Chapter 116 – Dominant Relationships (13)
There are some common sayings about certain things.
‘The beginning of anything is difficult.’
‘The process, not the result, is the important law.’
‘The beginning shines only when the end is good.’
Beginning, course, end.
Law, law, law.
Which one will be the bigger part?
In fact, this may just be a joke. Which of the three is less important?
If the beginning goes wrong, the process is difficult, and if there is a problem in the process, it is difficult to produce good results. On the other hand, even if the beginning and process are good, if the result is bad, the meaning of the preceding line will fade.
In the end, nothing was unimportant.
Shoot ah-
However, at this moment, Seo Ju-hwan thought, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to focus on the ‘end’? It was while watching Jeong Ha-yeon’s reddened eyes.
‘Wouldn’t there be a next one only when the ending is good?’
A clumsy and selfish relationship went through a difficult process as well as a clumsy beginning. The heart of Seo Joo-hwan, entangled in the past, was a button that was wrongly inserted from the beginning, and even a defective item called an item was mixed in and crumpled into a mess.
However, I ran through the rain to tie the knot properly, albeit belatedly. So, after unpacking, patching, and patching, they managed to find their place, so parting as lovers does not mean the end of their relationship.
“Seo Joo-hwan.”
Jeong Ha-yeon wrinkled the bridge of her nose. She was staring at him with reddened eyes.
“Now we are friends again. Got it?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t be awkward at school.”
“Yes.”
“If you avoid it because it’s awkward, I’ll kill you. You have to do it like before you went to empty.”
“Yes.”
“… Are you Yes Man? I can easily understand everything. See….”
Even though I affirmed my words, Jeong Ha-yeon showed a disapproval of what she was dissatisfied with. In her mouth her, where her teeth were dripping, she even showed a slightly unfair expression.
Seo Joo-hwan raised his hand above her head. She flinched at him and tried to step back, but she soon allowed her hand her to stay. It looked like a vigilant cat, and he laughed.
“Puh. I think Hayeon is making you more awkward. We can be friends like before, right?”
There are many cases in which lovers who broke up are worse off than those who are unfamiliar with each other. Breaking up is usually more difficult to achieve after a sufficient conversation… No, even if they part happily, there won’t be many cases where a former lover can go back to being a normal friend.
Jung Ha-yeon put her head in her hands for a moment without saying anything, then raised her gaze. Having said it several times already, she said it without wavering.
“… From tomorrow we can treat you as friends. Don’t do anything like this from tomorrow either.”
“Like this?”
“Patting your hair.”
“Then now?”
“… Shut up.”
Does it mean shut up and stroke it?
Seo Joo-hwan smiled bitterly and stroked her hair gently. I could feel the moisture seeping through her long, flowing hair on her.
Knock, again rock- Again….
The raindrops that had been pouring down like a waterfall gradually thinned out. What used to be like heavy rain during the monsoon season was now called spring rain.
Seo Joo-hwan opened his umbrella and said.
“Ha Yeon-ah, let’s go in. I’ll take you.”
Jeong Ha-yeon, who was worried for a while, nodded her head and went inside Seo Ju-hwan’s open umbrella to her. She, who was close to her, spat out in a croaking voice for no reason.
“… Then only until the crossroads.”
“You can take me home.”
“I hate that.”
What can I do if I don’t like it?
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head, then tilted her umbrella towards her so as not to be seen. Thanks to that, the raindrops fell intact on one of his shoulders her, but it did n’t matter anyway since he was already wet from running around in all directions.
At that time, Lucy, who had been silent, spoke as if wondering.
[Master, Jeong Ha-yeon also has an umbrella. It seems that Lee Seok-chan gave the wrong information. Before her shoulders get wet… ]
Seo Joo-hwan cut off Lucy.
‘Shh. I know that, Lucy.’
[… ] I know, but why are you using one umbrella?]
‘Ugh. Lucy, I guess I need to learn more about emotions.’
[?]
‘Haha. I mean now it’s more efficient. In many ways.’
[There are two, but using only one is efficient. Incomprehensible…….]
It was a voice full of questions, as if he had met a difficult problem.
