……

After lunch, Lin Dajun, who was about to pay the bill and leave, suddenly heard a voice in his ear, "Yoona-ssi, are you sure you want to join the cult... oops, Yoona-ssi, are you sure you want to join the cult?"

"what?"

This made her turn around abruptly to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was speaking, her face full of confusion.

Lin Xiuyuan simply smiled and said, "It's about becoming a tavern member. You wanted to meet that girl, right? You need to be a member to see her. That's why I asked you, are you sure you want to become a tavern member?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dajun immediately hesitated, "There's such a thing? Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"It's not too late to say now," Lin Xiuyuan said with a smile again.

"How much is the membership fee?"

Remembering what Lin Xiuyuan had mentioned about membership fees during their last chat, she continued to ask.

"No rush, you can decide when to pay."

His nonchalant attitude surprised Yoona, who couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Aren't you worried I'll renege on my debt?"

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at her, his eyes calm yet meaningful, and said, "Don't worry, you can't renege on your promise."

After talking about this, Lim Yoona smiled and nodded, confirming her decision to join.

Then Lin Xiuyuan stopped arguing and gave a time, "Then it's settled, meet at the tavern at 8 pm, no problem?"

"no problem."

Later, as Lin Xiuyuan was about to leave the restaurant, he suddenly remembered something and gave Lin Yun'er a suggestion, "By the way, you should dress up nicely tonight, it will do you good."

???

……

It's 8 PM in 2025.

The drizzle outside the car window was still falling, light and gentle, but it looked exceptionally dreamlike under the streetlights.

When Lim Yoona arrived at the pub again, she did not get out of the car immediately.

The conversation from noon was still echoing in her mind, and finally her gaze fell on the plaque at the entrance.

[Relief from Worries]

"If your shop can really solve people's problems, then it's truly amazing, Xiuyuan."

After murmuring those words, Lim Yoona got out of the car and knocked on the door of the brightly lit tavern.

Lin Xiuyuan, who was already waiting inside, quickly opened the door for her and said with a smile, "You're right on time, Yoona."

"I just finished my work and came over. If you had asked me to come earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to arrive on time."

Once inside, Lin Yoona looked around and saw no one else, just the two of them. "Hey, Xiuyuan, didn't you say you'd introduce me to someone?"

"It's not here, it's on the other side."

As Lin Xiuyuan spoke, he glanced at her again.

They had wanted the other person to wear a blindfold before taking her there, but since they were alone together, it was obviously not a practical idea.

So he said quite readily, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you over there."

"Not here?"

Upon hearing that she had to leave the scene, Yoona, as a woman living alone, immediately became alert.

At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan was no longer as stubborn and rebellious as he was at lunch, and was much calmer. "It's just right next to us. If you're worried, that's fine. Just pretend our conversation at noon never happened."

Ok?
The same change in tone was also noticed by another person, but this time it wasn't Lin Xiuyuan, but Lin Yoona.

After listening to Lin Xiuyuan's unwavering statement, she paused for a moment, then looked up at the boy standing at the door.

Her lips pursed slightly, and a scale seemed to emerge in her heart, with reason on one side and the unknown on the other.

The next second, Krystal's figure suddenly appeared on that unknown end.

The balance began to tilt.

A loss of rationality led me to be suddenly pulled in an unknown direction by an invisible force.

So in reality, she gently said, "It's okay, let's go, I'll go with you."

This sudden change surprised Lin Xiuyuan slightly. He turned to look at her and chuckled, "Ah, aren't you afraid I'm the Rain Night Butcher?"

"I didn't say that."

Yoona, who had been a little worried just now, looked away guiltily.

Lin Xiuyuan didn't say anything more, but took an umbrella from the shelf next to the door. "Let's go. There's only one umbrella. We can share it, or you can come with me and get wet."

These words stunned Lim Yoona. "Why don't you be a little more gentlemanly and give me the umbrella?"

"Because what you just said hurt my feelings."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked into the rain. He glanced back at her, smiled, and said, "To be honest, I really think I was a bit reckless at noon. Why don't you go home and rest? We can talk about joining later."

"Why?" Yoona asked as she walked to the door.

"I always feel like I'm being too good to you."

This inexplicable answer made Lim Yoona frown slightly, unable to understand it at all. "What are you talking about?"

Before she could ask any further questions, Lin Xiuyuan had already walked into the rain on his own.

Lin Yoona was startled and quickly called out, chasing after him, "Hey, wait for me!"

And so, the two of them shared an umbrella and walked side by side toward the villa in the alley in the misty drizzle.

Lin Yoona, who thought she would continue walking inside, had a hint of wanting to turn back in her eyes, but then she saw Lin Xiuyuan stop in front of the villa.

She asked instinctively, "Why are we stopping? Aren't we still going?"

"arrive."

As Lin Xiuyuan skillfully unlocked the door, Lin Yun'er stood to the side, her face full of shock, "This is..."

"This is my home, please come in."

Two minutes later.

