Chapter Index

    A sound with a slight sense of urgency passed through the hallway next to the banquet hall.

    As we walked along the sound echoing through the walls, what appeared before our eyes was a balcony-shaped space that had a very different feel from the waiting room we entered earlier.

    “You guys go in first. I’ll stop by somewhere and join you right away.”

    He said he was going to stop by somewhere and come back, but I guess he was thinking of going to the bathroom.

    To be precise, I think it’s an excuse to visit the bathroom, but I guess it’s to buy time to use.

    Well, it wasn’t an hour or two, it was just for a short while, so there was nothing I couldn’t do, so I turned my head to ask for Rahee’s opinion.

    Fortunately, Rahee’s opinion was similar to mine.

    “So. Then.”

    Rahee, who had said that as soon as she caught my attention, opened the closed balcony door and went inside.

    Ari, who had been staring intently at her surroundings with her eyes rolling cutely since a while ago because she didn’t know what was going on between us, as well as the relationship between me, Rahee, and Han Juyeon, naturally followed suit.

    The balcony-shaped space, which I entered last in order, was very warm and different from what I had expected.

    At first, I wondered how it could be so warm when the window was open like that, but when I looked again, I realized that the window wasn’t open, it just looked like it was open because it was a full window.

    “···Phew, ahahahaha-!”

    While I was sinking in my mind the fact that I had just realized, it seems that what I said about my feet getting tired from walking around with Ari and I wasn’t just a comment, as soon as I entered the balcony, I immediately went to the sofa in the middle and sat down. Rahee leaned slightly on the soft-looking sofa and burst into laughter.

    During her time at the gifted education center, the person who was busy picking fights whenever he saw her acted like that as if his tail was on fire, and it seemed like it was extremely funny to Ra-hee.

    “Wow… That laugh just sounded so evil-like.”

    “Oh, what are you saying? It’s really funny. What should I do?”

    “It was definitely… funny.”

    I don’t know what Ra-hee is like, but in my memory, Han Ju-yeon was the arrogant princess herself.

    But seeing a child like that who was so impatient… the corners of my mouth kept itching, regardless of my will.

    “Hing… What is it, you keep talking about things that only the two of you know.”

    “Oh, that’s right. Ari, you don’t know who he is.”

    “After listening closely, it sounds like you’re my brother’s classmate. Is that correct?”

    “What…is it similar? Because he also graduated from a gifted education center like us.”

    “Ah…”

    Ari nodded his head with an expression of understanding for a moment, but then Ari changed his question.

    “But why does such a person become so restless as soon as he sees my brother? Looking at him, he seemed like a pretty high-ranking person…”

    “That’s right…”

    “She confessed to this bastard earlier.”

    “What?!’

    Could it be that I never thought of an answer like that?

    Ari’s mouth opened slightly with a voice that sounded like he was very surprised.

    And then…

    “Well, there’s a 99.9% chance that he didn’t mean it and confessed that he would try to win at least one thing from me.”

    As soon as he heard Rahee’s next words, his expression became very fierce.

    It’s almost like a pissed off Shih Tzu or Chihuahua.

    Obviously, the size itself was not that big, but for some reason, a force emanated from Ari’s body that made the viewer flinch.

    “You mean that? Then you should have scolded me more!”

    “That…Ariya…?”

    “I can’t forgive you… How dare you try to play with my brother… I’m the only one who can play with you…”

    “Ariya…? The words are strange…?”

    The moment Han Ju-yeon showed up again, she must have been trying to calm down Ari, who was screaming as if she was going to attack her.

    I had my phone on vibrate mode just in case it would disturb me during the party, so I set the vibration intensity to the lowest level and it was buzzing in my pocket.

    I stopped calming Ari down for a moment and took out my cell phone from my pocket to check what had arrived… and there was a text message from an unknown number.

    -I have something to say, so if you check the text, please come outside for a moment. Don’t tell Oh Ra-hee.

    As I was looking at the text message that had arrived from the number I had seen for the first time today, Rahee opened her mouth in an annoyed voice.

    “Why? Did you get a text message from Han Joo-yeon?”

    “You’re just a ghost.”

    “Hmph, it’s obvious what he’s thinking.”

