Chapter 96 – Dating (4)
After filling the inside with simple types of rice, enjoy the quiet atmosphere while sipping a highball with snacks.
Jeong Ha-yeon clinked her glasses again and again to see if she liked this unique horn bar.
When they were moderately drunk, the two of them left the store and walked down 1st Avenue. A cool night breeze brushed his cheeks, cooling his flushed face his.
While walking like that, a large doll caught Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes. A gray cat doll with ferocious eyes and a crooked smile. It was a shooting game product in an arcade.
“Ha Yeon-ah, how about that?”
“Yes? Cat doll? It looks cute.”
“Shall I ride?”
“Now? I’ve been drinking, can I?”
“Then. Even when I was like this, I was a top marksman.”
In fact, I’ve never had a full blown match. It’s been a while since I’ve been discharged in this life, but it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve actually shot live during my active duty. He honestly couldn’t even remember how many shots he had hit.
However, the pride of a common man was triggered. The desire to obsess over trivial things and to look good in front of women, especially girlfriends.
“Just wait. I’ll get it right away.”
It was bluffing in a playful tone, but it wasn’t groundless confidence. Seo Joo-hwan paid and put his gun on his shoulder his. And he chanted an incantation.
‘Five minutes of concentration blessing.’
[Use 50LP to use 『Blessing of Concentration』.]
[Concentration and thinking ability increase for 5 minutes.]
He had a cheat. Not even one.
【Multitasking: Multitasking】
▶ Effect: Consciousness is differentiated into a form suitable for multitasking. You can do many things at the same time.
※ Applicable only when playing games.
Game talent special ability. Arcade shooting was also judged as a game, and the effect was fully applied.
Seo Joo-hwan closed one eye and stared at his target.
He expands his field of vision, just like when he used Baktu’s special ability. The target moving left and right was clearly visible. He took a deep breath, held his breath, and pulled the trigger.
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
Tung!
The blunt sound of a gun in a game room.
The 10-point target with the lowest score was passed. I don’t know what shooting has to do with sex, but luckily the aiming point was right from the first shot. Seizing his senses his, Seo Joo-hwan quickly pulled the trigger. If he takes too long, he can’t peak because of the time limit.
Tung! Tung! Tung! Tung!
The targets with the highest scores were passed in turn. After moving to the target with the lowest score, the target was set once again.
This time, up and down movement was added to the target, which had been moving left and right.
But the speed at which he pulled the trigger was still there. A series of gunshots sounded, and all the targets went over again.
Jiing-
The last target has come up.
Four small, invisible targets moved erratically with the addition of diagonal movement.
Tung! Tung! Tung!
One target left alone after three gunshots. And there was only one shot left.
The president of the game room, who was watching the scene, looked at the gun in Seo Ju-hwan’s hand with a nervous feeling.
‘I must have put in one less shot, right? Could it be that they put everything in?’
Seo Joo-hwan didn’t know, but in fact, in shooting games, there were a lot of jokes. It is a maneuver such as setting a bullet in the middle so that it does not go out, or making sure that the last target does not go over. If a customer who felt strange said that the bullets did not go out, there was also a vicious method of making a fool of the customer by showing a demonstration and saying, ‘It goes well?’
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
A notification of blessings that rings continuously.
Seo Joo-hwan’s index finger pulled the trigger.
Tung!
The bullet fired normally,
Pak!
The last target was passed neatly.
*
Seo Joo-hwan received a giant cat doll from the crying president. And I looked around him to find Jeong Ha-yeon. I couldn’t see him, probably because he went to the bathroom.
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
Just then, Jeong Ha-yeon’s voice came from the other side.
“I have a boyfriend.”
Seo Joo-hwan’s head returned with a momentum that seemed to be about to break.
*
How many times has it already been today? Jeong Ha-yeon became annoyed at the strangely continued hunting. She had been asked for her number quite a few times in her life, but today it was particularly frequent. No matter how much they decorate it, it’s not like they came to a hunting bar or a club, so four times a day is a bit harsh.
