The betting deadline was two days away.

There is only one chance left.

If they are wrong this time, Ha-ryeong’s personality will be destroyed never again.

“Hmm…”

Even though I was in such a difficult situation, I didn’t have much to worry about.

Because I was confident that I would definitely win this bet.

This is what I thought of Ha-ryeong’s strategy.

First, Sujin’s performance continues for a week.

By doing so, you can offset the risk of giving your body to Sujin.

Not only that, if done well, it could have given me confusion about my options.

In common sense, it would be difficult to think that Ha-ryeong would continue to pretend to be Su-jin all week.

If I hadn’t realized one thing along the way, I would have been caught up in her pace.

Ha-ryeong’s acting was perfect.

So much so that her family, who had lived with her for many years, had no inkling that she was a different person.

Until I realized something, I also couldn’t distinguish between Ha-ryeong and Su-jin at all.

Watching Ha-ryeong act with a high degree of understanding of the character Cha Soo-jin, I could understand why Ha-ryeong was so confident in her bet.

However, because it was like that, I was finally able to figure out Haryeong’s plan.

Once again, Ha-ryeong’s acting was perfect.

However, because she was perfect, she could never become Sujin.

Sujin is not a savvy child like Ha-ryeong.

No matter what I did, it was clumsy. Study and exercise.

Compared to 17 years of experience for people her age, Soojin has 9 years.

Besides myself and Han Chae-yeon, I have never interacted with anyone else.

Because of this, Sujin is emotionally more unstable than others.

No matter how hard you try to hide it, you cannot hide the sense of danger that unconsciously oozes out.

That is not something that even Ha-ryeong, who knows Su-jin well, can imitate. Especially because, unlike Sujin, Haryeong has 17 years of memories intact.

Haryeong is perfect.

Sujin was anxious and unfinished.

This made very little difference.

It was very subtle, difficult to spot unless you knew them well, but it was a gap that Ha-ryeong could never fill.

Perhaps Chanwoo also noticed that at the sea.

That’s why Ha-ryeong told me that it was strange when he saw Soo-jin acting.

The outcome of the bet depended on whether I noticed it or not.

And I noticed that yesterday.

With this, I was able to clearly distinguish between Ha-ryeong and Su-jin.

The verification was completed with the reply to the reply I sent last night.

Now there was no chance for Haryeong to win. All that remains is how to persuade Ha-ryeong for the remaining two days.

Of course, winning the bet is important, but winning Ha-ryeong’s heart back is just as important. In the end, it’s up to Haryeong.

This was the reason why I intentionally sent the wrong answer even in situations where I could have answered correctly if I wanted to.

I found out that I would continue to be a subordinate during the betting period. If so, I took full advantage of this opportunity.

“…I guess so.”

I looked at Sujin’s door, which was always closed.

Even though it was getting closer to evening, when the red sunset was shining outside the window, the door did not seem to open.

It was safe to say that except for a few times in the morning when he went out to run some errands, he rarely went out.

She stayed locked in her room, even skipping meals.

smart.

“Sujin?”

I got up and knocked on the door.

As happened several times today, there was no particular response.

Are you sleeping?

I tried turning the doorknob, but it only made a clanking sound and didn’t turn.

According to my prediction, it is Ha-ryeong who is currently occupying Su-jin’s body.

It was difficult to understand that she, who had to continue acting as Soo-jin to deceive me when the deadline for the bet was fast approaching, was suddenly leaving the door locked behind her.

I also thought that this might be part of Ha-ryeong’s strategy.

What if you want to pretend that your memory is suddenly confused and that you are having a hard time?

…no. It was hard to believe that Ha-ryeong, who was confident in her acting, would take such an ambiguous attitude.

After thinking for a moment while standing in front of the door, I decided to open the door.

Whichever was currently occupying Sujin’s body, there was a need to meet in person and meet face to face.

Even if you open the door, it doesn’t mean you have to bring tools and force it open.

There was a master key in this house so that we could respond even if an unexpected accident occurred.

I usually don’t use it because of the risk of infringing on my personal privacy, but in this case, I guess I can’t help it.

I took the master key from a hidden drawer that only Han Chae-yeon and I knew about.

“Entering?”

The moment you take a deep breath and insert the key into the keyhole.

“…Oppa?”

I had no choice but to stop when I heard the voice.

“What are you doing?”

“I was worried because there was no answer when I called.”

I quickly hid the key I was holding behind me.

Because I didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding.

Sujin looks at me with a puzzled look.

