“Arina.”

Eventually, Chae-yoon, who had been watching, came out again.

“Aaagh..!”

Arin, who was doing a lot of strange things by herself, such as hitting a pillow or pretending to lie down and cry, was startled by the sudden sound of Chaeyun’s voice and screamed.

‘I know you’re embarrassed to look like that.’

Chae-yoon finds Arin like that kind of funny and cute.

On the one hand, I felt very frustrated and that was the feeling.

“Uh, sister, why..?”

“Can I come in for a moment?”

“Uh, ok.. then.”

Arin put the pillow back in its place, spread out the bedding, and greeted Chaeyun as she came in with a nonchalant expression.

“Well, what’s going on?”

I tried to ignore it by pretending it wasn’t the case and insisting on privacy as much as possible, but I decided it couldn’t be done this way.

I felt like if it continued like this, it would interfere with classes and the schedule for the next gate.

“What’s going on that you’re hitting the pillow like that and pretending to cry?”

“What, what..! Did you see everything..?!”

“…The door was a little open.”

Chae-yoon, who was the first to say that she didn’t see it for herself, but came to see it because of the sound coming from the open door, stood looking at Arin.

“Uh.. no, that’s..”

“What is our relationship like? I can’t tell you anything like that. Talk to me quickly.”

When Chae-yoon spoke as if she was disappointed, Arin only realized that she was making her worry.

“..No, that’s.. Ha, really.. I’m just embarrassed..”

“There are many things to be embarrassed about. I think it’s because of Seojun, who took you there yesterday, right?”

Instead of answering, Arin just nodded.

“Why, what’s the problem with Seojun? And it looked good until the morning, so why did it suddenly do this? Did you get kicked?”

When I think back to Seojun carrying Arin yesterday, I thought it didn’t make sense that he was actually dumped.

‘I was holding it very dearly.’

The look of extreme worry from afar was ingrained in Chae-yoon’s mind more than expected.

“…I think so.”

But Arin’s answer when she came back was that she thought she was dumped.

“…Uh..?”

Chae-yoon also sounded dumbfounded by the unexpected answer.

“No, no. wait for a sec. Did you get dumped? Really?”

“…I think so.”

It was Chaeyoon who was confused by Arin who kept saying that it seemed like that.

“No, what does it mean that it seems like that? Yes and no. Ha, first, let’s talk about what happened yesterday.”

“That..”

Arin started talking slowly from the beginning.

It started from the part where I first felt feelings for Seo-jun, and the part where I waited and recklessly dragged Seo-jun into the sea after seeing him meet with Geon-woo.

“No.. what if you lead a person like that?”

Chae-yoon was embarrassed as it was his first time seeing Arin act so recklessly.

“..I think that was my mistake too. But I did it because I felt like if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to talk about it or do it.”

Afterwards, we went to the sea in a car together and stopped by my grandfather’s house.

Arin’s expression was completely tearful as she talked about how the atmosphere had been very good up until then.

“But after that, I drank and… I think I did a lot of serious things. Drunk…”

I couldn’t remember exactly because my memory was intermittent, but I was certain that I had done the truth.

“We just held hands and wondered if all men have big hands or something like that.. We talked about strange things, sang and danced, and I don’t think it was too much of a fuss..”

I didn’t even want to remember the parts that were occasionally cut off.

Because I was afraid of how much more like the truth it would have been.

“…Uh, um…”

However, the expression on Seojun’s face when I met him at the door yesterday was too warm to say that I lost my affection after seeing the truth.

“But anyway, you felt fine until morning, right?”

“Yeah.. I sent a text message, but I didn’t get a reply..”

“Reply? When did you send it?”

When you have someone you like, it’s natural for your heart to start beating even over small and trivial things.

Chae-yoon had experience in dating, so it wasn’t that he couldn’t understand that part at all.

Of course, it wasn’t like the feeling that Arin was experiencing right now, that she couldn’t live or die.

There were some aspects that I didn’t understand.

“Three hours ago..”

“Hey, Mr. Lee… People have a lot of work to do, so I might reply a little late. With only two hours…”

Arin was so depressed that I thought at least five or six hours had passed.

When told that only two hours had passed, Chae-yoon just made an absurd expression.

“No, but that’s right. It was right in the middle of lunch break! During those three hours!”

“Well, well.. if you eat with people, you might not be able to look at your phone.”

