New York, called the de facto capital of the United States.
New York City is not only the largest city in New York State but also the largest in the entire United States, and it’s a historic tropolis that can be called the center both economically and culturally.
Its scale is so vast that it’s considered a global city.
And this fa of New York…
Was not limited to just the world of ordinary people.
“In the Arican Holder community, it’s called one of the two mountain ranges.”
“Two mountain ranges?”
Kim Chae-eun asked again, seemingly curious and interested.
She probably already knew this from studying, but it seed she liked hearing it from again.
“Yes. LA and New York. They have the largest number of Holders, and global large clans are also based there. Naturally, major cities tend to beco famous as Holder cities as well.”
New York is called one of the two mountain ranges of Holder cities in Arica.
Along with Los Angeles, it’s the largest in scale, with many large clans and high-ranking Holders settled there.
Just as we have well-established Holder infrastructure in Seoul, our capital and largest city, Arica also had a structure where Holders inevitably gathered in famous and large cities.
“Wow… There are really a lot of people.”
Perhaps because of this, an enormous crowd of Holders was waiting at the [Warp Gate] where we arrived.
New York’s Warp Gate is located in Queens, which you have to cross the river to reach from Manhattan, the central area, and this is also where JFK Airport (New York’s main airport) is located.
‘It’s similar to Incheon.’
Just as Korea’s international Warp Gate is located at Incheon International Airport, Arica also has international Warp Gates located within each region’s airports.
However, if there’s a difference.
JFK Airport, which was sowhat smaller compared to ga-airports like ATL or LAX, has grown much larger as it beca a hub for international Holders.
“Did the airport get bigger because it’s the central city for Holders?”
“Yes. All Holders trying to co to New York pass through this airport.”
The central cities for Arican Holders, LA and New York.
Holders traveling internationally naturally favor the Warp Gates of these two cities.
In other words, most Holders coming and going to Arica use one of these two.
Because of this, the floating population inside JFK Airport was at an enormous level, and as a result, the surrounding anities and auxiliary buildings were also quite spectacularly constructed.
“Wow- I’m so excited, Jae-hyun!”
The hot breath befitting the city’s reputation.
Kim Chae-eun seed to like their welcoming greetings, pulling on my arm with a bright smile.
“I know. It really feels like we’re on a trip, right?”
“Yes, yes! Where’s our hotel? Is it near here?”
“No, the hotel is in Manhattan. We could go straight to the dostic travel Warp Gate over there, but…”
I turned my gaze slightly towards that gate, then trailed off as I looked at Kim Chae-eun.
She was staring at with sparkling eyes.
It was as if she was shouting, ‘I want to stay here longer…!’
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at that.
“Shall we look around Queens a bit before we go?”
“Yes!”
As expected, what Kim Chae-eun wanted was a diverse trip.
I also felt like going straight to the Manhattan hotel to unpack and rest, but since we’ve co all the way to Arica, it was good to move around as we pleased and travel.
Fortunately, since we didn’t take a plane, we had enough energy.
We prepared to leave the airport right away after putting our suitcases and luggage into the magic bag.
“…Huh?”
A familiar face encountered in an unfamiliar place.
That is, until I saw Park Jin-woo.
“Why are you here?”
“……”
Park Jin-woo was looking at us with a sour face.
He sighed while scratching his head, then slowly approached us.
“Hey, Do Jae-hyun.”
“Huh?”
Park Jin-woo’s cold voice, which I had never heard before, ca out.
The unexpected turn of events and the unfamiliar tone.
That combination made feel nervous for so reason.
And Park Jin-woo continued speaking.
“Keep your promise.”
“Promise?”
“Yeah.”
“…What promise?”
“Special coaching! You said you’d give special coaching when you make a clan!! But this damn bastard kept putting it off for a long ti, and before the coaching even started, he’s coming to play with his girlfriend using work as an excuse?! Hey, you bastard. Save first…!!”
Park Jin-woo’s angry shout strongly hit my ears and surroundings.
With such force that it seed he might grab my collar at any mont.
I was surprised for a mont at that absurd situation…
Then I hit my head as a thought suddenly occurred to .
‘This bastard, he still hasn’t confessed.’
Park Jin-woo, who was obsessed with training and growth, had built a wall against dating all this ti.
The love front between him and Camilla…
It seems to be still at a standstill.

“So… Camilla said she was taking a vacation and coming to Arica for a while, so you followed her without thinking, but you haven’t even told her you’re in Arica yet?”
“Oh- Exactly…”
Park Jin-woo answered with a slightly deflated face.
A very rare sight for those who knew him normally.
But I didn’t feel any sympathy for such an appearance.
‘No, you could just contact her.’
I ca to Arica too, let’s et once.
I just contacted you because I was curious….
Why is he hesitating over sothing so simple?
Sheesh, idiot….
I barely held back those words that were coming up to my throat.
It’s the kind of cursing exclamation I would have said without hesitation normally, but it was better to spare it for Park Jin-woo who had lost his confidence like this.
“Haa… I even took 5 days of vacation….”
My eyebrows twitched at Park Jin-woo’s lantation.
“What vacation? Don’t tell it’s Evil Hunter?”
“Where else would I take a vacation besides the clan? The academy is on break.”
“Why didn’t you say anything to the master when you took ti off?”
“Oh- You must have been too distracted by your date to hear. After the ergency gathering ended, I just needed approval from HR.”
“…That’s true.”
