Chapter 7 – Leaving the Upper Water Area
Status window popped up suddenly.
〈 Jeong So-ra 〉
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Height: 165cm
Weight: 54kg
Likeability: B
Current sexual desire: C+
Fetish: Fat Admirer (bottom), ? (Middle)
“Ugh!”
I was so surprised that I breathed in vain.
“What’s the matter?”
“Where are you sick?”
Jung So-ra looks at her with puzzled eyes and Lee Jung-hoon is worried.
“Oh, nothing. I’ll go in to sort things out first.”
Seo Joo-hwan left the two behind and avoided the seat. I needed to go to a quiet place to organize my thoughts.
He moved to the smoking area and took a deep sip of his cigarette.
‘I never thought I’d see someone else’s status window.’
Besides, Jung So-ra’s status window was quite different from her own. She had items such as liking, sexual desire, and fetish that he did not see.
‘They said it was a dream demon….’
Like skills and blessings, even the status window lives up to its name. Really… It was desirable I thought that if this was the case, it might not be difficult for even a single person to flirt with a woman. Even so, Jeong So-ra was still like a high mountain.
However, there was a question, why did Jeong So-ra’s status window pop up out of the blue?
‘Is it only the woman’s status window that comes to mind?’
Maybe. Because the biggest difference between Jung So-ra and other people is gender. But I wonder why it didn’t open before and now it does.
‘Looks like there’s some condition.’
There will be no contact If that’s the case, she must have woken up when Jung So-ra put her patch on or when she caught her falling earlier. If so, what is different from before?
As she thought about it, one thing came to her mind.
“A paper cup?”
Apparently, her status window popped up when she brought the paper cup to her mouth. That was the only singularity of that moment.
‘Could it have been activated by saliva?’
I wasn’t sure, but it seemed like a high probability. If you guessed it, it was a fairly difficult condition.
‘That’s not what’s important right now.’
There is no one else to experiment with right now anyway. I decided to think about the conditions for activating the status window. The current priority was Jung So-ra’s liking, sexual desire, and fetish that appeared on the status window.
‘Likeability B, sexual desire C+, lower level of Fat Admirer?’
I know the likability and sexual desire. By the way, the Fat Admirer marked in the fetish section… Could it be the literal meaning?
“A fan of obesity, what is this…….”
I was curious about other fetishes marked with ?, Like errors.

Is it because it’s the day after training?
Officers did not touch the soldiers. Thanks to that, I was able to rest comfortably in the dormitory for today.
[Ah, the command and control room will inform you. Today’s sleepover, please come to the command and control room right away. Once again… ]
As lunchtime approached, the broadcast looking for sleepers rang.
Seo Joo-hwan greeted Lee Jung-hoon, who was next to him, and left the dormitory.
“Brother. I’ll go and see.”
“Uh. Oh, don’t forget to buy cheap cigarettes!”
“Yep.”
He gave a rough answer and headed for the first floor.
It was time to go out.
***
There were five people, including Seo Joo-hwan, going out overnight. They received formal training in the command and control room and out of the guardhouse. As soon as I came out, the soldiers made a fuss.
“As expected, it is different outside the guardhouse! It’s only one door, but it’s so different!”
“That’s right. Hueup. Is this the air of society?”
It was the private first class and the second class that were particularly noisy. On the other hand, the sergeants and sergeants were accustomed to unlocking their cell phones and calling a taxi. Then, a sergeant met his eyes and started talking to him.
“Mr. Jo Hwan. Did you come out alone?”
“Yes. It looks like Min-gu came out with the same company members?”
“Haha. Right. They’re all guys from the same platoon. By the way, if you take a taxi alone, you will get a lot of money. Would you like to ride with me?”
To go downtown, you have to call a taxi, but taking it alone costs over 10,000 won. That’s why people who usually stay out together would take a taxi together.
But wouldn’t it be enough for four people to ride in one car? It seemed like he was caring.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and shook his head.
“Thank you, but it’s okay. Ride with your successors.”
“It’s okay? It must be a lot of money….”
‘He’s a very nice person.’
Even though we weren’t very close, he looked like a good person when I saw that he took care of me. If he had been in the same company, he would have been friendly.
But today was really good.
“Juhwan-ah, did you wait long?”
“Steel. No. It just came out.”
Because Jung So-ra decided to burn it.
“Let’s go. Get on.”
“Yep. Min-gu, I will go first.”
“Ah, yes….”
The four soldiers were stunned to see Jeong So-ra in plain clothes.
“Is the 4th company commander that pretty?”
“I knew it was pretty, but….”
“Wow….”
The car started leaving them behind.
*
Seo Joo-hwan only glanced at the side with his eyes moving.
‘Wow. It’s breathtakingly beautiful.’
