Chapter 8 – My Friend Set Me Up on a Blind Date
I prepared to go out. I received help from spirits while preparing to go out, and it exceeded my expectations. Even if you don’t have to go to the bathroom to wash or touch your hair, the spirit takes care of it and creates the shape and angle you want.
Certainly, elemental magic and blood magic were convenient. I was able to convey my meaning even to the delicate details of my hairstyle.
‘I won’t be late this semester because I can’t wash my clothes.’
Looking at my phone screen as a mirror, I smiled at the satisfied face and opened the front door.
“Wow! It’s outside! Wow, this is amazing. What is this? Why is that so big? This is so crazy!”
The spirit was wandering around and running wild as if the world was fascinating. Of course, it was noisy, but when people passed by, they didn’t react as if they could see or hear the spirit.
Tarang. Tarang.
Jihoon Han was seen inside the café. A golden spoon guy with lips that seems to be laughing at the other person. He takes his mouth off the drink he was drinking and looks at me.
“It’s been a while~”
“What about the woman?”
“Does this guy think of himself as a tool? I don’t think I’m happy about it.”
“Of course. How can society like seeing someone sucking honey?”
“Baby… I decided to come at 2:30.”
“What, then why did you make an appointment for 1 o’clock?”
“Women have a lot to prepare, right? If you want to date a woman, a man should wait sweetly.”
“You’re being damned. Are you playing sweets for over an hour?”
“I understand why you don’t have any women~ Can you have your first experience like that?”
Jihoon Han shook his head left and right and lifted his phone as if to show off and showed me the picture.
“Who is Anne again? She’s so pretty.”
“This is Eung-a’s girlfriend. Are you ready to listen to me?”
“Did you follow someone’s tail when you were running around for two years?”
“You know if you’re jealous, right?”
“I’m jealous!”
Before I enlisted, this guy was so horny that he was touching all these women, but now that the policy has changed, he seems to have changed too. The pervert guy I knew has turned into a man who only has eyes for one woman.
“Jageun, are you going back to school this semester? I will too.”
“You have to do it. You have to graduate to get a job. But you just have to take over your father’s business. Isn’t college a hassle?”
“My dad told me to graduate, so I’m going to graduate. It’s annoying. They say I have to have a college head, because if I just pass it on, it will be ruined.”
“Your father’s eyes are clear.”
Jihoon Han answers by raising his middle finger at me. I grinned and took the café mocha in front of him and drank it.
“How did you know that I like café mocha?”
He looked at me with tired eyes.
“I’m not afraid. What did I eat wrong while in the military? I’m out of my mind. My body has gained muscle and I smell like a soldier.”
“Really? I think he’s the same person I was two years ago.”
“Others can see that my personality has changed. I’ve definitely changed. At the time, I seemed like a fool… But I’ve become a bastard who has had all the experience I could possibly have. Is the military that tough?”
“I hear it as a compliment~”
Jihoon Han had a good sense of vision. It is said that his father personally looks at and selects employees, so he seems to have inherited that blood.
‘Han Ji-hoon. Your combat power meter is confirmed.’
In order to feel the change in statistics, I thought it would be good to listen to this guy’s evaluation of me.
“So who is the girl you would like to introduce?”
“Sophomore year at Hankuk University. Cosmetology department. Part-time worker at my convenience store.”
“A part-timer at a convenience store at the same school?”
“Hey, be careful, part-time girl is a hate word. She’s just my employee, so you understand that’s proven.”
“Someone opened a convenience store for two years while serving in the military.”
“Then would Dad have left me alone? He put me in a convenience store, so I could have some experience.”
“I guess he has a golden spoon. He even opens a convenience store. I’m jealous.”
“The convenience store will close soon anyway. By the way, she’s a good girl, so take care of her.”
“How many months did the employee work at the convenience store?”
“Has it been a month?”
“I thought we were together for 2 years. I’m still suspicious.”
