A few days passed and the first semester finally ended.

Even though I’m on a leave of absence, I couldn’t help but be happy because I’ll be able to spend more time with my lovers once the semester is over.

Ji-ah said she’ll be staying in a studio during the vacation and taking a summer semester, and Ha-eun said she’ll be staying in the dorm the whole time, so I’ll have to think about how I can make memories with them.

By the way, I was relatively relieved about the Cha Seon-yeong incident.

Because at our second meeting, she seemed to have accepted the situation to some extent.

If they just did what the goddess asked them to do like last time and ignored each other, it seemed like there wouldn’t be any major problems in the future.

… By the way, I wish tomorrow would come quickly.

Tomorrow I decided to go on a date with Gia for the first time in a long time.

Actually, I wanted to meet you right away since my exams just ended today, but the voice I heard on the other end of the phone was on the verge of fainting.

I heard you haven’t slept more than two hours a day for several days, so I’m going to get some rest today and see you tomorrow.

… First of all, what should I do today?

The time displayed on the phone screen was 4:00 p.m.

It was a time when I was thinking about composing a new illustration for Ha-eun.

dripping.

…Who is it? Gia should be sleeping.

I opened the door without thinking and learned a lesson.

When someone comes to visit, you should always open the door carefully.

That’s understandable, the person standing outside was dressed very suspiciously.

A wide-brimmed round hat like you might see in an old Western movie.

Sunglasses and a mask tightly conceal the facial features.

Even a long coat that looks too hot to wear in June.

I asked cautiously, at the visual whose identity I could not figure out.

“… Who are you?”

“It’s me. Let me in quickly before someone sees me.”

Among my acquaintances, there is no one who enjoys that kind of fashion.

But the voice was familiar, as if I had known it for a long time.

“Mr. Cha Seon-yeong?”

—

“… How did you know?”

I asked that while sitting at my computer desk chair.

Cha Seon-yeong took off the cumbersome items and long coat that were covering her face and answered while sitting on my bed.

“I asked the goddess or whatever and she told me. I guess it really is a god who comes when you pray.”

“Ah… .”

“Why are you so indifferent? Just like last time, don’t you think I’m interesting? Do you not know what I do?”

Of course, it’s strange that a celebrity came to my studio apartment.

But when I asked if he was happy, he said no at all.

Because of Jia and Ha-eun, I didn’t want to get involved with other women in private.

And judging by her uncomfortable expression, it didn’t seem like she had come for a good cause.

“I know, I know. What brings you here?”

“I really don’t like it.”

When I gave her a look telling her to get to the point instead of answering, her lips opened again.

“You said you were in the same situation as me, right? When you try to tell someone else what we went through, you get stuck or can’t even write it down?”

This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

I haven’t heard anything from Jiana Ha-eun either, so it seems like the goddess only took action against Cha Seon-yeong.

I nodded, thinking it would be better to just agree here.

“Yes.”

“I see. That’s fortunate.”

Of course, he thought I would be the same as him, so he accepted it without saying anything.

“Is that what you came here to ask?”

“That’s right. Even if you don’t mean to, you might accidentally tell someone else.”

“If I could speak, what would I have done?”

“I was going to write a memorandum of understanding for confidentiality. I made an appointment at the office to have it notarized, but I guess I’ll have to cancel.”

I remember when I wasn’t yet close with Zia, she asked me for a memorandum.

I thought Jia was an especially meticulous person, but I never thought that Cha Seon-yeong would prepare a memorandum as well.

The difference was that the opponent was not an ordinary college student, but a powerful, famous celebrity.

“You even write a memorandum…?”

“It’s only natural that a scandal can be fatal to an actress.”

I understand to some extent.

Although I learned through an article a while ago that she has never been in a relationship, Cha Sun-young has been popular with the public for a long time, not only for her looks but also for her image of being diligent in her work without being distracted.

Thanks to this, when people think of Cha Sun-young, they think of modifiers such as sincerity, confidence, an entertainer with conviction, and an icon of self-management and hard work.

Anyway, I think it was a good lie since I avoided the situation of signing a memorandum with a famous celebrity.

“I’m done with business, so I’ll go. I’ll tell you clearly, if anyone finds out about what we did, they won’t let it go, so be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I can’t tell you.”

I think I had a similar conversation with Zia before.

Anyway, Cha Seon-yeong returned armed with sunglasses and a mask.

Although it was a sudden visit, it wasn’t a big problem because it didn’t change the fact that we draw a line in our daily lives.

A day passed like that, and it was the long-awaited date day with Gia.

We went out to a busy area far from our neighborhood, hoping to meet someone we knew.

As I was having fun wandering around various places for the first time in a while, Jia’s finger pointed to a sign.

“Dohyun, do you want to go there…?”

“Dog cafe?”

“Yes. If you don’t like dogs that much, then don’t bother… .”

I also like puppies so much that I search for them on YouTube.

And if your lover wants to go, is there any reason to refuse?

“No, I like it too. Let’s go in.”

It was my first time visiting a dog cafe, so it was quite an unusual experience for me.

People were drinking coffee at tables on one side, while dogs were running around in a wide space on the other side.

