Seems like he empathized without knowing anything.

By the way, Honey… I wondered why he called her that at first, but now I think I know. It’s a modified form of ‘Hyunnie’ from Ji Seunghyun. Well, it was a decent nickname compared to Chunja.

Thinking of Kim Jaeyoung… no, Ji Seunghyun, I felt a surge of betrayal.

‘I thought he was a good guy!’

It’s a world of tricks and deception after all. There’s no one to trust.

Seol Yubin, startled by Ban Hamin’s enthusiasm, cautiously spoke up.

“Y-Yes… Ji Seunghyun. Ha-Hamin, he’s in the same class as you…”

Satisfied with the answer, Ban Hamin nodded triumphantly. …Why is he so satisfied?

Ban Hamin laughed heartily and said, “I knew it, Beanie Beanie likes Honey, right?”
“Uh, yeah.”

Seol Yubin, realizing that something was odd just now, nodded awkwardly.

Ban Hamin had taken over the conversation by now.

“So, Beanie Beanie, do you want to date Honey?”

He was straightforward in asking.

Seol Yubin, looking startled, blushed and lowered her head.

“Kyaah!”

Ban Hamin shouted enthusiastically, completely oblivious to the situation.

“Beanie Beanie really likes Honey!”

But seriously, he gives other people decent nicknames. Why am I still Chunja?

Feeling irritated alone, I clenched my fist tightly. Someday, I’ll definitely defeat him.

Unaware of my feelings, Ban Hamin happily grabbed Seol Yubin’s sleeve and shook her.

“Hey, how about Hamin helps you?”

What? Help?

No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine that guy offering normal help.

I subtly removed Ban Hamin’s hand from Seol Yubin’s and asked instead.

“…How will he help?”

Though I said it, inside I was thinking, ‘Just stay quiet.’

Ban Hamin said cheerfully, “Let’s go to the amusement park together!”

Huh?

Why suddenly suggest going to the amusement park?

As expected, it was just nonsense. I looked at Ban Hamin as if saying, ‘Give it a try.’

But Ban Hamin was quite serious.

“What’s wrong, Jjooni? Why do you have that expression? Don’t you trust Hamin?”

Who would trust you?

Ban Hamin shouted with a >0< expression.

"Hamin has a plan, you know!"

But was that really a possible expression? I was starting to wonder if it was possible naturally or if it was because this was the world of Inso.

I said hesitantly, "Okay… Tell me your plan."

Then, Ban Hamin started explaining enthusiastically.

Amusement parks have been known as a sacred place for couples.

Especially, the crucial point is the effect of the swing ride; it's psychologically proven that romantic feelings between the opposite sex bloom in front of a thrilling ride.

"If Honey and Beanie Beanie ride a thrilling ride together, love will blossom!"

To summarize Ban Hamin's argument in one line, that was it.

"Then, who will call Ji Seunghyun?"

"Hamin will!"

Ban Hamin shouted "Ehem!" and proudly said, "I can bring Honey! We're in the same classmate.fri.end.ship!"

Though it was frustrating, compared to my reckless plan to confront him, it was a more reasonable plan. I had no choice but to acknowledge Ban Hamin's words, claiming to have a plan.

Seeing my expression waver, Ban Hamin chuckled.

"So, is Hamin going with the plan?"

Instead of answering, I looked at Seol Yubin. She still seemed confused, but Ban Hamin's words seemed to intrigue her.

Seol Yubin spoke hesitantly, "But… What if Seunghyun doesn't come because of me…?"

Then Ban Hamin, clenching his fist, shouted, "No problem! Hamin will drag him here even if I have to knock him out!"

That's not okay…

I silently pondered for a moment, thinking about Ji Seunghyun, who might end up in a difficult situation because of me.
Anyway, Ban Hamin's plan, also known as the 'Proposal Grand Operation,' had begun.

"Kkyaul! Exciting!"

As my plan was accepted, Ban Hamin, even more excited than Seol Yubin, bounced around the health room with joy.

Ban Hamin grabbed Seol Yubin's hands and shook them up and down.

"Trust only Hamin! I'll definitely connect you with Honey!"

Seol Yubin blushed shyly but nodded her head.

'…It should be fine, right?'

Well, though I spoke grandly, in the end, it was just about going to the amusement park together for a date…

Then, Ban Hamin took out his phone.

"I should contact the others too!"

"Huh?"

I asked reflexively.

"Who are the others?"

Ban Hamin said cheerfully, "Chani and Jini!"

"What?"

Why would they come!

Then, Ban Hamin shamelessly said, "Originally, amusement parks are more fun when everyone goes together!"

Only now did I realize Ban Hamin's true intention.

'This guy… just wanted to have fun himself, right?'

No matter how you looked at it, Seol Yubin was taken advantage of.

'I've been fooled!'

I regretted belatedly, but it was already too late.

Ban Hamin took out his phone and said, "Alright! Chani-Chani will come too!"

This is crazy!

I grabbed my head.

This can't happen! Spending the weekend at the amusement park with Samdae Boy! I won't go! No, I can't go!

But before I could open my mouth, Ban Hamin made a preemptive move.

"Of course, Jjooni will go, too, right?"

"I'm not going…"

Then, Seol Yubin and I made eye contact.

Two eyes looking at me eagerly.

"…"

I closed my eyes tightly.

"I… I'll go."

"Oh yeah!"

Ban Hamin jumped excitedly.

"Well then, let's all meet at the amusement park on Sunday!"

It's over.

I felt despair while hearing Ban Hamin's cheerful laughter.
