When asked if it was the opposite sex, Jiyoon seemed to hesitate for a moment.

‘..No, what on earth am I talking about?’

From Jiyun’s point of view, who was over 30 years old, Dohyeon really had to feel like a child to be right.

In fact, seeing as how I think the 25-year-old Dayeon is also cute, Dohyeon, who is younger than her, should be even more so.

“Yes, reason to reason.”

But contrary to what I thought, my mouth was spitting out words of its own accord.

‘You’re really crazy.’

For some reason, Jiyun was quite embarrassed by this situation where her uncontrolled mind kept flowing out as it pleases.

I have never been so out of control in my life.

“I’m good! Because Dohyun will have more people to talk to!”

Unlike Jiyoon, who was quite nervous, Dayeon was cheerful and bright both before and after saying those words.

“.No, even if you like someone of the opposite sex, how can you say it’s okay?”

Jiyun continued to feel embarrassed by the unusual situation.

As the reaction was completely different from what I expected, all my expectations were dashed, and the resulting embarrassment continued to show on my face.

“It’s not common. Usually, I feel uncomfortable when someone says they like the person I like, don’t they?”

Of course, I understood in my head that this was usually the case, and that there could be people in the world who were not like that.

But understanding and accepting it were probably two different issues.

This was especially true because Jiyoon had no interest in dating until now.

“Well? Wouldn’t it be good if more people like Dohyun? Hmm, it definitely doesn’t feel like a typical thing?”

If you think about it generally, it is a world where one-on-one meeting is natural, so it occurred to me that some people might think Dayayeon was strange.

‘..but now that I think about it, why did I think this was normal?’

At that moment, a question arose.

Although Da-yeon had never been in a relationship, there were things she grew up watching.

What I grew up watching was mostly normal, one-on-one meetings.

Despite this, Da-yeon and Eun-chae meet Do-hyeon together.

As we moved forward, more and more people started to like Do-hyeon and there was no great resistance to meeting him together.

Even now, I just wonder why that is the case, but it’s not that I have any aversion to things that are out of the ordinary or anything like that.

“Um, is Dohyun… an alpha male?”

Dayeon was such an outstanding person that I wondered if it was natural for him to date many women.

“Ugh..?”

However, Dayeon’s conclusion was an answer that only added to Jiyoon’s confusion.

“So, it’s like that when you’re with Dohyeon. Even though he is obviously younger than me, he feels more mature. It’s so comfortable. In the case of Eun-chae, being with Do-hyeon fills her with joy, and even just looking at her makes her feel amazing and cool.”

A man who can satisfy what everyone wants.

Dayeon began to give a long speech, thinking that he was truly an alpha male.

“Honestly, it’s not easy to treat someone like that, right? When things are hard, it’s natural for that to show. But I guess that’s not the case with Dohyun. Oh, of course, if you lean on me, that would be charming and cute in its own way…!”

“.. Doesn’t it just look like Dayeon is completely infatuated with Dohyeon?”

Of course, Jiyoon was saying the same thing, but she was thinking quite similarly to Dayeon.

“No, it’s something different from that. Of course, it’s true that I’m in love with Dohyun.”

He didn’t deny it, but he spoke as if there was something that couldn’t be explained by that alone.

However, he knew very well that this was not a definite answer to many-to-one meetings.

“Anyway, I am like that. If someone likes Dohyun, I think they will feel happy that the number of people who like Dohyun has increased, no matter what their feelings are. Of course, it would be even better if that person was a good person like you!”

As much as I cared about Do-hyeon, it was natural to think that it would be better if the people who liked him were cool and good people.

“I see. Well, thank you. For telling me I’m a good person.”

Jiyoon felt as if she had received some kind of recognition.

“Dohyeon probably likes you because you are definitely a good person. Yeah, I hope you like it too.”

Obviously, not everything has been resolved, and there are still parts that I don’t quite understand, but there is one thing I definitely realized.

Her feelings for Do-hyeon are deeper than she thought.

“I’ll push you hard! Don’t worry!”

“But you also said we’re not dating yet.. Are you okay?”

