chapter 22
Adaptation (2)
“… Uh, what should I do… , should I wash it first? Whoa… !”
About 30 minutes until the meeting with Do Ji-hyeok, who was unintentionally accepted.
With only her underwear and T-shirt on, she fell into a panic.
“Chi, calm down and go to the cold… ! Take it easy, do it calmly… !”
Contrary to the words that comforted herself, she did not find any calmness.
“Once the head… . Let’s just tie… !”
In fact, 30 minutes is not enough time to prepare for a simple outing.
It’s already after taking a shower, and I’m not going far, so I don’t have to worry about what to wear.
Of course, there are some people who care about even going out, but visiting Hanna was far from that tendency.
By the way… .
Hanna Bang naturally began to pay attention to her attire.
“… This is weird… ?”
She looked down at the dress lying on the bed.
It was pretty, but it didn’t feel a little excessive.
‘The producer may think I’m strange… .’
There was also a way to appeal to her liking by deliberately showing off her appearance, but Hanna Han, who could not think of that before, had no choice but to put on a dress and chose a plain T-shirt and pants.
It wasn’t particularly pretty, but it was a combination that didn’t look ugly either.
“… Would this be better?”
Bang Han-na looked at the dress on one side as if she couldn’t be bothered, shook her head as if throwing away any regrets, and hurriedly put a toothbrush in her mouth.

What a little playground.
I sat on a bench and waited for Hanna to visit, and I looked at the playground under the street lamp, covered in deep silence.
“… … .”
A long time ago, when I just fell into this world.
After wandering aimlessly through the streets without believing that I was in a novel, I was sitting alone in a dark playground like now.
At that time, there were many difficult things that overlapped me, so I thought that it would be better to die before the world is destroyed… .
Looking back now, I think I was really lucky that I didn’t die at that time.
‘Arin played a big role.’
The first character in the novel I met after falling here was Lim Arin.
To be precise, I met her without knowing that she was ‘Arin Lim’.
When I was sitting on the playground and depressed, I happened to meet Arin Lim and had a short conversation.
We didn’t have any special conversations or receive much help, but it was a good opportunity to realize that this world is another reality… .
In fact, Lim Arin didn’t know yet that she had met me when she was young.
I also realized it by accident after a while, and I was a little embarrassed that I was acting like that, so I deliberately did not reveal it.
Probably, if I don’t tell you, it won’t be revealed for the rest of my life.
“I’m a producer!”
Hanna Bang, who arrived just in time, waved her hand and approached me.
She was wearing plain clothes called sweatpants with a T-shirt, but it felt strangely sensational because she had such a great body.
‘It looks like Yura.’
I unintentionally shed a bitter smile at the strange familiarity, and I pretended nothing was wrong and accepted her greeting.
“Thank you so much for coming. I guess I didn’t bother you for nothing.”
Sitting next to each other on the bench, she responded, waving her hand as if it was really okay.
“no! It’s really ok! hehehe… .”
His face was strangely reddish and he was laughing so hard that he thought he might have drank alcohol, but it was nothing to interfere with, so I decided to just pretend not to know.
“But, what story… ?”
Hanna Bang had eyes that seemed to hold strange expectations.
It looked like she wanted something, but it probably wasn’t what she wanted.
“actually… . I have something to ask of you.”
“For me?”
“I want you to lead the team in the future.”
“… yes?”
I asked Hanna Bang to be the team leader.
Because there is no one on the team that suits her better than her.
Not to mention Jin Seo-won, Kim Na-rae was not a style full of leadership.
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about this since Su-in was there, but I was a little worried because Su-in was the oldest. But somehow, Soo-in also left, and Seo-won came in right away… . Now I want to leave it to you officially.”
“… me, me… ?”
Hanna Bang showed a reaction in disbelief by blinking her eyes.
“I’m just saying this, but it’s never okay to pass it on to you because the other kids don’t suit you. You have good attachment, good personality, and leadership. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have chosen a leader.”
“… uh… .”
Hearing the praise, she averted her gaze with a look as if she was stabbed somewhere.
Hearing praise in front of my eyes, I felt a little embarrassed.
“Of course, I’m not going to tell you to take on the leadership role right now. I want to give you time to get used to it. It’s okay to try it, and if you don’t like it, talk about it.”
Hanna Bang quietly lowered her head with a dark look on her face as if she was troubled by something.
And after a while, he answered with a light smile as if he had finally settled his thoughts.
“… I’ll try… !”
Finally, after receiving a positive reply from her, I satisfactorily raised the corner of my mouth to express my gratitude, and immediately brought up the second main topic.
“Well… . And this is a personal request… .”
“What is it? It’s okay, tell me anything!”
“I want you to get to know Seo-won a little bit.”
“… yes?”
Hanna Bang, who had been listening to the story with a smile, asked again with a hard expression on her face as if she had been like that.
“uh… . With Seowon… ?”
Since it was difficult to communicate with him, it still seemed awkward.
“This is not for the sake of the vows, but for you.”
“For me… ?”
Hanna Bang responded that she did not understand English at all… .
In fact, it was not necessary for her to become close with Jin Seo-won.
Hanna Bang, a tank, lacks offensive ability.
