Chapter 4-5 – Completion of Targeting

I gave up my lingering feelings about the married woman who lived next door and quickly left the house and headed to the local convenience store that I occasionally stopped by on my way to college.

Who should I experiment with this app? When I thought that, there was the first person that came to mind.

I arrived at a small convenience store in a residential alley, opened the door, and went in.

"Welcome!"

At the same time, a lively voice reaches my ears. She was the driving force behind making this convenience store, which used to have less than three customers, including me, a little more lively in the past month.

At first glance, she is a part-time worker with a youthful face who has just turned 20, with short hair that touches her shoulders and cute see-through bangs. Because she was short, she looked even more cute, like a small animal.

In addition, she had a very bright and friendly personality, so if there were several convenience stores nearby, hse was a part-time worker, which gave me a reason to choose this one.

The reason I chose that girl was simple.

1. Because she is a stranger who has not even given her full name.

2. Because she pretty.

I used to stop by this convenience store quite often, but if I remember correctly, I never saw it more than twice a week. It means that there is no one who will remember me.

Of course, you may remember it because it is a place where there are not many customers, but at least you will consider it a customer.

Therefore, you can check how much favorability you have for people who are not acquaintances with whom you do not have much interaction, and you can also know their reaction when your favorability suddenly increases.

And the second reason.

'Because she is pretty.'

If you could definitely gain favor, it was natural that you would prefer a pretty person over an ordinary person.

Even though I thought it was pretty until now, I never thought differently because I understood my topic.

But it was different now.

If...

If this app is real,.

Even though I believe it about 99% now, it wasn't easy to completely accept this supernatural app in just one day.

So, I wanted to gain confidence in the remaining 1% here.

'Then let's check the information first.'

I operated my smartphone and pressed the search information button, thinking of that person, just like when I checked on Lee Eun-chae earlier.

Then 10p was deducted, and the text was listed as if it were natural.

Name: Ryu Seol

Age: 20

No sexual experience: none

Likeability: 10

Sexual desire: 5

Applicable cards:

The moment I saw that, I decided to stop any more unreasonable disbelief.

'This is real.'

There was really no way they were doing The Truman Show with me. If that's the case, I should go and get a generous appearance fee from the producer who planned it.

My heart, which had become a little quiet while picking up trash, started beating vigorously again.

"Hmph, huh~"

When I glanced at the counter, I saw her humming a song and looking at something that looked like her workbook.

It was pretty to see it again. It was cute. It was exquisitely positioned between pretty and cute.

She has big eyes, a small but sharp nose, and a small mouth with a red tint. Even the corners of the mouth are turned up in a good mood.

Is it really possible to receive favor and love from a person like that? Questions, aspirations, and excitement surround me.

I moved my finger and clicked on the SSR card, which was showing off its purple presence in the [Holding Cards] column.

[System: Please specify the target.]

[Lee Eun-chae]

[Ryu Seol]

I chose Ryu Seol carefully to avoid pressing the wrong button. Then a new message came to mind again.

[System: [Ryu Seol] has been selected.]

[System: Please specify the target for which [Ryu Seol's] favorability increases. [If not specified, it will be fixed as a user.]]

[Lee Eunchae]

"!!"

'Can this be applied to third parties as well?'

It was an unexpected and very desirable system. I don't know what other cards there will be in the future, but it was clear that this feature would make it much more 'fun'.

And when I looked at the list, I could see that I could only select people who had confirmed the information.

Feeling the joy of playing a game, I pressed [OK] without specifying a target.

[System: Card has been applied.]

As soon as I saw that message, I glanced at the counter again. Her eyes were still focused on the book she was holding, so the change was not yet noticeable.

I checked the information first before approaching hastily.

Name: Ryu Seol

Age: 20

No sexual experience: none

Likeability: 90

Sexual desire: 5

Applicable Card: [SSR: Unchanging Affection]

My heart was pounding. Feeling uncontrollable excitement, he slowly headed towards the counter, holding a glass of banana milk.

'How about it? How will she react?'

-Gulp

With a nervous mind, he swallowed his saliva once and approached her with as casual a look as he could muster.

Soon, as if she sensed my presence approaching, she gently raised her head.

"Oh, would you like to pay?"

Her voice, which had greeted him brightly as if he had just entered the store, suddenly became quieter.

