Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 85
Chapter 85
Kang Daehan and the Jealous Villainess (3)
Joo Jiyeon.
She ranked 12th among the new students, a formidable talent.
As the third daughter of the OhSung Group, one of the top five conglomerates in South Korea, she had been doted on and pampered from a young age, which led her to become a bit spoiled.
Her hair was reminiscent of a sunset, flowing like a waterfall with its ends curled up into a style resembling a bun.
It was the kind of hairstyle often seen on characters in subculture media.
If Yoo Seolhyun gave off the vibe of a decadent villainess, Joo Jiyeon evoked the image of an immature noble girl.
Her personality wasn’t particularly bad, and she generally got along well with her classmates.
But her type? She was into rough, bad boys. And after being once helped by Kang Daehan, she had been head over heels for him ever since, sending him heart-filled love confessions.
Of course, Kang Daehan was too busy rejecting her with a nonchalant expression to care.
Rumor had it that Kang Daehan’s type was “a woman stronger than him.”
With that in mind, Joo Jiyeon had worked hard and managed to enter Union Academy ranked 12th, defeating numerous geniuses along the way.
Though she still wasn’t quite Kang Daehan’s type, she fantasized that with a little more effort, he might eventually notice her.
However, there was one girl who made her feel anxious.
An unexpected rival had appeared.
‘Ugh… Jin Soyeon, what’s with her? Seriously…’
Joo Jiyeon had been brooding over this for weeks, biting her nails and messing up her carefully styled sunset-colored hair that her personal hairstylist had worked so hard on.
‘Lately, Daehan seems to be paying attention to that Jin Soyeon or whatever her name is…’
Under normal circumstances, she would have dismissed such rumors with a laugh.
Kang Daehan, of all people, taking an interest in some nobody girl? If it were someone like Yoo Seolhyun, Yuliya, or Sunari, maybe. But Jin Soyeon, a mere commoner? No way.
At best, she had a pretty face, but what else did she have going for her?
Her midterm grades were mediocre, at best.
She ranked around 257th in the entrance exam, didn’t she?
Kang Daehan wasn’t like those other boys who drooled over a pretty face. He wouldn’t be interested in a weakling like Jin Soyeon.

And yet…
Something felt off.
You know how women sometimes just *know* things?
Her instincts as a woman told her something was suspicious.
Lately, Kang Daehan’s gaze had been subtly following Jin Soyeon.
They didn’t seem particularly close, but somehow, Daehan’s eyes would trail after Jin Soyeon’s retreating figure from time to time.
As if he was secretly interested in her.
‘Don’t be ridiculous. Why would Daehan be interested in *her*?’
Even though anger bubbled up inside her, Joo Jiyeon shook her head and tried to calm herself down.
*Sigh… Fine, let’s be generous.*
Let’s say, hypothetically, that Daehan was interested in Jin Soyeon.
If she were a decent girl, maybe Joo Jiyeon could grudgingly acknowledge her as a rival(?), but from what she’d heard, Jin Soyeon was a complete mess!
Rumors were swirling around about how she had caught the attention of Lee Siwoon from SL Group, about how she used to date the currently popular Lee Jinhyuk, about how she used to go around laughing and playing with other boys…
Sure, Jin Soyeon didn’t seem to hang around boys as much these days, but Joo Jiyeon didn’t care about that.
Because Jin Soyeon’s past was enough to make her reputation shine—in all the wrong ways.
And so, Joo Jiyeon couldn’t help but think:
‘Jin Soyeon… Isn’t she just a queen bee?’
A queen bee who lured boys into her hive with her innocent face, all while basking in their affection like royal jelly.
That’s exactly what Jin Soyeon seemed like.
‘Hmph. Does she even know her place? Flirting with Daehan? I’ll make sure she never tries that again.’
A girl who played around with this boy and that boy… How dare she?
It was obvious to Joo Jiyeon that Jin Soyeon must have been secretly seducing Kang Daehan.
Even a guy like Daehan, who normally didn’t show interest in girls, was still a man, after all. Joo Jiyeon was determined to make sure Jin Soyeon never tried to seduce Daehan again.
And as for Lee Siwoon…
Even if Lee Siwoon from SL Group was protecting Jin Soyeon, it didn’t matter.
After all, Joo Jiyeon, the third daughter of the OhSung Group, wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.
She wasn’t weak enough to be stopped by something like family backing!

