Liberation (1)

The three-day, two-night trip with Lim Arin went by pretty quickly.

In fact, I stayed in the house all day and just rolled around, so it’s only natural that it felt short.

After entering the hostel on the first day, we didn’t even step out until check-out.

All the necessary items were provided at the dormitory, and there was no reason to go out because it was not a trip to enjoy Jeju itself in the first place.

“The car is a bit stuck… . Aren’t you bored?”

“it’s okay… ! Wouldn’t it be nice to be with you longer?”

On the way back to the airport and dragging the parked car back.

While we were chatting with the radio on, Arin Lim spoke up.

“Hey.”

“yes?”

“we… . I don’t think the houses are too far away from each other… ?”

“Home?”

“yes! Neighborhoods are far apart, and it’s hard to meet when you want to meet each other… !”

I tapped the steering wheel and carefully considered her words.

If you ask how far each other’s house is, if you honestly think it’s not that far away.

Although the jurisdictions are different, they are in the same Seoul anyway, and they are not that far physically.

However, it is definitely a cumbersome distance to commute to work every day.

“Isn’t that a little bit?”

He glanced back at the passenger seat and affirmed her words.

Arin Lim strangely blinked her eyes and offered a suggestion.

“So I mean… . we… , how about living together? ?”

“… uh?”

It was a cohabitation proposal.

‘… Let’s live together… ?’

As she reacted slightly embarrassed by the unexpected proposal for cohabitation, Lim Arin quickly began to list the advantages of cohabitation.

“If we live together, we can see each other every day, we can sleep together, we can always be together… ! And save money… .”

It was as if he had been waiting only for this time, as if he had prepared well.

‘It’s a little difficult living together… .’

To be honest, it’s not that I hate living with Lim Arin.

but.

When I live with her, I wonder if I will be able to control myself.

It turned out that Arin Lim and I, too, have pretty good stamina because they have been corrected for magic power through this trip.

Even if there were no other schedules, I recorded a whopping double-digit number on a trip of only 2 nights and 3 days… .

What would happen if we lived together?

I’m sure he’ll be wandering around the dining hall in a few months.

“And again… .”

“… Arin.”

“yes… ?”

“Yeah, it’s all good. Isn’t it too early to live together?”

“… It’s too early… ?”

“yes.”

I list reasons to put off living together quickly before she gets misunderstood.

“I told you yesterday… , are we still young? We’ve just started dating, and I hope we can enjoy our time alone a little more.”

As I said, he seemed like someone who really didn’t want to get married.

“… Ji-hyuk… .”

But.

“Thinking about it, I think that’s right… !”

Arin Lim quickly changed her attitude and agreed with my opinion,

Naturally, the story of cohabitation was buried.

Did this go as planned, or did she look after me? .

No one could have known.

next day.

“You are working hard.”

When I went to work after a long time, Junhyung Kim and Gyuri Han welcomed me.

“Uh, are you here?”

“Are you here?”

“Are you all here early? Now, this is a gift.”

“Wow! Did you take care of it on purpose?!”

“I bought it just because I saw it passing by at the airport. Snack okay?”

“It’s perfectly fine! thank you! I will eat well!”

“Five… . It’s probably not chocolate, is it?”

“What can I buy from Jeju Island?”

“what? Mine isn’t chocolate, is it?”

“What, my arrogant chocolate!?”

“If you give something expensive to a public official, you will be arrested.”

“I’m the only civil servant!? Gyuri-san is also a civil servant!”

After the gift presentation was over and we sat down, Junhyung Kim approached and leaned on the partition to ask a question.

“So, have you been having a good time with Jesu?”

The smirk on her smiling face seemed to be curious about her relationship with Lim Arin.

“When did you say I saw you, Jesu? … From now on, call me brother-in-law.”

“Big… ! You did it, Do Ji-hyuk… !”

“After all, did you decide to date?”

As if interested in Kim Jun-hyung’s reaction, Han Gyuri sneaks in.

She also sneakily approached and asked about the trip with Lim Arin.

“Somehow, I thought the producer’s face was thin… . It was!”

“… really?”

“uh. Anyone who sees it would think they went on a honeymoon.”

“So how was it?!”

The two have been digging with their eyes open on gossip after a long time,

“I’ll buy you a drink and tell you later, so go and work today. Gyuri-san, can you check on the 100-day group meeting?”

“Ah yes!”

I made a promise to the next, and started working with a moderate amount of negligence.

‘Meet with Kang Moo-jin in the afternoon… . Would you like to eat out with your kids after a long time after work?’

So while looking at today’s schedule and making plans for the next gate.

“… … .”

Suddenly, I had a question about the ‘suggestion’ that Arin Lim had.

