Chapter 15: 15 An Unexpected Encounter
The second morning in the novel.
I didn't have any particular thoughts.
It felt similar to the first week after enlisting in the military when I couldn't get my bearings.
[Yoo Sujin]
>Taeyang, are you awake...?
>We didn't decide where to meet ㅠㅠ...
>Let's meet in front of the academy gate at 12
>Don't eat beforehand! Let's have lunch together!
I saw messages on my phone.
>Yes, senior
After replying briefly, I got up from bed.
The full-length mirror in the same position as yesterday.
"Status window"
One difference is that this time I'm opening the window on my own?
---------------------------------=
[Name] Baek Taeyang
[Physical] Height: 183cm / Weight: 95kg
[Description] !)(*&$'s place to @$%%, must @$(!_$@(Updating information.)
[Main Skill] Coercion (???)
[Sub Skills] Dignity of the name 'Sun' (A), Virgin Bomber (SSS), Cleanup (F), Eye-licking Gaze (B), Playboy's Memory Method (B), Strong Hit (A), ??? (???), ??? (???)
---------------------------------=
"What is this?"
The description that should have been about four lines long had changed.
It said something about updating information and someone's place, but I couldn't read it.
It's been a barrage of question marks since yesterday.
To think that the description and two skills are marked as unknown in what looks like a short status window.
Is the novel losing its mind because a character that wasn't supposed to appear is running around?
Since it wasn't an issue to just sit and think about, I decided not to think about it anymore.
If it could be resolved by thinking calmly, the skills should have been visible long ago.
"The biggest problem now is my date outfit..."
I had no suitable clothes to wear.
With only uniforms available, I couldn't go on a date like this.
"I guess I'll make buying my clothes part of the date course."
Planning a date course was easy, having done it once or twice before.
I changed into my uniform and went out.
Current time 11:30, thirty minutes before the date was polite.
+++
There are no coincidences in the world.
This is also a life principle my father emphasized.
"Huh?"
When I came out of the dormitory, I saw Glasses Fatty.
"Ah... what..."
I thought I saw wrong and rubbed my eyes, but he was still there.
He looked exactly like the face I met in that damn white space.
I followed his gaze to see what he was staring at, and he was looking at the main entrance of the girls' dormitory.
If he were looking through a cafe window, he might not be suspicious, but he's leaning against a nearby tree and openly staring.
How should I describe this, anger? It was ambiguous. Because he was extremely calm.
He didn't lose his reason and come running while shouting.
I'm not stupid enough to miss a suddenly created opportunity.
There are characters who grab someone from behind and say "This way!", but at least I wasn't one of them.
I slowly approached, moving behind Glasses Fatty.
What if he runs away? Should I hit him as soon as we meet? Should I take off the bracelet?
Countless worries filled my brain.
I bit down hard enough to grind my molars.
'But why should I hold back?'
With each step closer, my fingertips started trembling.
In my head, I thought the first button should be undone through conversation for a clean finish.
My body didn't follow my head.
Even though it had only been one day, although I hadn't suffered any hardships or humiliation, still.
'Is leaving one note such a big sin that it deserves this?'
I felt wronged.
If it's thought to be malicious, you can sue, why suddenly this.
[Strong Hit activated! Strong power dwells in your left hand!]
I thought about hitting the back of his head, but the chances of him dodging were high.
I'm aiming for the lower back, to properly shatter the spine area and paralyze his lower body so he can't escape.
The countless experiences of hitting and thrusting remain in the body, perfectly supplementing inexperienced actions.
I've never properly hit a person, but this wasn't Baek Taeyang's body.
As if pushing the ground, power rises from the toes.
The slightly twisted waist and tilted upper body are smooth like one motion.
The upper body naturally retreats while extending the fist, and the fist is planted right into Glasses Fatty's waist.
Bang!!!
"Wh-what! Who... who are you...!"
No, I thought it had hit.
At the moment it was about to touch his lower back, an invisible barrier blocked my fist.
'Tch, a barrier...'
Moreover, the repulsive force was no joke, if I had hit any harder, all the bones in my hand might have been crushed.
"What? Who? Don't you remember me?"
Does this guy have no guilt?
Putting a well-living person into a novel and pretending not to know?
Glasses Fatty really had an expression of not knowing.
He looked at my name tag on the uniform, was greatly surprised, and suddenly started muttering.
"Baek Taeyang, I certainly... I shouldn't have described him in the book... H-how... Who is it..."
"It's Lee Taeok, you bastard!"
I thought I could hold it in, but I finally exploded.
Of course, it would be correct to say I couldn't hold it from the moment I extended my fist, but I had resolved not to swear at least.
If violence didn't work, I was planning to resolve it through gentle conversation...
Everything turned to bubbles.
"You say you're Lee Taeok...? That can't be... It can't be..."
Seeing him suddenly lost in thought in front of a person, my body naturally heated up.
I wanted to plant a big one in his solar plexus, but he would surely block it with his tricks.
"Somehow... suddenly not being observed..."
"You crazy bastard, stop muttering to yourself and get me out of this novel!"
At those words, he looked at me as if suddenly coming to his senses.
