Chapter 8 – Episode 8
The ointment-covered cotton swab touched every corner of my face.
Ha-yeon Park applied her ointment as carefully as possible.
“Go to the hospital and get treatment. “I will pay for the treatment.”
“Are you okay. “I wasn’t injured enough to feel like it was a waste of money to go to the hospital.”
“If you are sick, go straight to the hospital.”
“Yes.”
Ha-yeon Park turned her head to the side.
“… Mind… “Yes.”
“Yes?”
“Go… Woah…”
Even though my voice was small, it was too small.
It was difficult for her to understand.
“I didn’t hear you properly.”
“… Do you have ear decorations? … Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for helping me. “Thank you for stopping my dad.”
Jinseong chuckled.
“Oh, sir, why are you smiling all of a sudden?”
“No.”
She shook her head.
I laughed because Park Ha-yeon, who is not good at expressing herself, looked cute.
She was silent.
I’m embarrassed to say that I smile because you’re so cute.
“But will it be okay?”
“Cho Jin-woo?”
“Yes, why don’t you report to the police that you were assaulted? Could it be that they are vengeful and retaliate?”
Jinseong expressed concern.
It didn’t seem like Jo Jin-woo would just go along like this.
“Do not worry. We have already secured CCTV evidence. “There is even a warning to be careful on the road at night.”
“Ah…”
“Cho Jin-woo is a typical strong and weak person. They are small people who are weak to the strong and strong to the weak. “He will fight because he knows the odds are against him.”
If he decides that the situation is favorable, he will rush in viciously.
Fortunately, the situation was much more favorable to Park Ha-yeon, not Cho Jin-woo.
Above all, I have no choice but to curl up even if I am scared of Park Man-bok.
“I hate people like Cho Jin-woo the most in the world.”
“Me too. If anything happens, contact me. “I will help you.”
“Phew, funny testimony.”
Park Ha-yeon burst into laughter.
It was a stain of jade.
Jin-seong, who was one-sidedly beaten by Jo Jin-woo, helps himself?
A guy who looks like he’s going to get into trouble if he starts a fight with you helps him?
It didn’t seem like even an eyelid would help, no, not even a toenail would help.
Above all, there was Park Man-bok. There was no reason to call Jinseong.
Something strange happened.
[Likeability: 31]
[Likeability: 32]
[Likeability: 33]
Park Ha-yeon’s likeability has increased.
[Inner heart: I am a kind person at heart.]
∴∴∴
I woke up early in the morning.
I looked in the mirror. It was not a good thing to look at. It was swollen. The area around my eyes that turned into a panda. Bruised cheek. Torn lips.
The condition was more serious than expected.
I think people will be surprised. Where did you get hit? Who did you hit? Are you okay? I will ask countless questions.
‘I can’t help it.’
I had no choice but to endure it.
‘I want to apply an all-purpose ointment, but…’
All-purpose ointment was sold in stores. But it was 100 points.
Unfortunately, Jinseong didn’t even have 10 points, let alone 100 points.
There were 3 points.
“Omg?! Are you the youngest? “What’s wrong with your face?”
“What kind of guy is this? “Who did you hit?”
“Are you okay? “Did you go to the hospital?”
It was as expected. Everyone was shocked at Jinseong’s appearance.
“Are you okay. There was a small incident.”
Jinseong smiled calmly.
Night has come. I went to the gym today again, without fail.
“Welcome.”
“Hello.”
Park Man-bok welcomed me very brightly.
“…”
“…”
I’m going to the locker room.
I ran into Ha-yeon Park holding a mop in her hand.
“Hello.”
Ha-yeon Park said hello.
‘It’s something to see if you live a long time in this world.’
Jinseong’s feelings for her were new. It was her first time being greeted by Park Ha-yeon. She had been scalded by encounters all this time.
“Hello.”
She was greeted with a grin.
[Inner heart: A sincere and kind pig. I thought I just had an idiot personality, but my smile also seems like an idiot.]
[Inner mind: Still, it feels a bit better today. Don’t look glumly. I hate gloomy looks. It gives me goosebumps.]
[Inner thoughts: Other than the bruises, he seems to be fine. It doesn’t seem like there were any serious injuries. I’m so glad.]
Park Ha-yeon was relieved.
[Likeability: 35]
Her favorability rose slowly but steadily, like a turtle.
‘Likeable…’
She thought about likeability.
‘It can be seen as a kind of trust, intimacy, and trust.’
The higher her likeability, the easier it was for her to buy favor or good will.
On the other hand, if her likability rating was low, it was easy for her to become hostile or distrustful.
‘And if you reach 100 favorability…’
A simple likeability rating of 100 was not the end.
Likeability was just the beginning. New features were additionally created.
‘Affection and loyalty develop. Usually, affection comes from the opposite sex, and loyalty comes from the same sex.’
Affection.
Affection was a type of relationship with the opposite sex, romance, love, etc.
As your affection increases, you begin to see the other person as the opposite sex. Start dating. Love sprouts.
And loyalty.
As loyalty increases, people begin to trust and follow the other person. The probability of betrayal is drastically reduced.
‘Stop thinking about random things. ‘Focus on exercise.’
I weighed myself. Lost 0.2 kg. I recorded my weight on my cell phone notepad.