“No. I’m sorry.”
Naturally, irritation came out at the end of the sentence. The blond man seemed a little taken aback, then spoke again.
“It’s not about what to do right away, but if we meet once… If it’s burdensome, I’ll give you my number.”
What kind of confidence do you have to call me because I will give you a number?
“I have a boyfriend.”
Jeong Ha-yeon said in a firm tone, as if stabbed with a knife she would not come in. She even raised her finger and pointed to the place where Seo Joo-hwan was. It means that your boyfriend is right next to you.
‘Just go.’
Even after doing this, I had the thought of pouring out curses that had already risen up my throat if I pushed further. Recently, she had been acting out of character in front of Seo Joo-hwan, but that didn’t apply to other people.
“Ah… Sorry. Have a good time.”
Contrary to his rather arch-like appearance his, the blond man politely bowed his head and left. On the contrary, he felt sorry for giving him too much face.
However, Jung Ha-yeon soon came to think that her cold tone was fortunate.
“Ha Yeon-ah….”
Seo Joo-hwan stood with a stiff face holding a large cat doll.
It seemed that he had seen the whole situation a little while ago.
*
The two left 1st Avenue and moved to their room. It was a turbulent, feeble step.
Jeong Ha-yeon glanced up at her side of her. She has an expressionless face, as if lost in thought. She had this face ever since she left the shooting range. She grumbled inwardly at the thoughtlessness of him walking without a word.
‘It’s not even my fault.’
It was unfair. Didn’t she deliberately flirt with men to flirt with her? She said yes, she said out loud and she couldn’t even grumble. Because Seo Joo-hwan didn’t say anything to her.
‘I’d rather say something, even if it makes me feel better.’
Then we would have a conversation, but Seo Joo-hwan just stays silent without saying anything. No, when I apologized, they told me not to apologize, saying what was wrong with you.
“Ha.”
Jeong Ha-yeon let out a small sigh.
Thinking rationally, Seo Ju-hwan was right. Obviously she wasn’t wrong.
However, where is love only done with cold-hearted reason?
Dating was to exchange emotions in such a way as to grumble over trivial and childish things, to be emotional, to fight and then reconcile again.
However, Seo Joo-hwan, who has lived a solo life for over 30 years, was rational in a useless way. He wasn’t even perfect, so the mask he wore to hide it as if nothing was wrong was very hard.
In fact, this problem could have been easily solved if at least one of the two was good at dating. However, the problem was that Jeong Ha-yeon was just as clumsy as Seo Joo-hwan.
She was frustrated because she didn’t know how to relieve her boyfriend’s feelings of being upset.
In the end, it was Jung Ha-yeon who could not stand her silence and spoke first.
“Juhwan-ah, I’ll carry a few. Why take it all by yourself?”
Currently, Seo Joo-hwan was wearing a giant cat doll on his side of him and holding a shopping bag in both his hands. Jeong Ha-yeon said that she would definitely go with her, but he repeated the same thing.
“It’s okay. It’s not heavy.”
And again silence.
‘Going crazy.’
In fact, at first, I was happy to be jealous. But that was only once or twice, and it was crazy to see it repeated so many times in a short period of time. All she could say was that she felt sorry for herself.
Tuck, Tuck.
Even if you walk slowly, you will reach your destination. Before she knew it, she arrived in front of her room her.
“Here, take this.”
Seo Joo-hwan held out a doll and a shopping bag. Jung Ha-yeon looked at him for a moment and opened her mouth before she made a small noise.
“… Would you like some coffee?”
Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes widened. In case the appearance of her misunderstood, she quickly added her words of her.
“Nothing else, just coffee!”
*
“Isn’t the room a bit dreary? I don’t like messy things.”
Jeong Ha-yeon smiled awkwardly and said. As she said, the room was very monotonous. Most of the space in the small room was occupied by a bed and wardrobe, and there were no common ornaments or dressing tables to be seen.
