Chapter 165 – Episode 165
With her mouth shut, she ran away to the bathroom.
「Tak, shoot!」
As soon as I closed the door, I washed my face and checked the mirror.
Crazy… Anyone who saw my bright red, bloodshot eyes could tell that I cried.
“Ha, I’ll spin.”
I don’t really need to pee or poop, but I just can’t bring myself to leave the bathroom. I felt like I was going to get embarrassed, really.
Am I crying while writing a novel? And that while writing a web novel?
“Oh, fuck…”
I held my face in my hands and walked back and forth in a small bathroom with a musty smell. My heart was pounding with shame and embarrassment.
“Huh.”
After exhaling a few times, the excitement subsides to some extent.
I muttered while looking in the mirror.
“It’s fun.”
If only I hadn’t looked so embarrassed at the end, or if I had just written alone at home, I would have been more satisfied.
5,500 characters at most.
I really felt a lot of emotions while writing that article. The gloom I had at that time, the regret and sorrow I felt for my pathetic appearance, and even more so, how embarrassed and excited I was when Ohana came to my studio apartment without warning.
Lastly, I was able to realize again how much I have been saved and how grateful I am to the women I am currently living with, including Ohana.
“…”
I was embarrassed, but I felt relieved because I shed tears.
“Writing is amazing.”
These were feelings I always felt vaguely or vaguely. As I wrote it down, a clearer outline began to emerge, and before I knew it, those emotions were rising from within.
So, I didn’t even know I was crying until Song A-young asked me. It just felt like my eyes got a little warm.
“Huh, let’s put that aside for now.”
When she returned to the classroom, her head started pounding just thinking about Song A-young’s reaction.
I shook her head and tried to change the direction of my thoughts.
‘Web novels are great too.’
Until I experienced this myself today, should I say it was a preconceived notion?
I had the feeling that in the case of web novels, it might be a bit different compared to pure literature. I couldn’t help it. Because ‘web novels’ were not included in the education I learned when I was young.
Humans are animals that think based on what they have learned, so what can we do?
In fact, I am still not sure.
“Web novel, web novel…”
It’s definitely amazing.
From what we see in news and articles, it is no longer their own league that only a few people know about. Nevertheless, I still felt a bit reluctant to confidently tell Aebom Han that I should turn to her web novel.
‘What will you do if you fail?’
This was the biggest obstacle. It’s not just me, it’s the same for everyone.
Fear of failure.
Not just anyone else, but Han Ae-bom, who trusted me, so I turned to web novels. I invested all my time and effort into it, but what if the only result was memories for masturbation?
Because of Aebom’s personality, there was no way she could blame me, so she was even more terrible.
‘As a result, it was my choice, so there is no need for Hyunwoo to feel guilty or sorry. In fact, I think I’d hate it even more.’
… I will say that. It was obvious even without looking.
But, aren’t you, sorry! Don’t you feel guilty?
I ruined someone’s life, and since it’s not my life, you should have taken care of it.
… I was not a human being who could say that.
“Sweet, hoo.”
But I also know that I can’t just run away. Because I am not a child.
There is no risk-free choice in this world. In every choice, whether small or large, there is a risk. Unless someone tells me what the correct answer is.
Obviously, it was like that…
[Tiring!]
[Quest has been given.]
I guess my case is a little different.

All the thoughts and emotions that were messing with my head flew away in an instant.
What filled my empty head instead was an unbearable amount of dopamine. Is this how it would feel for a person who had been losing all day at gambling, but later hit a huge jackpot?
I was so happy and excited that it felt like firecrackers were exploding in my head, so much so that my eyes stung for no reason.
‘Once you taste something like this, you will never be able to escape it.’
I think that was written on a blog posted by someone who has been gambling for over 15 years.
I strongly sympathize.
I have already gotten rid of the mindset of not being swayed by things like this. I realized through several experiences that this was impossible. It was a moment I had hoped for and hoped for even before registering for the academy.
That moment came directly to me at an unexpected time.
[Let’s persuade Han Ae-bom to write a web novel]
[0/1]
[Reward: 1 million won, stamina +1, strength +1, warm hug skill]
The moment I saw the message that appeared before my eyes, all the agony that had been bothering me melted away like snow. I felt like I was completely refreshed.
‘Whoa, that’s really crazy.’
I understand why many rulers keep people who are good at solving problems by their side. They say stress is the root of all diseases. When the problem was solved in this way, the stress was relieved.
‘Even if you leave everything else aside. Han Ae-bom was right in choosing to write a web novel.’
There was no doubt that this quest was wrong. However, there is a high probability that it will be correct. The batting average shown so far was trust.
At least if I follow this quest and fail, I won’t be as distraught as I was when I was the only one who did it earlier. If the situation arises, you can make an excuse for the quest.
‘This is why people should have room to make excuses.’
The weight is different, the weight.
That is why bullying like Oh Hanam, who tries to block every pore, is cruel. Well, in my case, I don’t think I can get there because of Han Se-ryong…
I shook my head. I didn’t want to ruin my current mood by remembering that creepy guy.
