Chapter 24
24. Bookstore (3)
1.
It feels a bit strange, but since you say you’re right, you’re right. To be honest, it was strange for Min Ah-rin not to have her lover.
Because the strongest person in the dating ecosystem around the world is never a handsome man.
Most of the men in this neighborhood tend to decorate themselves to some extent and are very interested in taking care of their appearance, but the opposite is true for women.
The number of women who are evaluated as being pretty just by looking at them is remarkably small, and it can be said that they are a precious category.
Wasn’t there such a thing as a joke in the previous world? The top 1% of men dominate the top 50% of women.
Anyway. What she wants to say is that she thought that no matter how scary Mina Lin looked, she would definitely be in a relationship.
Well, maybe she doesn’t like being around someone she’s in a relationship with.
… …. What does it matter. I am not popular with women.
I don’t really think of Min Ah-rin as a member of the opposite s*x.
I stopped my useless thoughts and straightened my expression.
At this peak, high school boys had strange imaginations with me and Min Ah-rin, so I reacted slightly as usual.
It wasn’t something I wanted to show to the kids I wasn’t that close to yet.
“But weren’t you guys going to coin karaoke?”
“Yes.”
“But why are you at the academy?”
“Uh… Because there’s a karaoke bar in the academy?”
My God.
Why is it in the academy?
I remember that picture. I took a picture of a building with a school signboard on the 5th floor, and a PC room and karaoke signboard below it.
Is this a trick?
It’s terrible and terrifying.
“Seung-gi, have you ever… Never been to Kono?”
“No, well, it’s not necessary to go…”
Didn’t you just lie as usual?
They look at me like a natural monument. …… And Min Ah-rin.
I think I brought up something useless.
What makes his karaoke room so popular?
“Anyway. I have to go buy a book with Min Ah-rin.”
“Okay. Give me some time later! Let’s play together instead of just studying.”
“Okay, then.”
Of course I don’t mean to.
Putting a living on one song is crazy.
One song could put Oldboy all over my windows.
… ….
Hmm. One defense is certain.
This should be reviewed on a positive note.
We said goodbye and parted ways, and Min Ah-rin and I stepped into the bookstore to get a refund.

“Sejun-ah, Min Ah-rin…”
“Ah, that one? Did Min Ah-rin scold you earlier?”
“Isn’t it? No, no matter how I look at it, I feel like I’m lying. I wonder if it’s just me.”
“He has a bit of useless pride. He can’t even lie.”
After Cheon Se-joon finished speaking, the male students’ voices began to overlap.
The contents are all about Min Ah-rin.
“It was really bad.”
“You seem to be satisfied.”
“No way. She must have done it because she knew she was awkward too.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s unconditional. People have no choice but to do that.”
“That’s true. Could anyone think of such a thing?”
“Ha ha ha! So!”
As for her acting ability, Park Han’s evaluation was the main focus, and after that talk, the subject moved again.
“Seung-gi seems to believe it?”
“It’s because he’s so nice. I never thought he’d lie about something like that.”
“That’s right. What do you do when you meet a bad person… Ah, but don’t you think the two of you really have something?”
“Did you see Seung-gi fiddling with Min-ah-rin’s face earlier?”
“Ah… I saw it. Min Ah-rin’s face also turned red, right?”
“Wow… How do you two get so close? They’re not dating, are they?”
“Seung-gi doesn’t seem to have much thought.”
“I did.”
“I hope nothing bad happens to Seunggi.”
“Min Ah-rin isn’t that bad after all.”
Han Seung-gi’s excuses also didn’t seem to have much effect.

