Episode 7

“This shit doesn’t show up.”

To celebrate my move, I tried to play for about 20 years using the points I had accumulated so far, but I only got a normal grade.

The girlfriend’s grades are divided into Normal (N) – Rare (R) – Super Rare (SR) – Special Super Rare (SSR) in order of low to high, which means that you’re always getting duds.

“It seems like it’ll be hard to get an SSR at this rate.”

I was lying in bed playing gacha when I threw my phone aside.

Even though I did the moving, I was a little tired from unpacking and moving around, so I took Seol-ha out of the main to rest. If it was going to be like this, I should have just called.

“No, I guess you could call me now, but the time is a bit ambiguous.”

It was already almost midnight. In Seoyoung’s case, she was not someone who called through a girlfriend app, so there was a high chance that she would be asleep if I contacted her.

Of course, if I call both of them, they’ll come right away, but the problem is that if I call them now and play a game before going to bed, my sleep time will be delayed too much.

“I don’t want to sleep late as much as possible because the day and night are reversed.”

I’ve been doing it every single day lately, so I guess I can just let today pass. Thinking that, I washed up and went to bed, but there was a notification on my phone.

“It’s an app notification. Is it because it’s past 12 o’clock?”

After drying my hair and changing my clothes, I went back to bed and absentmindedly touched the notification and got up right away.

“Update? Summer limited event?”

Summer events are common in mobile games, but I never imagined that this app would also host an event.

I read through the event details with anticipation and excitement at the unexpected joy that awaited me.

“In addition to various rewards for clearing the event story… … they’ll give out SR characters for free?!”

Well, even though it’s called distribution, it might not be appropriate to say that I’m giving it away since I’m the only user, but in any case, I’m glad that I got a high-tier girlfriend.

As I scrolled down the screen, the profile of my summer event girlfriend appeared. Judging from her appearance, she was a pretty woman who was not inferior to Seol-ha, and in some ways, she was even more attractive.

[SR-grade model girlfriend makes a surprise appearance!]

[22-year-old super beautiful model Ha Ye-in!]

[Proceed through the event story to increase her favorability and make her your official girlfriend!]

[Condition for achievement: Favorability 70 or higher]

[*You will be in a temporary relationship while the event is in progress. (The other person will not be aware that it is a temporary relationship.)

If you fail to clear the event, Ha-Ye-In will be removed from the Girlfriend list. Please note that the limited pickup characters will not be available for regular draws in the future.]

“Is it really pretty?”

If Seol-ha was the pinnacle of cuteness, then Ha-ye-in, on the other hand, could be said to be a woman who had reached the pinnacle of mature beauty.

I don’t use social media and I don’t watch TV much, so I didn’t know, but I think he’s a very famous influencer and a popular person who often appears on TV.

“She’s even a professional model, so why is she SR? Is it because her chest is small?”

I read it carefully, hoping to find some clues, but there was nothing worth mentioning.

There were no hints about the event story, perhaps to avoid spoilers.

“Initial favorability is 13? That’s incredibly low.”

It was a level of affection that could lead to an immediate breakup if one makes even one wrong move. Really? Are they not going to just give away the SR character?

Well, I got it from the gacha to commemorate the installation of SSR Seolha, and I’ve been getting duds ever since, so it’s not strange that it’s hard to get SR characters.

“Should I call you right away?”

Maybe it was because he was aware that he could get a new girlfriend, but he seemed to be awake and was slightly reacting to Ha Ye-in’s appearance.

Since I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep because I was curious, I decided to call him right away and see for myself.

[I started dating Ha Ye-in temporarily!]

“Ah, but doesn’t calling late at night lower your favorability rating?”

That thought occurred to me right after I touched the call for my girlfriend, but it was already too late. If we break up right after calling her, I plan on calling Seol Ha-na and Seo Young to console myself.

After about an hour of feeling my heart pounding, I was waiting in the living room on the first floor, playing with my phone, when I heard the front door open and Ha Ye-in appeared.

“Ah, you’re here?”

“… … What are you doing so late at night?”

It was obvious, but he looked very upset because I called him so late at night. He didn’t even take off his shoes and just stood in the hallway, staring at me sitting on the sofa.

But hey, I can’t read his mind even with the app.

[True feelings are unlocked starting from affection level 30.]

I didn’t expect this. It seems like this event is more difficult than I thought.

“Why are you looking at your phone when you called someone? Who are you kidding? Can I go?”

“Sorry. Come in first.”

Just by hearing her speak, I thought she would just turn around and leave without looking back, but surprisingly, Ha Ye-in came into the house obediently.

Then he sat down next to me and took out his phone and started looking at it.

“… … … ”

“… … … ”

Hmm. It’s certainly understandable that he has low favorability ratings, but it feels awkward to see it as such.

There’s no point in just sitting here like this, so let’s take a look.

“What are you looking at?”

“Just a phone.”

“Can’t I not look at it now?”

“… … why?”

“I called because I missed you.”

