As I look at my sister trembling near the front door, I feel my anger toward Park Woo-jin boiling over even more.

However, it can be said that it is more important to put aside anger for now and provide stability to my sister.

I think I saw something like an herbal tea in a store that helps calm the mind.

It is said that drinking tea relaxes the nervous mind and provides a calming effect.

And since this store system has ‘certain’ attached to it, like the one attached to the fatigue recovery medicine, I think it will be a great help in the current situation.

[ Welcome to the Item Shop! ]

[List of items available for purchase]

[ Definitely stable herbal tea (15) ]

When you activate the store and look around, you see the product you are looking for and immediately select it.

[ Definitely stable herbal tea (15) ]

[It more clearly calms the nervous or fearful mind. ]

[Tension -50, Fear -50, Stress -50, Comfort +50]

[Purchase price: 1pt]

I can see that it comes in packs of 15, like herbal teas sold commercially, probably because it comes with tea bags.

I only have 2 points, but it’s not a waste to spend 1 point for my sister.

If you can find peace of mind through this, it will actually be cheaper.

[Would you like to purchase? ]

okay. purchase.

[1pt will be deducted. ]

[You have purchased certain stable herbal tea (15). ]

This was my first time using the store, so I was curious about how the items came out.

After deciding to purchase, a box of herbal tea bags pops out of the air, materializes, and lands in front of your eyes.

Oh… that’s kind of interesting.

Things come out of thin air like this.

What’s amazing is what’s amazing.

I decided that now was not the time to be like this, so I picked up the tea bag and walked towards the kitchen.

“Oh, when did you come in?”

I just feel sorry for my sister, who moves like that and then adjusts her posture in surprise as if she has finally discovered me.

“Just now. Ah, sister. This is an herbal tea I often drink when I’m a little anxious. Try one.”

While saying that, he opens the tea bag box, takes out a herbal tea, pours warm water into a mug, and begins to brew it.

“What car is it? It smells really good.”

“What it is… uh, I don’t know either.”

When I take a quick look at the box, I see the name of the tea leaf that I’ve never seen written on it, but I don’t know what it is, so I just gloss over it.

It might look a little suspicious, but… I guess it’ll be okay if I drink it too, right?

I thought I needed to calm down to some extent, so I took two glasses to the table and pushed one in front of my sister.

“Try it once. It will be helpful.”

Actually, it’s my first time buying from a store system, so I’m not sure how effective it will be.

I take a sip first, thinking that it would be as effective as using 1pt.

gulp-

But this… it smells pretty good and tastes good, right?

It has a refreshing scent unique to herbal tea and is warm, so it’s easy to swallow, and even though I’m not a huge fan of tea, it tastes pretty good.

And the biggest thing of all was that I began to feel like the anger I had been feeling until now was fading away.

I take a quick look at my sister’s expression to see what she’s like.

“..Tea is delicious. Warm, nice.”

Unlike before, my sister was no longer shaking, and her expression seemed to have calmed down.

Fortunately… it’s worth more than 1pt.

***

Dohyeon, who had gone outside to talk on the phone for a moment, suddenly brought tea bags and said he would give them a ride. Dayeon wondered how helpful that would be.

‘This… is really, really good.’

After drinking the tea, I definitely felt much more at ease.

No, as soon as I saw Do-hyeon’s back and smelled his scent, I started to feel more relaxed than before.

‘..How can Dohyun make people feel at ease like this?’

Even when he was away for a moment, all kinds of thoughts filled my mind and my body was shaking.

Now, as if it had never happened before, I felt like my mind and body were at peace.

‘It’s really strange.’

I have never felt so comfortable being around people.

In fact, it was true that I called Do-hyeon, who lived nearby, out of frustration and fear and wanted to confide in someone, but as I was talking, I wondered if I had called him for no reason.

Anyway, I was becoming more and more confused as I thought that it was a very funny situation for the boss to say this to his employees.

So I was more afraid.

I’m afraid that even Do-hyeon will criticize that and leave.

If that happens, Eun-chae, who likes Do-hyeon, might ask why he did that and hold him responsible.