I thought he was beautiful even when he was bare, but seeing him in makeup made me believe he was an actor. Was Jung So-ra now twenty-seven? Now that this year is over, I will soon be twenty-eight.
‘How come that face is in its late twenties.’
It is common for professional soldiers to look older than their age, but Jeong So-ra looked to be in her mid-twenties at most.
Seo Joo-hwan opened Jeong So-ra’s status window while admiring it inwardly.
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Height: 165cm
Weight: 54kg
Likeability: B
Current sexual desire: B
Fetish: Fat Admirer (bottom), ? (Middle)
Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes widened as he checked his status window. Could it be because the effect of pheromones worked on her in an enclosed space? Surprisingly, Jung So-ra’s sexual desire was one step higher than yesterday.
“Joohwan?”
“Yes? Yes!”
Seo Joo-hwan was awakened from her thoughts by the sound of her voice her calling her name her. I turned to her side and saw that she was looking at me with her puzzled eyes. He quickly changed the subject.
“That, Sergeant Major. Are you going somewhere important today?”
“Uh? Why is that all of a sudden?”
Jeong So-ra answered with a visibly flustered voice to the out-of-the-box question. Maybe it’s because she came out of the base, but her voice is more feminine than usual. Somehow, the tone seemed to soften.
“It’s like I’ve never seen it before. You are very pretty today. I will believe you even if you are an actor.”
“Ahaha. Praise is too much. Thank you though.”
He didn’t deny it too much, as if he knew very well that he was pretty. He didn’t seem to want to tell me where he was going after all.
‘Even if I don’t tell you, I know.’
Jeong So-ra is going on a blind date today. I don’t know if it’s a blind date. He picked up rumors in his previous life of his, so he it might be a lover.
Anyway, the important thing was that she was going to meet a guy somewhere today, and the result wasn’t very good. According to rumors, Jeong So-ra was dumped by a man today.
Seo Joo-hwan was thinking of attacking that gap. Why, didn’t it be said that a person who has been cheated on has an open mind? I don’t know if it’s actually true, but it was something to try.
“Juhwan-ah, where can I get off?”
“Ah. Turn right at the intersection, go straight and drop off in front of the mart.”
“Love Mart?”
“Yes. You’re right.”
“Okay. We’ll be there in five minutes.”
“Yep.”
After that, the conversation ended. Seo Joo-hwan wondered if there was anything more to talk about. But he had nothing on his mind. He should have been talking to a girl somewhere. He was a hikikomori who hadn’t talked much with people of the same sex, let alone women, except for work.
Then Sora Jeong glanced at him and she said.
“Joo Hwan. I have something to ask you.”
“Ah, yes. You can ask anything.”
“What perfume do you use?”
“Yes? Did you not hear me?”
“Ugh. I was wondering where you use the perfume. Did you bring it from your last vacation? It smells so good.”
A slight blush appeared on Jung So-ra’s face as she said that. For some reason, I felt a little out of breath.
Sure enough, when I checked her status window her, her likability and sexual desire her had gone up to B+. The effect of the pheromone skill was greater than I thought.
“I don’t have a specific perfume, but….”
“Uh? Really?”
“Yes.”
“So, did you change your body lotion or shampoo recently?”
“I’m just writing what I used to write.”
“It’s strange…. Originally, it didn’t smell like this.”
Jeong So-ra tilted her head as if she really didn’t understand. Even in the meantime, the twitching of the back of her nose is the appearance of smelling her scent of her.
‘There is no such thing as a dog. Is the pheromone scent that strong? I’m not sure.’
I put it on his forearm her and sniffed it, but I didn’t notice much of a difference, perhaps because it was my own body type.
She reached her destination after about 5 minutes. Jeong So-ra, who stopped the car, spoke as if asking Seo Ju-hwan.
“Since you’re a sergeant, you know without saying anything, right? You can’t get into an accident.”
“Yes. You don’t have to worry.”
“Okay. Then have a good night out.”
“Yep. Have a nice weekend, Commander. Steel.”
“Then I’ll go.”
The car moved away in an instant. Before she left, Jeong So-ra’s face was a little bit hot, but she was still hot. She was like this, and she was secretly worried that the bastard who did n’t even know her face was doing only good things.
When Seo Joo-hwan couldn’t see Jeong So-ra’s car, he quickly took a taxi.
‘I can’t give it to a dog by making porridge.’
He said in a determined voice as he got into the taxi.
“Mister, please go to Yeongyang County.”
“Ew? Antelope?”
“Yes!”
“It’s not a place you normally go to, so the extra charge is a bit high….”
“Ugh.”
I was troubled for a moment. If you take a taxi from Uljin to Yeongyang-gun, the money will break considerably. If there was an additional charge, it would cost 100,000 won.
