23. Bookstore (2)

“Why refund?”

“You’re not asking because you don’t know, are you?”

When she said that, she put on a slightly embarrassed expression.

I couldn’t even solve 10 problems in 30 minutes, and I helped even with the problems I was stuck on, so I’m sure you’re feeling it too.

“That… Even if I don’t get a refund, wouldn’t I use it somehow if I had it?”

“If I need something, I can go and buy it again.”

“If you have it in advance…”

“If that happens, it’s just too much.”

“Or how about your own…?”

“It’s burdensome.”

It is understandable why people hesitate so much about the word refund.

It must have been embarrassing to go back a day after buying the book and ask for a refund, and wonder what would happen if it was rejected.

In the past, I used to be the kind of person who just wanted to get over things, but once I suffered a needless loss, my personality changed.

I know that Minah Lin is not a tight-fisted person, but she has no intention of letting this situation go unnoticed.

She was uncomfortable with me rather than for her.

“What if I say no?”

“There is a way. I believe in myself.”

“Huh? It’s okay if you don’t step out yourself…”

“If you say help, take it.”

“Yes.”

The best tip for living life is to minimize damage.

Of course, you shouldn’t do anything that lacks sociality, saying you won’t lose, but in most situations, you have to take care of your own gain first.

At least that’s how I’ve lived.

“Take all the books out of the bag.”

There are endless reference books like Doraemon’s pockets.

Looking at those books, I knew very well that Min Ah-rin had excellent athletic skills.

Wasn’t it heavy when carrying all of that?

I gave up trying to pick out a good book.

I felt that the quality of the book was terrible after reading just one or two books, so I thought any more than this would be a waste of time.

I have to get rid of the math problems I solved today.

“Let’s refund everything except what we paid today.”

“Huh? It wouldn’t be okay to leave that unified society…”

“It’s not okay.”

“Well, they say math is quantity…”

Mathematics-related books occupied the largest proportion, about five.

One quantity is certain, but I can never afford that.

“Then do you want to solve all of them? 3 Weeks is 21 days, 21 days is 504 hours, and I solved about 10 questions in 30 minutes. I think I can solve about 10080 questions if I do math in the meantime.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

I won’t accept any more whining.

“Seung-gi, do you have some time today?”

After the funeral ceremony, Cheon Se-joon looked back and called out to me.

He’s one of two people I feel comfortable dealing with.

“Ah, are you going to an academy?”

“No. That’s not it. Why?”

“Just. I was going to go to Kono with the kids, but I asked if you were thinking about it too.”

“Ah, go by yourself. It’s not where I’m going. I have an appointment today.”

“Why can’t you wear it? There are many kids who want to play with you.”

They are probably the ones who study hard.

Still, I have no desire to play.

It’s not that I hate them, I’m not interested in karaoke, and I basically have no money.

Above all, isn’t there a prior agreement?

“Tell me I’m sorry. I have somewhere to go today.”

“Okay? Then give me some time later. Let’s not just study all the time, let’s go have fun together.”

“Well, yes.”

Cheon Se-joon packs his things and leaves.

I have to make excuses and get out of here later.

“Han Seung-gi, but don’t you hang out with other boys?”

“I’m not really interested. Have you got all your books?”

“Oh, I put it all in.”

Even if I had money, what would I do with them?

We left the road, chatting nonsense as usual, and within a few minutes we arrived at the academy.

Roads in a straight line and buildings with all sorts of signboards.

Yellow academy vehicles and numerous students.

There was a place like this in my neighborhood.

Hmm. No, not in my town. My town is about 40 minutes away from here.

“This is the academy furniture.”

“Isn’t it in your neighborhood? Oh, don’t you know because you were tutored?”

“Think whatever you want.”

“What is that?”

It’s no use clearing up misunderstandings.

When I told someone about my situation, the atmosphere always went downhill.

At times like this, it’s best to just skip it in moderation.

Anyway. I followed Minarin’s guidance and moved on.

The bookstore was quite close, so I was able to find it quickly.

The best way to get a refund is to give off a menacing vibe, and that’s why I’ve never gotten a refund easily.

Being good-looking means that you have the perfect appearance to be treated as a hukou.

In that respect, we can say that the situation is very good.

Isn’t there one person who is the best expert in that field?

It is said that the owner of the bookstore is so strong that he will go ripping off Min Ah-rin for her looks, but there are limits.

I believe in Min Ah-rin’s brilliant talent.

To be precise, it’s Min Ah-rin’s talent that shines through her looks.

“Min Ah-rin, look at me.”

“Eh. Why?”

“Make an angry face.”

“Huh? Uh…, uh.”

How can you?

Can it be this awkward?

This also seems to create a bizarre atmosphere in its own way.

“If you raise the corner of your mouth a little…”

“Like this?”

He looks like a real joker. Or Pennywise?

With just a little bit of powder, you can make a K-Joker.

But I don’t want a grotesque expression.

I decided not to waste my time on useless actions and spoke to Min Ah-rin again.

“Relax her face and stay still.”

“Oki. Uh… Now, hold on…!”

I was thinking of making a facial expression myself, but the rejection reaction is stronger than expected.

Well, I only put one finger on it.

Still, I did not give up. As I pushed a little further, he gave up while making a strange noise.

Hmm.

