Learning (5)
late night.
Hong Yura’s house.
Kung Kung Kung-!
Hong Yu-ra, who heard the knock on the door and realized that Seol Joo-hee had come, hurried to the front door.
“What the hell is going on at this hour… !”
“… … .”
Hong Yu-ra was at a loss for words at the sight of her messed up.
Torn hair and disheveled clothes.
Even the faint smell of alcohol seemed to have come from drinking from anywhere.
“you… . it’s okay… ?”
Hong Yu-ra, who inadvertently narrowed her brow at Seol Joo-hee, who nodded her head to answer her, hurriedly took her into the house.
“It’s honey, drink some of this.”
Hong Yu-ra sat in the living room and watched Seol Joo-hee quietly sipping honey.
‘What the hell happened… ?’
She had a blank expression on her face, as if she had suffered a heartbreak, but it was so different from her usual self-confidence in everything, it felt so unfamiliar.
“… What happened?”
So Hong Yu-ra carefully asks a question.
widely-
Seol Joo-hee put down her glass indifferently, and tried to calm her heart that was still pounding in displeasure, and slowly spoke out.
“… Yura. … Isn’t something strange?”
“… what?”
“just… . all.”
Seol Joo-hee confessed, feeling a strong sense of separation that made me wonder why I hadn’t noticed.
“I came to meet Do Ji-hyuk.”
“… really?”
Surprised by the unexpected name that came out of Seol Joo-hee’s mouth, Hong Yu-ra opened her eyes wide.
Because she was the most uniquely out of the three, who almost hated Do Ji-hyuk.
Even Hong Yu-ra, who watched all the people from the side, had deep doubts about the fact that Seol Joo-hee met Do Ji-hyuk.
“Why all of a sudden? Was it because of Arin?”
Seol Joo-hee slowly raised her head and met Hong Yu-ra’s eyes.
Then he spit out the answer he didn’t want to get out of his mouth to the point that it was disgusting to even put it in his mouth.
“… I’m worried… .”
“What?”
“… Do Ji-hyuk… . I’m worried… .”
‘Seol Joo-hee was worried about Do Ji-hyuk.’
Hong Yu-ra, who blinked her big eyes at the unbelievable fact, immediately came to her senses and asked her questions calmly,
Seol Joo-hee explained the situation with Do Ji-hyuk without hesitation… .
“that is… .”
Hong Yu-ra, who knew all the self-inflicted things, put her forehead on a strangely stinging forehead and slowly organized the situation.
‘There’s definitely something strange… .’
Hong Yu-ra had the same concern for Do Ji-hyuk as Seol Joo-hee.
However, she didn’t feel strange because she hated sin but didn’t hate people.
By the way.
After listening to Seol Joo-hee’s story, I started to feel something strange.
‘You must have seen the video… .’
Hong Yu-ra has trusted Do Ji-hyuk so blindly that he almost died.
Therefore, he accepted the leader without hesitation and entered the shadow of Seol Joo-hee by taking on the tank position rather than the main dealer.
However, right after watching the video in question and spitting out gossip, the trust and trust I had built up over the years disappeared in an instant.
‘… uh, huh?’
A large hole that had not been noticed until now was revealed.
“… … .”
Seol Joo-hee was sure that she had noticed something when she suddenly saw Hong Yu-ra’s bewildered look with her lips trembling.
“Is something strange? right?”
Seol Joo-hee, who felt strangely happy that she wasn’t the only one, raised the corners of her mouth and hurriedly grabbed Hong Yu-ra, earnestly persuading her.
“Something is strange… . Is not it? Should I listen to Do Ji-hyuk like that? no… . The bad thing is Do Ji-hyuk!”
“Joohee… .”
“Even if that bastard hadn’t been wallowing with another woman… . If you didn’t betray us, it wouldn’t be like this!”
“Hey Juhee. Once calm… .”
“No, no, it’s not… . it might not be Maybe I was tricked by that shitty video. right… ?”
“… uh?”
“Actually, Jihyuk might not have been defiled.”
Seol Joo-hee’s eyes flashed with faint madness.
