Returned to Being Handsome 36

Chapter 36 – Episode 36. Relay

“Oh, thank you.”

I accepted a glass of fresh fruit juice from a part-timer I saw at a rice ball restaurant.
At the same time, she was talking to me.

“Maybe… Can you give me some time?”

She’s pretty good too.

Really, this is like a rule.
Since I’m such a respectable man, the women who approach me also have a certain class.

It is natural for people to be wary when strangers approach them.

But again, I can’t be wary of this beautiful person wearing warm-looking clothes and handing me juice with a shy bright face.

I quickly got a sense of the situation.
The rice ball restaurant part-time girl, I suddenly felt that she had feelings for me too.

She passed in front of me where I was playing with Yoon-kyung earlier.

Judging from the fact that she was holding juice after that and came to me after Yun-kyung had gone, she was probably waiting for me until Yun-kyung had gone.

And as soon as Yun-kyung went, she came to me.

‘This isn’t like girls who fall in love with me relaying dashes…’

Even when she worked part-time at a rice ball restaurant, she thought she was pretty good.

In addition, seeing her in a different space called Let’s Eat Alley in her goshichon when there was a lot of floating population, rather than a place where she did her work, somehow she seemed to look better.

She was wearing a light gray sweater.
It fit pretty well too.

Since it is a gosichon, there are not many people who decorate it so fancy.
As far as she was concerned, she looked as if she had been dressed up just right.

I like that style too.

The clothes I bought at home were worn a lot when I went to Gangnam clubs in the past.
There are things that are casual and have a semi-formal look, and there are many men’s clothes that don’t seem to care, but somehow seem to care.

She could also be seen as a quiet caring type like me.

She had her hair on the long side.
And she has slightly thick eyebrows, I didn’t feel that way when I saw her at a rice ball restaurant, but when I saw her outside like this, she had a slightly bright face.

When she smiled with thin lips, her white teeth were charming.

She also covered it up with long hair, but basically her face was also a bit on the slim side.

It’s a bit feminine, but it’s a decent look that can be quite popular with most men.

For me, who considers baby face glamor as the best ideal type, it is a style that is slightly off the mark, but there was no room for objection to her beauty.

Everyone will have something like that.

Of course, it is not irrelevant whether the appearance is compliant or not.

But apart from that, when you just look at the opposite sex, the degree to which you are attracted to each person is different, and even for the same person, it can be different depending on the situation.

I thought this rice ball restaurant part-time girl was pretty good, but I also thought it didn’t fit my taste so perfectly.

That said, I also didn’t really have the heart to be in a relationship right now.

Because I’m only trying to concentrate on preparing for the civil service exam.

Study.
I put study first.
I don’t know how long my concentration will last, but for now it is.

So today, I studied until this time and came to the academy.

In this situation, dating the opposite sex interferes with my learning, so I was trying to moderate my encounters with the opposite sex.

Even if a lot of girls come to me as a simple favor at first, in general, there are a lot of people who want to go out with me.

That’s why I’m thinking about avoiding it from the beginning.

However, I decided not to refuse right now.
The reason seemed to be Yun-kyung.

I had a little bit of emptiness left by having a pleasant talk with Yoon-gyeong for a while.
This was great

After being with a person and after that person leaves, an unknown feeling of emptiness often remains.

Therefore, in the current situation, it could be seen that the part-time worker at the rice ball restaurant was quite lucky and entered the gap after talking with Yoon-gyeong.

So I asked her back without giving her a refusal.

“Ask for time? Now? It’s quite late…”
“Ah, let’s go for a walk together, I was wondering if you could do it.”

It should be obvious to look inside.
Looks like I have a heart.

However, in this case, there is something a little ambiguous.
She just said to take a walk for a while, but it’s a bit ambiguous to put an iron wall on me and ask if I have a heart.

And I also had a bit of my emptiness.
It was because I had just sent Yoon Kyung.

Because of that, I agreed to talk a little more with this rice ball restaurant part-time girl.

