Chapter 100: The 7th Round Ends (2)
At lunchtime, Ryu Min and Min Juri sat down for a meal together. This meeting was primarily for Ryu Min to share information about Round 8 ahead of time.
Is it too early to meet up? You seem a bit off, Ryu Min observed.
Min Juri was in a more fragile mental state than Ryu Min had expected.
Juri, whats wrong? Dont you have an appetite? he inquired.
Oh, no. Its delicious; its just Min Juri began, struggling to articulate her feelings.
Despite her appetite, she was wrestling with a significant emotional shock.
Was the illusion from Round 7 particularly distressing? Ryu Min ventured to ask, trying to read her thoughts.
I I dont know, Min Juri stammered, unable to bring herself to discuss it further.
She feared that lifting her head would reveal her flushed face, so she kept it lowered.
Oh Its not that it was distressing, but rather embarrassing, Ryu Min responded, empathizing with her.
Having discerned her thoughts, he coughed awkwardly, uncertain of how to proceed.
It appeared that, despite his advice, resisting temptation was more challenging than he had anticipated.
