Chapter 13 – Episode 13
I returned to the dormitory. She changed into casual clothes. I lay down on the mattress.
I picked up her cell phone.
There was a call from Choi Ayoung.
[Ayoung Choi: I arrived home.]
[Ayoung Choi: Today was really fun.]
[Ayoung Choi: I was healed thanks to her brother.]
[Ayoung Choi: Thank you. 〉〈]
[Ayoung Choi: Let’s play again next time.]
[Ayoung Choi: Because my brother bought it for me today]
[Ayoung Choi: Next time, Ayoung will live]
[Ayoung Choi: Because I ate what Ayoung likes today.]
[Ayoung Choi: Next time, I’ll eat what my brother likes.]
[Ayoung Choi: What does your brother like?]
It made me smile.
‘Why are you so cute?’
Choi Ayoung was lively. She had a gift for making people excited.
She doesn’t know how beautifully she speaks.
‘It’s really lovely.’
Lee Ji-sung once said, ‘I wish I had a daughter like Ayoung,’ and I sympathized with his words.
[Me: Ahyoung, I had a lot of fun today too. Thank you.^^]
[Me: Yes, yes. Next time, let’s meet again and play.]
[Me: Let’s eat tteokbokki next time. It was spicy but delicious.]
[Me: I like fish cake. Let’s order tteokbokki and fish cake.]
I sent a reply. There was no reply from her whether she was taking a shower or not.
The reply came 30 minutes later.
[Ayoung Choi: I took a shower 〉〈]
[Ayoung Choi: It’s refreshing!]
[Ayoung Choi: Huh? I said something was missing]
[Ayoung Choi: I didn’t order fish cake stew.]
[Ayoung Choi: ㅠ I couldn’t eat the fish cake stew]
[Ayoung Choi: Good. With fish cake soup]
[Ayoung Choi: Eat it like tteokbokki.]
After was successful. We decided to meet again next Sunday for lunch.
[Ayoung Choi: Oppa, tell me honestly.]
[Ayoung Choi: How many times have you dated women?]
[Me: Number 0]
[Ayoung Choi: Are you really a mother-in-law?]
[Me: ㅠㅠ Yes]
[Ayoung Choi: ㅠㅠ]
[Ayoung Choi: ㅜㅜ Actually, me too.]
[Me: Why are you a motherfucker? I think it will be very popular?]
[Ayoung Choi: It’s a secret. I’ll tell you when we get closer.]
I guess there’s something to it. I didn’t think it was worth asking, so I just passed on smoothly.
The conversation got longer.
‘Honestly, I want to date Ayoung.’
Choi A-young was an attractive woman.
‘But it would be better to refrain from confessing for the time being.’
She felt burdened by her love life.
If she confessed hastily, she could end up in a worse relationship than her husband.
‘Let’s focus on becoming friends for the time being. Let’s start by building likability.’
As you build up likability, affection will naturally develop.
It is not too late to confess after the fruits have ripened.
[Lee Ji-seong: Have you met?]
[Me: Yes, we met.]
[Lee Ji-seong: How was it?]
[Me: It was fun.]
[Me: We decided to meet again next week.]
[Lee Ji-seong: Wow, congratulations.]
[Me: Thank you.]
[Me: Just like you said, Ayoung is a really nice girl.]
[Me: The talent is also amazing.]
[Lee Ji-seong: Huh? Talent?]
[Me: Pretty talent, cute talent, fresh talent. Haha,]
[Lee Ji-seong: I’m hooked haha]
[Me: Thank you, brother. I’ll repay you later if everything goes well.]
[Lee Ji-seong: Are you coming? Is this something you can expect from pork belly?]
[Me: Hey, what is pork belly? I will repay you with beef.]
Ji-seong Lee felt a great sense of gratitude, whether he knew it or not.
Even though it was difficult to buy pork belly.
I think it would be difficult to express my gratitude with just pork belly.
‘Brother, if I make a lot of money, I will repay you properly.’
I put down my phone.
‘I’m sleepy. I need to get some sleep and then go to the gym.’
Why?
Why do I think of Park Ha-yeon when I close my eyes?
‘I miss you.’
∴∴∴
After finishing her aerobic exercise, Ha-yeon Park did some light strength training.
‘I don’t like having a muscular body.’
She thought that a rugged body suited only men, but not her.
Ha-yeon Park always preferred a smooth and lean body, so she did moderate strength training.
‘It’s a burden.’
The men’s dark gaze followed her throughout her exercise.
Ha-yeon Park felt uncomfortable and burdened by the gaze and attention of others.
‘It’s too blatant and persistent. I hope you look at it appropriately.’
She finished exercising. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and her neck with a dry towel. She took a sip of water.
I’m heading to the shower room.
“Over there.”
Her man approached. A warm face. Muscular body. She was tall, had broad shoulders, and her skin was smooth.
“Could you please give me your phone number? “It’s so much my style.”
It happened every day. Whenever possible, her men asked for her number.
“Sorry. I have a boyfriend. “I have to go take a shower.”
She flatly refused. It’s a lie. In fact, she didn’t have a boyfriend.
“Is it so? “Then how about we just be friends?”
“Sorry. “It’s because I’m a more shy person than I look.”
“Don’t do that…” …”
Her man tried to grab Park Ha-yeon’s arm.
But she couldn’t hold on.
Shocking.
The man stopped his actions. I took a step back without even realizing it.