“I have to go to bed to go to the civil service academy tomorrow morning, so I don’t think I’ll be able to do it for long… I think it’ll be fine if it’s simple.”
“Ah, yes!”

After that, I took a short walk at night with a part-timer at a rice ball restaurant.

In the arcade, several paths stretch out.

Go left and you will find a path leading to the park.
If you go straight to the right, you will come to a large road that crosses the middle of the Goshichon.

I decided to go to the right and talk for a while while walking along the main road that runs through the goshichon with a part-timer at a rice ball restaurant.

If you go all the way up the main road, you will see an apartment complex.

There were still many people.

As I came out of the back alley of the game room and entered the full-fledged food alley and the uphill side of the sidewalk next to the main road, I could see more people.

People gather at countless meat restaurants and beer houses, as they do every night.

So, maybe this place looks like a city with a dual appearance.

While the aura of deep anger of job seekers lurks here and there countless times, it is a place with duality where the pleasure and desire of job seekers radiate.

Especially at night, when the drinking party is in full swing, this city seems to be a city buried in frantic pleasure.

When tomorrow morning comes again, the joy of the night like a mirage will pass and the reality of morning will come again.

As I walked through the city, I walked lightly with a part-timer at a rice ball restaurant and had a conversation.

As we walked with fresh fruit juices in each hand, she and I talked about this and that.

It definitely felt good too.
It was also fun because I was walking down the street with another new girl.

Why?

I’m curious about that too.
Originally, back in the day, I liked a girl who was like my real old best friend.

But now, I still like girls who feel like real old best friends, but I also like new girls.

I think about her sleeping with her or something like that.
But before that, I like to meet and communicate with people who have a new world.

Each person has their own world and I am curious about that world.
Just like many women are curious about my world, I also want to know their world.

With that in mind, I went for a little walk with her rice ball shop part-time girl, and learned a lot about her.

Her name was Siyeon Lee.
Lee Si-yeon was 25 years old.

Working at a rice ball restaurant is said to be shared with the boss and sometimes coordinated.

I usually work from 7am to 3pm.
On weekends, there are times when I go to the president’s patchwork, but usually I take a break.

Lee Si-yeon was also preparing for her civil service exam.
Since it is a gosichon, most of them can be seen as natural.

And Shi-yeon, she says that this exam will be a bit difficult because she can only study a little bit in her spare time after working.

She said that there is probably a higher chance of failing this test, but she says that she will try to do it for now.

And she says that she works and studies only until this test, and then, for the next test, she spends the money she earned before this test and concentrates on her studies, she says.

After earning money for a certain period of time, studying while spending the money in the next period is what many people, including myself, do.

Compared to me, her part-time job and study cycle were a bit different.

I have the mindset of earning 6 months and spending 6 months, but Siyeon seemed to have the mindset of earning 1 year and spending 1 year.

Either way, there are pros and cons, so it seemed hard to say which one was better.

As we talked about common topics related to such household surveys and preparations for civil servants, it seemed that Si-yeon Lee and I quickly became close while taking a walk.

As we walked, we talked for a while.

“Isn’t your brother at work right now?”
“Uh. I signed up for a problem-solving class and I’m listening.”
“Ah~, I’m going to study on my own until this test and then go to private academies. Could you recommend a teacher for me, oppa?”
“Hmm. It’s not difficult.”

The walk continued in a good mood.

The wind was a bit cold.

However, neither I nor Siyeon seemed to have reached a time when the night wind did not feel cold.

Whether it was because of what happened at the last rice ball restaurant, or maybe it was because she felt a little stronger about me, she felt like walking with a good person.

On the way to the entrance of the apartment complex, which was her destination, and then back down, she felt much more comfortable than when she went up.

Even on the way down after a moderate walk, we had a conversation.

“Did your brother work part-time too?”
“Uh, then. I’ve done a lot of things for several years since I was 20 years old.”
“Really? I thought you wouldn’t have tried it because my brother had the image of a nobleman.”
“I hear that kind of thing a lot. That’s true, but the thing I was most envious of when I came to the high school was the kids who used their dad’s cards a lot.”
“Really.

