Chapter 5 – Learning Is Pork Cutlet-2

“Senior Sohee! I don’t think I have your number, could you give it to me?”

While doing so, he held out his phone to the demon king.

Mawang looked at the phone held out to him and ate the tteokbokki again. Hwa-dae waited for the king to finish chewing and swallowing the tteokbokki, and the king looked up at the king and asked.

“Why should Jim do that?”

“Yes?”

His eyes widened as if he was embarrassed to be rejected. Yuri tried to leave the place by leading the arm of the hype.

“Ha Jun-ah, let’s go. The professor came quickly.”

“No, though. Wait a minute, Yuri.”

He easily released Yuri’s arm and held out the phone to the demon king again.

“Senior, please don’t do that, give me your number. Yes? You didn’t give it to me the last time we met.”

“Why should Jim do that?”

“Uh, well, since we’ll be going to MT in a while, there might be something we need to contact when we go.”

“Then ask the student council room. Can’t you tell me exactly where? And Jim has no intention of going to MT.”

“I heard you participated last year.”

“Last year, it was because there was no one as persistent as you. Come on, let’s see this. Isn’t your ‘girlfriend’ waiting for you?”

Demon King emphasized the word ‘girlfriend’ and gestured toward Yuri. The glass she pointed to was standing next to the overseer, frowning at her. Realizing that her demon king was watching her, he glared at her and spoke in her ferocious tone.

“Senior, we are busy, so let’s go. Sorry.”

Then, I took the bowl of ramen that was sitting next to me and left first. She walked with her heels on the ground, a habit she’d had since childhood, when she didn’t like something.
Her hysteria followed her, looking at her glass expressing her annoyance with her whole body, her hurried talk.

“Senior Sohee! See you later. OK?”

The Demon King waved his hand with an expression of whether or not he was exaggerated. It wasn’t a goodbye with the meaning of seeing you again, but an action like chasing a flying fly. When the hype left, she started eating tteokbokki again. When she entered the restaurant earlier, I noticed her displeased look.

“Excuse me.”

“Why is that?”

“Are you familiar with him?”

“It’s an acquaintance, something, nothing! He’s just a nuisance, that guy.”

“Then what did you meet earlier?”

“I was going to find out about the lectures that the first graders are taking, but he approached first. We broke up knowing only what you were listening to, but every time we met like this, he asked for my number, which is annoying.”

“What is my lecture about?”

“Shouldn’t we check to see if your memories are back!”

“Wait a minute, but how did you know I was in another world?”

“If a guy who used to be dull and dynamic suddenly changes his eyes overnight, something must have happened.”

It’s an oriental eye. It was the first time I had heard such a thing.

Anyway, the important thing now was not my eyes, but the demon lord’s state of mind. After the gwadae talked to me, I was splitting the cheesy tteokbokki rice cake with chopsticks with a pouty face like that.

“The cheese hardened because of him!”

“Ah, don’t do that. Eat this.”

He handed me something I hadn’t eaten and left over from my plate to help me feel better.

“Why are you handing pickles! Jim wants meat!”

“No, if you ate earlier, that’s enough! Don’t just eat meat, eat vegetables too!”

“Why are you acting like a mother!”

“Do you have a mother?”

“… Are you arguing with Jim?”

“No! Not that!”

Since he was a demon king in his previous life, he thought he was living an unusual life even now. As she did, she forgot that she could have a mother.

When I told this, the demon king stopped cutting the tteokbokki rice cake and said. Still, the pink lips that protruded went in, as if the mood had been relieved to some extent.

“Jim is no different from you. Like everyone else, my mom and dad are there, and I have a younger brother with a bit of an age gap. She used to be a demon king, but now she’s just an ordinary female college student.”

She’s too pretty for an ordinary college girl. The way he talks is also bizarre.

“Didn’t I tell you before? The past is the past and the present is the present. Let go of past memories. In that sense, I give you this.”

As she said that, she picked up a piece of rice cake with red tteokbokki sauce and put it on my pork cutlet plate. Why do you do good things? Thinking so, she took a fork and took a picture of the gift the demon king gave her.

Oops!

“Hey! It’s not a rice cake, it’s a green onion!”

If I had picked it up with chopsticks like the devil, I could have eaten it without realizing it. Thanks to the fork, I noticed that it was a large onion by the touch.

The Demon King shamelessly responded to my words by eating fish cakes.

“When did Jim say he would give you rice cakes?”

“Give me green onions as a gift!”

“The contents are not important in a gift. The meaning contained in it is important.”

“That’s true!”

At her speechless words, I stopped talking and chewed on the green onion she gave me.

“How is it? Do you like Jim’s present?”

“I like it very much, I like it very much!”

“I never thought I would accept Jim’s favor so fiercely. Jim is thrilled.”

“If you’re that thrilled, eat this.”

“Ah! Don’t pass the pickles!”

“Are you ignoring my favor?”

“You can ignore pickles!”

After passing the pickles to each other like that, I agreed to eat them instead of the devil giving them fish cakes. When each of them ate half of what they ordered, the demon king opened his mouth first.

“Hey, are you close friends with that girl?”

“Who, that one?”

“That guy’s girlfriend.”

“Oh he. I’ve known you since I was little.”

