Chapter Index

    “You look like you’re into martial arts, right?”

    “Martial arts… Yes.”

    I nodded.

    Then, Jin-ju, a sports announcer, started talking about her area of expertise.

    Perhaps because he was a sports announcer, he had surprisingly extensive knowledge.

    Even knowledge that I don’t know.

    “So what kind of exercise did you do?”

    “Umm…”

    Actually, I don’t remember ever learning exercise professionally.

    But if we really have to be picky-

    “Kendo…”

    “Wow, it suits you!”

    First of all, I learned the sword technique called Yeongsalgeombeop, so it’s kendo.

    The level of blackness could be determined.

    “…Baseball as a hobby?”

    “Oh~”

    Before I got the sword, I remember hitting villains and zombies in the head with a baseball bat.

    I wouldn’t call it baseball, though.

    “Kendo and baseball, it seems like an unusual combination, but they have something in common.”

    Jinju listened to my story as if it was interesting.

    I wonder if that’s really interesting.

    Or maybe they are managing the image since it is being captured on camera.

    One thing that is certain is that she is a professional when it comes to broadcasting.

    Even while moving, I naturally adjusted the distance and angle and was conscious of the camera.

    Even when he laughed, he secretly smiled towards the camera rather than at me.

    Still, I could definitely feel that he liked sports, regardless of his interest in me.

    ‘Was it arranged like this on purpose?’

    Me, with a body that looks like I enjoy exercising.

    Jinju, a sports announcer, was dropped off at the same place.

    I guess they were expecting this kind of development.

    What they might not have expected was my Chinese skills.

    I never would have thought something like this would happen to me, a non-announcer.

    “This is the bus stop for the resort.”

    I read the Chinese characters calmly.

    “Wow… I think we’ll get there first!”

    “That would be great.”

    Taking an airplane was more tiring than I thought.

    So, if possible, I wanted to stay in a nice room.

    Since it is a super luxurious resort, you might think that any room would be good.

    My expectations were different.

    If you think that everyone who watches entertainment programs simply watches them to see sweet situations, you are very mistaken.

    Rather, there were many viewers who watched to see the conflict.

    My guess is that late arrivals will likely spend the night in a room that is not even close to what you would expect from a luxury resort.

    So it will show the partners arguing about who is late.

    There must be a reason why rooms are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

    “Hey! It’s a bus!”

    “Let’s go.”

    I still had a lot of money left over after paying for the bus.

    It seemed like they had taken into account various situations and given a generous amount of money.

    We were the only ones inside the bus.

    Since we rented out the entire resort, it’s only natural that we’d be the only ones on the bus to the resort.

    “Other people don’t ride it.”

    “That’s right.”

    They said there was only one way to get to the resort: this bus, but no matter how many times the bus ran, no one ever got on.

    Before that, the resort began to come into view.

    The resorts that filled the small island were connected by a single bridge.

    At first glance, it seemed like a perfect place for a vacation.

    “Wow!”

    The woman was impressed, and I was a little puzzled by its larger size than I expected.

    ‘Why go to such a big place?’

    There won’t be that many participants.

    Was there really a reason to rent such a large place?

    I felt like there was some secret hidden there.

    The bus crossed a bridge and kindly took us to the front entrance of the resort.

    The two of us got off the bus and blankly looked up at the resort.

    “D, should I go in?”

    Jin-ju spoke while secretly observing the cameraman’s expression, but the cameraman just kept his mouth shut and continued to film diligently.

    I guess he’s telling me to do it myself.

    The quiet resort felt a bit creepy, so I hesitated to enter.

    The fact that all the lights were off also played a part.

    Jinju gulped at the sight.

    I could hear him swallowing nervously from here.

    This was when I gained courage.

    “Let’s go in.”

    “Huh? Okay, just a moment.”

    As I walked ahead, Jinju quickly followed me and held on to my clothes.

    This wasn’t acting.

    Because he hid so close behind me that he couldn’t even be seen on camera.

    Because the cameraman in charge of Jinju was moving around with an awkward expression trying to capture her face.

    It was the moment I entered the lobby.

    Knock, knock, knock!

    “Ugh!”

    The lights inside the resort came on one by one, making an electric crackling sound.

    Then, a splendid lobby worthy of the description of ultra-luxury was revealed.

    “Wow!”

    “Oh…”

    Exclamations burst out of Jinju’s mouth and mine at the same time.

    I have been to various luxury hotels, but this one was one of the most luxurious.

    Above all, it felt strange that there was no one in this large lobby.

    The squeak, squeak of the lobby speakers could be heard, and then a voice came out.

    [Congratulations on your first arrival.]