-Tuk

At the same time, the book she was holding fell on the counter, and she looked at me with blank eyes.

Eyes slightly larger, mouth slightly open.

Seeing that reaction being revealed openly, I held back the corners of my mouth from rising and offered her banana milk.

"I'll calculate this."

"…"

"Over there?"

"…Ah! Yes! Well, I'll help you pay!!"

Hearing my words as if she were urging him on, he belatedly touches her hand. But even so, her eyes kept scanning my appearance and my face, and I noticed that the corners of her ears were turning bright red.

I have heard such a story.

Women say that if someone is looking at them, they can feel all the gaze, no matter how hard they try to hide it.

Although it was a slightly different situation, I felt like I knew roughly what it felt like.

I could clearly see her sparkling eyes in front of me. Her posture somehow became more modest, and she was tucking her hair behind her ears.

There was only one banana milk, so she just had to scan the barcode and insert the card into the reader in front, and even though that was the end of the situation, I only heard the 'beep, beep' sound.

"Is there any problem?"

"No, no! I'm sorry! I keep making mistakes.

"Ah, take your time."

"Thank you~"

The liveliness that I remembered until entering the store suddenly disappeared. Anyone can see that she looks full of embarrassment, and she slowly tries to calculate again.

And I was looking at it.

'Are you really crazy?'

I burst out in joy. Even though I had never been in a relationship, I couldn't have known that the card I used had been applied for.

However, just because my favorability level has increased, 'Please go out with me!' It didn't lead to the same absurd development, and it seemed like she was very confused in her mind at the moment.

'This was enough for now.'

I was able to roughly understand how the card worked when applied.

"Payment has been completed."

"Yes, good work."

"Ho, don't you need a straw by any chance?!"

After payment was made and I was about to go out, she urgently called me and stopped me. At that desperate cry, I smiled slightly and held out my hand.

"Would you like one?"

"Here it is!"

"Thank you."

"Hehe !! Yes, yes~~!"

She smiled so happily at my words of gratitude, filling me with a tickling sense of satisfaction.

And yet, like a puppy, the spirit of wanting something more was emanating from those sparkling eyes.

"Over there."

"Yes! Do you need anything?!"

I somehow suppressed the feeling that I was going to burst into laughter and asked for one more thing that suddenly occurred to me.

"Is there a plastic bag that's a little bigger?"

"Uh, ah, um... yes, I have some pay-as-you-go bags."

"What size is it?"

"I'll show you everything! Just a moment!"

She quickly pulls out pay-as-you-go bags of each size from under the counter and shows them to me. Among them, I purchased a 5L bag to use as a shopping cart.

After making the additional payment, he quietly said something.

"I've always thought of you; you're very kind."

"Thank you!"

She likes to twist her body in response to my praise for her. She really didn't have anything to check anymore.

"Then, good bye..see you soon~."

"Ah… Well… Ah, goodbye… "

As I turned around without regret, I heard a voice full of regret behind me.

I was also disappointed. It wasn't that I didn't want to try something more in this amazing reality.

Can you just hit it off and give me your number? I was in the mood to give it a try, but maybe because I've never done it before, I couldn't say anything about it.

Still, he didn't have to be impatient.

This app was real.

That's why he also believed in the effectiveness of SSR cards.

There was a lot of time and opportunity.

There were two things I had to do right now. One is to contact the orphanage director who called in the morning. And other is to fill the 5-liter bag I am holding with trash from this neighborhood.

With that in mind, I left the convenience store and walked about ten steps.

"Over there!"

I stopped and turned around when I heard a loud voice coming from behind.

"Yes?"

"Hey… That… This is the first time I've ever been like this. That… It is… "

She hurriedly ran out of the convenience store and grabbed me. Ryu Seol hesitated for a long time, her face red.

Soon, she closed her eyes and held out the phone to me.

"You didn't give me your number... I want you to give it to me. Ugh! so, please~~~ give me your number!"

"…"

It was a good thing that she couldn't raise her head out of shame, as she barely managed to spit out the words while chewing her tongue.

The corner of my mouth is definitely going up to one side right now.

***

[Ryu Seol POV]

I am 20 years old this year but did not understand my current state of mind.