“Is that girl the one you like?”

“Uh, how did you do that, no, it worked.”

I remembered telling the demon king about glass right before he died. He said something because he thought he was going to die, but he didn’t expect it to happen like this.

“Do you still remember what I told you then?”

“Of course, isn’t it? Jim’s only friend told me.”

“Know that your one and only friend is deeply regretting it now.”

“Keep in mind that you may have more regrets later.”

“What?”

I stopped to eat the last piece of pork cutlet and looked at the demon king. The Demon King was also looking at me with the bowl almost empty.

“Didn’t you learn how to see people to some extent in your previous life?”

“I did learn. I didn’t learn because I wanted to learn.”

“Then, didn’t you realize what kind of person the exaggeration was? Yuri is a guy who shouldn’t be with a girl.”

“… What do you mean?”

“I speak as a life senior who has lived 52 years in the previous life and 21 years in the present life.”

“Wait, were you a 52-year-old woman?”

“Don’t stop talking. Haven’t you been taught to listen carefully when people are talking? Anyway, I’ll tell you as a senior in life. That Ha-joon is an exaggerated guy, a guy who really knows how to get to know women.”

“So?”

“It’s not like that! A guy like that is a vicious guy who seduces women and plays with them as he pleases, then throws them away when he gets tired of them!”

I’ve definitely heard such a story. According to this guy who went to the same high school, he changed girls so much that he even came to school with a police car. But I was more concerned about other things than that fact.

“Wait a minute, but have you ever had a boyfriend or a lover?”

“It’s okay, but it wasn’t there.”

“You’re a parent too, but you’re pointing out something like that.”

“No! The demon king’s feelings gained from meeting and talking with countless people so far!”

“She said she’s an ordinary college girl now.”

“Isn’t that what Jim meant? Why are you talking like that when you know it well!”

“Turn what? I.”

“Doesn’t he still like a girl named Yuri? Do you want to see the girl you like get hurt?”

I was speechless at what the demon king said.

I? Do you like glass? She was a girl I liked for 7 years but didn’t accept my heart. Of course, there are things like that because I didn’t confess, but I didn’t bring up the story of meeting my boyfriend for such a long time. On that subject, he said that he was sad that he hadn’t told me that he was acquainted with the demon king.

I told the demon lord that, but she just kept repeating the same thing.

“Isn’t it right to like it! She’s just faking it because she doesn’t like seeing her with other guys! Do you know that That your eyes are different when you look at a woman named Yuri and when you look at Jim?”

“Because it is not. I’ve forgotten everything now, and I just see it that way because it’s my first love.”

“If love is forgotten over time, is that love? Admit it, I still like you.”

“Seven years have passed. 7 years! Of course I forgot! Besides, I was married in my previous life.”

“It was an arranged marriage after all!”

“There were some feelings!”

The demon king and I faced each other and kept our mouths shut. I tapped the tray lightly with the fork I held on nervously. She moved her fingers and made her move. But this uncomfortable silence did not last long. The demon king suddenly started to laugh.

Suddenly, I looked at him wondering if he was crazy, and the demon king said.

“I’m sorry, I suddenly laughed. Kuk-kuk-kuk.”

Then he showed me what was so funny, holding his stomach, lowering his head, and laughing with his shoulders shaking. By the time you start to feel bad,

“Sigh, oh, I’m sorry. Actually, this was a dream. Arguing with a friend.”

“What?”

“This is the first time I’ve talked to someone so passionately. Both in the past life and in the present life.”

He laughed a little more then spoke again.

“I apologize again. I’m sorry. I don’t know if I can achieve my dream in this way. I’m so sorry.”

Unlike before, the apologetic Demon King looked very soft. Seeing her smile like that made me feel a bit relieved.

“No, that’s fine.”

“Thank you for forgiving me. Now, I will say it for the last time.”

The demon king looked at me with a serious expression. He didn’t have a ferocious face like when they were arguing earlier, but a face that was trying to choose his words carefully.

“If she is left like this, the girl will be greatly hurt. It will be a much bigger wound than she has ever received in her life.”

“So.”

“It doesn’t matter if you still think of that girl named Yuri as an unrequited love, or if she just thinks of her as her first love. But not my bet. If you let her go, knowing that it will hurt her, you will regret it. She will hurt you as much as she hurts you.”

Hearing her words, I was lost in thought. Rumors I had heard before said that the hype guy was famous for making women cry. Besides, even though he was still dating Yuri, he tried to get a job from the demon king. Even in front of the glass.

Combining what I heard and what I saw, it seemed that the demon king was right. But at the same time, I also had this thought.

… Wasn’t the reason Yuri was hurt the price she chose?

Match!

“Ruler! Let’s talk serious about this!”

I woke up to the sound of the demon king clapping. She spoke to me with an exaggerated tone and expression unlike her serious words.

“How about we talk about something else now?”

She must have said it because she thought of me seriously. But even so, there was no reason for me to be involved in her choice, and she pretended not to know for the sake of the demon king who tried to help me.

“What are you talking about?”

“As far as I know, Jim has a lecture at 1:00.”

“That’s right.”

“And isn’t there a lot of free time in the evening?”

A mischievous smile bloomed on the demon king’s face when he said that.