[Day 16, 0.2 kg loss / Total 8.0 kg loss / Current weight 87.0 kg]
I did some stretching. Stretching was quite difficult at first. Now that I’m used to it, it wasn’t difficult at all.
Stretching before and after exercise was basic. Large and small injuries could be prevented in advance.
[Achievement 16: Run for more than 1 hour.]
[Reward: 30 points]
I got on the treadmill.
‘It’s an hour run…’
It didn’t seem very difficult.
‘Running for 50 minutes yesterday was worth it.’
I also took additional stamina supplements.
‘You can do it.’
I ran as slowly as possible.
I went into it with the mindset that I would definitely achieve achievement 16.
10 minutes have passed.
“Omg! “Wow!”
I was out of breath.
20 minutes have passed.
“Whoo, whoo.”
Breathing has stabilized.
30 minutes have passed.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
It gradually became difficult.
40 minutes have passed.
‘It’s worth it. You can do it. Let’s run.’
She took a sip of water.
50 minutes have passed.
“Heh, heh.”
Honestly, I wanted to stop.
’10 minutes. I just need to run for 10 more minutes.’
But I couldn’t stop.
‘Why does time go by so quickly?’
I ran with willpower.
1 hour has passed.
[You have cleared achievement 16.]
[Settlement of compensation.]
[Acquire 30 points.]
I stopped the treadmill. He let out a rough breath.
Wiped her face with a dry towel. I drank purified water.
‘I did it. I did it.’
Achieved 1 hour of running.
‘I was so tired of running for 3 minutes that I ended up running for an hour…’
This is an achievement achieved in just 16 days.
It was a small miracle.
‘At first, 30 minutes seemed impossible, let alone 1 hour…’
A sense of satisfaction filled me.
An indescribable sense of accomplishment rose from deep within my heart.
‘I’m happy.’
∴∴∴
We have entered the 5th week of exercise.
It was day 29.
I boiled eggs every morning.
‘Mom?’
A phone call came from her mother.
“Uh, Mom, what’s going on?”
– What about him? Do you have to have something to call me? I called because I wanted to hear my son’s voice.
“Aha, how are you?”
– Mom is always the same. I called after taking some time off from work. Are you getting ready for work?
“Yes, I’ve finished preparing, and I’m boiling eggs. Since I’m on a diet these days, I’m eating boiled eggs every morning.”
– Looks like you’re working out hard?
“Oh, I’m doing my best.”
My mother woke up at 3:30 in the morning and went to work at the restaurant.
She worked two jobs
Since she only rested one day a week, she was always tired.
But she had a high tone today.
“Mom, what makes you happy? “Your voice is bright?”
– Oh, you know. My salary went up. 100,000 won.
“Wow, really? I envy you. I wish my salary would go up too.”
– Starting this month, deduct 100,000 won for living expenses. Write a son.
“Oh?! Really? I understand.”
I have 100,000 won in extra money.
Jinseong’s complexion brightened.
‘Great. ‘I didn’t have enough living expenses.’
There was a lot to spend.
Gym expenses, eggs, bananas, beauty expenses, daily necessities, etc.
I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed trying to solve the problem with only 150,000 won.
Actually, I couldn’t buy shoes due to lack of budget.
‘Good. When I get paid, I have to buy some shoes first.’
I will wear them at the gym.
‘And I guess I should buy soy milk too.’
Jinseong liked soy milk.
I also couldn’t buy soy milk due to lack of budget.
Come buy soy milk.
Every morning, I will eat soy milk, eggs, and banana before going to work.
She hummed. She went to work with light steps.
I concentrate on my work.
“Are you feeling good? “Your expression is bright?”
Ji-seong Lee asked. Jinseong smiled all day long.
“Yes? Yes, my allowance has increased. “I feel good thinking about buying shoes.”
“Oh?! How much has it increased?”
“100,000 won. I think I will have more time in my life now.”
Ji-seong Lee laughed.
Jinseong looked cute, happy with only 100,000 won.
“I’ll give you a contact number.”
“What contact information?”
“You promised to do it for me, right?”
“Omg?! Really? Thank you.”
Jinseong suddenly lowered her head.
“Older brother? What about me? I’m lonely. “Please let me know too.”
“It seems difficult.”
“No, brother, isn’t that really too much? “Why don’t you just introduce me to Jinseong?”
“Sorry, I’ll do it later when I get a chance.”
“I am disappointed.”
It can’t be helped.
Even if he died and woke up, Lee Ji-seong had no intention of giving anything to Kim Gwang-woo.
‘Good things happen one after another today.’
The good work is not over yet.
∴∴∴
I had a meeting with my boss before leaving work.
“Thank you. I will work harder in the future.”
Jinseong bowed his head deeply.
[Inner thoughts: It is right to give Yu a raise in salary. If you act salty for no reason and then leave, it will be a loss.]
[Inner thoughts: I am silent, there is not a single word of complaint, the atmosphere is not clouded, and I can easily feed two people by myself.]
[Inner heart: If you want to do business, you need to attract people, and there is no slave more suitable for our company than Mr. Yu.]
The boss took out an envelope from his pocket.
“Take it.”
I handed over the envelope.
‘Is today my birthday?’
