That’s one of the few Korean proverbs she knows.

There is a saying that it takes three years for a Seodang to recite Pungwol.

As she said, this was her first time playing the lead role on the main stage, but since she had the experience of chasing after and supporting numerous seniors before, it was not difficult for her to be noticed.

The target, that is, Su-hyeon, is secretly reluctant to let her go.

First of all, if you were to consider whether it was a good or bad thing, it was definitely not a good thing.

If it had been unpleasant, we wouldn’t have sat face to face like this in the first place.

‘That’s a good thing among misfortunes…’

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t feel like he has a crush on me…

Should I say that the feeling of ‘vigilance’ is very clear in the way I treat her?

The important thing here is how it happened.

As expected… was the problem with the disguised identity given from above?

Or… are you the type who prefers native people as dating partners and doesn’t particularly prefer foreigners?

Or else… I don’t like the looks…

‘Honestly, I don’t think my appearance is worthy of being popular…’

You never know.

The target may have unique tastes.

There was a time when I thought that way and tried to move on.

I realized that wasn’t the case after looking at the looks of the women around the target, like ‘Oh Ra-hee’, ‘Seong-ari’, and the newly added ‘Han Ju-yeon’.

Those three… were beautiful women that anyone could recognize, to the point that even she, who had never been daunted by her looks or body, hesitated slightly.

Should we say that they are people with such beauty that they can easily overcome racial barriers?

And looking at those three by his side… it doesn’t seem like his tastes are unusual, but why is he only showing caution towards her?

The moment my thoughts reached that point, no more, no less, I had no choice but to admit it.

That he was secretly viewing this mission, or more precisely, Su-hyeon, who was designated as the target, with ease.

‘I thought it was an easy win after reading the report that women had a considerable amount of power…’

I never thought a mission that I thought would be easy to complete would turn out this way.

Where did it really go wrong?

I felt that way all the time because reality was going differently from what I expected, but I didn’t have any intention of just hanging on to that.

Whatever the reason why things went wrong, she had no intention of stopping here, and in order to do so, she had to somehow successfully complete this mission.

So… we need to change our attitude.

The moment I made that promise, what suddenly came to mind was the image of my seniors who freely changed the ‘concept’ assigned to them on the spot when the situation got a little twisted.

‘First of all… the concept of international students must be maintained.’

It can’t be said that it was a simple concept, because it was very closely related to the social status she was supposed to use in Korea.

Even now that I think about it, it seems like a very old-fashioned concept… but what can we do when this is the reality right now?

All you have to do is lay that as a base and build new things on top of it.

It’s like making tiramisu.

So… what should I build more on?

The moment she started to think about it, what started playing in her mind was the advice given to her by a ‘senior’ who achieved tremendous results as a field agent and eventually earned the position of team leader as a woman.

-Listen carefully, Amelia. Men… are fascinated by deviance and secret relationships.

At the same time, the senior said that depending on how you deal with the sense of immorality that develops from there, it is possible to completely take control of the other person and control them.

Deviation… and secret relationship…

Come to think of it, she once dreamed of something like that.

It’s literally a story from when I was immature, but since it’s come to this, why not try taking advantage of it?

What if she didn’t force the concept, like mixing a hundred truths with just one lie, but brought out what she once felt and dreamed of…?

The moment her thoughts reached that point, she suddenly became a young woman who was unable to withstand the pressure of her extremely strict family and chose to ‘study abroad’ as a means of escape.

And the role here has changed?

Of course, the role given to Soo-hyeon, the opponent, also needs to be arranged accordingly.

Actually, that was it.

“How about me?”

That’s why he asked that question with a subtle expression and voice toward Su-hyeon, who was embarrassed by her surprise attack.

And… I guess I didn’t expect to hear something like that at a meal that I had attended without much thought.

Su-hyeon, who had a dumb expression on her face as if asking when she had been wary of this area, twitched her eyes.

Could it be that he was so embarrassed that the part of his brain that processes language stopped functioning?

On this side, it was a positive sign.

That’s because the more embarrassed the other person is, the more gaps she can dig into.

“Are foreigners a good choice for cheating partners? Still, I think it’s not that bad for me.”

“Oh, no… uh… that’s not it…”

There was something cute about the way he had a masculine-looking face and was jerking around like a broken doll.

Well… even if I were in his position, I would have had no choice but to act that way.

To be honest, this has no choice but to be like that, isn’t it the same as being told to ‘have an affair with me’?

It’s not even a confession, it’s just having an affair with him.

What woman in the world would seduce a man like this?

“Actually… it’s been my dream to have a boyfriend for a long time.”

“Uh, um…”

“Well, my family was so strict that I couldn’t even dream when I was in America.”

It wasn’t like I was making up words that didn’t exist.

In fact, her family was a very devout Puritan family, so she couldn’t even look at the shadow of a man throughout her school days.

To begin with, except for college, I only went to all-girls’ schools, so it may be natural.

“It’s been 3 years since I became an adult, so do you think it makes sense to ask you to come home by 6 o’clock?”

“The family customs are definitely a bit strict.”

“Family customs…?”

“Ah, I’m talking about the atmosphere at home.”

“Aha.”

After shaking his head for a moment to show that he understood, he asked Suhyeon again.

“So what is the answer? I don’t think I’ve heard an answer yet.”

“Hmm… If you need a boyfriend, wouldn’t you be able to find one around you? Honestly, I don’t think it’s that difficult.”

Of course it is.

The words welled up in my throat, but instead of saying them out loud, I darkened my expression and sighed.

“Of course I tried to do that. I tried…”

“I did it?”

“There was no one that caught my eye.”

“Ah, um.”

“It may seem easy because I am a foreigner, but they are all just people trying to do something to me. What is this…a level that even my heart can run away from?”

“As a fellow Korean, I’m a bit… sorry.”

“What? It’s not even your fault.”

He waved his hand once to tell me not to do that and continued talking.

“Anyway… As I avoid those people, the only people left are relatively serious people… Now that I think about it, it seems impossible to date those people, right?”

“Why?”

“That’s right… I’m planning on returning to the US in a few months, right? In fact, it’s a plan to break up, but it’s a bit difficult to date someone seriously in that situation…”

So, what are you telling me to do?

The other person gave me a look that seemed to say just that, but I paid no attention and placed an iron plate over my face.

“So I had a lot of worries… but then I happened to see Suhyeon.”

“What on earth does that have to do with me?”

“The moment I saw Suhyun, it was like a light bulb turned on in my head. Ah, if it were that guy, I could achieve what I’ve wanted for a long time without worrying about anything later!”

“Is this the result?”

“Yes.”

Was there nothing else to say?

With a sigh, Suhyun rubbed her forehead with her finger.

“Honestly, isn’t this a good offer for Su-hyeon? I think so.”

“Where on earth are you looking?”

“Well… Soohyun likes women, right? That’s a lot too.”

“···.”

“At that level, I still think he’s not a bad partner… don’t you think?”

The depth of the furrow between Suhyun’s eyebrows became deeper.

Either that or not, he continued.

“Is this a threat?”

“It’s a threat. I told you. It’s called a ‘suggestion’. That too… a ‘win-win proposition’ for both parties. However…”

“Just?”

” After researching for the past few days, I found out that Korean universities have a very good culture called Daejabo?”

“···You have a knack for making your suggestions sound like threats.”

“I’ll take it as a compliment.”

Are you worried about the furrow between your eyebrows?

Suhyun rubbed that part with her finger for a moment, then sighed deeply.

“Let’s try something… Wind.”
