Chapter 38 – 038 Academy Summer Vacation (9)
***
“Isn’t the food here delicious?”
When she turned her head, Lee Da-eun, smiling warmly, was standing next to her.
“Yes, try these foods for the first time.”
“Oh really? The price is cheap, but the food tastes good. Do you like seafood?”
Is this much affordable for Lee Da-eun, she honestly might have been angry if it was like the old days, but since she can afford it to a certain extent, she could accept it.
When she was really poor, she ate maize porridge with hind legs and fat from a butcher’s shop in cornmeal. It’s a nutritious food that’s full of tandanji, and it’s not a bad food.
‘At that time, the butcher gave me a lot of fat. How are you doing now?’
Now the hind legs are higher than before, but back then it was really cheap.
Then, if you get tired of corn porridge, you can buy cream soup powder or eat instant seaweed soup. The cost performance is not bad.
When I needed vegetables, I bought bean sprouts or cabbage. These are vegetables that can be eaten cheaply.
‘And fill in the missing nutrients with a multivitamin’
If you buy Schotrum Adult Multivitamin overseas, you can eat it cheaper than buying it in Korea.
If you eat like this and take a multivitamin, there is no big problem in living.
‘I don’t want to go back’
It was a very difficult time.
Just add water and boil it, so it’s complete, so I sometimes eat it when it’s annoying, but it helps a lot to find the original intention.
I still remember how surprised they were when they heard my story the other day when Yoon Seo-ah and Kang Min-ji came to her house to play.
I was going to serve it, but they ordered it on their own.
‘A lot has changed since I entered the academy…’
When I entered the academy, they lent me a house and gave me Aka Coins. You can buy most things with Aka Coins.
I didn’t get a lot of Aka Coins because my grades were low, but at least I paid enough to eat and surplus.
‘I didn’t have the luxury of buying a protective shield’
Considering the days when I was worried that even when I bought a triangular gimbap at a convenience store, this money was enough for a meal, I could say it was a huge improvement.
‘Instead, tuition is ridiculously expensive’
I came in as a low-income type and received full support, but it would be difficult for ordinary people to attend the academy.
‘Is that why everyone around me has a lot of money?’
As I was reminiscing, I heard a voice calling from next to me.
“Hey, Siwoo? Is it because you said honorifics? That’s… I’m not used to it yet.”
“I’m sorry, I’m thinking of something else”
“That…Really? Do you like seafood?”
“Eat everything well, except for strange food”
When she answered in a serious voice, Lee Da-eun chuckled and laughed.
“Siwoo doesn’t have an unbalanced diet… I’m a bit picky, but hehe”
Looking at Lee Da-eun’s smiling face made her feel like her heart was being purified.
I couldn’t tell the exact size of her breasts because she was wearing a bit of loose clothing, but they seemed to be quite large.
Does it make me feel this warm because I have such big breasts?
‘It might be bigger than Minji.’
I wanted to check it out by touching it myself, but if I did now, her likability would drop to the bottom.
“The seafood over there is delicious!”
“Huh? Where?”
Lee Da-eun grabbed my collar and pulled me to the seafood section. As I followed Lee Da-eun, I saw luxurious-looking seafood on top of the ice.
From lobster, ocelot, trimmed shrimp, etc., There were fresh seafood just to look at.
“They cook right there, but the taste is not bad.”
Chefs wearing white cook uniforms and large chef hats were busily moving where Lee Da-eun pointed.
It looked more delicious because you could see the process of making the food right behind the transparent glass.
Although she explained with an innocent expression, she didn’t miss the collar. She then released it carefully, realizing that she was still holding on to her collar.
“Lol…”
“Thank you for letting me know”
“Yep”
Lee Da-eun received the lobster cooked by the chef and began to place it on an empty plate. I also put it on a plate to taste the famous lobster.
“Are you close with Seo-ah?”
“You got hit a lot today”
“Seo… Did Seo-ah hit you?”
Lee Da-eun’s surprised expression, I made a gloomy expression because I had fun.
Lee Da-eun had a lot of expressions, maybe because her facial expressions changed more than others, so she was the type to show all her emotions on her face.
Even so, she didn’t feel forced to exaggerate, so it was nice to see.
“Seo-ah… There’s no way…”
I felt genuinely perplexed. I said, suppressing the laughter that leaked out.
“I sparred today, but they didn’t look at me.”
“Ah~ What is it! I was surprised. Hehe”
Is this the kind of person who makes me feel good just by being next to him?
Kang Joo-won, who made such a bright child depressed, was trash. How can you leave such a nice and pretty girl alone?
“I hope you treat Seo-ah well. Although Seo-ah looks blunt, she actually has a soft heart…”
‘Isn’t Seo-ah cute?’
“Being alone always bothered me, but I’m glad I made a good friend!”
Seeing him smiling with a warm smile made me want to tease him for some reason.
“I’m not your friend”
“Yes?”
Lee Da-eun, who was sincerely embarrassed, her eyes quivered here and there.
“I’m kidding”
“I’ll keep making fun of you!”
[Lee Da-eun’s favorability has increased. ]
She got angry for a moment, then burst into laughter again.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen Seo-ah smile, so it’s good that she looks close hehe”
Lee Da-eun was smiling, but somehow her expression was not good.
