Chapter Index

    There is a famous proverb that says, “If you draw lines on a pumpkin, will it turn into a watermelon?”

    As if trying to deny that, Hannah had been carefully decorating my face for several dozen minutes.

    It was my first time wearing makeup, and I was worried that it might be uncomfortable, but it wasn’t at all.

    Rather, it was so comfortable that I felt a little sleepy.

    The sleepiness I felt when I got my hair cut at the hair salon came rushing back to me.

    “Yeah! Okay, look.”

    Then I slowly opened my eyes at the sound of Hannah’s voice.

    Finally, after the time of tickling my face was over, Hannah proudly led me to the mirror.

    My first reaction when I saw my changed appearance was –

    “It hasn’t changed as much as I thought?”

    There was no reaction at all.

    The only thing that changed was moving the face from different angles.

    “Huh? You’ve changed so much!”

    At those words, Hannah cried out in embarrassment.

    ‘You said it changed a lot?’

    Actually, I couldn’t feel much of a difference.

    It just felt like my face became a little darker and my angles became sharper.

    I thought it was a small change considering it took so long.

    Hannah looked at me in disbelief, asking what I was talking about.

    According to Hannah, it was a big change, from the impression that she was scary and strong to the impression that she was strong and intense.

    Of course, even if I heard it that way, it still didn’t seem to make any difference to my eyes.

    Unlike me, Hannah looked at herself in the mirror with a proud expression and then clapped her hands.

    “That’s right! Should we go shopping while we’re at it?”

    “Shopping?”

    “Isn’t it easier to buy clothes when I’m home? And it’s a waste to put all that effort into dressing up.”

    Even though it’s a waste to dress up, I definitely supported buying clothes when I had Hannah.

    Plus, you don’t have to go far to do some shopping.

    Because my house was in Hongdae.

    Even I, who am a little tired these days, could endure shopping right in front of my house.

    I nodded slightly, and Hannah took my hand and led me outside.

    ***

    “Hey… over there…”

    “Huh? Where have I seen you…”

    “Don’t you watch shorts or reels at all? It’s Hannah!”

    “Ah~ So is that your boyfriend next to you…?”

    Every time Hannah passed by Hongdae Street, I could feel her popularity.

    It was surprising, but she was a celebrity.

    But some people only just noticed.

    Some men and women covered their mouths with their palms, and were very surprised.

    Someone else picked up their cell phone.

    That gaze might be uncomfortable.

    Hannah was calm.

    “Are you okay?”

    “I’m used to it… but today, I want to take a picture because of who’s next to me.”

    Hannah answered my concerns with aplomb.

    Well then, that’s fortunate.

    I was a little anxious.

    From my experience in many worlds.

    The woman next to me always didn’t get much attention.

    Mainly because of me.

    Starting with the question of whether the woman was threatened or had her weaknesses exploited.

    There were even rumors that the woman must be of poor quality or that she must be a lewd woman.

    “Huh?”

    I’m sure I threatened Hannah in the past, and it seems like she ended up becoming lewd…

    When I think about it, I feel that people’s insight is amazing.

    Anyway, I had a lot of worries,

    People’s reactions were different from what I expected.

    “Tall.”

    “Wow, look at that body…crazy.”

    “What is the order of the movement?”

    “I saw it on Hannah’s Instagram, but it’s better in person.”

    People’s reactions were not negative.

    A little surprised by that, I opened my eyes wide and saw Hannah next to me smiling confidently as if she was a giant.

    I also laughed along with Hannah’s expression.

    I never thought makeup would really work.

    These were unfamiliar gazes.

    The shock didn’t end there.

    “Don’t you think he’s a bit handsome?”

    “Huh? Really?”

    I stopped walking when I first heard that sound.

    Are you talking to me?

    The sound of two women talking could be heard from here.

    “I know you have a good body, but your face…just…”

    “Why, your facial features are so dark and you look a bit like a dinosaur.”

    “Is it a compliment to say I look like a dinosaur?”

    I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I turned my eyes away and looked.

    At that moment, my eyes met with those of two women I had been watching.

    The two women were startled by that gaze and apologized.

    “Oh, sorry. I was talking too loudly… Hey hey. ”

    “I’m sorry…”

    The two of them apologized, but I couldn’t hear them.

    There was only one thought going through my mind.

    ‘You really said that to me?’

    Up until now, I have heard many compliments and almost praises about fighting, martial arts, and night work.

    But this was the first time I heard a stranger compliment me on my looks.

    And that feeling.

    It wasn’t too bad.

    cook.

