Chapter Index

    Yoo Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin leave for the hotel pool, leaving the rest of the room.

    “Like this. This is how you do it. What do you think? Is it fun?”

    “… … No.”

    Seo Ye-rin was teaching a game to Choi Yi-seo, who was lying in bed.

    The game she’s been playing lately is a collectible RPG, but since it requires some control, Choi Yi-seo has been having a hard time keeping up.

    “That’s because you can’t do it, Isseo. How can you kill one slime by swinging your sword in the air more than ten times?”

    “That’s because the child is too far away.”

    “Is the keypad just for decoration? Just go forward.”

    “Ahem, it’s harder to operate than I thought.”

    “How did you have sex yesterday when you couldn’t even move your fingers?”

    “T-Tell me to stop saying that!”

    All she does is ask me how was sex yesterday, and it’s killing me from Choi Yi-seo’s perspective.

    Even though I want to run away, my legs hurt so much that I can’t move.

    It was a time when I started to hate Woojin Kim, who ran away to the swimming pool alone while we had fun together.

    “Okay, Lee Seo. Try again. This is the click.”

    “I want to stop.”

    Although she was tempted to play the game because it featured cute characters, honestly, the game didn’t suit Choi Yi-seo.

    “Just sitting there tapping away at my phone is hard for me, given my personality.”

    “So yesterday you were in a passionate mood?”

    “Seriously, stop it!”

    Eventually, Choi Yi-seo couldn’t hold it in any longer and attacked Seo Ye-rin. Since they were both lying face down, she had the advantage of rushing in first, but she was quickly subdued because she had no strength in her lower body.

    “Ugh.”

    “The story of Choi Yi-seo’s victory is revealed.”

    Seo Ye-rin is acting cocky while riding on top of Choi Yi-seo.

    Choi Jin-ah, who was sitting on the sofa blankly watching the two bickering, blurted out a word.

    “You guys are so amazing.”

    “Huh?”

    “… … .”

    “No, that’s right. Sharing a guy you like. It’s not really common sense.”

    When I first heard the story, I thought that was true. Because the Kim Woo-jin I knew was beyond common sense, and that was why I was drawn to him as a child.

    But when I actually looked at it this way, I began to wonder how this precarious relationship could be maintained.

    Even though Kim Woo-jin spent the night with Choi Yi-seo yesterday, Seo Ye-rin is playing around with Choi Yi-seo as if nothing happened.

    “That’s what happens when you date someone with common sense.”

    Choi Yi-seo let out a deep sigh while lying underneath Seo Ye-rin.

    “There are people like that. People who lead the people around them to their own flow.”

    For example, Oh Yoon-ji was like that, and so was Kim Woo-jin.

    “Because we’re together, this is what I should do. At first, I really thought I couldn’t die… … But as we got older, this is just how it turned out.”

    “Are you okay?”

    “I do get jealous. But when I see him doing things he likes, those feelings naturally go away.”

    Choi Yi-seo laments to herself that she ended up liking a ridiculous person.

    Choi Jin-ah still found it difficult to understand and accept.

    He moves on, thinking about how he was swayed by his irrational behavior when he was in elementary school and that he was his first love.

    “If I’m not here, Woojini will die!”

    Seo Ye-rin, who had been keeping her mouth shut, suddenly raises her hand and wiggles her hips.

    “Cough!”

    Choi Yi-seo, who was lying down, groans in pain, but he ignores her and continues talking.

    “But even if Seo-na and A-rin aren’t here, they’ll die! That’s why I accept them! Because the person I love can’t die!”

    “It’s harder to understand. Isn’t it okay if it’s not Woojin?”

    Since Jinah Choi had already overcome her first love once, she spoke based on her experience.

    “That’s because it can’t be otherwise. When you’re with Woojin, your true self eventually comes out, whether you want it or not.”

    “Please, get down!”

    “I love that. It’s just that you accept me no matter what I look like!”

    Isn’t Seo Ye-rin’s actions and remarks that crossed the line because of things like that?

    Rather, it seemed like Choi Jin-ah had been trained incorrectly.

    ‘It lets you see your true self.’

    It was difficult to deny it entirely.

    Thanks to Woojin Kim at the last class reunion, I was able to see a different side of myself, and the changes that came with that are continuing calmly.

    Change people.

    That was something that even Choi Jin-ah agreed with.

    Whether it was intentional or not.

    “But.”

    Oh Yoon-ji, who had been watching TV with her mouth shut until now, glances at him and asks.

    “Why are you even speaking formally to Woojin? You two are classmates.”

    When she asked if it was okay since they were somewhat distant anyway, but Kim Woo-jin was her classmate, Choi Jin-ah answered awkwardly.

    “We met again on the blind date, right? At that time, Woojin didn’t remember me.”

    Since the topic of blind dates itself might not be a very pleasant one for the people here, Choi Jin-ah spoke quickly, trying to get past it quickly.

