Chapter 165: 165
Slap – Slap –
The sound of something hitting the water.
The water ripples.
The sound of water slapping against the sides of the boat.
"..."
Click! Click!
A boat rocked on the vast ocean, riding the waves.
And on that boat stood a blonde-haired girl with a large cannon camera, relentlessly pressing the shutter.
Sophia, who had been capturing Jin Yuha in the camera lens for a while, lowered the camera to take a short break.
It was just after the time allocated to Kang Do-hee had ended.
"...Ugh, he put his arms around her waist."
Sophia's clenched fists trembled, but she quickly regained her composure and shouted.
"Ha, but it's fine! In fact, it's better! I can just erase Kang Do-hee from the photo where he have his arms around her waist and insert myself instead!"
Today was truly a special day for Sophia, a day of grace.
Although she had been deprived of the right to go on a 1-on-1 date with Jin Yuha due to Shin Se-hee's scheming, she was honestly fine with it.
Thanks to not having to stick together as a group, she was able to secure some personal time, allowing her to capture rare and unseen moments of Jin Yuha with her camera.
'Haa… How can a person be so handsome? He's always been crazy handsome, but today is even more…'
It was clear that something had happened after they caught the mine.
Jin Yuha's beauty had only intensified, and Sophia, who had always been enamored with his looks, had fallen even deeper.
Sophia's pupils dilated as she scrolled through the photos she had taken.
Gulping, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Usually, his hair falling forward gave him a pure yet risqué look, but today, with his bangs swept back, he exuded a purely risqué and dangerous charm.
And to top it off, he dared to wear only a single piece of swimwear, a bold fashion choice!
When he was playing in the water with Lee Yoo-ri, he looked like a bewitching sea nymph.
And when he was swimming with Kang Do-hee, he resembled a mischievous boy scout proposing a forbidden bet.
How could someone's face be so consistently handsome?
She had taken countless photos that were worthy of being kept as lifelong treasures.
Even when she took casual snapshots, his visuals broke through the camera lens, and when she took the time to compose the shots properly, the results were destructively attractive.
Just then, the middle-aged woman who had been gripping the steering wheel and sweating profusely behind the wheel let out a groan.
"Ugh, miss… How, how much longer do we have to stay here? It's, it's already been two hours! In fact, I get seasick, so ugh─!"
"...Didn't you just ask me to take care of it earlier?"
"Th, that's because I didn't know we'd be here this long…"
"Here, I'll give you more. Just keep your mouth shut and endure for one more hour."
Thud.
Sophia took out another wad of cash from her bag and handed it to the driver.
But the woman's expression suddenly stiffened.
Thud.
The woman gripped the steering wheel with a determined look.
"Ma'am, just leave it to me! I was born on the sea and decided to die on a boat. If you tell me what to do, I can do it all day."
Sophia gave her a jaded look at the woman's dramatic change in attitude.
Then, she turned back to her camera.
"...Aack! Just for a moment, where did Jin Yuha go?"
The camera lens frantically searched for Jin Yuha.
And soon, she captured the backs of two people entering a suspicious-looking building.
Seeing this, Sophia let out a hollow laugh.
'...Ha, do you want to hide completely out of sight?'
Sophia zoomed in on the building they had entered, trying to get a better view.
'It looks like they're eating. Hmm, it's about time they got hungry. Not a bad choice.'
Sophia nodded.
Although it was difficult to discern exactly what was happening inside, the blurry movements of their bodies allowed for some rough guesses.
But this was useless to photograph.
Jin Yuha's figure wasn't clear enough!
"...Ugh, this damn blur! Always getting in the way like this!"
Sophia, who had been turning the camera this way and that in search of a gap, bit her lip.
Just then─
'Hmm…?'
Sophia's head, which had been holding the camera, slowly turned to the side.
'What are you doing now…?'
As if they had finished their meal, the two got up from their seats.
And just as they were about to leave─
Lie down…?'
Suddenly, the figure that looked like Shin Se-hee lay down!
'Why? Why are you lying down all of a sudden?'
And the figure that looked like Jin Yuha sat on top of her!
Sophia's pupils lost their light.
The driver beside her, who had been shivering, frantically rubbed her arms.
"...Are, are you okay?"
"..."
Sophia, who had been silently observing the scene, took out a small pair of earphones from her pocket.
'I prepared this just in case some trash, blinded by Jin Yuha's looks, tried to kidnap him…'
Sophia had done Jin Yuha's makeup today.
As Jin Yuha was a famous person with a well-known face, she wanted to give him a different look when he was out and about so that he could freely enjoy the sea.
Having worked as a model herself, she had some experience with men's makeup.
And while transforming his image, she had planted something.
It was a tiny recording device, smaller than a pin, that could pick up live audio.
'I didn't plan to use this…'
After all, Jin Yuha had his personal privacy, and there was a sense of resistance to eavesdropping on his voice.
'That's too much like a stalker.'
Thought the stalker who was currently in the process of taking candid photos.
'But isn't this an unavoidable situation?
Jin Yuha is lying down alone with a member of the Utopia Party in an enclosed space.
This is a situation that needs to be confirmed for the sake of the party's survival.
Beep─
As she put on the earphones and pressed the button, voices flowed out.
And the voices she heard were shocking.
─ Ji, Jin Yuha!? Jo, just a little more, sa, sa-l-sal!
'...Huh?'
─ Endure it, you'll get used to it.
'What do you mean endure? Get used to what!? What's going to get better!?'
Sophia's pupils trembled uncontrollably in confusion.
─ This isn't something you can get used to! You're too much!!!
─ Let's change positions. Lift your hips a little.
─ Mm! There, there! That's, that's no, I can't! I, I'll die!!!
─ It's okay. I'll be gentle. Relax your body.
─ Kkueeeeuuuk! Haak!
The woman's seductive moans and the man's soft, soothing voice.
Although it was the opposite of the usual dynamic between men and women, that didn't matter.
'...'
Sophia's eyes went blank.
Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She had shown incredible endurance today.
Even when Shin Se-hee intentionally excluded her and Lim Ga-eul to serve her own interests.
When Jin Yuha and Lee Yoo-ri stuck close together like childhood friends, engaging in intimate skinship.
When Kang Do-hee and Jin Yuha enjoyed a pseudo-romance, walking with their arms linked.
She had endured it all.
But seeing Jin Yuha genuinely happy made her think it was worth enduring.
But could she endure this?
'This?'
No, absolutely not.
She couldn't forgive that woman for monopolizing Jin Yuha, a member of the Utopia Party, and trying to seduce him.
'Now that it's come to this, it's war.'
Whatever was happening in that secret space, she had to see it with her own eyes.
"Driver."
"...Huh?"
The driver, startled by her cold tone, replied in a flustered voice.
"Go ashore now."
"...Now?"
"Hurry!!!!"
"Yes, yes!"
The driver hurriedly raised the anchor and prepared to return.
But it was already too late.
Sophia, looking anxious, took out her phone and called Lim Ga-eul.
Trrring─
Click─!
The call connected even before the signal tone could finish.
─ Junior? What's up?
"Where are you, Ga-eul?"
─ I'm waiting for a tornado potato.
"Tornado and what? Hurry! Go to where Shin Se-hee is! Bring the other party members too!"
─ Huh? But we still have time left. Why bring the other party members? What's going on?
"Jin Yuha's chastity is in danger! It may already be too late...!"
─ What, what!? Oh, I got it! I'll take the kids with me right now! The location is marked!
Vrooooom─!
The boat sped through the water, propelled by Sophia's urgency, heading straight for Jin Yuha..
