Chapter 67 – Lotto Girl (3)
“Mint… chocolate?”
No way…!
My heroine candidate likes mint chocolate!
In the midst of my confusion, Yoon Da-jung giggled, noticing my expression.
“You don’t like mint chocolate, Mister?”
“Ah. Yeah. It’s not really my thing. But everyone has different tastes. Do you like it?”
Yoon Da-jung shook her head.
“I haven’t tried it yet. The kids were making such a fuss about mint chocolate, so I was curious and thought I’d try it this time.”
“Ah.”
I see. Then I understand.
Honestly, it’s understandable to be curious. Maybe, it might suit her taste.
“Then you should try mint chocolate.”
“Should I? Ugh. But I’m also really curious about ‘Mom is an Alien’…”
“Why? Did your friends talk about that too?”
“No. It’s just that the name is so unique, I’m curious. Don’t you wonder what kind of flavor would get the name ‘Mom is an Alien’?”
“I guess so.”
Yoon Da-jung pondered, her head in her hands.
Even her pondering is cute.
I chuckled and headed to the counter, leaving her as she was.
Seeing that she grabbed me to thank me, Yoon Da-jung was probably planning to buy me one, but I could afford this much.
I held out my card and ordered the ice cream.
“Two double regulars, please. One mint chocolate and ‘Mom is an Alien’. The other maple walnut and cherry jubilee.”
“Okay, will you be eating here?”
“Yes.”
“That’ll be 12,400 won. Card received.”
As I was paying, Yoon Da-jung approached me.
“Ah! Why are you paying, Mister?”
“I thought it would take you a while to decide. Just try both.”
“I, I should be buying you… How much is it?”
I stopped Yoon Da-jung, who was about to take out her money.
“It’s okay. You said you need to save money, so save this too. I’ll buy it.”
When I said that, Yoon Da-jung’s lips moved as if she was about to say something, but she blushed and said,
“Th, thank you.”
I just responded to Yoon Da-jung’s thanks with a smile.
The ice cream came out quickly.
We took a seat near the window, a good spot.
“Thank you for the food~.”
“Sure.”
She’s so polite.
Yoon Da-jung, who had said that to me, took a spoonful of mint chocolate ice cream and brought it to her dainty little mouth.
Thump-thump.
I wonder what she’ll say about the taste.
I quietly watched Yoon Da-jung, and she savored the ice cream.
“Hmm…”
“How is it?”
Yoon Da-jung’s expression after eating the ice cream was, how should I say it, very subtle.
“I’m not sure. I don’t think it’s really my taste, but it’s ice cream, so it’s okay, I guess…?”
This time, Yoon Da-jung took a spoonful of ‘Mom is an Alien’ and ate it. Her face brightened.
“Ah! This is quite delicious.”
“I’m glad then.”
Yoon Da-jung happily ate her ice cream.
For some reason, just watching her eat so deliciously made me feel full. Is this what it feels like to have a pet?
While eating her ice cream, she suddenly looked at mine.
“H, hey, can I try a bite of yours too, Mister?”
She looked really curious.
“Sure. Here.”
When I handed her my ice cream cup, she took a bite of my ice cream.
“Ah…”
“Why?”
“Yours is more delicious. What’s the name of this?”
“This? Cherry Jubilee.”
“Wow. This is my taste.”
It was a flavor that Yoon Da-jung would like. I said to her,
“Heh. Should we switch?”
“Ah, no. You don’t have to go that far.”
Yoon Da-jung waved her hands.
The atmosphere had become quite natural.
I watched Yoon Da-jung eat her ice cream deliciously and suddenly asked a question.
“By the way, why do you play the lottery?”
“Hmm? The lottery?”
Yoon Da-jung tilted her head.
“Yeah. There must be a reason. If you were just buying it out of curiosity a few times, that’s one thing, but for a high school student to regularly ask someone else to buy it on a specific day, there must be a solid reason. And you said you need to save money.”
“Ah…”
A slight shadow fell over Yoon Da-jung’s face.