Will he hit me again? After staring with such eyes, his expression turned to relief as if remembering the protective barrier.
"Even being able to see me... an error has occurred..."
"Hey, are you even listening to me?"
Am I talking to a wall right now? Honestly, I expected things wouldn't go well.
But I never imagined communication would be impossible in this way.
I thought he would at least give a hint about returning, saying it's impossible to go back.
'This bastard is just muttering to himself...'
After spouting incomprehensible sounds, he suddenly opened his eyes wide as if something had struck him.
"I... I need to go"
"Where are you going, no, get me out! Did I do something that wrong? Honestly, I didn't! You wrote such crappy writing because you're a virgin loser, why are you doing this to me!"
Glasses Fatty finally looked at me straight. Whether he heard my words or not, his face was red like before.
When he said he was leaving, I tried to grab him, but the invisible barrier blocked me again.
All sorts of words just burst out.
There were swear words mixed in, but I think I spoke as calmly as possible to convey my emotions and situation.
"I don't know... I really don't know... And... y-y-you crazy bastard, you did wrong first! Why are you doing this to me! I'm hurt too!"
Making a sound like a pig being slaughtered, Glasses Fatty disappeared before my eyes. It happened in an instant.
The meeting and parting happened in the blink of an eye. What the hell is this? What did I gain from this encounter?
It felt empty.
After spouting nonsense about narration and observation, it felt so empty that I couldn't even hit him once before he disappeared.
I became resentful of myself for not taking off the bracelet, as if I had already adapted to being in the novel.
No matter what, even if I couldn't control it properly, I should have hit with maximum output...
"Ha... haha...."
A hollow laugh came out. My legs gave out and I slumped against a tree.
Yeah, there's no way I could get out this easily.
In fact, I hadn't missed out on much.
I had no preparation and suddenly rushed in to try to get information, that was the entire plan.
I knew it would fail, but I didn't know I wouldn't be able to get anything at all.
"Really, fuck..."
I could understand why characters in novels try to complete the story rather than thinking about escaping.
There's no immediate means to get out, so they just try to fix the story and see what happens.
But that wasn't me. I've only read the prologue, chapter 1, and the latest chapter, so how could I fix anything more?
Quests don't link immediately after clearing them, but only appear in specific situations, and I don't even know what those specific situations are.
The only message was to look forward to it.
"This is driving me crazy..."
"What is?"
Oh, startled, I turned my head to see Sujin.
The fluttering beige dress with a pink cardigan was a combination reminiscent of a spring maiden.
Her stockings were sky blue, and because the skirt was short and the stockings came up to her thighs, the stocking band fluttered into view with each step.
The situation was bleak, but I resented my dick for trembling as soon as I saw Sujin's clothes.
My body was reacting more faithfully than anyone. But it was also funny that I got an erection just from seeing her in casual clothes.
'Was this guy even able to live a normal life?'
What kind of life did Baek Taeyang live...
"Because senior is too pretty."
"What are you saying..."
While saying that, she twists her body shyly.
Her long straight hair swayed and a black handbag was neatly slung over her shoulder.
Usually, when a woman with some chest wears a one-piece dress, the dress's curves don't come out properly.
But knowing this, she had tied a thin string around the waist of the dress to make a ribbon knot, which accentuated her figure even more.
It was clearly a pure one-piece dress, but it was causing an erection.
"Did you wait for me in front of the door? You could have waited closer."
That would have been fine..., she says while slightly bending her body.
The impact of her matching my eye level as I was crouched down was tremendous.
Due to gravity, the dress opened up and her cleavage was revealed.
'White...'
Her underwear was white.
Looking closely, there was an embroidered flower pattern, which was on a different level from what I saw last time.
Is this Sujin's idea of battle underwear?
"How can you do that, you'll be misunderstood as a pervert and it'll be a big problem."
"But still..."
It wasn't polite to keep my date partner on the street like this, so I stood up abruptly.
"Senior, can we go shopping at the department store after eating? I need to buy clothes..."
"Shall we? Then can I choose clothes for you?"
"Ah, of course. I'd be grateful."
"Then let's eat first."
It was actually better if a woman chose the clothes.
There's no need to think about various things, as it would naturally coordinate with clothes the woman would like.
"Ah... and Taeyang."
"Yes?"
"You can call me noona."
Her ears were red as if that was quite a bold statement.
Why is she embarrassed about this... It was really cute.
Other women send masturbation videos after having sex...
Is it because I've tasted both extremes? Sujin seemed more pure. I couldn't protect her, but I should treat her well.
"Let's go, I've made a restaurant reservation."
"Yes, noona"
Her broad smile as soon as I called her noona was a perfect pass.
+++++
"This is impossible, it's impossible!"
In a space filled with countless books, the largest book was open.
The book cover said
"The writing... The writing isn't coming out properly..."
The fat man wearing glasses kept writing letters with a quill pen, but few letters were written properly.
The ink was properly applied, but when the pen wrote letters on the book, the letters disappeared quickly.
"Baek Taeyang... He's the problem..."
A guy who wasn't supposed to appear has appeared.
"Edit... I need to edit..."
It was a moment that needed a bold development.
