episode_0037

Saturday morning.

Seol Joo-hee’s house.

After the results of Lim A-rin’s mental interference test, which had been postponed due to schedule, came out, the three people from Queens, who had gathered together for the first time in a long time, were having a serious conversation.

“So, what do we do now?”

“… … .”

“After something like this happened, I can’t just sit still.”

In response to Hong Yu-ra’s opinion, Seol Joo-hee, who was sipping whiskey alone, spoke softly.

“I have to catch it. Somehow.”

Her voice filled with calm anger.

Seol Joo-hee still hated Do Ji-hyuk.

I knew that it was a created emotion, but it was an emotion that I could not control, like a gushing waterfall, so I silently accepted it in order to calm my mind.

“Then… , What about Do Ji-hyuk?”

The same goes for Hong Yura.

Although she could not erase her resentment toward Do Ji-hyuk, she recognized that it was a created emotion and was manipulating her emotions as much as possible.

“… From inspection. It’s not too late to look at that first and think about it.”

The ‘test’ mentioned by Seol Joo-hee refers to a purity check kit… .

“Joohee… . I still don’t trust Jihyuk… ?”

Lim A-rin was very dissatisfied with Seol Joo-hee’s attitude.

“It’s all revealed… ! That video, the strange behavior we see, it’s all fake… !”

She rarely raised her voice slightly and expressed Do Ji-hyuk’s unfairness to Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee.

“But if you ask me to understand now, how unfair would Jihyuk be… !”

“Arina. But… .”

“… Arin Lim. Is it okay for you to be the slut that Do Ji-hyuk goes around to random women?”

“What… ?”

“Sol Joo-hee! Your words are too harsh!”

Seol Joo-hee, who was suddenly boiling over for a moment, came to her senses at Hong Yu-ra’s attention and took a deep breath. She managed to calm down her emotions and handed an apology to Im A-rin.

“… Still, my thoughts are the same. If Do Ji-hyuk is not pure… , It’s like betraying us.”

For the three of them, Do Ji-hyuk’s purity was an important issue.

That’s why the three of them promised to spend the first night together, and Hong Yu-ra couldn’t object to Seol Joo-hee… .

“If you betrayed me… ?”

Lim A-rin, who had already decided to risk everything, was different.

“Jihyuk… . If Jihyuk is really dirty… . Are you no longer Jihyuk?”

She argued that we should focus not on purity, but on the essence of ‘love’ itself.

“Why did we like Jihyuk… ! Have you forgotten everything? !”

but.

Hong Yu-ra countered that they should take into account that they were in an abnormal state.

“Arin… . We are not in a normal state right now. Until the hint stuck in my head disappears or it is revealed that Do Ji-hyuk is pure… . We can’t love like before.”

It is not logically wrong.

Since negative emotions arise due to a sense of betrayal in the first place, the feeling cannot be returned unless the ‘suspicion’ itself, which is the source of the sense of betrayal, is erased.

however… .

“… Then I… ?”

Lim A-rin was the only logic that could be refuted.

She also suffered the same insinuations, but overcame them with ‘intense love.’

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Ju-hee, who witnessed the test results with their own eyes, had no choice but to keep their mouths shut at Lim A-rin’s rebuttal.

“… anyway. Let’s start by investigating who did this to us. Think about that kit… Everyone got it, right?”

Hong Yu-ra quickly changed the topic to calm the chaotic atmosphere.

“Yes… .”

“… Okay.”

Lim A-rin and Seol Ju-hee calmed down their excitement and quietly followed along.

On the outside, it certainly seemed like everything had been taken care of as usual… .

Between the three, an invisible rift began to appear.

*

A large shopping mall in Seoul.

“Producer!”

“You came early?”

I arrived a little ahead of time and joined Hanna Bang, who had arrived one step earlier.

She had her usually loose blonde hair neatly braided and was wearing a green dress with the shoulders exposed… .

Thanks to the tight waist line, the emphasized chest and slightly exposed collarbone gave a strangely sensational feel.