    As I giggled a little, Hannah poked me in the ribs.

    When I looked at Hannah, her face seemed a bit brusque.

    “…Go quickly.”

    Then he grabbed my arm and dragged me.

    At the same time, they even crossed their arms.

    Enough to touch the side of your chest.

    “Hannah is jealous… so cute…”

    “…Okay.”

    The two women watched us leave and muttered again.

    Maybe they’re just people who are obsessed with compliments.

    Anyway, I learned something new.

    That even a country like this can improve if it is managed well, and that compliments on one’s appearance actually make one feel good.

    Are you saying that only good-looking guys have enjoyed this good thing so far?

    It was annoying.

    It was so annoying that I wanted to steal their girlfriends.

    “Huh? Hannah?”

    Then this time a woman spoke to me.

    It was different from the admiration or recognition he had shown so far.

    The tone of voice is like meeting a truly happy friend.

    At those words, Hannah also turned her head and made a surprised expression.

    “Huh? PD-nim?”

    Hannah called the woman PD.

    Hannah whispered to me, who was a little dazed by the sudden situation.

    “You’re the PD of the entertainment show I was on last time.”

    Now that you mention it, I remember.

    I remember that the entertainment show that Hannah appeared on was quite popular.

    It was a love-related entertainment show, and Hannah appeared as a panelist, that is, in charge of reactions.

    “I see it all here.”

    “That’s right.”

    “Ah, is this the boyfriend that was posted on Instagram…?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    The two of them seemed to be close enough to exchange pleasantries, and then the conversation turned to me.

    The PD’s eyes scanned me up and down.

    He smiled as if he had discovered something interesting.

    I avoided eye contact because the gaze felt a little awkward.

    Then the PD spoke to me with his eyes sparkling.

    “Do you have any plans to appear on a variety show?”

    “Huh?”

    “You really are the kind of man we were looking for… What do you think?”

    It was a sudden story.

    He urged the two of us to go to a cafe and talk about the details.

    The two of us faced each other.

    “…Would you like to hear a story?”

    “Yes.”

    I’m not busy anyway.

    First of all, if you consider Hannah’s position, there was nothing bad about looking good to the PD.

    The two of us followed him into the cafe.

    After listening to the story, it seemed like this PD was more famous than I thought.

    He was a producer who created various love observation programs and made every program he created a success.

    Based on that success, they planned to produce a large-scale program this time.

    It was exactly that they wanted to have me appear on that entertainment program.

    It’s entertainment.

    The words alone didn’t really pique my interest.

    “Is this a dating show again?”

    “Then!”

    PD answered Hannah’s question bluntly.

    Variety shows, even romantic variety shows, didn’t feel like something that suited me.

    I guess it might be different if it was a physical program or a high-level entertainment show.

    The PD sensed that I was not interested and started to appeal to me in a hurry.

    “Really famous people also appear.”

    “…”

    “Even actresses and SNS stars!”

    I glanced at Hannah sitting next to me.

    A famous SNS star.

    Here it is.

    Then, the PD closed his mouth and then rushed at me again.

    “I’m going to rent out the entire ultra-luxurious resort in Hong Kong! Even the island!”

    “…Oh…”

    As expected, he’s a famous PD.

    Did you receive support that far?

    It was a super luxurious resort, and I was a little impressed by the scale of the island they rented out.

    Besides, Hong Kong was a tourist destination I always wanted to visit someday.

    Then I briefly heard about the content of the entertainment show.

    It is a dating observation variety show that brings together various men and women at a special resort and places them in various situations.

    What’s unique is that not only the panelists are observing, but the participants are also able to observe each other.

    I asked them how exactly they observed each other.

    The reply I got was that they couldn’t tell me the details in advance.

    “It feels like a light trip… because they pay for the airfare and appearance fee. It feels like Hannah is going on a trip with her boyfriend after appearing as a panelist…”

    “What should I do?”

    I asked Hannah casually.

    When I heard it, it didn’t seem so bad.

    Entertainment aside, the ultra-luxurious resort and Hong Kong Island as a travel destination were appealing.

    So I asked Hannah for her opinion.

    First of all, it would be a strange sight for me, known as the boyfriend, to appear on a dating show.

    Hannah nodded without hesitation.

    “I like it.”

    “Oh, really?”

    The PD was actually embarrassed by that cool answer.

    I had vaguely anticipated Hannah’s answer.

    I had a twisted obsession with women, but Hannah also wanted to see me do it with other women.

    Because it had such a twisted wall.

    “Then for more detailsㅡ”

    We heard about the contract and other matters at the cafe.
