“Hoo…”

Back to reality, 5 hours later.

I was so exhausted that I just lay on the sofa and watched TV.

I turned on the TV, but didn’t even change the channel.

I just turned the TV on because it was too quiet.

“… It wasn’t easy…”

But this time too, it was successful in one way or another.

Because I learned great swordsmanship and completed several quests.

This time I gained a lot of new skills.

Representative examples include the Youngsal Sword Technique, and the skills of the Bitch, Charm, and Hormone.

Playboy was a skill that increased one’s stamina when sleeping with many women, and charm was the ability to slightly arouse the person one made eye contact with and arouse the person one was in charge of hormonally.

Somehow I ended up getting a lot of these skills this time.

…Well, actually, in the world of martial arts, I was nothing more than a delinquent.

Because he didn’t even use the swordsmanship he had learned, and he had sex with women all night long.

“Ssup… Shall I get up…”

It didn’t happen because I wanted to.

My stomach was urging me.

I decided to eat because my stomach was telling me to eat something and fill my body with protein.

It’s protein.

Normally I would have ordered chicken, but today I didn’t feel like it.

I felt like going somewhere and eating there.

A warm meal.

And I felt like I wanted to feel modernity in a humble way.

Because I’ve been in the martial arts world for so long, I miss modern times.

Even now, it just feels awkward not to have a weapon on my waist.

I put on the most basic short-sleeved shirt and shorts and went outside.

The weather was warmer than I expected, so I felt a little cold.

“…Where are you going.”

Although I had come out, my steps were wandering around, having lost my destination.

I do want to eat meat.

After much thought, I decided to head to a huge department store that had everything.

There was no place better to feel the modern times.

From fine dining restaurants to frozen foods, there was a wide variety of food.

So I decided to take a step forward.

The roads were especially beautiful today.

“Wow…”

“Hey, take a picture.”

“Wow, that thing is worth hundreds of millions.”

I was amazed, and people passing by also stopped for a moment, took out their phones, and took pictures of the road.

To be precise, it was a photo of a parade of luxury cars, including sports cars, lined up in a flashy manner on the road.

Although it was not uncommon to see relatively expensive cars like that in Hongdae, it was a first time seeing them lined up in such a colorful manner.

And all of those cars were headed to the same destination.

“Department store?”

I wonder if there’s some kind of car-related event going on today.

I just couldn’t get the hang of it.

First, I headed to the department store while looking at the cars to catch some eye.

Even though I’m not interested in cars, looking at this made me want to buy one.

I wanted to ride in an open car, with the windows rolled down, and try to seduce women.

…Is that too tacky of an idea?

Since it will soon be winter, I didn’t think I would need a car with no lid.

As I was about to enter the department store after concluding my pointless thoughts, a department store employee wearing a security guard uniform stopped me.

“Please present your name or membership card.”

“Yes?… That’s Seonghan.”

I didn’t have a card, and when they asked my name, I spoke rudely.

The reason for the curt answer is because they blocked my way into a department store.

I was just a little bit sensitive because I was hungry.

“Seonghan…”

He searched my name on his phone and then started looking back and forth between his phone and me.

Then he made way for me.

“Diamond level confirmed.”

“Yes? Yes…”

Because it’s diamond grade.

I definitely remember buying some things like furniture and clothes at this department store.

I bought some pretty expensive things.

So naturally, the level went up somehow.

Since it was a pass, I went in.

“It’s empty…”

It was usually a crowded place, but now it was so quiet that I could hear my footsteps.

Even some stores were closed.

Only a few luxury stores and brand shops were open.

And people were also gathered in the center of that place.

I wasn’t very interested in luxury goods, so I just glanced at them with an indifferent expression.

“There’s no one…”

There were probably more employees at the luxury goods store than people in the hallway.

I passed the luxury goods store and went to the top floor.

We headed to an area where high-end restaurants are gathered.

It’s not closed, is it?

Fortunately, it seemed like there was a place open, judging by the silhouettes of some people.

First, I saw a couple coming out of a restaurant from afar.

And –

Click, click.

A woman was seen carefully taking pictures of the scene from behind the railing.

I cautiously approached the woman who was pressing the shutter button while secretly trembling her body.

How much focus is put into the photo.

Even though I was right behind her, the woman didn’t notice and just kept looking at the pictures I had taken.