At least until last night, Arin Lim’s suggestion didn’t work.

It was confirmed by her directly, so I’m sure… .

This means that there is a high probability that Arin Lim’s suggestion has been completely cured.

It becomes a story that ‘physical therapy’ really worked.

It is a story about having to sleep with Seol Joo-hee or Hong Yu-ra, who are caught in the same suggestion.

‘It’s difficult… .’

I don’t like having a girlfriend and having s*x with another woman.

Of course, there may be some men you like, but… .

at least not me

‘What if it’s true… .’

However, it is also true that it is not the time to cover cold or hot rice right now.

A third incident will occur in a few months.

In the third case, an enormous force comes in from a very large gate that broke out in the West Sea.

Here, Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee, who have explosive powers, must be used, and in order to use them properly, the relationship must be improved.

Whether it is porridge or rice, it means that we must break their hints.

‘I wish it wasn’t like that… .’

How long has it been since you continued your work with thoughts like that?

“Would you like to go to lunch soon?”

As lunch time approached, Gyuri Han spoke up first.

“I’m going to meet and eat with people from the 100th side, so eat first.”

“okay? Gyuri-san, shall we go first?”

“Aren’t the producers leaving work right there?”

“I think so.”

“All right! You worked hard today!”

Having sent the two of us first and keeping the office alone, I headed to the place I promised with Baek Yu-jin of the 100-il group just in time.

*

“Come on.”

“Long time no see.”

Do Ji-hyuk parked his car at the meeting place and changed to Baek Yu-jin’s car. She greeted her side by side and shared her recent status.

“I heard that you have a girlfriend.”

“… Is the news a bit early?”

“There was a story that one of the staff witnessed it at the airport. So, are the rumors true?”

“Somehow, it happened.”

Do Ji-hyuk did not hide the fact that he had a lover.

Since it was a pure business relationship with Baek Yu-jin in the first place, I thought it was necessary to draw a slight line.

“Ugh… . I won’t say anything. I just don’t want to get caught up in something like that.”

“thank you.”

Baek Yu-jin, who had only a slight interest, accepted the news of Do Ji-hyuk’s relationship with ease… .

Of course, it would have been a different story if it had been a situation where they had a ‘deep relationship’ rather than a light interest.

Baek Yu-jin is the one who received a lot of blood from the current Baek family.

His distinctive white hair and red eyes prove him,

If Do Ji-hyuk had crossed the big line, he would have been deeply engraved on Baek Yu-jin’s mind.

She probably used all sorts of conspiracy tactics to ‘own’ him by using the entire 100-il group.

However… .

This is just a meaningless example of a time that has already disappeared.

It is simply an assumption of ‘extinct time’ that has nothing to do with the present.

“What kind of person is Kang Mu-jin?”

“Have you ever met?”

“It was a long time ago, so I can’t remember. It was when I was in the academy, almost eight years ago.”

“okay? Our manager is more exciting than he looks. You’re not the type of person who talks with one mouth, so it’d be better to throw a fastball from the start.”

After hearing Baek Yu-jin’s story, Do Ji-hyuk devised a strategy and glanced out the window.

The wind was blowing softly in the high sky without a single cloud, as if a typhoon was coming.

“I have arrived.”

Eventually, we arrived at a high-end Korean restaurant on the outskirts of Seoul.

Do Ji-hyuk and Baek Yu-jin entered the restaurant with the guidance of the staff who came to meet them.

Drooling-

In the secretly prepared inner room, I finally met him face to face.

“Long time no see.”

This is Kang Mu-jin, the head of the 100 Days Guild.

With his supple white hair tucked back and a handsome beard, he boasted such a large size that his middle-aged age was disregarded.

Like a strong man who swept the battlefield during his active duty, he was still exuding a tremendous force.

“long time no see.”

“Come on, sit down.”

Do Ji-hyuk, who briefly said hello to Kang Mu-jin, took a seat.

Beyond the Cheonhwa Guild and the Sejin Guild, he finally began to spread his magical beasts to the Hundred Days Guild.

*

Around the time Do Ji-hyuk was in the midst of negotiating with the 100 Days Guild.

Seol Joo-hee’s house.

After Lim Arin’s trip ended, it’s been a long time since all the members of Queens gathered in one place… .

In the living room where the three of us were gathered, there was a silence that was so heavy that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

“… … .”

Unlike Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee, who had expressions close to their true colors, only Lim A-rin had a happy expression on their face.

“… Arin. I was wrong… ?”

Hong Yura doubted her ears and asked carefully.

OK.

Arin Lim slowly shook her head as if to deny her wish, and then immediately drove a wedge.

“me… . I’m going to marry Ji-hyuk.”

It was the announcement of his marriage to Do Ji-hyuk.
