Episode 66. absolute stability (3)
It was good that you liked it.
It’s good, but what is this? I wondered if the effect of the pondris pheromone was applied too much. Then again, I should tell you right now.
“Guest, I have that unavoidable constitution. Because of my nature effect, you may feel unusually likable about me. So if that makes you uncomfortable… … .”
This time I shake my head.
Are you a guest you don’t like to talk about?
“Does that mean you’re okay?”
The guest nodded.
It’s the same with the mask and the fact that I don’t have a voice. Are you really a shy guest? Fortunately, he didn’t seem to feel any pressure on me.
‘Anyway, this guest. Something looks familiar.’
Is it because of the mood?
I wanted to ask where you hadn’t met, but I decided to hold back. To someone who wanted to hide his identity, such a question was clearly rude.
“I’ll treat you like a friend from now on. Are you fine?”
Nod.
“I’m treating you like a friend, so please be comfortable with me too.”
At those words, the customer’s ears pricked up slightly.
“… … .”
“huh?”
The customer poked my left hand with his index finger.
What does it mean? As I watched, the customer made a gesture to pretend to hold my left hand.
“… … ?”
Then he lifted his head and looked up at my face.
‘aha. You want to hold hands.’
This was a rather subtle request.
According to the manager, the customer wanted the feeling of a normal friendship.
‘Has there ever been a case of holding hands and walking between male and female friends?’
If you think about it, you can’t say that there is absolutely no. Because these types are often different depending on the situation.
“good. Then let’s go hand in hand.”
When I held out my hand, the guest took my hand after hesitating for a moment.
I don’t know if I’d rather catch it without hesitation. My heart was pounding for no reason as I secretly held it with the feeling of a young lover who had just met.
Anyway, this guest. Even though she was wearing a mask, she could clearly feel her unique beauty.
“?”
The guest who felt my gaze tilted his head. If you roughly interpret it, it means why you stare at it so hard.
“no. I’m wearing a mask, but what the heck… … . Just by looking at the silhouette, it seems like a beauty.”
The guest suddenly lowered his head. Seeing that his ears were red, he seemed to be a very shy person.
I don’t think there’s any reason to hide your face, but why did you cover it?
‘No. Rather, it is correct to think the opposite. Did he cover it up because he’s handsome?’
Among the counseling types, clients who are stressed by interpersonal relationships. I always give them various advice, but in fact, I had no business in front of my good looks.
Is there any reason to say that if you are good-looking, everything is forgiven? Even if you are clumsy in interpersonal relationships, if you have a nice and pretty appearance, it is the power of beauty that turns even that clumsiness into a charm.
‘Sometimes I just want to do that. There are times when I want to put down my strengths and live a challenging life.’
Whatever.
Whatever the intention of the guest, I had an obligation to do my job faithfully.
“Is there anywhere else you want to go?”
dory dory.
“Can I lead on my own?”
Nod.
I had a rough plan. It’s because the manager of Rental Friend didn’t just force you to do it on your own.
‘There’s a dating course dedicated to Signal that is used by countless couples on campus.’
Of course, what I have to direct is a friendship, not a lover. Even so, the fact that couples use it means that the entertainment is guaranteed. It was worth trusting and employing.
I said, holding her hand and gently pulling it.
“Then shall we go?”

Time goes back a bit.
The time when Kim Do-yoon passed out from the Halo recoil while trying to leave the Chunseong training ground early in the morning. Pyo Yu-rim was perusing the tablet containing his memories.
‘It’s noisy outside.’
Through the window, she heard the buzz of female students, but she lightly ignored it.
Now was not the time to care about the outside. Because there were more serious problems than that.
‘What face will I meet with Mr. Kim Do-yoon from now on?’
The awkward atmosphere with Kim Do-yoon at the Septagram Lab lingers in my mind.
I tried to somehow resolve the awkwardness. I will take care of the child of fire Kim Do-yoon was carrying with me. It was my intention to naturally narrow the distance that had grown apart in that way.
‘It has become a difficult situation to speak out because I missed the timing… .’
But should I come and approach him as if nothing had happened? Yurim Pyo shook his head.
