Chapter 5 – Episode 5 – Protagonist

Sunday morning was bright.

“Okay, I slept well…….”

After waking up, I stretched out coolly and checked my phone.

[ Sunday, AM 08:21 ]

“Phew.”

Fortunately, I didn’t oversleep. I set the alarm for 9 o’clock just in case, but it didn’t seem like anything to write about.

‘It’s finally today.’

Yesterday morning.
After I finished my part-time job and got the items through the Heroine app, I experimented with various things.

What I experimented with was mainly the effect of items.

I experimented by going out to a cafe and trying candy myself or drinking water to see how strong the effect was and how it worked.

After drawing up a route on how to go on a date through him, I sent Yoo-jung’s older sister a detailed time and place to meet via KakaoTalk shortly after lunch.

There was a possibility that the effect of the candy would suddenly decline, so I was nervous, but fortunately that did not happen.

“The appointment is at 11 o’clock. It’s still a bit relaxed.’

I laid back on the bed and imagined my schedule for the day.

Date at 11.

Strictly speaking, it was just a simple promise that I would buy food, but the meaning was different to me.

If you do well today, you’ll be able to kiss.

When I turned my head to look at the desk, there were several heart-shaped candies, a tube that looked like a toothpaste tube, powder in an envelope, water in a small water bottle, and even a lipstick-shaped laser stick.

These were all items prepared for today after completing the experiment yesterday.

“Great. Can do.”

I passed the time watching videos on Me Tube on my phone for a while, and woke up in bed a little after 9:00.

After a tight shower, I picked out what I thought looked best and put it on.

Then, he put the items he had prepared in advance into the small bags one by one.

‘ … It seems like a crime to pack things like this.’

As I put things in, I suddenly thought of it and laughed.

‘No, hmm… Maybe it’s a real crime?’

I do not know.

Actually, it’s a magical item from a mysterious app, so maybe the ingredient could be something like a drug.

It could be that he was trying to seduce an unsuspecting woman through a strange drug.

A little fear came over me at the thought of something I shouldn’t have done, but I shook my head.

“If I said no, I should.”

A mysterious app that I had only seen in novels came to me.

Maybe this could have changed my life 180 degrees in the future. After all, the most important thing is myself. Let’s put aside things like ethics for now.

‘ And if there are any side effects… It must have been written on the item effect.’

Having convinced myself like that, I opened the door and stepped out.

When I got on the bus and arrived at the meeting place, I checked the time.

The current time is 10:46.

I arrived a little early, but it would be better than arriving late.

After waiting for about 10 minutes in front of the meeting place, I heard a voice from behind.

“Hello, Jinhyun. Did you arrive early?”

When I turned my head and looked behind me, I saw Yoo-jung’s older sister smiling.

‘Wow…….’

The moment I saw my sister, I couldn’t shut her mouth.

It was a face I saw almost every day, but I only saw it briefly during shifts, so seeing it dressed like this gave me a new feeling.

My sister was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and light gray jeans in a gradation from light orange to white.

Overall, it was a fashion that evoked a refreshing summer vibe, and the perfume was also scented with a soft and sweet orange scent, so it was refreshing.

It was a fairly simple and casual outfit, but she looked incredibly pretty because her face and body were so good.

I’ve seen many pretty girls, but it was the first time I’ve seen such a pretty up close because of an appointment to meet just the two of us.

When I see my sister, I suddenly get nervous, and I wonder if I can do well. I started to feel a little less confident.

Noona was very pretty to anyone’s eyes, but I felt normal.

‘No. Let’s not be nervous.’

I shook my head inwardly.

Okay. It’s not about whether you can do it well, it’s about doing it well.

By giving up and retrying the quest yesterday, I used up all my remaining retry opportunities.

If you don’t succeed today, and there is no progress for the remaining 6 days, the quest will fail and there will be no further quests to proceed.

‘And maybe… There are no quests to go through.’

What if you can no longer use this mysterious app?
Just thinking about it was terrifying.

‘It can’t be like that.’

I relaxed and smiled in response to the greeting.

The preparation was perfect. All that was left was confidence.

“Yes. Arrived a little leisurely. I can’t be late again.”
“Put. That’s right.”

Sister Betsy said with a laugh.

‘It’s late…….’

I got the app for the first time and tried this and that, but I was late. Thanks to that, I was able to make a cause and meet like this, so from my point of view, it was a good perception.

“So I’ll buy you something delicious today.”

I naturally smiled at my face and moved to the first place.

“Where are you going to eat?”
“You will find out when you go.”

I walked down the street with my sister.

Because it was Sunday, it was crowded.

Many couples walked the streets arm in arm, and thinking that I was walking down the street mixed with those people in my own way made my shoulders feel heavy. Even though it’s nothing now.

“Arrived. Here.”

