Chapter 215: Gangwon-do’s Dating Expert (2)

“Of course! When it comes to dating, Park Deokgu is the best, right?”

Unlike me, whose cheeks were red, Park Deokgu busied himself with boasting. I wasn’t sure if he really was Gangwon-do’s dating expert, but it seemed that he couldn’t hide his joy upon learning someone wanted to apply for a consultation after a long time.

‘Who is it?’

Though I felt exhausted, I was also curious.

‘Is it Kim Hyunsung?’

It was not impossible.

Unlike Deokgu and I, our lovely returner was not only a typical good-looking guy, but he also had the desired manners. If I were a woman, I would be chasing him, too. He was successful, so it was obvious for him to put up iron walls around him to prevent girls from approaching.

‘Or is it one of the trainees?’

I thought there was no reason to keep postponing our guild’s proposal, assuming that the one she liked was among the trainees. All I had to do was wait for her answer.

Since she is not asking me to leave, I suppose it didn’t matter if I heard it.

“So.”

“Well, tell me openly.”

“Err…”

“Anything is fine.”

Ahyoung hesitated before speaking once more.

“The fact is… I have someone I’m going out with.”

“Huh?”

“I, like Instructor Lee Kiyoung and Instructor Jung Hayan, in the tutorial dungeon…”

“Ahhh…”

I felt surprised at the fact that she already had a beau. However, I wasn’t surprised.

If you were a man, you couldn’t possibly dislike a woman like this. Although her personality is fine, her appearance was the one that proved to be overwhelming.

The face was a little ordinary, but the legendary chest’s majesty covered all the cons.

It should be the same now, but there must have been people trying to do something to her in the tutorial dungeon.

“Then, aren’t you two already dating? I don’t think you need much help…”

I couldn’t even imagine that Yoo Ahyoung would have a boyfriend on campus. Obviously, I remember that she was always alone at first. Though I hadn’t been interested in the other recruits, I paid quite a bit of attention to her.

It might sound like I was a stalker, but it was to figure out what kind of person she was, and in fact, I was able to empathize with the situation she was in.

‘I haven’t seen her recently, but…’

I haven’t seen anyone I could call her boyfriend.

She didn’t have any friends to talk to, and she was always alone. The only people that talked to her until she achieved some results were only gangster-like bullies.

However, for some reason, there was a situation that I can predict.

“No. The situation is a little complicated now.”

“Ahem. I’m sorry I couldn’t play the role of cupid of love, but counseling is still counseling. Well, aren’t you worried about your relationship? Then, here is Park Deokgu!”

“Yes. As I said before, Oppa and I met in the tutorial dungeon. He accidentally rescued me from being almost hit by a monster. We didn’t ask one another to go out, and as the situation was, we didn’t have time to do something like lovers…”

“Hmmm… Yes. Hyung-nim and Hayan were the same.”

“That… Did you say that the Blue Guild Master Kim Hyunsung saved the survivors?”

“Yep. He is great.”

“It wasn’t like that, but Oppa did something similar. He saved the survivors as far as he could, and he did not hesitate to go on dangerous paths with others to get food… Maybe because of us, he couldn’t participate in the strategy. He wasn’t on the attack team, but he changed his class in the tutorial dungeon.”

“Wow!”

“Anyway, the important thing is that I liked him, and he liked me, too.”

“That’s so exciting.”

“It’s hard to tell everything that happened in the dungeon, but… Ah! What else happened…”

I wanted to listen a little more, but the dramatic pauses were driving me crazy. When it appeared that no one was going to speak up anytime soon, I took matters into my own hands.

“I have a question. May I ask it to you, Trainee Yoo Ahyoung?”

“Ah! Yes.”

“It’s a little rude, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you go around with your boyfriend. Of course, I understand that because of class, yet you always seem to be alone every time…”

“Ahhhhhh… Actually, when we came out of the tutorial dungeon and just started getting the education, Oppa asked me to keep a little distance. I understand it because it was a time when we had to focus more on training. It was a little lonely, but…”

‘I knew it.’

[Checking the unique characteristic of the player Yoo Ahyoung.]

[Rich Heart]

‘You got conned…’

I was now able to put the pieces together.

He had only stayed with her back then because he had nothing left to lean on. However, once he found a possible path he could take, he dumped her.

‘A sh*tty person like me can understand this. He’s definitely a Lee Kiyoung-inspired bastard.’

There must’ve been a reason for him to hang around with Yoo Ahyoung in the tutorial dungeon.

In short, he may have needed someone to release his sexual desire, or he may have needed someone to die for himself or someone to sacrifice in case of an emergency.

“It’s not like we got the seven-year itch yet. Oppa is just a bit cold-hearted… Still, he’s a warm person inside.”

In other words, she was the one who had gotten abandoned. The reason she survived the tutorial dungeon was that she had gotten lucky. If there had been an opportunity for her to be abandoned, she would definitely have been.

What came after was also obvious. After completing the first class change and leaving the tutorial dungeon, he must have realized that he was quite talented… The existence of this woman, who was holding him back, must have bothered him.

In the eyes of a guy who couldn’t see her talent, he would have thought that the only advantage of this woman was her big chest. Of course, it wouldn’t take long before he realized that the insurance he was carrying was a gem.

