NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41
41. Glasses (4)
1.
I’m pretty discerning.
Would he have been able to earn 50 million won if he had been careless?
… ….
Yes what. To put it a little conscientiously.
Maybe I didn’t notice it a little more than I thought.
I didn’t notice it yesterday because I was constantly talking to Min Ah-rin, but today I could feel that the way my classmates were looking at me was strange.
And, aside from the gaze.
The opinions of these guys who flocked to me as soon as I went to school.
Hmm.
“Seung-gi, did you have bad eyesight?”
“Where did you buy those glasses? No, but why did you wear them?”
“No matter how I look at it, I think it would have been better to wear contact lenses…”
“You look so handsome when you take off your glasses…”
“I’ve never seen glasses that don’t suit you.”
“Are those glasses right?”
No fuss. No fuss.
This is the first time I’ve heard so many different and candid opinions about my glasses.
In the first place, there weren’t that many people who saw my bare face, even in my past and present lives.
My judgment so far has been based on those few opinions, and it has always been based on the lukewarm response that comes back to me.
Everyone who saw my face stuttered and said it was better naked.
No matter how you look at it, it’s an awkward reaction. What is it.
Now that I think about it, it seems like he said the truth. This is kinda…….
Besides, it’s also true that I’ve lived as a mother all my life.

If you’re handsome, shouldn’t you already have at least one girlfriend?
… ….
No.
I don’t know much about male-female relationships either.
By the way. Anyway.
A 17-year-old high school girl…… Of the inverted world version.
Because 17-year-old high school students are making a fuss together in one place.
Because I want to hear that insane reaction.
I began to question the facts I had believed.
This. It seems that saying that he looked better without glasses wasn’t just a polite thing to say.
“Uh… Taking off one pair of glasses is that different?”
“It’s not like that, it’s just another person’s level.”
“You didn’t even recognize the class president yesterday.”
“Honestly, I was confused all the way.”
“No… I really don’t know… No. Seung-gi, I don’t think you really knew.”
“Seunggi doesn’t even wear makeup.”
“Really? How can you say that?”
Of course, I also have a thing called shame.
If you talk like that next to me, it means that no matter how much I am, I feel ashamed.
It’s really cheesy.
What. Whatever.
People say they are handsome, but no one hates it.
It’s not that I’m a special human being, neither am I.
For some reason, when I look in the mirror in the morning, there is always a model standing there.
This is true. I thought it was some kind of photobook picture attached. What is it?
… ….
This is half a joke. Just. I feel good.
Anyway, judging from their reactions, it seems that I look a lot better than I thought.
About a lover, like a MacGuffin, it’s still a completely unknown truth, but they’re not the kind of kids who will tease me.
Even though I’m being awkward, there’s no doubt they’re nice guys.
If you think about it, yesterday’s class president must have been the same.
He wasn’t the type to play around with stuff like that either.
I think I misunderstood.
Still. I have no regrets about wearing glasses until now.
I can’t see right now, but it’s not important if you’re handsome and sleeping.
Also, if the opportunity comes someday, I wonder if I will be able to wear glasses again.
This is also the same reason.
I am a person who puts more importance on finding space in my life right now.
A girlfriend? Would be nice to have But if I were asked to choose between my lover and money, I would choose money.
Are you handsome? You can use it to earn money.
Hmm.
By the way, when you think about it, compliments that you are handsome keep lingering in your head.
Did your mind get younger as your body got younger?
Or maybe my personality has changed a bit.
I don’t know.
You just have to happily accept compliments as they are.
Be it money or looks, good is good.
2.
It didn’t take long to find confidence in my appearance.
The boys made a fuss in the morning, so I’ve already regained some confidence.
“Seunggi, you look really different when you take off your glasses.”
This is the opinion of Soo-Min Kim, who likes games and has been talking to me a lot lately.
“Wow… Han Seung-gi, what are your glasses? Seriously. Why did you wear them?”
“Have you seen Min Ah-rin already?”
“Han Seung-gi, that’s much better, really. Let’s just wear contact lenses.”
And this is the opinion of the female students playing with Min Ah-rin.
It’s not that close, but since I’m stuck with Min Ah-rin, I’ve developed a certain level of friendship.
“Who? Seung-gi? Really? Wow… Seung-gi, you seem to have done well in math this time. You’ve got it all, just.”
This is my math teacher’s opinion.
Is it okay to say it’s an opinion?
