In fact, Ari and Rahee have an inevitably awkward relationship.

Nevertheless, the reason why the two of us are able to bicker whenever we get the chance, like people who have known each other for about 10 years, is because of the sacrifice of a person called me.

When an awkward atmosphere starts to flow between the two, he immediately jumps in and lightens the mood with a meaningless joke, and when Ari and Rahee’s bickering goes beyond just verbal bickering and becomes an emotional fight, he willingly sacrifices his own body to become the target of arrows. I, who did not hesitate, can be said to be the true unsung hero and guardian of peace of this era.

I call myself an unsung hero, but if this fact had been known to the outside world, the Nobel Committee, which is involved in selecting Nobel Prize winners, would have come to me with the Peace Prize.

However, winning the Peace Prize is not something I can do if I put my mind to it, so there was a situation where even I could not do anything…

It was a situation where a third party intruded.

What if there were only Ari and Rahee next to me?

It was possible to control the situation just by engaging in aggro between the two.

It’s okay if it’s just the two of you… but what if one more person is added?

What if the person who broke in like that is someone I don’t know well and someone I need to keep an eye on to some extent?

Naturally, my activity level had no choice but to decrease.

When my activity level decreased, the awkward atmosphere that I was literally trying to block with my whole body was bound to increase.

Actually, I was concerned about that.

Then, as soon as Eugene left the room for a moment, saying that he would quickly park the car and come back, he turned to look at Rahee.

“What are you thinking?”

“What are you thinking? Even though she’s our cousin, there’s nothing wrong with getting to know her, so we invited her here just to get to know each other?”

“What are you doing?”

If you look at my first impression, I felt like an office worker who was mistakenly hired by a black company and is being split up in real time.

I guess I should say that I felt like I wanted to quit my job and take a break from the shadows under my eyes, but I couldn’t because I had to pay off my student loans.

“Association staff.”

“What?!”

Wasn’t she a poor OL with a face like that and her life force being exploited by a black corporation…?

“If I remember correctly, she would have broken a record?”

“Record? What record?”

“He was probably the youngest team leader…”

It’s because of the bags under his eyes, but if you look at his face, he looks like he’s in his mid to late 20s, but at that age, he’s already serving as a team leader in a large group like an association.

“What exactly do you do at the association?”

Although it was said to be limited to a month, when was the time when I was sneaking glances at the appearance of a stranger as I was living alone, and was I momentarily taken aback by Ari’s sudden push in?

Rahee stopped talking.

“···I’m fine up to that point.”

It wasn’t like that, it was just because I didn’t know.

“You don’t know what you’re doing… You’re not interested in your cousin?”

“No, even if we are cousins, we are both busy with work and we only see each other occasionally, so what should I do?”

“But you only got a flat side dish, right?”

“Wow~ Garbage~”

“This?!”

Could it be that he couldn’t bear the criticism of Ari, who could be considered a competitor even if other people didn’t know it?

Rahee was a little offended by Ari’s playful jeers with his thumb pointing downward.

It was almost at the same time that Eugene, who had left the place for a while to park the car he had driven all the way here, reappeared.

“Sorry, everyone waited a long time, right?”

“No. Sister.”

In a situation where it was just the three of us, I guess it was a bit difficult for me to act according to my personality in the presence of my cousin, who we seemed to be close with but had an awkward relationship with.

When you see a facial expression just like that overlaid on the face.

A total of four people, including Rahee’s cousin who suddenly joined us, set out on a journey to a snack bar.

*****

‘What, weren’t you two dating…?’

That’s what I thought when I first encountered the target.

Ra-hee, who, unlike most girls of her age who were naturally interested in dating and sexual matters, had built a wall around men, suddenly brought a man into the house, so I thought they were dating.

Although the exact identity has not been ascertained yet, it seemed like it was a mistake to see that there was one more woman instead of just the two of them.

Also, seeing that the girl who is either Ari or something sticks next to the target the whole time and doesn’t leave, it seems that the person dating the target may not be Rahee, but rather…

The moment my thoughts reached that point, I muttered to myself.

It’s not bad, I say.

