Chapter 18 – JUF-009 (13)
Cleo and Tiffany cafeteria.
I was sitting in the corner eating quietly.
Choi A-ran had been begging for a while to go out and eat, but she was still a little anxious about leaving the filming set.
Moreover, when the side dishes are this great, is there really a need to go out and eat them?
Since you can eat as much as you like at a buffet, there was no need to worry.
I was literally replenishing calories by filling my plate.
‘It’s good. Delicious. I made a lot of semen and the rice tasted like honey.’
Bulgogi and hamburger steak.
And fried chicken is provided in almost unlimited quantities.
Perhaps because it was a women’s company where the amount of food wasn’t very large, there was always food left no matter how much we ate.
─ Crumbling
I diligently used my hands to stir up the food.
As I filled my mouth with meat and munched on it, people around me looked at me as if I was seeing a strange animal.
But I didn’t care about what people around me thought.
Anyway, this is a company that has already opened everything except the dick in the shower room.
If the rumor had spread, it would have already happened, so it wouldn’t have gotten any worse.
I was in the middle of eating chicken like that.
It is said that even tigers will come when told, and just then the culprit of the rumor was approaching from afar.
Women approaching with salad on a plate.
It was a group in the shower room, including Teacher Eun and Teacher Jeong.
“Oh my. Minhyuk. Are you eating alone?”
Teacher Jeong was impressive with his unique strange eyes.
She naturally sat across from me and smiled.
Next to him, other groups, including Teacher Eun and Teacher Yeon, began to sit down one after another.
I carefully looked around at their sudden gathering.
I was afraid that Choi A-ran might be watching.
I really wanted to feel at ease when eating.
I’m worried that if this happens, I’ll lose weight in the food I used to eat.
“Yes. I don’t know anyone, so I’m eating alone.”
When I looked slightly uncomfortable, Teacher Jeong smiled even more shamelessly.
The way she rested her chin and looked at him intently was the kind of look that would tempt a man.
“I don’t know anyone. You just met us earlier.”
“… Well, that’s true. Anyway, I would like to apologize once again for the shower room incident. It’s because of me that you just gave up on me.”
“Oh, no. You have a perfect body. By the way, do you do any exercise? Your body is very strong, and you eat a lot.”
When she saw the pile of meat on my plate, she said she was surprised.
I tend to exercise a lot by nature and am a very voracious eater, so eating this much doesn’t really qualify as overeating.
“It’s just a little bit of a pity. I’m hungry after working so hard, so I have an appetite.”
“Oh, I see. It’s nice to see you working hard.”
She reacted excessively by clapping her hands even to trivial answers.
Then, as she was getting tired of this, Teacher Eun suddenly joined in and asked a question.
She was not as uncomfortable as Mr. Jeong because she had an inner intimacy with him.
“By the way, Minhyuk, how old are you this year? Just looking at your face, you look like our age.”
There was a hint of playfulness in that question.
This is Teacher Eun, who always gave me a lot of compliments whether I knew it or not.
I felt like I wanted to make her feel a little better.
“Hmm. It’s a bit difficult to look like someone your age.”
“… Yes? Why?”
“I don’t like looking too young. If I look my age, I mean I look very young.”
When he answered that, a long line was drawn at the corner of Teacher Eun’s mouth.
Really, this method has never failed to work.
For a woman, face value is nothing short of pride.
“Phew! What is this? Are you flirting?”
“No, I’m just telling you the truth.”
“Oh, okay. I passed. Minhyuk, do you have good sense? He must be popular with women.”
In response, she nodded her head as if Teacher Yeon was agreeing with her.
“So. Surprisingly, isn’t he a very flirtatious person? Is he good at looking? Is there a little peach on his face?”
I also skillfully praised Teacher Yeon.
First of all, if you just say nice things, like throwing away a blank check, women will perceive you as being on the same side.
“So, she likes her husband and her wealth. In particular, she has a smooth face, so she will be loved by her husband in the future.”
“Oh my. Really? Mr. Minhyuk, do you know how to look at physiognomy?”
There was a time when I studied physiognomy to try to become more popular with women.
In small talk, there is no topic that is as good at getting a woman’s attention as physiognomy or fortune-telling.
“It’s not exact. I studied it a few times just for fun.”
Then, Teacher Jeong also quickly raised his hand and asked for contemplation.
“Me too. Please look at me too.”
It seemed like something was going on in an annoying way, but since the topic has already been brought up, we need to look at it properly.
If you try to gloss over it or ignore it, your current interest will just turn into irritation.
I looked at many women’s physiognomy and made one rule.
That is, never mention the bad parts and only focus on praising the good parts.
Also, he never said anything negative.
What they want is not an objective physiognomy evaluation.
It is just entertainment and interest to satisfy momentary curiosity.
So there is absolutely no need to upset the other person with harsh words.
