༺ The Time I Turned Out To Be That Bastard ༻
[Do you want to be handsome, or do you want to be ugly?]
I thought this question had an obvious answer.
While it was true that there were more advantages to being attractive, that wouldn t always necessarily bring absolute happiness.
Oh… Sorry.
Having learned through experience that the worst thing to do in this situation was to give her a sliver of hope to hang into, I looked down at Doah with an indifferent expression.
Her shaky voice was filled with nervousness.
…Sorry, I m not interested.
By any chance… do you have a girlfriend already…? I didn t know you had one, so…
That s not it…
I didn t have to go out of my way to explain why I didn t need a girlfriend to Doah.
Then… Can you at least tell me why you turned me down?
I sighed deeply when I saw tears begin to form in her eyes.
Turning down another person s confession felt tiring.
It was a meaningless drivel, an exhausting emotional labor with nothing given in return.
Why should I care so much about someone I wasn t even in a relationship with?
It s just, you aren t my type.
Oh…
A shadow began to cast over her hurt expression.
Don t make that face.
Besides, I knew the reason why she liked me was because of my appearance.
It made way too little sense for her to be making the face of a heroine in the last scene of a pure love manhwa.
Sorry. I ll go first.
I stood up from the bench, took out my phone, and left Doah behind with her head down.
[19:20]
There were still 40 minutes before Luka s stream started.
If I went home, took a shower, and enjoyed a cup of ramen while watching her stream…
Surely it would pull me out of these emotions weighing down on me today.
Ding Dong
[Stream Cancellation Notice.]
As I was choosing a cup of ramen and triangle kimbap at the convenience store, my eyes were in disbelief at the notification ringing from my phone.
No way… There s no stream today…?
How can this be…?
It has only been two days since the last stream was canceled.
You promised you d stream regularly again when you came back, Luka!
As my blood was beginning to boil, I tapped on the notification and scrolled down in case she was hit by an accident.
[Hello everyone, it s Luka.]
[I can t stream today because of personal difficulties.]
[I will return as soon as possible.]
[I m sorry.]
¤·[Come back Luka-tan ã ï¹ã Which bastard did this to you ã ï¹ã ]
Of all days for Luka to cancel her stream.
Talk about bad luck.
At least, that was what I thought at the time.
TL NOTE: Teaser for now, expected to be released around December!