Even though he said that, Chaeyoon actually found that part difficult to understand.

‘Usually, when you’re around someone you like, don’t you look at your phone at least once?’

It seemed understandable that Arin was anxious.

“..Anyway, wait a little longer.”

“You’re probably blocked, right?”

“..I don’t know..”

Chae-yoon, who found it difficult to answer easily because there was a part where he did not answer even during lunch, spoke vaguely.

“Ugh.. Oh, really.. Why did I drink yesterday.”

“Look, I should stop drinking, right?”

“Oh, really! Why do you say things like that until times like these!”

Meanwhile, Arin screamed in astonishment at Chae-yoon, who was targeting a niche market and advocating for abstinence from alcohol.

“Oh, anyway, wait a little longer. And instead of being alone, let’s go outside and do something.”

“Huh? I don’t feel like doing anything…”

“But if you really don’t do anything, you’ll just keep having those negative thoughts, right?”

I didn’t want to be eaten by negative emotions.

If possible, Arin also wanted to stop thinking about Seojun.

“Come out quickly. Let’s all play a game together after a long time.”

Although Chae-yoon didn’t enjoy playing games, he knew that moving his body and doing something together was effective in getting rid of the most negative thoughts.

“Let’s connect with ninja and have a good dance. How about it?”

“Umm..”

Arin still seemed to be worried.

“Yes, I wasn’t asking for your opinion. Come out quickly.”

Chae-yoon led Arin by the hand and came out to the living room.

“Ugh.. Then why are you asking?”

“Perhaps out of courtesy.”

Su-ah asked with a sigh of relief after seeing the two of them talking happily together.

“Are you finished talking?”

“Yes, we decided to dance together.”

“Eng..? suddenly…? Dancing..?”

Su-ah, who had no idea about the whole story, looked embarrassed when she was suddenly told that she was dancing.

“NinXdo?”

What solved Su-ah’s concerns was a single word from Na-hyeon.

“Ah, I’m going to do that X-dance!”

“Yes, I think I need to move my body a little.”

Since Su-ah had seen Arin cry earlier, she completely agreed with that opinion and left.

“I’ll connect right away.”

Arin also likes games quite a bit, so when she connected NinXdo and started playing, she was getting used to it quite well compared to the fact that she didn’t want to play.

“Wow, it’s hard since it’s been a while..”

Moving my body wasn’t difficult as I was continuing to take classes and go to the gate.

There were no problems physically either.

However, I felt that it was a bit difficult to match the beat.

“As expected, dance and exercise are different..”

“Chae-yoon unni is a total hit.”

Seeing Arin laughing at Chae-yoon like that, it seemed like she was having less negative thoughts as she was definitely moving her body.

“Honestly, you’re not that good at it either..?”

“Wow, you don’t want to hear that from your sister, do you?”

“How about a round?”

When Chaeyoon provokes you.

“Huh, good. I accept that challenge. Let’s make this for dinner.”

“Hmm, good. I’ll really chew it up.”

Su-a clapped as she watched the two people burning up their competitive spirit.

“Wow, our side is winning! The person who lost is buying us too, right?”

If Su-ah had said that normally, both of them would have said that it was only for those who participated.

“Oh, of course! Arin is ready to buy everything!”

“Wow, what are you talking about? Nahyun unni, Suaya. Chaeyoon wants to buy you something delicious today!”

The two people were so passionate about winning that they didn’t even know what they were talking about.

“Wow! Anyone can win~”

“Fighting.”

Su-a and Na-hyeon were clapping their hands at the thought of getting free soybean soup.

Chaeyun and Arin were busy dancing to death.

That’s how the four people’s holiday afternoon passed.

“…Wow, this is really hard.”

As I continued to increase my bets for hours, I felt myself reaching my physical limits.

In fact, if it were an ordinary person, it should have been kicked out a long time ago.

Since they are both hunters, the fact that they have better physical strength than ordinary people played a part in the continuation of the story.

“Umm, it’s over..?”

While the two were burning the fire, Su-ah, who had been taking a nap on the sofa, woke up rubbing her eyes and asked.

“…Not yet.. It’s really the last minute.”

“..How long has it been since the last minute of that guy’s fight..?”

Su-ah pointed it out as if it was disgusting, but the two people still didn’t seem to hear.

“..Um.. I guess I should sleep some more.”

There was still time left until dinner time anyway.
