It was the next day after I met Shin Si-woo.

As I was preparing to return to my dorm after finishing a music show like always, my manager approached me hesitantly.

“Uh, Yerin?”

“Yes, brother.”

“Well… someone asked me to give you my phone number.”

“What’s my phone number?”

Asking for a manager’s phone number wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.

Because many idols have already asked for my phone number and that of our Rookies members to get to know each other.

but….

“Yes, please. But who are you?”

“This is Shin Si-woo from Black Night… .”

“… … !”

As soon as I realized that the person who asked for my phone number was Shin Si-woo, I couldn’t help but pause.

“Huh?!”

“What does that mean?”

“Namdol asked Yerin unnie for her phone number?”

The other members who were listening to their manager’s story from the side also started to make a fuss when they heard that.

Until now, only female idols of the same sex have asked for our phone numbers.

“No!!”

“Never give it to me!!”

“What do you think you’ll do by seducing innocent Yerin unnie!”

And the members ran straight to me, covered my eyes and ears, and hugged me.

I’ve felt this way since last time… Whenever I’m with the members, I feel like I’m the youngest daughter of a rich family.

Am I that unattractive…?

Anyway, I stepped forward to calm down the excited members and spoke to them.

“… Everyone, calm down. I never intended to give you my number.”

“Really… ?”

“Yes.”

When looking at it with the special skill called Cheonmasi (天魔視), Shin Si-woo was the very definition of a malicious stalker.

There was no way I would give my number to that crazy guy.

So I calmed down the members and spoke firmly to my manager.

“Manager Oppa. I don’t plan on giving you my number, so please tell that to him.”

“Okay, I got it. If something like this happens again, I’ll take the lead and cut it off.”

Manager Oppa nodded seriously, probably thinking that it wasn’t right to exchange contact information with male idols.

So the commotion over Shin Si-woo’s phone number ended quickly.

But I couldn’t help but wonder.

‘In his previous life, Shin Si-woo was clearly obsessed with Eugene…?’

Since people can’t suddenly change, I thought that Shin Si-woo would be obsessed with Seo Yu-jin like he was in his past life.

But why did you ask for my phone number and not Seo Yu-jin’s?

‘Are you trying to approach Eugene through me?’

… it was worth it.

Shin Si-woo, who saw Seo Yu-jin for the first time yesterday… reacted as if he had fallen in love at first sight.

He had no idea how he, who had fallen for Seo Yu-jin, would try to harass her in this life.

So I vowed to protect Seo Yu-jin from Shin Si-woo’s evil schemes.

And the next day… .

“Hello?”

“… … .”

Shin Si-woo strangely appeared wherever I went and was anxious because he couldn’t say hello to me.

‘what…?’

He doesn’t even give Seo Yu-jin a glance and only looks at me.

I responded to Shin Si-woo with indifference and hid Seo Yu-jin behind me.

Of course, I thought he had approached me with the intention of targeting Seo Yu-jin.

however….

The next day too… .

“Hello?”

The next day too… .

“Yerin, why did you block my profile?”

Even when I went to the bathroom for a moment without the other members present… .

“Why am I seeing you here like this?”

Shin Si-woo came to see me.

Even I, who had been ignoring him until then, was so flustered at that moment that I couldn’t help but open my mouth.

“… This is in front of the women’s bathroom. Is this a coincidence?”

“I thought it was a men’s room.”

“The men’s bathroom is on the other side?”

“I was mistaken.”

Shin Si-woo was an idol who debuted n years ago and had already shed his rookie label.

There was no way that Shin Si-woo, who had been there dozens of times, would not have known the location of the bathroom at the broadcasting station.

Fight.

I felt goosebumps run down my body and tried to ignore him again.

however….

widely.

He grabbed my wrist as I was trying to pass by.

Kwak.

“… … !”

This guy… has really strong grip.

I tried to shake off Shin Si-woo and go, but I couldn’t help but stop because of his grip that was so strong it made my wrists hurt.

Unfortunately, there was no one passing by this place.

“Yerin… . It’s been weird since day one. Did I do something wrong?”

In the hallway where there were only two of us, Shin Si-woo asked me with cold eyes, his friendly smile disappearing as if he too was a little annoyed.

“Why are you blocking me when someone approaches me first? What did I do wrong?”

“… Is there a reason why you don’t like people?”

“Ha.”

And then, when I still maintained my stubborn attitude, he muttered in a barely audible voice.

“… How do I fix this piece of shit?”

I could feel it at that moment.

If you simply wanted to meet Seo Yu-jin through me, you wouldn’t have gone this far.

Above all… .

‘Ugh, my thigh is bleeding right now… . I shouldn’t add more… .’

‘I, I’ll stop the bleeding myself. … … with my own hands.’

The eyes of Shin Si-woo looking at me now….

At that time, it was similar to Namgung Suho’s eyes.

So, I opened Shin Si-woo’s status window, convinced that my thoughts up until now were wrong.

and….

