Chapter 155: 15. System
In truth, Cha Seohu hadn’t intended to explain anything to Song Jiwoon or King Wang. The two of them didn’t know what Cha Sahyeon used to look like, so there was no real reason to drag them into this.
His plan had been simple: deal with the aura by putting the choker on Sahyeon and offer Ryu Sunghyun a plausible explanation, just enough to satisfy him.
‘I didn’t expect him to turn into a child right at that moment.’
If he’d known, he would’ve waited to put the choker on until they’d left the mountain. But no—thanks to that damn aura storm, they got caught in the worst possible timing.
‘If the effect was this major, he should’ve told me earlier...!’
Grinding his teeth, Cha Seohu shot a glare at the Sahyeon nestled in his arms.
Sahyeon tilted his head with an innocent, wide-eyed expression. And even when Seohu tried to put him down, he clung on tightly.
The grown bastard was truly shameless. But what could Seohu do? He couldn’t just toss a child-looking Sahyeon aside in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to hold him and speak.
“...The reason my younger brother looks younger is due to an item effect. His true appearance is what you saw earlier.”
“There are items like that?”
Song Jiwoon, who had spent most of his life in the mountains, asked in bewilderment. King Wang, who wasn’t very interested in items either, looked curious.
Only Ryu Sunghyun said nothing. He quietly stared at Seohu and Sahyeon, face unreadable.