“Hey, Jin Soyeon.”
“Hm?”
One day after school.
T hi s w a s c o p i ed f r om ki n g m t l .o r g
A girl from another class called out to Jin Soyeon.
Jin Soyeon tilted her head slightly, her expression puzzled. She didn’t know the girl well, so she had no idea why she was being called.
But that scornful expression… She had seen it many times before.
Usually, when someone called her with that kind of look, it always led to the same outcome, so Jin Soyeon sighed internally.
Yeah, I was wondering why things had been so quiet lately.
It was about time for something like this to happen.
“Let’s have a little chat, shall we?”
“Hmm…”
Jin Soyeon glanced around the classroom.
Lee Jinhyuk had stepped out for a moment.
Great, no Jinhyuk. Let’s get this over with quickly.
She knew that avoiding this type of situation wasn’t going to make it go away, so she nodded her head without resistance.
After all, it wasn’t in Jin Soyeon’s nature to run away from things like this.
“Alright, as long as it doesn’t take too long.”
“It won’t, as long as you behave.”
Oh, really now?
Jin Soyeon smirked inwardly as she followed the girls.
After a short walk, they arrived at a large club room. The interior was quite luxurious, more like a reception room than a regular club room.
“You’re Jin Soyeon, right? Welcome.”
“And you are?”
Sitting elegantly on a pricey sofa, a girl with orange bun-style hair was sipping tea.
Judging by her aura, it was clear she was from a wealthy family, similar to Yoo Seolhyun.
“I’m Joo Jiyeon from Class 5.”
“Got it.”
Jin Soyeon vaguely remembered seeing her before.
She was the girl who often came to their class.
Or to be more specific, she came to see Kang Daehan.
‘Hmm.’
Jin Soyeon glanced around.
Several other girls from different classes, along with a few from her own class, were standing around staring at her.
Some of the girls didn’t particularly like Jin Soyeon, so it was clear what this was all about.
*Clink.*
The sound of a teacup being gently placed on the table echoed loudly.
Joo Jiyeon carefully set her cup down and raised her head slightly.
“I’ve heard a lot about you. Word is you’ve been getting quite cozy with the boys.”
She locked eyes with Jin Soyeon.
“Don’t you think you’re being a bit… indecent?”
“…….”
“You know what I mean, right? Jin Soyeon?”
“…….”
Jin Soyeon remained silent for a moment.
Seeing her quiet, Joo Jiyeon smirked inwardly, like a spoiled little girl thinking she had the upper hand. She probably thought Jin Soyeon was scared.
*Heh.* Of course.
It was only natural.
Here stood Joo Jiyeon, the daughter of OhSung Group, delivering a warning in this intimidating atmosphere. A mere commoner like Jin Soyeon couldn’t help but tremble in fear!
Especially since she was surrounded by these unfamiliar girls.
Even if she was a hero trainee, it was only natural for her to be frightened. *Hohoho.* But don’t worry. I’m not planning on tormenting her too much. Just as long as she promises to stay away from Kang Daehan, I’ll let her go after a few warnings.
After all, Joo Jiyeon wasn’t the type to hold grudges, right?
“As expected, you’re just like I thought.”
Jin Soyeon let out a small chuckle and shook her head.
The warnings, the threats… It was so predictable.
What? Did her crush show interest in Jin Soyeon?
She had dealt with situations like this so many times that it had become both familiar and tiresome.
“What? What did you just say, Jin Soy—”
“Enough. If you have something to say, just say it directly. What am I supposed to know?”
S-she cut me off!
Ugh, what’s with this girl?
And why doesn’t she look scared?
Normally, anyone would be trembling in this kind of atmosphere.
But Jin Soyeon wasn’t fazed at all. She stared directly at Joo Jiyeon, speaking calmly. At first, Joo Jiyeon had thought Jin Soyeon was just too scared to speak, but when she looked into her eyes, she realized that wasn’t the case at all.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f ro m ki n g mt l . or g
“Are you doing this because of Daehan?”
“H-huh?”
“Ha. Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not interested in Daehan. We don’t even get along.”
“Then why does Daehan keep looking at you… It *must* be because you’re flirting with him!”
“Flirting? Oh, please.”
Jin Soyeon let out a deep sigh.
Her tone was sharp, completely different from her usual gentle demeanor.
T h i s w a s c opi e d f r o m k i n g mt l . o r g
The fact that she was being dragged into another mess like this, despite distancing herself from other boys recently, was stressing her out.
