First, I moved Ji-hoo and headed to a nearby park.

What am I going to do as a man? What serious conversation am I going to have? Why are you making me anxious by bringing me here?

Being caught in this situation, I don’t know what to do.

The person Ji-hoo mentioned as a friend asked with a serious expression if it was okay to smoke.

“Y-yes… you can.”

Since he didn’t say anything about the answer, I just said it was okay to smoke.

Ji-hoo’s acquaintance started smoking.

I don’t understand why he’s acting like this to say something.

In such a scary situation, I don’t know what to say.

In the silence, I don’t know what to say.

What if I suddenly tell Ji-hoo to break up?

Just a moment ago, I was scared, but now I’m starting to worry.

While harboring those worries,

“Our Ji-hoo… is quite foolish.”

Saying that, I called Ji-hoo foolish.

Although he is indeed foolish, it might hurt the foolish one to be called foolish by our foolish one.

While cursing Ji-hoo in my mind,

“Our Ji-hoo is quite foolish, please take care of him.”

“He dated Ae Sung-ah and must have had a hard time, always getting drunk and cursing his ex-girlfriend.”

Saying that, I asked for Ji-hoo to be taken care of.

Looking at Ji-hoo sleeping quietly, I knew he had suffered because of that woman.

After hearing what Jae-sung said, Ji-hoo seemed even more pitiful.

So, I offered to help move Ji-hoo.

I hailed a taxi, sent Ji-hoo home, and said, “Tell Ji-hoo we should meet again next time.”

Asking them to pass on the message to Ji-hoo, I took the taxi back home.

Back at home, I laid Ji-hoo on the bed.

Looking at Ji-hoo lying on the bed, I gently tapped his forehead.

“Ouch…”

Ji-hoo winced, touched his forehead, and rolled over to lie on his side.

Do you know how I feel right now?

It would have been nice if you had told me about your struggles so far and any current difficulties.

That damn good boyfriend should just treat me well.

Because I’ve become a woman now, and I’m your girlfriend.

Just be a good girlfriend to me.

With that thought, I lay down beside Ji-hoo and started to fall asleep together.

**

I woke up from sleep.

I clearly remember meeting Jae-sung last night and having a drink.

After the last shot, feeling a bit tired, I lay down to sleep.

Ji-won was also sleeping next to me.

I don’t know why she’s sleeping here.

Since she’s sleeping, I decided to wake her up, but…

“Ugh… Let’s sleep a little longer for 10 more minutes.”

Thinking about hitting her once honestly crossed my mind, but if I’m at home now, it’d be difficult to drag her all the way home.

Let’s let her sleep a bit more today.

So, I covered Ji-won with a blanket and decided to go outside.

“Ugh… Hangover… damn it.”

I came out of the house and bought a hangover remedy at a convenience store nearby.

Today is a day off, so I survived, but let’s drink according to the schedule from now on.

After taking the hangover remedy, I went outside the convenience store.

The weather is really nice.

It wouldn’t be bad to go out for a while, so I decided to take a walk today.

Enjoying the scenery and looking around,

the hangover seems to have improved slightly.

Continuing to look around, when I was about to return home after a leisurely stroll,

I felt a dull sensation under my foot.

What could it be? I thought and looked down.

There, an old man was holding my hand, pleading for help.

“P-please… save me!!”

Surprised to see the old man, I asked, “What’s wrong?”

I’ve seen this kind of situation a lot in movies.

Is someone chasing him?

Or did he get attacked?

In a flustered state, I was considering calling the police or an ambulance.

Shiver—

“I’m hungry.”

“…. Want to go to the nearby Silver Town?”

As I made the call, my hand began searching for a nearby nursing home.

**

Having eaten cup ramen and triangular kimbap from the convenience store, the old man thanked me.

“Oh no, I’m glad you’re feeling better.”

Seeing the old man almost collapsing, I confirmed his well-being and prepared to leave.

“I may not have money, but I can give you this.”

Saying so, the old man offered me a small gift and handed me a small pill.

After giving me a blue pill and thanking me, he was about to leave.