To be honest, the reaction was fun so I went a little more radical.

I was also interested in art when I was young, so I enjoyed the feeling of reshaping my appearance like that.

“Seunggi Han… Do I really need to do this?”

“Well, I think it would be nice.”

“People are staring at us… This is so embarrassing…”

“Ah. That’s right.”

“Isn’t it? Then…”

“Be patient.”

“10…………. 9, 8, 7.”

To count only four numbers in one second.

I think it’s too much for me to do more, so I’m just going to let go…….

I tried to take it off.

A shape like a mountain that catches my eye.

“Seung-gi, why are you here? Going to an academy? Uh… Min-ah-rin? Why are you here?”

“Cheon Se-joon?”

Didn’t you say you were going to coin karaoke?

Why are you at the academy?

I’m sure there are coin karaoke rooms in the academy district.

… ….

Actually, I don’t know a single thing about the place called the academy.

Anyway, it can be said that the timing is ambiguous.

3.

My genius ‘Min Ah-rin-brain’ worked hard today, and thanks to that, I was able to objectively look at this situation from a third person’s point of view.

… ….

Seunggi Han. What the hell is he…… !

Why do you mean touching a person’s face?

Do you know how shy I was?

Looking at that pure expression, it seems like you don’t know at all.

… ….

No. With a face like that, there’s no point in getting angry.

Of course I’m just embarrassed, I’m not angry at all, anyway! Let’s move on to such trifles!

“Min Ah-rin, what are you doing? What were you two doing with Seung-gi? No, but didn’t you say you had a contract with Seung-gi?”

“Yes. I have something to help Minarin.”

Cheon Sejun’s voice was the loudest, but it wasn’t just his voice.

I heard other boys chattering too.

How many people are in your party?

I still can’t look behind Cheon Se-joon.

This is a little embarrassing, but no, it’s the reason I’m really embarrassed.

I remember little by little the hand of Han Seung-gi who touched my face earlier…….

Of course, I’m not a crazy person who feels a s*xual urge over such trivial things!

Still. Something. The fact that a man messed with my face. That warm and soft touch.

For a 17-year-old high school girl in her prime, it’s not something that can be easily ignored…….

… ….

Even if I think about it, it looks like a real pervert. If you tell me this as it is, even a sage like Han Seung-gi will despise you as soon as you hear it, right?

…… What to do though! If there are any high school girls who aren’t perverts, come see me!

My friends also share porn in their group chat rooms, so what’s wrong with me doing this alone!

Isn’t it like I like Han Seung-gi or treat him s*xually?

It’s an unfamiliar experience, so it’s just a little bit exciting!

It’s just a physiological reaction that a high school girl would see!

“What is it? What did you help me with?”

“It’s just, there’s such a thing. It’s private.”

I was in a daze by myself when I heard the sound of a conversation next to me.

I was a little relieved to hear the contents of that conversation.

I came to the bookstore with a man because I couldn’t get a refund.

I can’t stand the spread of this fact.

I wonder if it was Han Seung-gi’s consideration for skipping the conversation.

After I regained my peace a bit more, I turned to Cheon Se-joon.

“Cheon Se-joon… Why are you here… Eh.”

Although I already noticed that Cheon Se-joon had a party with him.

I didn’t expect there to be so many?

“Seung-gi… Wasn’t he just touching Min-ah-rin’s face…?”

“Where were the two of you going to go somewhere?”

“Hey… Quiet…. Seung-gi always goes out to PE class with Min Ah-rin….”

“They used to hang out all the time.”

“Wow… Seung-gi… Wow…”

My God.

What kind of misunderstanding do you mean?

I understand that it was a misunderstood situation, but I’m dating Han Seung-gi?

In the first place, he is far from my ideal type, but I can’t stand misunderstandings like that!

And to Mosol, what vicious misunderstanding is this? You get hurt!

From noble mtl dot com

However, as always, Han Seung-gi was the first to refute.

“What must be wrong with that… Why is Min Ah-rin dating me?”

“No, where am I?!”

“I don’t mean that. Are you going to have a boyfriend anyway?”

“Uh… Uh…”

Uh…….

Suddenly, all the eyes of the audience fell on me.

No, what kind of situation is this?

I immediately tried to open my mouth in a panic, but a certain thought made my body stiffen.

… ….

Should I say that I’m not dating anyone here?

If the conversation goes wrong for no reason, this is it. Doesn’t that even reveal that I’m a mother-of-a-kind solo?

‘You don’t have a boyfriend? Oh, did they break up?’

‘No… It just doesn’t exist.’

‘That means he’s not there right now.’

‘It hasn’t been there until now.’

Ooh.

There are a few things my ego won’t tolerate.

One of them is embarrassing in front of men.

And getting caught by men that I am a mother-of-pearl even though I dress up in my own way.

To put it simply, something that hurts your pride or makes you feel ashamed.

I’m the only one who can’t have a relationship that all my friends do, and I can’t openly say this…….

Do you have anything to spread the word about?

Isn’t it obvious that it will only add to your sadness?

I decided to take care of my ego, and the normally awkward lie came out quite naturally.

“That’s right. I have a boyfriend, so what am I going to do with Han Seung-gi? I’m here to help buy books.”

Yes.

It was a choice with no shame or regret!
