Chapter 19
Swimming Instructor

My fate was sure painful. I was surrounded by people with big mouths and many teeth. I looked into the mirror. Alas, I had indeed grown a sizable punching bag on my face. It was probably because I got angry too much, so at last, it had objectified onto my face. I didn't know who had said, No matter how tired you become or how much suffering you go through, just pretend you're an idiot. If it becomes harder and more dangerous, then pretend you're stupid and shameless **. In Korea Uni, I had already acted as an idiot, but I didn't think that I would really have to grow two cheeks too.

**Stupid and shameless literally translates to two cheeks, so that's what she means by growing two cheeks. And by growing two cheeks, she's referring to her bloated hives.

So it was like this that in the dorm, I repented of my sins, muddle headedly, when at last, a week late, I welcomed the day of my recovery.

For this reason, I rubbed myself all over in the public baths for a whole hour to get rid of all my bad luck. After I finished bathing, I felt that I had become quite a few pounds lighter.

I prepared to go to the school dining hall sauteing area to buy some dishes to celebrate. As for Jisoo, I wouldn't be inviting her to eat with me. Who let her comfort me uneasily when she was really mocking me in the midst of many trials and tribulations? HMPH!

I put the dishes onto the table and began to gorge myself. I was feeling great, and my appetite was awesome!

Right when I was enjoying myself to the fullest, Jungkook came over, carrying his tray.

He carefully observed my face. Not sure, he asked "You're all right now?"

My mouth was bulging with food, and I could not speak, so I could only exert all my strength to nod.

Jungkook was still skeptical as he asked "Where did the things on your body go?"

There were really too many things shoved into my mouth. I couldn't swallow it even after a little while, so I could only raise my sleeve and pants to show him my skin.

Jungkook's eyes brightened "Lalisa Manoban, you're pretty dark."

I finally swallowed the food "Where am I dark? This is called being healthy. I've never seen any celebrities running out into the sunshine. Plus, I have to soak in the swimming pool for two more months. Obviously, it's whitened [from the bleach]."

"......"

Jungkook laughed "Even after turtles have soaked for 1000 years, they're still dark."

"Who are you calling a turtle? You wanna deride this old woman after seeing that she's gotten better? Say something that makes this old woman happy." I grabbed the chopsticks and banged them on the plates to urge him on.

"Your face is an oval face."

I nodded my head, satisfied. This rascal was great at cooperating with people.

"But it's only an inverted melon seed [1]." Jungkook said indifferently.

[1] Oval face: so when he calls her face an inverted melon seed, it's basically the other way around. Like...an inverted triangle sorta if you think of the model's face as a triangle.

"You look like a celebrity."

This time, I wasn't excited anymore. I knew that he was going to pull in his deriding spirit. Even if I tried to stop him, I wouldn't be able to.

"You look like,

that's all."

Everyone said that my life was not easy. I estimated that my inner mentality was more on guard than even 911 survivors. I covered my head and ate. I had experience with coming into contact with these kinds of people. At these times, I had to express how much I didn't care, to make the other person think that I was dull. Otherwise, you would be like the small demon forced into suicide from Journey to the West, mutilating yourself, and becoming a waste.
