Regression Of The Dating Sim Player

33. Kwon Joo-Ho (2)

However, contrary to expectations, no notification was heard.

Kwon Joo-Ho stared at Ye-Hyeon’s smile with an expressionless face. Then he took a step back as if he was avoiding him.

‘What?’

An unpleasant feeling filled Ye-Hyeon’s stomach as if he had swallowed a hot, muddy object.

‘If you’re full of affection, it’s supposed to mean you have a crush on me.’

His opponent was Kwon Joo-Ho, so he did not expect a drastic change. But this is way out of line.

Even when Ye-Hyeon thought Kwon Joo-Ho hated him, the screening was distorted, but when he acted awkwardly, even though his affection level was 100 points, his enthusiasm soared.

‘I have to be happy and sad for just one point!”

Ye-Hyeon felt ridiculed by Kwon Joo-Ho and the system at the same time.

Does it not end with 100 points, but 200 points, no, 1,000 points?

It was a possible story if it was the window that was trying to pit him from time to time as if it were intentionally trying to bully him.

The irritation accumulated for several years even before the regression was aroused. His stomach heated up, but Ye-Hyeon kept a clear smile.

‘All right. Let’s see if you win or I win.’

He was determined, but whether he was talking about Kwon Joo-Ho or the status window was unknown. It was only one try. It’s too early to be disappointed.

‘What did he tell me to do next.’

Ye-Hyeon stammered out the love knowledge he had forced into his head and approached Kwon Joo-Ho as close as the distance he had made.

All the people in the video talked about the importance of physical contact. In particular, he said to hold hands, but he repeatedly stressed that the point is to try it naturally, as if it is nothing, without making a fuss.

‘A 100 points of affection would at least make a difference.’

Ye-Hyeon glanced at Kwon Joo-Ho’s hand, compromising with himself. Kwon Joo-Ho lowered his hands at the same time.

It’s still awkward to hold hands together, so Ye-Hyeon thought it best to wrap the back of the hand and hold it.

“Kwon Joo-Ho.”Come to think of it. He said that calling his name affectionately works quite well. It was awkward to call Kwon Joo-Ho only by his name.

Although Ye-Hyeon stuttered, he still managed to do it. He nimbly moved his hands. If he avoided it, then there was nothing he could do.

It was when Ye-Hyeon’s fingertips narrowly brushed the back of Kwon Joo-Ho’s hand.

“Argh!”

Kwon Joo-Ho struck out Ye-Hyeon’s hand with all his might. Their flesh collided, but the sound rang loudly, not even a crack.

“It hurts…”

Ye-Hyeon murmured with his trembling right hand. He thought the back of my hand was going to be squashed. The pain was so severe that his hp was also reduced.

“Oh.”

Kwon Joo-Ho hurriedly pulled his hands and let out a low exclamation. It seemed that he didn’t mean it.

“Huh.”

There was a natural groan. Not only that but also physiological tears.

Even though Ye-Hyeon rested for more than half a day yesterday, he thought it would be better to refrain from using the “healing light” unless necessary. Ye-Hyeon patted his waist with teardrops on his eyes.

Kwon Joo-Ho hesitated and approached.

Ye-Hyeon tried to retreat reflexively, but Kwon Joo-Ho suddenly carefully wrapped Ye-Hyeon’s chin and lifted it. Ye-Hyeon froze helplessly.

“Uh….”

If Kwon Joo-Ho lowered his head a little more, the tip of their nose would touch. Kwon Joo-Ho hit Ye-Hyeon coldly for touching his hand, but he was too close again this time.

Embarrassed by the unpredictable sense of distance, Ye-Hyeon couldn’t say anything.

Even though they were close enough to meet each other, their eyes did not meet. Kwon Joo-Ho looked at the teardrops on the corners of Ye-Hyeon’s eyes, not Ye-Hyeon.

A rough thumb rubbed Ye-Hyeon’s eyes. No, it was such a light and itchy touch that it was unclear whether it could be expressed as rubbing.

Ye-Hyeon held his breath without realizing it.

Kwon Joo-Ho made eye contact with Ye-Hyeon only after wiping off Ye-Hyeon’s tears.

Ye-Hyeon’s vision was filled with Kwon Joo-Ho.

Due to his back to the light, a dark shadow hung over Kwon Joo-Ho’s straight features. The black eyes pulled Ye-Hyeon’s eyes like a black hole to the extent that the boundary of the pupil could not be seen.

Ye-Hyeon came to his senses only when he found his surprised face reflected in his eyes.

“……don’t cry……”

It was a low whisper like the sound of the wind. It was so soft he almost couldn’t hear it.

Ye-Hyeon managed to resist scratching his ears.

[system] Got 10 points for affection.