Standing in that lavishly opulent living room, Lim Yoona looked up at the crystal chandelier reflecting light from the ceiling. Her gaze slowly swept over the technologically advanced smart furniture around her, finally settling on Lin Xiuyuan, who was standing in the doorway, swinging an umbrella. "Xiuyuan, is this your home?"

"Is it weird?"

After putting the umbrella away, Lin Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Otherwise, what kind of place do you think we should stay in, a rooftop apartment?"

"Not really, it's just a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it? This place in Gangnam District is close to the commercial area, and this location offers both a lively atmosphere and a quiet neighborhood... It's amazing..."

"luck."

Hearing her exclamation, Lin Xiuyuan only offered a vague explanation.

Luck? What does this place have to do with luck?

It wasn't until she saw Lin Xiuyuan open the door with the brass lock that she realized he was the one who had opened it. He then gestured for her to go inside, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to join. Just so you know, you have to pay a membership fee."

Still completely bewildered, Lim Yoona smiled and replied, "Here you go."

Then, she took a leap across time and space, returning from 2025 to 2013.

Lin Xiuyuan followed him inside and gently closed the door. The sound of the pattering rain instantly fell silent, replaced by the quiet of an ordinary apartment.

And it's the kind of high-level position.

Looking at the view of the high-rise buildings outside the window, Lin Yoona turned back to the door she had just walked through and murmured, "Xiuyuan, weren't we just in the villa? How did we suddenly end up in a high-rise building?"

"Why don't you go take a look?" Lin Xiuyuan said, standing behind him.

Gradually realizing something was wrong, Lim Yoona slowly walked to the window and looked down at the street scene again.

This place is completely different from the 2025 she is familiar with. Looking up, the sky is high and the moon is bright, and it is a clear sky.

Her breathing quickened, her pupils trembled, her small hands clenched into fists, and she abruptly turned past Lin Xiuyuan, rushing towards the open door, wanting to return to the villa.

But when she opened the door, all she saw was a storage room cluttered with cardboard boxes; there was no trace of a villa.

When I turned to look at Lin Xiuyuan again, I saw that he was holding a 4S phone, a product from more than ten years ago, and was fiddling with the screen.

I don't know if it was because of the information overload I had been dealing with earlier, but my brain felt a little numb at this point.

So when Lim Yoona saw the other person's crappy phone, she wasn't surprised at all, only curious. "What? Why are you using this phone? Weren't you using an 16 Pro?"

"This is the phone here."

Lin Xiuyuan waved his phone and casually replied, "Okay, I've arranged a meeting for you with that girl who looks like Jessica. She'll be here later. Let's go downstairs and wait for her."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to walk to the door to open it when Lin Yoona grabbed his arm from behind. "Wait a minute, Xiuyuan, tell me what's going on."

She had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but she was still hesitant to believe it.

Why wasn't it a villa when the door was opened?

Why do people who come from the first floor of a villa end up in a high-rise apartment building?

Why are people still using products that are over a decade old, even though it's already 2025?

All of this was so bizarre that her body began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

It wasn't just confusion, it was more fear.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced back at her, his tone calm but slightly helpless, "I just feel that explanations are too weak. You'll understand in a moment."

When he first explained this to Jessica Jung, it took him almost half an hour, and he had to show her the news while explaining it, before he could barely get her to accept the reality.

So much so that he didn't explain to the later converts, but simply let them see for themselves and accept it for themselves.

The same applies now.

Looking once more at the "exit" that had been turned into a storage room, Lim Yoona realized that she had no way out.

So even though her voice trembled slightly, she could only nod and say, "I'll go out with you, but could you wait for me? I need to use the restroom."

When a person is under extreme stress and fear, the most obvious physical reaction is the urge to urinate.

Ten minutes later.

When Lin Yoona followed Lin Xiuyuan into that retro-style bar, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar decor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her nerves were no longer so tense.

Lin Xiuyuan, however, had already walked behind the bar with practiced ease. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Xiuyuan, you still can't tell me now?"

Yoona looked at him, her tone no longer tentative, but serious.

Lin Xiuyuan just smiled and said, "I suggest you have a drink; it will make it easier for you to accept later."

"What's going on here, Xiuyuan? Can we stop playing guessing games? I'm a little scared, seriously, I'm not kidding you."

"In that case, how about we just have a glass of whiskey?"

The two looked at each other, each speaking in their own tone, completely on different wavelengths.

until--

jingle--

The tavern doorbell rang.

Lin Xiuyuan glanced to the side, then looked towards the door, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Alright, Yun'er, your student has arrived."

Yoona's body stiffened, and she subconsciously looked towards the door.

Watching Lin Xiuyuan walk over to open the door, and then watching Lin Yun'er walk in from outside.

Then again you looked at me, and I looked at you.

At that moment, both of the Yoonas froze.

　It's not that I don't update, it's that I'm working. I'm not a full-time job, godfathers.

　　However, there will be another update later. I promised 10,000 words a day, and I definitely won't disappoint everyone.

　　So, please vote for me! Please vote for me!

　　Although there's no hope of making the top six, I still want to see what the limits of this book are.

　　Yoona: Maybe this is our only chance!!!
