Before the Real Vacation

Hmm... I found two hotels with large swimming pools... One is run by Gangho Group, so that probably won't work, and the other only has one room left, so only Jia and Jiyeon can go. I should at least contact them first.

"Hello? Ms. Jiyeon?"

[Yes. Have you already found one?]

[We wouldn't be going just the two of us, and Gangho Group... would be awkward.]

"I'll keep looking for other places, so please ask Jia what she thinks too."

[Then I'll contact you again later~]

After the call ended, I returned to looking at my computer and searched for a place where we could properly relax for two nights and three days. Jia's summer vacation was long, and Jiyeon had said she could take up to a week off, so rather than swim and go home the next day, it seemed better to really rest while we had the chance.

Perhaps because Jiyeon worked at a fairly large hospital, she was usually busy during work hours. She was taking care of her health by such a narrow margin that even a little more work would guarantee she'd overwork herself. What an ironic profession—caring for other people's health while being unable to care for her own.