[Trait: Stalker – Your love is wrong. What you think is love is suffering and violence to the other person. You can do anything for the person you love, even if it goes beyond the boundaries of what the law allows.]

[Trait Effect: Black Love – If there is someone you are interested in, you become extremely obsessed with that person. Once you have decided on a person to be obsessed with, you feel a sense of satisfaction as if you own the world, but also a burning thirst. *Obsessed Object: Hayerin]

“… … .”

I could see that something had changed.

*Obsessed with: Ha Ye-rin

You said before that you didn’t have an object of obsession, but this time my name is written on it.

This unprincipled brat must have turned his gaze toward me this time, unlike his previous life.

With this, I felt relieved that Seo Yu-jin was free from that guy… .

“If you keep doing that, I’ll get mad too. If you don’t like me, you should at least tell me why. Okay?”

I couldn’t help but feel fear at the sight of Shin Si-woo.

Kook.

I keep applying force but it doesn’t move.

Swish.

“Yerin, please say something.”

Meanwhile, Shin Si-woo lifted his other hand and slowly stretched it towards my body.

So I… .

‘Ugh, my thigh is bleeding right now… . I shouldn’t add more… .’

‘I, I’ll stop the bleeding myself. … … with my own hands.’

I glared at the guy fiercely, the trauma surfacing in my head again.

“If you look at me so cutely, my heart will only flutter. Tell me why you’ve been ignoring me all this time.”

As he spoke, Shin Si-woo’s eyes seemed to have already turned halfway.

‘I was ignoring it because I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it…’

If we leave it alone, who knows what he might do to Seo Yu-jin in his past life.

It was at that time that I was wondering if I should deal with him first.

“Yerin, why aren’t you like this… , … !”

When I turned around at the sudden interruption of a voice, there was Yoo Seol, who seemed to have come out to greet me.

When she saw me being held by Shin Si-woo’s wrist, her face hardened rapidly… .

Thud thud.

Crack-!!

“… … !”

She made Shin Si-woo release her grip on my wrist by hitting the back of my hand, then pulled me to hide behind her.

“What is this…!”

Shin Si-woo glared at Yoo Seol while holding the back of his reddened hand, as if it had hurt a lot since Yoo Seol had suddenly struck him.

“What the hell are you doing?”

But Yoo Seol did not give in to his evil gaze and accepted his words.

“What are you doing? What were you doing, senior? What were you doing, holding the kid’s wrist? ”

“… … .”

When Yoo Seol shouted at her to leave the broadcasting station, Shin Si Woo started to look around as if he was worried that someone else might see him.

Taking advantage of the gap, Yoo Seol continued speaking coldly.

“I will absolutely not tolerate this. Please be aware that we will inform our company and take action.”

“… … .”

“If you approach Yerin one more time, I’ll just… .”

After Yoo Seol gave Shin Si Woo his final threat, he took me away.

Of course, Shin Si-woo too… .

“I think there was a misunderstanding! Yerin! I’ll come back later and tell you then!”

“Is he crazy… .”

Although he left me with some final cold words, Yoo Seol and I ignored him.

And as soon as I returned to the waiting room, I told the members and my manager what had just happened.

The members were naturally outraged, and the manager immediately told Director Jeong about the fact.

After that, Shin Si-woo didn’t approach me again, probably because Director Jeong had a good conversation with the YW officials.

but….

The feeling that someone was always watching me from somewhere was hard to shake off.

**

Back to the present.

“Why are you like that, Director Jeong!”

“There’s ‘that kid’ in Black Night!”

Since then, the members have been referring to Shin Si-woo as ‘that bastard’, as if they don’t even want to call him by his name.

Only then did Director Jeong make an “Oh no” expression and bow his head to me.

“Ah… , I’m sorry, Yerin. I guess I’m lacking so I didn’t think that far ahead. However, I don’t have the authority to cast the actors… .”

“It’s okay, Director Jeong.”

Director Jeong has already done enough.

As soon as I told him that Shin Si-woo was stalking me, I contacted the YW staff directly and stopped him from stalking me anymore.

It can’t be helped that the programs overlap like this.

“Instead, I will contact the PD of [Idol One Heart Sports Festival] directly and ask him to prevent ‘that bastard’ from approaching Yerin.”

“Yes, thank you for your attention.”

But I had members who supported me and Director Jeong who directly contacted the PD, so I wasn’t too scared even if I appeared on a program like Shin Si-woo.

But on the day of [Idol One Heart Sports Festival].

“Idols, welcome to the [Idol One Heart Sports Festival]! Today, you will be divided into the blue team and the white team and participate in the sports festival! First, check your teams!”

[Blue Team]

[Rookies ‘Ha Ye-rin’, Black Bomb ‘Shin Si-woo’ … … .]

“… … .”

As I looked at the team list, I felt the fear of Nnet PDs again for the first time in a long time.
