episode_0022

I woke up from a light doze to feel a gaze on me.

Ye-seul, who had come close to me, was gently covering the slightly lowered blanket.

As I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see Ye-seul’s face.

“Are you up?”

“Oh, senior.”

“When did you wake up? Oh my…”

I forced my sleepy eyes open and got up from my spot.

“Are you hungry? Want something to eat, even if it’s nothing special?”

“Senior, have you really been awake all this time?”

“Haha, I couldn’t sleep well.”

Ye-seul seemed to remember what she had done yesterday and her face turned red.

“Oh, senior, I’m really sorry. I must have been out of my mind.”

Maybe she remembered clinging to me while drunk, touching my chest, or taking pictures, all of which came flooding back.

She covered her face with both hands.

“It’s okay. Haha, it was fun. It’s all just memories.”

I didn’t sleep properly all night, but it was fine.

It wasn’t because of Ye-seul.

I couldn’t sleep properly because I was nervous about having two girls sleeping in my house.

‘Two school goddesses are sleeping on the other side of that wall.’

Thinking like that made me feel excited and unable to sleep.

It definitely wasn’t because of Ye-seul.

Thanks to exercising to tire myself out, I had steadily accumulated points, which was a kind of advantage.

“But are you okay? Going out without makeup.”

Ye-seul finally found a mirror.

Realizing she was bare-faced, she blushed and hurried inside.

“I-I’m sorry!”

I should have said she looked pretty even without makeup.

Her skin was fair and firm, her features were sharp, and her thick double eyelids were impressive even without makeup.

It wasn’t for nothing that people called her the goddess of computer science.

I could tell her later.

Meanwhile, I headed to the kitchen.

I should prepare something to eat before going to school.

But breakfast should not be skipped.

I fried some rice with kimchi to make kimchi fried rice.

Sizzle!

The egg on top of the fried rice was the perfect touch, making it delicious.

Ye-seul and Mi-ju, who had washed up and fixed their makeup, came out.

They were surprised to see the kimchi fried rice on the table.

Mi-ju seemed surprised when she saw my dark circles.

“The smell is really nice. I didn’t know you could cook, oppa.”

“A single man living alone needs at least one killer skill.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Try it once. It must be delicious, right?”

The girls’ eyes changed after taking a bite with a spoon.

“It’s really delicious!”

“Wow!”

This is why I cook to see these reactions.

[Affection Level Up Completed.]

[Hwang Ye-seul’s affection level has increased above a certain point.]

[When promoting, you will receive additional advantages.]

It was worth the effort.

Ye-seul and Mi-ju set off for school together.

Senior Jae-ho saw them off, saying there were no classes today, and then went back home.

“So, what do you think? He’s definitely a good person, right?”

Mi-ju asked.

There was a subtle glow on her face.

“Well… honestly, I was very surprised. I didn’t expect him to care so much.”

At first, I kept my distance because I was shy, but he turned out to be a better person than I thought.

We had similar hobbies, he took good photos, and we had good conversations.

Jae-ho also helped us out when we were in trouble with the senior students.

He listened well and his dad jokes were right up her alley.

Of course, she didn’t particularly like dad jokes before.

She just found them funny when Jae-ho told them.

The place was so fun that she ended up having one more drink than usual and causing trouble.

She wondered what would happen, but not only did she give up her own house, she couldn’t even sleep properly in the living room.

She didn’t even make breakfast for her.

She had never received such kindness without any cost.

So she felt so sorry and grateful.

“I want to repay you, but….”

“Should I buy you a meal?”

“Or is giving a gift okay?”

While discussing what gift to give as a repayment with Miju, Yesul asked.

“Miju.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you happen to like Jaeho sunbae?”

“Uh, yeah? W-why do you ask?”

Why did she suddenly ask that?

Miju asked, flustered.

“Just, I was curious so I asked. That’s all.”

“Uh, well…. I don’t like him, do I?”

“Is that so?”

“But why are you asking that?”

“Just because you’ve been talking about Jaeho sunbae since yesterday.”

“I-I did?”

Miju looked at Yesul in surprise.

It was like the eyes of a cat caught in the act of stealing.

“Yeah.”

“You must have misunderstood. I don’t like him.”

Miju answered awkwardly, pushing her hair back.

Her ears were turning red.

But Yesul, lost in her own thoughts, didn’t notice.

“Is that so?”

Yesul was strangely concerned about Jaeho.

What should she say?

Should she say that she’s becoming interested?

‘This is the first time something like this has happened.’

They had just met yesterday.

Among Hwang Yesul’s 20-year life, Jaeho was the first man she had taken an interest in.

‘Just because he takes good photos, that’s why.’

She comforted herself.

Yesul hurriedly took out her phone and looked at the photos Jaeho had sent her.

The photos were so well taken that she couldn’t help but admire them.