    “So we weren’t elementary school classmates, we just met once and ended up like that.”

    That’s why it was possible to stay like this. And that’s why I didn’t say anything.

    Choi Jin-ah thought that now was the perfect time.

    Now is the time when Woojin Kim becomes a breakwater until he changes.

    That is, until a few minutes later, when I received a phone call from home.

    “Father… …? What did he say?”

    – You collapsed.

    The moment she heard her mother’s words, Jinah Choi got up from her seat without realizing it.

    “Why? All of a sudden? Are you seriously ill?”

    – No, that’s not it. There’s no health problem, but you just suffered a bit of a mental shock?

    “Huh? Mental shock?”

    I was wondering why someone with a stronger mentality and stubbornness than anyone else was like that.

    What followed was a reprimand from his mother.

    – So Jin-ah, you’re getting older, so… … it’s okay to enjoy it, but don’t enjoy it too much.

    “Huh? What?”

    – Ahem, do you really need me to explain it to you?

    What my mother explained afterward was so shocking that it was hard to believe.

    The moment Jinah Choi hung up the phone, she felt her whole body tremble.

    A shame that cannot be described in words.

    At the same time, I remembered what Seo Ye-rin had just said.

    “It does make a difference.”

    Can’t we agree with the saying that people change?

    “Huh, huh huh… … .”

    Jinah Choi’s life could be described as tranquil.

    It is said that although he was trapped within the invisible fence of his father, he lived a safe and smooth life.

    She always hoped and believed that it was possible to resolve problems through peaceful dialogue with others.

    Because everyone I’ve ever met, including myself, falls into the category of intellectuals.

    So it was a first in many ways.

    “This, you little shit.”

    I have never used such harsh language before.

    There have been times when I wanted to beat people to death.

    * * *

    “Kim Woo-jieee!”

    “Wait a minute! Wait a minute!”

    Choi Jin-ah’s form as she entered the pool made me think she was a diver.

    She jumped straight in and showed off her swimming skills, which she had developed through early education.

    What I’m saying is that you can tell what the situation is just by looking at it.

    It was incredibly scary to see her, who was usually quiet and gentle, rushing at me as if possessed by a ghost.

    They were running away while swimming, but to those around them, it looked like a couple was having fun, so they were laughing out loud.

    “Aum, let’s drink!”

    In particular, that girl, Yoo Ah-rin, is savoring the oven-baked pizza all by herself.

    Is it true that he really likes me?

    I question our love.

    Anyway, no matter how big a swimming pool is, it’s still a swimming pool.

    As you enter the pool, Choi Jin-ah is farther away from the entrance, so now you just need to get out of the pool and shake her off.

    I thought I could just swim straight out of the pool and get out.

    “Catch, got it.”

    She had been following me underwater, and before I knew it, she was grabbing my ankle.

    “Ah.”

    On my way out, I was pulled back into the pool.

    From then on, Choi Jin-ah’s strong resentment exploded.

    “Because of you, I-!”

    “Poohak! Poohak!”

    “Bad guy-!”

    I was water tortured several times, being dragged into the water with my hair held.

    Choi Jin-ah finally lets go of me, as if her strength has been exhausted. As I am catching my breath, lying down, she is holding my face with both hands from behind.

    “What are you going to do about this! What on earth should I tell my father? Was it all a misunderstanding? But I sent you the pictures! Do you believe me?”

    “Ouch, oh! Ah, Arin! Pull me in.”

    Finally, Yoo Ah-rin came to me and grabbed my hand, pulling me as if she had finished eating her pizza.

    “Woojin, should we order another plate? This is smaller than I thought?”

    “It’s you, not us. Since you ate it all by yourself.”

    Ouch, I almost lost.

    After trying to catch my breath while sitting down in front of the pool, I look at Choi Jin-ah.

    It was a sad sight to see only confusion and chaos filling his head.

    “Well, for now.”

    I need to somehow find a positive way to look at the situation, so I try to think of the best things I can think of.

    “Congratulations on becoming an adult.”

    I was so confused that I had to run away before it came rushing back at me.

    * * *

    “Where is Jin-ah?”

    As I look around and ask, Yu Ah-rin is still lying on the sunbed, humming.

    “You’re going to the sauna? I want to go somewhere and collect my thoughts.”

    “Oh, I bought you a drink.”

    Then I should drink two.

    He stares at me intently as I sit down next to him drinking a beverage.

    “What did you do yesterday?”

    “Ahem, that was a mistake. An unintentional mistake.”

    “Oh my, you’ve been acting like this for a day or two. Now I don’t even care.”

    “It’s a bit weird that you believe it that way.”

    “Okay, so… …you’re going to spend today with me?”

    “Huh?”

    I thought it was a very random question, but when I saw Yoo Ah-rin slightly turn her head, it seemed like that was her true intention.

