“Umm~ What should I do…? ”

​

I pretended to be worried and secretly gave Seonhwa a look.

​

‘Are you still not going to come forward?’

​

Even if you are a mother-in-law with no dating experience, you wouldn’t remain silent in this situation, right?

​

“That… Hey, over there!”

​

“Yes?”

​

As expected, Seonhwa stood up, looked at the worker, and shouted.

​

“Well, he has a prior agreement with me!”

​

“Ah… Is it true?”

​

The working woman is looking at me with eyes that seem to be regretful but hoping that she is not, and Seonhwa is giving me a sad look.

​

“Umm~”

​

The position of absolute power is such a sweet thing.

​

It wouldn’t be fun to answer right away, so when I started to pause a little, the eyes of the two women focused on me.

​

“Seonhwa. Did we make an appointment?”

​

“That, like that!”

​

“I definitely… I think the only thing I heard was the question of when my part-time job would end… ”

​

He averted his gaze a little, pointing out the fact that he had never made a clear ‘appointment’.

​

I almost burst out laughing because I saw Seonhwa looking very embarrassed by my remark, but I held it back.

​

“That… I’m sure you didn’t make an appointment to have omakase with me… ”

​

“Jaewoo! Would you like to eat with me after your part-time job?!”

​

When the worker started talking about work again, Seonhwa hurriedly stopped talking and finally asked her out on a proper date.

​

Seeing this, the working woman looked at Seonhwa with a look in her eyes that asked, ‘What is this woman?’, but Seonhwa maintained her confidence even with her face red.

​

“I can’t help it. I have no choice but to eat with Seonhwa.”

​

“Thank you!”

​

“… Chet.”

​

Only then did the worker seem to realize that she had been taken advantage of. She clicked her tongue and quietly disappeared.

​

Seonhwa, who had a triumphant expression on her face as she watched the working woman leaving the convenience store, suddenly turned her back on me.

​

“Why are you doing that?”

​

“Oh, nothing.”

​

‘Now you’re embarrassed.’

​

I can’t believe you’re so embarrassed after already making plans for a date.

​

Pisik-

​

“I’ll be home from work soon after I count all of my cigarette inventory, so just wait a moment.”

​

“Yes, yes!”

​

Still with her back turned and not showing her face, Seonhwa answered in a voice full of discipline.

​

‘cute.’

​

​

​

​

​

***

​

​

​

“Good luck.”

​

“Thank you for your hard work.”

​

Finally, after finishing my part-time job, I went out and started walking down the street with Seonhwa.

​

“It’s a nice day!”

​

“… Is it winter now?”

​

Whiiing-

​

As soon as we finished speaking, a bitter cold wind hit us.

​

“Hehe… Hehe.”

​

Seonhwa smiles awkwardly, perhaps realizing only then that she had made a mistake.

​

Even that look was cute, so he smiled and held Seonhwa’s hand.

​

“!!!”

​

As if she hadn’t expected to hold hands, Seonhwa’s face immediately heated up and became stiff.

​

“Are you not going?”

​

“Go, let’s go!”

​

Seonhwa walks creaking like a machine.

​

In the meantime, it was cute to see them holding hands tightly, as if they weren’t going to let go.

​

“That’s not it.”

​

“Oh.”

​

I stopped Seonhwa, who was going in the wrong direction, and walked towards the restaurant again.

​

Even as I walked without saying a word, I could feel the heat and excitement through her hands.

​

‘I’m going to get burned.’

​

Her hands were so warm that the word hot rather than warm was more appropriate.

​

“But… What are we eating?”

​

“!”

​

Seonhwa’s face hardened at the sudden question.

​

Looking at that, I could see that she hadn’t made any plans.

​

‘They just came in blindly.’

​

“Would you like some pasta?”

​

It’s pasta.

​

Apparently, she had basic knowledge about what kind of food to eat when dating a man.

​

but…

​

“I don’t like pasta… ”

​

“Eh, no, well, then… Steak?”

​

“Well~”

​

“Sha, shabu-shabu?”

​

“I don’t think it’s that good… ”

​

After that, Seonhwa asked me about various foods, but none of them appealed to me.

​

Because I wasn’t the type of person who enjoyed those foods to begin with.

​

However, rather than purely disliking it, my intention was to criticize Seonhwa a little.

​

“Let’s just go there, right?”

​

“Oh, yes?”

​

“Hey.”

​

The place I pointed to was a soup restaurant with a sign saying [Original Grandpa Sundae Gukbap].

​

“You like soup and soup! I really like it too!”

​

“I like it too.”

​

Actually, my favorite food is soup.

​

Seonhwa looked embarrassed, perhaps because it was unexpected, but she didn’t care and held her hand and headed towards the soup restaurant.

​

Tiring-

​

“Welcome.”

​

The old man, who appeared to be a proud man, greeted us indifferently.

​

“Two pieces of sundae soup, please.”

​

“Draw.”

​

After sitting down casually, I ordered some Sundae Gukbap.

