Chapter 11: Target (1)
Huh? What?
「The target for this mission is the glasses woman.」
What do you mean? A mission all of a sudden?
「The original mission occurs randomly. If you succeed in the first mission, you’ll be given “Information Window Skill” and 200 bonus points. Do you accept?」
What if I don’t accept?
「That’s fine. There’s no penalty for rejecting the mission. However, since missions occur randomly, you won’t know when there’ll be another mission once you reject this.」
According to the watch’s description, up to three missions can be stored at a time. In other words, if there are active missions, new missions cannot be activated until the previous missions are cleared.
I was put in a difficult situation.
I’ll think about it for a moment.
「You have three minutes and 42 seconds left to accept the mission.」
So fast?
「The mission must be decided within five minutes. 」
It’s an information window skill. It should be a very useful skill when trying to attract women in the future. I immediately made a decision right away.
Great. I’ll take my chances.
[Mission accepted. The remaining time you have left to complete the mission is displayed on the window screen.]
I looked at the watch and a window screen visible only to me appeared.
“What? Only a week?” Without realizing, my thoughts escaped my lips.
[The time limit for this mission is one week.]
What the? Are you trying to kill me?
[This is Lee Jungwoo’s first time seeing her, but Lee Dohoon has know her for over a week.]
Ah, that’s right… I’m a part-timer… I’m Lee Dohoon…
[The mission starts now. You can check the remaining time left through the window screen.]
Great…
The rewards are a huge boon but the time limit is too tight. At present, the only thing I know is her name, and the biggest issue is that our working hours do not overlap.
Judging from the phone call with the boss, she finishes work between 10 am and 6 pm. I’m in charge of the later hours. In other words, the only time we could meet was about that small window to settle the bill; it was only 10 minutes. I would have to gain her trust and sleep with her within a week under such conditions.
Does she like me?
[That I do not know. I can only understand human relationships through the memories of Lee Dohoon. I have no memories of her liking you.]
Damn. What sort of mission is this?!
Dissatisfied, I left the warehouse. Suyeon was tidying up the messy shelf.
“Oh, you’re back? I’ve prepared the settlement for you. Please go check,” she said.
I nodded. “Yes, sure.”
I checked the cash and the monitor screen as she told me. It was my first time working at a convenience store; I had to act naturally. I couldn’t look awkward.
I glanced at the clock and saw it was past 3:30. I have about 30 minutes to find out more about her. I don’t have much time.
“Umm… how are you?” I asked.
“Oh, I’m fine. My eldest sister is getting married. She’s having the wedding at my soon-to-be brother-in-law’s house today. Ah, I also got the wrong date and gave the boss the wrong password.”
“…I see.”
I found out a bit about her family. Her older sister was getting married. They must have a big gap in their age. I should find out more.
“Do you only have one sister?”
“No, I have a second older sister. Ehehe… I think I’ll be a bit sad when she gets married. She took care of me a lot.”
“How far apart are you guys in age?”
“We’re eight years apart.”
She was the youngest of the three daughters. She must have had a happy childhood growing up. I should find out if she has a boyfriend.
“If your sister is getting married, don’t you want to get married too?”
“Oppa! That’s too much…!”
“…What?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask if I have a boyfriend first?” Suyeon said with a slightly shriveled face.
So she doesn’t have a boyfriend. My heart is burning with happiness.
“Ah… sorry. I thought Suyeon already has a boyfriend. I mean, look at you. You’re very beautiful.”
“Ah… don’t say anything more…”
Though her words said otherwise, a smile bloomed on her face. After all, men and women liked to be praised.
Moreover, she’s the youngest of her siblings. This type of person would grow up receiving lots of love and would tend to accept the other person’s generosity naturally.
“Haha…” I rubbed the back of my head. “You really are beautiful. I thought the same too when I first saw you. Aren’t you popular at school?”
“Oppa, don’t say that… also, I’m in the liberal arts department. There are hardly any men.”
“Ah! That’s a problem. I’m sure that if your department had many male students, they surely would never leave you alone.”
“Oppa, you can’t say stuff like that.”
With my repeated compliments, she began to think of me positively, and slowly, she grew curious of me.
“Oppa, aren’t you popular too?”
“Me?”
“Oppa, you’re handsome and you have a nice body…”
Oh, she’s looking.
I think I’ve found her type.
People have their taste. Some prefer the body of a man more than their face, and vice versa.
“Does Suyeon like guys with a nice body?”
She had a slightly perplexed look, but her expression had revealed the truth.
“No, well… that’s not necessarily true, but isn’t it better than having a beer belly?”
“I suppose. I have a good body too.”
