Fortunately, I didn’t need to walk around showing my swimsuit to everyone.
Although the swimsuit was partially see-through, I had a cover-up for outside the water.
And inside the water, I wore a life jacket, so aside from my thighs, it wasn’t as revealing as I had feared.
I only walked around in the swimsuit when we were taking group photos, though we took quite a few individual ones as well.
In the pool itself, I enjoyed myself without worry.
Fortunately, aside from my left leg, my body’s motor skills were fairly good.
If needed, I could rely on the life jacket, and my right foot occasionally touched the bottom.
Oddly, moving around on one foot was enough to keep up with others.
The fact that my body was working properly in this reality held special meaning for me.
I was so excited that I played around like a child with all my might.
I seemed to have swam around until I reached my limits from exhaustion.
Though, my stamina wasn’t what it used to be.
Was getting too excited the root of the problem?
‘Who’s there? It tickles…’
I felt strange sensations all over my body.
Close to my ear, I heard somewhat hurried breathing, and someone tapped around my shoulder and neck area.
Then, I felt them lightly press against my back, adding some weight.
Something slightly sharp touched my skin.
Thankfully, no damage was done, but scratching could’ve caused a wound.
Ah, just don’t touch the ears.
The sensation of a tongue made it impossible not to wake up.
Whoever it was, the prank was a bit over the top…
– Kueng kueng!
It wasn’t a person.
Any discomfort or unease vanished.
Opening my eyes, I saw a happy-looking bundle of white fur.
The culprit of the excessive skin contact turned out to be a small dog with a red scarf around its neck—Hisom, who Ryeo-hee had brought along.
Thinking about it, none of today’s group would’ve done anything inappropriate.
I wondered how the dog had gotten into the room, only to remember I had left the door open.
It appeared I had collapsed right after swimming too hard.
“Good timing. I was wanting to pet you too. Come here.”
Normally, Hisom was a dog that followed people well.
Without any signs of being wary and with what seemed to be a friendly disposition, he was very affectionate.
Even though he didn’t know me, he craved attention quickly, wriggling his body.
It was quite surprising.
Even though it was a dog, I could see its expressions.
Seeing the happy face made me happy too.
For how long had I played with him?
Just as I laid down, still not fully recovered from fatigue, Hisom burrowed into my clothes.
“Ah, it’s ticklish.”
He was heading toward my chest.
It was a tight-fitting part of my tracksuit.
If I let him continue, he might suffocate.
I unzipped my tracksuit, and through my breasts, a fluffy white bundle emerged.
Seeing his innocent expression as he looked around curiously gave me the urge to tease him a little.
I lightly encircled my chest with both arms, holding Hisom’s body.
Raising myself, as my view got higher, Hisom quieted down.
That’s when Ryeo-hee saw me.
“Big sister, have you seen our Hisom… wow, that works.”
“I’ve been playing with him since he came over. I didn’t know you were looking for him.”
“No, I was also taking a short nap. He didn’t bite or anything, right?”
“He didn’t do anything like that. He was very gentle.”
I gently pet the little one nestled against my chest.
Ryeo-hee seemed to like the sight.
Her big, bright eyes sparkled.
“Can I take a photo of you like this?”
“Only if you send me a copy.”
“Of course. I’ll send it right away.”
Soon, the click of Ryeo-hee’s phone resounded.
Feeling a bit bored while standing still, I bit the ear that dangled before me.
Didn’t you want to touch my ear earlier?
Then it’s fine if I do the same, right?
The sensation on the tip of my lips was just as expected.

[Title: Feeling Like a Woman]
Even if it’s just words, I wouldn’t believe it without the picture.
It’s something I could never dream of…
Really, I feel like I’ve grown as a woman…
Or rather, as a living being, and I’m feeling quite blue.
I only realized today that jealousy must feel somewhat real.

Today’s final schedule was a barbecue party outdoors.
The red glow from the grill chased away the creeping darkness.
The moment the well-heated grill met the meat, it sizzled.
For anyone who loves meat, it was a sound that made saliva flow naturally.
Soobin saw me and made a sound with his tongs for no reason.
“You’re awake? You looked so tired earlier.”
“Yeah. I’m fine now.”
“You recover well. I’m still tired.”
That’s because you don’t manage your body properly… Actually, your image doesn’t match, but your arm muscles are quite built.
I don’t gain muscles easily, so this is an unfavorable topic for me.
Timely, Soobin changed the subject.
“Tonight, the resort is hosting some event. Are you going?”
“They’re having performances. Yeonhee and Serin are going too.”
Sansa chimed in, clearly looking forward to it.
I vaguely recall hearing this before coming.
Elderlyn mentioned something about a singer coming, but I didn’t have much interest.
Sorry, Sansa, but places with lots of people are not my scene.
I, who am a former hikikomori, hate crowded and noisy places.
During my… Ah, now that I think about it, I’m a player.
Even in my kendo player days, I didn’t like crowded places.
Besides, I don’t know much about music.
I have no idea who the singer coming today is either.
“I don’t want to. It’ll be too tiring for me. Are you going, Soobin?”
“No, I just want to have a drink here.”
“Alcohol? That sounds fine. Let’s drink together.”
I don’t feel like wandering around anywhere more.
Otherwise, I’m sure I’ll get a body ache tomorrow.
I know my body’s limits best.
To be honest, I’m in a precarious state even now.
I don’t want to overexert myself as I used to when I was playing games alone.
Anyway, I must’ve been hungry.
Or maybe it’s because it’s something eaten on occasions like this, but everything I put in my mouth tasted delicious.
“So last time, I…”
“Hey, can you pass the cola?”
“Sister Da-eun, really considering doing ASMR with me?”
“Not yet.”
I occasionally jumped into the chatter or sometimes initiated the conversation.
When there were no interesting topics, glancing at my phone worked. Recently, intriguing stories keep popping up at any given moment.

This league is quite unusual.
When the Spring season ended, it’s not unusual for new recruitments or trades to happen.
But this time, ahead of the Summer league, the changes are more significant than usual.
The reason is obvious.
Traveler’s transfer and PreLude’s abysmal performance.
Even Sigma wasn’t spared much, though. It wasn’t long ago when fans’ anger boiled up.
Not to boast, but… These winds of change happening now must have something to do with my recruitment too. If the current power structure stays, the IKL Summer league would end with Sigma’s overwhelming victory.
The two teams vying for the empty spot left by Q Prime seem particularly fierce.
ACL and Galaxy Gaming’s competition, especially.
Sansa leaned toward me slightly.
“Da-eun, are you going straight back after the vacation?”
“Not immediately, but in a few days.”
“I’m rooting for you. It’s disappointing to see your broadcast time reduced, though.”
“I’ll try to stream as much as possible.”
Later that night, I drank with Soobin as promised.
We had a lot of appetizers, and the drinks were tasty.
The only downside? I couldn’t get drunk freely.
As soon as my face turned beet red, Soobin ended the drinking session, saying he couldn’t handle me when I’m drunk.
I slightly understood what he meant and drifted off to sleep right away.
A few days later.
The Sigma dorm was filled with returning players.
Simultaneously, a hellish training session began till the opening match.

I really feel like I’m going to die.
Never have I felt so disheartened about my skills.
Please, give me some compliments, attention, and love.