The affection point, which did not rise even if he smiled, rose when Ye-Hyeon shed tears.

‘Kwon Joo-Ho, is there a strange wall? You’re not a pervert, are you?’

Ye-Hyeon became anxious because all targets were not normal.

When Ye-Hyeon slightly twisted his head, Kwon Joo-Ho paused and took his hand off.

“……I’m sorry.”

Kwon Joo-Ho apologized belatedly and moved away. Kwon Joo-Ho looked down at Ye-Hyeon in a straight posture, two steps away as if he had been in close contact with him.

Ye-Hyeon blankly dropped his gaze to the floor. Come to think of it, Kwon Joo-Ho did not come closer to him than two steps.

“It’s all right.”

Ye-Hyeon was very surprised by Kwon Joo-Ho’s sudden behavior, but he had no choice but to say it was okay since he had to look good to Kwon Joo-Ho.

It was ridiculous that a cold person who suddenly hit him for touching his hand was overly friendly because he had tears in his eyes. Ye-Hyeon avoided glaring by rubbing the chin caught by Kwon Joo-Ho with the back of his hand.

‘I don’t think it’s a negative considering the increase in affection points.’ Nevertheless, it was hard to erase his doubts completely.

‘If I ask him why he did it, he will only apologize, right?”’

Ye-Hyeon wanted to open Kwon Joo-Ho’s head if he could. It was regrettable that only one person could register for the “Mind Reading” skill.

Ye-Hyeon roughly drank the potion and sprayed it on the back of his hand. Kwon Joo-Ho watched quietly and did not look good.

“…I have nothing to say.”

Ye-Hyeon was worried, Kwon Joo-Ho would stay silent, but unexpectedly he spoke first. He is not sure if its because Kwon Joo-Ho is registered as a target or because he felt guilty after hitting Ye-Hyeon hard, but it was nice to have a normal conversation.

“I want to learn swordsmanship. Can you teach me?”

Kwon Joo-Ho looked down at Ye-Hyeon with his eyebrows slightly distorted. It looked like he is not a fan of the idea.

“Why?”

“I need the means to protect my body. I’ll tell you in detail later, but I got a second ability, but its not good enough. I don’t want to knock down a monster. I want to learn because it’s good enough to hit a few attacks.”

Ye-Hyeon gently persuaded with a firm look.

He realized it when he talked to Baek Hae-Won. Despite consistently training in swordsmanship, Ye-Hyeon was not even confident confronting the monster in the C-class dungeon.

“Not like this.”

Now, if Ye-Hyeon get 10 more points of affection, he can buy a skill in the store. Getting S-level or A-level skills there would be best, but he couldn’t just hope for luck. Ye-Hyeon didn’t want to hear any more of being a porter. Ye-Hyeon needed the means to protect himself right now.

“I’ll protect you so you don’t need to use a sword.”

Kwon Joo-Ho stared at Ye-Hyeon and spat out in a low voice. Yoon Seung-Jae’s promise to protect him looked cute, but Kwon Joo-Ho’s seems more serious.

‘It’s not because he likes me, but because he’s responsible.’

Ye-Hyeon blinked and rechecked the target window.

Ye-Hyeon had been convinced that Kwon Joo-Ho hated him even before regression. For now, he know in his head that neither intimacy nor affection is negative, but Ye-Hyeon felt strange because of the gap that rarely narrowed.

“……thank you. But I want to try anything I can do. Can you help me?”

Ye-Hyeon extended his speech and glanced at Kwon Joo-Ho’s hem. The guide told to pull the hem of the person’s clothes cutely when asking for something, but he was scared after being beaten up while trying to do the trick.

‘I don’t think I should just touch Kwon Joo-Ho. I’m going to get beaten to death.’

Instead, Ye-Hyeon rubbed the back of his hand, which was still tingling, as if to be seen. The gradual swelling was cured with a potion, but the redness remained.

“I’ve been taking classes, but it doesn’t suit me. Just teach me the basics.”

Kwon Joo-Ho reluctantly nodded as Ye-Hyeon continued to beg.

“Isn’t it an opportunity for you to be alone with me under the pretext of teaching me sword skills?”

Is he not a fan of the idea because the intimacy is 0? 100 points of affection were so shocking, but on the contrary, it was strange that you had 0 points of intimacy.

‘But we’ll get close soon.’

“Kwon Joo-Ho, can I call you Hyung?”

Since Ye-Hyeon took the opportunity, he went a little more actively.

Shin Do-Gyeom was careful to talk to him because he had a negative intimacy, but Kwon Joo-Ho scored 100 points and Ye-Hyeon felt a bit at ease.

‘Will it work better if I cry and ask for it?’

However, Ye-Hyeon couldn’t cry right away, so he smiled as brightly as he could.

“……No.”

“What?”