On the outside, Sujin didn’t look much different from her usual self, except that her complexion was a little pale.

The fact that it is no different from usual here is the true story of Sujin. Not Soo-jin, played by Ha-ryeong.

Sujin’s unique and dangerous imperfection, which I mentioned earlier, was radiating from her now.

I helped Sujin, who came out of the room with unsteady steps.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes. I’m just not feeling well today. Are you going to catch a cold?”

“…what is the heat?”

“I don’t think there is one. Instead, it might give you a little headache.”

Sujin smiled faintly and put her weight on me.

Sujin’s face was frowning, as if what she said about having a headache was true.

“…Can I not go to the hospital?”

“Why make a fuss about having a cold. This kind of thing is better if you take a nap.”

With that, he passed me and sat down on the living room sofa, half-collapsed.

“…”

“Wow, I’m tired.”

Sujin seemed to have noticed my unexpected gaze and stretched out as calmly as possible.

Suddenly, I remembered a similar story being exchanged at the hotel.

The morning after Sujin fell into the cold sea.

I remember Ha-ryeong, who really had a cold, telling me she was okay.

Same face, same voice. And even their actions were similar.

As I stared at her, Sujin smiled vaguely and scratched the back of her head.

However, it was the same, but different.

Although it is difficult to express it. It was a little different from Haryeong’s Soojin seen at the hotel. There was a glimpse of danger, as if a person pushed to the edge of a cliff was trying hard to pretend to be okay.

Is it really Sujin?

What if Ha-ryeong is still acting?

Can things change so much overnight?

Until now, I was 100% confident that I could distinguish between the two people.

But I’m not sure now.

My mind was telling me that she was Sujin.

However, there is no reason for Ha-ryeong to replace Su-jin now.

This is too much of a gamble.

As casually as possible, I take a seat next to her on the sofa.

After that, I pretended to be watching TV and changed the channels using the remote control, and carefully started playing.

“Now that I think about it. Speaking of yesterday…”

“Uh, yesterday?”

“Yes, yesterday.”

“Ah, yesterday…what was it…haha.”

A voice that sounds perplexed.

Normally, Sujin would have said, “That’s right,” and stuck to me, but right now, she couldn’t even make eye contact.

“Ah, that’s right! Now that I think about it, I was supposed to meet a friend today. I was sleeping so I forgot.”

“Hmm?”

“Sorry oppa! Now that I think about it, I forgot that I had urgent business to run!”

Sujin, who was embarrassed as her gaze wandered for a moment, put her hands together and apologized to me.

Before I could say anything, Sujin jumped up from the sofa and quickly disappeared into her room.

Anyone could see that it was an unnatural behavior.

I do know that Sujin doesn’t have any friends other than Yuna.

What’s more, she, who barely went out during the entire vacation, suddenly goes out because she has an appointment?

It’s almost 100% a lie.

The problem is that anyone I know would have taken all of these facts into consideration.

It was also true that such clumsy lies were Sujin’s specialty.

“I’m not feeling well, so don’t go out today.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I have a strong body, right?”

I gave that advice while looking at Sujin, who had quickly changed into her going-out clothes.

Sujin lightly ignored my words. It seemed like the only thought on her mind was avoiding conversation with me.

“Then I’ll come back after playing. It will take about three hours.”

“Shall I go with you?”

“A I’m hanging out with my friend, but that’s not right. Please invite me on a date next time!”

Then, wondering what was so urgent, I hurriedly left the house.

“I have to go after it.”

bang! After staring at the front door that was closed tightly with a sound, I immediately got up from my seat.

Today Sujin looked very anxious.

It would be better if Ha-ryeong’s acting was more than enough.

At that time, all you have to do is raise both hands and ask Ran for help.

However, if it is really Sujin, the problem is a little different.

There is no telling what Soo-jin, who has lost all of her memories of the past five days, will do outside alone.

In the first place, it makes no sense to leave such a dangerous guy alone.

That was the moment when I decided to follow Sujin.

Tiring.

The front door password was entered and the sound of the door opening was heard.

For a moment, I wondered if Sujin had returned, so I looked in that direction and saw a completely unexpected person.

“Oppa!”

Those were the two twins who went to Han Chae-yeon’s cafe in the morning.

Both Hayun and Younha were out of breath as if they had run all the way here at full speed, but Younha’s condition was more serious.

He was completely pale and was trembling as if he had seen something terrible.

The moment I tried to approach the two people, wondering what was going on.

“Soo, Sujin is…!”

Younha’s desperate, screaming voice hit my eardrums first.