Besides, Jin Soyeon wasn’t the type to be nice to girls who pulled stunts like this.
Th i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i n g mt l . o rg
If she had been that kind of person, she wouldn’t have been able to fend off all the girls who envied her over the years.
“I’m really not interested in Daehan. I actually like someone else.”
“O-oh, really?”
“Yeah. So stop dragging me into this kind of nonsense…”
T h is w a s co pie d f r o m ki n g m t l . or g
“You bitch. Jin Soyeon, do you not understand the situation?”
At that moment, one of the girls standing nearby, a black-haired girl, growled menacingly.
She was a girl from Jin Soyeon’s class and had always disliked her. The boy she liked had shown some interest in Jin Soyeon, so she had no fondness for her.
She couldn’t stand how Jin Soyeon always seemed to hang out with talented and good-looking guys, like she was the protagonist of some reverse harem.
Normally, she couldn’t touch Jin Soyeon because of Lee Siwoon’s influence.
But now…
Now was her chance.
Even Joo Jiyeon, the third daughter of the OhSung Group, didn’t like Jin Soyeon and was planning to put her in her place!
This was an opportunity, a golden one.
With Joo Jiyeon backing her up, there was nothing to fear.
T his w as c o pi ed fr o m k i n g m t l .o rg
Joo Jiyeon would attract all the attention anyway.
“Our Jiyeon is being nice to you, but you think you can take her lightly?”
“Huh? Me? Hmm?”
“If you want to keep living peacefully at the academy, you’d better watch yourself, you bitch.”
“Wow, okay.”
Joo Jiyeon flinched, her face suddenly uneasy.
The black-haired girl’s harsh language had taken her by surprise.
W-wait, why is she so vulgar?
She had only brought her along because she disliked Jin Soyeon, but… Was she always this bad?
And isn’t she taking this too far?
This is kind of scary.
And looking at her closely, she kind of does have the face of a delinquent.
“Right, Jiyeon?”
“O-oh, uh, yeah. Y-yeah, that’s right.”
Joo Jiyeon nodded nervously, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She was supposed to be the leader of this group, so she couldn’t afford to let herself look scared.
“Looks like you’re about to hit me.”
“You think it’ll stop at just one hit?”
“Maybe don’t?”
“What? You scared now?”
The black-haired girl was trying to further intimidate Jin Soyeon. She knew this was her only chance.
“Listen, you bitch. I’m telling you, stop messing around with the guys…”
“Are you seriously about to hit me?”
The black-haired girl had raised her hand, ready to slap Jin Soyeon.
But before she could, Jin Soyeon grabbed her wrist.
“What the—let go!”
“It’s self-defense. You get that, right?”
Then Jin Soyeon headbutted the black-haired girl right in the face!
Despite her innocent appearance, Jin Soyeon’s counterattack was surprisingly tough. The girl staggered back, clutching her face, teeth clenched.
“Ow?! W-what the hell…?!”
She stumbled, gripping her bloody nose.
Blood?
I’m bleeding.
This… this bitch…!
“You… You’re dead!”
Suddenly, the girl activated her ability.
It was a reinforcement-type ability that made her body as hard as iron.
Thanks to that power, she was ranked somewhere around 100th in the school.
With her eyes burning with rage, she swung her right hand in a wide arc, aiming to punch Jin Soyeon in the stomach.
“Wait, stop!”
Joo Jiyeon screamed in panic.
Was she insane? Using her ability over something like this? If this escalated, things could get out of hand in no time. Joo Jiyeon hurried to stop the girl, whose eyes were practically spinning with anger.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom k ing m t l . o r g
T h i s wa s cop i ed f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g
To be clear, Joo Jiyeon had only planned to give Jin Soyeon a warning, not to resort to violence!
And if they got caught, they’d get suspended! Suspended!
Do these girls seriously think I’ll just cover for them, no matter what they do?!
‘Wait, what? What’s going on?’
But then something even more unexpected happened.
Jin Soyeon, with a completely calm expression, caught the black-haired girl’s powerful punch as easily as if it were nothing.
It wasn’t an all-out attack by any means, but still… Jin Soyeon wasn’t supposed to be able to block something like that so effortlessly.
Wasn’t she ranked 257th?
And her ability wasn’t impressive at all.
“You’re the one who used your ability first, right?”
