I don't know what to do, Ms. Yeoju. I'm going to lose anyway, but I hate the way she keeps giving in. You loser, Ms. Kim Yeoju, I don't have the confidence to survive here.
"What are you doing, Miss Yeoju?"
"..Huh? Oh, I'm just being sarcastic. Why?"
"Because your eyes are unfocused"
"Is it common for people to have bright eyes when they're dazed?"
"Haha, that's right."
For Yeoju, a few seconds of silence felt like hours. Jaehyun, who found Yeoju awkwardly fiddling with her hands,
"Miss, can I ask you one favor?"
"Yes, of course."
"Would you like to switch our dates? Jiye-si and Yeoju-ssi."
Let's switch the photos, so Yeo-ju with Jae-hyun, and Ji-ye with Tae-san. Isn't that what Yeo-ju wanted? Yeo-ju's mind is divided in two. One is, "Let's do it since that's what I wanted." The other is, "Well... deep down, I don't want that. I don't want to see Tae-san and Ji-ye dating to the point of breaking the rules."
"Hey, that's the rule."
"..I know..um..it might be a bit much"
"It's embarrassing...lol"
"That's possible! Next time, I'll listen to everything I can."
"Oh, this is kind of touching."
"The first thing I learned here was Jaehyun's scene."
"Oh, this is even more touching."
A conversation with Jaehyun is perfect for making Yeoju feel better. It's a bit of a strange request, and I'm sorry I couldn't grant it even though I knew there was a 99% chance that the two of them were in an X-relationship, but at least Yeoju has no intention of giving up the right to date Taesan to Jiye. Um... Because she's petty? It's not like that. She just hopes that Taesan won't be able to make a fresh start? It's a curse. You say that's petty?
"Don't be foolish, Han Tae-san. I'm cursing you, not wishing for you."

"What would you like to have for dinner?"
"Would you like to make kimchi fried rice?"
"We also grill meat."
"Oh..! I'll make kimchi fried rice! I'm good at it!"
Oh, our Yeoju is also short, so she is quite cute among people. As Yeoju's pride and special skill of eating was mentioned, she tried to make up for the fact that she was not able to properly digest one person's portion.
"Oh, then the heroine and I will make it."
"No, Mr. Unhak, aren't you making 50 servings?"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Jihyun, who's teasing Unhak, sneaks out between them and sets out to find ingredients. Then, they even decide who will grill the meat. It's Taesan.
"Is this amount of rice enough?"
"No?! Mr. Unhak, there are eight of us."
"So, something like this..."
"....Are you eating a lot...?"
"Eating two bowls of rice per meal is a given."
The V sign that people make and the V sign that Unhak makes are completely different. It's so funny. Our heroine is now laughing so hard she's about to collapse. Unhak seems a little disappointed.
"Oh, then let's increase the amount."
"Yes, you put spam in it too?"
"??no,"
"Aren't you going to put it in? Evande."
"You have to put it in. Just take it all out."
I really like Unhak. I tell him to take out all of them, but he takes out 10. I give him some self-control. Maybe it's because we're the same age, but the two of us are very comfortable with each other.
"Hey, Unak!! Eat some meat!"
"Hey bro, wow, awesome"
Unhak, who followed the sound of meat, or Taesan, who called out while talking to Yeoju, or Yeoju, who didn't like it a bit, didn't pay any attention and focused on eating kimchi fried rice.
"Would you like to put some meat in there?"
"..Uh..Egek??!"
". Haha.. Uh.. I'm sorry"
"No... act popular..."
"So, should I put it in? You're an expert on kimchi fried rice, aren't you?"
"Me?"
"You made it for me every day"
Oh my..! Yeo-ju, who was once surprised by Tae-san Han who secretly approached her while focusing on the meat, and twice surprised by Tae-san Han who quietly said something like that, dropped the spatula she was holding on the floor in true chaos. Yeo-ju's expression at that time must have been a bit funny. Seeing Tae-san laughing...
"Hyung, hyung, it's really delicious."
"No, I was going to put it here anyway."
Taesan leaves first after saying those words. Yeoju is confused as to whether he dropped the spatula or his heart, but the person who caused the confusion is unfazed. Yeoju is the only one who is surprised again, the only one who is taken aback again.
'Is he crazy? Hey, is he crazy? Are you kidding me? That crazy guy is crazy from start to finish.'
"You dropped this, Miss."
"Oh, yes."
"No, Taesan hyung, you're really good at making meat. Have you tried it?"
The meat Taesan grilled for me was something I ate until I was sick of it. I don't think I've ever eaten any other meat. Yeoju still vividly remembers the taste. There's no special recipe. Whenever they were camping together, she always took care of Yeoju before herself. Um... Yeoju was more impressed by Taesan's affection than the taste of the meat. I thought it tasted good because of that affection, but it was actually because he cooked it well. But what should I do now? There's no Taesan to cook just for her.

