Regression Of The Dating Sim Player - CH 55
26. Rest (3)
‘he didn’t have to…….’
Ye-Hyeon, who was upset, hurriedly changed his mind.
No, there’s nothing wrong with getting close to Kwon Joo-Ho.
Ye-Hyeon forced the corners of his mouth. When he closed his eyes slightly, a plausible smile was completed.
“Hello, Kwon Joo-Ho.”
Kwon Joo-Ho lowered his head slowly. Unlike Yoon Seung-Jae, who hugged him as soon as he met him, it was an awkward and distant greeting.
Watching from the side, Yoon Seung-Jae tapped Ye-Hyeon ‘s arm for no reason. When he turned around, Yoon Seung-Jae smiled.
“Hyung, what about the new armor?”
“I sent it to the accommodation.”
“Why aren’t you wearing it?”
“Just because it’s annoying.”
“I wanted to see what you bought.”
Yoon Seung-Jae looked very happy today. After a while, he smiled and dragged Ye-Hyeon ‘s wrist.
“Hyung, did you eat lunch? If you didn’t eat, let’s eat. There’s a good restaurant close by.”
Looking at Yoon Seung-Jae’s face, he thought he should say that he didn’t eat lunch. It was a relief that he skipped lunch because he was lazy.
Ye-Hyeon shook his head and moved along with Yoon Seung-Jae. Kwon Joo-Ho also followed behind quietly.
Yoon Seung-Jae took him to a shabby restaurant with no sign stuck in the corner of the alley.
How did Yoon Seung-Jae know this place?
Ye-Hyeon raised his eyebrows. This was a famous restaurant that only a few people knew. It was a great restaurant. There were many regulars since they had various menus at a reasonable price. Ye-Hyeon was one of them.
He has a lot of friends.
Whether it was a training camp or a camp, it was clear that he must have heard from someone he had gotten close to.
Unlike the old exterior, the interior was surprisingly wide and well-managed. It was a little late for lunch, but there were quite a few people.
“Kwon Joo-ho, sit inside.”
Ye-Hyeon slipped away so that Kwon Joo-Ho could enter.
“Isn’t that cheesy?”
As Yoon Seung-Jae sat in a chair, he suddenly cut both front and back and spoke.
“What?”
“Calling someone by their name.”
“That’s because you’re still young.”
Ye-Hyeon carefully swept Yoon Seung-Jae’s hard-trimmed hair so it wouldn’t get messy.
“I’m always young whenever I want to do something. I’m not that much older than you. Now I’m much taller than Hyung.”
Yoon Seung-Jae grumbled, biting his lower lip.
“Aren’t I still taller?”
“Wow, bro. You insist. Then measure your height right away.”
“I don’t want to.”
Ye-Hyeon, exchanging jokes with Yoon Seung-Jae as usual without thinking much, belatedly glanced at Kwon Joo-Ho. He didn’t mean it, but Kwon Joo-Ho was so quiet that he sat in front of a person and looked like he was being ostracized.
Kwon Joo-Ho had an indifferent face that didn’t know what he was thinking. He thought he could finally read some facial expressions, but today he couldn’t understand.
“Wait, I need to go to the bathroom. Order a lot of anything.”
“Uh…”
He was never happy to be left alone with Kwon Joo-ho.
However, he said he was going to the bathroom, but he couldn’t hold onto Yoon Seung-Jae or keep up with him. Ye-Hyeon squinted one eye as he looked at Yoon Seung-Jae’s back as he moved away.
In contrast to other noisy tables, there was a heavy silence between Ye-Hyeon and Kwon Joo-Ho.
“Well.”
Ye-Hyeon quickly flipped over the fluttering menu while coughing for no reason.
“Is there anything you can’t eat?”
Kwon Joo-Ho, who was looking at Ye-Hyeon, lowered his eyes slightly.
“Since you don’t have it. Bulgogi and dakgalbi here are delicious. Should we order this one?”
As he entered the store, he pretended to be there for the first time, but he was nervous and said what was delicious. Ye-Hyeon smiled awkwardly.
Kwon Joo-Ho was looking straight at Ye-Hyeon.
“Then two of those and…… Do you eat spicy food well? I’ll add this one, too. Seung-Jae and I can’t eat spicy food well. Oh, should I not make you eat it?”
Ye-Hyeon, naturally choosing the menu one by one, felt uncomfortable at some point and paused.
·…Wait. What can they talk about?’
Kwon Joo-ho did not nod but only moved his eyes around. Kwon Joo-ho, who expressed his intention with it, and he who understood it, seemed to be abnormal.
“What about drinks? Then I’ll just order.”
How are they able to have a conversation?!
He was speechless even as they talked one after another. Kwon Joo-Ho did not feel anything strange, so nothing changed. Ye-Hyeon faced Kwon Joo-Ho after finishing the order in consideration of the amount Yoon Seung-Jae eats. When Ye-Hyeon closed his mouth, the silence came back.
What if they don’t talk forever? He won’t get a deadly disease if he spoke to him, but why is he doing that?’
Ye-Hyeon gulped down water because he was burning inside. When he put down the empty glass, Kwon Joo-Ho poured water.
