IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

045

“Why are you here?”

As much as I wanted to ask that right away, I couldn’t.
This was an experience where I was living through a script’s character.
I can’t arbitrarily control things or anything like that.

So, contrary to my shocked heart,
“I’m watching you because I like you.”

The straightforward tone just popped out.
“…How could you say such things carelessly?”

Su-Jin, with a scolding expression, looked really pretty.
Especially because of the historical drama filming, her hanbok suited her elegantly.

Even while feeling shy, it seemed like she wanted to say something.
You could see the slight redness of her cheeks from her baby fat still not completely gone.

Is the tingling in my fingertips just a feeling, or is it my heart?
To be honest, without any procedure,
I wanted to get intoxicated by you—

‘No, wait, what am I even saying?’
Judging that the situation was getting weird,
I quickly snapped out of the immersion.

“…What the heck is going on?”
This had never happened before.
How can a character from the script take the face of a real person?
That question was a fleeting thought.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A message from [Sims – The Real Life] quickly arrived to provide answers.
-[The current script is deemed a romance, not just a simple story.]
-[For deeper immersion, the role is now replaced with a real-life person, not a fictional character.]
-[A function has been added for this replacement; if you don’t want this feature, please turn off ‘Romance Mode’.]
-[The method to turn it off is the same as immersion and can be toggled ON/OFF at any time.]

“…Why would you do something like this without saying a word?”
Of course, everything so far had gone on without communication, but this time was different.
‘Turn off Romance Mode.’

This was the most tangible ability I’d gained so far.
The good news is that even with the face change, I couldn’t do anything outside the script’s written actions.

‘…Wait, why did I think that was good? Why am I even thinking like this?’
Thoughts I had never properly considered,
The body of a fifteen-year-old boy going through puberty began to react seriously.

They say it’s the age where you’re very interested in sexual things.
A period when secondary sexual characteristics become active.

It’s funny to say, but for the first time, I started to ‘consciously’ notice the opposite sex.
Having been discriminated against for my unattractive appearance,
I’d obviously never even had a romantic relationship in my past life.

Naturally, this became a habit in this life as well,
And I hadn’t cared at all.

But the current situation made me realize I could naturally have a romance.
Escaping from the feelings of inferiority and the complexes from my past life.
Breaking free from inferiority complex and self-doubt.

Just a trivial trigger.

Thump thump thump.

‘Am I crazy? Why is my body like this?’

My heart was going wild.

As it happened, moments I’d ignored until now flashed in my mind.

The classroom in winter when I reunited with Su-Jin,

that moment when Jae-rin suddenly burst out of the waiting room and sweetly called my name,

that time when Ye-rim was so startled she lost control and wet herself.