After getting a refund, I returned to another bookstore in the academy district.
Since all but one book was refunded, the intention was to buy a proper book.
A bookstore isn’t a library, but it’s a space where you can make a lot of noise in it.
As much as that, I was a little embarrassed when Min Ah-rin tried to speak loudly.
‘Don’t talk too loudly.’
‘Uh… It’s okay to say out loud where you bought the book yesterday….’
‘It must have been because I couldn’t do business anyway and there were no customers.’
‘Ah!’
We walked around the bookstore together and took out one book at a time and looked through it.
I don’t know much about reference books either.
Until I was in my third year of high school, I mainly studied textbooks, and even when I was tutoring, I made the students study as I did.
Still, as I continued to look at it, I felt a little bit better.
The math workbook you are looking at now also looks pretty good.
It’s just a feeling, but there is a feeling.
… ….
Anyway, there is such a thing.
I spoke quietly into Minarin’s ear.
“Min Ah-rin. This…”
“Huh!”
“?”
?
“What are you doing?”
“If the wind suddenly blows into your ear…!”
“Keep your voice down. And you said this before.”
“Even then, I didn’t hold it close to her ear…”
A tricky guy.
A girl from the reverse world makes a fuss about something like this.
I opened the workbook she had just taken out and approached her.
“Why, why…?”
“Min Arin, doesn’t this look good?”
“If you ask me… I honestly don’t know…”
“I don’t know too well, hmm. But, why do you keep away from me. Does it smell?”
“That’s not it…”
“Or stick more. You won’t see it if it’s there.”
I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me.
It’s uncomfortable because our bodies touch each other a lot, but that’s not particularly important.
That’s how the business started.
I explained to Min Ah-rin what seemed to be the strength of this workbook.
The final purchaser is Min Ah-rin, and it doesn’t matter whether she chooses this book or not, but delivering accurate information…….
… ….
He’s completely out of his mind?
Looks like you haven’t been listening to me since a while ago.
I didn’t get an answer when I called his name.
What. The symptoms didn’t last that long.
Based on your reaction earlier, I’ve come up with an appropriate countermeasure.
This can almost be said to be big data information analysis.
After opening her mouth, I aimed at Min Ah-rin’s neck and shot her with wind.
I regretted it as soon as I did it.
I didn’t expect to scream.

This crazy Han Seung-gi.
… ….
You talked too much to a nice person.
Han Seung-gi Yo, a witty and pleasant prankster in my neighborhood…… !
Since ancient times, the existence of Mosol is so fragile that it needs to be cared for.
Regardless of a rational mind, our species is greatly affected by the trivial actions of male beings!
It was like that from the beginning.
I wouldn’t be surprised if such a sudden warm breath came into my ears.
Especially when you feel the light moisture and subtle mint scent from that breath!
And when you get close!
No, I’m not overdoing it!
The arms touch each other, the hair touches each other, and I can feel the crude scent of shampoo somewhere.
You might say that the scent of men’s hair is nothing, but you won’t know until you feel it yourself.
Should I say that something strange is going through my body because of something? ….
Han Seung-gi needs to think a little more about distance control.
Han Seung-gi is not an extremely handsome man.
But I don’t think it’s just normal appearance.
I didn’t know too much, but after hanging out together, I could see that he was more handsome than average.
Of course, I’m only a little more handsome than average, but if it’s not me, other shady female students might have strange imaginations, right?
You can just say that the kid is nice.
I think preparation is necessary.
Anyway, after playing such a prank, Han Seung-gi picked out a few more books, and I bought one reference book for Korean, English, and math subjects among them.
A much lighter bag than when going to school.
But the sense of fulfillment was on a different level.
Even though most of them were Han Seung-gi’s choices, the books he bought while agonizing over them made him passionate.
“Did you skim through the book earlier? I wrote the pages on this piece of paper, so please release it by tomorrow.”
“Okioki! Got it.”
“Oh… is that a quick answer?”
“Of course… Uh…?”
From noble mtl dot com
What did you just say?
As soon as I heard the words, I answered casually, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Looks like you were overzealous.
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s because I just answered…”
“Oh.”
Han Seung-gi put her hand on her forehead for a moment, then explained again.
Hmm.
… ….
You want me to release this by tomorrow?
You made that suggestion after seeing how fast you were solving math problems today?
It feels like the passion that was welling up just now is fading away.
I conveyed my thoughts right away, but the answer came back.
“I can do it.”
“No.”
“I decided after thinking about everything. Stop thinking about that strange workbook.”
“Yes.”
What kind of school teacher are you talking about?
I feel like a teacher tutoring somewhere.
Anyway, I’m told to do it, but I can’t help it.
… ….
No. Something is weird
Did Han Seung-gi help me mean that he even planned my studies?
You didn’t intend to study that hard, did you?
I bought so many workbooks yesterday that I thought it would be enough if I just skimmed through them once and solved them.
More than that, wasn’t the reason for studying itself to take off Han Seung-gi’s glasses?
Uh…….
What is this feeling of being dragged into something?
Somewhere. There is a feeling of identity confusion.
