“Your boyfriend? And you report every little thing to him?”
Her voice was louder than one would expect for talking to oneself.
As the two men turned to her, Jane added,
“Kang said she didn’t have many friends, but I guess if this continues, she’ll lose the few she does have.”
Nosey.
San thought this, but he gave a slight smile.
Yet, he responded with a courteous tone.
“You don’t have to worry about that. After all, I am her friend too.”
“Oh, come on.”
Jane quickly dismissed his comment with a wave of her hand.
“There’s no such thing as male-female friendship.”
“…”
“Can you go shopping together? Can you confide about relationships? Can you scrub each other’s backs at a public bath?”
San chose silence over responding.
He had no intention of continuing a futile conversation.
However, Jane, seemingly interpreting his silence as her victory, puffed up with pride.
“See?”
“…”
“You can’t refute it, can you? I’m quite perceptive.”
It seemed that Jane was set on pushing a narrative that would affirm her point of view.
Either acknowledging that their relationship was unique,
Or that he was overly protective and crossing boundaries.
Yet, naturally, San had no intention of affirming either view.
Thus, to prevent unnecessary interference, he had to cut her off.
Kang, who was in between the two, considered explaining that there were legitimate reasons for their actions but quickly dropped the idea.
Jane did not want the conversation to drag on either, and the elevator had arrived.
All three boarded the elevator.
And the buttons for three consecutive floors were pressed.
As the elevator doors closed, Jane spoke to Kang.
“Honey, thanks for listening to me today.”
“You’re welcome. I enjoyed our time too.”
“Really? Let’s be even closer then. You can visit my place anytime.”
Kang responded to her with a smile.
Ding.
The elevator arrived on the floor where Jane lived.
As the door opened, and just before stepping out, she seemed to remember something.
“Oh, right.”
Then, smiling at San, she advised,
“Don’t tie her down too much.”
He responded cordially,
“It’s not your business.”
Seeing that she had hit a nerve, she theatrically raised her hands in a mock gesture of surrender.
But only for a moment.
Immediately, she pulled Kang into a tight one-armed hug.
“Good night, honey.”
Then, she boldly kissed Kang’s cheek and, with a playful look at San, remarked,
“Yummy.”
The soft, almost whisper, was a clear provocation.
And the underlying meaning could be interpreted as suggesting that no matter her true nature, either explanation would fit.
The piercing on her tongue playfully brushed her bright red lips before retreating.
San’s brow furrowed at the sight.
Laughing, Jane stepped out of the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors began to close, San quickly checked Kang’s cheek.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
“Really okay?”
“It’s okay. It was just a bit surprising.”
“…”
“Why?”
“It’s nothing. If you’re okay, that’s all that matters.”
He spoke those words, but it seemed like he was the one who wasn’t okay.
San brought his thumb close to the prominent lipstick mark on Kang’s cheek.
And impulsively, he rubbed it.
He originally touched her face hoping to detect something, but the sight was uncomfortable enough that he instinctively acted.
A reddish smudge appeared on her fair and delicate skin.
Seeing this irritated him.
‘… Damn.’
He sighed internally and opened his eyes.
His previously calm expression now showed signs of strain.
Seeing this, Kang asked in surprise,
“What’s wrong?”
“… Nothing. It’s nothing.”
San managed to control his expression and lowered his head.
The elevator ascended another floor, and he followed Kang out.
“Wait a moment.”
San approached and gently touched the smudged lipstick mark on her cheek.
He then focused, trying to sense what he had initially intended.
Nothing specific was felt.
There was still no concrete evidence whether Jane was human or a Mongma.
However, if she were human, she would probably be quite annoying, and if she were a Mongma, she wouldn’t be ordinary.
“Do you feel something?”
At Kang’s cautious question, San stared at her silently.
His gaze seemed to be filled with both concern and anticipation.
Perhaps he was worried that Jane might be a Mongma and, conversely, hoping that she was human.
He showed a faint smile and shook his head.
“No. I don’t feel anything.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Her previously tense expression relaxed.
Was she relieved that he felt nothing?
Or was she pleased with the conclusion that Jane was just an ordinary human?
Truthfully, he didn’t want to disappoint her.
But this time was certainly different.
He planned to shatter Kang’s hopes and illusions as soon as he got concrete evidence that Jane was a Mongma.
“Call me when you’re ready.”
“Okay.”
“And wash your face thoroughly.”
“Wash my face?”
“The lipstick mark.”
“…”
“It feels icky.”
His face turning slightly red, he rubbed her cheek a few more times with his thumb and then turned away.
Kang silently watched his retreating figure.

“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.]
