Heroine App 171

Chapter 171 – Episode 171 – Her X Her X Her (20)

“Get home safe. It was fun today.”
“You too, Jinhyun. Get home safe.”

Jinhyun stopped the car right in front of Yewha’s house.

Yewha looked around to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, then unbuckled her seatbelt.

“You’ll be at the cafe tomorrow too, right?”

Jinhyun asked with a natural smile, and Yewha clapped her hands as if she’d just remembered something.

Ah, right.
Come to think of it.

“Jinhyun.”
“Yes?”
“You said you’d give me a coupon.”
“?”

Jinhyun tilted his head as if he didn’t know what she was talking about, and Yewha narrowed her eyes.

“I saved everything.”

Tap tap.
Yewha fiddled with her phone and showed him a screenshot of their previous conversation.

Looking at the phone, Jinhyun also seemed to remember.

“Ah~. That day you peeked at our affair, Yewha. You brought me my jacket.”
“……”
“What should I do? Hmm. Yewha, you-.”
“Ugh, stop it. I’d rather not get it.”

Yewha didn’t even listen to the end of Jinhyun’s sentence and turned her head away. Jinhyun seemed flustered.

“Why are you like that?”
“You’re going to say something weird again.”

Yewha thought back to their earlier conversation.

[Please, don’t tell Sujeong about us kissing.]

If Sujeong found out that she had kissed Jinhyun, Yewha wouldn’t be able to face her.

She was the one who had been telling Sujeong that Jinhyun was cheating, but now she was the one who kissed him?

She didn’t even want to imagine it.

[Hmm. What should I do?]
[A-are you going to tell her?]
[I’m a bit of a blabbermouth. If you give me another kiss, I won’t tell.]

Jinhyun had asked for a kiss in return.

Of course, Yewha had refused.

There was no way she would agree while sober. The kiss was… well, she had been momentarily overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

It had felt much better than she expected, but he was Sujeong’s boyfriend in the first place.

‘I let my guard down.’

Jinhyun’s tone had been playful from the start, and when she said she absolutely couldn’t, he had eventually agreed not to tell.

“It’s not weird. I’ll give it to you. But I don’t have any coupons made yet. And no gift cards either.”
“Ah.”
“So, next time you come to the cafe, tell me what menu you want, and I’ll tell the staff to make it for you.”
“Anything?”
“Yes, anything.”

Yewha nodded, then opened the door and got out.

“I’m going now…”
“Okay, see you tomorrow~.”

Yewha closed the door, watching Jinhyun’s smiling face, and then watched the car drive away for a moment.

“Haa…”

I must have been crazy.

Yewha went inside and collapsed on her bed without even washing up.

She had held hands with him on a ride, and then they had kissed.

Honestly, she thought she had done well just by apologizing, but she never imagined she would actually let him kiss her. She could see why he was a playboy.

“……”

Yewha ran her thumb over her lips. The scene replayed in her mind.

Yewha kicked the blanket and sighed deeply.

“Hoo, get a grip.”

This will never happen again.

From tomorrow, she would go back to her normal routine.

Yewha made that resolution and got out of bed.

“Still…”

It wouldn’t be so bad to get some fresh air like this once in a while.

Next time, she would definitely go with Sujeong.

Yewha headed to the bathroom.

******

“Hmm…”

I stroked my chin, looking at Yewha’s current status.

◆ Current Status
– [Favorability: 45]
– [Trust: 23]
– [Affinity: 35]
– [Lust: 21] [Appetite: 26] [Fatigue: 25]

Her favorability, which had been crawling on the floor, had increased quite a bit.

It seemed to be thanks to the diffuser, the acting with Sujeong, and holding hands at the amusement park.

However, her trust was still low.

I had managed to get a kiss, but lately, Yewha seemed to be avoiding me a little.

Thanks to that kiss, it was like she was trying to preemptively block the playboy’s advances…! It wasn’t an iron wall, but it felt like she was holding up a shield.

