“… Arin… .”

Do Ji-hyuk’s voice resonates without any sound.

In response to his voice, Arin Lim crouched even further and began to tremble like a frightened person.

“Bo, don’t look… . please… .”

She didn’t want Do Ji-hyuk to see her ugly side.

Because I only wanted to show him my pretty side.

I didn’t want to face this ugly person, not even wearing proper clothes, let alone makeup.

“… Arin… .”

but.

“It’s okay. Because I’m fine… . Huh?”

Do Ji-hyuk couldn’t even tell her inner thoughts.

I just approached her cautiously, thinking that the hints written to her might have caused trouble.

“It’s okay… .”

And the moment I slowly stretched out my hand to comfort her.

Tak!

Suddenly, Im A-rin stood up, roughly slapped his hand away, and began to glare at him with a sharp, cold look.

“… Arin?”

Her face is so cold that it sends goosebumps down my spine.

Do Ji-hyuk was startled by her appearance without even the slightest emotion.

“… !”

She reacted with embarrassment for a moment, but soon began to shed tears with an indescribable sad expression.

“… Black… .”

Do Ji-hyuk was convinced that the hint he had given to Im A-rin had caused some kind of problem.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain her behavior that fluctuates so wildly.

So why did this previously quiet hint suddenly cause trouble?

‘… No way, because I went out with Seowon… ?’

Do Ji-hyuk calmly shook his head and approached Im A-rin.

Then he carefully stretched out his arms and hugged her,

“… Sigh… Wow… .”

Im A-rin, who was shedding tears of sadness, fell into my arms as if she had been waiting.

“I’m sorry I came so late.”

“… Oh no… Wow, no… . I’m sorry… .”

One way or another, the most urgent priority is to calm down first.

After Do Ji-hyuk confirmed that she was no longer convulsing, he hugged her tightly and slowly comforted her.

“… … .”

How long has it been since we were hugging each other and feeling each other’s heartbeat?

Do Ji-hyeok, who noticed that Im Ah-rin had stopped crying, touched her bangs and quietly spoke to her.

“Are you feeling better now?”

Then she nodded, answered, and quietly apologized.

“… sorry… .”

Seeing as he even apologized, he must be completely fine now.

“Arina.”

Do Ji-hyuk gently pulled away from Im Ah-rin and looked down at her.

But Lim A-rin did not raise her head.

As if he didn’t want to talk, he hid his face in his chest again.

“Arin Lim. Look at me.”

Do Ji-hyuk grabbed her face and forced eye contact and asked.

“Why did you do that?”

However, Lim A-rin just pouted her lips like a dissatisfied child and did not respond.

It meant that he didn’t want to answer.

“Are you going to keep doing this?”

Do Ji-hyuk, who was worse off, made a vague threat and urged an answer.

Then Lim A-rin looked down and looked down… .

“… Oh no… .”

Eventually, it lowered its tail and finally began to open its mouth.

“So… , what happened?”

“… that is… .”

Lim A-rin continued to pay attention to the situation and explained the whole story.

and… .

“… Huh?”

Do Ji-hyuk faced a slightly shocking fact.

“Ah, I wasn’t going to believe it, but they even sent me a picture… .”

A follower reported on social media that he was shopping at an adult goods store with Jinseowon.

‘… crazy… .’

Do Ji-hyuk, who felt a sense of crisis and swallowed hard, quickly spoke out, feeling a strange sense of déjà vu.

“There were circumstances.”

Do Ji-hyuk explained his work with Jin Seo-won step by step in order to eliminate any seeds of misunderstanding.

She wanted a limited edition toy, so I had no choice but to accompany her.

He explained his innocence, saying that since all traces remain on Jin Seo-won’s SNS, you can look at them as much as you want.

“… really… ?”

“Really.”

Of course, I couldn’t tell you about the little incident that happened after shopping… .

I thought this would be enough.

“… thank god… . I didn’t even know that… .”

It was only after hearing all the explanations that Lim A-rin showed relief… .

“I was careless. I’m sorry.”

“Oh, no… ! I’m really sorry for acting so strange all of a sudden… .”

While Do Ji-hyuk was relieved to see Im Ah-rin showing remorse, he also harbored some concerns.

‘Is this okay… .’

Lim A-rin is still under the influence.

A strong enough hint to change Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra’s behavior is being ignorantly suppressed simply in the name of ‘love’.

I didn’t really feel it because there were no major problems, but this incident clearly revealed it.

The fact that Lim A-rin seemed fine until now was just because she was forced to endure it.

In other words, if something similar happens again, there is a possibility that Lim Ah-rin will have another seizure.

‘… I have to hint somehow… .’

At that time, Im A-rin quietly snuggled into Do Ji-hyuk’s arms and began to flirt with him as if she was craving his affection.

“… ha… .”

Do Ji-hyuk sighs softly but reflexively strokes her.

Before he knew it, the idea that he needed to be more careful and that it would be better to stay away from women whenever possible began to bloom in his mind.

Lim A-rin, who hid her face in her arms with the happiest face in the world, quietly raised the corners of her mouth without anyone noticing.

As if the plan was successful and he was happy.

Team Seoul City Hall’s training camp.

“… Sister.”

“Huh?”

Jin Seo-won, who was sitting side by side with Bang Han on the sofa and sharing a review of their date, suddenly had a question.

“… Have you ever tried that?”

“What should I do?”

