Today is the 3rd day of our week long plan. The first day of training for those who signed up for the tournament. We also need to train. I haven't had time to check my combat and other skills.

"Baby, I still can't train today for combat. I'm still on my period. I'll easily bruise. But I can do driving and weapons. How about you?" Jen asked me.

"Let's both do yours. Are you sure you're up for this today?" I said looking at her hits from that night.

"Yes. 100% sure! It doesn't hurt anymore. Except for the shoulder one. But it's bearable. I'm not going to lie down here today while you do something productive. I'll get bored and probably practice shooting inside your penthouse" she whined.

"Okay okay. Come with me. Do you want to invite Yeji and Chae?" I asked her.

"Yeah. Sure. If they like. Yeji is starting to grow on me actually" she said and I raised my eyebrow.

"Do you like her now?" I asked weighing if I should tell her my theory.

"Kind of. She's not that bad. My first impression of her was really off, I think. Maybe I just got jealous. But when she's away from you, I don't get jealous. So maybe I'll just snatch her away like yesterday so she can't throw those looks at you while blushing the whole time" she told me.

"You're oblivious about some things babe. Don't get mad at me and just listen to my theory first before you deny it. I think she doesn't like me like what we assumed" I started telling her.

"She doesn't? But she gets shy and all blushy around you. Uncomfortable even, not to mention fidgety. She sometimes throws those sharp looks on you.." she said gesturing with her hands in the air.

"Those looks for me might be because of her jealousy. Very subtle looks though. Yesterday I did nothing but to observe her. Since you decided to ditch me and sat with her. I had the perfect view from across me, to observe. And I'm telling you, I have keen eyes" I told her smirking.

"What do you mean? Wait.. are you thinking that.." she stopped looking like she's replaying everything that happened yesterday on her mind.

"Now you're starting to see things from a third person POV. What do you think?" I asked her.

"Wait.. This feels weird now. It makes sense but really? It's me all along?" she asked in a whisper.

"I think so. Chaeyoung is thinking the same thing. We both noticed it yesterday. You almost killed her yesterday without you knowing. You're a natural flirt babe. You didn't even do it on purpose" I said teasing her.

She slapped me as expected, "I didn't flirt with her. That's how I naturally am with people"

"That's what I said. Natural. But going back to the topic, if that's the case, then the details of our plan is going to change too. Right? That means..." I trailed off for her to finish the thought.

"I'll be the one to distract her. Ohmygosh!" she said wide eyed.

"Exactly. That's how I felt too. And you know, I now understand how you might have felt when you were grilling me about her. The jealousy, it's hard not to feel that. Now that our roles have been reversed" I told her.

"What am I supposed to do? This will be awkward. She was supposed to be my rival with you. Now we're being teamed up and you're the third wheel. It sounds weird" she said a bit in distaste.

"Why is it weird if it's you who's having an affair and not me?" I asked furrowing my brows.

"You're the chic magnet between us. I'm more like a douchebag magnet. I didn't know I can get women's attention that much too. I mean, if I was put beside you and they have to choose if it's me or you I'll have a crush on..I'll definitely choose you!" she said.