Even if one day you can handle the technology using the shield, it will not come out with enough destructive power to lead the attack.
Conversely, Jinseowon, the main dealer, lacks defensive abilities.
Chunma Godong is closer to the ability to have overwhelming destructive power rather than to have a balance, and the reason Chunma was defeated in the original was also due to its relatively insufficient defense power.
In that sense, Seo-won Jin and Han-na Bang are inseparable.
“From now on, the two of you must fight to complement each other. By the way… . Actually, Seo-won is a bit introverted, right? So, I hope you can pull Seo-won well. Of course, I will talk to Seo-won separately, but your role is more important.”
Hanna Bang, who was listening to the explanation, slowly shook her head as if she understood.
Then, he slowly made eye contact, and carefully brought out the story.
“that… . If you are a producer… . Think I can… ?”
Her eyes were filled with subtle anticipation.
It was like a child’s eyes waiting for praise.
“So I asked you. If it wasn’t for you, you wouldn’t have said anything?”
“… Me, really?”
“then! I told you. You are the ace of our team, and you are the most important pillar. No matter how great Jin Seo-won is, this will never change. If you couldn’t do it, you never would. You know, I’m not the one to make you do things I can’t do.”
I gave her a lot of confidence.
This time it wasn’t a lie, so there wasn’t a single point of shame.
“Well, that’s right… ! Producer is such a person… !”
Hanna Bang burst into laughter as if she was happy with my compliment, and then spoke with a determined expression on her face.
“I see… ! Just trust me… !”
*
A broadcasting station studio located in the heart of Seoul.
“A Midnight Date with Queens! Part 2 has started. Are you all enjoying watching?”
The three of Queens were guests on a popular talk show.
“Come on, this time! As I said in part 1! This time, I would like to talk about the private lives of the Queens members.”
At first, it went without saying anything.
“I heard that Joo-hee enjoys sports on a regular basis?”
“I like doing things with my body. If I don’t move, I get itchy for nothing.”
“Arin-san, do you really like movies?”
“yes! I like going to the cinema, so I go there often!”

Most of the subjects were light topics, such as what you do on your days off and what hobbies you have.
“ah! There were rumors that Yura’s house had a Pilates machine, right?”
“yes. I used to love yoga, but recently I switched to Pilates.”
Actually, Hong Yura started Pilates to work with Do Ji-hyuk.
In fact, she was able to naturally appeal to her charms under the pretext of teaching Pilates to Do Ji-hyuk, and she was able to achieve quite meaningful results by touching her body satisfactorily.
of course… .
It’s all gone now, though.
“ruler. This time, let’s go a little deeper!”
In the middle of the interview, the MC threw up a new topic.
“The three most powerful men in the world… ! I wonder what your ideal type is!”
ideal type.
All three thought of the same person at the same time.
“First, let me ask you, Joo-hee! What is your ideal type?”
“… I do not know… .”
Seol Joo-hee thought of Do Ji-hyuk first as if it was natural, but soon recalled the fact that he had betrayed her, and deliberately came up with a different answer.
“I just wish he was stronger than me.”
“Hey… . A man stronger than Joo Hee… . There may be no candidates!”
The MC noticed that Seol Joo-hee had nothing to dig up and immediately handed the question to Hong Yu-ra.
“Then what would be your ideal type, Yura?”
“Well… . I… .”
Hong Yu-ra naturally thought of Do Ji-hyuk first.
Likewise, I was a little offended that Do Ji-hyuk betrayed him, but I thought that what was good about Seol Joo-hee was definitely good, and I talked about it in moderation.
“I want someone who knows how to be considerate of others. No matter how good you look, if your personality doesn’t match, it’s not good.”
“ah. Yura’s personality comes first, right? So, what do you like about your appearance?”
“I’m a little taller, so I wish I was taller than you.”
“uh? If you’ve ever met a short person… ?”
“Well… . I don’t think I’ve ever been…”
Hong Yu-ra let out a relaxed smile and proudly shed a lie.
Except for the experience with Do Ji-hyuk, because he had no experience with men.
Only the MC and the audience, who were not aware of that fact, cheered for Hong Yu-ra’s private story, which had been shrouded in secret.
“Then last! What would be Arin’s ideal type?”
“uh… . I… .”
Arin Lim thought of Do Ji-hyuk just like the other two team members.
Then, as if waiting, he started reciting information about Do Ji-hyuk one after another.
“Dark eyes, a manly face. He is 182 cm tall and looks a little cold, but he is warm on the inside, and he cooks well… . Oh, he has big hands, he doesn’t get angry very often, he’s very considerate, and he’s a very playful person!”
“Wow… .”
The MC felt that Arin Lim’s answer was unusual, and thought that he could win the jackpot, and asked a question.
“No, Arin! Isn’t that not your ideal type, you were just talking about your boyfriend?”
OK.
“If I did, I don’t think I would have any wishes!”
Arin Lim gave a playful answer and laughed shyly, and the MC and the audience laughed along, and the question naturally ended… .
“… … .”
Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra could not laugh with them.
Because I realized that the person Arin Lim was talking to was Ji-hyeok Do and that the answer to ‘I hope so’ was sincere.