‘Like Sensitivity System’
============
Name: Lee Da Eun
– Likeability: 43
– Sex drive: 0
– Fatigue 24
My heart: In the past, we were like that too… I hope Joo Won comes back.
============
The affinity between people seeing each other for the first time started at around 20.
As her looks have gone up, she’s often started with a high likeability rating, but at 43 she’s on the pretty high side.
‘I like it, but I don’t feel like she likes it’
Even if she likes her as a person to person, it doesn’t seem like she’s thinking of her as an object of love.
Perhaps the reason was that she was Kang Joo-won. When she thinks of Kang Ju-won, she gets depressed.
‘Am I still thinking about Kang Joo-won?’
I don’t know what happened to the two of them, but it was clear that Kang Joo-won was pushing Lee Da-eun away.
To push such a perfect woman away, it was clear that Kang Joo-won was her trash.
I spoke to Lee Da-eun, who looked depressed.
“Are you worried?”
“Huh? No… Not at all.”
“Your expression is not good, but if you have any concerns, tell me. Didn’t we decide to be friends from today?”
“Chi… Friends?”
“Am I the only one who thought so?”
I approached Lee Da-eun with a pitiful expression on her face.
Even at a distance of about 50 cm, she blushed at Lee Da-eun and stepped back.
“Sorry! Friends! Yes, we’re friends from today!”
He tried to laugh it off, but his gloomy expression remained the same. Especially, whenever I said the word ‘friend’, my eyes shook.
It was clear that the reason had to do with Kang Joo-won. Then what I need to do is simple.
“What did you fight with Kang Joo-won? Did you say you were a childhood friend?”
“No no! We never fought… Never…”
When Kang Joo-won’s name came up, Lee Da-eun was startled, and her pupils shook more violently than before.
“The atmosphere didn’t look good for something like that.”
“I… I’m really fine.”
I said while laughing at Lee Da-eun’s sideways movement.
“Friends help each other. If you have any concerns, tell me. I’m good at counseling.”
In fact, I’ve never done anything like trouble counseling. But isn’t that just a matter of giving the other person the answer they want?
“Friends help each other…”
I still had a strong feeling of hesitation. When I first met her, I thought it was easy because I was feeling a crush on her, but it doesn’t seem to be like that.
“Because I’m a man, I can tell you from a different perspective.”
“Ah…”
I felt like I was almost passed over, but it would be hard to talk about it here. I handed Lee Da-eun her smart watch.
“If you change your mind later, please contact me. I want to help my friends. You look so dark.”
I handed it over casually, and Lee Da-eun hesitated, then put her plate down and saved her number.
“This… This is my number”
I quickly saved Lee Da-eun’s number.
‘Ida got her phone number.’
“…She thanks for caring about that”
“Let’s wait for the kids.”
“Yeah… Siuya hehe”
When I returned to my seat with a decent amount of lobster, Kang Min-ji and Yoon Seo-ah, and Kang Joo-won and Su-ah were talking torn apart.
In the middle, Kang Joo-won started talking to her, but her eyes could see that she was at a loss. She seems to be because Lee Da-eun, who controlled her mood in the middle, disappeared.
‘Even if it’s Kang Joo-won, honestly, it would be hard to talk to Min-ji or Seo-ah.’
If the other person doesn’t accept it, what will it be if she talks about Kang Ju-won alone? I got Lee Da-eun’s number while Kang Joo-won was shoveling.
‘This is a one-way deal exchange’
As she sat down, Kang Min-ji glared at her.
“Hey, why are you so late?”
“Huh? It’s the first time I’ve seen all of those foods…”
Her conscience pricked a bit, but she wasn’t lying, as she had heard Lee Da-eun introduce her to her food.
When Kang Min-ji heard my answer, he stopped staring at me and sent her eyes of sympathy.
“No… That’s okay… Don’t eat that corn meal again, eat a lot here and go…”
“It’s quite edible, but…”
I tasted the lobster recommended by Lee Da-eun.
‘And… Mr.. Dog is delicious’
The taste is incomparable to the crab meat I have eaten so far, and the taste was no joke, perhaps because the hotel chefs grilled it themselves.
I applied the plump flesh and handed it to Minji.
“Minji, try this.”
“Hey my… I’ll eat”
Min-ji refused, but she quickly accepted and ate it before her eyes were drawn to it. Then she cleared her throat in shame.
“Mm… It’s delicious…”
“Please give me too…”
“Seo-ah, you too?”
The expressionless expression seemed to have no idea.
“Huh”
I had no choice but to lean over and feed Yoon Seo-ah lobster. There was no choice but to draw attention, but Lee Da-eun was looking at Seo-ah with a cute expression, and Kang Joo-won,
‘A laser will come out of the baby’s eye!’
After a good meal, we went back home.
***
“I got Lee Da-eun’s number too, and she’s not bad!”
Today could be said to have been a well-spent day.
“Then shall we do something we couldn’t do yesterday?”
Feeling relaxed, I searched for today’s horoscope on the Internet. If you enter your date of birth and the time you were born, it will tell you your horoscope for the day.
“Today’s fortune is…”
I checked my money luck. Actually, I don’t believe in it because I think it’s superstitious, but it’s human psychology that people feel good when they say they’re lucky.
Today is the day everything goes well,
[Random item draw: 57 cards]
“Monetary luck… The best”
It was a perfect day to write gacha tickets.
