Episode 18

One by one, the men in suits entered Kim Lanly's room.

"I've told you, there's no one I let in." Kim Lanly blocked their view towards the bed. "You'd better leave, my father must need you."

"No, your father is currently at a company meeting with the chairman of another company. The three of us came here to check on someone you brought into the apartment. We've checked outside and there are traces of someone else in the house, you are not alone, Miss," one of the family guards said, looking at Kim Lanly with a serious face.

Kim Lanly's face, trying to look serious for a moment, turned panicked, then she shook her head. "No, it's just your imagination. I've been alone the whole time."

The guard's eyebrows twitched, then he looked at the two microphones on the floor. "Who is the other microphone for?"

Ignoring the guard's statement, Kim Lanly tried to push the guard in front of her towards the door. Unfortunately, her strength wasn't enough to push a big, muscular man like her guard.

On the other side, Vino, hiding under the bed, looked at several pairs of moving feet around the room.

From inside, Vino could see feet stepping around to find him. He could also hear Kim Lanly's conversation.

Realizing this was an emergency situation, Vino took out his phone to take a picture of Kim Lanly's room from under the bed.

After that, Vino closed his eyes to do something.

Just as Vino closed his eyes, one guard was about to crouch and look under the bed.

However, Kim Lanly's hand held the guard's body to prevent him from looking down. "What are you looking under the bed for?! That's impolite! My belongings are there! You are not allowed to check there!"

Kim Lanly's expression became more panicked, her heart beating fast, afraid that Vino would be caught by her three guards.

"Please be quiet, Miss. We want to check your safety, it's for your own good too. The person you brought into the apartment might not be good. As family guards, we have to ensure your safety and security. So, don't obstruct us anymore," the guard who was about to check under the bed said coldly and deeply.

Seeing her guards' faces change from serious to frightening, Kim Lanly's throat felt constricted and it was difficult to say her words.

"I- I...."

Kim Lanly surrendered and did not hinder her guard from checking her entire room to find Vino.

When Kim Lanly saw her guard looking under the bed and not reacting at all, she furrowed her brow in confusion.

After looking under the bed, her guard stood up and continued the inspection to the wardrobe and something that could be used as a hiding spot.

Kim Lanly, astonished, with widened eyes, then lowered her body to check under the bed.

There was no hiding Vino underneath, which surprised and confused Kim Lanly.

Her pupils moved to every corner under the bed, but she still couldn't find Vino who was hiding inside.

Kim Lanly muttered in disbelief, 'Where is he?'

At the same time, Vino was standing near the dormitory alley holding a jasmine flower cared for by the neighbor.

"They should still be trying to find me there. I have to wait here for a few minutes, wait until they leave," Vino murmured while touching one of the jasmine flowers.

Taking his phone, Vino tried to send a message through the Rental Boyfriend app to Kim Lanly.

However, Kim Lanly didn't immediately open his message.

Vino thought Kim Lanly was still being checked by her guards. He didn't have time to look at his phone himself.

Bored of standing in the quiet dormitory alley, Vino finally decided to go to his room to relax on the bed.

Not waiting for more than 10 minutes, exactly at half past noon, a message came from Kim Lanly informing that they had left.

Still in his prone position, Vino closed his eyes to teleport once again.

It required high focus to remember the destination.

With that, Vino's figure disappeared from his bed, and appeared under Kim Lanly's bed.

As Vino emerged from under the bed, Kim Lanly jumped in surprise with a frightened face.

So startled, Kim Lanly lost her balance and was about to fall without screaming.

Instinctively, Vino moved very quickly to hold Kim Lanly's body, which was already leaning dangerously.

However, Vino was unaware that he was supporting Kim Lanly's body in an ambiguous position.

Vino's right hand wrapped around Kim Lanly's slim waist, their both hands met in a romantic way. Kim Lanly's tilted body made Vino slightly bend with their faces close together.

So close that Vino could feel Kim Lanly's breath. And so could Kim Lanly.

They stared at each other for a minute, maintaining their romantic and sweet position.

Salsa Dance skills were used. Their pose included movements from the Salsa Dance.

Kim Lanly's entire face was very red, then she softly said, "Um, can we stand normally, my legs feel stiff."

Vino, who was gazing at Kim Lanly with captivating eyes, immediately released his embrace.

Feeling Vino's strong hand disappear from her waist, Kim Lanly's heart felt regretful.

"Are you okay?"

Rubbing her calves, Kim Lanly nodded. "Yes, just my legs feel a bit stiff."

"Want me to massage them?" Vino offered his help.

Kim Lanly's hand stopped, her eyes glanced at Vino suspiciously. "You must want to take advantage of me."

"No. I just want to help you, and I have skills in massage," Vino replied, waving his hands.

Hearing Vino's words, Kim Lanly was reminded of her request on the strange app on her phone.

The man in front of her should have all the criteria she selected. Massaging and a few other skills should have been mastered.

However, Kim Lanly remembered her strange list of requests.

Thus, Vino's offer was accepted on the basis of confirming the skills he possessed. Whether they matched her requests or not.

For 5 minutes, Vino gently massaged Kim Lanly's calves, the woman closed her eyes and wanted to sleep.

Kim Lanly felt an indescribable comfort, and couldn't resist.

Kim Lanly's mind slowly became empty and only her heart moved her body.

As Vino's hands focused on gently massaging Kim Lanly's calves, a hand touched her chin, then something soft kissed her lips.

Vino's eyes widened, he saw Kim Lanly kissing his lips with a Korean style.

Calming his mind, Vino slowly responded with gentle and precise lip movement.

Vino's hands shifted to touch both of Kim Lanly's cheeks, making them feel this warm feeling even further.

A Master Kissing Skill was activated. A skill requested by Kim Lanly herself.

The incident lasted for more than 10 minutes, before they decided to stop it because there was something that needed to be done.

"Let's continue later, for now we have to leave before my guard returns to check," Kim Lanly said, looking into Vino's eyes so closely.

Vino felt incredibly amazing for being able to kiss the famous idol, hearing Kim Lanly's words, he nodded immediately and prepared to escape.

Unfortunately, both of them were confused about how they would escape as the guards usually patrolled in the apartment lobby.

"Put on your mask and hoodie, I know how."

After that, they both covered their faces with masks to not be easily recognizable. Kim Lanly wore a black jacket matching Vino's, and wore the same mask as well.

Kim Lanly wore culottes pants so she could move freely.

They both exited the door of Kim Lanly's apartment with indifferent expressions, walking slowly towards the elevator while they both lowered their heads.

"Once we reach the lobby, you go out first, and wait for me in front of the apartment."

"I understand."
