SangMin, Jong and the girls were seated at the dining in an inn for a meeting. It might be months for you guys but for them, it's been just a day. Finally making it to Kiss City, they decided to rest and set a meeting the next day. They were the only ones in the reception where the dining was also located. No one was around, not even the manager or the workers. For the reason, I don't know and they don't know either.
Sung-Rae: Are you the narrator?
Narrator: Don't start with me.
****👿****
Anyway,
The whole place quiet, in fact too quiet but what worried them more was SangMin. He hadn't said a word since they sat for this meeting. He just had his arms crossed across his chest and seemed to be in thought.
Jin-ah, Yoon-Ae, Chae Eun, Ha Ji and Devi were worried. With Jong, he couldn't think much more be worried about his nephew. Mi Do sat close, too close, with his hand wrap around Jong's arm, pressing his arms on his boobs distracting the man. Sigh, I feel bad for you Jong.
Anyway, Soon still hadn't been turned back, she was in fact, asleep in the big bottle with holes on it so she could breathe which was also his nice home as SangMin said.
Jin-ah, Yoon-Ae, Chae Eun, Ha Ji and Devi shared a look. Asking each other who was going to wake Sung-Rae from his thoughts and asked him whether he was okay. On second thought, of course he wasn't. Ah Reum left and it was all their fault. If only they remembered to tell her that they were also on their way to Love City for the queen, maybe she wouldn't have left to protect them.
Ha Ji nodded and it was decided she was doing the asking.
"Su..." Ha Ji didn't get to finish her sentence when Sung-Rae exited his thoughts, looking at them as he said, "Tell me Yoon-Ae, which colour would look perfect on Ah Reum?"
"Why?" Yoon-Ae asked. Was Sung-Rae finally losing it? had it reached that point? "I want to get Ah Reum a gift when we meet again" Sung-Rae said with a smile. The girls thought it was good that Sung-Rae was thinking of getting Ah Reum gift when they met. That would be a good distraction. "What type of gift are you buying?" Devi asked with a smile on her face.
"Pant!" he didn't even hesitate. 'Should have thought so' they all said in mind. Jong cleared his throat, trying to separate himself from the predator beside him, more like on him like a lizard on a tree but the woman just won't let go. What a stubborn lizard.
"And maybe I will also get some underwears" Sung-Rae looked at them with beaming eyes. "Tell me, which colour will look good on her? black? blue? orange? indigo? violet? brown?" Sung-Rae kept mentioning the names of colours. They shared a look and Jong looked like he was saying something. They didn't need Jong to say out loud because they could interpreted it with the look on his face. "Do something' he said and they also replied, 'Why don't you?' Feeling defeated, Jong sighed and looked at Sung-Rae.
" I think black will look good" Jong faced down in embarrassment while Mi Do had a frown on his face. She didn't like that Jong said black would look good on Ah Reum when he hadn't said what would suit her first.
"What about me?" she asked. They all turned to look at Mi Do. Looking at her like they couldn't believe what they just heard. "What about me?" Mi Do repeated. Jong swallowed the lump in his throat, his cheeks redden. "W....white" Mi Do grinned and nodded happily.
"I'll definitely buy white panties and underwears when I go to town and I will show them all to you when I get back"
"I don't think I want to see them"

Sung-Rae divided them into two teams. Team A and Team B. Team A consisted of Mi Do, Ha Ji and Chae Eun who were to go to the guild and look for a job complete while Team B which was him, Jong, Devi, Yoon-Ae and Jin-ah, took the job of finding about the Queen of Love City and the cat masked man. Team A was to look for a job at the guild because they needed money. A lot of them. They wouldn't be able to reach Love City without money.
Personally, Mi Do didn't want to part of Team A. He wanted to be with his darling. Damn! she missed him already. "Are you seriously about Jong?" Mi Do exited out of her thoughts, looking at Ha Ji who asked the question like she was stupid for asking.
"Of course, have you seen this side of me before?" Mi Do stopped when she saw Ha Ji and Chae Eun stopped in their tracks, looking at Mi Do like they couldn't believe he just said that. "Yes!" they both answered at the same time. The two had known Mi Do for like forever, they knew everything about her. Her past and present. And she had always shown that lovestruck, stupid and dumb look every time she saw a handsome guy she was chasing after.
"Tsk. Whatever" Mi Do said and walked towards the building of the guild. Ha Ji and Chae Eun both shared a look. They shook their heads and watched as Mi Do entered the guild building.

On looking through jobs, Mi Do looked for the easiest and quickest job possible. She wanted to be done with the job and go look for his Jong as she missed him. Chae Eun and Ha Ji tried to tell her that, the easiest and quickest jobs didn't pay well and they needed a huge sum of money but Mi Do pay no heed. Like an idiot she was, she ended up starting a friend with Chae Eun and Ha Ji. They exchanged harsh words and insults. Boiling with an intense anger, Mi Do decided to take a job of her own choice and accomplish it without their helps.
Ha Ji and Chae Eun only replied to her 'Do whatever you want'. They were also fed up with Mi Do's behavior. Did she think she was the only one who wanted to quit this job? They also wanted to quit. They wanted to be with Sung-Rae. They knew this was the only chance they would get to spend time with Sung-Rae because it won't be the same after they reached Love City and met up with Ah Reum.
Sung-Rae loved Ah Reum, not them so they had no chance in a relationship with him. This short trip here was their only chance to spend time with their love and they wanted to seize the moment as best as they could.
They chose a job which pay well but was dangerous and disgusting after Mi Do left. Their friend chose the quest which required her clearing the backyard of an old lady. The 'Cleaning Job' she took while they chose the acquired horns of liape. The pay was good but the job was going to be hard and dangerous but that was Okay. They were going to get what they needed most and what Sung-Rae wanted most. Maybe Sung-Rae would be proud of them and even praised them. Knowing that was enough to get them through the job.
They came out of the guild and took the left direction, going out of town and heading for the forest where the demons were known to appear visible. Liape were dangerous animal demons. Their forms were like wolves with horns. They had sharp horns and sharp teeth. Their tails had sharp needles on the skin and skins were tough, hard and rough like walls, — som— something like that.
Cleared throat! Anyway, they had unlimited strength and speed. And they were also hard to kill. To face such dangerous demons was like courting for death.
They both sighed as they knew they had gotten themselves into a deep shit with no way out. Okay, it wasn't like they couldn't ditch the job and look for a new one but none of the jobs pay as much as the one they were currently going to work on.
