Chapter 28 – Episode 28 – Date (1)
Kang Su-jeong, having sent the message, waited anxiously for Cheon Jin-hyeon’s reply.
If she got rejected here, she would be in real trouble.
Today, she had to make sure to go all the way with Jin-hyeon and prove that his thing felt better. And she had to escape from the grasp of her master… no, that man.
[Jin-hyeon♥: Sure~ Is there anything you want to do?]
“Phew.”
Kang Su-jeong had a faint smile on her lips. Thank goodness. But she hadn’t made any specific date plans yet.
[Me: Hmm. How about we have lunch first, and then maybe a movie? What do you think?]
Even after sending the message, she thought it was too obvious.
But honestly, what else could she think of besides a movie?
Still, they had to be together until dinner, and nothing filled the time as well as a movie date.
[Jin-hyeon♥: Okay. What kind of movie should we watch?]
[Me: What genre do you like, Jin-hyeon? Sci-fi? Action?]
[Jin-hyeon♥: I’m fine with anything. I’m an omnivore. Anything is OK.]
[Me: Ugh. That’s the most difficult answer… (ㅡ.ㅡ;)]
Even as she typed that, Kang Su-jeong’s lips curled up slightly.
Really, anything was okay? She’d looked it up online, and it said that the atmosphere was important for a date. So, wouldn’t a romance movie be the standard?
[Me: Then, how about this?]
[Me: (Picture)]
Kang Su-jeong sent a poster of a romance movie she had found yesterday.
The movie was called ‘That Autumn Day.’ It had been out for three weeks, but it was still playing actively. The reviews were pretty good too.
‘…But why isn’t he replying?’
Jin-hyeon, who usually replied right away, hadn’t replied for over 10 seconds.
Was a romance movie not his thing after all?
Should she have just suggested an action movie?
Just as a little worry started to creep in, a message arrived.
[Jin-hyeon♥: Yeah, that sounds fun~ Let’s watch that.]
Ah. Thank goodness. He must have been searching.
[Me: Okay. I’ll book the tickets in advance!]
[Jin-hyeon♥: Then, what time should we meet?]
Kang Su-jeong glanced at the time on her phone.
[Me: It’s 9:50 now, so how about we meet around 11:30?]
[Jin-hyeon♥: Okay. See you then.]
Jin-hyeon replied. Kang Su-jeong paused while typing her reply.
‘Is it, is it a little too early…?’
She wondered whether to add the words ‘I love you.’ She went through thousands of internal conflicts for a few seconds. Then, she shook her head and pressed the send button.
[Me: Okay, okay. I’ll come down! …And I love you♡]
‘Eek! What do I do? I sent it.’
She was embarrassed, but she had already sent it.
And the number 1 had disappeared too.
They were dating, so it was okay to express herself like this, right? Right?
Kang Su-jeong waited for a reply with a pounding heart.
[Jin-hyeon♥: Okay. Ring the bell when you come. I’ll be waiting. And I love you too~]
“Wow, jackpot.”
She hadn’t expected to get a reply saying ‘I love you,’ but it made her feel so good.
Even though she hadn’t heard it, it felt like Jin-hyeon’s voice was ringing in her ears.
Kang Su-jeong put down her phone with a big smile on her face. She had made a date, and the messages were very satisfying!
Now, she had to meet him, create a natural atmosphere… and then, seduce him… and then, do that kind of thing…
‘Eek! I don’t know…!’
Just imagining it made her face flush. She had been summoned by her master… no, no, no, that man, and had been subjected to worse things, but she felt embarrassed because it was Jin-hyeon.
‘Yeah. If just imagining it makes me feel like this, it’s obvious that doing it with Jin-hyeon will feel much better!’
Kang Su-jeong got out of bed and washed herself cleaner than ever before.
She dried her hair well and took out the dress and slip she had prepared to wear today from her closet.
Her ‘winning’ underwear? Or should she call it her ‘winning’ slip?
It was a unique slip she had bought while shopping with Ye-hwa before.
It was a very modest slip that covered all the way to her stomach when worn normally, but it was double-layered, so if you unfastened a few snaps, the outer layer would come off and the mesh underneath would be revealed.
At the time, she didn’t know why she was buying something like this, but it was finally coming in handy.