Seo Joo-hwan laughed at Lucy’s change her because it was funny, and Jeong Ha-yeon, who blushed, stabbed her in the side of her, asking why she was laughing.
“Ugh! Ah, it hurts. Ha Yeon-ah.”
“Because I said I was sick!”
It was so nice to taste her spicy hand her.
*
“Go in with caution.”
“You too, Joo-hwan.”
Jeong Ha-yeon, who broke up with Seo Joo-hwan, returned to her slightly lighter steps. Strangely enough, her body seemed to be in good shape with just one knot being properly tied.
‘Did you know there was an umbrella?’
In Jeong Ha-yeon’s hand her, of course, she had an umbrella. It was the umbrella she had brought with her from the beginning, but she pretended not to know and shared the umbrella with Seo Ju-hwan. It’s a small folding umbrella, but she must have noticed. How nasty was the way she smiled as if she knew exactly what was on her mind her.
But she soon wondered what to do.
Friends again tomorrow.
Sharing an umbrella on the last day would not be such a big luxury. Also, since he only laughed and passed without a word, it must not be his own greed.
That was when I got home.
There was a person looking down into the street from the railing of a self-contained building. Said her oldest friend in a soft voice.
“Are you here?”
“Lee Seok-chan?”
“What about Joo-hwan? Did you meet?”
To that question, Jeong Ha-yeon nodded her head with her awkward face. Come to think of it, Seo Joo-hwan heard Lee Seok-chan’s words and came to see him.
Lee Seok-chan nodded and asked again.
“Did you solve it well?”
“… Uh.”
“I’m glad. I won’t hear you weaving anymore.”
“Hey, can’t you speak nicely?”
“Damn it. A bitch who won’t listen to me even if I tell her nicely.”
Lee Seok-chan spat out abusive language as if he was absurd. If she was the same as usual, she would give her a punch, but Jeong Ha-yeon had a stabbing bar and avoided her gaze.
Not too long ago, when Lee Seok-chan, who was inferior to her, gave her advice to her, she sternly dismissed her, saying not to say unnecessary things. She had already had her submissive effect applied up to 5 stacks.
Jeong Ha-yeon finally recognized her mistake and apologized to Lee Seok-chan.
“I’m sorry about that. It must have been something I thought of…….”
“Ugh. Hey, that’s okay Don’t apologize for giving me goosebumps.”
“… Thank you.”
“Eww. It’s just as creepy. It’s okay, and if you’re thankful, Joo-hwan will talk to him later. When we met earlier, I talked a little bit… Oh Mr.”
Lee Seok-chan scratched his head as if regretting it.
He told Seo Joo-hwan that he didn’t want to get involved in other people’s relationships, but in reality, he had already given Jeong Ha-yeon advice and was rejected.
‘Shouldn’t Joo Hwan have told that guy too? No shit, no love advice for my subject.’
Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue. He’s been in a lot of relationships, but he’s never really been in a serious relationship. I know how to make them feel good and last a long time, but due to my personality, I’ve rarely been around for a long time, so it wasn’t the time to give them dating advice.
In the first place, he hated having a third party interfere with dating. If it wasn’t for Jeong Ha-yeon, she wouldn’t have cared whether she was broken or not.
Lee Seok-chan’s reaction reminded Jeong Ha-yeon of something. She shouted, pointing at her.
“Right, you! Did he scold Joo-hwan for saying that it’s been two hours since I left the house? Your expression completely wrinkled when I said it was 10 minutes?”
“Ugh. Are you very angry?”
“They said they would break it somewhere if they met at school.”
“Fucked…….”
Lee Seok-chan’s face his crumpled as if he had chewed shit.
Jung Ha-yeon saw that expression and laughed.
“Kick-kick. Guraya.”
“… Tenryun like this?”
“Is it true that Pintto went out?”
“Crazy. Oh, he must have been really angry because he was so timid. Should I put a million won in donations for the novel?”
“What? You will be fine.”
“Hey, sorry and thank you. Help me.”
“Kick kick. Call me sister.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Well, I am your sister.”
“Go away. Originally, I was going to do it on my own.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Seok-chan’s expression crumpled at the laughing words. He immediately shook his head and lifted the bottle.
“It’s done. Hey, let’s have a drink My brother bought wine.”
