“Hey, Jihyuk. How tall are you?”

“suddenly?”

“hurry. How many?”

I answered Kim Jun-hyung’s question, who asked for the key out of the blue in the morning, questioningly.

“82. But why are you tall? Who do you want to introduce?”

“At 182… . dark eyes… .”

Then, as if to check something, Kim Junhyung looked at the phone and me alternately… .

“Are you dating Im Arin?”

He said all sorts of strange things.

“What kind of bullshit?”

“No, really… ! You have nothing to do with Lim Arin? really?”

I thought it was just nonsense, but Junhyung Kim has been curiously widening his eyes.

The strange sincerity in his eyes didn’t seem like a joke.

“… What.”

He made a strange expression as if he was really absurd, then hurriedly touched the phone and showed me a video.

“A Midnight Date?”

“Look.”

What Kim Junhyung showed was a video of Queens appearing on a famous talk show called ‘Midnight Date’.

‘Did you film something like this?’

I silently watched the video while swearing at the heavenly guild that was rolling Queens inside… .

[ Dark eyes, a manly face. He is 182 cm tall and looks a bit cold… ]

“… yes?”

I was surprised when Lim Arin mentioned her ideal type.

‘Is this me?’

Anyway, it was me.

“Is this you? Is not it?”

“… Well… .”

“You bastard, how can you leave a woman like Im Arin… ! You, but what about introducing a girl to me? He’s a really bad guy!”

Kim Jun-hyung teased me as if it was natural for Lim A-rin and I to be dating.

“You! i just saw If you get caught doing nonsense in the future, it will all come to Lim Arin!”

“What else? It’s not like that with him… .”

“It’s not like that, what is it! I’m sure Lim Arin has a heart for you. Otherwise, would you have even contacted me?”

“… What are you doing?”

I narrowed my forehead involuntarily and looked at Kim Junhyung,

He said that he had received a call from Arin Lim just a few days ago.

“Arin Lim said to take good care of you, and he even sent a gift card on purpose.”

It is said that he not only contacted them, but even sent bribes.

“What kind of Korean beef set… .”

“crazy… . No, why tell me now! and. Are you going to take it again?”

“Hey, of course I refused at first too! Look at this!”

I checked the message content and call log that Kim Jun-hyung showed me.

and… .

“!”

I was pleasantly surprised by the content more than I expected.

… …

[Queens Lim Arin: Please take good care of Junhyung and Jihyuk! I’m begging you! ]

[ Me: Oh, yes! Do not worry! ]

… …

There was nothing special about the overall content.

It was just a simple story to take care of me, to tell me if something special happened to me, and to tell me anything I needed in the future.

However… .

The real problem was something else.

… …

[Queens Arin Lim: Actually, I was worried because Jihyuk is very popular… ㅠㅠ]

[Queens Lim Arin: Please watch Junhyung from next to you… ! ]

… …

It was just that she was talking as if she had become my lover.

*

In the past few days, Arin Lim’s ideal type has become the hottest topic.

[Who is the lover of the Queens Archmage? ]

[ (Exclusive) Testimony from an official from the Cheonhwa Guild “It must be that person” ]

[ Did the members of Queens already know? ]

The media attracted attention by forcibly fitting people who fit Lim Arin’s ideal type.

Among them, my name as a producer appeared.

“Producer. How tall are you?”

“Why are you tall?”

“uh… . I’m just curious.”

“… 180.”

“Really? Isn’t it bigger?”

“… no.”

Thanks to that, I had measles out of the blue, and I had to lie to myself and block the rumors… .

He has not yet been able to communicate with the person responsible for the cause.

[ Arin: I don’t do anything on Sunday, maybe I’ll see you then… ? ]

I made an appointment with Lim Arin through separate contact.

In my mind, I wanted to go and have a conversation right away, but the time didn’t fit, and I had no choice but to meet on the weekend, as they said casually that we should meet and have a meal.

‘How do I solve this… .’

Actually, from my point of view, I was very uncomfortable with Lim Arin.

To be precise, ‘Queens”s crush.

It was a long time ago that I realized that they had a secret crush on me.

I’ve been with the Queens members for 10 years so far, so it’s strange that I don’t notice.

the problem is… .

The thing is, I can’t accept their hearts.

Read at readwn.com

My ultimate goal is to change the end of this world as always.

To achieve that goal, the strongest team called ‘Queens’ was created.

The Queens were not created simply by gathering people, but by thorough calculations.

In line with Seol Joo-hee, who was fighting alone in the original story, he led Hong Yu-ra and Lim A-rin, who could be the most suitable and helpful, as colleagues.

The team that barely made it into one was the Queens, and all three of them came to have a crush on me.

