I went into the cafe where Moon Su-rin was.

Cafe Nakwol (落月).

“welcome-!”

Inside, there were several tables and stairs leading up to the second floor.

The cute interior has an atmosphere that women will really like.

There were many drinks on the menu that I had never seen before.

Green shiraz tea, low-fat hell strawberry milk, Ralph Lauren latte… …

As I was looking through the menu, one menu caught my eye.

[Claire Rose Latte]

‘Is this a menu I’ve heard a lot about before?’

I remembered.

This is Moon Su-rin’s favorite drink. It is a drink that has even more likes and dislikes than the mint chocolate of the world.

“Please give me a Claire Rose latte.”

“Yes!”

I ordered a drink and took a seat a little away from Moon Su-rin’s seat.

If I sat too close, I would get suspicious, so I sat at a distance that wasn’t strange.

Fortunately, seeing as she was staring at the laptop like she was going to kill me, it seemed like she had no intention of leaving the cafe yet, so I just had to wait for an opportunity to have a natural conversation.

[Do you want to turn on the heroine status window?]

“Sigh!”

I almost spit out my latte when a system notification suddenly appeared in front of me.

What is this? This is my first time hearing about the heroine status window.

Since it seemed to be related to the heroine Inmun Surin, I decided to give it a try.

As I thought about opening the heroine status window in my mind, a status window appeared in front of me.

★Heroine status window

[Moon Su-rin]

-[Likeability: 20]

-[Sexual drive: 15]

-[Appetite: 30]

-[Fatigue: 70]

Current status: Oh, I don’t want to work.

I guess this is a heroine strategy system. There was no such system in the original game.

After watching and pretending to use my cell phone for about 30 minutes, I walked to the counter with a half-full glass of drink.

To get to the counter from my seat, I had to pass by Moon Su-rin’s seat.

After going as naturally as possible in front of Moon Surin’s seat, I intentionally tripped and fell, spilling my drink on Moon Surin!

I didn’t forget to make my presence known by tripping and shouting loudly.

“Aaaah!”

Fortunately, Su-rin Moon, who heard the screams in front of her, saw that I had tripped and the Claire Rose latte was about to spill on her. As soon as she saw the situation, she created a shield with her magic to block the coffee.

As expected, the chairman’s granddaughter!

I tried to kneel down in case I couldn’t react and ended up spilling coffee on myself, but as expected, my talent didn’t betray me!

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! Did you get hurt?”

“Ha, yeah, it’s okay…”

Mun Surin sighed as if she was extremely annoyed because her concentration on what she was doing was broken, and then she looked at my face properly and was speechless.

Of course. I am the main character and you are the heroine.

My face is surprisingly handsome even for a man.

Judging by the way his ears turned red, he seemed to realize that he was speechless for a moment when he saw my face.

I was worried that it might be different from the game, but fortunately it seems to suit my taste just the same.

“What should I do? Are your clothes okay? I’ll compensate you.”

“Oh, no. It’s okay. I blocked it.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll get a mop to wipe the floor.”

“Stay still.”

Magical power is released from Moon Su-rin’s fingertips.

The drinks that had been spilled on the floor floated, compressed into small pieces, and then evaporated.

“Wow, thank you.”

“But…I guess you’re a new student at the academy?”

“Huh? That’s right. How did you know?”

“I memorize the faces of all the cadets attending the same academy. The only faces I don’t know are the new students.”

He memorizes all the faces, so he must be the student council president.

“Ah, you are a senior. Please take care of me if I run into you at the academy.”

“…Yes, that’s right. This is also our relationship. Let’s say hello when we meet later. My name is Su-rin Moon.”

I guess she has no intention of telling the student council president that she is the president’s granddaughter.

Those in power tend to enjoy these little pleasures.

I’m sure you’ll be curious about her reaction when she finds out later that she’s the granddaughter of the chairman.

You are looking forward to seeing my surprised face, so I should at least practice being surprised starting today.

“My name is Jeon Ho-yeon. I’ll leave then! See you next time!”

With those last words, he quickly left the place.

I also cleared the side quest, and my goal in the first place was to let people know of my existence.

This is because Moon Su-rin is the ‘easiest’ heroine to attack in the original game.

*

It was so frustrating and annoying.

A man named Grandpa left his work to his granddaughter and went out to play. I didn’t even pay attention to the academy.

In the end, I had to handle almost everything.

Whenever this happened, I felt resentful that I had the ability to get things done.

From a young age, I learned to work to help my grandfather and father, but as the adults who were grateful and sorry at first realized that I could handle all the work on my own, the burden on me gradually increased.