Standing in front of a building, I pointed to the third floor of the building and said. The signboard read ‘Luma Shabu’.

“Hey. Shabu?”
“Yes. Do you not like it?”
“Ugh~ It’s just a surprise. I thought I would go to a place like a pasta house.”

Definitely hit the right track.

I also thought about going to a western restaurant to eat at first. I took a chance at best, but it was a bit like eating hangover soup, and pasta was a decent place that anyone could think of.

However, there was another reason for choosing this place.

“Then shall we go in? I have a reservation.”
“Yes. Great. I like shabu-shabu, and that’s great.”

We took the elevator up to the third floor. The entire third floor of the large building was a shabu-shabu restaurant.

“How old are you?”
“Two people. I have a reservation.”
“What is your name?”
“This is Cheon Jin-hyeon.”
“Yes, I checked. We will help guide you this way.”

A person in neat clothes showed me to a seat by the window.

Luma Shabu was a famous shabu shabu restaurant in its own right. It was popular mainly with young people, and one of the secrets of its popularity is that it is buffet style.

If you order shabu-shabu, you can eat the salad bar for free.

“Sister. What would you like to eat?”
“Ugh. What do you like?”
“I’m buying it for you today as an apology, so noona chooses according to her taste.”
“Okay. So… Let’s eat seafood!”

I pressed the bell to order seafood shabu-shabu, and then we got up from our seats and brought something to eat from the salad bar.

“I’ll eat well, Jinhyun.”
“Yes.”

After eating shabu-shabu, we each brought dessert when we were full.

I brought ice cream, and Yu-jeong brought fruit, slices of cake, and coffee.

While we were eating each other like that, I glanced at each other and stood up.

“What will you bring me?”
“Bing demand.”

I smiled and said, and moved to the side where the shaved ice was.

‘Whoa…….’

I stood at the place where the shaved ice was and looked at Yu-jeong. My sister was eating fruit while looking out the window.

It was fortunate. I was thinking of the right timing, but it looked like there was still room for something in the ship.

When making a reservation, I deliberately reserved a seat by the window in the corner.

From the seat, it was difficult to see the salad bar, especially where desserts such as shaved ice were placed. I knew this Rumashab well because I had been there several times with my friends.

“It was this.”

I took out a bag and a tube of powder from the bag.

This was the reason I chose Luma Shav.

‘Great.’

I made a simple shaved ice for myself, and then started making shaved ice for my sister.

Ice cubes, red beans and condensed milk are added. I decorated with some injeolmi and jellies, and finally sprinkled the powder in the bag and started to squeeze the tube.

‘It will work out.’

The powder was candy powder obtained by crushing the candy obtained through the heroin app, and the tube was the syrup I made myself yesterday.

It was made by mixing the existing strawberry syrup with melted candy obtained through the Heroine app.

One of the contents I experimented with yesterday at a cafe was that the effect is applied even if you eat the candy as it is, but the effect is applied safely even if you mix it with something by making powder or melting the candy itself.

The most important thing is to consume about 1 candy.

If an amount equal to 1 candy was consumed, the effect was safely applied to the target looked at while consuming that amount.

‘I almost confessed to a part-timer.’

I smiled bitterly as I remembered what happened yesterday.

Of the remaining 12 candies, 5 were used in the experiment, and the cafe was chosen as the place for the experiment.

It was a place where you could eat something without moving for a long time.

Sitting in a cafe, I set a female part-time job student with the most ordinary face and body as the first target, just in case, and experimented while looking only at her. It was shaken

‘I didn’t know that the candy’s effect would overlap.’

When I ate one, I only felt a little attracted, but even though her face and body were normal when I first saw her, I felt very excited after eating two candies.

I thought it would be dangerous to eat any more, so after that, I continued the experiment while looking at other people.

‘It’s done.’

I looked at the finished shaved ice.

The powder sprinkled on the shaved ice was made by grinding one candy, and the syrup sprinkled on the shaved ice was made by melting and mixing two candies.

It was a work with a total of 3 candies, but I did not aim for the effect of 3 candies.

‘I’ll probably leave it. I would like them to consume just two servings.’

In fact, the simplest way is to just give candy, but if your liking for me changes every time you eat candy, you might have doubts.

Naturally.

In order to give the effect of multiple candies as naturally as possible, mixing them into food was the best way.

So, with sweet desserts and customers preparing their own food, this buffet-style Ruma Shabu was the most suitable place for me.

“Here you go. My sister also made it.”

I returned to my seat with the shaved ice and placed regular red bean shaved ice in my seat and shaved ice sprinkled with sugar powder and syrup on my sister’s seat.

“Yes. Thank you.”

My sister replied with a smile, and immediately took a bite of the shaved ice.

I swallowed and watched my sister eat the shaved ice.