My bad luck started when I failed the exam on the day of the college entrance exam due to an upset stomach. It was difficult to ask for much help at home, so I started a part-time job at a convenience store so that it wouldn't interfere with my studies.

It was a quiet residential neighborhood, and the hours were from lunch to dinner, so it was a comfortable job with almost no rush of customers.

'Because the owner of the shop said that it was okay to study when there are no customers.'

Being energetic has always been her strong point, and since it was her first part-time job, she worked hard with a lot of weight on her shoulders and tried to treat her customers as kindly as possible.

Thanks to this, the store manager viewed her favorably, and there have been no problems with her part-time job until now, about two months since she started.

For some reason, the number of customers increased slightly compared to the beginning, but it was not enough to interfere with work and study.

In this way, her part-time job became a part of her daily routine, and she spent her days welcoming friends who occasionally came to visit.

-Tingle!

"Welcome!"

As she finished organizing her counter and was studying at the counter, one of her customers came in.

He was a memorable guest with his always gently smiling face and narrow eyes that accentuated his smiling face.

It was really just that.

Her thoughts about that customer.

He was an ordinary customer who I only remembered because he made a good impression.

I did.

It was like that.

Today was different.

"Oh, I would like to pay?"

-Boom!

The moment she saw the face of the customer who came to the counter to pay, fireworks exploded in her head.

My mind become pure white.

Like a fool, I couldn't think of anything.

At this moment, the only thing that filled my head was the face of the guest smiling softly in front of me.

It was never a handsome face.

It was never her taste.

Although his shrimp-like eyes are impressive, he was the type of customer I received without thinking much about it.

-Excited! Exciting!

Her heart began to beat violently. For a moment, she thought she might be sick.

Otherwise, her heart wouldn't have suddenly jumped like this, and her whole body wouldn't have felt hot as if it were on fire.

'What?! What's wrong with me all of a sudden?!'

Facing a phenomenon that she couldn't understand, she stood dumbfounded for a moment and asked herself.

"Over there?"

"…Ah! Yes! Well, I'll help you pay!!"

The sound of his voice urging her while tilting his head brought her back to her senses.

But still, her heart and her hands were shaking as if they were broken.

'Why is he that cute? Aren't I really crazy?!'

Just that small gesture of nodding his head in front of her made her heart burn brightly.

Around the year before last. At the concert she went to with her friend, she felt much more shy than when she faced her crush.

She adjusted her posture by touching her pose.

Ryu Seol has never felt this way in his 20 years of life.

She wasn't stupid.

She couldn't know what she was feeling right now.

So she couldn't understand any more.

'I've seen this customer several times in the past, but why do I suddenly feel this way now?'

'I've gotten numbers from more handsome guys and have confessed to them countless times, but I've never had anything like this.'

However, when she judged rationally and questioned everything, this man with a gentle face entered deep into her heart.

Unstoppable in the blink of an eye.

"Ho, don't you need a straw by any chance?!"

Her heart accepts the unfamiliar emotion of love before her head, and thanks to that, she struggles to somehow get one more word in.

'Looking at it again... I think he looks cute. He seems handsome. No, he is cool!'

Her bean-shelled eyes kept stealing glances at the customer's face.

With the love and curiosity that had suddenly grown so great, she barely managed to calm her confused mind and finish responding.

"Then, good luck."

"Ah… Well… Ah, goodbye… see you soon "

The customer turned around and left. Ryu Seol, looking at the back, felt as if her heart was breaking.

She only works two days a week, and she wouldn't be able to see that customer if he didn't stop by.

If we broke up like this, there was no telling when we would be able to talk again.

To worry about trivial things, she already wanted to see your face again. So she hurriedly ran out of her convenience store.

She then grabbed him and squeezed out her voice, despite her shame at the bewildered man.

A cry is no different from a confession.

"You didn't give me your number... I want you to give it to me. Ugh! please~~ give it to me!"

Chewing on her tongue made her so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in her mouse hole, but to her relief that she was glad he gave her a number without letting her even greater shame.

'Even just saying 'thank you' made my whole body flutter.'

He was so cool and handsome that she didn't know why she hadn't liked him before.

Her heart broke at the thought of not seeing him for a while.

That's why Seonha Lee captured her emotions and her heart.

"I once read it in a romance novel. I believe that my first love has come."
