"It's a shame. I want to ride more."
"Then should I rent it out? So we can skip the line and just ride together."
"Ugh. Stop kidding around and let's go quickly. The teacher will be waiting.
This is no joke...

After returning home from the field trip, memories of my time with Yeoju began to flood back into my mind, one by one. The amusement park I'd thought was the worst turned out to be quite a satisfying date spot. It was a day filled with truly inexplicable emotions.
It was at that moment that the phone started ringing.
Sender: Director Choi
"It's not just Young Master, but I heard that Ms. Choi Yeo-ju is currently hospitalized. It seems like it's because she overworked herself at her part-time job."
"part time job?"
"It seems that he did it to pay off the hospital and housing expenses that the master had provided."
"Why didn't you report it sooner?"
"We just found out about that. Sorry."
"Then, quickly take a picture of the hospital address and send it to me."
"all right."

Seeing the female protagonist lying in the hospital bed, drenched in a scalding fever, I felt a surge of anger. She must have gone to the amusement park and then started working part-time. Then, when her fever rose, she took medicine, but in the end, she endured it and foolishly endured it until she finally had no choice but to come to the hospital. As my thoughts grew bigger and bigger, I felt angry again.
"Oh. It's Taehyung."
And then he looked at me and smiled faintly. Why on earth did he smile like that? What was so good about smiling when he was sick?
"Choi Yeo-ju. Why on earth do you work part-time?"
"I have to pay you back. It might be a little slow, but I will definitely pay you back. First, there is 1 million won in the bag. I earned it for a month, so take that first. After I get a job, how long will it take to pay you back?"
"stop."
"Choi Yeo-ju. Listen carefully. The 1 million won you told me to take after earning it in a month comes to me just by breathing for a few minutes. But do you really think you can pay off that VIP ward and the house fee, which you earn on 1 million won a month?"
"Yeah... maybe I'll never be able to pay you back like you said, but I'll still pay you back as much as I can."
"No. When we first signed the contract, you said you would do whatever I said. That's why you have no choice but to follow my orders unconditionally. And since I've already decided to quit all my part-time jobs, you should understand that."
