Even though it was time to delve into why this woman came at this hour, I had run into a major problem.

"Isn't this sexual harassment?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am naked in an open-air bath right now, and across from me, Miss Baek Seol-hee is sitting in her long padded coat."

I was currently naked.

Even though it was an open-air bath, I naturally went in naked because I reserved it for myself.

What if someone saw me?

Did you think there would be a CCTV in the open-air bath that came with a place that costs 5 million won per night?

Absolutely not.

There might have been in the past, but not now.

To protect the privacy of the visitors.

Thanks to this, the fact that Baek Seol-hee was here now and I entered the bath naked would not be recorded anywhere like CCTV.

However...

"Miss Baek Seol-hee. Why aren't you averting your eyes?"

"Why does it matter when you can't even see anything because of the hot spring steam and water?"

"If the genders were reversed, it would have caused a huge scandal."

"Really? I saw a woman entering the men's bath in clothes and dragging a man out by the hair in a public broadcast drama."

"......."

I wanted to argue about what would happen if the genders were reversed, but Baek Seol-hee looked too depressed right now.

"You really can't see anything, right?"

"Yes, I can't see anything. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't. Just like how Mr. Do Ji-hwan can't see inside my long padded coat."

Baek Seol-hee was still wearing her long black padded coat that reached her ankles.

The one comforting fact was that there was nothing on her wrists.

"You came leaving your Taeguk Watch behind. Good for you. If it were known that you were tracked by your Taeguk Watch and were with a man on Ulleung Island, Miss Baek Seol-hee, you would probably have been caught in a scandal of the century."

"Yes, so I took off the Taeguk Watch to avoid a scandal. By now, those people up there probably think I am drinking beer and enjoying myself in the dormitory."

"Did you have a fight?"

"Yes, a big one, a very serious fight. In that sense... Could you give me some counseling?"

"Hmm."

I was unsure why Baek Seol-hee saw me as a garbage can for dumping her resentment of higher-ups.

This was a negative view. On the brighter side, it meant that she found me comfortable.

She hadn't yet figured out that I was the Goblin.

If she had, her eyes wouldn't be like this, and she would be more wary of me, but it was not like that at all.

"Alright, what exactly did those higher-ups do to provoke Miss Baek Seol-hee?"

"Human decency."

"Hmm... Considering what happened today, there can only be one answer."

Just like with Red Scarf, the answer was already there.