“If you see me working, be smart.”
“Aren’t you going to miss your period?”
“Even if I tell you to watch your mouth. That’s natural. If you don’t follow it, they’ll eat it. Do you do something like that? The world will criticize me, not your dad.”
“Of course it’s natural.”
As society has become centered on women, who are socially underprivileged, companies also had to adapt. It has become a country where policies suitable for gender equality have been poured out. No matter how rich Han Ji-hoon was, he had to strictly follow the law, and if he didn’t, it was clear that he would immediately be suspended from business and become social trash.
“How was the military? I’m curious because I’ve never been there. Are you comfortable there?”
“How comfortable is it? It’s no different from a den for the homeless. I went there because they said it was a front line with good supplies, but I was deceived. It’s annoying that they used underwear and combat uniforms that were all used by prisoners.”
“It’s a good thing I didn’t go.”
“Ha. I can’t help but hate you~”
“Instead, admit to introducing your girlfriend?”
“If everything goes well, I’ll forgive your sins.”
“Boss. I’ve become quite arrogant.”
I chatted with a guy I hadn’t seen in a while and waited until after 2 o’clock before heading to the meeting place.
The meeting place is a tteokbokki restaurant. Han Ji-hoon made a reservation because it was the part-time woman’s favorite food. I hate tteokbokki.
“Welcome~”
I looked around the restaurant to see if there was anyone similar to the picture and sent a message with their contact information. She tried to call, but she said she didn’t like part-timers, so she texted.
[Park Ja-geun: Where are you?]
[Lee Yu-rim: It will arrive soon. Please wait a moment.]
Because of Han Ji-hoon, I came out first and waited for over an hour, but he still hasn’t arrived at the appointed place. Still, Han Ji-hoon said that if you want to meet a woman, you have to be prepared to this extent. He decided to trust and follow the guy who had a girlfriend.
‘I don’t want to live my whole life as a Mossol, but…’
Honestly, it felt like a waste of time. However, he was discharged from the military and wanted to try dating at least once, so he held back.
While I was staring blankly at the window, a message came.
[Lee Yu-rim: If you arrived first, could you please take a seat on the shady side instead of the window?]
I sent a reply thinking what was going on.
[Park Ja-geun: Why are you doing that?]
[Lee Yu-rim: It’s because I have weak skin. When I look at the sunlight, I get into trouble.]
Selina spends all day outside in the bright sunlight, hanging laundry or grilling meat, but everyone has their own constitution, so she got away with it.
She took her desired position and spent some time in a daze. While I was watching the receptionists, a girl wearing heavy makeup and sparkling jewelry walked towards me.
“Park Ja-geun oppa?”
“Yes, Lee Yu-rim, right? Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you. He seems like a close uncle~”
Upon meeting her for the first time, she nailed it with her brother that he was like her uncle. There was no hesitation in evaluating my appearance up and down.
“Oppa, I’ll order tteokbokki.”
He sat in front of me while ordering. It’s as natural as her own bedroom.
“What is your job?”
“I also go to Korea University. I’m going back for my second year.”
“Oh, I’m also a cosmetology major at Hankuk University.”
“So it looks like it took a long time to decorate it?”
“Yes, you’re pretty. But do you have a lot of money?”
“I don’t have any money because I just got discharged from the military.”
“Then there will be a car, right?”
“I have a license, but cars are expensive.”
“Okay. Um. Then your parents are living a bit~”
“My parents… Run a store in the countryside.”
“Oh really? You run a local store.”
With those words, Lee Yu-rim picked up her phone. She uses the screen as a mirror to see herself. An alarm sounds as if a message has arrived. Then she just keeps looking at her phone.
“Food has arrived~”
“It looks delicious. Oppa, please eat it too~”
It was Lee Yu-rim, who was talking while looking at her phone. I didn’t seem to be very interested in whether an estimate for a man named me had been released. I don’t know if I’m on a blind date or just someone I’m going to have a meal with, but I just look at my phone while eating.
