The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan

Chapter 198

"..."

"And why should I trust you?"

"I might not have been trustworthy at the time, but I'm trustworthy now."

"I'm not buying it."

I pushed Jihyeok's phone away, avoiding the gaze of the members who were still talking noisily. While Jihyeok put his phone back, I took out my own phone and remained silent for a moment.

'What should I do?'

I almost agreed to accept Jihyeok's offer to let my guard down, but at the same time, I was also thinking that maybe this was all part of Jihyeok's plan.

If I think naively, the 'alliance' that Jihyeok requested from me could have been a very innocent proposal.

I mean, I didn't I pick Jihyeok in the last game? Considering the odds, he might have thought I wouldn't pick him again, so he could've suggested it to create a relatively safe alliance.

'But if this is just a test, it could actually screw me over.'

If he made an alliance offer to me to see if I was his Secret Santa, Jihyeok would want to keep me by his side and keep an eye on me by forming an alliance.

'...Wait, why am I thinking so deeply about this?'

As I felt my thoughts growing deeper and deeper, I suddenly felt a sudden sense of vertigo and ended up chuckling faintly.

Just like the members who had become serious about the game (halfly as a joke) that was meant to be fun, I was also thinking hard.

'Well, it's a good thing to be entertaining...'

Broadcast-wise, it wasn't a bad thing because the members' fierce thinking and actions would create fun scenes.

So, after ignoring the sudden urge to give in, I let out a small sigh and wrote a message on my phone to Do Jihyeok.

Jying-

"..."

At the sound of the vibration, Jihyeok looked down at my phone. He nodded to me as if he understood, then went back to talking to the members.

|Sorry, I already have an alliance.|

I had bluffed and rejected Jihyeok's offer of an alliance.

'He must be curious.'

He'll be busy trying to figure out the identity of the ally I saved. After the company selected their Secret Santa, the members stayed together until they got in the car, and not much time had passed.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to accept Jihyeok's offer, but there were too many things to take on.

'First, I have to reveal who my Secret Santa is... I think Jihyeok would easily figure out that I'm lying.'

Not only was he very perceptive, but if I mentioned another member and it turned out to be a lie, there would be no turning back.

If it's a lie that won't work in the first place, it's better not to tell it at all. In that case, it's better to keep the risk factor as far away as possible.

Jihyeok might have suspected that I had chosen his name again when I told him that I had found an ally in someone else, but it was better than having the most dangerous person by my side.
