Chapter 32: Finally, The Time Has Come

Every man has at least one sexual fantasy.

For example, when I was a man, it was waking up feeling the warmth of a pretty girlfriend—like the current me—sleeping in my arms.

In Jin-wook's case, judging by his tastes, he seemed to have a slight fantasy about being greeted in the morning by a girlfriend wearing an outfit that seemed to ask, "Do you want to eat breakfast first? Or eat me first?"

In other words...

A surprise event from a girlfriend who only has eyes for him.

He seemed to have a bit of a fantasy about that kind of thing.

"C-Crazy. Why are you naked from the morning!"

"I-I'm wearing underwear..."

So, the result was me right now: wearing only underwear and an apron, setting the breakfast table.

And my morning event, executed knowing Jin-wook's taste well, seemed to be a huge success.

To the point where I wondered if he might just drag me to bed and devour me right from the morning if I were his real girlfriend.

"So, you don't like it?"

"No. I like it, but ahem..."

Fortunately, Jin-wook wasn't impotent.

I could see that down there of Jin-wook, who hadn't seen me as a woman before, was slowly standing up.

Of course, it seemed like he was holding back with tremendous patience right now.

'Ah, I guess it was too much.'

Seeing Jin-wook's reaction, I couldn't help but think that.

But I don't really know how to do these events properly.

What am I supposed to do?

Morning events for boyfriends were things I could only find in fiction.

'If it were a naked apron, he might have really pounced.'

That would have been dizzying in its own way.

But perhaps it was too early to be relieved.

Jin-wook, who had approached me closely before I knew it, grabbed both my arms, spun me around, and slowly moved me toward my room.

"Then put on some clothes and come out to eat," he said, closing the door naturally.

"Aw, shucks."

I succeeded in getting Jin-wook hard even in just underwear...

But my pride was hurt that I couldn't make him take off his pants, so I punched the bed repeatedly.

Thump! Thump!

Thanks to releasing telekinesis beforehand, the unfortunate event of the bed breaking didn't happen.

'Kinda hurts my pride.'

If I'm dressed like that, shouldn't he be unable to keep his hands off me?

Especially for a guy who knows well that things might get out of control the moment he touches me wrong.

"Haa."

Of course, that's just what I think.

Even so, I declined being devoured like a dog again like back in the motel, so I put on the clothes I had taken off.

When I came back out, despite the series of happenings in the morning, Jin-wook was already sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Thanks for the food."

"Yeah."

It's a bit weird for me to say since I cooked it...

But the Doenjang-jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) and rolled omelet I made simply for breakfast were quite delicious.

"But don't you not have to go to school?"

"Me?"

"Yeah. It's not like the Design Department is going to function right now anyway."

"That's true."

I gently pulled my hand out of Jin-wook's hand.

I waved and tried to head out.

Ah, almost forgot this before leaving.

"Jin-wook-ah, what did I say earlier?"

"Uh, huh?"

"When you were surprised and asked what I was doing."

I unclasped the Mana Control Bracelet I was wearing on my wrist and held it out to Jin-wook.

Just as he was looking curiously at the bracelet engraved with my name, I gently squeezed his hand and told him.

"You'll bring that to me at the end of the afternoon, right?"

"Uh, huh?"

"It's only for a single day, but I'm your girlfriend. Since we don't know what might happen at school today, I'm taking it off in advance. You'll bring it to me later, right?"

Jin-wook nodded unknowingly, as if his soul had been sucked out by my smile.

Saying "I'm off!" to him, I stepped out of the house boldly for now.

"Haa."

As I took the elevator down, cold sweat finally started to flow down my back.

I'm going to school again.

Revealing my identity as a former S-Class Hunter yesterday, I'm walking into the lion's den on my own feet.

"Haa."

Why is opening the garbage dump named 'Everytime' (University Community App) so scary today?

Although it's a bulletin board where students pretend to be noble and polite on the surface... for me, who hasn't built human relationships well at school...

It was one of the only two windows, along with the 'Bamboo Forest' (Anonymous Confession Page), where I could get school-related news.

Right now, my hand trying to open 'Eta' was trembling.

'Fuck it, I don't know. Here goes.'

I managed to walk to the bus stop, leaned against the pillar, and opened the school's free board on Eta.

And sure enough, my data was spreading in real-time under the title [ Eccentric S-Class attending our uni ].

I was already screwed since those trash reporters spread my name as a 'Former S-Class Hunter' in the news before the correction.

"Ah, how do I go to school..."

"How? You go to listen to lectures."

"I mean, fuck, the lectu... Huh?"

I raised my head, wondering who answered my muttered words.