Of course, she was very grateful, but Jiyoon made a puzzled expression as she thought that if they weren’t dating yet, she should take care of herself first.

“Ah, it’s not a nuance like just take care of yourself..?!”

It was something that could possibly be misunderstood, so I added one more word.

“You know, you know. Don’t worry, don’t misunderstand. Um, and this… can I say this… uh, I don’t know.”

Dayeon looked a little hesitant.

Seeing that, Jiyun did not rush Dayeon until she spoke again and gave her enough time to think about it.

“Umm.”

However, it seems to be a very difficult issue to talk about as it is not easy to bring up.

“If it’s difficult to talk, it’s okay not to say it right away.”

Jiyoon took the initiative to comfort Dayeon.

“Umm, oh no..! Well, I guess it’s okay if I tell you. It seems like you like Dohyun a lot too.”

While talking with Ji-yoon, Da-yeon felt that her feelings were quite deep.

In fact, Dayeon knew very well that if she didn’t truly and deeply like the other person, she would usually put her own feelings first and not worry or consider things related to that person.

As such, I decided that it would be okay to tell Ji-yoon the truth about my relationship with Do-hyeon.

“Well, I’m not dating Dohyun, but we have a similar relationship.”

“What exactly is a similar relationship?”

Jiyoon tilted her head and asked.

Now that I think about it, I remembered again that I had said something along the lines of, ‘We are not dating.’

“So, a sex partner..? It feels like that, but it’s not like they’re just partners! I go on dates and do everything I want to do..!”

Of course, I’ve never been on a solo date before.

Dayeon knew her own position well, so it was inevitable for her to go on a solo date, but she was thinking that if she had the chance, she would definitely want to go on a solo date as well.

“years old, sex partner, partner..you..”

However, Jiyun was quite shocked by the word itself.

In fact, Da-yeon knew very well that that kind of reaction was bound to come out when she first heard it.

I, too, was quite surprised when I first heard this from Eunchae.

“No way Dohyun is saying it would be better for us to only be partners. Me, Eunchae, and Dohyeon took all the circumstances into consideration and talked about doing it that way.”

Dayeon added her explanation in a bit of gibberish, fearing that the word “sex partner” might look at Dohyun in a bad light.

“It was either me or Eunchae who spoke first..!”

Dayeon kept talking gibberish, but Jiyoon heard something else more than that.

“That person named Eun-chae.. is also in a similar relationship with Do-hyeon..?”

I was wondering who the name Eun-chae was, which had been appearing often since before, but she kept being mentioned in Da-yeon’s mouth, probably because she was also in a similar relationship with Do-hyeon.

“Ah, yes..! Right, shall I introduce you? This is my girl, I’ve been friends with her since high school, and, um, she’s a good kid…!”

Dayyeon started to get a little embarrassed, thinking that she had embarrassed Jiyoon even more by saying something wrong to Jiyoon, who was embarrassed about being her sex partner.

“Um, yeah. It would be nice to meet you once. Huh… But first, I’ll organize my thoughts.”

A sex partner.

Of course, if you listen to it, it seems like it’s the same context as saying you’re just a partner, but in the end you’re dating.

Even so, the shock from those words was considerable.

It’s not that I disliked Dohyun, or that those feelings had cooled down, I was just a little dizzy from the shock that came from hearing the word “partner.”

“Sorry, I think I made a mess by saying something strange…”

“No, it would have been more shocking if I had found out later.”

I felt more grateful to Dayeon for telling me clearly from the beginning.

“That’s right, partner.”

I muttered and slowly began to organize my thoughts.

Organizing her thoughts and drawing conclusions was one of the things she was best at.

‘In the end, it’s just words, you’re dating, right? ‘It’s just that dating is a many-to-one thing.’

As I slowly calmed down my startled mind and began to organize my thoughts one by one, I realized that there was nothing strange about it.

‘..But really, what’s there to do other than play? ‘I think I’ve become a bit strange since I accepted polygamy.’

Even though he clearly knew that he was in a similar relationship with Dayeon, from the moment he revealed his feelings, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
