She’s so little and looks so thin, but no one here cares about a baby this tiny. Should I give my chicken to her? Can a two-year-old baby even eat chicken?

Seeing the translucent panel in front of him, Suho was bewildered, he looked at the manager and director, who were just as shocked as he was, but they were focusing on the rod instead of the glowing panel in front of him.
"Ahem! I thought fixing this might help you block the sun. I don’t like the sun."
Suho instantly came up with an excuse, while showing his deathly pale skin and an overfriendly smile, he doesn’t know what the fuck happened, but there was something magical in front of him, which others can’t see, and it might be his only lifeline to be saved.
"Were you really trying to fix it?"
Manager Choi looked in Suho’s direction with a suspicious gaze, he was certain he saw death in the boy’s eye, but he was just trying to help?
"Of course, why else would I bother to pick up a rod? As you see, I’ve studied my whole life and gotten this far. Do you think I will just throw it all away for a child? Isn’t that right, Director-nim?"
Suho smiled, he was happy that the system panel disappeared once he gave it command from his mind, then a fake smile plastered across his face as he moved around the room and, with his six-foot height, placed the curtain rod perfectly into the holder.
"There, done."
"Boy, you scared me, sigh! You’re right, I was thinking too much. I am giving you an opportunity to stand alongside someone who you will only see on TV and forget about ever meeting her, so be grateful."
"Of course, I know my limits as well. I won’t touch her and will not speak with her if it’s not absolutely necessary."
Suho looked at Manager Choi, and seeing his serious expression, he gestured towards his own mouth to show the ’ass-kissing smile’ he was forgetting. Manager Choi looked scared for some reason and half-heartedly smiled.
"That’s good. You’re a very capable boy. I will help you out in the future. Now leave the little girl alone and come on the stage when Young Miss calls your name."
Seyeon, seeing the obedient orphan, felt relieved. The corner of his mouth raised up with a proud expression, he thought he got someone with morality issues, a young boy who wanted to be a hero, but in front of power and money, no one is a hero or villain, everyone is a pawn.
"Yes, I will go back now. Oh! Look at her. Do you know what this sign in her language means?"
Suho nodded his head and then walked towards the door. Seeing Mina was trying her best not to open her eyes, he pointed at her and asked the director, who just shook his head in response, he doesn’t know sign language.
"It means she needs to pee right now, if she doesn’t go now, she might soil Young Miss’s public appearance, so let me take her to the washroom and return as quickly as possible."
"Go, go, take her away immediately."
Suho hurried towards Mina’s side when he heard he was allowed to take her away and was about to pick her up, but his hands paused just before touching her, turning around, he smiled at Seyeon.
"What?"
"Sir, I have books to buy, so..."
"Sigh! Greedy! Give him a hundred thousand ₩. Manager Changge." (100,000₩=$70)
Seyeon looked fed up giving away money, but his eyes looked like he had finally grasped Suho in his hand and could do whatever he wanted with him from now on.
Suho took two notes of fifty thousand ₩ from Manager Choi, who reluctantly parted ways with the two crisp yellow notes, and then Suho even took the lunch box specially prepared for him alongside the liter water bottle.
"Manager-nim, I’ll take this to prepare myself for the performance. I will come back with her as soon as possible."
Suho, taking the money, hid it in his pocket immediately, then took the luxurious-looking takeout lunch and big water bottle, picked Mina up, and simply left the room in a hurry.
"This...pathetic boy...took my lunch... No worries, I’ll make a grand scene. I can imagine it, it will be on people’s mouths for at least a week. Can you see it, Manager Chang?"
Seyeon laughed at Suho’s departure, while Manager Choi didn’t look much happier about everything so far, his name was constantly being butchered. This director looks down on him, his last hope was that he was going to get paid at the end of the day, which was making him smile at whatever Seyeon says.
Leaving the room, Suho took Mina directly to the children’s quarter, Mina looked around, surprised she was out of the room, and a delicious smell was following her. She wanted to ask so many questions, but Suho was hurrying deeper inside the orphanage so she held back her curiosity.
"Here, off you go, eat this food, drink water, and sleep, alright?"
Suho dropped her off just outside her room, which she shares with other girls similar in age. Mina nodded her head cutely, the silver lunchbox felt heavy when Suho gave it to her, and Suho had to roll the bottle inside the room as he was in a hurry.
{Okay, take care.}
" haha, I will "
Suho kissed her on the forehead, and then after seeing she went inside safely, he looked at the camera that was watching him. He can’t control everything, otherwise, he would destroy these cameras.
Time to check out what the fuck that was.
He didn’t waste time going somewhere else, he pretended he was waiting for Mina to come out as the camera rotated towards him as soon as she went inside.
System?

Suho, seeing the panel appearing instantly, smiled and, picking his nose, ran to the nearby washroom, then pressed the [Get Reward] button, which was blinking at him from time to time.
A silver pendrive appeared on his hand, then a small book named [Universal Grocery Discount] followed by a sensation in his head, a bunch of unknown memories entered his mind about how to fight with a plain rod or stick.
This? It’s magical... I can fight four people simultaneously, if not more. I have to check that out later. First, I have to check this pendrive. If the content is good, I will need a scapegoat to take the blame.
Suho smiled, pocketed the book behind his back, and ran outside. He looked desperate, as if looking for a lost child, in his mind, his new target was the admin room, where he could check on the pendrive’s content.
He ran like a madman. Suho knows his pretense won’t last long, he has a plan in mind, and execution of that plan needs to be fast, otherwise, everything will be worthless.
"Admin Yejun? Thank god I found you here. Manager Choi was asking about you."
Entering the admin room, he saw the bald admin playing League of Legends as usual. Suho made a desperate face, as if the manager was really asking for the admin immediately.
"He is? I wonder why "
Picking his nose, Yejun didn’t even look up while he continued to press the mouse rapidly. Suho expected this lazy attitude from him, so he closed the distance and went closer to the admin.
"He’s with a big shot called Director Seyeon, and both of them were talking about you, so if I were you, I would hurry up."
Suho said in a deep whispering voice, making the admin get up immediately. He looked at Suho with horror in his eyes and, without saying anything, left the room running while tightening his belt.
"I never said they called you, though? Oh well, you’re gone anyway."
FACE THE WIND
Suho sat on the chair and saw 0/11/0 Yasuo being idle on the map. Shaking his head, he minimized the game and entered the pendrive. It booted almost instantly like magic, and it was on autoplay.
[This device is non-hackable, pressing the button below means every time this pendrive is plugged in, random videos of Director Seyeon’s misdeeds will be shown directly in full volume.]
[Press here to use this computer as the source and upload on the internet.]
Suho pressed it immediately, the whole screen flashed white for a second, then a loading screen appeared. If he were not in a hurry to save Mina, he would’ve planned more meticulously, but this will do for now.
[Successfully Uploaded on the Internet...]
[Autoplaying...]
" AHHH! AHHH! "
Suho immediately closed the video. He can’t believe his eyes or ears, his mouth opened like a ’0’ with shock. Taking the nearby water bottle, he splashed it on his eyes. The thing he saw was just that disgusting, horrible, manly moans filled the room instantly, which was nauseating.
So this director is secretly gay, but what’s the misdeed here that would frame him?