Besides, a quest was given. Because I didn’t complete that quest.
The quest ‘Let’s persuade’ was given. It looks like Han Ae-bom doesn’t particularly feel like writing web novels.’
If I think about it carefully, I thought it must have been worse than mine, not less.
I think good of her because she’s the girl I like. If you take away the pods, Han Ae-bom was also a very stubborn and stubborn woman. It’s not easy to persuade…
“Hmm.”
When I thought about having to break down Abom’s stubbornness, I let out a faint groan, but it was still much better than being confused about her direction.
「Squeak!」
I left the bathroom with a light heart. And the moment I returned to the classroom, I had to face memories I had forgotten.
“Huh, Mr. Hyunwoo! You can cry! “I was so surprised because I thought he had gone home and not come back because of that!”
Ah. Fuck…
Come to think of it, I cried while writing a web novel and ran away to the bathroom. I was so excited about the appearance of the quest that I forgot about it. I was about to wipe her face from the shame rising again, but Song A-young grabbed my hands with all her strength and shouted.
“From what I see, Hyunwoo is talented at web novels! No. Regardless of his talent, if he learns it even as a hobby, it will definitely be useful! For example, if you get a job at a company and do a light side job in your spare time, you are guaranteed to make a decent profit…”
“Ah, teacher.”
I spoke confidently.
“I’m done writing the web novel now. “I got the direction right.”
“… Yes?”
Song A-young opened her eyes round when she saw me, who had changed 180 degrees and said I had to go to the bathroom. Then she cautiously opens her mouth.
“You were very embarrassed.”
That’s not it.
*
With the help of the quest, I shook off my hesitation and had no hesitation in my actions.
“Teacher, if I want to stay at the academy longer, can I stay longer?”
“Ah! Sure. Maybe it’s another class. Ahem! Hyunwoo is alone in the weekend class for the web novel lecture, so he can stay until night! “If Hyunwoo is there, I can confidently stand in the classroom.”
“Okay. “Then can you help me?”
“Yes? If a student asks for help, as a teacher or instructor, I can’t help but provide it. What can I help you with? “You’re not going to write a novel, are you?”
“I will tell you one by one, so please sit down at the computer next to me.”
Wow, this time I turned on Song A-young’s computer and pulled out her chair.
“Ah yes…”
As if the roles of teacher and student were reversed, Song A-young sits down on the chair carefully, shaking.
I spoke while neatly cutting and pasting articles related to web novels into PowerPoint.
“Could you please look into the novels related to my brother to see if there is anything that would touch my heart? “It would be better if I could cry after reading it.”
“Like Hyunwoo cried earlier?”
“… Yeah, whatever. “I can’t ask for anything more than that.”
When I answered in shock at the unexpected surprise attack, Song A-young chuckled and smiled cheerfully.
“Hehe, I’m sorry. Mr. Hyunwoo… The reaction was so cute. Oh, do you hate being called cute by men? “I like it.”
“… ?”
What kind of reaction do you want from me?
I really didn’t know, so I looked at Song A-young, and when she saw what I was seeing, she patted her full C-cup breasts and said,
“Eh, ahem! Just trust me. If it’s a novel about my brother, it’s usually romance or romantic fantasy. I’m also good at this kind of thing. A novel that even stirs emotions? It’s rare to see these days. But, as an expert in lopant, I can find it!”
“Ah yes…”
“It’s possible because it’s me! Because it’s me!”
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
I gave a vague response and tried to concentrate on my work, but before I knew it, Song A-young was hanging on my arm, puffing out her cheeks.
What is this again? If she were another woman, I wonder if she would seduce me with skinship because this person might have ulterior motives for me. The Song A-young I saw was not that kind of woman.
“Please react with some sincerity!”
“Waaah!”
She couldn’t help but applaud and cheered, and only then did she find Song A-young, looking through her novel list with a satisfied smile.
You’re the type of person who depends on people’s reactions.
I understand a little bit why Song A-young became a novel writer. At the same time, I feel like I can understand why someone who likes people’s reactions so much stopped writing novels and became a lecturer here.
Well, just because what I think is right, there’s nothing I can do about it.
The only thing I could do was support.
“Come on, let’s do our best! Power!”
“Aja, aja! Fighting!”
Song A-young, you can overcome anything.
Cheer up.
「Crash, crackle!」
As I worked hard to create her presentation materials, I once again cheered on Song A-young. Just by looking at what she had seen up to this point, it was clear that Song A-young was a good person.
If I had had some free time, I might have acted a little more recklessly.
Sorry. We’re desperate here too, so we don’t have time to look elsewhere.
[Final version_Last_Really final version. Pdf]
The file was not completed until Sunday night.
I held my breath as I looked at the completed file. Even if I search through my entire life, I can’t find any presentation material that I think contains this much sincerity and doesn’t have any shortcomings. Nevertheless, I don’t think the tension and fear will decrease.
There was nothing I could do as the opponent was the opponent.
Monday afternoon.
As if it was natural now, I opened my mouth while looking at Han Ae-bom sitting in front of the computer.
“Mr. Aebom, please talk to me.”
