An evening when the sun has set.

When I’m sitting on the couch, holding the gamepad and playing a game.

After finishing work, Hyeyoon took a shower, changed her clothes, and sat down next to me.

Hyeyoon, sitting with her legs crossed, opened her mouth absentmindedly.

“I got a call from Yoo Seol-hee. She said she wanted to take Shin Yeon-rim with her when she went out to play?”

“What?”

I stopped playing the game and looked back at Hye-yoon.

Hyeyoon, who had wiped her hair, lightly threw the towel into the basket over there.

What is Yoo Seol-hee thinking? Why is she taking Yeon-rim there?

As my expression distorted, Hye-yoon lightly hit my shoulder and opened her mouth again with a bright smile.

“I knew you’d make that face. Aren’t you hot?”

“I don’t know what that girl is thinking. Shin Yeon-rim’s father’s medical expenses and hospitalization expenses were all paid by Yoo Seol-hee. What is she thinking?”

“I think I know.”

“Huh?”

Hyeyoon, lying with her head on my lap, moved her well-toned legs back and forth as she spoke.

“There are probably two purposes. Shin Yeon-rim is the person who knows you best after me, so they want to keep her on Yoo Seol-hee’s side as an information line… And…”

“And?”

I expected that too. What other reasons could there be?

“Shin Yeon-rim was your first girlfriend, right? So Yoo Seol-hee must be wondering. She wonders if Shin Yeon-rim can still have some kind of influence on you.”

“Aha. So you’re saying that I’ll be manipulated by Yeonlim after listening to her? Is Yoo Seol-hee trying to control me by using Yeonlim?”

“I’m sure. That girl’s thinking……”

Hyeyoon reached out to the fruit basket on the low table next to the sofa.

Hyeyoon continued, elegantly putting the strawberry in her mouth using only two fingers.

“……You can see it clearly. It’s the palm of Buddha’s hand.”

I’m really sick of it.

Can’t we all live a little more purely? Why are you trying to use people like toys…? I’m sick of it. I’m sick of it.

I turned the game back on and fiddled with the gamepad, saying with certainty:

“I don’t have any feelings for Yeon-rim anymore. Yeon-rim’s father called me and told me to forgive Yeon-rim and take good care of Yeon-rim……. I don’t have any intention of doing that. Shin Yeon-rim is a woman who is incredibly good at protecting herself. If she wants to make a living, she’ll take the line on her own.”

I guess I spoke too cynically.

Hyeyoon whispered while putting a strawberry in my mouth.

“Oh my. You’ve changed a lot too?”

“Huh?”

“At first, you were naively optimistic about humans. Now, have you come to terms with reality a little?”

“I’ve always been like this. It’s even stranger that someone from Saehui Hope Orphanage would be optimistic about the world.”

Pick, Hye-yoon laughed and lay down on my lap again.

“They said they were going to Anais Island. Do you know Anais Island?”

I reacted in surprise to Hye-yoon’s question.

“What? You’re saying you’re going to a beach overseas instead of in Korea??”

“Then. Will Yoo Seol-hee be able to get a full stomach at a cheap domestic beach? She should take a chartered plane and go overseas. I was thinking of refusing… But I think it would be better to go anyway.”

“Why?”

“Anais Island is a resort island that the rich can rent out entirely. Maybe Yoo Seol-hee rented the island? No matter how much money I have, I probably don’t get to play in places like that often, right?”

……As expected, the scale of money spent by conglomerates is different.

Renting the entire island…

Yes. People with money should spend their money appropriately.

I can’t stay cold and jealous of the rich and powerful forever.

I turned off the game and looked out the window.

It’s late summer now. If it gets any later, we might not have time to play in the ocean this year.

“Oh my. Wait a minute. So there are three girls and one guy playing on the island.”

Hyeyoon looked up at me and muttered innocently.

What is it? I guess so when I think about it.

Ugh… Honestly, I feel uncomfortable with women. And Yeonrim is included too.

I think I need to make some same-sex friends.

I asked, feeling embarrassed for no reason.

“What did they call that? The only woman?”

“What kind of only woman is only woman? That’s used in the exact opposite situation.”

Hyeyoon put her finger on my lips and whispered.

“It’s the only one. How’s it? How does it feel to play in the ocean with beauties?”

airplane.

The hot sun was blazing.

Hyeyoon and I got out of the car and took our carriers out of the trunk.

“Did you bring tanning oil?”

Hyeyoon asked, pulling out the handle from her carrier bag.

“Of course I brought it. Seol-hee and Yeon-rim haven’t come yet?”

“Well, I don’t think he’s here yet?”

