Chapter 107 – #16. King Woohak (7)
When I first became ‘Jin Hae-sol’.
I think I just complied because the environment around me made me promote as an idol.
How much would a man in his 30s who had been hit by work know about idols?
Because there are more things I don’t know than I know, I think I just did my best as I was told to adapt to the changed environment at the time.
‘I sweat a lot.’
Then, as time passed and I got used to the unfamiliar environment, and when I had more time to spare, I became greedy.
It was because of the idea that if I had the means of ‘money’ in my hands in an unfamiliar environment, I could live well anywhere.
‘Money is good.’
In addition, most of my life has been activities to earn ‘money’, so it was all the more so.
Because I put my youth into the company, and the price I received for that was ‘money’.
Of course, it seems that it was not easy to think outside of ‘money’ even in a new life.
‘It’s a world where the government provides subsidy, but how can I live with it for the rest of my life?’
I worked hard to adapt, and after that, I worked hard for money.
As a result, I made my debut on a whim, and gained quite a bit of popularity.
I saw a lot of face virtues, but the results came out as much as I tried.
The love of people who like me is unfamiliar and awkward, but I feel really good and I laugh out loud.
In addition, I started to have affection for the job of being an idol.
‘Everyone likes me, but who won’t be excited?’
And gradually, I started to change my mind about idol activities to earn money.
Rather than simply making money, I wanted to become an idol who didn’t disappoint the fans who loved me.
If I think about it now, I wonder if I would have fallen into burnout soon if I had treated idol jobs as a means to earn money.
Anyway, I was in the middle of building affection for idols as my mindset changed.
‘It’s not that he owns nothing, but I thought he was free from the influence of money, but it wasn’t.’
I became rich.
And I’m so glad that
A hum came out.
My hips sway and sway.
I know I have to put up with it for my dignity!
‘It’s like winning the lottery, but you’re putting up with this? I can’t stand it.’
Did I say I could never stand a sneeze?
Now I couldn’t contain my joy.
The old status window that was exchanged for the new one.
I had no choice but to deal with this person because it had the same shape as the original one, but to my surprise, it performed much better than the one I used.
“Shop”
It was voice-recognized, so I didn’t have to press it with my finger, and I could access the pages I frequently visited because they could be bookmarked.
I smiled and looked at the products in the store again.
‘How many pages did you read? Was it 1,088 pages?’
Cheer up-!
Go to page 1,088 and browse the store again.
There is also a search function, but I didn’t intend to use it.
It was because there were so many items with functions that I couldn’t imagine.
‘I just have to be ignorant and check everything.’
If the process of eye-shopping was not enjoyable, it would be difficult to do.
But I spent all day walking in and out of stores, thinking about what to buy.
Because the process was so happy for me.
And I didn’t hesitate to buy a few things that seemed essential.
[Luvia piercing (for women)]
– Can only be worn by women over 40 years of age. Slows the wearer’s aging rate. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll be younger. However, it cannot affect lifespan (health).
It was the first thing I bought because I had to buy a piercing that was on sale for 800 coins before the sale period ended.
If my mother-in-law said she didn’t like it, I could gift it to someone else, and it had performance that I wouldn’t regret.
‘Piercing alone is boring. What more should I present?’
I wanted to give my girls at least one gift.
And after thinking about it, I bought the perfume as a gift for my mother-in-law.
It is said that if you use an entire bottle of this perfume, your body odor will change to that of the perfume.
Even if you don’t have to wear perfume.
This is a feature that I also hate, so I bought a perfume for men.
‘Should I turn everything around to women?’
I’ve got a lot of money, but I can’t be petty.
Each person will have a scent they like, so I made a note to buy it after researching it.
And I started to think again about where to spend the remaining coins.
I bought 110,000 coins worth of recognition-degrading glasses and small items, so the coins I had were slightly reduced, but it’s still safe to go shopping.
‘There is nothing that stands out. Shall we go to test the performance of the glasses for cognitive impairment?’
I need to make an appointment with my mother-in-law.
Isn’t the timing pretty good?
I bought coins and bought glasses that reduced perception, just in time to plan a date with my mother-in-law.
[Me: I want to go on a date.]
The activities were almost over, and everyone was concentrating on individual activities, so the schedule was ample.
Usually, on my days off, I devote myself to acting practice, but it didn’t matter if I arbitrarily skipped practice for about a day.
It wasn’t long before the mother-in-law received a reply.
[Mother-in-law♡: My stomach is so full that I can’t go out. How about going on a date later?]
[Better… It’s impossible to take a day off because of my sister.]
[Mother-in-law♡: Huh? Uh… Maybe so? There are not many months left. It’s not that steady exercise is bad, but it’s too dangerous to go outside right now.]
The words continued, but I felt that they were subtly out of sync somewhere.
I read my mother-in-law’s message again and noticed the reason.
[Me: I’m asking my mother-in-law on a date.]
[Mother-in-law♡: To me? Not Jua?]
[Me: We’ve never been on a date before. I want to spend a good time with Jung-hwa.]
My mother-in-law’s name is Nam Jeong-hwa.
