Chapter 223 – Wouldn’t I Be Angry if I Was Like You!? (4)
The curry house we arrived at after a 30-minute drive had just opened, so there were no customers other than Kim Min-ah and me.
“Delicious!”
“It’s fine.”
I went out to eat with Yoo Seo-yeon and ate quite a few high-end dishes, so I didn’t make a fuss like Kim Min-ah, but the taste was definitely not bad.
Maybe if I hadn’t gotten the succubus system, my hobbies would have been games and food trips instead of games and sex.
Most of the hobbies that a man living alone, not in a relationship, would have had that feeling.
“Ah.. If I had a car, commuting to and from work would be convenient, and it would be nice to eat delicious food here and there.”
“Now that I’m a public servant, can’t I get a loan and buy it? I don’t know about a new car, but if I buy a used one, I might be able to buy it cheaper.”
“I don’t want to take out a loan. I don’t have any money, so it’s a waste to spend money just to be more comfortable.”
While listening to Mina Kim’s answer, I organized her thoughts.
Minah Kim’s family is quite poor. It wasn’t as much as my old house, but when I was young, I heard that the three of us lived together in a small bathroom, a half-kitchen, and a room about the size of a studio.
She said that now she lives in a villa that is at the level of an ordinary family house, but she said that it only happened when Mina Kim graduated from middle school.
Her parents barely saved enough money to move in by working two jobs, so they had little savings left and some loans.
‘Money can certainly be used as a weapon.’
I, too, have lived a poor and hungry life since I was a child, so I am fully aware of how much magic power is contained in one word, money.
She hadn’t yet thought of how to present the conditions, but she had already thought of a way to seduce Kim Min-ah by offering her financial gain, so she was able to convince herself through this conversation.
“Even if you don’t buy it right now, you’ll accumulate money over time. Don’t rush and think slowly.”
“..Is that right?”
He seems to have answered casually, but I glanced over at Mina Kim’s expression at the sound of a faintly melancholic voice that was slightly different from when she was talking about money.
‘Did you see something?’
Unlike the two of them, who do not hide their emotions in front of me, Mina Kim is not good at hiding her emotions, so I could see her mood to some extent just by looking at her expression.
“That’s right. If you’re a civil servant, you don’t have to worry about getting fired, and if you just spend time, your salary will go up.”
“That’s it.. That’s what.”
It’s better for her to scratch and see her reaction than to ask what’s going on.
Again, the response is not cool. She was sometimes told that she was tired from working night shifts, but since she had never raised her complaint about her job other than that, she seemed to have to pull her strands that way.
“How’s the job? Is it worth it?”
“What.. It’s worth doing just that.”
As she answered, she scooped up a spoonful of curry, stuffed it into her mouth, and munched. Unlike before, when she genuinely enjoyed the taste, she seemed to be putting something in her mouth to relieve stress.
‘Isn’t this why it was filmed?’
It was only when her emotions were clearly revealed through her facial expression that if she heard something she didn’t like at work or took on an annoying task, she would immediately crumple her expression and be photographed.
Of course, she was only thinking that it could be so.
‘Should I inquire more closely?’
It would be nice to be able to hypnotize Kim Min-ah, saying, ‘I want to calmly complain because I’m stressed out’.
Judging from her attitude of avoiding the topic at all, it seemed that Mina Kim did not want to open up to me about her dissatisfaction with her work life.
Here, she has a sudden change of heart, and it’s not natural to think about it, forcing her to pour out her heart.
She doesn’t know about hypnosis, and if she doesn’t become a dreamer, even if she notices it, it’ll end up as a minor discomfort, but if she finds out about hypnosis, she’ll be like, ‘Why did I do that?’ It was clear that every little discomfort she felt would become suspicious and hold her back.
‘It would be more comfortable if we went to a drinking party.’
When you drink alcohol, your emotions fluctuate and your self-control falls. At that time, if she honestly hypnotized her, Mina Kim would not feel any discomfort.
But Mina Kim doesn’t like alcohol very much, and she was even more reluctant to drink before they had sex.
The reason was that when she was drunk, it was difficult for her to enjoy vivid pleasure, and she stretched out more quickly than usual.
And, today’s Mina Kim is planning to have sex with me. No, in the first place, she wanted to have sex, so she called because her desires were piled up so much that she couldn’t even make her drink.
Kim Min-ah doesn’t have much time for her hesitation because she’s almost drinking her curry as if she’s stuck.