I glanced over the woman’s shoulder at the photo, and saw that the workmanship was excellent.

Even if they were photographers or reporters, I would believe them.

But there was a separate word for these women.

“…Paparazzi?”

“Huh?!”

The woman screamed in surprise and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Not only that, he grabbed my hand tightly and pulled me down.

As if telling me to hide quickly.

I was proud, but the woman’s reaction seemed so desperate that I just sat with her.

“Shh, shh…”

We slumped to the floor and hid behind the railing of the department store.

The railings in the department store were quite high to prevent falls, so even someone as big as me could be covered.

The couple who had been secretly taking pictures of the woman glanced over at the sound, tilted their heads, and then started walking again, holding hands.

They were a couple who seemed to get along really well.

…enough to make me want to take it away.

I slowly got up, thinking about something stupid.

The woman also looked at me and slowly stood up.

“What is it?”

“Sorry, sorry. Please don’t report it…”

The woman spoke, almost half sobbing.

Report? Oh, so it was illegal filming?

But on the other hand, I was curious.

“Why did you take a picture of that person?”

“Yes?”

He had an expression on his face as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Don’t you know the idol Junwoo? He’s in the clutch… He’s the main vocalist, and he even composes music…”

“…”

I don’t know.

And he even told me information I didn’t want to know.

“Junwoo…? Clutch?”

I was curious so I searched it on YouTube, and it seems that it is indeed famous.

He was a famous idol who would easily get a million views if he came out.

The group’s latest song was released a month ago.

“20 million?”

It had a very high number of views.

It was a bit higher compared to other famous idol groups I know.

Only when I looked a little surprised did the woman smile, seemingly satisfied.

“Isn’t that great?”

“That’s right.”

Then, as he looked down at the camera, his expression quickly grew cold again.

I also remembered the scenes I had captured with that camera.

A man named Junwoo was shopping with a beautiful woman, even holding her hand tightly.

Was the idol in a secret relationship?

And then the fans caught you doing that?

“Are you a fan of an idol named Junwoo?”

“Fan… right?”

The woman laughed awkwardly as she said that.

“Actually… I’m Junwoo’s homepage.”

“Homema?”

When I asked her what that was, the woman laughed and said she thought I didn’t know.

“Just following the idol’s schedule and taking pictures…that’s it.”

“You seem like a stalker…”

“No! It’s a secret, but before I became famous like I am now, my agency made some schedules for me…”

Does that mean the agency even supported their activities?

Well, your photography skills were not ordinary.

Plus, the camera quality was exceptional.

Taking good pictures of idols with such a good camera will have a great promotional effect.

It seemed like the agency also provided some support.

Now that he’s famous, he doesn’t seem to do that.

It’s a camera…

I also like taking pictures and taking photos, so I asked.

“How much is that camera?”

“This? …Eight hundred including the lens?”

“…”

I was out of breath.

A camera that’s a little bigger than the palm of your hand costs 800.

Even if it’s not a cannon-shaped camera, it’s still expensive.

“Actually, I contacted Junwoo personally.”

“Personal contact?”

Is that possible?

Are you an idol and a fan?

Then the woman shook her head.

“It wasn’t supposed to happen… I contacted you first. I’ve been acting so obvious lately.”

“You’re teasing me… Are you dating?”

The woman nodded.

Women were quite generous fans.

It is said that it is not a problem for idols to date.

Butㅡ

“You absolutely cannot get caught. For the sake of the fans and other members.”

“…Ah.”

That made sense.

So the woman is said to have said.

There’s a lot of tea these days, so be careful.

But today, even though it is a department store where only VIPs can enter, they are walking around so openly that they took pictures.

“What do you do with the photo?”

“…Well…I took a picture anyway…”

“…Huh? Give me a minute.”

The woman smiled bitterly.

I was handed a camera.

The idol named Jinwoo in the camera was handsome, but my gaze was drawn to the person next to him.

He had an appearance that didn’t look out of place even though he was next to an idol.

“Do you know who the woman next to her is?”

“Huh? Just… I think he’s a normal person.”

Because I’m an ordinary person.

well?

It didn’t look like that to me.

“Send me a picture of this.”

“Huh?! No! If this picture spreads on the internet…”

The woman looked at me with suspicion.

But the woman’s eyes shook as she continued to speak.

“I’ll break these two up.”

“…Huh?”
