a leaf that seemed to have been collected thousands of years before Jeho disappeared.
A botanist interested in ancient plants might not know, but no matter how peculiar it was, it was just a leaf to Jeho.
But when he saw the black tiger holding out a leaf in front of him, he felt a sense of longing and a sense of foreboding.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than .net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
Aside from Jeokho and Ungnyeo, the person who had spent the most time with Jeho before the 100th day was none other than the black tiger, and it was clear that Jeho unconsciously remembered this when the black tiger returned.
“Thank you, black tiger.”

When Jeho accepted the leaf, the black tiger made a face that seemed to be at a loss for what to do.
However, the black tiger’s joy did not last long.
It seemed that he suddenly remembered that Jeho had grown up without parents because of his disappearance.

It was no different from a child who thoughtlessly played with a friend and then realized that he had made a big mistake with that friend and felt awkward.
Jeho spoke as if he was trying to appease the childish uncle.
“Thank you for the wonderful gift. Next time, I want to hear you play the flute.”

“……Really? I can play it right now. I’ll do it!”
“It’s okay. I want to listen to it with you, Jeokho and Ungnyeo.”
“Okay. Then I’ll practice. Listen together later!”

Meanwhile, Baekho, who had been watching Yongjegeon so that he wouldn’t interfere and ruin the mood, took his eyes off him for a moment and smiled faintly at the two.
Eunho and Hwangho’s clones also looked pleased at this sight.
“Jeokho and Cheongho should have seen this too. Of course, Jo Ui-shin too.”

“Jeokho is busy spending time with Ungnyeo, so it won’t work. Let’s leave the 100th day celebration alone.”
Even while talking to Heukho, who was chattering innocently, the two of them spoke to Jeho’s ears.
The name of the benefactor who had helped him find his family, Jo Ui-shin, lingered in his ears for a long time.

Hoyeon-gwan.
It was said to be better than yesterday, but it was still raining heavily due to the typhoon, and the wind was strong.
I came comfortably thanks to Hwang Ji-ho’s barrier while moving, but not everyone had such a convenient and powerful companion.

‘There’s still plenty of time until the show starts, but there aren’t many people.’
When Kwon Je-in performed at Hoyeon Hall, there were a lot of people even earlier than this.
However, when I entered the Hoyeon Hall building, I could only see students from the Chinese national team.

Lu Bo-won, who was looking at the entrance with wide eyes, ran over to me as soon as he saw me.
Lu Bo-won welcomed us in fluent Korean.
“The unknown supernova is here! I’m so happy that you brought two friends. Come!”

Lu Bo-won looked at Hwang Ji-ho and Cheong-ho standing next to me with a moved expression and guided them personally.
Lu Bo-won, who was the main character of this show, wondered if it was okay for him to be here like this.
It was like Kwon Jae-in or Dokgo Mi-ro not rehearsing right before the performance and greeting the guests themselves.

“When I told them you were coming, they all said I should go myself! If it’s okay, can we take a picture together now? I want to upload a picture with the comment, ‘An unknown supernova is coming to see today’s performance!’……”
The purpose was to promote it.
I wondered how many people would come if they used my picture for promotion, but I agreed.

I also needed to build up favorability with Lu Bo-won right now, and I’m a member of the exchange program and a school ambassador.
Lu Bo-won, who was expecting a promotional effect, might be disappointed, but it would be easier to talk if there were fewer people.
“Of course, it’s okay. Can we take a selfie together?”

“I want to upload a few pictures of us together and some solo shots of you! And if it’s okay, with your friends……”
“We’re done. Just take pictures with Jo Eui-shin.”
As expected, Hwang Ji-ho and Cheong-ho declined.

But Hwang Ji-ho is set to be one year younger than Lu Bo-won.
Is it okay to speak so informally?
Lubowon didn’t seem to care much, but I did.

Lubowon, who took the photo, thanked me several times and then left, saying that he would discuss it with his team and write a promotional article right away.
‘After the performance, I’ll have a chance to talk to Lubowon. There’s no one else, so there won’t be many people to say hello to, and it’ll be over soon.’
And about 10 minutes later.

My expectations were completely off.
Starting with the classmates asking ‘Are we at Hoyeon Hall right now?’ on the device messenger, more and more people started sending messages.
Soon, dormitory students who had braved the storm began to flock to the entrance of Hoyeon Hall, and then the residents of Eun Gwang-gu showed up one by one.

A huge big shot also showed up.
“Hello.”
The big shot immediately found me and spoke to me.

“Today was a lesson, and Lena showed interest in the promotional article, so I came.”
Starting with Yao Leqi, who ran out of the waiting room upon hearing the news of the appearance of the blue violinist Kwon Jae-in, the players from the Chinese national team covered their mouths and screamed silently.
