Team Seoul City Hall’s successful debut created a lot more buzz than I expected.

The congratulatory post posted by Lim A-rin gained a huge number of followers, and even overseas began to take interest in our team.

Not only domestic broadcasters and media, but also famous foreign media even requested formal interviews.

“Congratulations! I knew you would definitely do it!”

On top of that, the mayor, who is known for his heavy feet, even rushed to the office in person… .

If I say more, my mouth will only hurt.

“Junhyung. What should I do. I… , I got a little scared.”

“I still don’t feel it. No, my relatives, who I had not contacted even when I became a civil servant, contacted me saying they saw the news?”

Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung also showed a slightly embarrassed reaction, as if they didn’t know that it would become such a hot topic… .

“How long are you going to stay like that? Gyu-ri, please come to your senses and get back to work.”

“… Maybe it’s because we’re not producers, but we can’t come to our senses.”

“Yes. You may be familiar with it, but we are not.”

It was completely understandable, but it was a little difficult for the two to continue to show like this.

“Anyway… . In front of the kids, act as calm as possible. It may not happen, but if you already get Hunter’s disease, it will be a real pain.”

If there is celebrity disease in the broadcasting industry, there is hunter disease in the hunter industry.

It is a kind of incurable disease that causes one to become self-absorbed by the sudden increase in attention and recognition.

I’m just taking my first steps, but I refuse to suffer from Hunter’s disease, which I’m told is not effective even with medication.

“… I’ll try my best.”

“… Me too.”

As the team members prepare for the upcoming new schedule, hoping to come to their senses before the break ends… .

[Arin: Can we have lunch together today? I’ll go there! ]

I began to build a new relationship with Lim A-rin step by step.

“Gyu-ri. I have a plan for lunch today, so I will eat separately.”

“… … It’s him, right?”

“100%. Otherwise, I carry the intestines in my hands.”

The two people openly rolled their eyes and whispered quietly, as if they had no intention of hiding anything.

It seemed like he noticed that I was about to have lunch with Arin.

“To openly flirt in a sacred workplace… . It’s really too much.”

“We are from the same industry, so it’s actually an office relationship.”

“Oh my, why did we get the same idea?”

Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung looked at me as if they were disapproving and talked among themselves.

“No matter what they say, I’m going. See you in the afternoon.”

“Wow… , are you really going?”

“Oh my god… .”

I quickly packed my bags and headed straight to the meeting place, ignoring the envious looks from the two people.

*

A small room on one side of the restaurant.

[Exclusive) Seol Joo-hee was so shocked by the loss that she went into seclusion… ]

[Exclusive) Hong Yu-ra is giving up all schedules and taking care of Seol Joo-hee… ]

[ Cheonhwa Guild “This season, the Queens are scheduled to take a break for rebuilding. No problem… ]

While waiting for Lim A-rin and looking for news on Queens, I was a little worried by the new news about Seol Joo-hee that was floating around.

Because I have a very proud personality, it wasn’t strange even if I received a big shock.

Considering the strange reaction I got right after getting out of the gate, I had plenty to worry about.

‘… Is it really okay… ?’

I tried to keep the bridge of my nose at a reasonable level without being arrogant, but it would be difficult to get completely discouraged.

Anyway, Seol Joo-hee is the main character of this world.

Her absence as the main character is a very big problem, and all the efforts I have made so far go in vain.

No matter how many things she has done to me that disappoint me,

Being truly incapable of recovery is another matter.

‘It’ll be okay… ?’

However, there is nothing I can do right now.

It is not worth asking Lim A-rin about the two people’s story, nor contacting Seol Joo-hee or Hong Yu-ra directly.

I could only hope that she shook herself off and woke up confidently, like Seol Joo-hee showed in the original work every time.

“Jihyuk… !”

At that time, the door opened and she appeared, dressed beautifully.

“I waited… ? sorry… ! Since it was lunch time, there was a bit of traffic again… .”

“No, it’s okay. Come on and sit down.”

As a follow-up to Cheonhwa Guild, Lim A-rin’s schedule was reduced and she naturally took a long vacation.

Thanks to this, the time I can spend with her has increased significantly,

I began to enjoy my time with her, slowly savoring the sweet excitement, as if I was being compensated for the time I had never enjoyed before.

“I worked hard today too… ?”

Sreuk─

She naturally talks to me and subtly entangles her fingers with me.

In the past, I would have avoided even such trivial contact… .

There was no need to avoid it now.

“I worked really hard. however… . Where are you going today?”

“Yes… ? no? why… ?”

“I wonder if you dressed up so pretty to seduce someone.”

“… !”

Lim A-rin widened her eyes as if she was slightly surprised, but then accepted my joke with a lovely smile.

“D, I got caught… ?”

“Yes. It’s so cool.”

“heehee… . how is it? I think it will work today… ?”

She smiles brightly and gently bows.

Her actions, which appeal for affection along with strong assertiveness, have constantly stimulated my heart.

I couldn’t help but laugh freely and held onto her hand tightly.

‘There is no such thing as a true monster.’

I don’t know how Lim A-rin has held back all this time, but she has been showing off her loveliness to the point of being scary.

It’s not enough to even call him the devil of loveliness.

The bean pods may already be heavily entangled.

While I was ordering a decent meal and waiting for it to arrive.