Now would be the right time for him to change his attitude.

“Since education is almost over now. Oppa came back to me as before. He hasn’t received an offer from a guild yet, but he will definitely be taken by other clans and guilds. What I’m worried about…”

“Maybe the guy who is your boyfriend said he wanted to join the same guild. Or he probably asked you to ask us if he could get in the Blue to be together with you.”

“Huh. How did you know?”

It was too obvious.

“It’s nothing. I felt that way for some reason.”

“Instructor Lee Kiyoung is right. It may feel a little insignificant, but it’s an important issue for me… Actually, it’s the first time someone has expected something from me. The reason I was able to work hard was all because of what the instructor said… Also, I want to comply with what the instructor said, but I feel kind of guilty because of him.”

“Why didn’t you tell me to bring him together with you?”

“Because I know it’s a nuisance.”

‘Ah, she’s nice.’

If she had asked me with no worries, perhaps I could have done something. She deserved to be treated, after all. However, she didn’t because she knew it would be a nuisance for us.

‘The guy who conned her… Should I take him in?’

That guy’s personality seemed like trash, but he could be used once the contract was successful.

Even if I didn’t use him as a party member, he could still be useful in other things, and it was not a bad deal to be able to save talent in exchange for taking in one piece of trash, as long as he didn’t get too cocky and ask for a boost to raise his salary.

It may be annoying to have someone who could control a person like Yoo Ahyoung, but it would, in turn, be easy to control him with the power I currently held.

If I did not feel satisfied with him, I could just kill him…

‘I can just give him some gold.’

Of course, I could provide some love counseling to Ahyoung. That would be a simpler method.

If not…

‘Is it better to just drop him?’

Ahyoung looked like a pushover. It looked like she would give him everything with a little bit of sweet talk, so perhaps it was okay to do the work.

As I tried to organize my thoughts, Deokgu took a deep breath.

“Hyung-nim, I have to say something.”

“Okay…”

“I’m sorry to say this, Ahyoung-ssi, but…”

“Yes?”

“I think it’s better for you to break up.”

At this, Ahyoung looked a little disconcerted. It was also strange to see Deokgu looking so serious.

The girl’s reaction was natural. She must’ve thought Deokgu was rude to suggest such a thing.

“I’ve never seen him, and I don’t know his face, but he honestly doesn’t seem to be a good person.”

‘He’s too direct…’

Speaking carefully here would’ve been the better option. Park Deokgu was too direct.

‘Gangwon-do Dating Expert King Deokgu, my ass.’

“Ah…”

“As a messenger of love, it hurts not to bless you two, but Ahyoung is worth more than him. I’m not saying this because I’m in the Blue Guild. Honestly, if it were Hyung-nim, it wouldn’t be a problem to bring that person to the guild with Ahyoung. Isn’t it? Hyung-nim?”

“Well, yes.”

“Of course, there are vacancies in our guild’s T.O! Can you call him a man when, instead of supporting and cheering for the person he loves, he holds you back and wants to be carried by you? To tell you to keep some distance just as soon as you got out of the dungeon, he’s someone petty and shamefully dirty. Who can guarantee that he didn’t come back because Ahyoung is doing well?”

“Ah…”

All of a sudden, this bastard had become sharp.

“Well, it’s a little abrupt, but I’ll tell you an old story. In the past, there was an aunt named Oh Young-hee in our neighborhood. It is assumed that her husband met another woman and ran away to Seoul, leaving her with a less than a three-month-old baby. When I was just a high school student, aunt Young-hee’s restaurant was doing pretty good, so she put out the 2nd and 3rd stores in other areas… The cheating husband came back and asked her to take him in.”

“Ah…”

“In the end, since that aunt had a daughter, she was forced to accept him. After she died of a sickness, he returned to the woman he ran away with and spent a lot of aunt’s money. There are many bad people in the world. It’s because Ahyoung seems to be too nice…”

“Oh…”

“Of course, I haven’t lived long enough to give this advice. I’m not a fuddy-duddy that is telling you this for you to obey. I’m not saying this because I’m in a higher position either, but… Ah! Aren’t we friends now since we had a drink? I’m speaking as a friend. This is something Ahyoung has to choose. Please think carefully about whether that guy is really the person that Ahyoung thinks.”

‘Why is this bastard doing this suddenly?’

“If he’s not that kind of guy, then Park Deokgu, the messenger of love, will support you with all my utmost power.”

Park Deokgu’s response was heavy, but it was not bad overall. I could tell that Yoo Ahyoung knew how genuine Deokgu’s words were. She probably understood that this was not bait to try and get her to join Blue.

There was a tense pause, and, as Ahyoung’s expression worsened, I could tell she had come to a decision.

If that guy treated Yoo Ahyoung sincerely, she had nothing to be anxious about, but I could be 100% sure that he was trash.

“I… I do not know.”

Though her response had been this, her expression looked sad. She must’ve remembered some bad memories of him.

“W-What if what Deokgu Oppa said… is correct… W-What should I do? What should I do?”

Park Deokgu glanced toward me before speaking up once more.

“Well, Hyung-nim will get revenge for you!”

Once again, this bastard reminded me of how annoying he really was.
