## Chapter 247 – (21)
“No, I understand. Seeing the prize, it looks like Ms. Ella needs it more.”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s right.”
“Ah, now that I think about it, I already have a beer commercial, so another company’s ad would be a bit…”
“Right, right.”
“The important thing is after the program ends, right? Right now, it’s just broadcasting. Broadcasting.”
“Huh?”
Is that how it’s going to be?
She’s thinking of seeing me even after the program ends?
The last day.
We were out in the lobby.
Jessica, upon hearing that Ella and I had become a couple, poured out her feelings, and I just chimed in appropriately, comforting her.
Since we had each other’s numbers, it wasn’t like we couldn’t contact each other after the broadcast.
That’s right, maybe after the broadcast, I’ll see Jessica, overflowing with popularity from many fans.
Maybe I’ll go find her then.
If my strange, twisted desires are triggered.
Anyway, whether it was because my comforting worked or not, Jessica’s hamster-like puffed cheeks returned to her usual soft cheeks.
However, this time, Ella was the problem.
“Ahem, uhm…”
Like a villain in some movie.
As if afflicted with a disease that prevents her from suppressing laughter.
Her lips twitched, and she burst into a small laugh.
Is she that happy?
We’re just a couple on the program, but if she’s this happy, I even feel a sense of guilt.
On the last day, they woke us up early in the morning.
Everyone was milling about in the lobby with slightly sleepy eyes.
Some were sitting on the lobby chairs, catching up on lost sleep.
I was sleepy too, but the thought that it was finally the last day made a little dopamine rush through me.
It wasn’t easy for someone experiencing their first broadcast.
I lived trapped by cameras and microphones for a week.
Of course, I could turn off the microphone whenever I wanted, but even considering that, it was a very tiring week.
At the same time, I spent every day surrounded by beautiful women, though—.
Come to think of it, that’s been the case ever since I got the quest.
There were fewer days when that wasn’t the case.
Uhm.
Looking at it like this, I was living a happy life.
For reference, a total of two couples were formed.
Ella and I, and… the couple of two participants whose names I still don’t remember well.
‘…Listening to their voices…’
It sounded like that couple who were having sex in the dressing room first.
Thanks to them, a situation was created where I could easily target Ella, so I thought that couple deserved to win.
They said that there were many special things prepared for the last day besides the winner announcement.
The first of those things, which Jessica, Ella, and I already knew, was the announcement of the winning conditions and the prize.
Everyone looked shocked.
Some looked regretful, saying they should have voted for each other to become a couple.
And for the second thing, we were out in the lobby from early in the morning.
[Everyone, please welcome them with a big round of applause.]
“They’re coming, they’re coming!”
“Hoo…”
“Who could it be?”
Everyone was looking at the main entrance, anticipating.
The first one to enter was a tall woman.
I think she had an average, or rather, moderately pretty appearance.
It’s just that I’ve been living in this resort, so my standards have risen.
‘Who is it?’
“Wow!”
“Isn’t that her? The comedienne?”
“Clap, clap!”
Everyone shouted and applauded, welcoming her.
The second thing was to actually meet the panelists from the situation room.
To determine the final winner of this program, they decided to spend a day with the participants in person, not just in the situation room.
Starting with the female comedienne, the panelists from the situation room continued to enter.
A famous rookie female idol, a male idol with a veteran career. A comedian who frequently appears on dating programs.
The reaction to the first comedienne was weak because I honestly felt like, ‘Who is she?’
But the reaction grew bigger as it went on.
So much so that even I looked at their faces and wondered, ‘Where have I seen them before?’
If I’m thinking that, they must be famous people.
‘Then, slowlyㅡ.’
As expected, a familiar face came into view from afar.
Honestly, I thought I would only meet her after the broadcast ended.
But it seems the time for our reunion has been brought forward faster than I thought.
Her long legs and slender waist, her gait that even felt imposing, allowed a glimpse of Hanna’s appearance as a model.
The reaction from the surroundings was different from before.
“It’s Hanna!”
“It’s really her!”
I don’t know who shouted, but everyone cheered.
‘Was she this popular?’
I knew she was famous.
Someone said that it’s rare for a model to have as many schedules as Hanna.
Also, those schedules were diverse and quite valuable.
From popular entertainment broadcasts to photo shoots for famous magazines.
Even liquor commercials that so-called stars film.
Nevertheless, in one corner of my heart, I thought Hanna wouldn’t be this famous.
Because the Hanna in my mind was a slightly famous influencer on Instagram.
That was definitely the case when we first met.