It's not easy to eat while avoiding Taesan Han's eyes that keep meeting while eating. The thought of having to go on a date with him tomorrow makes me... well, I don't know how to feel. It's not like I like it, but I don't like Taesan Han dating other people. Ah, our Yeoju, that petty Yeoju, I don't think she'll ever be able to wish Taesan Han happiness.
The dishwashing team has been left to the rest of us, except for the kitchen staff. Yeo-ju is resting in her room. She's proud to say that meeting Seong-ho and becoming close to him is the best thing she's done in the three days she's been here. Jae-hyun and Ji-hyun have also become quite close in just three days. But? What good is it if all these good things are buried under one entity? She doesn't know how to deal with Tae-san, who keeps approaching her so casually, or how to feel about this.

(dripping)
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"? Why are you just staying here?"
"Can I come in?"
It's Seongho! Yeoju, who was sitting at her desk, calls her in. Yeoju, who was almost lost in her own daydreams, is not left alone by Seongho.
"Ms. Kim Yeo-ju, you didn't look for me on purpose."
"No! I crawled all the way to the floor."
"ㅋㅋㅋI didn't see you much today so I came to check it out"
"Oh, intimacy."
"lol"
"But this is a bit of an excuse, I wanted to say it first before you even think about it."
"I think I like you"
Huh? This isn't what Yeo-ju thought. Seong-ho was definitely the person she became closest with after coming here, but honestly, from Yeo-ju's perspective, Seong-ho isn't a very comfortable person. But Seong-ho, who likes her, wouldn't it bother her if there was definitely X here? Does he really like her? Yeo-ju thinks that Tae-san is so annoying that she's dying.
"Just don't get confused."
If you say it so openly, there's no need to be confused, but is it weird that you're more confused because of this? Actually, I didn't come here to meet new people.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
💬Aren’t you curious about Taesan?
Whether it's painful, happy, or hateful,
I'm just coming out to meet new people
No, I'm going to curse you
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
In fact, Yeo-ju never wanted to go out there. It was crazy. Meeting Han Tae-san again here and flirting with another man while he was flirting with another woman was beyond common sense. But she was really curious. What would he be like? If he met her like that, she would be able to know his feelings a little more naturally. Because she was a shy Kim Yeo-ju, she just hid a little and watched. But the Han Tae-san she saw here was completely normal, and after the day he talked to her, he became even more normal and shamelessly treated her like the first time.
Seong-ho, who likes you, I'm so sorry, but there's no room left in Yeo-ju's heart. I'm using it all to heal the wounds, and I used up all my heart when I met Tae-san.
"It won't get serious, I'll just take it easy."
"...You know, oppa, you're a good person, right?"
".......okay"
Did Seong-ho notice that she had rejected him with a roundabout way of saying, "I don't have time right now. It's not that I don't like you." He seemed a little bitter. The door closed, and Yeo-ju was left alone in the room, feeling empty. Other people would be attracted to someone approaching them like this and spend more time and energy with them, but she couldn't figure out where she was wasting all that time and energy. "A truly empty heart" is the right way to describe it.

Yeo-ju, barely awoken by the sound of footsteps from busy people, finally wakes up. Morning has finally dawned, and today she must face the real Han Tae-san. Yeo-ju, too, is getting ready to meet the busy crowd. Her wavy hair is straightened, her tint and makeup are gone, and she's wearing wide-leg pants she never wore before. Yeo-ju has put her hair up to prevent Han Tae-san from seeing the Yeo-ju she once knew.
When I went to the first floor, I saw Taesan Han and Ju Yeo coming down, who were playing very comfortably with Unhak.
"Good morning, Yeoju."
I hate Taesan so much I could die, Taesan I hate so much, what's so great about him that he smiles whenever we make eye contact, Taesan is the same as before, Yeoju loses again, I guess I can't help but feel like my thoughts of ignoring and hurting him are finally fading away. It's also true that my weakness is Taesan.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
'How was your date with Taesan?'
"..One thing is certain..I'm not a strong person."
"How was your date with Yeoju?"
"I always feel the same way."