I stopped in surprise as I packed my carrier bag.

Mafia men in pitch-black suits stand in two rows that appear to be at least fifty meters long.

As Hye-yoon stood in front, the mafias all bowed their heads.

It’s a… extremely overwhelming and bizarre sight.

what’s this?

I held Hye-yoon and whispered softly.

“What are you doing? This is the airport. Don’t you know that everyone else is watching?”

“There’s the mafia. The most important thing is the slut. If you don’t know, just keep quiet.”

Indeed, there are no other people around us.

Alex, who approached from the other side wearing shiny shoes, bowed his head and opened his mouth politely.

“Boss. Come and rest comfortably. I will protect the organization.”

“Okay. If anything urgent comes up, call me right away. Got it?”

“Yes, I will do that.”

Alex turned his gaze to look at me, lowered his head slightly, smiled faintly, and said.

“Your Majesty, please rest comfortably.”

master?

Sigh… Why am I a master?

This is the first time I’ve heard that since I was born. I was neither in a position nor in a situation where I could be called ‘Master’ by anyone.

Is this guy mocking me?

When I frowned, Hye-yoon put on her sunglasses, looked at me, and answered me instead.

“I told the kids in our organization. Don’t be rude when dealing with Woo Sung-won. What do you think?”

“…….I’m not a mafia.”

“Oh my. Who the hell called you a mafia? I just can’t stand seeing our gang members being rude to you.”

Um… is that so? Then I don’t feel so bad…

Somehow, it’s not a bad thing to have tense shoulders… What should I say… No, that’s not it.

You shouldn’t be intoxicated by this level of power. I’m not a mafia. I’m not a mafia.

I quickly shook my head and came to my senses.

Soon, Seol-hee and Yeon-rim appeared from over there.

The two women, wearing short hot pants befitting the hot summer, stopped dead in their tracks as they saw the mafia lined up in two rows.

“Ms. Hye-yoon? Isn’t this too bad taste?”

As expected, Seol-hee opened her mouth angrily.

“What?”

“People who came to the airport are scared. What are you doing? Did you rent this place?”

“That’s because I don’t know when I’ll die. They’re all my bodyguards.”

At Hye-yoon’s clever answer, Yeon-rim looked at the mafias lined up with sparkling eyes.

Does Yeonlim admire the mafia? What’s cool about that?

I thought it wouldn’t work so I spoke up loudly.

“Let’s go quickly. What time is the flight?”

Then Seol-hee answered while pushing her carrier bag forward.

“It’s our group’s charter flight. Just go and get on. Go now.”

Then Seol-hee’s bodyguard quickly ran over and caught the carrier bag rolling towards him.

What the heck is this?

……This girl with a silver spoon in her mouth again……..

In some ways, Bin Hye-yoon and Yoo Seol-hee are the same.

Rude and childish, really.

***

Anais Island.

A small island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, far beyond Hawaii.

It is said that wealthy travelers often visit here because the sea is clean, the scenery is beautiful, and the weather is hot all year round.

These days, I heard that rich people pay money to rent the entire island and spend a few days on vacation… That’s probably why Seol-hee often comes here to play.

It was truly a spectacular view.

The sea was so clean that you could see each and every grain of fine sand, the sky was high, the air was clear, and even the picturesque villas built on the beach were perfect for a vacation spot.

As soon as they arrived at Anais Island, Yeonlim muttered like this.

“I will definitely succeed.”

“Huh?”

When I reacted while unloading luggage from the plane, Yeonlim muttered as if she was entranced by the beautiful scenery.

“I will definitely succeed. I will definitely…….”

Hmm…. For Yeonlim, who lived with a silver spoon in her mouth like me, was this beautiful island itself a shock?

Well, Yeon-rim is experiencing being born with a silver spoon in her mouth for the first time in her life, so she must be shocked.

I guess I’m dreaming. But somehow I understand a little bit.

But I am not shaken by the current situation because I know my subject well.

I can go back to my old life at any time.

For example, if Hye-yoon leaves me, I will go back to being a job seeker living in a studio apartment like before.

I’ve always been prepared for that.

“Do you want to have lunch and go play in the water? Are you hungry?”

Seol-hee put her hand on my shoulder and asked.

“Hmm….. I guess I’ll have to show off my cooking skills again-”

Then Yeonlim quickly cut me off and intervened.

“No. I’ll make lunch. Seol-hee? Are you sleeping in the villa over there?”

“Yes. You can rest assured that no one else will come to the island.”

Yeonlim walked briskly towards the villa with a gait that seemed excited.

