Somewhere on the island, far away from the others but not too far.
Alex is currently dealing with the problem that he has been avoiding.
"So you are Alicia's brother?"
Yan avoided nonsense and got straight to the point.
He has two choices.
1. Apologize
2. Blame her
The first option is the safest, but depending on the individual, it can lead to disaster.
He did not know much about her aside from the fact that she is not very good at communicating and her other secrets while making love, so he is hesitant to apologize.
The second option is essentially a gamble.
In the first place, she always blocks him when he tries to tell her that he is not her boyfriend.
Her misunderstanding resulted in a bad decision.
Now, which one should he choose?
Not even half a minute had passed before he began to speak.
"Yes, I am."
"Why? Why you—no, you know I truly misunderstand the situation, and when I offered myself to you, you took advantage of it."
"Make it faster. Are you breaking up with me or not? If we stay here for a long time, they may try to find us."
Instead of the two options, he selects a third one.
Be a retar—a proud man.
He would neither apologize nor blame her.
After all, he did not feel like doing either of the two options.
He is a hypocrite who takes pride in his accomplishments, so why would he be shy about them?
She was left speechless after hearing his response.
At this point, she realized what kind of person he is.
She is been with him for a few days now, and not only her body but also her heart are getting in touch.
She learns how selfish he is, how he has always wanted to control everything, and how much he craves familial love.
There are other things she learns, but that is not the point here.
Instead of becoming annoyed or negative as she learns more about him, she feels closer to him.
It is as if there is a thin barrier between her and the other side, and the other side tells her to approach it.
She realized that the moment she met Alex, she was unable to escape his grasp.
While waiting for her response, a notification appeared on his smartphone, prompting him to check it.

He is puzzled.
The increase in her heart is unsurprising given his smartphone, but what confuses him is the sudden sound coming from it.
It used to be in silent mode or something similar, but why is it making a sound now?
He had not given it much thought since she had started talking.
"You are too cruel..."
She approached him unexpectedly, and their lips briefly touched.
The temptation that she has felt for the past few days has come to an end.
She decided to throw the rope she was holding and fall deeper into the pit, which she had accidentally fallen into.
She could not get out anymore.
Well, she does not want to.
After all…

Her kiss became increasingly passionate as time passed, and Alex had no way of stopping her.
However, it would be a lie to say he did not enjoy this moment.
It took another minute before she forcedly pushed him.
She remembered that others might notice that they are missing, so they should return as soon as possible.
"I will go first."
She ran away from him because she was embarrassed.
However, while running, she touches her lips, and a smile forms on her face.
It is embarrassing, but surrendering herself to him made her feel like her problem was mostly solved or something.
Anyway, she did not need to think about it for the moment and continued walking back to the beach.
…
After volleyball, the girls continue to swim in the water.
At this point, Schwartz, Katarina, and Monica realize Alex and Yan have vanished.
"Alicia, your brother is not here."
"Do not worry about him. He is in good health. He will return later."
Katarina decided to tell her because she might have forgotten about him, but it appears that despite knowing he had disappeared, she did not panic.
They thought her brother complex was severe, but it does not appear to be.
However, that was their initial thought, and as she continued to speak, their perspective shifted again.
"After all, I did use locator magic on him. I also added a danger sense magic so I could detect if he was in danger. As long as it did not activate, it means he is fine."
They are astounded by her words.
They wanted to know if she had even asked for his permission to use magic like this, but they quickly realized that this was not the case.
She is beyond hopeless.
Anyway, they chose not to intervene and instead enjoy the summer.
"I will go to the bathroom first."
"Okay!"
Schwartz needs to release unwanted liquid, so she goes to the nearest restroom and is released here.
She was about to return when she overheard voices talking somewhere.
Curiosity draws her in, so she follows the voices, but what she discovers is quite surprising.
Are Alex and Yan hugging each other?
No, they are kissing each other.
'They are kissing… not just a normal kiss but an adult kiss…'
She immediately went into hiding and watched the remainder of the show.
She holds her lips for a second, thinking about what she would do if she were in that situation.
The more she watches, the more her imagination runs wild.
This was the first time she had seen two people kissing passionately, and it felt like a new door had opened for her.
Unconscious, she placed her index finger inside her mouth to feel her tongue.
It seems strange, but according to the novel she read, kissing another person is similar to licking your finger.
This is incorrect, but knowing this misinformation caused her to lick her finger.
Yan eventually pushed Alex and ran away after a few minutes.
Schwarts woke up from her stupor and realized what she was doing, so she stopped herself.
She is very flushed right now, giving the impression that she has a fever.
Returning to the beach, she felt ashamed of her actions earlier.