Of course, Dayeon knew full well that these two people were not the type of people to do that, but she couldn’t maintain her composure in this situation.

‘But I feel completely fine now.’

My head became clearer and I was able to look at the whole situation calmly.

When I was broadcasting earlier, I tried not to be conscious of this as much as possible and managed to maintain my composure, but now I have the courage to face it properly.

“Thank you, Dohyun. Even though it was his day off, he came and listened to me talk. I feel like I’ve become a lot more comfortable.”

Seeing Dayeon talking like that, Dohyeon also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness. I was very worried. Oh, and my sister. This is something I wanted to talk about once things calmed down a bit.”

Do-hyeon, who revealed that he had gone out to talk on the phone with the convenience store manager earlier, said that the manager’s daughter is a lawyer and that he thought she could get help.

“Oh, of course, my sister could hire a separate lawyer, but I was wondering if there was anything I could help with, and it suddenly occurred to me that I contacted you.”

Dohyeon and Dayeon were just grateful that they made it clear that there was no need to get help if they didn’t want it.

“No, thank you so much. I was wondering if there was a lawyer I could trust.”

As Da-yeon did not have a separate agency and had never hired a lawyer for legal issues, the thought of finding a trustworthy law firm was a daunting task.

In the meantime, I can’t believe you introduce me to a trustworthy lawyer like this.

“It really helped me so much that I feel sorry.”

“Ah, I’m just making a connection, okay? I could have helped you more if I knew the law better.”

Of course, if you had extensive knowledge of the law, there was a high probability that you would become someone who deals with the law rather than an editor.

“It’s already helpful enough, but how much more helpful are you trying to do?”

Dayeon’s comfortable smile, as if she had regained her usual self, made Dohyeon feel at ease as well.

“It’s a really amazing feeling. When I’m with you, I feel strangely at ease, and I can easily talk about things that are difficult to talk about with others.”

The reason why Dayeon immediately felt at ease was because the herbal tea made in the store was very effective.

You would feel a great sense of peace of mind as it relieved tension, fear, and stress and raised comfortable feelings.

“It’s okay to expect more. If you have any concerns, I can always listen to you.”

Of course, these appearances could be said to be completely different from the appearance of Dayeon that Do-hyeon had longed for.

In any case, Do-hyeon had admired Dayeon’s bright and strong appearance.

‘But it’s better now.’

It was more satisfying than I thought to see her with such a weak voice and expectations, rather than the bright and strong Da-yeon that everyone could see.

“Hmm.. Then could you have a drink with me today?”

“Alcohol? Alcohol can temporarily relieve stress, but it can have negative effects in the long run…”

“Ah, on a day like today, just drink some together.”

Do-hyeon burst into laughter when he saw Dayeon looking at him with a slightly pouty expression after interrupting her conversation.

“It’s a joke, a joke. Okay, let’s have a drink. Should I go out and drink?”

“Umm, no. Let’s drink here. I don’t think I can handle it if the stories I say while drinking get out.”

“…What on earth are you talking about?”

I had some expectations that they would talk about Park Woo-jin and things like that.

Do-hyeon was well aware that such a story could get on his nerves if it got out, but he began to narrow his eyes and look at Dayeon, who had a strangely sinister smile on his face.

“Well, you have to drink to know that, right?”

“Yes, yes. Should I have snacks delivered?”

“Yes, let’s order it at Pocha.”

The two sat side by side on the sofa, facing each other’s shoulders, staring at a cell phone, and started choosing things to eat as snacks one by one.

“Tteokbokki is a must.”

“Sister, you really like tteokbokki.”

“Because it’s delicious. What do you want to eat?”

“Well, I’m a golbaengi somen.”

After deciding on a few dishes and placing an order, Dohyeon stood up.

“I’ll go and get the alcohol.”

“Let’s go together.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll go alone.”

I managed to calm her down in a difficult situation, but it was a small consideration on the part of Do-hyeon who thought that if she met viewers in that situation and heard whispers about her being with a man, problems might arise again.

“I’ll be back soon. I’m drinking more herbal tea.”