After this, at Mina Kim’s request that she wanted to see the sea, she decided to go to the nearest Wolmido, and when she came back, she had dinner and went to a motel, or she was just going to go to a motel.
While she was driving, she didn’t want to talk unnecessarily, and even when she went to Wolmido, she was only going to come with a moderate amount of air, so she wouldn’t have time to have a serious conversation.
‘It’s better to check here.’
After all, she’s not going to be much different now or when she goes to dinner.
If that’s the case, it’s better for her to dig up the information now, to match Mina Kim’s mood all day, and then go to the motel and honestly persuade her when she’s in a good mood.
He had plenty of time anyway, so he could come regularly or stay in the area for a few days to see opportunities, but in the end, he would end up having sex every time he met, and the sense of betrayal Kim Min-ah felt when the hypnosis was over would increase, so it wasn’t a good idea.
“It’s worth doing. Isn’t it hard work?
“…”
Once again, Mina Kim’s hand, which was scooping up her curry with all her might, stops. And then, she didn’t even bother to hide her feelings, she glared at her with her displeased eyes, poured a full glass of water into her cup and gulped it down.
“Haa.. So what? I’m working to make money. Of course it’s hard. Is that weird?”
“I work hard, too, so is that weird? Hard work is natural, so there’s no need to forcefully hide it.
She didn’t say that her friends could listen to that much.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t use her relationship as her friend now because she had to be acknowledged by Kim Min-ah that she was her friend once the hypnosis was over.
“Really.. Same as before. How are you so quick to notice?”
“What do you notice? You can’t hide your expression so everything is visible. If you’re not very observant, you’ll notice everything if I talk to you for one minute.”
“..What.”
Is she even aware that she is bad at hiding her expression? She still didn’t deny that she was far away, but as she averted her gaze, she slipped away.
“Well, even civil servants say that the toughest part of the job is difficult.
“…Honestly, I thought I would be able to work comfortably and receive a flat salary just by becoming a civil servant. The work is a bit hectic, I work overtime three or four times a week without being able to get off work, and I can’t earn money more than I thought, so I’m a bit tired.”
Still, she doesn’t say it’s hard until the end, but it’s a little tired.
“Still, I definitely rest on weekends, and like you said, the salary goes up along with Hobong, so it’s much better compared to a decent job. Ji.”
“Um… What…”
I thought she didn’t say it because she was embarrassing when she just said that the job was hard. She had no idea she was thinking like this.
She never thought that the warehouse work itself was difficult, although Yoo Seo-yeon was just annoying and annoyed.
“There’s no such thing. It’s just hard being hard. I still finish work quickly and take a break in broad daylight. The longer the overtime hours, the less time to rest. That must be more difficult.”
“Then what are you doing? It’s not like you can just beat yourself up just because you’re having a hard time. You just have to hold on. If you hold out for a year or two, there will be a personnel transfer, so you should pray for a better position.”
I don’t know how the personnel transfer of civil servants works, but I could tell that Mina Kim was pinning her hopes on it in her own way.
But even that would feel like a long way to go if you have to wait a year or two.
Perhaps the fact that he had been constantly recommending me to see his face in the meantime was also sexual desire, but the desire to cool off because the stress was so piled up also played a role.
There was plenty of time left, but if Mina Kim moved to a position that was comfortable for me, it was a situation where there would be one less factor that could entice Mina Kim, so she needed to see a solution before that.
‘It’s something that can be solved with money in the end.’
What if Mina Kim could earn money stably even after beating government officials? This was something that could be solved by looking at the counter of the massage shop where Yoo Seo-yeon was preparing without having to think deeply.
The work won’t be hard, and I don’t know exactly how much the civil servant makes, but she will be able to take care of it more generously than now.
Giving them a chance to escape their current difficult and stressful life could be an attractive offer beyond simply giving them money.
‘Money or a comfortable and stable new job. Improvement of appearance, health. Hypnotic abilities. And sex with me…’
The last one was too self-confident, so I was embarrassed every time, but looking at the cases of Yoo Seo-yeon and Lim Ye-jin, it was clear that this was also a weapon that could not be ignored.
Mina Kim, who is addicted to my spirit, will be more sure than normal people.
‘The problem is how much he wants to hit things.’
In the end, can the things I offer outweigh the rejection of being manipulated by hypnosis and the betrayal of the person I thought was a friend? It was such a problem.
“Then… Do you think you could quit if you could find another job right away instead of quitting now?”
In order to evoke the hardened atmosphere, she asked as lightly as possible and moved the spoon that had stopped, moving the curry to her mouth.