For Park Jinwoo, this is unnecessarily logical.
Why does this guy beco an idiot in front of Camila when he can speak so well?
Feeling awkward, I scratched my head.
“Heh- So Jin-woo liked Camila…”
And Kim Chae-eun next to , admiring with a strange expression.
Co to think of it, no one but knew that Park Jin-woo liked Camila.
I thought he had been showing it quite obviously, but surprisingly no clan mbers or friends had noticed.
“Kim Chae-eun, don’t tell anyone else. It’s absolutely a secret.”
Park Jin-woo earnestly pleads with her.
Seeing that, I lightly chided him.
“Hey, is Chae-eun the type to go around blabbing? Don’t worry.”
“…Like girlfriend, like boyfriend.”
“If you’re jealous, why don’t you date soone too?”
“You really want to die? Should I calculate all the special coaching I was supposed to do but forgot? Think about how you’re going to coach right now.”
“I’m sorry. I’m desperately thinking about it now.”
I bowed my head in apology right after talking back once.
Park Jin-woo who has awakened to love is scary.
“But you know.”
Kim Chae-eun, who had been laughing at our banter, suddenly spoke as if she’d thought of sothing.
“Wasn’t Camila from California Academy? That’s the one our academy had exchanges with. So why is Jin-woo in New York?”
“Ah, that…”
‘California Holder Academy’ located on the outskirts of LA.
Along with New York Holder Academy, it’s the most famous and excellent academy in the United States.
Camila Flores was a Holder who ca over as an exchange student from there, and naturally, if she ca to the US on vacation, she should have been in LA.
“Camila’s parents moved, to New York. With all the administrative procedures done, there was no need to go to the academy, and since Camila also ca to the US on vacation, she ca to New York.”
In other words, Camila is in New York right now.
Seeing Park Jin-woo explain this fluently, I asked.
“You said you couldn’t contact her once since coming to Arica, but you seem surprisingly well-inford?”
“I heard it when I was in Korea.”
“How did you hear about it in Korea?”
“…During the Deserter’s Room attack. After the clan eting ended.”
“What would you have done if I hadn’t created the clan?”
“Please just shut up.”
I quietly closed my mouth, feeling like he might draw a sword if I said any more.
Indeed, Park Jin-woo who has awakened to love is scary.
“Then can’t you just et her? If you’re both in New York.”
Kim Chae-eun suddenly tilted her head and asked.
As expected of my girlfriend.
Her thoughts seem very similar to mine.
Park Jin-woo shuddered at the appearance of Do Jae-hyun mk2, but finding it hard to get angry even at Kim Chae-eun, he sighed and answered.
“If it were that easy, would I be like this…?”
If Park Jin-woo was that good at dating in the first place, it wouldn’t matter whether Camila was in New York or LA.
He could just contact her to et and go see her.
…For him, that was complex and difficult, which was the problem.
“Then should we et together?”
“Huh?”
At this unexpected suggestion, my and Park Jin-woo’s gazes turned simultaneously.
Kim Chae-eun spread her fingers as if asking what the problem was and said.
“If it’s hard to et alone, we can see her together. Camila and Jin-woo, and Jaehyun. We’ve done a lot of activities together so it won’t be awkward.”
Kim Chae-eun smiled brightly as she ca up with a clear solution.
“How about a New York double date?”

We made a decision right away at Kim Chae-eun’s suggestion.
To send a text ssage to Camila.
At first, we told Park Jin-woo to call her directly, but when he said he absolutely couldn’t do that, we agreed on a text ssage.
Fortunately, Chae-eun and I also have ti.
Hendricks’ official invitation was tomorrow, so we still had so free ti.
However.
“Kim Chae-eun, are you really okay with this?”
Park Jin-woo keeps asking, feeling unnecessarily sorry.
After all, for Chae-eun, this was a date with that she was enjoying after a long ti, and it was supposed to be just the two of us.
He seed to have mixed feelings, thinking he was taking this away because of his own issues.
Such a considerate guy, yet he can’t handle his own love life.
“Yes. We ca on a long trip anyway so we have plenty of ti, and I’ve always wanted to try a double date soti.”
After saying that, Kim Chae-eun briefly turned her gaze to .
As if asking if I was okay with it even though she was.
I nodded with a smile in response.
“I’m fine too. I was supposed to give Jin-woo special coaching anyway. This ti I should teach him properly through a double date.”
Hearing those words, Park Jin-woo frowned and chided .
“Hey. Is that how you coach? It’s Kim Chae-eun who’s doing it.”
“In a way, I’m the manager. Chae-eun is the coach I brought. Bringing a good coach is also part of a manager’s skill.”
“Oh, you’re impossible.”
He surrendered at my annoying response.
And it’s not wrong either.
Actually, I’m the one who brought Chae-eun to Arica, and I helped write the text to Camila in collaboration with her.
“Does Camila know you ca to New York?”
“Yeah, I ntioned it once before.”
“Okay. Then we can send it like this.”
We send the text as naturally and gently as possible.
, Kim Chae-eun, Park Jin-woo, Camila.
A proposal for the four of us to et together.
Of course, we absolutely don’t use the term ‘double date’, just a ssage asking if she’d like to hang out together since friends happened to co to Arica due to their schedule.
And then.
“It’s here!”
Park Jin-woo shouts, clutching his phone.
[Camila Flores] Okay. Let’s go together. Master, Chae-eun. Sightseeing Arica. Will help.
A positive response ca from Camila.