Kang Tae-woo, perhaps on his way to school, had rolled down his window in his car and was looking at me leaning against the bus stop.

I was about to curse at him, but held it in and opened my mouth again.

"What are you doing here?"

Come to think of it, does this bastard pass by our apartment on his way to school?

I don't think so. Kang Tae-woo glanced at the bus stop and said, "Get in for now."

I tried to ignore it, but due to the gazes I had been feeling for a while, I had no choice but to grab the car door handle.

"Then, excuse me."

I wondered if it was right to get into another man's car after telling Jin-wook I'd be his girlfriend for a day...

But I couldn't dare to take the bus while receiving those stares, so I got into Kang Tae-woo's car with a feeling of resignation.

"Excuse me, my foot."

I really want my own car.

If I had even a compact car, I wouldn't have to hitch a ride.

"Are you okay?"

"With what."

"You're a nationwide celebrity right now. Though it will die down soon."

"That fact that I'm a celebrity right now is the problem."

I hope you don't forget that for someone with 'Assa' (Outsider/Loner) traits like me, the gaze of others is burdensome, Tae-woo-ya.

Since I decided to be Jin-wook's one-day girlfriend later...

It felt awkward to dress dull and invisibly, so I dressed up quite prettily.

"For that, you dressed up quite a bit."

"This is for personal reasons."

"Hoh. You're already a celebrity, but dressed like this? Every person passing by will turn around at least once."

"Are you making fun of me now?"

Ha.

It's even more terrible that what he said is true.

I used to walk around wearing black hoodies when going to school just to avoid revealing my appearance.

"Since it came to this, wouldn't it be okay to enjoy the gaze of others for once?"

"Impossible. For an 'Assa' like me, others' gazes are unbearable."

"You're an Assa?"

"So."

However, annoyance flared up immediately at Kang Tae-woo's words, which sounded like he didn't empathize with my natural temperament at all.

Just because a person is pretty doesn't mean they're an 'Insa' (Social Butterfly), right?

"I don't really relate."

"I'm saying, rather than wandering around outside, being stuck at home playing games fits my nature better."

"That's not being an Assa, isn't that just being a Game-chang (Hardcore Gamer)?"

"'Game-chang', that's harsh. There's a good word called 'Gamer'."

As expected, that guy Kang Tae-woo is definitely a born Insa.

Seeing him unable to empathize with why I find receiving attention difficult.

Since having a conversation without empathy would only lead to a fight, I shut my mouth. Curious about how the school was doing right now, I turned on Eta again.

Now, posts were circulating sharing my Freshman 2nd Semester Schedule entirely, titled [ Time and Place to see S-Class Hunter ].

'Dizzying, seriously.'

S-Class Hunters are rare creatures, with fewer than twenty in Korea.

But still, isn't this too much?

Should I really just not go to school today and stay stuck at home?

"Seriously, the popular kid known as the department's 'Mystic' is actually an Assa and a Game-chang. I'm curious how the kids will react if they know this."

"Mystic?"

"You're always like that. You don't listen to lectures properly or skip them often, and when you do come, you leave school sharply as soon as the lecture ends. If that's not mystique, what is?"

"Well, that..."

Hearing this for the first time, I was dumbfounded.

There were male bastards who approached me personally to ask for my number.

But they weren't students from the same department.

I deliberately wore inconspicuous things like jeans and slightly oversized hoodies to avoid standing out as much as possible.

Why are people so interested in others? I wanted to grab anyone and ask.

"I tried to live quietly, but it was useless."

"Giving up is comfortable."

"Hey, stop talking. If I hear more, I feel like I'll really skip school."

Saying that, I reclined the seat back to a semi-lying position.

Looking out the window, just as I was briefly lost in thought about why my life, which I wanted to live peacefully, was ruined like this...

"Eun-ha-ya, we arrived."

Startled by Kang Tae-woo's words, I sat up.

"What, already?"

"Yeah."

"Ha, fuck."

Finally, the time has come.

Putting the seat back to its original position, while I was debating whether to get off or not, Kang Tae-woo said, "We'll be late at this rate," so I had no choice but to get out of the car.

Fortunately, it was the staff-only parking lot, and perhaps because he deliberately came to a secluded spot, there were no people passing by nearby.

But this would only be for a moment.

"You go first."

"What about you?"

"It might be different normally, but if a public figure woman appears alone with a man, you'll get entangled in useless scandals."

Kang Tae-woo, perhaps intending to be considerate in his own way, made me get out first, saying he wouldn't get out yet.

I wouldn't really care if we went together though...

Like that, I was half-forced, half-chased out of the car.

Sighing deeply at what was to come, I moved my steps toward the lecture building.