I added,
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I was just curious.”
“Ah, no. It’s nothing big. I’ll tell you.”
Yoon Da-jung sucked on her ice cream spoon.
“We have debts at home.”
“Debts?”
“Yes. My dad left home a few years ago. I guess he had a lot of debt, because one day people came and took away the house and furniture we were living in as part of his debt.”
“Huh…”
It was a heavy story after a long time.
“My dad was hardly ever home since I was little. My mom said he was addicted to gambling, and they fought a lot whenever he came home. So it was mostly me, my mom, and my sister living together… Suddenly, the house and furniture disappeared, and we completely lost contact with my dad.”
“So your mother is paying off your father’s debt?”
When I asked, Yoon Da-jung shook her head.
“That’s not it. There’s no law that says my mom has to pay off my dad’s debt. I don’t know the details… but they said the furniture was joint property, and the house we were living in was collateral, so they took it all. So, in an instant, we lost our home and became penniless, and my mom took on a lot of debt to support me and my sister.”
“I see… So that’s why the lottery?”
Yoon Da-jung nodded.
“Yes, my mom works all day at a restaurant, and my sister helps at the restaurant in the morning and works part-time in the afternoon. I said I would work too, but my mom and sister told me not to. So I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help, and I’m buying the lottery with some of my allowance, just in case.”
“I see.”
Yoon Da-jung forced a smile.
“It’s a boring story, right?”
“What? I didn’t ask for a fun story. It must have been hard…”
“No, it’s my mom and sister who are having a hard time. I’m not suffering at all. And our family atmosphere is good now.”
It was a sentence that showed how good Yoon Da-jung’s personality was.
‘Still, a family debt…’
I didn’t know how much the debt was, but if Yoon Da-jung became my heroine, I would have to take care of it. It was another reason why I had to start something quickly.
I wanted all my heroines to enjoy a life of abundance.
Well, with the power of the heroine app, it would all work out, so I wasn’t too worried.
“Still, it’s a relief that I won third place.”
I nodded at Yoon Da-jung’s smile.
“Yeah.”
“But you won first place, Mister. Wow… That’s amazing. Do you analyze the lottery or something?”
“Analyze?”
“Yes. When you bought me the lottery last time, you said you were buying it calculatively. And the one you gave me was manual. I saw that there are places that analyze lottery numbers for money.”
Yoon Da-jung said, changing the mood.
I shook my head.
“Ah. It’s not like that. And don’t get lottery analysis. They just randomly pick numbers and send them.”
“Yeah. It was too expensive anyway, so I didn’t do it.”
“Good job.”
“But then, how did you win first place, Mister?”
Yoon Da-jung asked, looking curious.
Hmm. That’s right.
I couldn’t say that the smart glasses I was wearing told me.
What should I say~ After thinking for a moment, I chose an appropriate answer.
“I had a dream.”
“A dream?”
“Yeah. In my dream, a mystical Taoist appeared and told me a few lottery number combinations. So I bought them. And that’s how I won.”
“Wow. Really?”
“Yeah. The numbers were shining gold. The one I gave you was one of those combinations.”
Yoon Da-jung was impressed.
“Wow. I’ve seen that kind of story a few times. I’m jealous. I’ve never had a dream like that.”
“I had it for the first time this time.”
When I said that, Yoon Da-jung fidgeted slightly with her fingers.
“Ah. Th, then, if you have another dream, could you tell me?”
“Huh? Oh. Sure, I’ll tell you.”
I didn’t think there would be a need to win the lottery again, but I said yes for now.
Yoon Da-jung swallowed hard and said,
“Th, th, th, then, can I have your number, Mister?”
“Number?”
“Yes. To, to tell me about your dream, you need my contact information, right?”
That’s true.
‘But did I just get my number taken?’
It was a bit absurd that the first person to take my number was a high school student, but I felt good.
I didn’t have any resistance to this kind of situation, and Yoon Da-jung’s face was completely red.
It was rather surprising that I was so relaxed in this situation.