I definitely felt it through this work. If we continue to maintain this kind of relationship, we will run parallel to each other forever.
Kim Do-yoon was worried about him and seemed to try to distance himself, but Pyo Yu-rim hated his attitude. I wanted to instill the awareness that I don’t have to worry about myself.
“ah!”
That moment.
Pyo Yu-rim recalled the goal he had forgotten for a while.
Homework given by Kim Do-yoon. An offer to join your circle if you make three friends. Originally, he had intended to join the circle and be by his side a little longer.
‘If I make three friends and go, Kim Do-yoon might see me again.’
As per his request, I will carefully hide my identity, make three good friends, go to him, and shrug my shoulders.
Pyo Yu-rim snorted with a determined expression.
***
Let’s make friends.
It was good that his thoughts had reached that point, but the ordeal he had to overcome was a mountain beyond a mountain.
‘I got the mask somehow… … .’
First, you need to hide your identity. Because of that, Yu-rim Pyo remembered the mask that Do-yoon Kim had received from Chae-hwa Seol at the research institute the other day.
As there was a schedule to visit her and give her strength, Pyo Yu-rim was able to get an extra mask from Seol Chae-hwa after completing the schedule by visiting her.
The problem was the following.
‘tremble.’
Even Kim Do-yoon, the person he most wanted to be by his side, always emphasized naturalness and approached it carefully. Because he is a person I like, I have been working hard while feeling that level of motivation.
How is it now? You have to approach and become friendly with strangers. Motivation was also weak, and it was difficult to save even the naturalness she always values.
What should I do. After thinking about it, Pyo Yu-rim contacted Seol Chae-hwa again.
“that’s interesting. You, who had a hard time contacting me once, contacted me twice a day.”
“I want to practice making friends. Is there anything I can do to help?”
Seol Chae-hwa knows a lot. We weren’t close, but we had a lot of conversations about contracts recently, so it was relatively easy to ask.
“You’re demanding it all the time… . Well, then why don’t you try a role-playing service? There is a store in Signal that provides such a service. You can also request it through the school app, so check it out.”
If you give them money, they will become your practice partner. Pyo Yu-rim shook his head slightly.
‘You look fine. I’m still scared of the real battle, so it’s better to find someone who will give me money and be sure to practice with me.’
So, while checking the campus app, I found out that there was only one store Seol Chae-hwa mentioned.
“Then shall we go?”
back to the present now.
I came to a situation where I was holding Kim Do-yoon’s hand and walking down the signal street.
‘what? why? Why is Mr. Kim Do-yoon here?’
Both of Yu-rim’s eyes turned round and round.
I wasn’t nervous at all, but this situation that I suddenly faced was so fatal. My heart hurts. It was painful, but for some reason it was a pleasant pain.
‘You can’t get caught. If I get caught, I won’t be able to lift my face in front of Mr. Kim Do-yoon for a while.’
To practice with the person who gave him homework to make three friends. In this ridiculous situation, she could hardly calm down easily.
“… … They say it was built The person who was the chairman of Signal Squadron, uh!”
Was it like that?
Pyo Yoo-rim, who was lost in thought, did not realize that Kim Do-yoon had stopped for a moment to explain while looking at something.
“ah.”
A small sigh leaked from her lips, which she had been keeping tightly shut for fear of being found out. As she kept going, she didn’t want to let go, so she unintentionally pulled the arm she was holding tight.
and.
The image of him losing his balance and falling toward him started to look slow, like in slow motion.
‘Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Contrary to the impression that he looks reliable, his physical strength is weak.’
I don’t think he pulled very hard, but he was dragged helplessly like this. Pyo Yu-rim tried to display his natural nature as he had ingrained habits while thinking such foolish thoughts.
‘right. If I use magic, they’ll find out I’m me, right?’
I hastily withdrew the power of nature that I was trying to use to sustain him.
prison.
“town?!”
The result was as you can see.
Kim Do-yoon buried his face squarely in Pyo Yu-rim’s chest. The time that had stopped in that state was really, at most, less than a second.
“Mi, sorry! I didn’t mean to do that on purpose!”
Startled and widening his distance, he raised both hands and begged for forgiveness.
Dori Dori!
