The old gym in Building A. Now, it is a cozy haven for the two of them, just like their newlywed home.

Jin Ye-seo, sitting next to the man, was explaining the situation that had just occurred.

“… Senior Baek Seo-yeon found out about us? ”

“Yeah.”

Jin Ye-seo nodded gloomily.

Her appearance was reflected in the mirror in the training room.

At least the clothes weren’t damaged, but the problem was the hair.

‘I put so much effort into it…’

I wondered if he would like it, if it would suit his taste. I spent hours and hours worrying all night, but it was all gone in a mess before I could show it to him.

It was so regrettable that I even felt resentful towards Baek Seo-yeon.

Perhaps it was an expression of that feeling that he left her in the hallway and followed the man.

“But you’re not going to use magic on your juniors like that… ”

“I guess that means you felt that much betrayed… ”

The man who heard her words also looked distressed.

“But why earlier…? I think it would have been better to just ask for forgiveness.”

Jin Ye-seo felt as if her heart was being stabbed for a moment.

“Isn’t that counterproductive?”

“Okay. You are my precious person too.”

Jin Ye-seo shook her head.

“I did it because I didn’t want to lie to myself anymore. There’s nothing I can do about it now… ”

Jin Ye-seo had a bitter smile on her face.

To some extent, it was a statement that was half truth and half lies.

I really don’t want to lie to myself.

However, Baek Seo-yeon did not mention the fact that the two were not ‘friends’ but ‘fiancees’ and that she had romantic feelings for the man.

Baek Seo-yeon’s wrong feelings were a burden she had to bear entirely on her own.

At least that’s what Jinyeseo thought.

Of course, the reason for the silence couldn’t be something as trivial as ‘I don’t want him to know about the existence of a potential competitor.’

Jin Ye-seo shook her head and shook off her gloom.

Then she looked at the man and opened her mouth, trying to look cheerful.

“Still, it’s nice to see you after such a long time, right?”

“… Okay.”

He nodded, but his expression seemed lukewarm. Or perhaps he seemed reluctant to see her.

‘You’re still embarrassed after seeing me for the first time in a week? Well, that’s just how I was originally…’

That point was a little strange, but Jin Ye-seo ignored it as nothing serious.

Right now, I feel like I want to focus more on my conversation with him.

“But how did you end up there?”

“I was on my way to the training room. But then I heard a loud noise downstairs… ”

“You always show up when I’m in trouble. You did that back then too. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to trick me? ”

“What? No way… ”

The man shook his head in disbelief at Jin Ye-seo’s joke. Just seeing the faint smile on his lips made his face flush as if he had a fever.

‘I’m really sick… I told you not to like me too much… I’m always being held captive… What can I do…?’

At that time, Jin Ye-seo was feeling resigned, not resigned.

The boy who was looking at her said as if he remembered something.

“That’s right. Just wait a minute.”

“Huh… ?”

The man who had disappeared somewhere brought a rectangular iron box and handed it to Jin Ye-seo after a while.

“Take it.”

“What, what is this…?”

Jin Ye-seo, who had accepted it in a fluster, asked in bewilderment. It was quite heavy and difficult to lift with one hand.

The boy answered her question as if it was nothing.

“Gift.”

“What?!”

Unlike him who was calm, Jin Ye-seo was shocked and startled.

“What, what is this… A gift all of a sudden… ”

She looked back and forth between the man and the box with her eyes wide open. Her heart was filled with overwhelming happiness at the unbelievable reality. Her face was burning hot because she was so excited.

Jin Ye-seo, who let out a shaky voice without realizing it, asked with a tone full of anticipation.

“Hey, can I open it now…?”

“That’s what I brought you.”

Jin Ye-seo’s hand was already opening the box before the man could finish speaking.

Soon, when the giant saw-like blade inside was revealed, Jin Ye-seo let out an exclamation of admiration.

“E-2 Bravery…!”

It wasn’t that hard to figure out what it was. I had already been familiar with the catalogs of blade manufacturing companies.

She had already been thinking about having her own blade. The cradle’s ceremonial blade wasn’t bad, but it was also true that it lacked many aspects that allowed her to fully display her talents.

In the midst of all this, I couldn’t help but be happy when I finally got my hands on a top-of-the-line product that I had really wanted.

Even more so when you think about who handed it to you.

Jin Ye-seo turned her head towards him with bright eyes.

“Jin, seriously…? Can you give me something this good…?”

“I got it as a prize for winning a social tournament, but it wasn’t really of much use to me.”

“Because Marvelous is here?”

“Uh. It doesn’t match my style, it’s too big to keep, and I’m not in a position to get rid of it either.”

“That’s right. Braver is made by your S&C… ”

“Anyway… that’s it.”

He said it a little awkwardly.

“I thought it would suit your style. That’s why I brought it… But if you don’t like it, just give it back.”

The sight of her timid body being so cute made Jinye burst out laughing.

She regained her composure and opened her mouth in a playful voice.

“What if I say I don’t like it?”

“I’ll have to think about it again later. But… Are you really going to give it back to me?”

“What? Puhut… ”

Jin Ye-seo, who saw the embarrassment that couldn’t be hidden, smiled again.

