Seyun is a good kid.

As I have always emphasized, he is very sociable and kindly accepts other people’s unreasonable jokes.

In addition, unlike her refreshing facial features that go really well with short hair, her impression and atmosphere are full of kindness.

Would you understand if I said it was a warm and cozy series?

She has a decent height and body, so men get excited just by looking at her.

However, the problem was that I was not aware of that line.

Beyond being kind, the man who mistakenly believes this does something that makes him mistaken again without hesitation.

For example, let’s say that Se-yeon dropped her writing instrument in a university classroom and is looking for it.

Normally, she would try to find and solve it quickly on her own, but Seyun naturally asks anyone who comes into view to help her find it.

After the two of them sweep the floor to find a writing utensil, Se-yeon naturally expresses her gratitude.

That greeting was an act of taking out a wet tissue and wiping it off himself, saying that his hands had gotten dirty because of him.

It doesn’t matter whether the other person is a man or a woman.

Because they clean so meticulously and thoroughly, any man can’t help but feel his heart race during that short period of time.

Here the man makes the first mistake.

From then on, whenever I met Seyun on the street, no matter how far away we were or how we passed each other, she would wave first and pretend to know me.

If we are on KakaoTalk, I will reply within 2 hours at the latest.

In other words, the conversation is also continuing on KakaoTalk.

The man’s illusions begin to slowly flow into confidence and favor.

So when a man musters up the courage to ask her out for a meal or a movie, Seyun agrees to meet anyone, no matter who it is, unless her schedule really allows it.

Wow, you’re not rejecting this when it’s just the two of you watching it separately?

Even when we met, he responded in a fun way and we had a good conversation?

And every time? Even if you get rejected, there’s a really good reason why it doesn’t work.

This is why men believe that they are at least in a relationship, beyond the illusion of illusion.

But here’s the most important point.

Se-yeon does this to everyone, regardless of gender.

It doesn’t discriminate between people.

So when that returning student was taking her around, people around him came forward to help her.

When Se-yeon acted like this, the man would try to interfere in various ways, such as eating, watching movies, and drinking with other guys besides him, or he would rush to confess and end up destroying himself.

How do you know so much?

I almost got into trouble when I was a college student.

Are you wondering if the example above is my story?

It was true that he had wiped his hands.

However, until my second year of college, I wasn’t the type to send KakaoTalk messages first, even though I wanted to approach people.

Thanks to that, I was able to come to a conclusion by synthesizing what I heard from people around me while I was alone.

Only after hearing those words could I understand the person named Seyun.

Just when I was trying to distance myself from him without falling into any bigger delusions, a scandal broke out with another girl, and I ended up going to the military while trying to deal with it.

Seyun helped me a bit at that time.

Still, I dealt with that incident and Seyun very rationally.

After he returned from the military, he didn’t return to school and was whisked away to another world.

After somehow defeating the Demon King and receiving a good reward, I returned home feeling lonely, so I looked for a part-time job at an izakaya, but unfortunately, Se-yeon was there again.

Why was this kid here instead of going to college?

It was not long after the second semester had started.

I heard directly that he had a good relationship with the kids, but now he hardly keeps in touch with them.

Because of the warm welcome they gave me when they first saw me here, I had to receive some harsh looks from the other male part-timers.

Of course, since he behaved well, those suspicious looks disappeared before long.

Actually, there was something about Se-yeon not doing well in school that bothered me, but I didn’t ask her about it.

I’ll figure it out.

I’m over 20 and not a kid.

After that, Seyun tried to be friendly to me and secretly take care of me, but I kept a suitable distance with a businesslike smile.

But somehow, it felt like he was trying to get closer to me than when I was in college.

Seyun accepts, but she’s not the type to come first?

I must be mistaken.

The kid might have changed a little during the two years plus a few months in the military.

Right now, I’m busy just taking care of Yeonseo.

Just thinking about when our saint would confess that she had come over to this side made my head feel like it was going to burst.

Anyway, this is all I know about Seyun.

I didn’t know what happened to the men who confessed to me or how Seyun treated them.

But now I know.

“Seyeon, here’s some scrambled eggs.”

“Yeah~!”

“Yoon Kang-ah’s assorted sashimi.”

“Yes… .”

These two people meet for the first time since the holiday pension confession incident.

The atmosphere was a total mess because of these two people.

Since Se-yeon and Yoon-kang are the type to do their work with utmost care, they don’t make mistakes that could upset the customers.

