Lee Hyun-woo, who woke up late due to continuous physical exertions from the previous few days, finished his morning training and returned back to the hotel room instead of his home.
The reason for that being...
"Why, dear?? Why can't you just tell me where you're staying so we can be together?!"
It was because of Lee Ye-rin, who quickly became the biggest stumbling block in Lee Hyeon-woo's plans, trying to arbitrarily put in place her happy imagination for the future.
She announced a break in her streaming career for the time being.
She claimed she would be back when the aggro around the gossip eased.
But that didn't really matter in this case.
What happened after she made that announcement, was the problem.
In Lee Hyeon-woo's thoughts, it was obvious that Lee Ye-rin, who had taken a leave, would definitely come to find him.
And then he would become mentally and physically stressed while trying to manage her.
So, he wisely evacuated before that could happen.
At this point, he thought it would not be such a bad idea to stay in the hotel until he could find a new, and better, house, so he booked a long-term stay.
And by paying monthly, the cost of his lodging was a lot cheaper.
"Did I not tell you? Turn on your stream, and I will let you know when I explain it properly over stream."
"No, but that...."
"Noona. No, Yerin Lee. Do I have to say it's an order for you to understand? Please just follow me. If I say A, then don't go and say B. OK?"
"...Okay. I'll stream again. I will do it! But, will you join my stream then?"
"That's right. I'll go in and shoot you some coins when the explanation is over."
"Can you tell me where your hotel is now?"
"You will know soon. Don't worry, you're my noona so I wouldn't keep you in the dark forever."
"Tch. Okay. I'm going to hang up because I have to prepare for the stream. See you later."
For the first time, Lee Ye-rin hung up the phone first.
It was proof that the taming was working.
If it was the Lee Ye-rin of before, she would have been obsessed with finding out his whereabouts until she heard what she wanted while screaming.
This was a good sign.
Lee Hyeon-woo had got Lee Ye-rin to listen.
He can dominate her!
"Next..."
After finishing the call, Lee Hyun-woo finicked around with his smartphone.
He had got quite a lot of notifications while working out.
The next texter was Spring Summer: Lee Yu-na.

'Did she send a long KakaoTalk message because she was surprised by what Lee Ye-rin did during the call yesterday?'
It was truly the KakaoTalk's that revealed her true personality.
In the MBTI [T/N: Personality test] scale, she would definitely come back as an E/J (extroverted/judging).
Lee Hyun-woo, who was slowly sifting through his KakaoTalk, immediately called her back.
"Yes! Hello?"
"Oh, it's me. Is it okay to call?"
"Yes! It is fine."
"The report was well received. But the photo of you wearing a costume… did you use photoshop or an editing app?"
"No. I just pictured it and sent the raw image."
'She just took a picture and sent it, but that kind of beauty came out?'
Lee Hyun-woo didn't show it, but he was slightly surprised.
He had initially thought that her beautiful appearance was a result of not being able to clearly see her on the poor-quality screen.
But that was not the case at all.
Because she had the beauty of an actual goddess and only a small amount of that beauty came out with the image quality.
He had to see the real thing to know for sure, but it was certain that she had at least a Darling-level appearance.
"Did something go wrong? Should I make any corrections anywhere?"
"No, it's just that you are prettier than I thought. I was a little surprised."
"Ahaha... Thank you."
"Anyway, this report is very good. But when you go on air, you have to say it all one more time. And since we have to use it for a New Tube edit too, don't make things too rigid."
"Ah, yes! All right."
"Did you find an editor?"
"Yes! I looked around all the sites looking for editors. I contacted a few people, and in case I couldn't find one, I posted a message saying I was looking for an editor."
"Good job. And don't worry about the editor's salary. If you can do this, I'll make sure you don't have to worry about your salary either."
"Yes! Thank you!"
Lee Hyun-woo continued to talk with Lee Yu-na about how to proceed with the stream in the future.
It was really fun and enjoyable for him because it truly felt like a real-life streamer training simulation.
"Oh, when did you say your streaming hours were? I didn't have the time to look at the notice you put up."
"I'm thinking of doing it from six pm to midnight."
The time zone slightly overlapped with Yeojjing.
But it was not too bad though.
On the day he went to Yeojjing's stream, he would just skip Lee Yu-na's stream.
The reason was, his evenings were only ever booked for watching Yeojjing's streams previously, and so he would always be in her stream giving coins which might've seemed odd to others.
That was until Lee Yoo-na's stream happened to take place at the same time.
"Okay. Then I'll join your room tonight. Why don't you think about the content you want to do today?"
"Yes! I pre-made it! Do not worry!"
The phone call with the lovely high school girl finally ended.