‘Okay. Just by looking at this guy, he is the type of person who is confident in his eyes.’
You could tell just by looking at the elaborate makeup on the eyes.
I emphasized that point and made the physiognomy seem plausible.
“This person has perfect eyes. They are so-called eyes that can capture a man. They are also called tiger or cat eyes, but because their tails are not too high, they have a gentle personality and a strong sense of independence. The color of the pupils is also clear and transparent, giving them a sense of humor and wisdom. I get the feeling that when a person like this gets married, don’t you often hear that he is very smart about his life?”
In response to that question, Teacher Eun, who was next to me, made a fuss and answered for me.
She shows a lot of interest even though it is not about her in particular.
Even at first glance, she was a person who was sincere about fortune-telling and contemplation.
“Oh my. It’s true. Teacher Jeong is the exact same person. He gets things done like a knife and has strong leadership.”
When her partner, Teacher Jeong, also praised her eyes, which were her main attractive point, the corners of her mouth twitched as if she was in a good mood.
Of course, unless she’s an idiot, she’ll know that it’s just for fun.
However, no matter how obvious a compliment it was, hearing it from someone else made me feel good.
“Hmm. Minhyuk, you seem to have a player personality. I thought he was simple, but he’s very clever. I think he knows what women like, right?”
“Really? Well, I’ll take it as a compliment. I don’t really look like a player, so honestly, I feel good.”
“Look at this. Just by looking at his smirk, it’s clear that he’s met some women.”
Teacher Yeon and Teacher Eun nodded their heads in unison, as if agreeing with her words.
“That’s right. There’s something about people that are relaxed.”
“So, isn’t he a real player? Showing off his body in the shower was actually all calculated.”
“Oh my. So are we now being bewitched by Minhyuk and being ripped off? I’m a bit scared of that kind of thing.”
“Ah. Anyway, here’s the tip. Minhyuk, don’t take offense. Everyone is just joking.”
Of course, I don’t feel bad.
Even if only three women get together, something like this happens quite often.
It’s enough to just let it out through one ear and set the mood.
When the small talk that started with contemplation continues in full swing.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind me.
The jaw that was chewing the meat automatically stopped and looked for the person who was hearing the voice.
“… What are you all so happy about?”
Even before my gaze made contact, I could sense the owner of that voice.
A firm yet gentle voice that tickles your eardrums.
Behind him, Choi A-ran was standing tall.
“I came to eat too. Can we sit together? The atmosphere at the table looks really nice.”
When she appeared, she and her colleagues invited her to take a seat.
It was a natural reaction since they would have never dreamed of my relationship with Choi A-ran.
In particular, Teacher Eun, who was close to Choi A-ran, even introduced me personally.
“Teacher Choi. This is the new member of the facility I mentioned earlier. His name is Minhyuk. He was eating alone, so we joined him.”
“… Ho. Minhyuk? That’s a cool name. Nice to meet you. My name is Choi A-ran.”
Then, he gently shook my hand, and there was a strange pressure in the hands we held together.
Well, she kept her name a complete secret from herself, but she must be very angry to hear my name from another woman’s mouth.
“… Thank you. Please take care of me too.”
After briefly saying hello to her, Aran Choi immediately blended into the atmosphere.
“Anyway, what was everyone talking about? I could hear laughter from far away.”
Teacher Yeon quickly answered that question.
“Ah. Min-hyuk was looking after us. I have a nice forehead, so I said I would find a good husband. Teacher Jeong has nice eyes, so he seems like he would be smart and do a good job. But since he only said nice things, I guess Min-hyuk was trying to seduce us. I think so.”
Of course it was meant as a joke, but I guess it didn’t seem like a joke to Choi A-ran.
She asked me, gritting her molars.
“… Do you know how to look at physiognomy?”
I answered while slightly averting my gaze at that eerie death.
“I just… Know how to see a little bit.”
Then, Choi A-ran points to herself with her finger and orders her gaze.
“Then, please take a look at my physiognomy. Do I have the physiognomy to be cheated on by a man?”
It reminds me of Grand Prince Suyang who asked if he was destined to become king.
The answer has already been decided and all I have to do is say it.
I immediately shook my head and answered.
It was not an evaluation of her physiognomy, but an explanation of her current situation and a confession of her loyalty to her.
“Aran is a good person who will live long and happy life. There may be a few minor incidents, but your pet’s affection will be sincere, so you don’t have to worry.”
She seemed to like my answer and nodded her head once.
“Thank you. I’ve been seeing a guy lately, and he’s a bit cheating, so I was really worried. Thanks to you, I feel a little relieved.”
“… Not much to say.”
“Like Minhyuk said, we have to hope that the man’s love will continue. If things don’t work out, all we have to do is tie him up somewhere, so he can’t escape.”
“…”
For a moment, I felt like the rice I was eating got stuck in my throat.
That must have been a warning sent to me by Choi A-ran.