That’s why you can’t not ride it, it takes six hours at the fastest if you use other routes with Uljin’s beggarly transportation. On the other hand, if you take a taxi, two hours is enough.
“Shit. Please go anyway.”
It seemed like the money was going to break.
*
Upon arriving in Yeongyang-gun, Seo Ju-hwan first stopped by his clothing store and then took a lodging. He reported that during the battalion, he was properly accommodated in a motel in the town of Uljin-gun. He wouldn’t know that he jumped (a slang word for escaping the Wei-su area) because he wasn’t coming to inspect himself.
By hiding her hair with a hat and wearing casual clothes, she looked like a civilian.
“Ugh. How much did you spend?”
The taxi fare alone came out to about 100,000 won. When I bought clothes here and calculated the accommodation fee, I already broke more than 200,000 won. It was fortunate that I borrowed a coat from Lee Jung-hoon. If he even bought the coat, he would have cost at least 50,000 won more.
“… But now what?”
There is nothing to be done. I had already bought clothes for lunch and ate, and when I left the dorm, I was worried about what would happen if I met So-ra Jeong or another executive too early.
Of course, the probability of that is low, but I wanted to be careful even in one case.
I’m so blankly rolling on the bed,
– Giying.
An unexpected phone call came. The sender is Seo Joo-hee. She was his sister
Seo Ju-hwan quickly picked up the phone with a thought of oops. He completely forgot, thinking that he would call right away after training.
When he answered the phone, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
– Uh? What? Why is my brother answering the phone?
It’s a much younger and lively voice than the one I remember. It was clear that I had come back after 10 years.
Seo Joo-hwan replied in a laughing voice.
“I get it because you bet on me. Then who will take it?”
– No! How did you get my words!
“Well?”
– Hey!
“What’s wrong with a brother who’s four years older?”
– Oh really! Annoying!
When he replies with a joke, an angry voice immediately returns. Her younger sister her, Seo Joo-hee, was a responsive guy who bounced as soon as she was pressed.
Seo Joo-hwan decided to make fun of this and gave the correct answer.
“Kuk-kuk. I went out for a reward night. But why are you calling from this cell phone? You have a receiving phone.”
– I did it for reception first. No one answered, so I called here just in case. But you don’t even call home when you’re out all night? You said you’d call me after training. I can’t believe how worried her mom was!
Is this the gradation anger that we have only heard about? Originally, it was a sharp-tongued tone, but at the end it is screaming. I’m not very angry though. Even though he said it as if he wanted to fight, the truth was that he called because he was worried.
“Did you worry a lot?” – What? I? Funny. I did it because her mom told me to call her.
“Yes. Thank you.”
– … No luck Aren’t you Seo Joo-hwan?
“That’s right, so stop messing around. I can hear everything my mother says next to me. Change mother.”
– Huh. Mom, here’s my brother’s baby, I want to change… Ouch! Ah! Stop hitting me!
The sound of his brother’s back bursting was clearly audible over the phone. Seo Joo-hwan somehow felt happy and giggled.
– Are you Juhwan?
“Yes. Mother. Sorry for not contacting you right away. Were you worried? I was just trying to contact you… “
– He is too. Don’t mind. Maybe if you’re busy Joo-hee is making a fuss for no reason.
At her mother’s words Her, Seo Ju-hwan smiled bitterly. That’s because I knew very well that it wasn’t like that.
At this time, his misfortune had not begun in earnest, but that unfortunate luck had already sprouted since he was young. Parents who raised him for over 20 years, how can they not know about the misfortune? Because of this, whenever his mother told him he was going to start training, she would wait with concern for the call that he had finished the training.
Knowing his mother’s heart His, Seo Ju-hwan spoke in a more courageous voice.
“Mother, I was rewarded for training well this time! That’s why I came out overnight!”
– Oh. Really? Didn’t you get hurt by overdoing it?
“Haha. Whose son am I? No injuries this time. Do not worry.”
– Thank god.
“How is mom these days? Is the business going well?”
In fact, there are still bruises from his body, which he rolled down the mountain before he returned. But he wouldn’t have to tell the truth straight away.
Starting with a white lie, Seo Joo-hwan continued a pleasant conversation with his family, he had been in contact with for a long time. Of course, he also had a father-son conversation with his father, who sneaked up on him.
After such a long conversation, it was time to hang up. He heard a voice he had never expected.
– Brother! Hwan’s brother!
Naturally, there was no way my younger brother would talk to me in such a friendly way. This voice was thought of as more like a younger sister than his younger sister Seo Joo-hee, and it was also a voice that was established as his trauma.
– Uh? Why can’t I hear your voice? Joo-hwan’s brother? Brother, have you hung up? Hee….
It was the voice of a childhood friend who committed suicide before returning.
