“Oh, um. So, at that moment… Oppa, even someone like you can feel lonely. That’s what I thought. Despite receiving so much attention and love.”
Yoonbin nodded, looking at Eunsu.
And while Eunsu didn’t notice, he switched his phone, which he held in his hand, to silent mode.
The name Kim Joo-han flashed several times on the screen before it went out.
As soon as Joo-han finished his overdue work, he contacted Eunsu.
He intended to pick her up around the end of the gathering, but Eunsu didn’t answer the phone.
At first, he thought she might be in a noisy place, not thinking much about it, but after several attempts with no answer, he began to feel strange.
Moreover, Eunsu wasn’t the type to be unreachable normally.
Then, when he finally heard that her phone was off, his heart sank.
He tried calling Mira. However, an unexpected response came.
“Is it Eunsu unni? We couldn’t meet today. Just before the gathering, I got a call, and someone seems to be injured, saying someone should go check. They apologized for not being able to come.”
It was confusing.
Someone got hurt, and upon hearing the news, Eunsu was the first person to come to mind, ready to rush.
There were not many people who came to mind.
I saw the Bida employees leaving work after Eunsu’s appointment time, and Solhee, when I called her, said she was at the broadcasting station and asked what was going on.
At the moment I thought it might be a voice phishing, someone came to mind.
If not the employees or Solhee, maybe.
I called Yoonbin, but he didn’t answer. The phone turned off on the second and third tries.
Thinking it wasn’t a normal situation, I even searched for the business card of the director I received when delivering furniture a while ago.
An article about Yoonbin being injured.
“…Hoo.”
Joo-han glanced at the clock and clenched his fist again.
Thinking about going to the hospital mentioned in the article, I realized I couldn’t go in, and it seemed like it would only cause confusion, so I came to Eunsu’s house.
And after a few hours, the face I had been waiting for appeared from the corner of the alley.
Eunsu, walking with a slightly faster pace, almost reached Joo-han before noticing him and hurriedly ran over.
“Were you here? No wonder, you weren’t at the store or at home.”
Joo-han approached Eunsu, looking down at her with a stern gaze.
“Sorry for not answering the call. I found out the phone was off only when I took a taxi. I came here to explain as soon as I saw your face, but you weren’t here…”
Eunsu took a deep breath and added.
“Yoonbin oppa got hurt during the shoot.”
“A lot?”
While asking, Joo-han’s voice seemed excessively calm. However, Eunsu bowed her head from the top.
“He had a cast on his arm, but he’s okay. I was so surprised because I saw the article first, and I kept calling, but it seems like the battery drained a lot. So…”
“I got it.”
“Yeah?”
Only then did Eunsu realize that the discomfort she felt a little while ago wasn’t a misconception.
“If nothing’s wrong, it’s okay. You must have been very surprised. Go inside and rest.”
Although it seemed affectionate for a moment, it was strangely cold.
Joo-han approached. He embraced Eunsu’s shoulders, then released them and stepped back.
“Go in. See you tomorrow.”
“Uh, okay.”
Joo-han raised the corners of his mouth slightly, appearing to smile, and then turned away.
Watching his receding figure, Eunsu, who hesitated for a moment, felt a strange uneasiness and went up to her house.
Seems like he’s really angry.
Maybe because I didn’t know the phone was off, but if I couldn’t contact someone for a few hours, even I would have been overly worried and angry.
‘No, but I was surprised too. So I went straight to Bida. I apologized and explained, saying sorry, but…’
Even habitually, she mechanically changed her clothes and entered the bathroom to wash, but her thoughts didn’t stop until she mechanically moved her hands to wash and came out.
‘Originally, I wouldn’t get angry like that. I would have just said it on the spot, without making such a face. Was I playing around and didn’t answer? Did I intentionally not answer? And it’s an incident where someone got hurt…’
The more I thought about it, the more my mood sank.
“Ah, really…”
I plopped down on the sofa.
I glanced at my phone, wondering if there was any contact during my shower, but it was quiet.
I hugged my raised knees with both arms, crouching down. My heart felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Did we fight? It doesn’t have to be loud to be a fight; is this considered a fight now?
How long has it been since we got back together?
A deep sigh escaped.
I stayed seated for a while, then sluggishly returned to the bedroom and lay down. Suddenly, everything felt unfamiliar.
Why is it so quiet? Was the bed always this wide?
Eunsu, who had been snuggling up and blinking with the blanket pulled up to her chin, tightly bit her lips.
It was the second time, but anyway, it was because lately, like a typical newly reunited couple, we had been sticking together constantly.
Sharing from the low Bida during the day naturally extended to sharing at night, becoming our recent routine.
The sight of Joo-han turning around and telling me to sleep well at the door made my heart sink for no reason.
This is not right.
Ah, this really doesn’t seem right…!
And he just left like that? Shouldn’t I casually follow him inside, or subtly insist that he come in again or ask him to take me home this time? Come to think of it, we didn’t even kiss!
I threw off the blanket and got up. I couldn’t endure this feeling.
Eunsu, who came out of the bed, put on a coat roughly and grabbed her phone, only then opening the front door.
She was about to call Joo-han, but he called first.
“Hello?”
― Eunsu.
After calling her name, there was silence for a moment. Eunsu unexpectedly spoke first.
“Remember that wish ticket from before? I took it.”
― What?
“I hid it well behind the refrigerator, right?”
― How did you… No, more importantly, why did you take it upon yourself?
“Whether you use it now or later, it doesn’t matter, right? Consider it as received in advance.”
― You really… Do you know that taking is worse than giving?
“I didn’t take it away. I received it as a prepaid concept, so use it whenever. I did it the way you wanted, for the right moment.”
After the sound of either laughing or biting her tongue, Joo-han’s words followed.
― Then come to me now.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