    Dealing with both of us at the same time was burdensome in one way or another, so why not try to separate them for now? That was Rahee’s decision.

    I also agreed with that.

    “Anyway, what are you going to do?”

    “Huh? Ah… I think I’ll just pretend to listen for now.”

    Aren’t you honestly curious about that?

    What will happen to Han Joo-yeon, who is cornered?

    So I said something like that, but as soon as I did that, the first thing that flew towards my face was a look filled with suspicion.

    In terms of percentage, about 1%?

    “You don’t think this is strange, do you?”

    “What a strange thought?”

    “What are you planning to do to Han Joo-yeon using this as an excuse…”

    “Are you crazy?”

    To be honest, there are still times when I can’t handle it well and I feel like I’m dying from the burden.

    Adding Han Joo-yeon to this?

    My dick may like it, but my mentality won’t be able to handle it and it will crumble.

    “I’m just curious about what you’re going to say. I’m curious.”

    “Hmm… If that’s the case… Come on. ”

    So I left Ra-hee and Ari on the balcony and escaped to respond to Han Ju-yeon’s call.

    .

    When I came to my senses, I saw Ju-yeon Han standing in front of me, in a trance after being hit by a hypnotic beam.

    ‘Uh, um…’

    How did this happen…?

    Although he said it that way right away, in reality, it was close to force majeure.

    Maybe it was because it was a space prepared for the party host, but there was no one around in the hallway.

    In addition… there’s a woman who pushes me up against the wall and threatens me, and although her eyes are a bit harsh, I can’t help but recognize that she’s a beautiful woman.

    If he endures hypnosis under such perfect conditions, shouldn’t he give up his hypnosis ability early on?

    So I started snapping my fingers without realizing it, and this was the result.

    ‘hmm···.’

    What should I do with this…

    That was the first thought that came to mind.

    And the next thought that came to mind was none other than…

    ‘Of course… Ra-hee and I have different charms…’

    That was it.

    Should I say that he was not considered Rahee’s opponent for no reason during his days at the gifted education center?

    While Ra-hee seemed like a model of a strong woman, Han Joo-yeon seemed a bit dangerous, hiding a strange sexiness.

    Because the seat was there, I had to wear a dress, so I was exposed to a lot of skin.

    ‘There was a mole on your chest…’

    I knew this for the first time… no!

    Really what?

    Maybe it’s a world you enter through a link, but in reality, there were no plans to increase the number of women for the time being.

    However, if I don’t do anything and just leave it like this, there is a high chance that people will think of me as strange due to the gap in memory that occurred while I was in a trance state.

    If that happens, I thought for a moment about the possibility that it would affect Rahee, but then quickly shook my head.

    Since the situation had become like this, it was impossible to even think about doing something that had never happened.

    ‘So why are you snapping your fingers needlessly…!’

    While he was slapping his left hand with his right hand as a rebuke, he began to work hard to write in his head what he wanted to engrave into Han Joo-yeon’s mind.

    If you think about it, Han Joo-yeon… she wanted to win against Ra-hee somehow…

    To a certain extent, it felt like a sense of inferiority at first glance.

    Of course, that’s just a story from my days at the gifted education center, and it may not be at that level now that it’s been almost a few years since I left there… but that doesn’t mean the memories have gone anywhere.

    If so, why not try using it?

    The worry was short-lived.

    When I thought to myself, it seemed close to impossible to think of going further than that in the remaining time.

    so···.

    “From this moment, Han Joo-yeon feels suspicious about Oh Ra-hee’s rapid improvement in her skills as a hunter, but after investigating, she comes to firmly believe that the secret to her skill improvement is related to Yoon Soo-hyun. ”

    I stopped doing it and ended up doing it.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    ‘···Ugh.’

    My head… why is it so blank…

    Did the intoxication from the champagne she occasionally sipped while dealing with each and every person who came to say hello to her start to come back, albeit belatedly?

    I’m thinking that maybe that’s the case…

    “···How on earth did you find out?”

    Somehow, a slightly subdued voice flowed into my ears.

    It was a voice that sounded like someone who was cornered because a secret that shouldn’t be revealed was revealed.