Actually, I didn’t really like them because all three of them were overly attractive girls… .

What if I accepted someone’s heart here?

If you accept Seol Joo-hee’s heart, it will affect Hong Yu-ra and Lim A-rin.

If you accept Hong Yu-ra’s heart, it will affect Seol Joo-hee and Lim A-rin.

If Arin Lim’s heart is accepted, it will affect Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra.

It means that the teamwork that has been built up at the most is crumbling down because of love.

However, it cannot be accepted by everyone.

No matter how close people are like family, no one wants to share a lover.

It was a situation where the word dilemma really suited it, but fortunately, all three of them did not cross a certain line and were able to come this far.

Of course, they are all useless now that I have left them, but… .

I can’t accept Lim Arin’s heart.

“… Producer.”

At that time, Seowon Jin, who was running on the treadmill, approached and spoke softly.

“… Today, I eat at home.”

“yes?”

“… Rice.”

“ah.”

When I said something, it was talking about eating at home.

“okay. Let’s eat home-cooked today.”

“… yes.”

I nodded my head, accepting her request without much thought… .

full-

Seo-won Jin secretly took a seat next to him and started wiping away his sweat.

‘yes? Have you already run?’

I was terrified of her natural movements, so I looked at the empty treadmill in front of me and spoke to her.

“… Seo Won-ah. Did you all run?”

OK.

“… … .”

Jin Seo-won pretended not to hear anything and began to drink the drink shamelessly.

I guess I did, but it seems like I’ve come to smoke again.

“… Shall I bring Hannah?”

“… !”

Seo-won Jin did not like to train with Han-na Bang.

Because with her passionate woman, I can’t do tricks like I do now.

“I’ll give you something delicious today, so go ahead and run.”

“… … .”

Jin Seo-won did not answer whether he was rebelling or not, and got up, and moved towards the treadmill, showing dislike all over his body.

‘cute.’

So after all afternoon training.

As usual, after having dinner with Jinseowon, I left the hotel and drove straight to Itaewon instead of home.

“Where have you been… .”

In Itaewon, a neighborhood where quite a few foreigners live, there are many places that sell imported or smuggled items.

When there was no item sponsor in Queens, I used to purchase overseas items that were reputed to be good value for money.

“found.”

This time I stopped at a small bar in the corner of Itaewon.

I squeezed an empty seat and drove down to the entrance of the bar that leads to the basement.

The end of the stairs was blocked by a brightly lit bookshelf-shaped wall, and when I pulled a book on the wall, the bookcase-shaped wall began to slide to one side.

hey hey hey hey… …

The interior of the colorful bar was finally revealed.

It was decorated with a luxurious interior, but it was a strangely cozy place.

“welcome.”

At that time, an employee came and greeted me as if he had been waiting.

“How many minutes do you have?”

“One person.”

“How would you like your seat?”

“To the top.”

The staff glanced at me, nodded as if they understood it, and then led me straight to the ‘sang-seok’.

“Have a good time.”

Contrary to its splendid name, the top seat at the corner of the counter table was a seat without even a chair.

It didn’t matter since I wasn’t here to sit down in the first place.

“hello. Guest.”

Then a bartender sneaked up to me and asked a question.

“Are there any drinks you are looking for?”

“Nightcap, cold.”

“What do you want your master to do?”

“With wine.”

Cold Nightcap, with Wine.

This is the password for entering the black market.

“Come inside.”

As I followed the bartender’s guidance and headed behind the counter, another stairway leading to the basement appeared.

And when I passed the stairs again and removed the tent at the end, a fairly large space was revealed in front of my eyes.

Murmur– murmur–

Itaewon’s underground black market is where daily item auctions are held.

‘It’s quite a lot.’

I came here to purchase items for Jinseowon.

He came to win the bid for the [Dark Dragon’s Gauntlets], which is evaluated as a D-class item.

‘Because it’s D-class… . Can we live without difficulty?’

The Dark Dragon’s Gauntlet is an S-rank item that appears in the original novel.

If you can’t handle the power properly, it’s only a D-class performance, so it’s a low-rated item.

“Let’s see… .”

So, while I was walking around the inside of the black market, I got a pamphlet to check the order of the auction today.

“what?”

Someone grabbed me from behind and pretended to know me.

“I didn’t expect to see you here… . long time no see?”

As I was looking at the pamphlet, I reflexively looked back,

“… !”

I was startled by the appearance of an unexpected face.

An alluring look with long purple hair down to the waist.

Her voluptuous body, wrapped in a sophisticated office look, revealed a lightly restrained charm.

“… Hyeri Lee?”

She is the leader of the Sejin Guild and one of her close classmates.

“Long time no see. how have you been?”

It was Hyeri Lee.
