It is Easiest to be Obsessed by Everyone

It was now the third day of my second life. 

I’d been awake as Lee Chang-woo for about 47 hours. 

The duration was less than two full days, but so much had happened in that short time. 

The original Lee Chang-woo probably had an even more dynamic daily life than this, right?

On my back, Jung Hyena was wearing white shorts. 

They weren’t exactly short shorts, but in this position, they had ridden up, revealing quite a bit of her thighs. 

The soft touch of her thighs against my arms felt good. 

Maybe we should have just stayed home and ordered delivery, so I could keep feeling her body.

It was noon. 

Since we were walking through a residential alley, there weren’t many people around. 

This meant Hyena, who was on my back, didn’t have to feel too embarrassed. 

As for me, after the bitter experiences of my life, this moment wasn’t embarrassing at all. It just felt sweet and a little ticklish.

I found a barbecue restaurant. 

Even though it was the middle of the day, about a third of the tables were filled, which meant it was probably a decent spot.

“Wanna eat some meat?”

“Sounds good. You can put me down now.”

“Okay. Be careful.”

I gently set her down, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she wobbled and almost fell. 

I quickly grabbed her waist to steady her. 

Thanks to the +500% strength buff, it felt like lifting a feather.

“Thanks, oppa.”

“I should be the one saying sorry for making you unable to walk. Go on in. I’ll buy some gum and join you.”

——-

The moment she stepped inside, the chatter at the men’s tables stopped abruptly. 

Every guy’s jaw dropped as their eyes were automatically glued to her face.

‘Is she a celebrity?’

‘No way someone like that lives in a place this far from Gangnam.’

‘Wow! How can a person be that beautiful?’

Whether through surgery or naturally, beautiful women are common in Gangnam. 

Sometimes you even pass by celebrities on the street. 

But this woman who just walked in? 

She was on another level entirely.

Even if she were a top-tier celebrity, you’d still nod and say, “Ah, I see.” 

Her beauty was that overwhelming. 

People say someone can be so beautiful that they don’t seem real, and that’s exactly what she looked like.

‘I wish I could date someone like her just once.’

‘Is she here alone?’

The woman looked around and then sat by the window. 

As she leveled her chin on her hand and gazed outside, her side profile appeared like a scene from a magazine. 

Her slender legs were perfectly displayed between her white shorts, and her slim waist beneath her crop top was without a hint of excess fat.

One guy stood up, but his friend quickly stopped him.  

“Hey, don’t do it.”  

“Shut up. I’m going to go ask for her number. It’s the brave ones who get the beauty.”  

“Don’t. I’m saying this for your own good. Do you really think a girl like that doesn’t have a boyfriend?”

Just then, the door opened, and once again, the room fell into silence. 

The men, who had been playfully scuffling, stopped and stared blankly at the new arrival. 

The presence of the man was even more overwhelming than the stunning woman. 

Other customers also sat wide-mouthed. They stared at the unbelievably handsome man who had just walked in.  

At the tables of women, they could barely breathe as their attention was completely stolen.  

While the gorgeous woman had made people think, ‘How can someone be that beautiful?’

The handsome man provoked a different thought, ‘Does someone like that even exist? This can’t be the real world!’

If the beautiful woman had turned the customers into panting wolves, the handsome man made them feel like dried-up squid in a fish market. They were utterly defeated.

“Hey oppa, over here!”  

“What should we eat?”

The couple looked so sweet together; anyone could see they were dating. 

Instead of just being envious, it felt surreal, like they were filming a drama. 

One of the guys began looking around suspiciously.  

“What are you doing?”  

“Looking for cameras. Maybe they’re filming hidden camera content or something, trying to see how normal guys react when a perfect couple like them shows up.”  

“You’re nuts.”

The men resumed their meal and conversation, but the excitement was gone from their words. 

Their spirits had long since been sucked toward the table where the gorgeous couple sat. 

All anyone could think about was their conversation, their expressions, how lovingly they exchanged glances. 

Customers, the staff—everyone’s attention was focused on them.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the window-side table.

———

“So, I realized you spent over six hours yesterday using your hands and mouth on me.”

“Ah! What if someone hears you?”

“Oops, sorry.”

I tried to say it quietly, but since she was embarrassed, maybe I should switch to texting.

[Me] And we did it for another 4 hours after that.

[Me] We ended up having sex for over 10 hours total, lol.

[Jung Hyena] ,,,ㅠㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ☆♡♡♡  

[Jung Hyena] Um. How many times was it?  

[Me] Oral or regular?  

[Jung Hyena] ㅠㅠㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠ  

[Jung Hyena] ♡ Both. ♡♡  

[Me] 32 times oral, 19 regular.

[Jung Hyena] Wow. That’s crazy amazing! Were you keeping count the whole time?  

[Jung Hyena] Is that even possible??? I heard guys can barely go 10 times in one day!  

‘Hyena. That’s not how it works…’

‘If a guy goes 10 times in one day, he’s usually dead by the end of it.’

[Me] I have a high stamina and endurance.

[Me] Plus, I hadn’t done it in a long time.

[Jung Hyena] ♡♡♡  

The meat on the grill sizzled as it cooked. 

I picked up the tongs and scissors to cut the meat. 