While taking a walk, a part-time job story came out like that.
Demonstration continued.

“I didn’t think about money or anything like that at first, but I felt it completely after coming here.”

I walked with her and talked about her, and I saw her once around that time.

“Then shouldn’t you be more interested in rich men? Oppa is a job seeker right now, isn’t it?”

At my words, Siyeon thought for a moment.
She was and she talked beside me as she walked with me.

“You’re so cool.”

This was also a phrase I heard countless times.

Usually, even if I breathe, I can hear that oppa is cool.
It’s a word that makes me feel good even if I hear it a lot.

When I heard from her Siyeon, it was because I was with her, so it could be that I’m handsome, or it could be that I’m flirtatious when I saved her from a part-time job last time.

I answered with both of her meanings in mind.

“Siyeon, you may have a little fantasy, but I’m not that great. Rather, the current situation is the same, so of course I can’t meet a girl on the premise of marriage.”

Demonstration said in my reply.

“Are you okay.”

And after thinking a little, she said.

“Brother. Actually, the reason I waited with the juice earlier was because I was very concerned about the other woman next to you.”
“Hmm?”
“You’re not dating yet, are you?”

She seemed quite perceptive.
While working part-time, she saw a lot of couples or people in a romantic relationship, so she seemed to be able to notice it to some extent.
I affirmed her words.

“Uh. We’re not dating.”
“But when I saw it, it looked like we would be dating soon. So I thought it was my last chance and pressed for it, oppa.”
“I see.”

It was only then that I understood that Siyeon had been waiting for me with juice.
She was in a bit of a hurry.

The way she was wearing her headlock must have seemed friendly, and I was sure that she would have noticed that I had taken off her outerwear to Yoon-kyung.

To a man she does not like, a woman will never allow such pranks or wear his robe.

However, I had no intention of meeting Yoon-kyung or Si-yeon that way right now.
Because you have to study.

With that thought in mind, as she walked, she spoke to her next to her.

“Siyeon-ah, but oppa, I don’t want to meet a woman like that right now. Whoever it is.”
“Hmm…”

Siyeon seemed to be a bit troubled by my words.
And I said

“I’m the type who can’t date and study at the same time, so I’m not planning to have a girlfriend until the exam.”
“Until the test?”
“Writing for national office. April next year.”
“Ah~. Oppa is working really hard too~.”

In the end, I told Si-yeon, who was rushing at me, that neither she nor Yun-gyeong, whom she had seen, had any intention of dating at the moment.

Before we knew it, the walking course we had set up was almost finished.

After coming back down the uphill road where the road in the middle of the gosichon continued gently, and after taking a walk, I thought about going home.

“Siyeon-ah, then I’ll leave. See you next time I go to buy rice balls.”

After saying that, I laughed and lightly tapped Siyeon’s arm.

However, Siyeon did not return home right away.
Even though I said goodbye, Siyeon did not receive the greeting and just stood there.

And then she spoke to me

“Brother. I’m not that conservative.”
“Hmm?”

I hesitated for a moment before going to Siyeon’s words, and then Siyeon continued talking to me.

“I won’t ask you to go out. Can I stay with you tonight?”

Demonstration has given me a bit of a detour to tell the story in one beat.

She seemed pretty hot to me.
Otherwise, there was no way I would have come this far after pushing away a few times.

I had to think of her along with her continuous dash.
As she suggested, he sleeps with Siyeon. Or don’t sleep with Siyeon. Among them.

Her demonstration looked at me with one side sweep of her own hair.

I pondered for a while.

The end of the walking course was down the street again.
At the three-way intersection located next to a restaurant, Siyeon and I stood facing each other for a while.

People still passed us now and then, and we could see a lot of people walking in and out of the lit stores, especially the bars and discount markets.

I needed some time to think.

“Um~.”

And after a while, I finally made a decision.