Pyo Yu-rim also vigorously shook his head, not to be outdone by him.
‘Why is Kim Do-yoon apologizing when I pulled him and almost fell over?’
An embarrassing atmosphere. Kim Do-yoon scratched the back of his head, slightly averting his gaze.
How is it?
Thanks to this strange coincidence, I was able to resolve the sadness of not being able to meet him even though I wanted to meet him. Pyo Yu-rim was happy with that alone.
“Ugh… .”
… … As soon as I thought about it, a liver falling situation occurred. It was because Kim Doyoon suddenly grabbed his forehead and frowned.
restlessness.
Pyo Yu-rim waved his hand around at him.
“no. No big deal. It was just a brief headache.”
If it was someone else, I would have thought so and moved on, but the opponent was Kim Do-yoon. He was a person who returned to Signal with blood all over his body until this morning.
Although the physical recovery may have ended soon because the times have improved, there was no other way to stabilize the mental recovery.
tight.
“what’s the matter?”
Dori Dori!
Pyo Yu-rim shook his head while holding Kim Do-yoon’s hand with both hands.
‘You can’t overdo it. You need to rest.’
Would this kind of heart have been conveyed to him?
“Are you worried about me?”
Nod!
Kim Do-yoon smiles bitterly.
“It’s nice to be worried, but I have to work. I don’t know the exact amount, but I heard you spent a lot of money. I have to work hard to play the role of a friend so that they don’t think it’s a waste.”
I don’t really care because it’s money that remains in my bank account. Kim Do-yoon’s health is more important than those pieces of paper.
Those words reached the end of Pyoyu-rim’s throat, but soon after realizing the reality, he returned with a sullen expression. Unfortunately, there was an obvious limit to conveying this meaning with gestures alone.
‘ah!’
At that moment, a genius idea flashed through Pyo Yu-rim’s mind.
If you can’t speak, shouldn’t you convey your meaning through writing?
Excitedly, she took out her phone… … I put it back and took out my notebook and pen. I had shown my cell phone to Kim Do-yoon the other day, so I was afraid of getting caught.
‘thank god.’
It was a writing tool that I always carried around like a habit to record my current memories and future action guidelines, even temporarily, when I lost my smartphone or tablet. I never thought that would shine in a situation like this.
[You don’t have to worry about money. Please don’t overdo it.]
He showed Kim Do-yoon the scathing letters in his notebook.
“I see. Thank you for being considerate.”
It didn’t stop there.
Even if I said this, it was obvious that this person would try to do his duty somehow. Pyo Yu-rim eagerly looked around, and eventually found an empty bench.
swish swish
kook kook kook.
He pointed to the bench with one hand and pulled Kim Doyoon’s arm with the other.
“You want to rest already? Did you just meet?”
square square.
[I’ve been waiting for a long time. Let’s take a break for a while.]
“Ah, my… … . You made me wait too long I had no sense. I should have come earlier than the scheduled time.”
When Kim Do-yoon made a downcast expression, Pyo Yu-rim screamed inwardly.
what about this It was just an excuse to sit on the bench, but I didn’t expect this kind of reaction. She panicked not knowing how to deal with it, but eventually her brain was overloaded.
“What! Now wait! I’ll walk on my feet! I walk on my own feet!”
Once I went to the bench, I thought I had to think about it, so I started taking Kim Do-yoon recklessly.
Kheung!
After sitting him down on the bench like that, Yurim Pyo, who snorted, also sat down next to him.
It was good until there.
[Your complexion doesn’t look good. What happened today?]
Until I heard the answer to the regards I casually took out to take care of myself while sitting still.
“ah… . That’s it. Mmm. It sounds like something to break the mood, is it okay?”
[You don’t notice that kind of thing between friends.]
“It’s not like that. Being friends is a relationship where you can freely share your inner feelings with each other.”
[I said it before, but please treat me comfortably.]
Kim Doyoon scratched his sideburns and said.
“Actually, I overworked myself on important things yesterday. Maybe because of that, I wrote the wrong character this morning and passed out right away. Where are you? When I opened my eyes, it was a health room. hehehe.”
“… … !”
Dalgrak.
The notebook and pen he was holding in his hands rolled down to the floor.