I couldn’t have imagined this a month ago.
“Here.”
“Okay…”
When I gave my phone to Yoon Da-jung, she typed in her number and gave it back to me.
“Here you go. Oh. Right, my name is…”
“Yoon Da-jung, right?”
“H, how did you know?”
Without saying anything, I pointed to the name tag on her chest.
“Ah…”
Yoon Da-jung’s face turned red.
“It’s a pretty name.”
“Hehe. Thank you. My mom gave it to me.”
After that, we finished our ice cream without saying much.
“Let’s get going.”
“Okay.”
Before parting ways outside, Yoon Da-jung bowed to me again.
“Thank you so much for today.”
“No, it’s okay. You be careful going home too. Don’t lose the envelope.”
“Yes, Mister. Uhm… I’ll, I’ll text you later.”
Yoon Da-jung said that and then ran towards the bus stop.
I watched her cutely and then turned around.
******
As I entered the studio apartment, a savory smell stimulated my nose.
Mmm. Good.
“Soo-jung, Lia. I’m home.”
“Ah. Jin-hyun, you’re back? Wait a little bit~. I’m making dinner right now.”
“Welcome back, Jin-hyun.”
When I came home, beautiful women greeted me with smiles.
Is this heaven?
“Oh? Did you buy something?”
Soo-jung’s gaze went to the bag in my hand.
“Ah, just. I bought some ice cream while I was out.”
I didn’t want to eat ice cream alone, so I bought some. I also wanted to know Soo-jung and Delia’s tastes, so I bought a variety.
If it were my convenience store part-time days when I didn’t have much money, I couldn’t have imagined Baskin Robbins, but now I could buy two of the biggest ones without any problem.
“Wow. Really? That’s perfect for dessert. But, why did you buy so much?”
“We can eat it little by little. And it won’t be much for Delia.”
“Ah…”
Soo-jung also knew that Delia had an unusual appetite, so she nodded.
“But where did you go?”
“Ah. I was looking around the neighborhood to see where and what I should do in the future. I’m also thinking about moving.”
“Oh. Moving?”
“Yeah.”
Actually, I didn’t just meet Yoon Da-jung.
On the way back, I bought ice cream and looked around to see if there was anything I could do around here. There was no harvest though…
‘This thing is really a lifesaver.’
Luck Tracker.
It was truly a cheat item.
Just by walking around and asking, ‘How is that store? Will it do well?’ it would answer with a golden light.
I could probably make a lot of money if I used these glasses for stocks.
No matter how much debt Yoon Da-jung had, I wouldn’t have to worry. I could move, start a business, and if the remaining money wasn’t enough, I could make more money with stocks.
“We should get out of here now. I won the lottery too. Let’s live together from now on, Soo-jung?”
When I said that, Soo-jung was surprised and asked back.
“R, really?”
“Of course, it’s real. I have a lot of money, so let’s go to a good place. Let’s get a nice house.”
“Wow. I love you! Jin-hyun.”
Soo-jung hugged me. She seemed quite touched.
Her soft breasts pressed against me pleasantly.
“What? Aren’t you being too happy? You say you love me just because I said we’re getting a house, you’re such a gold digger, Soo-jung.”
“Tch. You know that’s not it.”
“It’s okay if Delia lives with us too, right?”
“Yeah. Of course. Hehe.”
Kiss.
Soo-jung gave me a light kiss. Seeing Soo-jung so happy made me feel energized.
Looking at Delia next to me, she was also smiling.
‘But why do I feel a slight chill…?’
Thinking about it, I’ve been having too much affection with Soo-jung lately, leaving Delia out. I’ve had my head on her lap and stuff, but I’ve kissed Soo-jung a lot with Delia next to me.
Even when we had sex in the black room, Delia would quietly move away and use the computer.
Of course, it was unavoidable because I haven’t collected enough coins to get Delia’s special trait…
‘Won’t Delia attack me really hard when she does?’
She follows me, but her stats are much higher than mine.
I ignored the strange premonition and enjoyed a delicious meal with them.