Seol Joo-hee did not miss the possibility that she might have been deceived.
In fact, Do Ji-hyuk had a pure body, and he saw the possibility that it was them who were mistaken.
“Well, then what? What if I’m not wrong? What if I hurt Ji-hyuk like a fool… ?”
Seol Joo-hee hugged Hong Yu-ra’s arm tightly in the intense fear that was approaching.
And at that moment, Seol Joo-hee’s dislike for Do Ji-hyuk, who was flying like ashes in her heart, came over her.
“… no… . It’s not that I was deceived, it’s that Do Ji-hyuk gave me an excuse to be deceived, isn’t it? That bastard was messing around every day… !”
“Hey Juhee. you are… .”
“You don’t remember? On the day our power rankings were announced this time, Kim Eun-young, that f*cking bitch is flirting! Do Ji-hyuk knew everything and accepted it!!!”
Hong Yu-ra was a little worried about Seol Joo-hee, who looked so anxious, but she couldn’t deny Seol Joo-hee’s words.
The reason why Queens schedule manager Kim Eun-young approached Do Ji-hyuk was because Hong Yu knew well.
Not only Kim Eun-young, but also other women constantly flirted with Do Ji-hyeok, but Do Ji-hyuk did not push their favor out for business reasons.
I couldn’t help but think that I was doing what is often called ‘fishery management’.
“It’s Do Ji-hyuk’s fault that we’ve become like this! If you had accepted us in the first place… . We wouldn’t have been like this if we had given him the right confidence! … … If we still believe… . He loved me so much, and he only polluted one body… . … … But I don’t know if I slept with one person, I didn’t even sleep with a dirty whore, so Hyeri Lee and that f*cking bitch… !”
Seol Joo-hee ripped off her hair and blamed herself, but at first appeared angry and kept going back and forth.
Confusion came from extreme stress.
“Hey Juhee. Just calm down… ! Let’s find a way together. yes?”
Hong Yu-ra hurriedly grabbed her, calmed her down and offered an alternative.
“… Way… ?”
“yes… ! We can solve it one by one!”
After that, Hong Yu-ra managed to calm Seol Joo-hee, and together with her, she began to devise a way to break this frustrating situation.
“First… . Let’s try this.”
“… Unicorn?”
In this world, there is an S-class monster called a unicorn.
This monster, which is difficult to find even at the gate, has the characteristic of believing and following only pure beings, regardless of age or s*x… .
Yura Hong wanted to use the ‘Purity Check Kit’, a product that uses the characteristics of this unicorn.
“It’s a little hard to find, but maybe this one is for sure.”
This kit can determine the approximate number of times the examiner sleeps.
If it turns out that Do Ji-hyuk is an innocent being, they misunderstood.
If it turns out that he was a promiscuous being who had met any woman… .
Do Ji-hyuk becomes the garbage that has deceived them.
“What do you think?”
Seol Joo-hee could not readily answer Hong Yu-ra’s question.
In fact, either way was the worst option for her.
However… .
She didn’t even have a choice.
“… Let’s do it.”
After ordering the kit immediately, Hong Yu-ra suggested that we get a professional examination together.
“I think it’s probably right to take a test once.”
No matter how shocking Do Ji-hyeok’s betrayal was, the situation in which he was accepted and the never-ending resentment of hatred was obviously an anomaly.
“Let’s call Arin together soon. Understand?”
Seol Joo-hee, who had been quietly listening to Hong Yu-ra’s persuasion, carefully raised her head and met Hong Yu-ra’s eyes.
“what if… . Really if… . What if Jihyeok is innocent and we are okay?”
and.
“… that… .”
I thought that Hong Yu-ra had inadvertently imagined the ‘what if’ that Seol Joo-hee uttered.
It’s all over without looking back.
“… Then go think about it.”
Hong Yu-ra frowned and hugged Seol Joo-hee tightly.
Seol Joo-hee, who was imagining the true end just like her, felt a little comfort in Hong Yu-ra’s answer and buried her face in her chest.

right after work.