    If Choi Jin-ah hadn’t come, the atmosphere would have been like that naturally.

    Did he start to appeal so blatantly once the mood was broken?

    “No?”

    Yoo Ah-rin staring intently.

    What a strangely exciting question.

    That’s why I strangely wanted to tease him.

    “No? I did too much yesterday, so I’m tired.”

    “You’re saying you want to lose in a pretty unique way, you son of a bitch.”

    I also stand up again, following Yua Rin who just got up.

    “Oh, I’m kidding. Stop this habit of raising your hand first whenever you do something.”

    “Whew, hey. I think you’re mistaken.”

    Yoo Ah-rin’s gaze was filled with annoyance.

    “Mr. Who the hell has three women? You can just take turns.”

    “That’s a bit vulgar.”

    “Did I say something wrong? But we have one fucking tail so we’re sharing it?”

    “… … .”

    Suddenly, I became a pig who got turned around.

    “Even if you solve it once a day, we solve it once every three days.”

    “Ah.”

    I understand what you are trying to say.

    So in a word.

    “You’re saying you’re horny because you haven’t done it in a long time?”

    “What the fuck, you little shit, you’re talking so fucking vulgarly.”

    “And then.”

    I tried to answer correctly, but I’m wondering if it’s wrong.

    Yoo Ah-rin approached me with brisk strides and answered me by banging her forehead against my chest as if she was headbutting me.

    “Right now, fuck… … I’m horny.”

    You can’t see it when looking down, but judging by the redness in his ears, he seems to be burning.

    “You little shit, you said you work out these days, but you’re strangely sexy-.”

    He hugged Yua Rin tightly as she started to say something more and headed out of the pool.

    “Let’s go, Arin! Let’s go! Let’s go quickly!”

    “Hey, hey! Wait a minute! I haven’t even gotten into the pool yet-!”

    Even though he was yelling something, I was already dragging him to the room.

    * * *

    “Woojin and Arin? They went back first?”

    Choi Jin-ah, who had enjoyed the sauna to the fullest and felt calm again, answered while drying her hair with a towel.

    At first, I thought Min Joo-hee was out of place.

    Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo, who were lying in bed together, opened their mouths at the same time.

    “I’m having sex.”

    “Haa, how long has it been?”

    Min Joo-hee jumped up at the answer.

    It was already difficult because I had to try to cover it up when reporting to the vice president today.

    I couldn’t cross the line here again.

    “Since I’m doing it in the afternoon now, does that mean I’m in the evening?”

    “… … Can Woojin do that? Was there such a thing as order in the first place?”

    “Huh? You weren’t? That’s why I don’t bother you. If you bother me while I’m doing this, I’ll kill you all.”

    “Don’t be serious, it’s scary.”

    Seo Ye-rin’s ominous warning could be heard from the side, but Min Joo-hee ignored it and went straight out of the room.

    Thump thump thump!

    I knocked on Kim Woo-jin’s door.

    “Woojin-ahhh! Please! Woojin-ahhh!”

    A few minutes later.

    Kim Woo-jin came out, drenched in sweat and wearing a disheveled gown.

    “Ugh! Ugh! Yes, yes? Why are you doing that?”

    “Oh, please!”

    A dizzying sight.

    Doesn’t it look like you can tell what he was doing just by looking at him?

    “Nose, condom! You used a condom? It’s not too much, is it?”

    “Ah… … .”

    Kim Woo-jin slightly avoids eye contact.

    “Why! Why! I gave you more! I put it in your room separately!”

    “Oh, of course! I wrote that. Yes… I did.”

    Just look at him dawdling around.

    “Jebaaal! Woojin! How many times have I asked you! Didn’t I tell you not to? You can do it! But you have to do it!”

    Min Joo-hee doesn’t hesitate to make statements that she wouldn’t normally make.

    It was that desperate for her.

    He himself did not come here to play, but to work.

    A trip to Hawaii was a luxury she couldn’t afford on her salary.

    The sense of mission that the work must be done clearly worth the cost excited Min Joo-hee.

    “Wear a condom! It’s essential! Haa, if you keep doing this, how can I trust you?”

    “Ahem, sorry.”

    “The reason the Vice President sent me here-!”

    “Oh, shit!”

    At that moment, Yu Ah-rin’s nervous voice was heard from inside the room.

    Likewise, Yoo Ah-rin, who was wearing a white gown, had her hair untied, unlike usual, and her face was red and disheveled.

    His temper was still the same.

    Especially because I was so angry that I was interrupted from enjoying the time I had enjoyed for a long time.

    “If it bothers you that much, come in and see for yourself! Oh, shit, I’ll show you! Whether we’re wearing it or not!”

    He made some remarks that were somewhat out of the ordinary.

    “… … Yes?”

    Thanks to that, Min Joo-hee spoke politely to her junior for the first time in her life.