When Ha Ye-in looked up from her phone, our eyes met naturally. Then she immediately looked down again and muttered.

“… … I saw it, so it’s okay.”

“No, that’s not good. Why were you putting on makeup at this hour?”

“… …I had some modeling work today.”

“You finished that late?”

“… … I didn’t want to bother deleting it, so I just left it there.”

It was a lie. Before she came to my house, I saw her running to the dressing table and hurriedly putting on makeup as soon as I called her on my phone.

That means you put on makeup to meet me even though it was late at night.

This led to a hypothesis: that the low favorability rating might not be due to a lack of affection for me, but for another reason.

“Yejinah.”

“… …Why do you keep saying fire, huh?!”

When I kissed her by surprise, Ha Ye-in’s body froze. I gently hugged her body and continued kissing her.

There was no sign of resistance at all. When I kissed her and put my tongue in, she naturally opened her mouth and greeted me with her own tongue.

I think I’m starting to understand what kind of character he is. After confirming and opening my mouth, a deep sigh mixed with regret escaped from Ha Ye-in’s mouth.

“Haa… …What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“I just wanted to kiss you.”

“… … Huh.”

If things had gone as they usually did, they would have just started having sex. Although he was trying not to show it, he could tell that Ha Ye-in was also hoping for it.

So I think I’ll end it here for today.

“Then shall we sleep now?”

“… … Huh?”

“Let’s sleep together.”

“Uh, uh… … That, three… … ”

“se?”

“… … I’ll wash up and come back.”

Ha Ye-in got up from the sofa, looking slightly upset, took out her toiletries from the small bag she had brought, and went straight to the bathroom.

I checked the contents of the small bag she had left behind right after she went into the bathroom. Inside, it was the same as what I had seen on the app, including underwear and pajamas that she had packed to sleep in.

“You’re cute.”

[Favorability +4 13→17]

Ha Ye-in doesn’t hate me. If we’re going to judge by my feelings, I think she might like me more than Seol-ha.

However, her self-esteem and confidence are extremely low. That’s probably what she meant when she said on her profile, “I became a model to change myself.”

If we apply this part to the current situation, it is clear that despite liking someone, the fact that he has difficulty in self-affirmation and lacks confidence shows up in his relationship as well, which makes his favorability rating seem low.

“If you have sex, your favorability rating will increase significantly.”

I can confidently say that it is very likely to be temporary. Even if you feel desired and your favorability rating rises significantly, you will immediately fall away because you have no confidence in yourself.

So first of all, you have to make Ha Ye-in like herself.

Or maybe I should make him crave me so much that he can’t even care about anything else.

“Either way, I think it’ll be fun.”

While I was thinking about how to win over Ha Ye-in after she came out of the shower, I decided to do nothing today and just sleep in her arms.

After washing up, I held onto Ha Ye-in, who was giving off a nice scent in a different way than before, and just sleeping together was harder than I thought.

To have even more exquisite sex.

—

Ju Seol-ha thought about how she couldn’t fall asleep even though it was late at night.

‘It’s strange, after all.’

I felt empty. I felt like I was going crazy because of the emptiness.

“Why am I like this? I’m not even in a relationship… … Am I lonely?”

She tried muttering to herself, but of course there was no answer. In the first place, she had ‘never’ experienced anything like love, so she had no idea what that kind of loneliness was like.

Joo Seol-ha, who had been tossing and turning, eventually turned on her phone even though she knew it wouldn’t work.

It was something I started doing out of habit, without thinking, but soon I started looking for something to talk about.

“There isn’t… … There isn’t… … There isn’t… … ”

No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find what I was looking for. I didn’t know what I was looking for myself. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something I needed to see right now was missing.

I scrolled through the chats over and over again, but all I found were messages from useless college friends and annoying male classmates, seniors, and juniors who I somehow didn’t know were contacting me.

“Where do these things multiply? What the heck?”

I couldn’t overcome the frustration of blocking all the men who contacted me without permission as usual, and I got up from my seat.

I got up thinking that drinking some cold water would help, but the moment I turned on the light, the feeling of discomfort only grew stronger.

“No. I don’t know what it is, but this is not the place.”

Even though it was clearly his own room, he thought that it was something he was not talking about. This was not where he wanted to be.

“No. That’s wrong too.”

It’s not where you want to be. It’s where you have to be, and it’s not a place.

Next to someone.

“Ugh!?”

I sat down with a sudden headache. My head felt like it was going to split, but I didn’t stop thinking.

I had to think of it. I had to think of that someone.

“Remember! Remember! Remember! ”

I couldn’t remember. I even hit my head with my own hand to overcome the pain, but I just couldn’t remember.

“What is it… … What the heck is it!”

One thing was certain: it was easier to not think.

The idea was that if you just give up thinking about it and don’t try to remember it while suffering, you won’t feel any discomfort or pain.

“Don’t make me laugh!”

She refused the comfort that came with the offer. She thought and thought again.

Until the morning came, even though I couldn’t remember it at all.