‘It really doesn’t make sense.’

I was unconsciously looking at her overwhelming breasts that attracted all the attention around her, but then I came to my senses and lightly complimented her.

“You dressed up nicely today.”

“Is that so… ?”

She smiled as if she was embarrassed and gently placed her hand on her chest.

I was briefly mesmerized by her tolerance, which made me feel like I could lay a few more hands on her, and went up to the movie theater with her, expecting it to be a difficult day.

“Hannah. Would you like some popcorn or snacks? I will live.”

“Oh. It’s okay… .”

“You bought the ticket. I should buy this much.”

“Producer, is there anything else you would like to eat? ?”

“I don’t really want to eat anything. Just eat it if you have it, or don’t?”

“Hmm… .”

Hannah Bang looked at the menu at the snack bar as if lost in thought for a moment… .

“I think just having something to drink will be enough… !”

I quickly replied that a drink would be enough.

So we bought two glasses of cola.

“ character. It’s yours.”

“Thank you… ! I’ll drink it well… !”

I entered the theater right at the right time… .

‘… ‘Why have all the couples from all over the country gathered together?’

Perhaps because it was an 19+ movie on a weekend afternoon, it was strangely full of couples.

“D… F… . ah. It’s inside!”

Our location is right in the center of the movie theater.

It was natural, but it was a place surrounded by couples flirting in all directions.

“Producer, are you nervous…? ?”

“Huh?”

“I thought you were really nervous.”

“No, just something… .”

“Don’t worry… ! I really like this kind of thing, so if you’re scared, just hold my hand… !”

Hannah Bang made a triumphant expression and tapped the armrest.

I guess he thought I was afraid of horror movies.

“… Okay, I’ll just trust you.”

While we were having a trivial conversation, an advertisement continued,

Hwaaagh

Before we knew it, the light had turned off in darkness.

“What should I do, I’m scared… !”

“Hold my hand.”

“Woong… !”

The movie started with the whispers of a nearby couple, as if they had been waiting.

Qarring… … !

The movie I decided to watch today is a thriller that is close to a horror movie.

The story unfolds when the main character, who was dating the female singer in charge, recruits the female lead as a trainee.

As it turned out, the female protagonist was a psychopath who did not hesitate to kill and was a very obsessed person, and thanks to this, the main character was constantly in danger of his life.

For sure… .

I knew that.

[Wake up! ]

[ … Hug me and lift me up. ]

[ … Hayeonah. You know we shouldn’t do this. ]

[ … … . ]

[ ha… . Is it really the last time? ]

The movie started with a love scene from the first scene.

[Page… . Squeeze… . Hehe… . Chureup… . ]

The two men and women on the screen are groping their bodies without hesitation, mixing their tongues stickily.

The movie theater was filled with strange noises,

‘No, it’s a thriller… !’

I was conscious of Bang Hanna sitting next to me, and secretly prayed that the love scene would pass quickly.

[Superin oppa. Who is this? ]

[Oh, hello. My name is Lee Ji-yeon, who is new here. ]

[ nice to see you. This is Jiyeon Lee. ]

Fortunately, after the first intense love scene, there were no erotic scenes.

From the moment the female protagonist appeared, it started to progress towards something closer to a horror movie… .

Kwasik──! Kwasik──!

[ Kwaaa…? … ! ]

“… Hehe… !”

The problem is that Bang Han-na was actually very vulnerable to horror movies, to the point where she shivered.

‘what? ‘Do you like horror movies?’

“Hipp… !”

She turned away from the screen with her eyes completely covered, and

I couldn’t finish watching, so I reached out my hand and carefully held her hand.

Come on…

Then she flinched sharply, carefully turned her head and made eye contact… .

Her eyes were sparkling, and it seemed like she had shed tears.

“(Shall we go out?)”

I pointed to the outside of the movie theater and asked Hanna Bang a little question about the doctor.

Then Hannah Bang looked at the screen and at me several times, then looked tearful and nodded slightly.

