It was time to exercise.

While he was running and after he had finished working out with his trainer, he exercised whilst holding the smartphone in his hand.

Before, a smartphone was used for only two purposes: to check the time and receive work info.

However, now Hyeon-Woo Lee’s KakaoTalk was constantly popping off.

‘Isn’t it time I hire a personal assistant?’

Lee Hyeon-woo, who was frantically going to and from one KakaoTalk chat after another to keep in touch with everyone, finally landed himself in trouble.

It had been 4 days since the last training session of Yerin’s.

She had to put up with being left alone for quite some time because of her mental illness.

But rather than letting her explode by prolonging the wait, he knew that it would be beneficial for everyone to call her over once and manage her.

-Is it? Come to my room in a little while.

-Now? 

I’ll be right there!

– No, for fucks sake.

-Can’t you read Korean? 

-I told you to stay out for a while. 

-Come back in 2 hours.

-Yes! Yes!

-Okay! 2 hours later! I’ll be there!

-Is it because you’re working out right now?

‘What? I never told her what I was doing. How did she know? Hopefully it isn’t…’

Hyeon-Woo Lee glanced around where he was.

It was because he thought that if it were her, she might have actually followed him even to the gym while tailing him.

However, there was no one that appeared to be her in his immediate surroundings.

In the first place, there were only a few people in the gym because it was the morning, so if a woman like Lee Yu-na had entered, there would have been a bit of an uproar as all eyes would have been focused on her.

If so, no matter how hard Lee Hyun-woo was exercising, there would have been no way he wouldn’t be able to find her.

‘This isn’t PTSD. Let’s not overthink it. The education went well, as far as I’m aware.’

Hyeonu Lee tried to shake off the scary thoughts.

The effects of her previous education were still ongoing.

As proof of that, 4 days had passed, but Lee Yu-rein hadn’t come and disturbed him.

She had even refrained from making phone calls and KakaoTalk texting him as much as possible.

He guessed that he had just guessed his daily schedule and hit him with that. 

At least, Hyunwoo Lee hoped so.

But it was not good to worry too much.

Even if he continued to be paranoid about her presence, she would slip up eventually and then he could strike.

Lee Hyeon-woo, who was well aware of her personality, struggled to shake off his negative thoughts.

‘But if she does that again....’ 

Re-education would be needed.

———————— [Yuna]

-(Good morning emoticon) 

-Chairman, did you wake up? 

-Greetings from your favourite girl.

-Lol

–I woke up. I’m working out right now.

-Wow, you exercise every day.

–I’m sure you look like you’re in great shape!

-Yes.

-To look good for Yuna, I have to work out hard.

-Ahaha...

-You’re being like that again.

–I won’t be fooled anymore.

-Are you serious?

-What are your thoughts on my question today?

–Are you willing to go out with me?

-Aha! Really!

–I’m not going to date you!

-I was rejected again (balling tears emoji)

–Isn’t this the 5th confession and the 5th rejection? Already?

————————

Lee Hyun-woo giggled and continued texting on KakaoTalk. 

Among his textees, the one he put the most effort into was Spring Summer AKA Lee Yu-na.

Among the female streamers sponsored by Lee Hyun-woo, he liked her looks the most.

She had a fresh and bright personality, so when they talked, she would always make him laugh.

Besides, she was also a virgin.

“Who are you working so hard to text on Kakaotalk with?”

The devil had arrived.

Lee Hyun-woo’s expression, which had been let loose, hardened in an instant.

-I don’t think I can talk anymore because the devil has just come.

Hyunwoo Lee confidently expressed the one who just spoke as a demon even though his trainer was watching. 

His trainer’s smile broadened.

He was laughing, but it didn’t truly look like he was laughing.

-Devil?

–What are you talking about?

-Indeed.

–The devil who lives in the gym. 

–See you later on your stream.

–(bye emoticon)

“Then, member. Isn’t it about time you come exercise with this devil? Was it the upper body today? You can look forward to today’s regime.”

“Huh huh, huh huh.”

In a small officetel studio…

Yerin Lee was humming a song as she dressed herself up. 

Today was the day she would finally meet up with Hyunwoo Lee.

Although she had stayed in the room next to him and had been carefully observing him, she couldn’t boldly appear in front of him, and sniff or hug his body.

That was why she was really happy when she received Lee Hyun-woo’s permission.

‘As expected, Hyeon-Woo loves me too.’

She imagined that it was just that he couldn’t express his intentions clearly.

She also understood him well because she was the type to be clumsy with how she expressed herself.

Such was the pain of not being able to express one’s feelings properly.

“Ah!”

‘Ugh.’

She had touched a bruise on her cheek while applying makeup with a foundation brush.

It was a wound that hadn’t fully healed yet and was still sore.

She hated pain, and she hated hurting even more.

But when she felt the pain of this wound, she would smile without even realising it.

Because this was a wound that Lee Hyun-woo had carved on her body.

To explain it in another way, it was like an expression of his love.

“Ha, Hyeon-Woo…”

‘I miss you. I can see you in an hour. This long waiting period was very painful and difficult.’

Lee Ye-rin tried to quell her loneliness by calling out Lee Hyun-woo’s name.

But the more she thought of him and called his name, the more her loneliness and feelings of obsession grew.

“Phew... I want to see you soon. Anyway, how should I deal with this? Sheesh.”

Lee Ye-rin flipped through the photos stored on her computer one by one.

In it, there was a picture of a family home and a man smoking a cigarette out front.

And then there was a picture of that same man entering the house. 

It was a very raw image of a person’s daily life.

“Jung So-rim... To have a boyfriend and to still be wagging your tail at Hyeon-Woo. This is the first girl. I’ll show you, Hyunwoo. All the other bitches besides me are just two-timing bitches. Haaa.”

Yesterday afternoon, she did what she had to do because she couldn’t figure out where and who Lee Hyeon-woo had driven around.

Bread, Yeojjing, Spring Summer, and Park Ha-neul: 

CCTV cameras had been installed in front of these four houses. 

However, it was not easy to install CCTV in front of So-rim Jeong’s house, since she lived in a family home.

So, she had tried to come up with something else instead. 

And she got back a result.

She was living with a man.

Lee Yerin wondered if she wasn’t at home at the time, since she couldn’t get a picture of the man and Jung So-rim together.

But now that she had found out that they were living together, it was only a matter of time before Jung Sorim would be separated from Hyunwoo Lee.
