Chapter 95 – Dating (3)
He revealed that he was writing to Jeong Ha-yeon.
Even before his return his, it was very rare for him to reveal his profession his to anyone outside of his family his. There weren’t many situations like that in the first place, and it was because the job itself as a web novelist was so minor.
Why did you reveal it though?
‘It’s probably better than worrying about being extravagant.’
I never would have thought that I was luxuriating with my parents’ money. I didn’t say that outright, but the meaning was conveyed enough.
“You wrote this yourself, Juhwan?”
Jung Ha-yeon asked with a surprised face, then put her head on her smartphone and was looking at the novel he had written.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at it with a slightly embarrassed feeling. A person who is not even an editor is reading his novel in front of his eyes.
However, what Jung Ha-yeon said after looking at the latest episode for a while was spectacle.
“Uh… Joo-hwan, by any chance you write… Is it nonsense?”
“What?”
“Eh, of course, even if it’s vulgar, I don’t care.”
“… Can you give me the phone for a second?”
Seo Joo-hwan hurriedly took Jung Ha-yeon’s phone. It’s wild talk. Surely all previous works have been taken down? If it was, he didn’t even reveal it on this occasion.
“Ah.”
He could understand Jeong Ha-yeon’s question right away. The problem was the comments, not the content of the novel.
(Comment 134)
– Seolhee is a bitch.
└ ㄹㅇ Jeongsil is Seolhee
└ This is the right helmsman
– Seol Hee-dan, Evande, Jeong-sil is your teacher, lolicon bastards
└ Ah haha The master who gave me my body, mind, and martial arts is a true concubine
└ What kind of cronyism is a ghost? Are you going to fuck into the air you gave me?
└ When you see this development, can’t you see that Mr. Black’s body is still alive?
└ Yes, at least a 60-year-old grandmother
└ I became a ghost in my late twenties, so I don’t know why I’m the same age
└ Why is that obvious?
– I don’t know what to do.
└ Where does poison rub?
└ Originally, it has to be spicy to get hot. Come see the Yas scene again.
└ On the subject of a third-class affair (this comment has already been reported.)
Spicy comments openly called Yas, and were reported.
Seo Joo-hwan noticed Jeong Ha-yeon while reading the comments and shook her head vigorously.
“It’s not nonsense. Martial arts, martial arts novels.”
“Is martial arts like a Chinese movie?”
“Ugh. To put it simply, it is about martial arts masters fighting each other.”
『The Master of Possession: Murim’s Achievement』, Which is being published serially, was a story-oriented, desperate story.
But why are these comments posted?
It was because the habit of writing nonsense in the previous life remained and gave strength to the female character. And the big thing was that the 19-karat gold extravaganza, which was uploaded only once for the service side, gave strength to the catapult.
Jeong Ha-yeon, who was listening to her story her, trembled as to what she was thinking. Seo Joo-hwan had a hunch. I plan to make fun of that. If you don’t explain properly here, you may be teased for a while!
Jeong Ha-yeon asks with her mischievous smile.
“Huh. Can you tell me more about what you’re talking about?”
“That, then. I’ll explain everything.”
Seo Joo-hwan told Jung Ha-yeon about the novel. He personally wrote and enjoyed writing novels, but he did not want to be perceived as a novelist by his girlfriend. He apologized from the bottom of his heart to narrators across the country.
It’s a story that started as an excuse, but the atmosphere of the two people talking was the best after the date started.
Novel was a field that Seo Ju-hwan was interested in as much as he had taken it as a job from his previous life, and was a companion who had been with him as a hobby all his life his. However, when he started talking about the novel he wrote to someone close to him, he was delighted and could not stop talking.
On the other hand, Jeong Ha-yeon was interested in the unexpected side of Seo Joo-hwan. She seemed to be shy, but before she knew it, she was talking excitedly with her eyes twinkling. There were times when Seo Joo-hwan felt like an old man for his age, but now he has a more childlike side.
He said, ‘Even when he went to empty, he was often alone looking at his phone.’
