···what.

As far as alcohol, I can only drink one can of beer.

Why do I feel like I’m seeing nothing…?

It turned out that the beer was about 40 percent alcohol…?

I was literally startled by an unexpected sight, and my eyes continued to reboot at will.

No matter how many times I closed and opened my eyes, the sight that was reflected in my eyes did not change at all from the first time.

No… why is Jooyeon Han sitting in front of me right now?

As I was feeling this question inside, Juyeon, who had taken up the empty seat so naturally, as if he had been sitting there from the beginning, smiled at me and opened his mouth.

“He didn’t answer the phone, so I was looking around to see if something had happened, but I didn’t expect him to be having a drink during the day in a place like this.”

A voice that is no different from usual.

That’s why the more eerie voice subtly tightened my throat.

“Oh, what, did you call? I tend to keep it in manner mode during lectures, so I didn’t know there was a phone call.”

“Hmm… Really? You didn’t ignore it on purpose?”

“Hey, why would I do that?”

Tell me what to do.

I didn’t even hold his hand, but anyway, since the day we went into the motel together, I’ve been secretly avoiding Juyeon.

It wasn’t that I felt burdened by Juyeon after sleeping.

So rather than saying it was like that, I should say it was my own push and pull.

From my perspective, it was worth acting like that. To be honest, it’s hard to say that my relationship with Rahee and Ari were normal, but isn’t my relationship with Juyeon so twisted that it can’t be compared to those two?

In layman terms, there is a girl, and her boyfriend and best friend see eye to eye and end up having an affair.

Of course, if I go to Rahee and ask her if she’s best friends, there’s a 99.9% chance that she’ll ask me why I’m best friends with her, but on the surface, it seems that way.

If we were to compare it to food… it could be said to be a very stimulating food.

And stimulation naturally gets boring quickly.

As someone who knows these facts better than anyone else, I couldn’t help but naturally feel the need to adjust the pace.

That’s why I’ve been avoiding it so as not to be noticed… but I never thought I’d show up in person like this.

Even so, only two days have passed.

‘Han Joo-yeon… surprisingly… is she the type with a strong desire to be exclusive…?’

As I was thinking that maybe that was the case, Juyeon’s voice continued.

“Really? I thought you did it because you were afraid that the lies you told me would be revealed.”

“Ehey! There are people listening next to me…”

And what a lie.

When I made him feel energetic, he was surprised to the point where he opened his eyes in a way that didn’t suit him, and he spoke in such a way…

This is really sad.

“Oh, come to think of it, there was a group of people, right? Who?”

That’s right.

If it was Rahee or Ari, it was their first time seeing each other.

The moment my thoughts reached that point, no more, no less, a ray of cold sweat ran down my spine.

‘···!’

That’s right… because I realized it.

Because I suddenly realized it.

It’s not a situation where you can sit calmly like this.

The reason I went along with Amelia’s ‘deviance’ in the first place was largely because she caught me entering a motel with Juyeon.

And if I were to express it another way…

‘···Amelia already knows his face.’

Sure enough, just as the accident was heading in that direction, I cast my gaze towards Amelia, who had been pushed to the side due to Juyeon’s sudden appearance, and what caught my eye was Amelia, who was making a very strange expression, saying, ‘Huh…?’ It was like that.

No matter how I looked at it, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.

The moment I felt nervous like that, Amelia, who had immediately removed that strange expression from her face, smiled brightly and held out her hand towards Juyeon.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Amelia Olsen.”

Just as there is a saying that you can’t spit with a smile on your face, no matter how evil the main character is, couldn’t she just be rude to the person who smiled and shook her hand first?

Juyeon, who seemed to not like the sight of Amelia smiling brightly, lowered the tips of his eyebrows once, smiled as if he had never done that before, and held the hands held out towards him.

“This is Juyeon Han.”

“Uh… Um… Then what should I call you? Main actor? Or one?”

“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

At first glance, it seemed like he was considerate of Amelia, who would not be used to Korean-style addresses as she was a foreigner, but what was behind it was indifference, not consideration.

After all, if we break up today, we won’t have to see each other again, so it’s almost like I’m thinking, what’s the importance of titles like that?

“Then I’ll call you Juyeon. It seems like in Korea, everyone calls others that way.”

“Well, that’s right. By the way…”

“···?”

“For a foreigner, you are very good at Korean, right?”

Words that sound like a compliment.

However, as he said earlier, what was actually contained in it was ‘suspicion’ rather than admiration for the other person.

“When I was in the U.S., my roommate liked watching Korean dramas. As we watched it together, we naturally started speaking.”

“Still, it wouldn’t have been easy to become this proficient with just that, but you’re amazing.”

“Is that so?”

A spark seemed to fly between the two.

Both of them were still smiling, at least that’s how I felt.

Ra-hee said the same thing, but I never thought even Han Ju-yeon would be suspicious of Amelia.

A blonde beauty with a suspiciously beautiful appearance and a max level Korean who suddenly appeared in the Hunter Department, where international students are extremely rare, is naturally a condition that can’t help but seem suspicious, but looking at Amelia’s behavior, such thoughts would be obvious.

First of all, that was what I thought, but I had no intention of getting in between the two.

Even so, it’s obvious that sparks will only fly at me, so is there any reason to do that?

With that in mind, let’s maintain a wait-and-see attitude for now…

“By the way… Juyeon?”

“Tell me.”

“Is Joo-yeon Su-hyeon’s girlfriend?”

Without realizing it, Amelia’s counterattack exploded.

And until then, Juyeon, who had been gradually putting pressure on Amelia using the weapon of suspicion hidden behind a smile, could not have imagined that he would be dealt a counter like that.

Thanks to this, Juyeon’s mouth opened slightly as he fell to the ground without even a single proper resistance.

The sight of her with her mouth slightly open and a blank expression on her face was so uncharacteristic of ‘Han Joo-yeon’ that I felt like I couldn’t help but laugh.

Of course, if I actually laughed, there would never be another disaster like that, so I held back my laughter by clenching my jaw.

“···Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“I’m just curious.”

“What if I say yes? What then?”

At this point, was he planning to call himself his girlfriend and get even a half-hearted apology from the other person?

In that way, Juyeon pushed Amelia roughly… but, like a person who just made threatening comments with a nonchalant expression on her face, Amelia didn’t take it easy either.

“Hmm… That’s strange?”

“Suddenly, what is that…?”

“No, that’s right… I saw it once last time.”

“You saw it?”

“Yes, the person who was said to be Suhyeon’s girlfriend.”

But I guess that wasn’t you?

The gaze that seemed to say that was focused precisely on Juyeon.

“But when Joo-yeon says she’s Su-hyeon’s girlfriend… I’m a little embarrassed.”

“···.”

“Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean I doubt Juyeon’s words. I just… I think the situation is a bit strange…”

Anyway, I don’t think you or I have a relationship where we can go somewhere and proudly talk about it, so why don’t you just shut up about being a girlfriend that doesn’t work?

If Amelia’s remarks really sounded that way, is there something wrong with my brain or ears?

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any errors or problems with my ears or brain.

As proof…

“Ha…?”

As soon as Amelia’s remarks came to an end, a sound full of absurdity came out of Juyeon’s mouth, and soon a vein appeared on her straight and pretty forehead.

How long has it been like that?

Even considering that it was a cold season, the chilly air began to flow around the area, enough to send shivers down my spine.