Kang Su-jeong blushed and tried on the slip.
It fit her perfectly.
She looked at herself in the full-length mirror with the mesh showing, and saw herself with the shy expression of a girl about to experience her first love.
But, contrary to that expression, the slip looked very provocative.
‘Jin-hyeon will like it, right…?’
Kang Su-jeong swallowed hard and sat in front of her small vanity. She had her outfit ready, so now it was time to do her makeup.
Kang Su-jeong looked closely at her face.
‘My skin has definitely gotten better.’
She could see that her face had become prettier than before.
Not just her skin, but her whole appearance had subtly changed. In a good way, of course.
When was that?
That’s right.
It was the day before she exchanged contact information with Jin-hyeon for the first time.
When she looked in the mirror after finishing her broadcast that day, her body and face had improved noticeably.
‘I’m still not as good as Ye-hwa though…’
Kang Su-jeong gave a bitter smile. But she was confident enough.
Kang Su-jeong started her base makeup with the cosmetics set she had received as a gift from her mother.
She made it thin and light so that it wouldn’t feel like she had a lot of makeup on. No caking. There was no need to go heavy.
Even with just a thin layer, Kang Su-jeong’s face was radiant enough.
She added a little emphasis to her eyes with eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow, and then applied a light pink lipstick that was close to apricot. Finally, she added lip gloss to give it a shine and completed her makeup.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve done my makeup like this…’
It didn’t even take 15 minutes, but this was the first time since her mother taught her how to do makeup at her high school graduation.
Kang Su-jeong usually just put on sunscreen when she went out, and even when she was broadcasting, she only did basic makeup, foundation, and eyeliner.
She firmly believed her mother and friends when they said she was pretty without makeup.
These days, she had been going out to meet Jin-hyeon every day, so she had been putting on eyeliner when she went out, but conversely, she had not been turning on her camera for her recent broadcasts, so she had been broadcasting without any makeup at all.
“Let’s do our best…!”
Kang Su-jeong, having finished her hair, clenched her fists adorably. The time for her date was approaching soon.
***
After exchanging messages with Su-jeong, I hurried to the hair salon to get a haircut.
Not the cheap 8,000 won corner salon I usually went to, but a stylish-looking 20,000 won salon.
It was our first date after we started dating, so I had to look my best.
Satisfied with my new haircut, I paid and went home to take a good shower. Then, I dressed as neatly as possible.
Looking at myself in the bathroom mirror, I struck a pose like a male actor.
Oh, not bad?
I think I look pretty good, right?
Lost in my self-admiration, I nodded. Handsome Cheon Jin…!
– Ding-dong~
Just then, the bell rang, and I immediately opened the front door.
“Hi~ Jin-hyeon!”
“Oh, Su-jeong, I’ve been waiting… what?”
But when I saw Su-jeong standing in front of the door, I could completely forget about my shallow thought that I looked handsome.
Kang Su-jeong appeared in a pink dress.
She exuded a pure charm, but at the same time, she also created a sexy atmosphere with the volume of her figure that she couldn’t hide.
And her scent was so good, my nose reacted involuntarily.
Smiling brightly, she didn’t seem to be the same species as me. She was always pretty, but this was the first time I had seen her this pretty… No, wait, does that mean she usually didn’t wear makeup?
Comparing her face to my face in the bathroom mirror a little while ago, I realized again that I was just a squid.
“Why? Do I look weird…?”
Su-jeong, blushing shyly, asked me, noticing my dumbfounded reaction of staring blankly at her face.
“Ah, no. It’s just… you’re so pretty. I can’t take my eyes off you.”
“Hehe, thank you~ Jin-hyeon, you look great today too.”
But even with the compliment from a squid like me, Su-jeong twisted her body.
I smiled at her reaction and took her hand.
Su-jeong’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, and then she quickly wrapped her arm around mine.
“It feels good to hear you say that. Shall we go now?”
“Yeah!”
Seeing her bright smile made my heart flutter. Even though I had transformed and enjoyed such lewd acts with her, it made me think that men were simple creatures.
‘I need to raise my appearance stat soon.’
If I could raise my stats, I was going to raise things like stamina and mentality first, and leave appearance for later, but it seemed like it would be better to raise my appearance from time to time.
