Do Ji-hyuk was embarrassed.

“Yes, why are you here?”

Since few people knew the house password, I naturally thought it was Lim A-rin, but I was very embarrassed by the unexpected appearance of Seol Joo-hee.

“Why. I thought it was Arin?”

Seol Joo-hee, who was slightly offended by Do Ji-hyuk’s behavior of looking for Im A-rin as if it was natural, clicked her tongue with a cold face and glared at Do Ji-hyuk.

“Trash… . Hye-ri Lee, on the topic of playing around with that slut. How dare you bring up Arin?”

“… What?”

Do Ji-hyuk’s expression crumples as he sees her spewing out harsh words.

Seol Joo-hee became even more angry at his reaction and criticized his promiscuity.

“How can people be so crowded? Is this okay for anyone as long as they spread their legs like a whore?”

“Sol Joo-hee. What did you say… !”

Do Ji-hyuk, who couldn’t hear what he heard, threw down the bag he was holding and tried to refute Seol Joo-hee’s words… .

“Shut up.”

Her anger at being betrayed by her unrequited love of 10 years is not over yet.

“Dirty traitor. You abandoned us and joined Sejin and met Arin? Since Arin is so sweet and tricks you, you just don’t see anything, right?”

Do Ji-hyuk felt just as unfair.

Because he never abandoned Queens, joined Sejin, or even deceived Im A-rin.

Nevertheless, he tried to maintain his composure and resolve Seol Ju-hee’s misunderstanding through conversation.

“Joohee. I don’t know what the hell I misunderstood, but I… !”

That moment.

“Just say one more word.”

Seol Joo-hee interrupted the conversation with a cold, murderous look.

“I want to rip that disgusting face to pieces right now, but in the meantime, I’m looking at it out of consideration for your affection.”

“You… .”

“Don’t hurt Arin any more, and end the relationship right away.”

Literally unilateral notification.

Do Ji-hyuk, whose fingertips began to tremble from the terrifying murderous sight aimed at the end of his neck, resisted the survival instinct ringing in his head and countered Seol Joo-hee’s warning.

“… What are you?”

“What?”

He didn’t like it.

She arbitrarily harbored misunderstandings, spewed out murderous intentions towards herself, and even tried to interfere in her relationship with Im Ah-rin.

“Whether Arin and I are dating or not… , Why do you keep interfering? ”

“… Ha.”

When Seol Joo-hee laughed as if she was dumbfounded and gave up her life, Do Ji-hyuk took a deep breath and fired again.

“… I don’t know what you think of me, but Arin is different.”

“Are you saying that now? You fooled an innocent child and played with it, what’s wrong?”

Do Ji-hyuk, who quietly closed his eyes and opened them when Im A-rin said that she was innocent, calmly accepted.

“It’s not that you’re naive, it’s that you trust me. Why do you keep forcing your thoughts on Arin?”

“What? Forced?”

“Arin is an adult too. You’re not old enough to argue!”

Seol Joo-hee, who got up from her seat as her voice rose, walked closer to Do Ji-hyuk, made direct eye contact, and shot him a low glare.

“Arin is a precious friend who is like my family. I can never see my friend getting hurt.”

friend.

Do Ji-hyuk’s emotions, which had boiled over at the single word “friend,” subsided in an instant.

“… Then what about me?”

The first feeling Do Ji-hyuk felt after falling into another world was terrible loneliness.

The life I had built up over 20 years was completely gone in an instant.

We only communicated through words, but no one recognized the person named ‘Do Ji-hyeok’ anywhere.

There wasn’t even a small space where one could lean back and rest comfortably.

If I hadn’t ‘accidentally’ met Arin Lim when I was lost and struggling in extreme loneliness, I probably wouldn’t have been in this world by now.

“I… .”

Do Ji-hyuk, who started a new life, devoted his life without hesitation to the purpose of saving Seol Joo-hee, his favorite character in his favorite novel.

Not for myself, the fake protagonist, but for my ‘friend’ who was the real protagonist.

Since he had always treated these women with sincerity and no lies, he could not erase his feeling of disappointment.

“I was not your friend… ?”

Seol Joo-hee was momentarily speechless when she saw Do Ji-hyuk’s eyes filled with sadness.

“I… . I thought you thought of me as a friend.”

Do Ji-hyuk looked straight into her shaking eyes and revealed the heavy sincerity buried deep in his heart.

“… Even when you came with that damn video. Even when they didn’t even listen to a short explanation and called me trash. I was abandoned like a rag partner by the team I devoted myself to for 10 years, even when there wasn’t even a single word of contact. So far I… , I never once thought of you as not a friend.”

“… that… !”

Seol Joo-hee was taken aback by Do Ji-hyuk’s sincere actions.

The thought that he was trying to deceive me constantly arose in my head, but

Do Ji-hyuk in front of me was telling only the unvarnished truth.

“Ah, you must have been very angry. It looks the same to me, so of course it could be misunderstood. Later, as time passes and you explain that it was all a misunderstanding, we can go back to being friends. I thought so.”