Now I am confused as to whether I am a human or a working machine.

Additionally, due to my personality of becoming anxious if anything was not done perfectly, I could not do things roughly.

But now the stress has surpassed the limit.

I feel like I want to throw everything away and run away, but I know best that I can’t.

But I thought I might go crazy if I continued working like this. I got up from my office desk and went outside.

And then I headed to the cafe I always went to.

A cafe I come to whenever I need to relieve stress.

Although I hope that the open window will relieve some of the stress, there is a drink that is only sold here.

“Please give me a cup of Claire Rose Latte.”

Outside the window of the cafe, I see people hanging out, haha. They all seem to be around my age, so why do I have to be here like this?

“ha…”

I feel a familiar headache. For some time now, I have been getting a headache just by sitting in front of my laptop.

When I sit in front of my laptop, my brain knows that I have to work, so isn’t it sending a rejection response?

I was holding back a headache and squinting at the things that wouldn’t end no matter how much I tried, when suddenly I heard a strange scream right in front of the table.

“Aaaah!”

Coffee cups and coffee were flying.

Fortunately, I heard the scream quickly, so I was able to use the magic shield to prevent my body from getting wet.

I’m so glad that if my body had gotten wet, I wouldn’t have left the person who made it that way.

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! Did you get hurt?”

“Ha, yeah, it’s okay…”

The moment I raised my head to say a word to the face of the guy who broke my concentration, I was out of breath.

Not only is his voice sweet and beautiful, but he’s really… very handsome.

Have I ever been surprised just by looking at a person’s face?

I’ve met a lot of good-looking people in my life… but the man in front of me was handsome on a whole other level.

It was such a perfect work of art that I wondered if there was a being called God, then perhaps 1/10th of the time used to create the world was used to create this man.

‘omg.’

What have I done to make the mistake of staring at a person in front of him?

“What should I do? Are your clothes okay? I’ll compensate you.”

Fortunately, the other person doesn’t seem to care because he’s embarrassed.

“Oh, no, it’s okay. I blocked it.”

“Hold on a minute. I’ll get the mop.”

“Stay still.”

The drink that fell on the floor was compressed and evaporated with high heat.

“Wow, thank you.”

“But…I guess you’re a new student at the academy?”

“Huh? That’s right. How did you know?”

“I memorize the faces of all the cadets attending the same academy. The only faces I don’t know are the new students.”

If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have continued the conversation, but I wanted to talk a little more with the man in front of me.

There’s no way a new student at the academy wouldn’t know me, so to be honest, I was a little curious about their reaction.

“Ah, you are a senior. Please take care of me if I run into you at the academy.”

“…Yes, that’s right. This is also our relationship. Let’s at least say hello when we meet later. My name is Moon Su-rin.”

“My name is Jeon Ho-yeon. I’ll leave then! See you next time, senior!”

He left only those words and rushed off somewhere.

I’m a freshman and you don’t know me, the student council president?

“Does that make sense…?”

For some reason, I felt a sense of sadness and regret.

I thought I was quite famous outside of the academy and had done a lot of modeling and interviews for magazines. Should I increase my influencer activities in the future?

‘No, wait a minute, what are you thinking about now?’

How many things are piled up because you can’t handle them? What’s the point of being an influencer?

I guess I lost my mind for a while because I was working so hard. Let’s get back to work.

The drink spilled on the floor. It was clearly Claire Rose Latte.

‘Does that person also like Claire Rose Latte…?’

No. I can’t concentrate!

I can’t concentrate on work. Why is the face of Lee Ho-yeon, who just disappeared before my eyes, flickering?

It’s obviously my first time visiting today, and there hasn’t been any interaction between him and me, so why on earth do my cheeks get hot when I think about him?

Excited – Excited –

I felt my heart beating faster.

Maybe I’ve been working too much and my head is spinning from stress? I don’t even know why I’m like this.

“uh?”

The headache I felt every time I sat in front of the laptop disappeared.

A famous doctor also said that to treat headaches caused by stress, ‘we must find a way to eliminate or relieve the stress itself.’ The headache that all I could say was suddenly gone.

‘I definitely said it was Lee Ho-yeon.’

I took out my cell phone from my pocket and made a call.

“Yes, Secretary Kim. I would like you to investigate one of the new students. His name is Lee Ho-yeon…”

pop

Why did I order a background check on a man I saw for the first time today?

“Oh, I don’t know.”

Moon Su-rin began to look at the laptop again with slightly red cheeks.