It was because of Park Man-bok, who suddenly appeared behind Park Ha-yeon.
“Hmm.”
Park Man-bok cleared his throat.
Unlike his gentle expression, his eyes were so ferocious that you wouldn’t be surprised if they changed people.
While her man was frozen, Ha-yeon Park quickly escaped to the shower room.
‘After all, there is only my father.’
Park Ha-yeon’s ideal type was a caring and dependable man like her father.
When she got into a relationship later, she wanted to meet a man like her father.
I took a shower and came out.
‘I can’t see any pigs today.’
On Sundays, I came out in the evening and worked out.
Even though it was well past dinner time, there was not even a snout to be seen.
‘What happened?’
I was worried when I couldn’t see my sincerity, which is synonymous with sincerity.
Did you get into an accident? Or maybe it hurts somewhere?
‘Hmm? ‘Who is it?’
It was a car I was worried about.
Park Man-bok was seen talking to a man with impressive split eyebrows. It was a man I had never seen before.
I got closer.
“Hey, Hayeon, it’s been a while. Do you recognize me? This is Uncle Dongwook. “Did you give me a lot of pocket money when I was young?”
It was a stranger.
I don’t remember it at all.
According to Park Man-bok’s explanation, he was a military colleague.
It seems they often interacted with her when she was young.
‘However…’
I glanced at Kim Dong-wook.
Even though my eyes were torn.
The impression itself was good and kind.
‘Why am I so reluctant?’
But why?
Why does Kim Dong-wook, dressed in a neat suit, remind me of the violent criminal Cho Jin-wook?
‘Why is it so ominous?’
I bit my lip tightly.
∴∴∴
[Stamina: +9.8]
I have taken Stamina Palpal 98 times.
‘If you take just 2 more doses, it will be 100 times.’
The first goal is at hand.
Jinseong’s primary goal was to take Stamina Palpal 100 times.
50% of the physical strength of an ordinary male is received as compensation.
‘Achieving the first goal today.’
Achievement 36 has been created.
[One. Run for more than an hour.]
[2. Jump rope more than 1000 times.]
[3. Squat 400 times.]
[4. 50 burpees.]
The conditions are strict.
‘Let’s start with running.’
First I ran. Next, I did jump rope, squats, and burpees in that order.
“Heh! Hehe!”
My legs felt shaky while doing squats.
“Ugh! A Billion!”
I experienced hell doing burpees.
[You have achieved achievement 36.]
[You have earned 40 points.]
I went straight to the bathroom. I sat on the restroom and opened the store window. I purchased 2 health points.
Taken with water.
[Stamina: +10.0]
I finally did it.
Achieved 100 doses of stamina.
‘Yes!’
It was good.
‘Nice!’
I clenched my fists.
‘Wow, I felt so accomplished.’
The world smiled happily.
‘Jinseong, you did really well. Jinseong, you’ve had a hard time. You finally achieved your first goal.’
A deep aftertaste. A heavy heart. Happy. Honestly, I was happier than when I received shoes as a gift from Park Ha-yeon.
“Whoa.”
5 minutes have passed.
The excitement was still there, but it had calmed down quite a bit.
‘Let’s set a secondary goal. My secondary goal is…’
The primary goal was physical strength.
The problem of chronic lack of physical strength was solved to some extent.
‘The secondary goal is wind. I want to fill the wind.’
Wind.
Some people want their hair to be thicker because they don’t have enough hair.
Some people are short and wish to become tall.
Another person has a small penis and hopes to become a big hit.
Jinseong was planning to fulfill her wish as her secondary goal.
His wish…
[Good-looking Potion – 10 points]
He was handsome.
[You have purchased a good-looking potion.]
[You have purchased a good-looking potion.]
I bought two. I drank it down without delay.
[Appearance: 0.2/100]
Appearance has been added to the status window.
‘My secondary goal is to get my appearance to 30.’
What if you take your appearance to 30?
Wherever you go, at least you won’t be called ugly.
I hear people say, ‘Sir, you’re not good-looking, but you’re likeable.’
‘Honestly, I don’t even want to be called handsome. I just wish people would stop hearing people call me ugly.’
Jinseong’s appearance was in the lower tier.
Since he was born, he had been told many times that he was ugly, but had never been told that he was handsome.
Even my mother never said ‘our handsome son’, even if it was just an empty phrase. Just say ‘our good son.’
She has always known that if her mother says she is good-looking, she is hideous.
‘Let’s go out.’
I left the bathroom. I finished the exercise I couldn’t complete.
I took a shower and came out. It’s indescribably refreshing.
‘Huh, it feels good. For the first time in a while, I’m craving a glass of draft beer.’
When you’re in a good mood, a glass of draft beer is paradise itself.
‘Hmm?’
In an instant.
Jinseong’s steps as he was about to leave the gym stopped.
“… ?”
Soon.
The pupils shook violently. The pretty eyebrows naturally furrowed.
“…”
A man with impressive slit eyes. Kim Dong-wook, Park Man-bok’s military classmate.
Jinseong’s gaze was fixed on Kim Dongwook, and he had no intention of leaving.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
It was Park Ha-yeon. She asked curiously.
“Who is that person?”
“… ?”
“Who is the man with the slit eyes?”
Right before Park Ha-yeon could answer.
Jinseong muttered very softly.
“Why is Boss Park with a fraudster…?” …”