Bang Han-na, who was suspicious of Jin Seo-won’s unexpected question, tilted her head and asked back, and Jin Seo-won suddenly mentioned ‘relationship’.

“, suddenly?!”

“… Have you tried it?”

Embarrassed, Bang Han-na began to quickly shake her head while looking at Jin Seo-won’s thoughts.

‘Should I say I tried it? Ha, I’ve never tried it before… .’

If you say you haven’t tried it here, Jinseowon might ignore you.

Bang Han-na, who wanted to protect her dignity as an older woman, ended up lying… .

“Of course I tried it!”

“… Really?”

Jin Seo-won, who was deceived by an obvious lie, rarely showed interest with sparkling eyes.

“Yeah, but why suddenly?”

“… Just.”

Bang Han-na became a little worried when she saw Jin Seo-won suddenly showing interest in a strict place.

Jin Seo-won took Do Ji-hyuk with him, saying he wanted to buy a limited edition ‘toy’.

If you explain it wrongly, you might end up in another crazy accident.

“Perhaps… . Do you want to try it?”

“… … No.”

Jinseowon’s strangely late answer.

‘That’s a lie.’

Bang Han-na, who felt a sense of danger while watching her, decided to educate her herself to prevent accidents.

“Then… . Would you like this sister to teach me?”

“… Sister?”

“In the first place, you learn these things from adults… !”

The age difference between Bang Han-na and Jin Seo-won is only one year.

However, Jin Seo-won, who already recognized her as someone close to his real sister, readily accepted.

Hannah Bang finally began to attempt to eliminate her competitors under the pretext of education.

“First of all… . I’ll start by telling you who you can do it with.”

“… Who?”

“You only do this when the other person has promised to marry you or has decided to date you.”

“… Why?”

“Why! Do you want to meet a random guy?”

“… No.”

“So, only do it with people who are ready to accept each other. When you get married, you become a couple, and when you date, you can become a couple. … Of course, we can break up.”

“… So, how do you date?”

At that time, Jin Seo-won asked a sharp question.

The moment has come when Bang Han-na’s education shines.

“That’s right… . If you say you love each other and ask to date, you’re dating, right?”

“… What if I ask you out?”

“Yes. Just because you say you love each other doesn’t mean you’re dating, it’s ‘I love you.’ It’s okay as long as the intention to ‘let’s date’ is properly exchanged. Do you understand?”

“… Let’s date… . huh. I understand.”

Bang Han-na smiled inadvertently, confident that Do Ji-hyuk would never accept Jin Seo-won.

Of course, I felt a little guilty because I felt like I was deceiving the innocent Jin Seowon… .

‘Seowon… . Dating is real… !’

Anyway, I rationalized my actions, thinking that it was okay since I received proper education.

After a while.

The team finally finished their vacation and went to work at Seoul City Hall.

“Guys. Since we’ve had a good rest, let’s work hard today.”

““Yes!””

The three people who showed up at the training ground for the first time in a long time warmed up together and improved their physical condition.

“Gyu-ri.”

“Yes?”

“What kind of gifts do girls my age usually like?”

“A sudden gift?”

“Gyu-ri. Can’t you tell just by looking at it? It’s a gift for that girl.”

“Ah… !”

In the meantime, I received personal help from other team members… .

“Well… . Because he must have a lot of money… . Wouldn’t it be better to give a gift filled with heart?”

“A gift filled with your heart?”

“For example, a letter you wrote yourself. This is secretly touching.”

“Letter… .”

“Or, how about that? Homemade props or something like that.”

“Oh… . Junhyung, you have more sense than you look, right?”

“… What does that mean?”

‘It’s a gift I made myself… . Should I gift something like a diffuser or perfume?’

After Lim A-rin’s recent seizure incident, I am trying to pay more attention to her than before.

I thought that the more confidence I gave her, the more stable she would become.

“Ah, that’s right. Seowon dug up SNS, did you hear it?”

“Huh? Really?”

“Seowon?”

“I’m not sure whether to use it officially or not, but I think I’ll have to manage it first.”

Coincidentally, Jin Seo-won’s SNS came to mind, so I dropped the topic of gifts and told Han Gyu-ri and Kim Jun-hyung about Jin Seo-won’s account.

“Wow… . You went on a complete date course, right?”

“I just followed along.”

“Tsk tsk… . Why don’t you say that to your boyfriend too?”

“I’ve already reported everything, so don’t worry.”

While waiting for the warm-up to end, we were having a short conversation about social media management.

Tiring─

An alarm rang on Gyu-ri Han’s work cell phone.

It seemed like I had received an email related to work.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

She was sitting at the table and immediately checked her emails using her laptop… .

“Huh?”

“Something like spam?”

“Uh… . I was a little surprised.”

I was wondering what was going on, and when I saw the email, I was a little surprised.

“Where did you come from? .”

I slowly leaned over and checked where the email came from.

and.

“Huh?”

I ended up having the same reaction as Han Gyu-ri.

“What, where are you?”

Afterwards, Kim Jun-hyung seemed to be curious, so he gently put his shoulder in and checked the monitor.

“… Huh?”

He also showed a curious reaction.

“Baekil Group… . Right?”

“… I think that’s right?”

“It’s not a 100-day guild, it’s a 100-day group… ?”

The email was sent from Baekil Group.

It was the parent company of ‘100 Days Guild’, another large guild.