Anyway, the math teacher who came in for the first period hinted at my grades, as if the grading had progressed a bit.
It’s getting harder to hear now as this continues, but it’s an unavoidable problem.
It’s fortunate that it’s not a compliment for being nice.
Because such praise is harder to endure than this kind of praise.
That’s how the 1st class math class started.
Today, too, the class was not held.
The math teacher said that her exams were over and her narrative grading had a lot left to do, so she turned on the movie and started her own work.
I…….
I couldn’t concentrate on the movie.
I was distracted because so many things happened yesterday and today.
It was an Indian movie with three women dancing and singing.
…… Haven’t you seen that in school before?
The characters became women, but it was a familiar melody and a familiar story.
Hmm. It doesn’t matter.
Well, even the kids didn’t pay that much attention to the movie.
Because the person making noise was looking for a friend and making noise.
Like those next to Min Ah-rin.
“Han Seung-gi, are you watching a movie?”
“Huh? No. I was bruised.”
A voice came to me as I was silently bruising.
Min Ah-rin’s friends stopped chatting with Min Ah-rin and started talking to me, and I just answered in moderation.
I couldn’t get used to showing that much interest just because I took off one of my glasses, but I couldn’t treat people who were Min Ah-rin’s friends.
They kept trying to talk to me, and since I couldn’t just refuse, I started talking to them.
After talking for a long time, the break bell rang and they left the classroom.
This time, Min A-rin, who had been making a dissatisfied expression from earlier, spoke to me.
“Don’t be too close with him.”
“Who? Hyuna?”
“He’s like that and so are the other kids… Hyuna, especially with him. Every time I see a good-looking person, I talk to him, and once I get a boyfriend, I can’t go on for a month…”
“No, I have no intention of dating him.”
“That, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. And you talked to them while laughing.”
“Uh…”
“I don’t smile when I talk to people I’m close to.”
I still have no intention of making deep friendships with other kids.
Maybe it will be like that in the future.
Because I am that kind of person.
“Min Ah-rin, you are a special case.”
“Hmm…”
That’s true.
The disappearance of the glasses was a big change for me, but the change I feel the most these days is about Min Ah-rin.
She’s getting more and more comfortable dealing with her.
Well, I think it’s a good phenomenon.
3.
There is home time in first grade classes.
Some schools call it Giga Hour by tying it to technology-home, but we are anyway.
They were separated.
It’s only been two days since the exams ended, and it’s also Friday, but the home teacher brought some new news.
Looks like he has no intention of leaving us alone.
“The home performance evaluation will be a cooking practice. It will be conducted in a group of four.”
Yes. It could also be fun for the kids.
Where can you easily get the experience of cooking with friends?
But what am I? Cooking is what I do every day.
It also feels similar to survival food.
A dish that brings out the most from the minimum of ingredients.
From now on after the midterm exams, a lot of annoying things were going to happen.
I haven’t checked what our school schedule is like either, and what I’m saying right now isn’t accurate.
Because most schools have school trips or sports competitions in May.
There’s practice.
“Oh… that sounds like fun?”
Min Ah-rin has already become a person who enjoys.
She seems to be a new experience for her.
Well, I guess I should too.
Did you do the previous performance evaluations because they were fun?
Originally, this is the performance evaluation.
I opened her mouth to Min Ah-rin after hearing her say that she was making a group.
If I had to cook in groups, I wanted to do it with someone I was comfortable with.
“Min Ah Rin, Shall we go together with Joe?”
“Oh, really?! I like it!”
Yes. It looks good just by looking at it.
She seemed to have sensed that she had overreacted, and she sat back down, blushing.
Of course, our collusion ended in an instant.
“Joe is going to use a program and create it randomly. Do you want to proceed right away?”
It’s all about group assignments.
It should be fun if you do it with close friends, but it’s a problem if an extra kid comes out for no reason.
It’s an understandable decision.
The teacher plugged his laptop into the classroom monitor and started creating Joe with a program where the cannon shoots numbered balls.
And, 5 minutes after we started forming groups.
“No. 17, Group 5. Is group 7 lacking people? Since there is only one person left, that person can go to group 7. Who is the remaining person?”
… ….
I was the only one left.
In Group 7, there is Min Ah-rin.
Hmm.
This is really strange.
What is real?
Looking around, Min Arin seems to be feeling the same emotions.
What.
It’s a good thing.
That would be nice.
