199. Escaping the Sewer23

He sent a note to the library. It reminded me of my laziness in reviewing the past few days, so I studied more intensely than usual.

‘Achieving a great job is important, but don't miss out on studying. Not everyone who tries succeeds, but no one who succeeds is lazy. ’

He believed in the power of effort.

I was convinced that studying was the area where results would come out, especially as much as I tried.

‘It's not wrong to have a bad head. Blaming your parents for not receiving the blessing of the gene is foolish. But failing to try is clearly my fault. ’

You don't have to be smart to study well. Though it would reduce time and increase efficiency, he believed that the lessons were more important in studying.

"Perseverance, only perseverance. You don't need to rush people into doing it in an hour. If you do it in two or three hours, it's the same thing. ’

Taun completed his retrospective with a terrifying concentration. When I came out, the sun was falling on me.

“Ah! I think I'll live. ”

I felt like I could live out here just breathing the frustrating air in the library. I looked at the clock and I sat down in the chair for almost four hours.

What, is it time already? Why didn't you tell me? ’

[I didn't want to interrupt. You have great stamina, by the way. I can't believe you won't go to the bathroom once.]

‘That's my style. There were times when Lee Jungwoo didn't wake up for more than 10 hours. ’

[You must be from a national level.]

A kind of pride? ’

Like what?

‘I lost my head, but I won't lose as much as I try. ’

[Ha. That's cool.]

I was going to smoke a cigarette at the smoking station, and someone called out for a lesson.

“Hey, Lee Dou Hoon! ”

“Molded.”

It was the holy water that held us together first.

“What are you doing stuck in school at this hour? ”

And he said, "Oh, thank you. ”

To the holy water who lights the lighter, Taun bites his cigarette and approaches.

“I'm studying forensics. I can't play in third grade. Wait, did you just come down from there? ”

Holy water points to the death squad library. The area was mainly a gathering area for students using libraries.

“Yes.”

“Did you write the report? ”

“No, I studied. ”

“What?"

“Appointment. Let's review the class. ”

“Hehe, already? ”

Of course, I did not have any students studying in the second grade.

However, it was very rare for a military man who had been in the library less than a week after his first week of school.

“You · · ·, were you serious? ”

“Yes?”

“I want to be the head of the death squad. ”

“Of course.”

“That's amazing, kid. Just turn around. ”

“Why?”

“Come on.”

As he turns, holy water rushes through his hair. The holy water that was far behind said.

“I don't think he went to the army and hurt his head. · · ”

“Oh, come on, man. ”

“Haha. Some people say you've hurt your brain badly and changed your personality. Just in case.”

“Do you think I changed my personality? ”

He asked with a meaningful expression.

Seeing that he hung around a lot before the original owner joined the military, he was afraid that he might be the most sensitive and sensible of his changes.

Seong-soo said while smoking cigarettes.

“It's changed a lot. ”

“· · Where are you going? ”

“You're a grown man. I thought you saw the birthplace of the first-ever infantryman of the underworld, Puhaha. I'm not a med student! ”

Fortunately, Seong-su seemed to only feel the change of discipline as if he had ‘been in the army and sober up’. It was fortunate for him in many ways.

“Haha. You can't be a student forever. It won't be long before graduation. ”

“That's some insight I've had in my life. ”

Sharp pointing of the holy water made me hot.

“I don't think so. Besides, I don't think I'll get the chance. ”

“Why?”

“I have to go to the army twice. ”

“Well, now that I think about it, I can't do that either. Hey, but don't just study. Meet a girl. ”

‘I'm already seeing a lot of people. ’

“Is that so?”

“You're a popular freshman. I bought some first-graders some food. ”

“Who?”

“Who was it with? And two boys. ”

“No, I know the names of green and red. Why do boys have guitars and so on? ”

“Do you even know my name when I say it? ”

“Well, that's true. I don't know any of my neighbours. ”

“Anyway, when I asked the first-graders which of our seniors was the most popular, they all took pictures of you. ”

“Really?"

