As the lunch time continued on, I was gradually getting closer and closer to Ji-woo both physically and mentally.
She started talking more and more and I started listening to the useless information she was spouting. I mean, who would need to know how you got into video games?
Not me, that's for sure.
For whatever reason, almost every girl I have met and talked to lengthens a short story by a couple minutes. However, Ji-woo takes this to the extreme.
Instead of saying, "I was interested in video games so I played them", she would say "so it all started when I was younger and a friend introduced me to..." and then on and on and on.
Hopefully this is only my bad luck; certainly hope Mi-young isn't like Ji-woo.
Meanwhile, I make sure to sometimes pay attention So-young who is just sitting there with an amiable smile on her face and is listening to Ji-soo politely.
...at least I think.
She kind of looks like if you took out all her insides and replaced them with fluff. She's like a puppet that can't respond and is just there. Sitting and smiling like some sort of talk show host on one of those "Late Late Late Late Late Late Late Night" shows.
'Ughhhhh...when will it end. Even if I am used to the ramblings of drunken women, this is taking it too far'
[well! That is why it's a hardcore mission!]
'...is there anyway I can get her to like me more without boring myself to death and letting her shoot her word machine gun?'
[hmmmm, I guess I could give you some advice since your little bean brain can't think of an idea on your own]
'....'
After the insulting and Feelie thinking for a while, he makes a bell dinging sound, most likely him coming up with an idea.
[I'm not too aware of your cultures and such but don't younger humans follow their instincts more? If this is the case, you can show your superiority over your peers by being more athletic]
'Aha! So use my swimming right? Thanks Feelie!'
Hearing the solution Feelie came up with, I can't remove the grin from my face.
What I'm about to do is probably a very, very dirty tactic. Not only am I going flex using my swimming, but I'm going to use others to improve my own status.
It's absolutely perfect!
Worthy of my status. The playboy.
Kim "Playboy" Min-chul...it's ehh.
I turn my head to look at the talking Ji-woo and devise a plan to make our relationship even more ambiguous than before.
"So yeah! Anyways, that's why I'm so tan! Oh yeah, speaking of ta- mhhpprrhh!"
I scooped some rice with some egg and veggies and put it into her mouth forcefully yet softly at the same time. Since the chopsticks didn't hit any of her teeth or the roof of her mouth, she will naturally enjoy it.
It's as if she is eating by herself it's so good.
[wahhhhh, how the hell do you know how to make it not hit her mouth? Wait! Do-]
'Practice and experience makes perfect, Feelie'
[ughhh, ok then]
Ignoring those who trample your hobbies is key to a happy life.
Remember that, my readers! Feed all the women...or men you want. I don't judge!
"A-ahhh, wh-what are you doing, Min-chul?"
She chews on the food and after swallowing it, her face goes red for some reason. Hmmm, I guess it is new getting fed by someone your own age.
"I wanted to! And plus, you were giving me your food so I thought I should do the same"
Hearing my explanation calmed her down a little but she is still shocked at my actions. Ehhh, I guess I sometimes my genius it's...it's almost frightening.
I'm a menace and a danger to women's hearts; single and married. Lock me up in an all women's jail and throw away the keys, please and thank you.
But seriously now, I wonder why she reacted so badly to that?
I didn't hit her mouth, I made sure that the chopsticks didn't fall on the floor and the food isn't poisoned. How curious. Curious indeed.
(Ji-woo POV)
During lunch, I knew that the best way to get close to someone is to share your food. After all, sharing is caring and friends care for each other.
That's what mom said at least. I wouldn't know.
I never got to experience this since most of my classmates saw me as annoying... Except for Min-chul! Only he, mother and father aren't annoyed by me.
And I'm very happy that Min-chul isn't annoyed with me. He's fast at running, he's funny and he looks like a cute puppy. A very great combination!
While Min-chul was enjoying my food, I started telling him my epics and tales!
How I got my name, how I slept, how I do my daily routine and other things that friends share with each other like their favorite foods and how to make it.
After maybe 10 or so minutes of him listening to me, I somehow talked my way into talking about how I got my tanned skin. Really, it's a very interesting story.
"that's why I'm so tan! Oh yeah, speaking of ta- mhhpprrhh!"
After I just finished explaining how I got my tan to be so prominent, he suddenly gets his chopsticks and forces them into my mouth with some food of his: rice, veggies and egg.