As I watched, my fingers kept moving as if there was so much to say on the phone in front of me. I am also concentrating to the point where I am curious.
“This person is also constantly looking at his phone~”
Then, I saw a spirit flying freely in the air. The spirit looked at the phone that Lee Yu-rim was looking at. And yet she is the one who doesn’t notice at all.
‘I just need to ask the spirit for a moment, right?’
What’s so important is whether you’re talking to someone other than the blind date right in front of you.
Even though I lifted her hand openly, she was no longer interested in what I was doing. He immediately used blood magic and sent water droplets to the spirit.
-Tell me what’s written there.
“Yeah! So… I guess you’re planning to make your lover walk without a car. He still looks like a soldier. Even better, right? He specializes in working hard. Actually, part-time work was annoying, but it’s a huge advantage if you get rid of it. It’s perfect if you get sick starting tomorrow. Reassuring. So let’s go to Myeongdong tomorrow.”
From the spirit’s words, I think I understand why the part-timer wasn’t interested after her barrage of questions. From the beginning, she wanted to find a man to replace her because work was a hassle rather than meeting a man.
As far as I know, there is a famous article in the women’s community. Also known as raising a male pet. She takes advantage of her male friend and benefits herself. It was a method used by women so that there would be no legal problems even if they were caught.
‘Well then, it’s proven that way. Let’s wait and see about this bastard Han Ji-hoon.’
Of course, I came out because I was tempted, but it was a trap. Lee Yu-rim was planning to hire a male worker and have fun with him.
“First, it’s good to look stupid. I’m having my period tomorrow, so I asked him to work part-time at a convenience store instead. I don’t think he’d stop there and run out? He said he got points today too, haha.”
I don’t know who I’m receiving it from, but it’s quite a sight. Even though they are making a fool out of one person, they even show an expression of no concern at all, which gives me goosebumps. From the moment I saw this woman’s phone, her only intention was to take advantage, and I saw her as a slave.
I’m very angry. My hands under the table are shaking without even realizing it.
I wanted to shame her right here and now, but the woman’s tears served as evidence, so it was obvious that the end result would be that I, a man, would be taken to the police.
However, if I just left this part-time girl behind, it was obvious that her friend with a gold spoon would start talking to me.
She wondered if there was a way to naturally distance herself from her, so she took out her phone and searched for ‘men women hate.’
“Hey, uncle, look at your phone for a moment. I’ll give you some tteokbokki food. You’re a master at bewitching girls~”
The first search I made while listening to the spirit’s words showed the phrase, ‘I hate men who shame me sexually.’
This makes you feel ashamed of yourself and runs away. If the woman ends it first, they will be able to break up without any problems.
“Oppa, don’t you think it tastes good?”
“No, I just got a call.”
Immediately the blood was sent to the spirit.
-When I give a signal, I rub the woman’s body, especially between the crotch and the top of the breasts!
“Huh? Okay! It wasn’t fun watching this, but is this a fun prank? I like pranks!”
The spirit immediately moved her body as if she didn’t like reading. I guess the spirits don’t know that it’s sexual harassment.
“Oppa, I’d like to feed you some rice cake, is that okay?”
“Good.”
Lee Yu-rim took the rice cake with a fork and thrust it at me. While she was eating it naturally, the spirit that received her signal entered the body of the part-timer.
“You’re eating well. Ah!”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Oh… It’s nothing. Ugh!”
The part-time worker started shaking her body. Perhaps because she is so weak, her face starts to distort and she rubs her body so hard that she dances as if a bug has entered her body.
‘Kkkk. It’s ugly.’
“I’m going to go to the bathroom. Sigh!”
The part-timer didn’t even listen to her answer and ran out to the bathroom holding her crotch.
‘How great it would have been if we had moved that quickly when arriving at the appointed place.’
She laughed to herself and drank a cool glass of water.