‘It’s different from what I thought.’
I thought the women’s room would have a more pink atmosphere and lots of stuffed animals. However, I thought this was just like Jeong Ha-yeon.
“Put things aside in moderation. I’ll make you coffee.”
She followed her words and put the shopping bag down in the corner of her room. The gigantic cat with a mean smile was suitably thrown on the bed.
Seo Joo-hwan, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Jeong Ha-yeon from the back with a slightly blank gaze and recalled what happened at the game room.
‘Why did the blessings keep ringing?’
At first, I thought it was luck in the shooting game. However, after the game, he saw the man approaching Jeong Ha-yeon and realized that was not the case.
Today, the lucky message of blessing appeared when men approached Jeong Ha-yeon.
‘Why is that lucky?’
The first time a man approached me, I thought so. This is because Jeong Ha-yeon herself hit the iron wall so resolutely, and even to herself, she was very pretty today.
Second, I was angry. His fist clenched when he saw the man asking for his number as if he were invisible even though he was standing next to him.
When I watched the third episode at the cinema, I couldn’t hide my uncomfortable feeling. That made Jung Ha-yeon care. However, she brushed off her bad mood over a drink at the Sami Pavilion. How good it felt when the boss said that he looked good.
Last. In the shooting game field, the anger rose to the top. However, she rather cooled down after seeing Jung Ha-yeon cope. And I had a question. Why does the blessing notification keep blinking?
As she walked, lost in thought, she arrived at Jeong Ha-yeon’s house, and was already in her room.
‘I was just going to go,’ she said.
I had work yesterday, so I tried to have a little more time. But surprisingly, she was invited first by Jeong Ha-yeon.
‘I guess it was because of this.’
It wasn’t until she entered the room that she knew the intention of the blessing. If she had gone on a passable date and had broken up on a good note, she wouldn’t have come into the room like she does now. It was a situation that was rejected for being too fast just the day before.
Seo Joo-hwan got up from his seat and slowly approached Jeong Ha-yeon. Then he gently hugged her from behind as she was just opening her coffee stick to her.
“… Joo Hwan?”
“Sorry. It made me worry.”
How did you see your thoughtful appearance? She must have been thinking a lot. That’s why she must have grabbed him and brought him into the room.
Jeong Ha-yeon put down her coffee stick and gently placed her hand on the arm around her.
“… Are you offended?”
“I wasn’t angry at first.”
“Lie. You didn’t say a word the whole time.”
Jeong Ha-yeon grumbled in a hoarse voice. But a small smile appeared on her lips. The idiot kept bothering me….
“Really. I’m not mad at you just…”
“Just?”
Seo Joo-hwan mumbled his mouth. His physical age His is twenty-three, but he is actually thirty-three. Having passed 30 without a single dating experience, it was difficult to put unfamiliar words into his mouth his. He could have done as many compliments as he liked.
Still, I have to say something. Seo Joo-hwan spoke in a small voice as if crawling in.
“I was just a little jealous… Yes, I was jealous.”
“…….”
“Because Hayeonie you are so pretty. Even today, four people have been twisted. That’s why I’m jealous, I wonder if I’m lacking, and…”
Seo Joo-hwan thought it was fortunate that Jeong Ha-yeon was looking ahead. It was more embarrassing than I thought to speak the thoughts that were vaguely stored in him. He spoke with a frown on his face.
“… I wonder what would happen if I lost it.”
It was a thought I had never had in my life. Although he obviously changed a lot through the system, the timid man before returning came out.
Jeong Ha-yeon, who had been silent for a while, grabbed his arm her and released it. She turned around and glared at him with her flushed face.
“This idiot… I was worried and fell asleep.”
“Haha. Sorry.”
“Do not laugh. Because it’s annoying.”
“… Shall we cry then?”
“Not funny. Have some coffee.”
“Yes.”
“And…”
She added little.
“… Go to sleep today.”