Just like the day she witnessed him collapse, sorrow began to seep out from deep within Seol Joo-hee’s heart.

‘no. I am… !’

Seol Joo-hee, feeling inexplicable nervousness and anxiety, urgently tried to stop Do Ji-hyuk from speaking… .

“That’s not it… !”

“… But, it wasn’t you.”

Water that has already been spilled cannot be returned.

‘Oh, no, no…’ !’

Seol Ju-hee felt as if her brain had been turned into mush.

There is confusion in the way of thinking.

“… Oh, no… . No!!!”

It was only then that Seol Ju-hee, who grabbed her head in confusion, noticed something strange.

In the process of accepting the fact that Do Ji-hyuk is a traitor and promiscuous scum, there is a clear contradiction.

The reason Seol Joo-hee came to believe that Do Ji-hyuk was trash is only because of the ‘video’.

At first, I was suspicious of Do Ji-hyuk’s manipulation, saying it couldn’t possibly be like that, but from the moment I saw him rolling around with another woman and felt a sense of “betrayal,” it felt like an obvious fact.

It was as if there was a hole, the middle process was empty.

“Ugh… .”

I hope Seol Joo-hee is confused for a while.

After pouring out all his feelings, Do Ji-hyuk took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

“Thank you so much for saving my life before. Thanks to you, my life was saved, so I am truly grateful.”

A formal, formal thank you.

There wasn’t even a trace of emotion left.

“If you need compensation, please let me know. What I can do is… . Because that’s all there is.”

“You… !”

“It’s okay no matter what you think of me. Whether you see me as a scum of the earth who beats up women or a traitor who abandons the team I’ve been with for 10 years like a dedicated partner, you can do whatever you want.”

“Do Ji-hyuk!”

“With Arin… . I’ll sort it out soon. I don’t want to see you two fighting because of me.”

Seol Joo-hee clenched her fists out of inexplicable frustration.

He was someone I loved so much that I promised to spend the first night with my friends on the same day and in the same place.

He was the person I cared for and cherished more than anyone else, and it was Do Ji-hyuk, whom I thought we would naturally connect with and naturally share purity with.

But in fact, it was a very unfair situation to find out that he was a dirty man who met random women, but when he came out as a red-faced man, it was literally a situation where I felt like I was going crazy.

‘why… !’

However, I couldn’t let out this injustice.

The moment you say it’s unfair, there’s no way to explain your contradictory behavior of changing your attitude at once, even though you thought it was so precious.

“… Please leave now.”

“!”

Seol Joo-hee was momentarily overcome with emotion at Do Ji-hyuk’s order to leave.

This wasn’t the reason I came in the first place.

I really hated him, I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him, but I came to him because I was truly worried.

It’s just that I found out about the Sejin Guild on the way, so I was a little angry.

but.

As before, Seol Joo-hee could not get a single word out of her mouth.

“… … .”

Seol Joo-hee glanced at Do Ji-hyuk,

Leaving behind his deeply sunken gaze, I immediately packed my bags and went outside.

*

dark house.

Im A-rin, who was watching the big screen alone, sighed as if she felt something was regretful.

“… He went… .”

Lim A-rin, who was leaning heavily on a soft chair, looked away from the screen and fumbled around on the desk as if looking for something.

Suddenly─

Eventually, an unidentified pill was caught in her hand.

Lim A-rin took a quick look at the medicines, each one wrapped well in silver foil, to see how many were left.

“Umm… .”

The number of pills remaining is approximately 11.

The pill in the packaging had a color close to a whitish liquid, and there was no description of the drug written anywhere, indicating that it was not a commonly sold drug.

Width─

She took the pill out of its packaging and deeply inhaled the faint scent coming from the packaging.

“… Haaa… .”

She lets out a sad sigh with a melting expression.

She put down the rest of the medicine, swallowed the saliva that filled her mouth, and swallowed the pill she had taken out.

Then, he rolled the pill and placed it between his inner molars, then slowly crushed the pill.

Puzzle──

The soft capsule, which was unable to withstand the pressure and was torn, spit out the white turbid liquid it contained.

Lim A-rin raised her head, feeling intense pleasure from the aroma and satisfaction filling her mouth.

“Ugh… .”

Her whole body is shaking and shaking in ecstasy as if she has reached her climax.

She was enjoying the strong body odor that penetrated her brain, and even stopped breathing, as if it was a waste to spill even a little.

He soon endured it to his limit, then slowly let out hot breath and a faint moan.

“Huh… .”

It was as if he was under the influence of illegal drugs… .

Gulp─

What she swallowed was not an illegal drug.

“… ha… .”

Lim A-rin, who was leaning deeply into the chair and enjoying the remaining pleasure, carefully opened her eyes and looked blankly into space.

After sitting on the chair blankly for a while, she moved her eyes and looked at the huge monitor on her desk.

I quietly stared at Do Ji-hyuk, who was drinking alone, and placed my hand on one of his chest and between his legs, and whispered softly, savoring his body odor that had not yet disappeared.

“… Hang in there… . I’ll save you right away… .”
