After the long first match ended, the Korean national team returned to Jiik Hall to the warm welcome of their fellow students, but they immediately began searching for Gwak Gyeong-gu and Jo Yi-shin.

Gwak Gyeong-gu had finished his check-up and returned, but Jo Yi-shin was nowhere to be found.

“Gyeong-gu, is Yi-shin still getting checked?”

“Gyeong-gu-hyung, you don’t mean Yi-shin is alone in the hospital, right?”

“If he’s at the hospital, Gyeong-gu would have stayed with him. You didn’t leave your junior behind, did you?”

Led by Yeom Jun-yeol, everyone added their comments.

Though Gwak Gyeong-gu wasn’t the type to shrink from being spoken to by many at once, he couldn’t provide a proper answer. His lack of response only fueled suspicions that he had indeed left his junior behind.

Before anyone could directly voice their doubts, Kim Shin-rok stepped in to manage the situation.

“I received a call from the person looking after Yi-shin. He finished his check-up and is resting now.”

“Huh? Who was it?”

“Is it a relative?”

“…I’ve heard Yi-shin doesn’t have any relatives.”

At Maeng Hyo-don’s comment, everyone’s expression darkened.

When Jo Yi-shin was given the title of the ‘Nameless Supernova,’ his personal details had been partially disclosed to the public by reporters. Though the reporters failed to interview Jo Yi-shin directly, they succeeded in conducting a basic background check through his school.

It quickly became known that Jo Yi-shin had lost his entire family in his middle school years.

An article detailing Jo Yi-shin’s tragedy vanished without a trace one day, but the story continued to circulate among people.@@novelbin@@

“Mr. Kim Shin-rok, who took Yi-shin?”

As Kim Shin-rok hesitated, Ju Su-hyeok bluntly asked.

Kim Shin-rok smiled warmly, but he was clearly avoiding giving a direct answer.
