Randell kept hitting his head against the steering wheel after Nida and Ranz left them.
He was feeling greatly embarrassed at what he had done to Nida. He even let her touch his crouch to heal it. Nida also misunderstood that Randell is seeing someone now.
“Wait? Why does it matter?” Randell exclaimed, after pausing for a moment.
He thought, why does it matter to him? What should Nida think now that she caught Randell seeing another girl?
Randell even noticed Nida’s bright smile when she saw Randell with the other girl. Randell thought that Nida’s heart would never open to him. It was always for Ranz.

“Hmm?” He was hitting his head again on the steering wheel, but Lady placed her hand on the steering wheel to catch Randell’s forehead so that he would stop hitting himself again.
“Sir, you just bled just a while ago.” The lady reminded him with concern. She doesn’t get why Randell suddenly acted this way, but she knows it’s about Nida.
“Did that pretty woman always harass you? Should we report her instead?” The lady asked as she misunderstood that Nida was harassing Randell after seeing Nida act mischievously and even touch Randell.
Lady’s impression of Randell was of a soft boy with a huge body. The Lady knew a lot of people with huge, bulky bodies being sexualized and harassed and thought Randell was the same.
“Don’t worry, sir, the police station has a desk now for sexual harassment for both men and women.” Lady shared this as she is aware that men usually don’t report if they are sexually harassed because it will only lead to more bullying and embarrassment.
Randell was stunned by Lady’s misinterpretation of Nida. He closed and opened his mouth before he could say his words. “She’s my housemate. She is not sexually harassing me!” Randell exclaimed, but Lady is still convinced that Nida is a devious woman who takes advantage of Randell.
“You don’t have to be afraid, sir. I can help you. Ahh! The university also has programs to protect men from sexual harassment! It was not only for women. You don’t have to be ashamed. Let’s punish them so they will stop!” Lady exclaimed, fully determined.
“No. Not at all. Not at all. She’s just playful, but she never sexually harassed me.” Randell has a hard time trying to explain things about Nida without mentioning her divine powers.
“What I saw was more than just being playful, sir.”
Their eyes met, but he broke it off. Randell couldn’t maintain eye contact with Lady because of how her stern gaze looked. He was worried about how he would explain it to Lady, so he asked her to meet Nida.
“It’s really a misunderstanding. If you want, let’s meet with her again so I can introduce her to you. She’s a nice girl. She is really just playful. ”
“Really?” The lady assumed Randell was a sheltered rich guy who had no idea what was going on in the real world and was unaware that he was being taken advantage of. “Then I’ll show you what she did was really wrong!”
There was a fire in Lady’s eyes the moment she said that, which made Randell anticipate more trouble tonight, but then again, he didn’t regret stepping up for her.
“Okay, so, but I tell you, she really is a good girl.” Randell repeated before he started the car.
He drove the car and took Lady with her, forgetting about Lady’s loan shark issue.
“Oh my! It’s turned blue now!” Lady noticed after they went inside Nida’s apartment. She hadn’t noticed it before because of the cloudy season, and it was already nearing 7 pm.
“It looks serious! We should really have your nose checked at the hospital!”
“I am fine, it doesn’t hurt at all!” Randell hid his nose with his hands.
“What do you mean it does not? It’s pretty obvious that you broke your nose!” The lady tiptoed to reach Randell’s face. She tried to remove Randell’s hand that was covering his nose, but Randell was too tall for her. She tripped and fell to Randell’s chest again.
“Are you okay?” Randell grabbed Lady’s shoulder and supported her to stand properly again.
“S-sorry! For being clumsy!”
Lady blushed as she felt embarrassed at her clumsiness, and at the same time, she noticed Randell’s expression that seemed unaffected that Lady landed on his chest again.
“Is this how you got sexually harassed without knowing?” Lady blurted out, as she realized that Randell’s expression was not normal. He doesn’t feel shy and embarrassed even though Lady is touching him and keeps landing on his chest. Even if it was unintentional, Randell should show some sort of reaction and not just be okay with it.
