After the three-legged race ended,

Shin Si-woo checked the camera himself and rewound the video.

‘It definitely looks like I was the reason she fell.’

When he watched the playback, it seemed like Shin Si-woo suddenly increased his speed, causing Ha Ye-rin to trip.

While it could certainly be interpreted that way, Shin Si-woo wasn’t overly concerned.

“I’m sure the production team will edit it out.”

He believed the production team would handle it without issue.

“Alright, everyone competing in the next event, please come forward!”

Shin Si-woo shrugged off the situation and moved on to the next event he was participating in.

This one was palm push.

The unique thing about it was that it was a mixed-gender competition.

Of course, the males had a penalty where they could only attack and could not pull their hands back without faking.

Since Shin Si-woo wasn’t particularly interested in the prizes for the sports day, he planned to perform just enough to get himself eliminated.

However, in the first round, his opponent was….

“Shin Si-woo from the Blue Team! His opponent is Yoo Seol from the White Team!”

“Waaah!”

It was Yoo Seol, practically the captain of the Rookies.

“Hooh…”

As soon as he realized he was up against Yoo Seol, Shin Si-woo’s eyes gleamed a little.

‘I won’t let this slide. I’ll report this to our company for action, just so you know.’

He still remembered how Yoo Seol had thwarted him last time.

He glanced at Yoo Seol, the opponent for the palm push, and quietly asked, just out of the microphone’s reach, “Is Ye-rin okay? She’s not seriously hurt, right?”

“……”

Until now, Shin Si-woo had always referred to Ha Ye-rin with proper honorifics, but this time he dropped the formalities to provoke Yoo Seol.

In response, Yoo Seol retorted, “Keep Ye-rin’s name out of your mouth, you loudmouth.”

What she said came out as a whisper that wouldn’t pick up on the mic, but the sting was real.

Thanks to this, Shin Si-woo couldn’t help but admire her a bit.

“You’re quite skilled at cursing while smiling. You handle the camera well, huh? …I guess being a trainee for a long time helps.”

“……”

Yoo Seol merely smiled silently at Shin Si-woo’s jab about her long trainee period, which he considered another weakness of hers.

Seeing her smile, Shin Si-woo thought he had already won and declared, “Okay, let’s start the first round of palm push!”

At the MC’s signal, the match began.

Snap!

It started as a casual palm push, but realizing his opponent was Yoo Seol made him want to win more than he intended.

Yoo Seol was also putting up a strong fight, determined not to lose.

However, in the end, overcoming the strength difference between a man and a woman was a challenge, and the match began to lean in Shin Si-woo’s favor.