Hanna, the Instagram star with a slightly stiff expression.
That Hanna is now coloring her face with a smile for the broadcast.
Hanna slowly entered through the entrance and bowed to the participants.
Everyone made a fuss over just that.
Hanna glanced at me and raised the corners of her lips.
Feeling that wasn’t enough, she even gave a slight eye smile.
“Did you see, did you see? Ms. Hanna looked at me…!”
“No, at me…!”
She’s popular.
I chuckled and nodded slightly towards Hanna.
I felt a gaze from the side and looked to see Ella looking back and forth between us with a dumbfounded expression.
“…It’s real.”
“I told you it was real.”
The truth of what I said before was revealed.
The fact that Hanna told me to come on this broadcast.
It was proven by Hanna smiling at me.
Finally, a person called a famous MC entered.
I also knew who he was.
I don’t watch TV often, but I bought it expensively, so I turn it on sometimes because it’s a waste, and every time I do, he appears quite often in entertainment shows.
[Panelists, what are your impressions of seeing this resort in person…]
“First of all, I felt it when I saw it in the situation room, but it’s very bigㅡ”
As soon as the question was asked, the MC snatched it up.
His quick wit was amazing.
And his tone was somehow stable.
You could say it’s easy to listen to.
“Wow, it’s like watching the broadcast.”
“I know, right.”
The cast members said in unison.
…It is the broadcast.
It’s not like we’re watching it on TV, but.
Certainly, the panelists who came out of the situation room and the participants had different broadcasting skills.
It’s like when you look at them, you can imagine how it will be edited and come out on the broadcast.
[Please tour the resort with the participants.]
[After that, when it’s lunchtime, move to the campsite for a barbecue party and mention the famous scenes selected by the situation room…]
“Oh, barbecue!”
“It was worth chopping the firewood.”
“Hyung chopped all the firewood, why are you feeling rewarded…”
“Let’s go together!”
“I’ll introduce you!”
As soon as they heard that, the participants and the panelists from the situation room gathered in groups and started moving.
I thought the participants would naturally flock to the idols or Hanna.
But they flocked to the MC or the famous comedian.
…They’re realistic friends.
They knew how to get on the right line.
Two or three people tentatively approached Hanna.
“Sorry, I’m going to hang out with those people.”
Hanna said, pointing this way.
Then the participants seemed to give up cleanly.
Hanna approached and greeted Ella.
“Nice to meet you. I enjoyed watching you in the situation room.”
“Ah… um… y-yes…”
“You’re so pretty in person!”
“T-thank you…”
Ella received the greeting with an awkward expression.
There were two reasons for this.
The first was that Ella was a fan of Hanna.
The second was that, despite that, she had become a couple with me, Hanna’s boyfriend, and even had a tryst in the dressing room.
Look at that expression full of guilt.
‘There’s no need to.’
The mastermind behind all these events was right in front of Ella’s eyes.
To feel guilty in front of such a mastermind.
Hanna probably noticed that Ella and I had a tryst at the department store too.
Anyway, whether it was because of guilt or not.
Ella guided Hanna around the resort even more diligently.
She explained everything in detail, from the lobby to the restaurant.
In fact, Hanna probably already knows it well even if she doesn’t explain it that much.
Because she saw it through the cameras attached to every corner of the resort.
Still, Hanna was listening to the explanation, obediently following behind Ella.
Sometimes, as if her playfulness was triggered.
While listening to Ella’s explanation, she gently stroked my side with her hand.
Anyway.
I also wanted to grab her swaying butt in front of my eyes.
But I endured it with superhuman patience.
I just have to hold on for one more day.
Finally, Ella introduced the rooms.
“Wow, you slept here.”
She wasn’t talking about my room.
She was talking about the tent where Ella and Kang-ryul stayed.
“Haha… once you get used to it, well…”
Ella scratched the back of her head awkwardly.
That’s right, you slept well.
“Really, nothing happened between you and Kang-ryul in this narrow tent?”
“Really, nothing happened.”
Ella laughed and waved her hand at Hanna’s playful question.
“Well, Kang-ryul is a bit passive.”
“Hahaha…”
“Sung-han is proactive. Right?”
“…”
Gulp.
It sounded like I could hear Ella swallowing her saliva from here.
Ella, who had a guilty conscience, was quite obvious.
You could say she couldn’t hide her expression.
Hanna’s words didn’t stop.
She slowly approached Ella and whispered softly.
“How was my Oppa?”
“Ah… th-that… wh-what…”
Ella’s two pupils shook violently.
