In a bar filled with a mysterious scent of perfume and alcohol, Joo-hyun's friend asked Joo-hyun, shaking a cocktail glass with wide-open eyes.
“What kind of bet is this?”
“It’s been a long time since you’ve been in a relationship.”
“But, what.”
“Try to seduce a girl. I think she’ll fall for your face.”
“What are you talking about, are you drunk?”
Joohyun chuckled as if he was dumbfounded, then snatched the cocktail glass from his friend's hand and downed it in one shot.
"Hey... If you pick up a girl and come over, I'll give you a car. What, a Bentley? A Benz? I'll give you anything."
Joohyun felt like he wanted to agree to the offer to pick out the car.
“Hey.. you seem really drunk. Should I call the driver?”
“This older sister said she’d pick me, don’t you like it?”
“...It’s not that I hate it..”
Whether because he was drunk or because he just wanted a car, Joo-hyun agreed to his friend's bet, but he came up with a condition. If Joo-hyun could seduce a woman within 10 days and date her for 10 days, his friend would buy him a car. However, if he couldn't seduce her or they dated for more than 10 days, Joo-hyun would buy his friend a car.
Joohyun thought that his face could not seduce a woman and that he could not date her for more than 10 days, so he agreed to the terms and signed the contract.
“Come out in front of OO campus dressed appropriately by 10 o’clock tomorrow.”
“Have I ever not worn it?”
Joo-Hyeon, who came home drunk and had even written a contract and made plans for tomorrow, washed up and lay down on the bed.
“Ah, as expected.. the bed is the best..”
Joohyun, who had been lying in bed for a while, quickly fell asleep and barely managed to wake up in the morning. When she woke up, it was a little after 8 o'clock. Joohyun went to the bathroom half-awake and washed up almost half-asleep.
“I’m excited to be dating for the first time in a long time.”
Joohyun tied her hair back and put on some recently purchased clothes. Honestly, every time she looks in the mirror, she marvels at her own face. She wonders if someone can be this pretty.
Joohyun came out of her room and headed toward the lobby, dressed in a way that anyone could tell she was the daughter of a wealthy family.
“Where are you going on your date?”
The aunt who was trimming the flowers in the lobby smiled at Joo-hyun and spoke to him. Joo-hyun smiled and answered.
“It’s not a date. Haha.”
"Joohyun's father asked me to tell you that there's a family gathering around 8 p.m. today. He asked me to arrive on time."
Joohyun was instantly shocked when he heard that. It was obvious that he'd call her a family gathering and order her to come to an agreement with the competing groups, so Joohyun's father always put her in front of him and relayed the message.
"Ha, do I have to listen to all that nonsense again? Anyway, I understand. Thank you."
Joohyun picked up a slice of mango from the fruit plate on the table, put it in his mouth, and went out of the house. As he opened the front door and went out, his friend was waiting in a car. Joohyun glanced at him and got into the passenger seat of the car.
“What, you’re even going to come pick me up?”
“My friend is dating for the first time in a long time... I need to help her.”
“What’s with dating? The condition is that you date for 10 days and then break up.”
“Buy me a car and keep dating me.”
“If you flirt with me, I’ll break up with you in 10 days.”
“Chi, just wait and see.”
My friend parked his car in front of the campus.
“What… what do you want me to do here?”
“I’ll pick one for you… um..”
My friend unbuckled his seatbelt, looked around the window, pointed with his finger, and picked one up.
“That guy, the one wearing a leather jacket.”
“Him?”
“Oh, her proportions are amazing. I think her face is pretty too.”
“This girl will seduce you and come back in one day.”
Joohyun confidently got out of the car and walked along. The woman his friend had picked up was looking at her phone in front of the campus park, and Joohyun finally reached her back. Joohyun took a deep breath and patted the woman on the shoulder.
"yes..?"
The woman turned towards Joo-hyun, and a faint scent of perfume wafted out.
Joohyun was surprised when he saw the woman's face. It was completely his style.
"excuse me."
The day has come when Bae Joo-hyun, the best in the world, falls in love at first sight. Where did the confident attitude she had been walking with earlier go? She started to stutter.
“Why are you like that?”
Joohyun steeled himself and went into action. He had two plans: one was to approach her, ask for directions, and pretend to meet her by chance. The other was to boldly ask for her number and chase her. Both plans began with this question: "Hey, do you go to this university?"
“Do you go to this university?”
“Ah… yes. What’s wrong? Are you lost?”
“Please give me your phone number..!”
Without even thinking, Joohyun just blurted out the words that were on his mind. After blurting out the words, Joohyun's face turned red in embarrassment.
"yes..?"
“No... that’s it.”
“Oh my gosh, this is my first time getting a call like that.”
Joohyun, who thought he would be rejected, was even more flustered when he saw the woman smiling bashfully as if she was surprised.
“But I can’t give you my number. I don’t give my number to strangers.”
I thought I was almost successful, but as expected, it wasn't easy.
“Then… at least your name.”
“Sulgi! Kang Seulgi.”
“Oh.. thank you.. how old are you?”
"I'm a sophomore, 21 years old. I have a class, so can I go now?"
"yes yes.."
A female student named Seulgi smiled at Joohyun and then ran as fast as she could into the university building.
Bae Joo-hyun, are you embarrassed?
I'm always embarrassed because I have a poker face and a mysterious concept... Did you say Seolgi? What the heck is that woman?