‘I don't care if it's green or white. ’

“Even boys like you the most? ”

“A man? I don't have that kind of taste. ”

“No, he's just athletic and handsome. You want to be like him? Anyway, you're adapting well. I was worried about myself.”

He knew that he had asked second-grade overachievers to adjust to his school life. I was thankful for the words of his heart.

“Thank you for taking such good care of me. ”

“What else is there to take? Hey, do your hair, by the way. ”

“A haircut?”

“I heard you grow too much hair. You never got out and cleared your head, did you? ”

“Maybe?”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. You Do you know when a man listens to you? ”

‘My soul already hurts. ’

“When?”

“When I went to the Blue Club without going to the salon because I didn't have enough money. ”

“What's wrong with Blue Club? It was cheap and tidy. ”

“Huh. You're almost there, Zeke. College students dye, pajama, whatever, Shagicuts, Dandy Cuts, or two blocks. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. ”

“Anyway, get a haircut for the weekend. Man's got hair. Look at you. You look like Beckham. ”

The holy water swept its head to the side.

It was a gesture to emphasize the soft Mohican style that slightly cut the middle, but it only looked like he was cutting sport hair.

“Oh, yes. ”

“There is no soul in this answer! ”

“Oh, yeah, you think it's the rebirth of Beckham? ”

“Hey, Beckham's still alive. Don't go snooping around like a normal person. ”

“I see.”

“Ah, it's time again. I'm gonna go study some more. ”

“Your brother. I'm going to go exercise. ”

“Yes. I'll give it to you later. If you get bored on the weekends, wear a shovel. ”

“I don't have time. I have to get back to the county. ”

“How come? ”

“Teaching assignments. ”

“Ha, that's a tough assignment. Well done.”

“Yes, brother. ”

When I saw the holy water heading back to the library, I thought of the lesson.

‘As expected, he's a good boy. Stay close. ’

Then I shrugged my head.

“But do you really need a haircut? ”

* * *

“What? You didn't show up? ”

“Yes. Sonmi or Trainer · · for household matters. Would you like to reserve a spot for Group PT? I heard you'll fill me in on the missed calls for the weekend. ”

Heh. I heard it's a big day.

I went to the gym for a long time, but it was the day Mina missed work.

“No, I have work on the weekends. I'll just come back next week. ”

“Yes, sorry. ”

The allowance must have been good, and I decided to apply for a group PT, but I had to postpone it for the next time. Without Mina, I couldn't even feel like exercising. After finishing the shower, I left the gym.

I suddenly remembered what the holy water said while walking home.

You need a haircut, by the way.

A haircut.

I don't have time for a job tomorrow. Should I cut it today? However, it was late one evening and it was difficult to find a salon that was open.

After wandering the alley for a long time, I could find a small local salon. Opening the door, a woman wipes her hair from the floor.

“Are you operating? ”

“Oh, it's closing · · ·. ”

Shit. The store closed down nine tries ago.

The woman turned to regret and asked.

“Are you cutting? ”

“Yes, just tidying up. ”

The woman looked at the watch and called me back in.

“Come on in. We'll be closing the deal somewhere else. ”

“Oh, thank you. ”

The inside was cramped because it was a local salon.

There were only two barber chairs, and the waiting couch in the back was also a triple shot of synthetic leather.

‘That's a little shabby. ’

I sat in a chair and looked in the mirror at the hairdresser's face.

A mature woman who looks like she's in her late 20s if she's in her 30s. Dark makeup on brown dyed hair made it look older than my age. She was not a very subtle beauty, but she seemed to have a vague look in her eyes somewhere.

“What about style? ”

“I've never been discharged and organized. I just need you to tidy up a bit. ”

“Ahang.”

As I kept talking, I could not help but say a few words.

She immediately let go of the horse.

“Are you a college student?”

‘What? When did you see me? ’

I was a little offended, but I was always like that.

“Yes.”

The hairdresser looked at my face blatantly, wrapping a nylon curt bow around my neck. The gaze is somewhat burdensome.

“· · · You're handsome. ”

“Yes?”

“No, he's handsome. ”

I'm sure it's a compliment, but I don't feel so good.