It meant going out.

*

“Are you okay?”

“… yes… .”

Hanna Bang was very depressed after leaving the movie theater.

Because the plan I had prepared went wrong from the beginning.

‘It shouldn’t be like this…’ .’

The movie that Hannah Bang was preparing was Couple Maker, which was known for being highly sensational.

If a man and a woman watch it together, the highlight of the film is the love scene at the end that always leads straight to the motel… .

Unfortunately, I left before the scene even came out, so I felt really bad.

“Ugh… . sorry… . because of me… .”

“That’s possible. You can watch it again later. So don’t be too depressed. Huh?”

Of course, Do Ji-hyuk, who had no way of knowing that fact, comforted Bang Han-na and told her that they should have dinner a little early to cheer her up.

“Oh, that’s right. He said there was a place he wanted to go nearby. There might be a lot of people if you go late, so should we go a little early?”

“Dinner… ?”

“Yes. Actually, I was a little hungry too. Where should I go there?”

Bang Hanna quickly recovered after receiving comfort from Do Ji-hyuk, who had been her prey.

‘Yes, Bang Han-na. There’s still a chance… !’

With Do Ji-hyuk in tow, we headed to a restaurant located in a food alley near a shopping mall.

“They say it’s really delicious here… !”

“Isn’t this a bar?”

To be exact, it was a restaurant close to a bar.

“Ma, that’s true, but… . Chi, my friends often come here to eat!”

“… Really?”

The place the two entered was a type of bar with separate partitions and entrances for each table.

“Do you think places like this are trendy these days?”

Do Ji-hyuk looked around without knowing anything and reacted with wonder.

Bang Han-na, who was very nervous on the inside, looked strangely awkward and began to choose the food to order.

however.

“Uh… . Producer! Is there anything you would like to eat… ?”

“Well… . Are you going to drink?”

For some reason, Do Ji-hyuk readily brought up the topic of alcohol.

“… yes? Alcohol?”

“Are you not going to drink it? I thought it was natural to drink since it was a bar… .”

“Oh, no! That’s not it… . that… . I remembered that the producer didn’t eat at the company dinner… .”

Caught off guard, Bang Han-na swallowed her saliva as if expecting something and carefully looked at Do Ji-hyuk… .

“It’s okay. Not all team members are there… . You’ve seen me drunk before.”

Do Ji-hyuk said he was fine and showed a relaxed appearance unlike usual.

“G, really? Is it okay if I drink it?”

“Okay then! Drink as much as you want. Because I will live today.”

“Oh, no! I couldn’t even watch the movie properly because of me… .”

“If you make more money than me, then buy it for me. Now, order whatever you want.”

“… Well, then… .”

Bang Han-na, who swallowed her saliva again at Do Ji-hyuk’s behavior, which was practically begging for her to eat, immediately shook her head and subtly ordered high-alcohol soju and snacks.

Jjaeang─!

“… Well, the first drink is one shot, right?”

“… . Our Hannah has a bit of an old-fashioned side to her. If I have to peel it, I should peel it, right?”

“Oh, no!”

After defeating Do Ji-hyuk, I started to run without hesitation towards the ‘Go to bed first and then socialize’ strategy that my friend had taught me.

and.

Exactly 3 hours later.

“Umm… . Puroduseonyim… !”

“Hannah. Hey, I hope you don’t push it too hard… .”

“No… ! My heart is so heavy that I can’t help it… !”

In the end, Bang Han-na, who was very drunk, was walking down the street being dragged around by Do Ji-hyuk.

‘No, this guy is a drinker who can’t even win…’ .’

Since it was a place prepared for Bang Han-na in the first place, Do Ji-hyuk, who had endured it silently with a low sigh, dragged her to the side of the main road to catch a taxi… .

“… Oh!”

Bang Han-na suddenly stopped, pointed somewhere and confidently made a request.

“Puroduseonim… ! Let’s take a little rest… !”

Where she pointed… .

“… Huh?”

It was a motel.