“Oh, thank you.”
Ye-Hyeon fiddled with the back of his neck, saying thank you in a daze.
He’s not such a bad guy that he can’t even deal with.
Ye-Hyeon looked carefully at Kwon Joo-Ho. As usual, he was uncomfortable with his gaze, but he didn’t feel as unpleasant as inside the dungeon.
Does he have any grudges? But it doesn’t make sense to stare at it all the time.’
From the brightness of the light, the distinct features looked clearer.
Ye-Hyeon was looking at Kwon Joo-ho’s nose bridge and unwittingly touched his nose bridge. When he looked at Kwon Joo-ho, his stomach hurt for no reason.
“Excuse me, Hunter Kwon Joo-ho.”
Ye-Hyeon hesitated for a while and took a deep breath.
“Would you like to call my name?”
He was going to force his mouth. He was angry that the first word from Kwon Joo-Go’s mouth was an apology, but he didn’t want him to say anything monumental.
As expected, the name is the easiest.’
Ye-Hyeon licked his lower lip. It is said that the first time is difficult, so once you start talking, it will be easier next time.
Kwon Joo-Ho’s eyes shook slightly as if he had not expected him to demand it so openly.
“If you have any complaints about me, I’d like you to tell me. I want to get along well with Kwon Joo-Ho.”
Ye-Hyeon hesitated. He is good at talking about things he doesn’t like to others, but he is quite uncomfortable because the other person is Kwon Joo-ho.
Ye-Hyeon stared at Kwon Joo-Ho’s lips. His lips slowly opened.
“Yes…”
“I’m here.”
Just as Kwon Joo-Ho was about to call Ye-Hyeon ‘s name, Yoon Seung-Jae suddenly returned.
“Yoon Seung-Jae…”
Ye-Hyeon couldn’t bear to get angry and clenched his teeth.
“Why? What were you two talking about?”
Yoon Seung-Jae alternated between the two with an innocent look.
‘He could finally say something. If only you didn’t come.’
Kwon Joo-Ho closed his mouth like a clam again. Ye-Hyeon gave up quickly because he didn’t want to rush him.
The meal was good.
“I think Shin Do-Gyeom’s personality is really weird.”
Yoon Seung-Jae, eating fried rice diligently, grumbled as he put down his spoon.
“It’s probably Shin Do Gyeom.”
“Why are you not calling him Hyung?”
When Ye-Hyeon slightly corrected it, Yoon Seung-Jae raised his eyes.
“You know that Do-Gyeom and I are the same age, right? Are you going to call me like that too?”
“Can I do that?”
It was a scolding, but Yoon Seung-Jae asked back, twinkling his eyes. Ye-Hyeon burst out laughing because he was out of energy.
“Do you want to?”
“Come on.”
Yoon Seung-Jae murmured inaudibly.
“What’s your ideal type?”
“Huh? Out of the blue?”
Yoon Seung-Jae’s conversation topic sometimes took a lot of work to keep up with.
“Hmm. I’ve never thought about it.”
“Think about it now, then.”
Ye-Hyeon rolled his eyes awkwardly.
Ye-Hyeon had no ideal type. He had never liked anyone, and even if someone confessed to him, he didn’t think about dating seriously.
Yoon Seung-Jae was not going to back down until he heard an answer.
Ye-Hyeon smoothed his earlobes. Yoon Seung-Jae’s affection should not rise further, so he was going to talk about conditions that Yoon Seung-Jae did not apply.
“Someone…”
He was going to say “someone older,” but his eyes met with Kwon Joo-Ho. Kwon Joo-Ho may not think it was him, but it was a little embarrassing.
“Someone of the same age. I think it would be nice because the same age is like a friend and comfortable.”
“Same age? What about younger people?”
“Younger ones are a bit…”
“You don’t like it? Why?”
When Ye-Hyeon blurted out the end of his words, Yoon Seung-Jae raised his head and asked clearly.
“Just.”
“What is it?”
Yoon Seung-Jae’s cheeks protruded convexly as if he was annoyed by the insincere answer.
[system] Target 4: Yoon Seung-Jae’s affection increased by 1 point.
“No, Yoon Seungjae.”
Ye-Hyeon’s lips twitched because she was frustrated.
“What?”
Yoon Seung-Jae’s expression as he turned around was unusual. Somehow, there seemed to be flames in both eyes.
‘If I say no, do you get more excited?’ Ye-Hyeon sighed.
“Come to think of it again. I don’t think younger people aren’t bad either.”
“Right?”
Yoon Seung-Jae smiled broadly as if he had been waiting.
[system] ‘Target 4: Yoon Seung-jae’s affection increased by 1 point.
He is doomed.
It seemed to be a trap problem that increased the level of affection by one point regardless of which option to choose. He answered twice to avoid it, and the affection had gone up twice.
<target 4: Yoon Seung-Jae>
Intimacy: 18
Affection: 20
He was careful, but in the end, two points were added to Yoon Seung-Jae’s affection level .
He feels like he is going to get in trouble.’
Ye-Hyeon quickly felt better and shook his head, looking at Yoon Seung-Jae, smiling.