Do you think it's because he's being sarcastic? A rose-shaped tattoo appeared on the inside of her wrist as she rolled up her sleeve while trying to shoot you.

‘Huff. What is it? A tattoo?

When I saw the tattoo, my body shrunk unconsciously.

Men, too, but I think the people who exposed the tattoos must have had a rough life.

The hairdresser sprayed water on his head.

“About two months since you got discharged?

“Yes. How did you know? ”

“My hair is messed up. This is what happens when kids you don't learn in the army push you with a barley can? ”

“Ahh · · ·. ”

“He's a handsome face, and he does a lot of hair care. ”

“Haha. Yes. ”

I kept hearing the rebuttal, and I felt frustrated by my original personality.

Why, you know, comforting a man.

Rectangle

The hairdresser started to scissor without hesitation. The foam of cutting the head between the fingers seemed like a skilled technician.

“Where have you been? ”

“Yes?”

“No, you said you were a student. Where is college?”

“The nature-state.”

“Oh, it's been four years. Did you study well? ”

I don't know why it makes sense that I studied well for four years, but I nodded quietly.

“I went to college. Beauty department.”

“Oh, yes. ”

Even though there was no answer, the hairdresser kept talking to her. I couldn't tell if I was talking to guests in my job or if I was personally curious.

“Do you have a girlfriend? ”

“Yes?”

“Sounds like a lot. ”

Is it written on my face?

“Does it look like it? ”

“Yeah. He's handsome, he's not bad-looking. ”

When did you see your body again?

“Nothing. I just got back from school. ”

I'm not lying.

Lots of women, but not officially.

“Hmm, that must be hard to bear. ”

“Yes?”

“No. Should I bash his side of the head in? Or do you want me to save you a cruet? ”

“You're on your own. ”

As I listened, the level of conversation was unusual.

You're a regular and you're throwing too much at new guests.

Rossi, what do you think? ’

I don't know.

At that time, the shop door opened and a middle-aged man shoved his head.

“You're in business?”

“No, this is the last guest. ”

“Well, there's nowhere to open the door. Copy that.”

The hairdresser stepped out and put scissors in his pocket and said, "Wait a minute.” and started blinding the window. Even the open sign flipped inward. She pulled out the outwardly sealed fire code and came back to me.

“I'm cutting my hair. I keep getting customers. No one's coming anymore. ”

‘Hmm. It feels good somehow · · ·. ’

[Initiating intuition?]

‘Maybe I was just mistaken. ’

[If you're curious, check it out. There hasn't been any affiliation or mission so far, but just in case.]

Okay, bring up the info window. ’

Soon an info window appeared on the smartphone, but there was no way to confirm because his hand was hidden under the curtain.

[I will read to you. Name Hwang Sun-young, 31 years old. The current preference is 64 and the rest of the information is not confirmed.]

‘I'm not that high on likability, but is he naturally the spillful type? ’

[How to improve my appeal · · ·. I recommend you become a shopkeeper.]

‘It's not enough to attack because I'm a regular. There are no other rewards. ’

There are so many women.

Of course, the first woman I saw was the most attractive, but I didn't want to lose her.

[How about you try a new skill?]

Izzie? ’

[Yes, and check skill performance.]

"Oh, that's a little tempting. How do you use it? ’

[Think about what you want to do and cast your skills, and you will have two options. Each option can simulate results.]

"Simulate results"? I can't feel a thing. ’

[Let's try it first. It's going to recharge tomorrow anyway.]

"Yes, with practice. ’

I imagined the situation of picking up Hwang Sun-young in a salon in my head. And Izzie Sunda's skill was executed. After a while, Rossi said,

[There are two options available on the current display. Shall I read it to you?]

‘No, it's my first time. I want to see how it comes out. ’

“Sis, can I see your message for a second? ”

“Phone?”

“No, I'm tied to a smart watch, so you can look at it. ”

I turned Kurt Bo over and pulled out the smart watch.

The display said:

KB: I slip my hand between her legs.

KB: “Do you have a girlfriend? ”

What is this? ’
