"Ah, oh..."

For some reason, whenever I tried to rest alone, it felt like someone was always visiting me. As I opened the door grumblingly, the attendant dressed in a black suit greeted me politely and opened his mouth.

"Master called you."

"......"

The good feeling fell into shatter in an instant.

Ten days had already passed since the Gulupdo Island Gate incident. In the meantime, I had deliberately turned off my attention from Cheon Sa-yeon's news, so I couldn't even guess why he was calling me.

The words "I don't want to go" came up to the end of my throat, but I swallowed it and nodded. Anyway, as long as it was a cooperative relationship with Cheon Sa-yeon, there was no way to avoid it.

'...let's just endure it for two months.'

If all the gates in Seoul were resolved, this partnership would come to an end. Only then might I be able to get away from Cheon Sa-yeon and left this place.

As I headed straight to the top floor following the attendant, I met Woo Seo-hyuk, who just came out of the representative office.

"Han Yi-gyeol-ssi."

Woo Seo-hyuk, who approached me right away, opened his mouth as he looked at my body from top to bottom.

"I heard about the Gulupdo Island incident. It said you were seriously injured."

"I was treated well. I'm fine."

"That's a relief. Are you here to see the Master?"

"Yes. He called me."

At those words, Woo Seo-hyuk put on a somewhat hesitant expression.

"Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi?"

"...just in case, Master is not feeling well today."

"Pardon?"

I tilted my head at the sudden sound. Not feeling well? Cheon Sa-yeon?

"Actually, it's been a few days, not just today."

"Um. Is that so?"

"Yes. Even if you come to nitpick for useless things, it is better to understand and move on for today. It can be dangerous if you accidentally touch it."

"......"

What on earth did you think you were worried about if he felt bad? I replied with an awkward smile.

"I understand. I'll deal with it in moderation. You can't stop seeing each other just because you don't want to see them."

"That's true."

At my words, Woo Seo-hyuk immediately nodded his head and agreed. I had been thinking for a long time, but Woo Seo-hyuk was pretty shameless because it didn't fit his image.

"Then I'll get going now. See you next time."

"Yes."

After a brief conversation, Woo Seo-hyuk left, and I, who was left alone, carefully grabbed the doorknob of the representative office.

I thought I would only hold out for two months, but when I went in, I only sighed. I opened the door to the representative office, forcing my eyebrows to bloom, which was constantly tense.

"You come."

As soon as I entered, I saw Cheon Sa-yeon sitting on the sofa and looking at the documents. Cheon Sa-yeon, who found me, put down the documents and smiled softly.