Rather, I was more focused and doing well.

“Yoon Kang-ah! Table 3 needs a refill of peas, bring them to me.”

“I just got the order, so I’ll take it.”

“Okay, then.”

As you can see from the conversation between Jonghyun and Seyun just now, Seyun treats Yoon Kang like he doesn’t exist unless it’s really necessary.

In addition, he cut off all excuses to seek his help.

Yoon Kang looked so discouraged by Se Yeon’s complete indifference and pushy actions that it was noticeable on his handsome face.

The serving part-timers were also restless because of Se-yeon’s aura, which was neither cold nor expressive of complete disinterest, and because of Yoon-kang’s constant watchfulness.

But it has nothing to do with me.

Because I’m a kitchen assistant.

In fact, today the omelets sold the best ever, so I was busy mixing the egg mixture, straining it through a sieve, turning it over, and folding it.

Haa, is it that delicious?

Rather, I feel sorry for never doing it for Yeonseo.

I have to do it soon.

In this world, our saint really likes egg dishes.

Huh? Why am I thinking about Yeonseo in the middle of my work?

Let’s focus, focus.

But somehow things were going in a worse direction.

It’s time for the serving part-timer’s meal.

However, Se-yeon and Yoon-kang, who used to eat together every day, did not even sit at the dinner table together this time, taking turns.

Seyun ate first, then Yoonkang and the others ate. At Seyun’s table, people chatted among themselves, but when Yoonkang was eating, there was no conversation.

The atmosphere is really heavy.

The boss was also annoyed by this, so I was in an awkward position when I tried to focus on my work alone, but the boss next to me couldn’t hide his discomfort.

“Jinhyun, do you have a minute?”

Suddenly Jonghyun hyung called me.

When I showed him that there were no orders in the kitchen yet, the manager nodded and told me to go.

“Why are you like that?”

Jonghyun hyung called me out and brought me to the smoking area.

He lit his cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke through his nose.

The smoke that came out was as bitter as it was sweet.

You have a lot on your mind.

After sucking it a couple more times, Jonghyun asked me.

“Are you close with Seyun?”

“… No?”

“Seyeon is really friendly to you.”

“He’s like that to everyone.”

“That’s true, but you’re in the same department as me at the same university?”

“It’s not like we’re just close, nor do we avoid each other… It’s just somewhere in between? It feels like we’re exactly in the middle.”

“Don’t you do any activities together at university? At least group projects.”

“Brother, wherever I go, I have this awesome spirit… .”

Jonghyun hyung avoided my eyes.

Maybe it’s because you left me out during this vacation that I feel a bit down.

No, I like it better.

I don’t like hanging out with people, so I wouldn’t have gone even if you asked me to.

I’ve already told this to the boss.

“That, even in college, Se-yeon made guys mistake her…? Was there something like that? Originally?”

Why do you insist on asking this?

It could be what Ha So-yeon wanted to do.

Of course, I’m not the type of person who never goesssip.

That’s because I don’t have anyone to talk to.

On days when I’m feeling irritated, I just stay home and grumble.

However, during the time I was out hunting down the Demon King in this world, there were enemy eyes and ears everywhere, so from then on, I started to avoid having conversations like this unless it was a safe place where the two of us could be alone.

“Yoon Kang and Se Yeon are both so kind. They don’t know how to say no. They are nice to each other and spend time with each other, so this kind of thing happened.”

Throw away the burned cigarette butt into the ashtray.

Jonghyun let out a big sigh.

“Yesterday, after they finished the pension and parted ways, Yoon Kang kept texting and calling Se Yeon. Se Yeon got tired of answering all of that and even told him to stop.”

Yoon Kang-ah, why did you do that?

I thought I covered it well just now, but I turned out to be an idiot who spoke without knowing the context.

“She told me in advance before she came to work today. She said she was sorry that the atmosphere seemed bad.”

At this point, I felt sorry for Jonghyun hyung and the other kids.

I just went out to have fun, but the aftermath was no joke.

If this atmosphere wasn’t quickly captured, other part-timers who felt unfamiliar with this tension might quit.

“So, would you mind switching roles with Yoon Kang today? Before you came, Yoon Kang was the kitchen assistant.”

Oh, I hate dealing with people.

Jonghyun hyung, who saw me hesitate, sprayed deodorant on his body and spoke in an earnest tone.

“Please.”

However, it is not the case that the manager simply ignores the situation when he or she is taking responsibility and trying to do something.

I couldn’t help but nod.
