Once their secret deal was settled, Tang Soso turned to Baek Suryong. "Mr. Baek, I'm sorry, but could you step outside? I'd like to speak with Senior Hyonwon Kang alone."
Baek Suryong raised an eyebrow. "Just the two of you?"
"We're not going to discuss anything confidential," she reassured. "I just think it'll be hard to have an honest conversation with you here. Don't worry, I'll fill you in later."
Seeing she was serious, Baek Suryong nodded and stood up. "Alright then. Wonkang, when you're finished, head straight home and don't get sidetracked."
"Where would I even go?" Hyonwon Kang mumbled under his breath.
"I can hear you, dumbass. Anyway, I'm off," Baek Suryong said, giving Hyonwon Kang a light smack on the back of the head before disappearing out the inn's door.
The two students remained silent until they were sure he was gone. They didn't know each other before today, and under normal circumstances, they'd have no reason to meet.
Once Baek Suryong was out of earshot, Tang Soso friendly demeanor quickly turned into something more businesslike. "I'll support you from behind the scenes, Senior Hyonwon Kang, but to be honest, your chances of winning this election are nearly zero," she said matter-of-factly.