Even though I had been sick for five years, I wasn’t confined to the hospital the entire time. 

I had lived life, worked hard, and even grilled meat before. 

My grilling skills hadn’t faded.

“Huh, oppa? You used to not know how to grill meat.”

“I was just pretending. I didn’t feel like holding the tongs.”

“You don’t have to pretend like that.”

She’s right. 

Being Lee Chang-woo, women would probably have gladly paid and learned how to grill meat just to impress me. 

I didn’t need to lie about being bad at it.

“So are you resting today?”

“Yeah, and back to work tomorrow.”

“They made you pull an all-nighter after calling you back in, and now they only gave you one day off?”

“One of the staff got hurt, so it couldn’t be helped. It’s going to be rough for a while.”

“You work at a YouTuber studio, right? Four million subscribers.”

“Yep.”

“What kind of content do they?”

“He’s an IT YouTuber. He introduces new electronic products and technologies. A quarter of his subscribers are from overseas, so there’s a lot of potential for growth.”

“An IT YouTuber? Then he must be a guy.”

“Yeah. He’s a guy.”

“How old is he?”

“The CEO is 33, I think? Somewhere around there.”

Coincidentally, he was the same age I was in my past life. 

I didn’t have any IT YouTuber friends my age though. 

I was just a little concerned because her boss was a single guy at the age where men are thinking about marriage.

“Is he married?”

“He’s single.”

“Does he have a girlfriend?”

“No.”

“How do you know that?”

“He told me.”

I didn’t like the sound of this. 

It made me uneasy.

In my eyes, Hyena was the most beautiful woman in Korea. 

Tall, great figure, kind, and young. 

No normal guy could resist her charms. 

A successful IT YouTuber with 4 million subscribers probably made good money and had a secure future. 

He was 33. It was the perfect age to think about marriage, so of course, he’d be interested in Hyena. 

‘Am I overthinking this just because I’ve been through a rough time?’

“I’m about to say something dumb.”

“Huh?”

“Does that studio CEO ever make a move on you or act inappropriately?”

“No, not at all. He’s super gentlemanly.”

“Listen, I’m a guy, so I know how we think. Someone like you will definitely have guys pretending to be friendly but secretly waiting for a chance. So don’t let your guard down, okay?”

“Our CEO isn’t like that at all. And honestly, you saying that doesn’t sound very convincing.”

“Why not?”

“Because you never showed any interest in me before.”

“Hey, that was because you were underage. I didn’t want anything inappropriate to happen.”

‘Right, Chang-woo? That’s why, right?’

“But back in high school, you had a lot of girls after you.”

“Wait, I did?”

“Yeah.”

‘Lee Chang-woo, you sneaky bastard… This isn’t going well. Time to change the subject.’

“Anyway, just be careful.”

“Really. You don’t need to worry.”

“Just be careful. If I say be careful, then be careful.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful. But seriously, don’t worry.”

“Be careful at company dinners too. Are you good with alcohol?”

“Yeah, I can drink well. I’m pretty strong.”

“Good. But still, never get too drunk unless you’re with me.”

“Got it.”

I avoided alcohol on purpose. 

It wasn’t just because it was the middle of the day—I wanted to finish eating quickly and go back for some more… You know. 

I learned how to steal late, but now that I knew how, I needed to make the most of it. 

I wouldn’t be scaling any walls though—just Hyena.

“That laptop’s storage is protected by AES256 encryption, so even if someone steals the disk, they can’t decrypt the data. Not even the CIA could crack it, so don’t worry.”

“Wow. Where did you learn about that, oppa?”

“I looked it up while we were at the café yesterday.”

Since Hyena thought I was bad with computers, I gave a simple excuse. 

From now on, I should start showing her that I was learning different things.

Wait, hold on. 

I just noticed something.

[Sexual Desire Towards You: S]

[Affection towards You: SS]

Her sex drive went from A to S, and her affection went from S to SS?

[Sex drive at S level means an extreme obsession with sex to the point it interferes with daily life.]

[This is a very rare level.]

It gave me an explanation about her sex drive but nothing about affection. 

I guess if it was like the sex drive, her affection must be extremely high, even beyond the point of disrupting her daily life?

We finished eating and stood up.

“The lady already paid for your meal.”

“What? No, I was going to pay. Why’d you do that?”

“You’ve been through a lot, oppa. Of course, I should pay.”

“No. You’ve been through more than I have.”

“No way, it’s right that I pay. I want to pay.”

‘I’m so grateful, and she’s so lovely that it’s killing me.’

I really need to treat her well from now on.

“Hyena, how much longer is left on your studio apartment lease?”

“Two months, but I can extend it.”

“And where do you live now?”

“I live in a semi-studio officetel on a half-jeonse lease.”

“Can I stay with you for the time being? It’s just a waste of time going back and forth.”

“Of course, I’d love that!”

When you know exactly how someone will respond, it can sometimes feel like the tension and fun are gone. 

But not with her. 

Even though I could predict her saying ‘yes,’ it still felt so exciting.

“Then don’t extend the lease on the studio, and let’s move my stuff out. Anyway, I’ve only got a suitcase and a laptop so let’s move them over today.”

“Are you really going to live with me?”

“Yeah. Starting today, Day one of living together.”
