Although it is late at night, the streets of Jeju Island are still bright.

In the world where I lived, Jeju Island was a place where it quickly got dark as soon as you left the downtown area, but here, Jeju Island was full of daylight in many ways, as it was a place.

“I haven’t been to Jeju Island often, but this place is full of people like that.”

Harang walked with me and pointed with his finger at the crowds of people passing by.

“Look at young college students gathering together and walking around. Everyone is anxious to hunt.”

“Jeju Island is that kind of place.”

In reality, Jeju Island has a similar feeling during the vacation season, but it doesn’t have the feeling of young people flocking around to this extent.

“Look over there. Three Korean men approach a place where foreign women are gathered. No matter how you look at it, it’s hunting, right?”

“I guess so. Both men and women must have come with that intention.”

And above all, with the abundance of guest houses like this, it was not a place where Koreans and foreigners gathered together.

But that’s at least a common sight seen on the streets.

This is what I felt while walking down the street in Harangdo, but the people walking down the street, conscious of their surroundings, disappeared into the building one by one without being revealed to the outside.

To a motel, to a hotel.

“Me too.”

“I’m a little scared since they said they came with the intention of committing an affair.”

“Don’t you think so too? At least you didn’t bring this.”

Harang picked up an object discarded on the floor.

It was packaged like a vitamin candy on the outside, and there was a round object in the middle.

“They say this is the most sold item at convenience stores in Jeju Island.”

“It’s not something you should buy in your suitcase while traveling to Jeju Island.”

“That’s true, but they say the time between buying and using it should be short.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“This is what it sounds like.”

Harang created a small awl with his magic power, and stabbed the center of the vitamin candy with a needle as thin as a syringe needle.

“Be careful, you. Among the women on Jeju Island, there are cases where they drill holes like this.”

“Those are scary words. It reminds me of old American dramas.”

“American drama?”

“Okay. At a party celebrating the victory of American football players, a woman was seducing her with this, and the man’s colleague came and poured beer into it. What do you think happened?”

I drew a balloon in the air with my finger.

“Beer was immediately pouring out in all directions, like water leaking out of a hole in a water balloon.”

“That’s right… Dramas are also made based on reality, so do they reflect reality?”

“They say reality is worse than drama.”

As you walk down the alley, more and more vitamin candies are discarded on the floor.

It’s not that the used things are thrown away, but the unused things are falling away as if they were spilled.

Whirling.

As I was walking with Harang, something spun and fell from the sky.

Three vitamin candies flew like butterflies and fell gently in front of us.

Grumble!

There was the sound of something suddenly closing the window.

“Throwing trash out the window. Isn’t this villain behavior?”

“It could also be seen as a courageous decision to become a patriot. From a woman’s perspective.”

“I suddenly went out on a date and ended up doing environmental sanitation activities.”

“Just leave it alone. Someone who needs it will pick it up. Or maybe…the man comes out of the shower and realizes that he isn’t there, so he comes out to buy it again and finds it.”

The build-up is in full swing and the warm-up is over, but there is no shield?

Then, most of the men rushed forward without shields and with the mindset of “I don’t know.”

“Don’t you need a lot of that? I heard a rumor that there is a man who buys that every night at a convenience store on Sejong Island. With a woman.”

“That woman is just a collaborator to create such rumors.”

Harang’s eyes narrow.

“Hmm, really? You said you buy two cans once a week?”

“Acting is just because we spend that much time together. Because once you disappear, you basically stay at her house for 1 night and 2 days, or 3 nights and 4 days.”

“Using two cans for three days straight?”

“There are times when two cans are not enough.”

It feels like they are interrogating me, as if I am being interrogated right after I committed an affair and right before my girlfriend catches me.

“You should know that better, right?”

“I’m not sure because it’s an alter ego?”

“Then do you want to find out for yourself?”

Pop.

At that moment, Harang and I stopped in front of a building.

A kiosk was shining behind the glass door, with a few glimmers of blue remaining within the grid-patterned structure.

“If you want to confirm, I can confirm for you.”

“It’s self-immolation, are you okay?”

“You said that everything will be shared when you return to the main body later?”

“…Hmm. That’s right. Well, okay. It’s a bit awkward to talk outside, so it might be okay to talk quietly in private.”

Harang went inside before me.

“…….”

And then he hesitated in front of the kiosk.