If the target had really been Ra-hee’s boyfriend, my conscience would have been pricked in one way or another, but if not, I felt like I could have committed it without any hesitation.

‘But you never know…’

Should I at least confirm it?

I quietly closed my eyes and opened them.

Then, a completely different scene than before I closed my eyes began to appear in my eyes.

There were threads everywhere.

The source of the threads that instantly filled the place like that was none other than the tops of people’s heads.

Except for the head of the talent management department, who is her immediate superior, this is a talent that few people within the association know of its existence.

The secret that allowed her to rise to the position of team leader in the talent management department, a key department within the association, at such a young age has begun to show its power once again at this moment.

Well… it’s a scenery I can’t get used to no matter when I see it.

Red, blue, pink, brown, dark red and so on.

There was something about the landscape filled with colorful threads that overwhelmed the viewer.

Thanks to this, I almost lost my mind again, but I was able to come to my senses by remembering my goal.

‘Okay then…’

Would you like to take a look?

What exactly is the relationship between the three of you?

Of course, it is close to impossible to completely understand the relationship between people with only ‘thread’… but still, you can get a rough estimate by looking at the colors.

This is because the color of the thread varies depending on the type of emotion the owner of the thread has toward the person it is connected to.

In that sense, Rahee seemed to have feelings for the target.

The proof was that the thread protruding from the top of Rahee’s head and connected to the target was pink.

It’s even this deep pink…

‘I heard that the two of you were dating when you were living at a gifted education center or something…’

Could it be that it has been ongoing since then?

Just a little bit, my conscience became sore again.

The reason I deliberately turned my eyes away from Rahee’s direction was because I found it difficult to bear the pain.

And I ended up witnessing it from the place I ran away from.

Another pink thread started from the top of the head of the girl named Ari and was connected to the target’s body.

‘A love triangle…?! It’s even darker…!’

What was surprising was that this side was also quite dark in color.

It was so thick that even though she had seen countless threads since awakening to this talent, she had never seen anything this thick before.

Is it because I saw a rare sight?

It was just a little while ago that my conscience started to tingle, but it suddenly became a little more interesting.

Well, in this case, the important thing is the target’s ‘thread’ that is connected to the bodies of those two people…

It’s truly been a long time.

My heart is pounding so hard because of the sense of immorality that comes from the fact that I am freely looking into other people’s emotions.

It must have been the moment when I felt my heart rising and focused my gaze on the target.

‘···???’

A completely different landscape than what I had expected came into view.

What are those…threads that look black rather than dark red?

Those things were wrapping around the target’s body.

There was such a large amount of thread that it felt strange that I had not noticed it until now.

What’s even more strange is that if you follow the thread, you will naturally come across the main body, which is the ‘rule’ of her awakened talent, but even if you follow them, you can’t find the main body.

It was her first time seeing this scenery.

To take a closer look at it, I activated my talent even more…

Jjiing-!

“Ugh…?!”

Suddenly I had a headache.

At the same time, what started ringing in my ears was…

-Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine…

It was a voice that sent shivers down my spine just by hearing it.

No, can we really include this in the category called ‘voice’?

Is this even creepier than the sound you make when you scratch your fingernails across a blackboard?

Just like when I first realized this talent, I felt pain in my eyes.

I couldn’t stand it and fell down on the spot.

“Augh…”

“Sister?! Are you okay?”

“It’s okay…”

Actually, it wasn’t okay at all.

When I turned off the talent that had been activated, the pain stopped, but the tingling sensation that took over my eyes was still there.

“Is this really okay? Your face is so pale… Don’t you need to go to the emergency room?”

“Not to that extent. I just felt a little dizzy for a moment…”

“Ugh… That’s because I just work without eating.”

I thought to myself, feeling the tingling sensation that remained like an afterimage.

That man is dangerous.

So we have to somehow ‘control’ it.

And Eugene’s pledge soon leads to action.

“Hey? Don’t just listen, say something. Isn’t it a bit awkward to be older than your date?”

‘No, a sudden confession attack here…?’

Su-hyeon fell into extreme confusion!
