Driving to the meeting place at Hongdae Station, every time I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw my face faintly reflected and it annoyed me, so I turned the mirror to the side.

Such a foolish outfit. Putting so much effort into styling my hair in twin braids like this… It’s even more infuriating because it suits me well.

The fact that this childish outfit looks good on me is so frustrating. I thought I should dress in a more sexy or arrogant way since I’m a woman now, but seeing a woman struggling to look cute and childish makes me cringe.

If I had seen a woman like this in bed, I would have grabbed her twin braids so hard they would break, pushed her throat with my fingers, and held her reins tightly when I thrust from behind.

The magician said the mission target should not be killed, but this really makes my blood boil.

To think that I, of all people, would dress like this…

I thought maybe I could pay another woman to dress like this and seduce the guy, but as soon as I thought of that, I realized the mission would be considered a failure.

This is not my style. The status bar on my smartphone sends a message in an unknown way.

“I have to annoy myself somehow. Is this it?”

In the end, there is only one way. Fortunately, this mission doesn’t seem too difficult, and if I just give it a try, it should be over quickly.

Starting from Hongdae Station to an unknown bookstore… and going for drinks is the plan for this meeting.

My plan is to disappear for a second round at the drinking session, to make him feel a strong liking for me even though we just met, I dressed up like the daily appearance of the anime character ‘Magical Girl Lurica’ that he likes.

If this doesn’t work, I’ll just hit my head with a brick and take another penalty.

It’s a mission that seems easy but is very stressful. It’s ridiculous that losing sympathy is my only wish, but I have to do this to get close to a pathetic guy who might not even be worth it.

After parking the car in the parking lot, I have to confront Gong Jeong-hoon… Ugh, I shouldn’t drive until the end of the day, so I prepaid the parking fee until tomorrow.

Walking with my twin braids swaying, I feel the gaze of the men around me on the small woman with twin braids and childish clothes but with a huge chest getting out of a sports car.

[Focused gaze]

I feel a sense of pleasure from the attention of the unknown crowd.

“No… like this, damn….”

Just the fact that my gaze is concentrated immediately makes my body slightly warm and I feel good. I find myself walking with my hips swaying involuntarily… and horribly, I can feel each gaze piercing my body like arrows, and I can even feel where they are looking.

A lot on my chest, a little on the waist where it’s most sunken in, a lot on the hips and pelvis, a lot on my face…

What’s with the guy looking at my feet? Hands? Ugh… seriously…

Next time, I’ll have to cover my whole body with a coat and wear a mask and sunglasses. It’s a feeling I didn’t experience when following Gong Jeong-hoon while covering my whole body.

It feels bad but good. Feeling good makes me feel even worse.

“Phew….”

As soon as I arrived at Exit 1 of Hongdae Station, I leaned against the wall of a nearby building, put my hands in my pockets out of habit to take out a cigarette… and pulled out a candy instead.

The cigarette tried to unfold a few times, but each time it felt like my lungs were being torn apart. It was more than just a cough; it felt like a warning against smoking itself.

Perhaps this was also related to the curse, as I no longer dared to bring a cigarette to my lips… Instead, I found myself gradually becoming addicted to sugar.

I opened the wrapper of a stick candy and put it in my mouth… Rolling my tongue in delight, I immersed myself in the sweetness.

I don’t know what happened or how, but my ability to taste has improved significantly. It’s hard to discern complex flavors, but the sweetness tastes sweeter and makes me feel good.

With the candy in my mouth, I leaned against the wall, grimacing, and took out my smartphone.

Honestly, after reading the chilling conversations in the chat room for the past few days, I feel a bit tense. Especially the term “virgin killer sweater” was too shocking. It was said as a metaphor, but… it was more than just shocking, it was a bit repulsive.

I couldn’t help but wonder what it meant… It was a scene from a novel recommended by the strangest woman I had met. A scene from “DokiO” by the Japanese author Higashino Keigo… No, it was torture…

If your girlfriend isn’t a virgin, she’s a virgin killer? It can’t be true, right?

“Um, excuse me… I’ve been watching you for a while and you’re so cute…”

As I stared at my smartphone in silence, contemplating, a stranger suddenly approached and spoke to me.

Blushing, I shifted my gaze from his face to his chest… No, face, chest, face, chest… Ah, it’s so obvious.

It’s almost comical. I chewed on the candy in my mouth, squinted my eyes, and said with a grimace.

“Get lost.”

“What?”

“I said, get lost, I’m waiting for someone.”

The guy who was trying to hit on me seemed a bit hurt but also disappointed, hesitated, looked back a few times, and slowly walked away.

When are these guys coming?

The meetup time is almost up, but no one is showing up.

Could it be a hoax? Just talking about a meetup without actually coming?

It’s a bit cold. I wonder if I wore this outfit just to catch Gong Jeong-hoon’s attention.

…Did I come here for no reason?

Suddenly, I felt a bit scared. It’s not that those guys are scary, but… it’s scary that my body is weak right now.

Normally, I would have the confidence to crush someone with just one finger. I could make them cry and beg for forgiveness with just a poke of my finger.

But now… I tried to lift a dumbbell with both hands, even though I used to lift it with one hand as a man, my body has weakened to the point where it’s difficult.

…I should have just waited a bit longer and slowly gotten to know them. Did I just try to finish the drinking session quickly by squeezing in?

As I was thinking that, my phone vibrated.

Looking at the screen, it was an animation chat room with Gong Jeong-hoon. I immediately picked up my phone, turned on the chat room, and checked the conversation.