At first I was shocked for a while but the feeling of being fed felt so good. It wasn't like how mom sometimes feeds me where it keeps on hurting my mouth.
The chopsticks never even touches the roof of my mouth or my gums, making it seem like I'm eating it with my own hands.
I soon calm down seeing his gentle face and he takes his chopsticks and puts it back into his- wait!
'Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God!!!'
I just realized what we did...an in-in-i-in-in-...indirect kiss!!! Oh my God!
He used his own chopsticks and...he is using them without wiping them with a tissue!!! Ahhhh, how lewd!
While I'm freaking out on my own, Min-chul turns his head to look at me and tilts his head like a curious puppy asking what their own is doing.
'Don't stutter! I can't stutter now or else he might realize that we just did an indirect kiss!'
"A-a-a-a-a-ahh...is something w-wrong? W-w-w-w-why a-are you l-looking at me l-like that? Aheheheeee..."
.....nailed it! I totally nailed it!
I'm sure he doesn't suspect anything with my A+ acting. Hmmmm, maybe I should become an actress in the future...
Yeah! I'll tell mom that Min-chul helped me decide my career as well as became my first school friend!
(MC POV)
Yeah, alright. Something is up with Ji-woo.
Her cheeks are so flushed that I can see it through her dark skin, her speech is suddenly very twitchy and her stuttering is quite severe. Is she embarrassed or nervous?
Did she do something wrong?.....DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG!?!?!
No no no no no no...I did everything to plan and it should have worked on most women: listen, smile and feed. I fed her my own food too.
Unless....
'Feelie. Is she a lesbian? Tell it to me straight!'
[huh? Are you stupid? How the hell would I know? And plus, if she was lesbian right now, the mission would be an impossible mission, you bovine]
'Hmmm, I guess that's true...'
Still wondering what her sudden outburst of emotions is about, lunch suddenly ends and we now have to go back to class. This is very confusing.
'...I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!' (Min-chul & Ji-woo)
(Somewhere in nowhere)
Unbeknownst to both of these youngsters...well, one youngster and a balding middle aged man pretending to be a youngster, they are in the middle of an immense misunderstanding.
This is the typical driving force for a 2nd rate manga and if written well enough, a hated 1st rate one. Will these two come to an understanding? Keep watching to find out!
"Waaaaa, that was a great episode, no?"
"Uhuh! Thanks for introducing this to me by the way, Marikopa!"
"Ahhaha! As I said, my big brother knows best!"
Up in the air somewhere, two very attractive, slender and divorced women are watching their favorite TV show...well, I guess they are just stalking a mortal but you get the gist.
"Oy Oy Oy! I understand the slender and attractive, but divorced? Would you like to divorce your head from your body?"
"Author is getting cocky, isn't he Chrysopa?"
"Indeed, indeed Marikopa"
As the two sisters agree on my disposition, I'm sitting here, comfortable and knowing that if they hurt me, a slightly lower being, their mother will punish them severely.
"Guh! What a low blow!"
You divorced, reality TV show watching, wine sipping, ice cream eating sad, sad woman.
"GRAHHHH!!!"
Just as Chrysopa starts charging up her power, koppa and their mother walk in. Koppa, being the oldest, was the most powerful and could manipulate the mortal world.
Their mother is the strongest and Marikopa is right behind koppa with Chrysopa in dead last.
""Oh! Brother!""
"Huh? Oh, hi....were you watching that project of mine again?"
"Yup! It's super interesting!"
"Project?"
As Marikopa was praising the TV show she was watching, their mother butts in the conversation and rightfully asks what this project is.
"Oh mom! It's about th- mrrpphhhmmm!"
Koppa quickly dashes over to cover up his sister's mouth so their mother doesn't find out about this project of his. Yes, he isn't killing mortals anymore but he is still intervening quite a bit.
"Mother! Ehehehe...wouldn't it be better for you to hear it from my own mouth rather than Mari's?"
"Uuuuu...I guess so"
Both of koppa's sister understand what's happening and why he did what he did. Even though they would love to rat him out, they can't.
No koppa intervention means that they can't watch this interesting TV show anymore.
It really brings back the nostalgia of their great great great great grandfather telling stories about the mortal world when he was still a wee little cultivator.
"....AK! Ahhhhhh!!! Help hel- I didn't do anything...yes!...o-o-okay mommy, thank you"
'Ahhh, he got his ass beat'
'He won't be able to sit for a couple of decades now'
Just another day in the sky somewhere in nowhere...