“What are you saying, brother?”
“So you’re not going to drink?”
“Is the wine good?”

Returning home, Seo Joo-hwan took off his wet clothes and filled the bathtub with water. I was embarrassed, so I thought about washing it. Then, the smartphone vibrated.
It was KakaoTalk from Lee Seok-chan.
-Lee Seok-chan: Hey, sorry.
– Me: You’re behind me.
-Lee Seok-chan:haha;;
– Me: Give me three reasons why I should save you.
-Lee Seok-chan: 1. Jeong Ha-yeon informed that she might be in the smoking room.
– Lee Seok-chan: 2. I am a reader of your novels. Are you going to hit the reader?
– Lee Seok-chan: 3. I’m putting a fucking period right now haha.
– Me: Crazy bastardhaha.
– Lee Seok-chan:haha
– Me: I will save you. I was also sorry.
– Lee Seok-chan: Yes, you are wrong, Shibalom.
– Me: ?
– Seokchan Lee: What?
“Quack-quick. Anyway, you bastard.”
Seo Joo-hwan giggled and soaked himself in the bathtub.
At first, he had no feelings for Lee Seok-chan. No, to be honest, I was a little angry at first, but after thinking about it for a while, I understood Lee Seok-chan’s feelings for her, so I quickly got over my anger. After seeing a friend who had been close to him for 8 years cry, he couldn’t have been angry at Lee Seok-chan.
“On the contrary, thank you.”
Thank you for sending me a message first. I was worried about what would happen if I looked awkward at school, but thanks to that, one timid worry disappeared.
After taking a bath, Seo Ju-hwan looked at the bathroom mirror.
“Your skin has improved a lot.”
After consistently using the pheromone bath bomb from the draw, the acne scars on his face almost all disappeared. He said that his impression of him can change even if he has good skin, so he even thought that he was handsome enough.
“Ah, a consolation gift.”
He said that he was handsome, so I remembered the item that was given as a ‘gift to comfort the parting’.
Seo Joo-hwan took out the given item from his inventory. Unusually, this item was in the form of paper. Lucy says it’s a tear-off coupon.
The item description window appeared.
【Facial Probability (B)】
▶ Effect: You become handsome.
※ Maintain the original appearance as much as possible.
※ The causal rate is satisfied.
“It is very simple. But can I just use this?”
I wondered if it would look strange if my appearance suddenly changed a lot.
Lucy told me not to worry.
[Is there a phrase that the causal rate is satisfied? No matter how much your appearance changes, you’ll just think you’re handsome, and there won’t be any particular doubt.]
“Oh, did you mean that? Thank you, Lucy.”
Only then did Seo Ju-hwan safely use the item. He tore the paper without hesitation, and the paper crumbled into light and sawped into his face.
“Oh oh! Wow, what is this?”
Seo Joo-hwan marveled at his own face and his reflected in his mirror. He said that he would keep his original form as much as possible, but even though he didn’t seem to have changed much, his handsomeness his came out at a glance.
Upon closer inspection, the position of the features were finely adjusted. In addition, there were changes such as thicker eyebrows and better facial complexion. The change I liked the most was the adjustment of the eyes, which were slightly more slanted than others. If he had previously looked mean or neurotic, now sharp or charismatic would be more appropriate.
“Kya~.”
Looking in the mirror, I was just amazed. Being handsome is such a feeling. Even the remnants of the melancholic heart that had remained shallow were blown away.
Seo Joo-hwan looked in the mirror and tried to strain his body. Then, while he was away, he tried holding it in various positions, including the posing that he had learned at first glance from Lim Soo-hee. I’ve gained a bit of weight in the past, but when I forced myself to squeeze it, I got the hang of it.
Seo Joo-hwan was infatuated with himself.
“Isn’t this good enough? Not the face, not the body, the pepper is big. I don’t even envy celebrities. Big.”
In fact, compared to celebrities, it was quite inferior, but something to know. He wanted to enjoy this feeling.
Then Lucy called him.
[Master.]
“Yes?”
[Is this the feeling of resentment?]
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan’s face suddenly turned red.
[I’m not sure why I’m ashamed. I hope to teach you.]
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan thought that having feelings for Lucy might not be all that good.