[ sorry. I’m a little busy today, so it might be difficult to contact you. I’ll call you later. ]
As I was sharing messages with Arin Lim as usual, I pondered while looking at the message I had written in advance.
‘Is it right to send this?’
Just press the send button and the message will fly in the blink of an eye.
Then, I’m sure Lim Arin will feel strange and question the sudden change of attitude.
In fact, it would be right to talk directly and sort out the relationship, not in such an ambiguous way… .
Contrary to what I said with curiosity in front of Seol Joo-hee, I didn’t have the confidence to end my relationship with her.
“… ha… .”
woowook-
After sending the message with a heavy sigh and a hand full of regrets, I shook off my useless thoughts and headed straight to the training ground.
“Producer! I got a call from Sejin to relocate the office soon!”
“Are you fast?”
Arriving at the training ground like that, I was able to hear some pretty surprising news from Gyuri Han.
I wonder if talking with the mayor was of great help, and the agreement with the Sejin Guild progressed quickly… ,
As if he had been waiting at all, as soon as the permission was granted, he immediately requested to move the office.
‘Well, there’s nothing wrong with being fast.’
“How do I make an appointment right away?”
“What is Junhyung?”
“Did you even dance to go to a place with good facilities?”
Recalling the reaction of Junhyung Kim, who must have made a fuss, I raised the corners of my lips and asked the estimated time required before.
“How long will our relocation take?”
“I don’t have a lot of luggage… . Wouldn’t morning be enough?”
“It’s morning… . Would you like to move Gyuri-san as soon as possible?”
“You don’t like it, do you?”
I nodded at Han Gyuri’s answer and said that we should move as soon as possible.
“Even if the morning training is delayed… . Or should I just train on Friday mornings and move in the afternoon?”
“oh! Is that okay?”
“Well, actually, it doesn’t matter. Wouldn’t it be better to move quickly and leave work early than to train until evening on Friday?”
“sure!”
Gyuri Han left a note on her cell phone, liking it as if she had been on vacation, and immediately disappeared saying she would coordinate the schedule with Sejin.
‘It means you did a good job.’
After leaving Gyuri Han behind, training started as usual.
“… Producer.”
“yes?”
“… Please do that today.”
After warming up, Seo-Won Jin asked for a tutoring session.
“In addition?”
I, who had already taught fortune-telling breakfast several times, tried to refuse the tutoring, remembering her bizarre reaction… .
“… Don’t wear coins… .”
Jin Seo-won has been emphasizing the justification of tutoring by raising the question of wearing a coin.
It was the same as Seol Joo-hee’s repertoire 10 years ago, who was just starting to learn fortune-telling.
‘Are all children learning martial arts like this?’
“… okay. Take care of Hannah and me, and I’ll tell you later. One time instead? No more today?”
So Jin Seo-won nodded her head with a strangely satisfied expression and quietly returned to the booth.
“Producer… !”
As if waiting, Hanna Bang came and spoke carefully.
“that… , there’s a movie theater we were supposed to go to… ! There is a very delicious place nearby… . If you have time, would you like to go there too… ?”
When I said something, it was about a weekend appointment.
“uh. Of course you weren’t going together, were you?”
“… yes?”
“The movie ended around dinner, so of course we thought we would have dinner together… . Did I take it for granted?”
Hanna Bang looked at me blankly for a moment as if she did not understand what I was saying… .
“Oh, no! Absolutely! yes! sure… !”
He waved his hand with a slightly warm face and showed a very happy look.
‘cute.’
At that time, I was spending time with Hanna Bang and chatting briefly.
“Producer… ! Producer!”
Gyuri Han, who had gone to coordinate the schedule with the Sejin Guild, rushed to her feet.
“… ?”
“What’s going on, in such a hurry… .”
“Hey, he’s here!”
I was skeptical of someone Han Gyu-ri was calling out loudly, so I made eye contact with Bang Han-na, who said that she didn’t know English, and then asked Han Gyu-ri.
“Who is here?”
OK.
Gyuri Han revealed his identity with a strangely interesting face.
“It’s Im Arin!”
“… yes?”
It was Im Arin.