As I was peeking through the gap, I pretended not to know anything and hinted at a story about Queens.

“How are the kids these days?”

OK.

“Well, just… . I get along well… .”

Lim A-rin seemed slightly reluctant and subtly avoided the conversation.

It meant there was definitely something wrong.

but… .

“… okay? … Well then, thank goodness.”

I couldn’t bear to ask for detailed information.

The level of asking how a familiar acquaintance is doing.

Because it was exactly the same distance from Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra.

It was around this time that Do Ji-hyuk was snuggling up with Im A-rin.

Team Seoul City Hall’s training camp.

“Heehee… .”

Bang Hanna, who became one with the sofa on vacation, looked at the finely cut white paper and let out a happy fantasy.

‘If I just collect 8 more… !’

There were ten circles drawn on the paper along with the sentence ‘Freedom to wish’… .

Among them, Do Ji-hyuk’s handwritten signature was written in two circles.

The right to wish, which Do Ji-hyuk promised earlier, was actually created.

“Kyaaa… !”

At that moment, Hannah Bang buried her face in the cushion and was screaming happily and shaking her legs.

“… What are you doing?”

“!?”

Jin Seo-won, who had been stuck in the room the whole time, suddenly appeared in the living room.

“Uh, when did it come out!?”

“… Just now.”

Jin Seo-won, who lifted his head and looked at the embarrassed Bang Han-na, glanced at the white paper in her hand and asked a question vaguely.

“… What is that?”

That moment.

“Uh, huh!? Oh, it’s nothing… !”

Bang Hanna hurriedly hid the paper, glanced at Jin Seo-won’s clothes, and awkwardly changed the subject.

“… Well, by the way… . Where are you going… ?”

Jin Seo-won, who usually wears hoodies or short-sleeved t-shirts, was wearing a dress with a feminine design for some reason… .

Perhaps because he had combed his hair himself, it didn’t feel as frizzy as usual.

“… Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? Oh, have you already tried on what you’re going to wear tomorrow?”

“… huh. … How about it?”

“Umm… .”

Objectively, Jin Seowon’s appearance is quite outstanding.

She looked extremely pretty, perhaps because she had even cleaned up the sloppy fashions that usually diminish her beauty.

“I think you’ll look prettier if you just put on a little makeup… . Should I lend you my cosmetics?”

“… I don’t know how to put on makeup.”

“I’ll help you! Would you like to practice beforehand?”

Bang Han-na was willing to step forward to help Jin Seo-won without hesitation.

however… .

Suddenly, a question occurred to me.

‘I’m going to meet someone, but I’m dressing up like this?’

Bang Han-na has never seen Jin Seo-won dressed up before.

The fact that Jin Seo-won pretends to be like this means that even the insensitive Jin Seo-won is such a special person that he cares about her.

“But… . Who are you going to meet?”

Hanna Bang, who smelled an interesting smell, quietly asked a question with her eyes sparkling.

“… Producer.”

The answer I received made me pause for a moment.

“With whom… , let’s meet… ?”

“… Producer.”

“… !”

Bang Han-na, who couldn’t believe her hearing for a moment, felt a brief dizziness and a headache and grabbed her forehead.

‘… Why, why is he alone with the producer… ?! Even decorating it like this!? why not?! Some people are collecting stamps… !’

A surging sense of crisis and a sense of inferiority that follows.

The moment when you are about to be swept away by the overwhelming negative emotions.

‘… ah.’

I forgot about Bang Hanna.

The fact that one day, he also enjoyed a date with Do Ji-hyuk.

In other words, the person who hit the player was Bang Han-na, not Jin Seo-won.

“… Well, I see… .”

Soon, Bang Han-na, who calmed down her negative emotions by recalling her own precedent, spoke with a soft sigh at the memory of the past when she ended up meeting a black person.

“Okay… . Then, my sister, the producer, will decorate it so beautifully… !”

“… Really?”

In fact, it wasn’t a pure intention, but it was my own atonement for having negative thoughts about Jinseowon, even if only for a moment… .

‘… ‘I guess Seowon will be okay?’

Bang Han-na went on a rant, confident that nothing would happen to her anyway.

“Well, then… ! I only trust you!”

*

next day.

A downtown area in the center of Seoul.

[Arin: You said you were meeting that kid named Seowon today, right? ]

[ Me: Yes. I decided to help him eat and shop. I think we’ll probably break up in the evening. ]

[Arin: Sounds fun… ! Then, play nice, and be sure to contact me when you break up… ? ]

[ Me: Okay. You too are resting well. ]

After putting a heart mark on the cute emoticon that Arin Lim sent me, I turned off the messenger and glanced around, checking the time.

‘It’s about time… .’

Today, the last day of the subjugation vacation, a special afternoon tea was used according to the schedule that Jin Seo-won had personally requested.

Since she usually didn’t show much interest in going out, she gladly accepted it… .

I was a little intrigued as to why the wind was blowing so much that he invited me to go out with him.

“… Producer. I’m here.”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard from behind.

‘It’s a vow.’

It was Jin Seo-won’s voice.

“Come on… .”

Without thinking, I said hello and looked back.

“… !?”

I was momentarily speechless at the sight of a woman standing in front of me.

“… What’s wrong?”

In the place where I thought Jinseowon would be located… .

‘… Is it really a vow? ?’

There stood a woman so beautiful that it took my breath away.
