Delighted by the atmosphere, Jenny, who had become considerably friendlier, tapped Rona’s arm several times.

“This is so nice! Sister!!”

When a familiar form of address was established, Rona, looking at them with affection, chuckled.

“Okay. Shall we make a toast together?”

“Sure. Sister. Cheers!”

With elevated spirits, everyone clinked glasses.

All four of them laughed and swallowed their drinks.

In that moment, with the cheerful beats of exciting music, the unique smell of the swimming pool, and the sweet cocktails moistening their throats, Jenny’s eyes widened.

“Oh! Over there… Isn’t that Sister Hee-joo?”

Everyone turned their heads at Jenny’s words.

While looking at the woman at the tip of Jenny’s finger, Ho-tae tilted his head in confusion.

“No, isn’t it? That woman looks very different from the one I know.”

“No, it’s her, right? Oppa! Right, Sister Hee-joo?”

Jaemin, who had already recognized that the woman in the red bikini was his wife, was stiffened with a tense expression.

Realizing it, Rona also turned her head towards Jaemin with a strained look on her face.
Whether it was due to a shocked expression or held another meaning, Chaewon was captivated by the ominous feeling that this might ruin the party.

“Oppa, right?”

Jenny asked again, and Jaemin, coming to his senses, turned his head.

“Oppa, why aren’t you answering? It’s Hee-joo, right! You came with your friend? Wow, this is amazing. Seriously. Sister, we knew you were slim, but your body is so good like that?”

Whether male or female, many eyes were glued to Chaewon in the red bikini.

Looking at her again, Jaemin blinked several times with a serious expression and muttered.

“Oh, this isn’t the time for this.”

Jaemin grabbed a towel next to him and immediately covered Rona’s face with it.

“What are you doing, Mr. Jaemin!”

“Just look at it. If we keep like this and get caught, next week will be a wedding or something. Cover your face, Rona.”

“No, Mr. Jaemin, but still!”

Holding Rona’s head as she moved uncomfortably, Jaemin turned his head to Jenny and Ho-tae.

“I’ll leave first, so you guys take care of Rona!”

Confused, Jenny and Ho-tae’s eyes widened.

“Oh, what? Why should I take care? Oppa should take care!”

“Hey, sir. The one in the red bikini is coming this way, right?”

Surprised, Jaemin, with a stiff expression, said.

“Hey, everyone run!”

“What? Why should we run too?”

“If you don’t want to, then don’t!”

“Oh, really, what is this!”

Although Jenny resisted until the end, Jaemin, feeling anxious, wore sunglasses, covered his nose and mouth with a towel, and ran away alone.

Passing by Chaewon with her face covered, Jaemin, who went a bit far, stopped and looked back.

“But Hee-joo… Was she like that?”

The Hee-joo he knew had a slender body, but looking at her with the same face, it felt distinctly different.

Staring at her while feeling unfamiliar, Jaemin soon scowled with dissatisfaction.

“Anyway, why did she come to a place like this? A married woman!”

Even during their honeymoon, he stubbornly refused to wear a swimsuit due to a sunburn on his right back, so seeing her walking so confidently made him feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Muttering with an unpleasant face, Jaemin, who stopped and looked back, turned his face away in a hurry.

“Ah!”

Someone tripped over Jaemin and, with knees hurting, opened his mouth.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh, how the hell do you walk with your eyes open! Ugh.”

Now not the time for a confrontation that would attract attention, Jaemin, as he appeared, quickly walked to the exit.

Three men and women, with their faces covered with towels, walked shoulder to shoulder like playing a train game.

Approaching with a sneer, Chaewon stopped in front of them as planned.

“Oh? I think I know this person. Perhaps…”

Perplexed, Jenny, who stood still, spoke with a distorted voice, covering her face with a towel.

“No.”
As long as it’s not Gorona at the back, all they have to do is confidently greet and enjoy without any problem.

Due to No Jaemin leaving her behind, they all had to cover their faces like sinners.

“It’s strange. You really look like Hwagwan.”

“No, please ignore it.”

Answering in a disguised voice, Jenny hurriedly took Ho-tae’s hand behind her and left.

Covering her face while following, Rona, bewildered by the disappearing group, walked aimlessly.

“Excuse me.”

Rona stopped at Chaewon’s voice.

Flustered, she swallowed dry saliva and waited for her to continue.

“There’s a line ahead. She seems pregnant, so I’m worried she might fall.”

Relieved only now, Rona, as if half-bowing like a stranger, looked back, covered her face, and changed direction.

With Gorona’s exit, the electronic music and crosslights intensified even more.

Looking around the neatly cleaned party venue, Chaewon finally felt the cheerful music in her ears.

“Sister, do you know anyone here?”

Whispering close to her ear, the nurse asked Chaewon.

“I thought so, but maybe not.”

Chaewon received two cocktails from passing staff members.