From the composition of the case and the phone to the skill in using light.

They were so excellent that admiration naturally came out.

“Yeah. It’s because of this.”

Yesul posted the photo of the case that Jaeho took on a photo-sharing app.

The photo was really good.

But why did Jaeho keep coming to mind every time she looked at it?

***

-Sunbae! The photo you took has reached 300,000 views this time! It’s amazing! The other photos only got about 30,000 likes….

I received a message from Yesul, who liked it so much that it got more than ten times the views compared to other photos.

Is the response really that good?

I just took it as usual.

I felt relieved that the photo I took received a good response.

But my expression wasn’t bright.

I was worried.

Should I eat black bean noodles or seafood noodles, and should I dip the sweet and sour pork in the sauce or sprinkle it on top? It was as big of a dilemma as that.

I furrowed my brows while staring at my phone.

“Hmm.”

What kind of dilemma is that?

“Should I contact her?”

A message kept popping up in front of me.

[Affection Level Up Complete.]

[Hwang Yesul’s affection level has increased to a certain point.]

[You will receive additional advantages when promoting.]

The probability has increased quite a bit….

I looked at Yesul’s contact number saved on my phone.

-Hwang Yesul: 010-****-8472

[You can send a specific message if you have a saved number.]

Hmm.

Should I try?

But we haven’t been close for a few days, so sending a promotional message feels a bit… off.

I thought it might lower the affection level that I had worked so hard to raise.

And on top of that.

[Probability: ???]

It didn’t even tell me the success rate.

This is just a shot in the dark….

“I don’t know.”

I closed my eyes tightly and sent the message.

[♚♚New Health☆Club OPEN♚♚]

….

I sent a provocative promotional message.

I couldn’t even open my eyes.

How could I.

My heart was pounding with nervousness.

Please.

If this succeeds, it will be the first step towards official membership registration.

-루톡!

A message alert rang out.

I quietly opened my eyes and checked the text.

“I’m sorry. I’m not in the mood to start exercising yet….”

A clear rejection text.

“Well, that’s how it is.”

I didn’t expect it to work out in one go.

“It’s okay. Let’s see each other in class later.”

Regretting sending the message, I closed my phone.

Yeah.

Let’s not rush things too much.

The semester is long, and there’s still plenty of time.

If I raise my likability, surely an opportunity will come.

“Well, it’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do.”

Having finished the day, it was time to get ready while washing up.

Ding dong!

“I’m in the middle of showering, who could it be?”

I quickly wiped off the water on my body.

Who could it be at this hour?

It was already past 11 o’clock.

It’s definitely not the time for anyone to come.

Is it someone from the management office?

Ding dong! Ding dong!

“Yes, I’m coming!”

I hurriedly went out with a towel covering my lower body.

As I turned the doorknob.

‘Ah.’

I remembered who it was that would come at this hour.

‘Member Heda-young?’

To greet a female member in this state, just after showering and covering myself with a towel?

But it was too late to turn the doorknob back.

As I turned the doorknob, the door opened.

In front of the door.

“Hello. Trainer.”

As expected, Heda-young was standing there.

“Oh, member. What brings you here?”

“I came to the gym to work out. Why do I have to come for something?”

Heda-young smiled and looked at me.

“Oh, you were in the middle of showering. I’m sorry. Was I in a hurry?”

She turned her head shyly.

But I could feel her glancing at my body.

“Oh, no. Come in.”

“Oh, okay….”

I had forgotten.

Today was the day Heda-young was coming.

I was so focused on registering Yesul as a member for school that I forgot about the existing members’ schedules.

‘Stupid.’

I hadn’t even prepared properly.

“Trainer, your body seems better than I thought. And for some reason, the atmosphere seems a bit different than usual.”

Heda-young placed her hand on my chest.

“Oh, haha, really?”

I checked Heda-young’s profile.

[Heda-young: Resolves fatigue with exercise.]

Seems fine.

The hypnosis content that temporarily changed from exercise to sex last time seemed to have returned to its original state.

‘What’s this new thing below?’

A new item had been added.

[Member feels deep satisfaction.]

[Feels strong sexual desire and arousal every time they see the trainer.]

When was this added?

“Trainer, are you feeling hot?”

Heda-young fanned herself with her hand while wearing office attire.

Come to think of it.

“You took off your glasses?”

“Yes. I felt more stuffy than I thought when exercising. So….”

Heda-young looked up at me and asked.

“Is it okay?”

“No! I was just surprised by the change in your image.”

“Good to hear. I was also surprised by the change in your image. Did we both convey that to each other?”

“Is that so? Haha.”

Heda-young’s perfume scent tickled my nose.

The intense fragrance that seduces the opposite sex made my heart beat uncontrollably.

“Oh, since we’re at the gym, I should change into workout clothes now. It’s common sense, right?”

And then.

Heda-young took off her clothes.
