21. Paradise that doesn’t seem like Paradise

MP2: So, you’re an accountant? *nods with a wide smile on his face* That’s a nice job. I’m actually a pilot.

Jisoo: Oh really? *spaces out right away*

MP2: Is something troubling you, Jisoo-ssi?

Jisoo: *weakly shakes her head* S-Sorry, I just got a little dizzy with that aeroplane ride.

MP2: At least you weren’t shaking in fear like Irene-ssi.

Jisoo: *remembers MP2 went with Irene yesterday* Ah, right… Irene-ssi. She seems pretty interested in you. Why didn’t you choose her for today?

MP2: Really? *smirks before crossing his arms* It’s too early to settle for one person. I want to get to know everyone first. I’m just really glad you sent me the ticket.

MC3: W-Wow… I really admire her honesty but… I didn’t know she actually swings that way too.

MC2: What is that saying again? Pasta is straight until it’s… Nevermind. I think she was really moved by Seulgi-ssi. Our Seulgi-ssi is that charismatic!

PD1: *facepalms* This is so chaotic.

22. Night in Hell Island

-Since Irene is around, Seulgi didn’t miss the chance to be with her even though it means she has to participate in whatever kind of pastime she and the boys decided to do.

-When it’s finally time to sleep, the two go back to their quarters and silently go to their beds. The atmosphere between them isn’t good since Irene keeps on drawing distance to Seulgi.

Irene: *gasps audibly when she felt her bed shake* S-Seulgi-ssi?

-She sees Seulgi leaning by the foot side of her bed, her back facing her.

Irene: Seulgi-ssi, is there a problem?

-Seulgi doesn’t face her, the MCs are all silent.

Seulgi: I guess it still burdens you, am I right?

-Irene stays silent, she knows exactly what th