“Sir… selling medication without authorization is illegal…”

Before I could finish, the old man quickly left.

What is wrong with people?

Watching the old man, I returned home with the pill in hand.

Upon returning home, I looked at Ji-won who was awake.

“Where did you go?”

Ji-won asked me where I had been.

I simply said I went to the convenience store and back.

I also mentioned the incident with the old man.

And I told him about receiving the blue pill.

In response, Ji-won said he had a similar experience.

“The old man said he was hungry, so I gave him my only food, cup ramen. In return, he gave me a pink pill as a gift.”

“If you take this, you can earn a lot of money.”

“So? Did you happily eat it right away?”

“Old people usually don’t lie.”

I’m not sure if that’s true, but I think I just figured out why Ji-won transformed.

“Hey, you idiot! Why would you happily take that?!”

“What can I do? If it can make me rich, even if it’s suspicious, I have to take it! I’ve been through a lot!!”

Upon hearing my words, Ji-won started getting angry.

What should I do with this idiot…

While sighing, I suddenly thought, if Ji-won turned into a woman after taking the pink pill,

If I were to take this blue pill I received, would Ji-won return to normal? That’s what I thought.

If I give this again… there might be a chance of turning back into a man.

“Hey.. Kim Ji-won.”

“Yeah?”

I quietly called Ji-won.

“If you could turn back into a man by taking it again, would you go back?”

After pondering my words for a moment, Ji-won said, “Since I haven’t earned money yet, I’ll live as a woman a little longer and then go back.”

With that said, Ji-won expressed that he didn’t want to go back yet.

Since Ji-won said so… it’s probably best not to use this pill yet.

So I decided to put the pill back in its case and keep it.

How exactly should I store this pill…?

**

After a while, an incident occurred. Ji-won sat in front of the computer playing games.

With nothing to do, I played mobile games on the bed, waiting for time to pass.

“Hey. But I’m curious about something.”

“Yeah? What is it?”

“When I was drunk, what happened between me and Jaesung?”

At my words, Ji-won looked at me in surprise, and soon his face began to turn red.

“What? What are you talking about?”

Something happened between us when I wasn’t around?

I couldn’t figure out what had happened, so I didn’t know what to say.

When I asked what had happened, Ji-won acted as if nothing had happened.

Rather, by getting angry like that, it only made me more curious!

I really wanted to ask what had happened, but Ji-won remained silent, playing the game quietly as if he couldn’t speak.

I couldn’t force the question.

For now, I decided to wait until he was ready to talk.

After playing games for a while, Ji-won suddenly exploded in anger.

“Argh! This damn shitty game is pissing me off!”

“They say that game is a disease game.”

“All games are diseases. That’s how I see it.”

With a fiery expression, Jiwon faced off in a keyboard battle with determination.

“I can’t do this… I need to receive some proper education.”

Jiwon steeled herself and began changing her clothes.

“Hey… where are you going all of a sudden?”

Taken aback by Jiwon’s abrupt reaction, Ae asked, “Why are you acting like this? Where are you going?”

“I’m going to settle a score. That bastard lives nearby.”

Intent on receiving proper education, she started changing her clothes.

No way. It seemed like she was about to face some serious trouble.

Thinking so, seeing Jiwon rise from her seat, all that filled me was an uneasy feeling.

Hence, I decided to follow Jiwon for the time being.

**

Following Jiwon, we arrived at a PC room near her house.

Confidently, Jiwon walked into the PC room.

“I’ll just find one person and leave.”

She coolly entered the PC room.

With each glance around, my unease grew even more.

Before she caused any trouble, I even considered swiftly sending her back home.

“Hey, I found him.”

Upon Jiwon’s announcement, I moved forward as she did.

And when we turned the chairs…

“Hey, you’re Pink Diamond!”

Jiwon called out the opponent’s name confidently.

The person who turned around was none other than…

“…Jammin.”

It was none other than Jammin.

“…Are you going to fight Jammin?”

I asked Jiwon if she was going to fight Jammin.

In a state of confusion, Jiwon looked at the person.

“Ar..are you really playing this shitty game!”