Hyeyoon, who was looking at Yeonlim’s back, opened her mouth.

“Shin Yeon-rim seems to be out of her mind. What kind of country elementary school kid looks like when he visits Disneyland for the first time in his life?”

“That’s right.”

Seol-hee answered while looking at Hye-yoon cynically.

“I’ve seen so many people like that… I don’t feel anything.”

“That’s right. People should know their place. It’s a bit sad. Didn’t you bring Shin Yeon-rim here for nothing?”

“Yes?”

“You’re just giving Shin Yeon-rim empty dreams. It’s like giving her a golden spoon experience for nothing?”

Then Seol-hee answered with a slightly bitter smile.

“Hope counseling is more fun.”

Oh my… I’m sick of it. Really.

When I looked at Seol-hee with pitiful eyes, Seol-hee smiled at me and answered.

“I know Mr. Woo Sung-won’s topic well. Don’t worry about it.”

What?

***

The two-story villa was large and spacious.

The interior is also very modern and minimalistic. The building itself is sensational.

The women, already dressed in bikinis, sat at the table.

Oops… The pressure of the gaze is a little…

The sight of three girls my age sitting in bikinis is quite provocative.

Um….. Hyeyoon has the biggest chest size, then Seolhee…….

I hate myself for thinking like this even at moments like this.

I was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and fanning myself with great effort to control myself.

If the lower body reacts again at a moment like this, there is no greater embarrassment than that…… sigh……

Yeonlim cooked spaghetti. Fortunately, the kitchen in the villa was full of cooking ingredients.

Hyeyoon rolled up the spaghetti noodles with a fork and put them in her mouth, and started to cry.

“It’s delicious. Yeonrim-ssi cooked it very well. Spaghetti noodles are a bit tricky to cook at the right time.”

“, thank you.”

Yeonlim lowered her head as if embarrassed.

“I don’t really care. I think it would be better if Seongwon made dinner.”

Seol-hee was unusually ticklish.

Then Yeonlim shrugged her shoulders and I gave Seolhee a look.

Why are you like this when you come to play? Let’s have fun and go. Okay?

However, Seol-hee seemed to dislike something and avoided my gaze.

What the heck? Why is this girl like this again?

Hyeyoon put down her fork, stretched, and said, “Um~~.”

“Well, it’s nice to come to a faraway island to play. There’s no work here, no assassins targeting me, and no annoying fine dust.”

Seol-hee smiled brightly and answered Hye-yoon’s words.

“This is an island that no one can come to. It would take a long time for the killer to come?”

At that moment, Yeonlim lowered her head, blushed, and opened her mouth.

“Thank you, for inviting me to a place like this……”

Then Seol-hee answered proudly.

“No. I called you here because Yeonlim recently played a big role in preventing Hye-yoon’s assassination… We’ve been through a lot recently, right? ”

This time, Hye-yoon answered.

“No. I’m the one who’s been through a lot. Actually, being assassinated isn’t that big of a deal. I’ve almost died eighty-one times so far.”

After saying that, Hye-yoon took out a tissue from the table and wiped my mouth.

“Darling. You have a lot of spaghetti sauce on your mouth. Let’s eat it cleanly. Okay?”

“I’m eating cleanly. And I can wipe my mouth.”

Why is the kid suddenly like this? In front of everyone?

When I pushed Hye-yoon’s hand away, slightly annoyed, Seol-hee bit her lip and looked at us.

“I’m glad we’re on good terms.”

Seol-hee made such sarcastic remarks.

“Well, it’s good to have friends, right? Yeonlim?”

Hyeyoon suddenly spoke to Yeonlim as if poking her in the eye.

Yeonlim, who was looking at me with a slightly bitter look, quickly nodded her head.

“Big breasts are also good. Do you guys know that Seongwon is crazy about black and big breasts?”

What, what??

I slammed the table with both hands and stood up.

“Bin Hye-yoon! You, you, what are you talking about?”

“Oh my. Isn’t that right? Do I have the biggest breasts here?”

Then, this time, Seol-hee bit her lips and shouted.

“You must have had surgery. Where did you get it done illegally?”

“What? I’ve never had surgery. Didn’t the girl from Hwarang Group have her face ripped off? Now that I look at her, her nose looks a little weird?”

“What, what did you say?”

This time, Seol-hee suddenly got up from the table.

Hyeyoon giggled and opened her mouth leisurely.

“Everyone falls for it so easily. What should I do if they fall for provocation so easily?”

Then Seol-hee made an “Oops” expression.

Hyeyoon got up from the table, put her arm around my shoulder, and whispered leisurely.

“Okay. Let’s go swimming.”