As if she were someone who had encountered a kiosk for the first time, she started to stumble from the motel entrance.

“Hey, this….”

“I decide.”

I chose a room right away.

When I placed the Taegeuk Watch on the barcode recognition sensor, 200,000 won was immediately taken out and something fell down.

“If you take pictures of Taegeuk Watch, won’t you be caught going out?”

“It’s okay because it’s a watch linked to Daepo Phone.”

“Then is it a cannon watch…?”

“Stop talking nonsense, just follow me. There is no need to carry it separately. Everything will be inside.”

I paid 200,000 won to rent it for one night, but there is a shortage or no items?

Not only will I never come back, but I will leave a bad review.

“Whether it’s a motel or a hotel, do you know what reviews lodging establishments in Jeju Island are most afraid of?”

“The bed is too uncomfortable?”

“Two came and three came out.”

“Well, it must be a very uncomfortable review for people with a certain purpose.”

“That’s right. …here.”

I opened the door with the card key, and as soon as Harang went inside, he immediately threw himself on the bed.

“You lie down before you even insert the card key.”

“Would you like to come in and take a look? It’s awesome.”

“What’s so great about it…ha.”

As soon as I inserted my card key and went inside, my eyes turned white.

“It was a concept hotel.”

“This is my first time seeing a heart-shaped bed.”

“Me too.”

I thought it would be better to just have two beds, but the bed was filled with a white circular mattress inside a heart-shaped red frame.

“Isn’t it enough for two people to lie down?”

“If you had come to sleep comfortably, wouldn’t you have come here?”

“I have nothing to say because it is a straightforward opinion.”

I lay down next to Harang.

“The room is full of hearts, making me dizzy. I feel like I’m in Wonderland.”

“It’s a place where people come to do strange things. It’s a strange country, right? Rather, let me ask you one question.”

Harang poked my side.

“Has there been a flirty girl?”

“There was.”

“Who?”

“Baek Harang, the woman who came to see me even though her plane crashed.”

“Not me.”

“There is. My name is Lisara Lakshmi.”

“…Why that woman?”

Harang’s eyes are half closed.

“I don’t have any contact with you, so why did you lash out at me?”

“He was sitting in first class, then moved over to economy class, and immediately sat down next to me and tried to talk.”

“So, what did you say?”

“A single librarian cannot say anything to a professor who is a powerful figure in the academy.”

“Hmm….”

The finger poking me goes deeper.

“Be honest. Are you a member of the gang?”

“I’m not a gang member.”

“Then does this person know your identity?”

“That’s right.”

“……?”

Harang lifts his upper body and tilts his head.

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s a simple story, no need to think about it complicatedly. Lisara Lakshmi, she is an ally of the alliance. It was through her help that I became a librarian.”

She knows my identity.

But I treated her like a stranger, and she also treated me like she was trying to talk to me for the first time.

Because other people had eyes.

“Did you meet in a place that no one knows? By any chance, the mastermind?”

“No. It’s someone else.”

“…Then, what is she?”

“A desperate collaborator.”

There is nothing special.

He is not affiliated with some other organization, is not a government dog, is not a spy from another country, and is ultimately not a person with special abilities.

“Her identity is….”

* * *

That time.

After unpacking her bags in a hotel suite in Jeju City, Professor Lisa laid down on the sofa and took out her tablet.

“…….”

She was looking at each student’s profile picture.

The way he was carefully examining the screen made him look like he was worried about the future education on Jeju Island, but-

Whilick.

Every time a female student appeared, she mercilessly flipped the screen to the next student’s profile.

“Write it.”

Professor Lisara swallowed her wine and shook her head.

“Ha. If we fail this time too, it’s too late this year… It’s already too late, but it shouldn’t be any later…”

Crackling.

Professor Lisa Ra.

“At least, before I turn 40…!”

It was urgent.

* * *

“She’s just an old maid who receives support from an organization.”

“……”

“I’m just a professor who wants to catch a handsome man and get married quickly. If I had a personal ambition…I would probably be the dean of Sejong Academy.”

Although I acted like there was something there.

“I have a good job, a house, a car, a lot of money, and fame. There is just one.”

“…man?”

“Okay. There is only one purpose for her participation in this training.”

I held hands with Harang.

“They’re trying to lure in a male college student in his early 20s.”
