Chapter 280 - Public Humiliation

Meanwhile, across the resort.

Jisoo finds Minjae in the hallway.

"Hyung?"

"Yeah?"

"Is it really mean that I'm relieved she's gone?"

Minjae stops. Looks at Jisoo properly.

The maknae looks genuinely worried. Guilty.

"No," Minjae says gently. "It's not mean. She made everyone uncomfortable. You're allowed to feel relieved when a source of stress is removed."

"But she didn't do anything to me specifically."

"She didn't have to. You saw what she did to Haejin-hyung. To Doyun-hyung. That's enough." Minjae's voice is firm. Kind. "Being relieved doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you human."

Jisoo nods slowly. "Okay. Thanks, hyung."

"Anytime."

They continue walking. The tension from the past week slowly draining away.

In another part of the resort.

Doyun catches up to Taekyung.

"Yo. Real talk."

"What?"

"She was predatory, right? I'm not overreacting?"

Taekyung stops. Looks at Doyun directly.
