Chapter 19 – Episode 19
[Inner thoughts: Wow, that girl is really cute and pretty.]
[Inner heart: It’s my style. Should I ask you again?]
[Inner thoughts: Is that your boyfriend next to you? It doesn’t suit me at all?]
[Inner thoughts: Why on earth does such a pretty girl hang out with such an ugly guy?]
[Inner thoughts: Does the man have a lot of money? He doesn’t look rich, does he?]
I walked to the lottery room. I easily overlooked the inner thoughts of the people around me.
I entered the lottery room.
“Do you sell instant lottery tickets?”
“Yes.”
“How much is it?”
“There are three prices: 500 won, 1,000 won, and 2,000 won.”
I was worried.
Which one should I buy?
500 won? 1,000 won? 2,000 won?
“Please give me 6 1,000 won bills.”
“It’s 6,000 won.”
I paid 6,000 won. I received 6 instant lottery tickets.
The reason I bought six 1,000 won lottery tickets was simple.
‘Persimmon.’
It was purely because of feeling. There was no further reason.
“Ayoung, take it. “I’ll give you one.”
I handed a lottery ticket to Choi A-young.
It was a small gift to her
‘Will it work?’
Is not it? Could it be?
I won second place after eating a lucky cookie.
Well, even if that happens, Ayoung will be lucky.
“Really? Thank you.”
“If I win, do I have to buy meat?”
“Sure! “I’ll buy you beef!”
“Wow, I really hope I win. “I’ll get some beef.”
Jinseong immediately scratched the instant lottery ticket.
I was filled with anticipation.
She won second place after eating a lucky cookie. Maybe this time too? Wouldn’t it be possible to get lucky and win?
I scratched hard.
‘Oh no!’
It’s a pity.
Winning is a joke.
I didn’t even win 1,000 won, let alone 10,000 won.
It was a disaster.
‘Damn, I just lost my money.’
I threw the lottery ticket into the trash can. My expectations were shattered. She decided that she would never play an instant lottery again.
“Ayoung, this…”
She tried to tell Choi Ayoung to leave her lottery room.
But she couldn’t say.
Choi Ayoung said nothing.
Because her thick tears were dripping like chicken droppings.
Choi A-young and Jin-seong’s eyes met.
“Brother… I… 20 million won… For 20 million won… I won…”
Choi Ayoung’s voice was shaking.
[My inner thoughts: Mom’s hospital bills, I can pay the hospital bills with this money.]
[Inner thoughts: I was worried because the hospital expenses were not enough… I was wondering if I should take on another part-time job at night…]
[Inner heart: But, my circumstances are just my circumstances… I bought a lottery ticket with my brother’s money… Isn’t it right to return it to my brother?]
[Inner heart: Should I return it?]
Jinseong looked at Choi Ayoung’s face, her inner thoughts, and the lottery ticket again and again.
“…”
There was silence for about a minute. Each other’s eyes shook violently.
‘Should I ask for it back? Or should I give it to you coolly?’
Honestly.
Never in her wildest dreams did Choi Ayoung know that she would really win the lottery.
When Choi A-young won 20 million won, she became greedy.
“… Half-and-half call?”
After a huge conflict, she changed her mind and made a deal.
“… Call!”
The contract was concluded. She decided to split the relationship in half.
‘Yes! 10 million won!! ‘After 44 million won, 10 million won was gained!’
[My inner thoughts: 10 million won is enough to pay my mother’s hospital bills.]
They looked at each other and smiled brightly.
“Ayeong!”
“Oppa!”
Reason is paralyzed.
They were so happy that they hugged each other tightly.
‘Ayoung is the best!’
‘Oppa is the best!’
I came to my senses 30 seconds later.
‘Good.’
Her subtle peach scent bloomed from her.
The heaviness of the underwear and mead was clearly in contact.
Her lean and warm body was no joke.
“Jinseong oppa, thank you so much. “I survived thanks to my brother.”
“Thank you too. It’s your share, so share half with me.”
“Oh, no. “I won thanks to my brother, so of course I have to share.”
“I think it was perfect that Ayoung met you today.”
“Me too. Me too. “If I hadn’t met you, I would have been in big trouble.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
∴∴∴
Drinking puffer tea.
Choi A-young recalled her first meeting with Jin-seong.
When I first saw Jinseong’s KakaoTalk profile picture.
He was a pig, a pig, and his clothes were extremely shabby.
It was not a favorable image to anyone.
It was even further away from Choi Ayoung’s ideal type.
‘It was terrible.’
If Ji-seong Lee says, ‘He’s a good friend. If I hadn’t encouraged her to meet me just once, I wouldn’t have met her.
She wouldn’t even have KakaoTalk.
In fact, she planned to meet Jinseong only once and say, ‘It’s not my style.’ She would stay away from Jinseong.
‘But.’
After meeting Jinseong, my thoughts changed.
She didn’t look as bad as she had imagined. Her personality was kind and gentle. And she lived really hard.
‘I could see that he liked me, and he didn’t put pressure on me. More than anything, I was confident.’
Not bad. He was a good person. Dating is burdensome, but I wanted to become a good brother and sister.
“What are you thinking like that?”
Choi Ayoung woke up from her thoughts. Jinseong went to the bathroom and came back. She shook her head.
“Hehe, brother, aren’t you bored? Would you like Ayoung to order dessert?”
“No. Are you okay? “We decided to have shaved ice after lunch later, right?”
“Oh?! Right! Now that I think about it, we decided to eat shaved ice?”
“Thanks to you, I have 10 million won, so I’ll buy the shaved ice.”
“No! Thanks to my brother, I was able to save money for my mom’s hospital expenses, so I have to buy it myself!”