It was her name that had long been forgotten by the word her mother, and she thought it would arouse strange feelings in her.
Let’s also change the name we saved for her snatch.
[Jeonghwa: Nonsense!]
[Me: Give me a day. You are my woman too.]
[Jeonghwa: What about Joo-ah?]
[Me: Is there really no way?]
I’m sorry for Joo-ah, but my mother-in-law, no, Jung-hwa is also my woman.
She was a woman who cared more and cared more because she hadn’t started out in a respectable relationship.
[Junghwa: It’s not that there’s no way at all…]
“You also want to be with me.”
[Me: Then give me a day, please.]
[Jeonghwa: Is it really okay? I think I’m doing something bad to Jua.]
If I really hated it, I would have flatly refused.
The only reason she doesn’t reveal her greed to me is because she feels sorry for Joo-a’s older sister.
It is true that she felt sorry for Joo-ah and her older sister, but she could not use that as an excuse to neglect Jeong-hwa.
[Me: I plan to apologize properly to Joo-noona later. Because of my relationship with Jeong-hwa, I won’t make Joo-ah noona sad. And the same goes for Jung-hwa. Because of Joo-ah, she won’t make Jeong-hwa feel bad.]
I sent a long message, and the reply came after a while.
[Jeonghwa: Thank you. I’ll take my time.]
It was a short and simple reply, but it was a text with many meanings in it.
♧♧♧
Wearing store-bought perception-degrading glasses, dressed casually.
The summer weather was gradually getting hotter, so it was not enough to cover my face, but I decided to trust my glasses and simply wore a hat.
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
She could tell that the glasses were doing their job, even though she had only just been out and walking down the street.
This world is a world where women stare at you just because you are a ‘man’.
But the whole time I was walking down the street, no woman was paying attention to me.
It’s been a long time since I came to this world and had such indifference.
‘It seems like it’s the first time in a while, isn’t it?’
I had no idea it would kill performance this far.
With these glasses, the date with Jung-hwa will go smoothly.
I took a seat at the appointed place and waited for Jeong-hwa.
I came out early, so I grabbed my cell phone and watched the reaction of our group’s fans.
According to my thoughts, it was clear that he would come before the appointment time was over.
With my daughter-♪
I didn’t wait long before the shop door opened and someone familiar came inside.
The woman who opened the door and came in was accompanied by the wind.
With a shiver, her long hair fluttered and stuck in my eyes.
‘It’s crazy. Why are you so pretty?’
It was always her house where she met Jeong-hwa, and she had never seen her properly decorated.
The clothes were also comfortable to wear at home, and she had no make-up.
Honestly, even if I were Jeonghwa, I don’t think I would have been able to decorate it at home.
I must have been afraid that I would be suspicious of Joo-a if I decorated it beautifully when I came because the thief was hurting my feet.
Jeong-hwa didn’t think I’d arrived first, or maybe it was because of the effects of my perception-degrading glasses.
‘Leave a woman like that and turned her eyes to another woman? Aren’t you crazy?’
No matter how much he didn’t give food to the fish he caught, I couldn’t understand the former father-in-law who left a woman like that as his wife.
‘No, should I say thank you?’
If her former father-in-law hadn’t neglected her, she would never have passed on to me.
To Joo-ah noona, Jung-hwa was her role model.
When we talked about her, she would often say that she always wanted to emulate her mother, that her mother was like that then, and she was like that.
To her children, ‘mom’ is bound to have a lot of influence, but to her older sister, her mother seemed more special than that.
‘That’s how I intervened. Her shoulders are heavy.’
You should try not to fall apart between the two.
I made up my mind once more, got up and sat across from Jeong-hwa’s table, taking off her glasses.
“Oh! Were you there first?”
“Yes. Hiding her face, so I guess you didn’t find it.”
“What would you like to drink?”
Jeong-hwa casually offered me something to drink and took out her wallet.
It was her gesture that she said she would pay for herself, of course.
“I will live.”
“To?”
I stopped her, got up from her seat, and ordered her a drink and a simple dessert.
When I woke up, I didn’t forget to put on her glasses.
The store clerk took my order calmly without being conscious of me at all.
‘Wow~ It’s really good.’
For celebrities, there is no better item than this.
“I asked for a date today, so please follow me.”
Maybe because she recognized it once, she put on her glasses again, but it didn’t happen that she didn’t recognize me.
“By the way, is it okay to go like this? Her face is not well covered… Other people will find out.”
“I haven’t become that famous yet. What a great person I am.”
Jeong-hwa said as if she was saying something frustrating.
“Aside from being famous, your face alone will draw enough attention. Didn’t people stare at you a lot when you came here?”
She usually feels like her face is going to be pierced by people’s stares.
But I had glasses, and I never felt a persistent gaze today.
That’s why I confidently told Mr. Jeong-hwa.
“No. I never did.”
“… Really?”
“Is it real? Go out and check it out later. I really don’t look at you.”
Jeong-hwa continued to have doubts, but she shrugged her shoulders and smiled, as she would be proven once she went outside.
This is what tempalism is all about, Jeong-hwa!