    [Take a look around the rooms and choose the one you want.]

    [There is room number 1 on each floor.]

    “Come on, let’s go!”

    “Huh? Oh, yes.”

    Jinju naturally grabbed my arm.

    He was trembling just a moment ago, but now he was acting excited again.

    The mood change is really quick.

    Or maybe he’s embarrassed about being scared before, so he’s trying to act more cheerful.

    I took the elevator and leisurely toured the floors one by one.

    As expected, there were various rooms.

    “Here…”

    “It’s ordinary.”

    Of course, most of them were ordinary rooms.

    The only changes were in size and structure, but as you went up the floors, more luxurious rooms appeared.

    And the long-awaited 5th floor room.

    ” and this is…”

    The last room was amazing.

    There really needs to be a room like this.

    It was different from the start, just in its size.

    First of all, there was a swimming pool on the second floor, in a place like a balcony.

    It was completely spacious and comfortable from the kitchen to the bathroom, and even the refrigerator was fully stocked with drinks.

    With certain brands of drinks.

    Is this an advertisement?

    “Wow! Just my favorite drinksㅡ”

    As expected, an announcer.

    He participated in the advertisement naturally and professionally.

    But there was just one thing that caught my eye.

    “…What’s that tent next to the pool?”

    It was a place that didn’t fit with the tent at all.

    And upon closer inspection, I saw that the tent had ‘Tent 501’ written on it.

    “No way… That too…”

    “Does that sound right?”

    This was also a room.

    tent.

    The swimming pool in the super luxurious room.

    The tent right next to it is the last room.

    At this rate, it was becoming obvious that I had to choose this nice room.

    If you feel envious eyes looking through the window.

    I felt like I was going to die from the burden.

    But that tent also had its advantages.

    Even if you sleep there, the four of you can enjoy this luxurious place together and chat until then.

    Conversely, the people in this luxurious room will be uncomfortable.

    Because it always feels like there’s an intruder in your territory.

    “Wouldn’t that moderately spacious 4th floor room be nice?”

    “That’s right.”

    We chose a room.

    A spacious room.

    Two beds, a living room and a kitchenette.

    Above all, no uninvited guests.

    We decided on a room and organized the contents of our suitcases into the room.

    “No one is coming.”

    “That’s right.”

    We barely talked while we were unpacking.

    Rather, when we first met, it was good to have a conversation by exchanging formal questions, but we ended up using conversation topics for about an hour or two while moving.

    Even that formal question was dropped, leaving nothing left to talk about.

    So, I ended up unpacking my luggage a little more diligently.

    …Hannah put some snacks in her bag.

    Thanks to the silence, I could hear the sounds coming from the hallway.

    ‘Are the other couples coming?’

    ‘Yes, they come all at once.’

    ‘When you come in, prepare the narration and film what’s being said in the situation room…’

    As soon as I heard that sound, I said to Jinju.

    “I think it’s coming soon.”

    “Huh? …Oh, really…”

    Jinju, who was looking out the window, listened to what I said, looked closely, and then made a sound.

    I also walked towards the window and looked down at them.

    The bus stopped, and eight men and women got off the bus.

    “Huh? Running!”

    As Jinju said, some of them started running.

    I started running hard.

    Because the rooms are first come, first served.

    Some of the women stayed still, perhaps because they didn’t want to run, but the men started running quickly to impress their partners.

    And at the forefront of it all is.

    It was a woman who was a dancer I saw at the airport.

    “Oh…”

    Looking at it, I think I know why it’s so popular.

    Even though she was a woman, she ran towards the men and was clever.

    It must be thanks to his tall stature and the strength he gained from his job as a dancer.

    “Wow, awesome…”

    Jinju was surprised in another sense as well.

    “Did you see that?! There’s Jessica and Taesung who were running just now…!”

    “Ahaha… I saw it.”

    I saw it.

    I don’t know who you are talking about.

    First of all, I know that I fell into the category of famous handsome men and beautiful women.

    They were all pretty and handsome.

    [Congratulations on your second arrival.]

    [Take a look around the rooms and choose the one you want.]

    An announcement was made to other people entering the hotel, and the sound of them moving around could be heard.

    And then, our visit was also opened.

    A woman breathing heavily was looking at us.

    It was the woman who had been ahead of us earlier.

    “Oh, hello?”

    While Jin-ju awkwardly greeted me, the woman and I exchanged glances.

    “…You were at that… airport.”

    “…Ah.”

    The woman remembered me at the airport.

    Given my size, it was something I could remember.

    Somehow, just reading the lines, it felt like a scene from Love Comedian.

    “Huh?”

    In the strange atmosphere between the two of us, Jinju looked at us from one to the other.