A handsome and beautiful couple was better than an average-looking couple, right?
“By the way, Su-jeong, where are we going?”
“E-toll Department Store. I made a reservation at TGI Sunday there for 12 o’clock~ Ah… have you had lunch yet?”
“No. I haven’t even had breakfast.”
“Hehe. Me neither. The movie is at 1:50, so we have plenty of time to eat.”
“Sounds good.”
We walked down the street under the summer sun.
Fortunately, it was relatively cool today, and the sun was shining on us lukewarmly.
There was also a breeze from time to time.
I matched my pace to hers.
The feeling of her arm touching mine felt good. Especially the sensation of her side boob subtly touching me was amazing.
Ah, I’m being healed. Is this what healing is?
“Hey, hey. What’s up with that person?”
“Wow. She’s so pretty. I’m so jealous.”
“I know. The guy isn’t that handsome… Hey. Honestly, I’m better looking, right?”
As we came out of a secluded area into a park near the main road, there were some people.
The men couldn’t take their eyes off Su-jeong.
Her looks and figure were that radiant. If I hadn’t gotten the Heroine app, I probably would have been one of them.
“Oh, shut up. That’s not true. The guy is average, but he still looks much better than you?”
“What? You little… Ah, hey! Where are you going~ Hey!”
His voice was loud.
While I was admiring, Su-jeong suddenly hugged my arm tighter and said.
“To me, Jin-hyeon is the most handsome…”
“Huh?”
Ah. She heard what they were saying.
Su-jeong’s attempt to comfort me was so cute.
Since there was a 90+ favorability filter, it was possible that she was being sincere.
I just smiled.
Since I had the Heroine app, there was no need to worry about other people’s reactions in a negative way.
***
“Wow. That was touching.”
“Yeah. There was a reason why the reviews were good.”
After eating a delicious meal and watching a movie, we chatted as we came out of the theater.
Su-jeong even had a few tears in her eyes near the end of the movie.
I also felt a little touched, so it was definitely a good movie.
It was a movie I had already seen with Yu-jeong, but… at that time, I was too focused on trying to get a kiss. To be honest, I didn’t really focus on the movie. And we even left halfway through, so that says it all.
“What are we going to do now?”
“Hmm. That’s…”
When I asked her while sitting on a bench, Su-jeong trailed off. It seemed like she hadn’t thought about what to do, even though we had met early. I stared at her for a moment and said.
“Then, how about we go to Namsan Tower?”
“Huh? Namsan Tower?”
“Yeah. There’s something called the ‘Locks of Love’ there. They say that if you lock a lock and throw away the key, your love will last forever.”
“Wow. That’s nice. How far is it from here?”
“About 50 minutes? It says it takes about that long. Shall we go?”
It was 3:30 now.
Usually, people go in the evening, but it didn’t matter if we went now.
It was open until 11, so we had plenty of time.
“Yeah! Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Su-jeong clapped her hands and was happy. We took the subway near the department store.
“Is that it?”
“Yeah. We’re here.”
After getting off the subway and taking a bus, we walked for about 10 minutes and arrived at the Namsan Cable Car ticket office. If we had come on a weekend, it would have been packed with people, but since it was a Tuesday at an awkward time, there weren’t many people.
“The boarding platform is on the 3rd floor. Please go up two more floors to use the cable car.”
It was 8,500 won per person for a round trip. I paid 17,000 won with my card.
“Psh. I said I would pay…”
“You paid for the meal and the movie. If you have any conscience, I should pay for this.”
Actually, I didn’t have a conscience. I had been calling her out and taking advantage of her every day.
And I didn’t plan on having one in the future either.
“Tch…”
She pouted her lips.
Her expression was so cute that I wanted to kiss her. But why was Su-jeong pouting when I was the one who paid?
So far, she had paid 50,000 won for the meal, 20,000 won for the movie tickets, and even 15,000 won for popcorn.
I tried to split the bill, but Su-jeong used the fact that I was unemployed as an excuse and used her card to pay.
So far, the only thing I had paid for was the cable car.
‘Geez…’
At this point, I thought that if I just kept raising the favorability of women, I wouldn’t starve to death even if I didn’t find a job.
“Wow. That was touching.”
“Yeah. There was a reason why the reviews were good.”