She came to the cafe every day, but when our eyes met, she would subtly look away.

It wasn’t like she was completely ignoring me like before, but something… something was off.

‘And Yewha’s capture style is…’

She was holding onto me tightly, so it didn’t seem like just favorability would be enough.

I was confident that I could reach 100 favorability if I just went crazy with the “jabakkom,” but I wanted to get a higher capture evaluation score.

So, it seemed like I needed an event that would make her trust me and rely on me, both externally and in terms of my abilities.

Something that would make Yewha rely on me on her own…

‘The kiss felt really good though.’

Yewha’s tongue had a different taste than Sujeong, Delia, or the Yujeong-Dajeong sisters. It was a bit bouncy, yet addictive… that kind of taste.

I was imagining what her lower lips would taste like when I heard a voice next to me.

“Oppa, you’re in pervert mode again.”
“What’s pervert mode?”
“The mode where you’re thinking about dirty things!”

Dajeong was looking at me with a sulky expression.

“Why? Are you sulking again?”
“Hmph, I’m not sulking~.”
“Oh, you. Come here.”
“Hehe.”

When I put Dajeong on my lap, she leaned into me happily.

“Oppa. Look at this. Ta-da~!”

Dajeong fiddled with her phone and showed me a screen.

My eyes widened.

“Huh? What is this? You…”
“Amazing, right? It was just announced. I’ve been preparing for a long time, so my scores are really good.”

Along with Dajeong’s beaming face, the phone screen showed some surprising results.

[11th Winter Comic Contest]
– Overall: 4th place
– Romance Category: 1st place

“Wow. That’s amazing?”
“Hehe. Well, it’s only the first week though?”

Even as she said that, Dajeong’s nose was pointing to the sky.

“Still, that’s incredible. How did you get first place among all those romance comics?”
“This one isn’t about what happened with you, Oppa. I just put in everything I wanted you to do.”
“Ooh…”

So, I just had to look at this comic filled with Dajeong’s imagination and do exactly that?

“But the male lead in this comic is two people. What, do you want to meet other guys?”
“You dummy. You didn’t read my contest comic, did you!”
“Not yet…?”
“The other male lead is our sister, but gender-swapped. Reverse harems are popular in romance.”

Oh.

“Oh… you’ve compromised with the times.”
“? What’s that?”
“It’s a thing.”

When I didn’t say anything else, Dajeong continued.

“Anyway, I’m going to add BGM next week, so it’ll get even more popular.”
“BGM? Did you commission it again?”
“Yeah, that sister is so nice. She gave me back all the money I paid her for the last one.”
“Wow, so she did it for free?”
“Yeah, isn’t she amazing?”

It seemed like Yewha really liked comics.

“Ah! By the way, I’m going to meet that sister. Do you want to come with me, Oppa? To show off. Hehe.”
“Meet her? In person?”
“Yep. She said she wanted to see me.”
“When are you meeting?”

Dajeong checked her messages and then told me.

“Um. Next week. We haven’t decided on a time or place yet.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, we were originally going to meet this weekend, but she said she had to go buy something? Anyway, she said she had something to do, so we postponed it to a weekday or next weekend.”
“Ah.”

I was already wondering how to meet Yewha privately again. I was thinking of getting help from Sujeong, but this time, she brought the bait to me.

‘Wait, then maybe?’

I went back to the heroine app and clicked on Yewha in the general heroine list.

There were a few events that hadn’t been there before under her current status.

‘Oh.’

So, they were generated like this too.

I hugged Dajeong, who was sitting on top of me, tightly.

“Hoo, Dajeong, you’re a lucky charm.”
“W-what’s with you all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know, you’re just too cute.”
“Just with words…?”

Dajeong wiggled her butt and sat facing me again.

“Then what do you want?”
“……You know. Mwah, mwah…♡”

I shared a deep kiss with Dajeong.