He must have been reading a web novel. He guessed he liked it, but he didn’t know he was writing it himself.
It’s a novel written by my boyfriend. Seeing them happily talking, I’m interested in a web novel I’ve never seen in my life.
“Shall I take a look?”
“What did I write?”
“Yes. I tend to like books.”
“Didn’t you say you never saw it before?”
“It’s a web novel. I read a lot of detective novels and horror novels. I also like comic books.”
“Really? I had no idea.”
“Because I never said anything. I quite like reading books.”
In fact, Jeong Ha-yeon lived with books for a while. When she quit judo, she had no one to talk to. At the time, books were her only escape her.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Jung Ha-yeon with her strange eyes on her.
‘I’m surprised he likes books.’
Even though she only dated for a week. The two still knew a lot about each other. It was only natural that it had been less than a month before dating.
Seo Joo-hwan awkwardly scratched the corners of her eyes and nodded. It’s also funny that she tells me not to come and watch it when she already told me the title. She just thought that it was a relief that she had given off the 19 gold piece in advance.
“Anyway, now you know?”
“What?”
“It’s the money I earned myself. It’s a little hard to say with my mouth, but I’m a pretty good writer.”
In fact, it’s not quite, but if you look at the sales of “Master of Possession”, It was already at the top of the industry. Of course, sales were inflated due to the speed of serialization, so it fell short of the top tier in terms of the number of purchases per episode.
Jeong Ha-yeon nodded her head politely. Still, it was reassuring that Seo Joo-hwan was not spending the money her parents earned her as if it were her own her. I was worried because I thought of immature people in high school, but it seems that it was simply an illusion.
“Still, throw away the mindset that a man has to buy it. Don’t try to spend too much money on me.”
It wasn’t just because the amount was burdensome. When I was at home, I saw things that were more expensive than the clothes or cosmetics Seo Joo-hwan bought. She just didn’t like a one-sided relationship.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head politely.
“It’s because this is our first date. So, Ha-yeon, don’t ask for a refund now either.”
“… I’ll write well. Thank you.”

The clothes Seo-ra Yoon coordinated with her hands her really suited Ha-yeon Jeong.
Jeans first. It’s different from the baggy jeans I was wearing. The new pair of light blue jeans was drastically reduced, highlighting Jeong Ha-yeon’s long legs on her.
The top was styled by layering a plain white T-shirt with a light green knitted vest. Finish it off with a thin silver necklace. The round decorations with grooves are attached, so the casual yet sophisticated image is revived.
“I put it on, how is it?”
“Matches well.”
Seo Joo-hwan said with a hearty smile. When she applied lipstick that matched her skin tone her, her beautiful appearance her even without makeup came to life. When he walked down the street together, he would look at Jeong Ha-yeon at least once, regardless of gender.
Seo Joo-hwan was happy at first. A pretty girlfriend inevitably made a man’s heart flutter. I heard someone with a wide range compare him and Jung Ha-yeon and say things like women are a waste, but I just assumed that was the case. Even if he thought it was true.
But after half of the day had passed, his impression of him was finally crumpled.
Holding popcorn, Seo Joo-hwan quickly blocked Jung Ha-yeon with a stiff face. And he asked the man.
“What are you doing?”
“Yes? Oh, that’s…”
“Ha Yeon-ah, do you know someone?”
“No. I don’t know.”
Jeong Ha-yeon frowned and replied. When Seo Joo-hwan looked back at the man, he lowered his head slightly and walked away. A low clicking sound could be heard from the man behind him.
Seo Joo-hwan sighed.
“Ha. What number is it?”
It was already the third. Once, when he went to the bathroom for a while before leaving the cafe. A guy walking down the street and recklessly pushing him even though he was next to him. And now, one between buying popcorn at the cinema. No matter how pretty a woman is, it’s a way for men to be seduced, but it was strangely frequent.
‘Why does the blessing notification pop up?’
It was strange that the 『Dream Demon’s Blessing』, Which ended the period today, sounded. It’s not luck, it’s just an annoying situation.