Judging by the large number, it seemed like there were a mix of dogs raised by the cafe owner and dogs brought in by customers.

“Wow… .”

“Is this your first time here, Jia?”

“Yes. What should I do, you’re so cute.”

While my coffee was waiting for me, I asked for the owner’s understanding and approached the dogs.

Jia, who had been excited since she entered the cafe, couldn’t hold back the smile on her face.

“This must be a Bichon. It’s so pretty. Come here~. Oh my! What’s its name? Dohyun, look at this. It listens so well.”

“That’s right. All the dogs here are so gentle.”

Her charming appearance is unfamiliar and yet fascinating.

“You really liked puppies.”

“Yes, that’s right. I wanted to raise one since I was little, but my mom hates animals… Have you ever raised one, Dohyun?”

“I don’t know if I raised it, but I did take care of a stray dog for a little while.”

When I was in elementary school, there was a stray dog in the neighborhood.

I felt sorry for it, so I fed it and played with it, and it followed me well, but I don’t know what happened to it now because we moved.

“I see. This is a poodle! It’s so cute. I want to kiss it.”

“You have to kiss me.”

“You do this often with Dohyun, right?”

What is this feeling that you would feel if your wife’s attention was completely taken away by your children?

I never thought I would feel jealous of this little puppy.

But my jealousy melted away in an instant at the sight of the puppy’s cuteness towards me.

So I was waiting for my coffee with the dogs.

As if in a dream, the background swirled and turned into a blank space like a sheet of paper.

“Here… ?”

“I guess the goddess called again. But Dohyun, are you okay? You were unconscious when you came here, right?”

“Yeah, are you okay? I guess you’ve gotten used to it.”

During that conversation, a goddess appeared in one place.

“Dohyun, Jia. Hello. It’s been a while.”

Not me, but it’s been a while for Jia.

But, bringing Cha Seon-yeong in and then looking for Jia again, it seems like Kwon Neung is really self-willed.

“I wanted to ask for your help again today, but it’s a different request than before… .”

What kind of favor could you ask for?

Jia asked.

“I guess this is a big deal?”

“… Yes. A factory explodes due to someone’s carelessness. ”

“Ah… I have to do it anyway. Please tell me what to do.”

Zia, who had become as familiar with it as I was, said calmly.

I looked at the goddess with the intention that I too had the same thoughts as her.

“Thank you very much. I will definitely repay this favor.”

The goddess bowed politely and began to explain.

“Where you two were… Ah, I want you to play bitch.”

The goddess’s cheeks turned slightly red, as if embarrassed by the word “bitch.”

But what surprised both of us was another word.

“You want me to do it at a cafe with Jia?”

“… Yes.”

A surprised Zia muttered.

“In a cafe? That’s ridiculous… .”

“I will use my abilities to make the inside of the cafe look normal from the outside. I will also prevent outsiders from coming in, and when I am done, I will erase the memories of those around me as well as the CCTV records.”

“No matter what, if we do something like that, wouldn’t people report us to the police?”

The goddess answered my question.

“I plan to put a kind of hypnosis on the people inside the cafe. Their common sense will change and they will naturally accept Do-Hyeon and Ji-Ah’s actions.”

“What is that… .”

“I know you’re worried, but I’ll make sure not to cause any trouble to Dohyun and Jia. So please… .”

“… .”

Even though our minds were complicated, there was nothing we could do.

I can’t help but believe his words that he will make sure there are no problems.

After chatting with the goddess a bit more, we returned to the dog cafe.

…you want me to do that here? Until I say I’m a goddess?

I knew that from the outside, no one could tell what was going on inside, and no new people were coming in.

There is also no memory of the people around them or CCTV records left behind.

It was also fortunate for me that everyone in the store was women except me.

Because I don’t want to show that side of Gia to other men.

But the problem is, what kind of hypnosis did the goddess put on the people in the store?

As I was exchanging nervous glances with Jia, the cafe owner approached me and spoke to me.

“Welcome.”

“Huh? Yes.”

I answered it without thinking, but something feels strange.

I’m sure you said hello and even ordered when you came in earlier?

Why are you treating us like we just got here?

“You came with a bitch.”

For a moment I doubted my ears.

Did you just call that woman a bitch?

“What did you say?”

“On that head.”

The hostess politely points to Jia’s head with her palm.

I turned my head to the side, and saw that Zia, who was following me in confusion, had a puppy ear headband on her head.

“Jia, where did you get that?”

“I, I don’t know either.”

Did the goddess put it on us at a time when we didn’t notice?

Zia whispered to me as I was worrying.

“I guess I look like a puppy because of my headband.”

Even after hearing that, I still couldn’t figure out the situation, so I asked the owner in a trembling voice to confirm it properly.

“Does this look like a puppy to you?”

“Huh? Ahahaha!”

The cafe owner laughs as if he heard a funny joke.

If you ask anyone if a puppy looks like a puppy, they’ll be dumbfounded, so I guess our guess was right.

But the words the owner spoke next were unexpected.

“Of course I know you’re a human. I was talking about a bitch in a dirty sense.”