“Hospital expenses?”
“Ah… Yes… That’s actually…”
Choi Ayoung revealed her true story.
Her mother had surgery. She also said she was about to have surgery. She added the part-time salary she had saved to her hospital expenses. Furthermore, she was worried because she didn’t have enough money.
She was wondering if she should work a part-time job at night.
“Is your mother okay?”
“Yes, the doctor said I’ll be fine if I just have to have one more surgery.”
“I’m glad. Are you okay?”
“Yes? “I don’t have any pain?”
“Wouldn’t you have been going through a lot of heartache whether you knew it or not? Are you okay?”
“Okay, it’s okay now. Thanks to my brother, all her worries and worries disappeared.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Hehe, thank you. Thank you so much.”
Choi Ayoung smiled brightly.
[Likeability: 65]
[My inner thoughts: When I talk to my brother, I feel at ease.]
[Inner heart: I think my brother is a very warm-hearted person.]
[Inner thoughts: If I had a real brother, wouldn’t I be like Jinseong?]
Favorability rose sharply.
It was lunchtime. I ate Yeoptteok. I ordered the spiciest flavor. Then I went to eat shaved ice.
[Likeability: 66]
[Inner thoughts: We met with a light heart… We’re not even dating… It feels like lovers are on a date.]
[Inner thoughts: But Jinseong oppa, you’ve really lost a lot of weight. It looks better than before. I think I look even better.]
I was full, so I walked to digest it.
‘Uh? ‘Arcade?’
The arcade caught my eye.
“Ayoung, have you been to the arcade?”
“No? “I’ve never been there.”
Since birth, Ayoung Choi has lived a life far from games.
She has never played arcade games, console games, PC games, or even mobile games.
She hasn’t even played Anipang, GoStop, or Everyone’s Marvel.
“Are you not interested in games?”
“Neng, I’m not interested. “I prefer reading comic books or looking at pictures of dogs instead of playing games.”
“Would you like to go to the arcade?”
“Hmm, okay. Let’s go.”
Choi Ayoung wasn’t particularly interested in the arcade.
But she didn’t particularly like it, so she readily agreed.
She entered the arcade.
“Is there a game you want to try?”
“Hmm…”
Choi Ayoung looked inside.
A very quiet interior.
There were arcade machines close together.
“Hey, I think that would be okay.”
I don’t know what it is.
She pointed to something that looked roughly okay.
“Tekken? It’s so fun. Let’s do it together.”
“Good.”
That’s a game called Tekken.
“I’ll teach you how to operate it.”
The operation method was explained simply.
How to move. How to attack. How to defend yourself. How to use combos, etc.
I put a coin into the game machine.
The game was launched.
Jinseong chose Paul. He was a popular, powerful and cool character.
On the other hand, Choi Ayoung…
“Uh? Ling Xiaoyu? Wouldn’t it be difficult to play?”
“I chose it because it looked pretty.”
I chose a female character. She was a pretty Chinese girl.
She was a very difficult character.
“I’m a beginner. Please take a look.”
“OK. “I will look after you.”
I really meant to look at it.
Even after all this, Jinseong was quite familiar with Tekken.
During her school days, she used to play Tekken at the arcade.
It was stagnant water.
‘Ah, it’s been a long time since I felt this cool and heavy feeling.’
It was so nice and familiar to see Tekken after a long time.
It felt like she had met a friend she had not seen for a long time.
‘Give me a light jab…’
Jinsheng’s Paul quickly burrowed into Xiaoyu.
I threw a light jab.
‘Huh?’
Jinseong could not help but be embarrassed.
‘Stuck?’
Xiaoyu blocked the jab very easily.
Is it a coincidence? It must be a coincidence, right? It must have been blocked while pressing the back key, right?
‘Then how about this?’
Paul’s posture lowered. He tried a low, simple kick.
It was a low kick.
‘Huh?!’
It was blocked nicely.
‘I guess I have no choice but to use irregularities.’
Psychological warfare was used.
I pretended to kick a low kick and threw a light jab.
If I hit the jab, I was going to launch a powerful attack combo.
“… ?!”
It’s embarrassing.
It got blocked so easily.
In the game that followed.
It seemed as if Xiaoyu was reading Paul’s attack pattern.
With a spirit of knowledge and courage, I avoided everything as if I could read the future.
“Slow down.”
Choi Ayoung said quietly. Xiaoyu’s counterattack has begun.
Helpless.
Xiaoyu’s attack was fierce. I couldn’t do anything and was beaten.
“No, crazy…”
Her curse came out. I got K.O. I couldn’t even hit him once.
I looked at Choi Ayoung in bewilderment.
[My inner thoughts: I’m lazy.]
[Inner heart: I can’t do it.]
[Inner heart: Boring.]
Jinseong’s eyebrows narrowed.
My shoulders were shaking slightly.
Even when Park Ha-yeon was called a pig, she didn’t feel bad at all. It was the same thing when I heard Choi A-young say she was an idiot.
Why?
Because it’s a pig. Because it’s not right. I admit it coolly. It’s sad, but it’s reality.
But.
But.
But I couldn’t stand the sound of crap.
Tekken is an old character, but it’s sloppy? I’m a Tekken expert, but I’m sloppy?
“Hey, I won’t look at you anymore.”
Reply again, bitch!!
∴∴∴
“…”
Jinseong lowered his head.
“Haam…”
Choi Ayoung yawned.
[Inner heart: Heojeop]
Yawning and making lame remarks in front of the loser.
It couldn’t have been more perfect tea bagging.
“Yes, I am a poor person.”
I had no choice but to admit it.
I surrendered to SS-level game talent.