Before I knew it, the bad memories from earlier had long since dispersed. A warm breeze filled their place.

Her ticklish heart kept urging her. To throw herself into his arms and embrace him, then open her lips and whisper her love, and this time, to explore his mucous membrane instead of his forehead.

I was even more delighted that it was not a delusion but was actually becoming a reality.

‘Hey, maybe she likes me too…?’

Otherwise, he would not have made up excuses and given me such a gift.

‘Well, that makes sense… It’s not common for someone as pretty as me to have a good personality…’

Moreover, since they spent several days in the same room and even overcame the crisis of death together, it is only natural that something would come out of nowhere.

Jin Ye-seo couldn’t help but laugh bashfully, thinking that the plan to take him down might be happening sooner than expected.

“… How could that be possible?”

Before she knew it, Jin Ye-seo’s cheeks were flushed with a bright blush.

“Thank you so much. I’ll use it well… ”

Even so, it was extremely embarrassing and embarrassing to open my mouth and express my gratitude directly.

Even more so if the person you like is someone of the opposite sex.

This also seemed to be the case for those receiving gratitude.

“… Okay. What’s the point of thanking me for something like this? Write it well.”

“… Yeah. Hehe… ”

The man, who was scratching his head shyly, seemed to still have something to say.

He hesitated as he looked at Jin Ye-seo, who was smiling brightly and with joy.

“Hey, and you know… ”

“Huh, huh?”

The man’s unusual attitude made even Jinyeseo tense up. Her head continued to spin violently.

The appearance that seemed like a savior, the sudden gift barrage, and the hesitation that followed.

And after considering the circumstances, there was only one conclusion she could come to.

‘Huh, maybe a confession…?!’

“Ah, ahh… ”

Jin Ye-seo let out a sharp groan without realizing it. She was completely flustered because she had not prepared at all.

No matter what, it was too sudden. Still, I thought we needed a few days to get to know each other better.

‘Am I that good…? Well, I am good, but… sigh…’

I couldn’t come to my senses. But when I thought about it, it wasn’t such a bad thing. I liked that drive that didn’t care about the future or the future even more.

“Well, wait a minute… ”

But eventually, when she decided to accept her fate.

The words that came out of the man’s mouth were a completely unexpected and calm declaration.

“I think we should stop meeting and sparring like this.”

“Oh, I can’t help it. If that’s what you feel… What?”

Jin Ye-seo, who recalled the sound, asked blankly. She thought she had misheard, but the man’s attitude was still calm.

And the words that followed were like a bolt from the blue.

“I have a girlfriend.”

***

The excitement in my heart suddenly cooled down. The blush on my face disappeared and I turned pale.

It was too shocking and treacherous a declaration to just listen to. Of course, I am not the type of person who would shy away from making bad jokes.

Jin Ye-seo barely opened her lips and asked in a trembling voice.

“What, what, what happened…?”

“Girlfriend.”

Unlike her, the man was still calm. As if he was just stating an obvious truth.

Jin Ye-seo was finally able to figure out why he had been lukewarm all day.

“Who, who are you?”

“Senior Yeonminha. You know? My mentor. ”

Of course, there was no way I didn’t know.

“That… It just happened that way.”

“That, that… That’s right… ”

“That’s right. Do you know Min-ha’s personality? If you see us like this, you might get hurt. So let’s stop training now. The training room in Building B was also repaired a while ago… ”

“Ah, no…!!”

While the man was continuing to speak, Jin Ye-seo unconsciously shouted and covered his mouth.

And unlike her, who seemed to be in a state of shock, the man tilted his head as if he was puzzled.

“… I just told you. You never know what might happen… ”

“That, that’s not right! Absolutely not!!”

Jin Ye-seo shook her head desperately. She was so desperate that she looked like she could grab onto his trouser leg and hang on.

The male student gave her a questioning look.

“… Why doesn’t it work?”

“That, that’s right… ”

Jin Ye-seo stuttered. It was a moment when she had to be extremely careful.

I was shaking with a sense of betrayal. My vision was blurry from the shock.

After giving me so much room, he now shamelessly says he’s dating another woman.

I wondered if he was really worth the price. It was heartbreaking that he had been gone for only a few days and had been hit with such a bombshell.

‘What, what is this…?’

She gritted her teeth as she recalled the compassion. It was as if a thieving cat had snatched away the well-prepared fish.

But what I resented the most was that I couldn’t let him go in the midst of all this and was desperately trying to hold on to him.

In the current situation, this training room was the only thing that connected him to himself.

And if you miss that one, you’ll never have a chance to make up for your mistake.

“So… ”

However, he had already declared that he had a girlfriend. Confessing his feelings to someone like that too late would only have the opposite effect.

‘What should I do… What should I do…!’

But before Jin Ye-seo could even think of an answer, the male student seemed to have noticed her strange behavior as well.

“… Hey.”

He asked while looking at the book of truth.

“Can I ask you something?”

“What, what is it…?”

Jin Ye-seo swallowed hard and asked. An ominous feeling was creeping up on her.

The man who had been hesitating and taking his time finally opened his mouth.

“… You’re here. Do you like me?”