Gasp!
Lady gasped after she realized something again while she was keeping her mind busy thinking about how Randell was being harassed without him noticing.
“Don’t tell me he was harassed for a long time and now doesn’t feel anything at all!” Lady pondered internally, and her concern for Randell grew. She then thought maybe she could help by letting him know.
“Lady? Miss Lady? Hello?” Randell waved his hand in front of Lady’s face, but she went into deep thought that she’d not notice Randell.
“Ah! What?” she finally came back to reality.
“Are you sick, lady? You can rest in the living room while we wait for Nida to come home. Then I’ll be cooking dinner as well.” Randell said as he took off his coat and neck tie. Wearing his white polo shirt, he was about to wear his apron when the lady pulled the apron away.
“What’s wrong, Miss Lady?” Randell asked while he looked at the apron that Lady had taken and thrown on the floor.
“That woman was sexually harassing you. You really need to be aware!” Lady exclaimed
“No, she’s not. That’s why you are here to know that she’s not.” Randell frowned as he didn’t know why they were repeating the same conversation that ended just a while ago.
But Lady kept on insisting, “You are not aware! I am telling you!”
“She’s not!”
“Do you even know what sexual harassment is?” The Lady inquired in a high-pitched voice, and Randell responded in a louder tone. “Of course I know. It’s inappropriate physical advances.”
Randell and Lady are now shouting at each other, as if screaming their ideas will make the other understand more.
“Then does she hold your hand like this?” The Lady asked and held Randell’s hand. She thought by showing an example, it would make Randell better understand.
“Yes.”
“How about if she touched your face?” (Touches Randell’s face)
“Yes.”
“Your hair?” (Touches Randell’s long, silky hair)
“Yes.”
“Does she act like she’s smelling or sniffing you?” (Sniffed Randell’s neck)
“Yes.”
“Does she hug you too without warning?” (Hugged Randell’s arms)
“Yes.”
The Lady’s question is accompanied with an action example, to which Randell replied with a yes, because in reality, Nida has already touched everything on him, including his wolf ears and tail. Randell couldn’t even tell about the divine powers. That is why he didn’t bother giving an explanation and just said yes.
“Does she slap your butt?”
“Yes, jokingly.”
The lady didn’t slap Randell’s, but she looked at Randell with infuriation.
“Jokingly? She’s literally harassing you! I’ll be more shocked if you still deny she’s not advancing toward you if she ever even watches you naked!”
Lady doesn’t mean the last part, but her jaw dropped when Randell nodded to her.
“S-she watched you naked? Then did the two of you have some sex already?”
“Yes, but it was my brother she wanted. She doesn’t like me.” Randell sobbed uncontrollably, not realizing that Lady would be misunderstood even more.
Randell has been touched by Nida because it’s part of healing injuries.
Nida also watched and saw Randell because werewolves are basically naked in their berserk form.
And yes, they had sex, but Randell is now sure that it was not him that Nida was thinking about. It was Ranz.
He was about to go emotional again, but he held himself after seeing Lady dialing 911.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing?” Randell snatched Lady’s phone and cancelled the call.
“I am going to report her! You should escape this house! You are being taken advantage of!” Lady yelled angrily. She also saw Ranz when she was in Randell’s car and noticed how they looked identical. She never thought that Randell’s brother was just letting her girlfriend (Nida) harass Randell. Even though she doesn’t talk to them directly, it’s pretty obvious that Nida and Ranz are lovers. The Lady also feels odd about why Randell is staying with the lovers and ends up with another bizarre conclusion: Nida and Ranz are using Randell as their toy.
Her mind became very imaginative as she worried more about Randell.
“No! She’s not! It’s not what you think!”
“That bitch needs to be punished by the law!”

“Whom are you calling, bitch?” Randell shouted back, but soon regretted what he had done. “Ah! I am sorry!”
Randell ended up slapping Lady with her phone.