​

“Oh… !”

​

I felt a little puzzled as I saw Seonhwa sitting across from me looking around the restaurant with her eyes shining.

​

It was because I didn’t understand Seonhwa’s attitude as if she was someone who had never been to a restaurant like this before.

​

“Is this your first time in a place like this?”

​

“Oh, no! I’ve been here so often!”

​

“That’s right, right?”

​

One thing that has become clear is that Seonhwa is not good at lying.

​

‘Could it be the daughter of a rich family?’

​

To be honest, if you look at her appearance alone, you might believe she’s the daughter of a rich family, but that doesn’t mean she’s active as a hero.

​

‘Well, maybe I don’t like sundae soup.’

​

It wasn’t something worth thinking about for a long time, so I just hung up and waited for the food to come out.

​

“Sundae Gukbap was served.”

​

Two bowls of sundae soup served in a boiling earthen pot were brought to the table.

​

“It sounds delicious. Right?”

​

“Yes! It looks delicious!”

​

Seonhwa answered enthusiastically, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to her mouth.

​

“Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot!”

​

“Are you okay?!”

​

I didn’t expect to swallow the boiling soup right away without letting it cool down, so I hurriedly held out a cup filled with cold water.

​

Gulp- Gulp-

​

After drinking all the cold water, Seonhwa looked like she was going to survive.

​

“Whoa… thank you. I didn’t know it was this hot.”

​

“It’s okay. Would you please return the cup first?”

​

“Yes? Why is the cup… ?”

​

“That cup is the cup I used to drink from.”

​

flinch-

​

When Seonhwa heard what I said, she flinched and froze.

​

Although it was not intentional, it was a disaster that occurred because the situation was so urgent.

​

“… Sorry.”

​

“It’s okay.”

​

After receiving the cup handed to me with trembling hands, I filled it with cold water again.

​

Even if it’s not right now, you should drink it when you’re thirsty.

​

“Shall we eat something?”

​

“Yes… ”

​

After a rather friendly meal, he refused, saying it was okay, but he respected Seonhwa’s wishes that he could never spend it alone, and headed home with her.

​

“… ”

​

As I was walking in silence because I had nothing to say, Seonhwa kept glancing at my hand.

​

‘Are you asking me to hold your hand again?’

​

This is why you can’t be a virgin.

​

If I held your hand first, shouldn’t you hold my hand yourself this time?

​

Therefore, I will not hold your hand this time.

​

“Oh, my hands are a little cold.”

​

“Yeah, right? I guess it’s winter… ”

​

‘fool.’

​

I thought I had sent a clear signal, but it seemed like this fool only heard what I heard.

​

We pass through an alley where the night is deep before we know it, and we continue walking while maintaining a subtle distance.

​

Since it was a residential area, there was no light other than the street lights.

​

“It was fun today.”

​

“Oh, that was fun too.”

​

“… I think we’re all there now.”

​

“That’s right! Welcome in!”

​

“… Goodbye.”

​

After smiling and greeting each other, Seonhwa walked away without even looking back.

​

“… Fool.”

​

If you drove me home this late at night, shouldn’t I have asked for a cup of coffee?

​

I was worried about whether I would get married because I didn’t have that much spirit.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

***

​

​

​

After breaking up with Seonhwa and returning home, I washed up properly, changed my clothes, and put on the mask that always covered my face.

​

Finally, the time has come for the villain Trickster, not Jaewoo.

​

‘I wouldn’t be sleeping at this hour.’

​

It might be a little easier if you’re sleeping, but there are many ways to subdue it even if you’re not sleeping.

​

“Okay, let’s go.”

​

Jiying-

​

I easily crossed over the open portal and entered Strong Girl’s bedroom.

​

Because it was not yet time to sleep, Strong Girl was not seen in the bedroom.

​

‘Is he in the living room?’

​

It was in the living room, in the bathroom, in the kitchen.

​

Since I brought items to subdue and educate Strong Girl, I will definitely correct Strong Girl’s bad eating habits today.

​

With that thought in mind, the moment I put my hand on the doorknob to open the bedroom door.

​

Tong-

​

Suddenly, the bedroom closet door opened, and Strong Girl jumped out of it.

​

That moment when I couldn’t react to a situation that was so sudden.

​

Clap-

​

My hands were handcuffed.

​

“What?!”

​

“Ha, I finally caught it.”

​

Sigh-

​

Stronggirl looks at me with a sinister smile.

​

To resist, I tried to raise my abilities and open a portal, but it didn’t work.

​

Perhaps these handcuffs had the ability to block abilities.

​

‘I’m in big trouble.’

​

I tried to train Stronggirl and make her a slave, but I never imagined a situation where I would be overpowered.

​

My body slowly began to tremble due to the growing anxiety.

​

I felt like I was back in the old days, helpless and powerless.

​

“Look forward to it. I will make you never forget today.”

​

Strong Girl lightly licked her lips with her tongue and slowly extended her hand towards me.
