Pitalbitterness
Kim Yeo-ju had a fulfilling day. She watched a movie, ate noodles, and worked out her voice at a karaoke bar. She also studied for the TOEIC at a study room and even went to an art museum.
After all that was over, there was only one thing I felt,
'Everyone in the world is the same. This is so boring.'
One day, a strange status window began appearing in Kim Yeo-ju's eyes. It was for anyone in sight. The status window read something like this:
Appearance, personality, and wealth—these three factors are displayed in alphabetical order, and even each person's special characteristics are listed. Showing appearance stats first really highlights the lookism of this era, and it feels a bit odd.
Kim Yeo-ju knows how to identify objects in front of her eyes,Even before I could understand my parents' words, I had a status screen. However, because I would constantly say things like, "Mom, what do you look like? You're A! Wealth...? F!!" to my parents when I was four, I was secretly labeled a "mentally challenged child," and so I naturally kept my mouth shut.
At first, I just assumed I was special. But as time went on, that damn status screen started to drive me crazy. When I first started elementary school, a kid shyly approached me and reached out, and I was about to develop feelings for him, a status screen popped up.
I instinctively shook off the outstretched hand. It was because I could clearly see the true feelings hidden behind the innocently smiling face of an eight-year-old. As time passed, Kim Yeo-ju also began to hide her true feelings and use more and more hypocritical tactics against people.
This means that most things can be laughed off, except for the really X-rated status screens that make you want to curse or vomit. So the female protagonist turned twenty and lived a normal college life like any other college student.
"Hey, where do you plan to get a job?"
No matter how many strange phenomena appeared to me, I couldn't escape the swamp of employment.
'Psychology... there's no answer.'
Kim Yeo-ju was a psychology student at S University. She had studied to some extent during her high school years, when she had no particular plans. However, her grades weren't high enough to secure a secure career. She regretted choosing a random major at a prestigious university solely based on its reputation.
Many people might assume that psychology majors would be lucrative because they'd work in hospitals. That's nonsense. Because it was a field with bleak prospects, most psychology students were preparing for the civil service exam. Kim Yeo-ju was no different. She was studying for the TOEIC, hoping to get some extra credit.
"Hey, I'm going to the place I got cast today to do a test.
"Want to go together? We don't have anything to do today anyway."
Yeah... If I hadn't fallen for that 'thoughtless' shit, I wouldn't have ended up drawing a future like this.