“Sorry….”
Jung Ha-yeon looked at her and apologized. Even if she was herself, if she continued to see a woman approaching Seo Joo-hwan right in front of her eyes, she would get annoyed.
Seo Joo-hwan shook his head in embarrassment.
“Hayeon, why are you sorry? It’s not your fault.”
“Still.”
“It’s okay. Let’s see a movie.”
It was not something to be angry with Jeong Ha-yeon. She didn’t get hit because she wanted to get hit on her. Rather, Jung Ha-yeon hit the iron wall at the approaching man and pushed him away.
Still, she couldn’t help but feel bad. Even if it was once, it was repeated three times, and it got annoying. Especially when he saw the guy who openly asked for his number of her even though he was next to him, his fists her naturally tightened.
Thanks to this, Seo Joo-hwan could not see the contents of the movie at all. He looked far ahead and recalled his item.
‘It would be nice if there were some items related to appearance.’
Then at least you won’t hear the voices saying that women aren’t worth it. I didn’t care about it at all, but now it bothers me.
‘What should I do with the skin first with the bath powder?’
His skin his wasn’t invisible, but there were scars from acne in his adolescence. He’ll be a little better if it’s just his skin.
It was a time when I was lost in thoughts like that.
Jeong Ha-yeon, who was next to her, crossed her hands to her. When she flinched, I turned to her side and saw her apologetic look at her in her eyes. Her inadvertent display of annoyance on her expression seemed to have bothered her.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled saying it was okay and held his hand. She felt a sense of comfort in her own way.

The movie is over. The sun had already fallen outside and it was dark. A cool night breeze blow.
Seo Joo-hwan led Jung Ha-yeon by the hand and entered a store called Sami-gwan.
Sami-gwan was an tavern run by the male owner alone, but unusually, it was a restaurant that only accepted up to one accompanying person with the concept of drinking together. The concept was so solid that from 3 people onwards, it was nice to come alone. Because of this, I used to come often before returning.
‘Although I stopped walking right away.’
When she saw that business was not going well in the store, she stopped walking because she wondered if it was because of her. And after a while, seeing the shop become famous, he said he fell into a sense of shame. Now that I think about it, it was just because it was located in a remote place and before it went viral.
Jeong Ha-yeon, who sat in her seat her, looked around the store curiously.
“The atmosphere here is unique.”
“Are you fine?”
“Yes. Does it feel like a hidden restaurant?”
Sami Hall is a small shop, so it has a cute and quiet atmosphere. The vintage-looking exterior and interior give it a strange yet special feel.
Seo Joo-hwan lowered his voice as he pointed to the phrase on the wall.
“This place is small inside, and most people come alone, so you shouldn’t be loud. Can you see Sticking to you to talk quietly.”
“That’s right. Very unique Are you suddenly craving for alcohol?”
“They say the highball here is delicious. Snacks are fine too. The price is reasonable, so if it gets word of mouth, it will be a big hit right away, right?”
“Have you been here many times?”
“Not many, but a few times.”
Even in this lifetime, she had visited Anyang after moving to Anyang. When he familiarly chose the menu and ordered, he pretended to know the boss.
“You came with a woman today. You must be my girlfriend.”
“Does it look like that?”
“Is it not it? I thought it was natural because it looked good.”
The young boss, who seemed to be in his mid-thirties, was quick-witted and gave good lip service. Seo Joo-hwan could not hide his smile and nodded his head.
“That’s right, girlfriend. Isn’t it pretty?”
“Hey… What’s the matter.”
Jeong Ha-yeon patted her on the back of her hand, telling her not to do it.
The president smiled as he recalled the days when they were fresh college students.
“Your girlfriend is very pretty. She knew for a moment that she was a celebrity. You two really get along.”
“Go, thank you….”
“Haha.”
Jung Ha-yeon greeted her with a blushing face, and Seo Ju-hwan just smiled pleasantly. Just one word saying that they look good together seemed to relieve their sensitive nerves.
