Boyfriend Material
"Uhhh, will get off of me anytime soon?"
"What a dumb question. No"
After hearing So-young's affirmative answer, I wryly smile and just accept my fate. My fate as a lap pillow for an indefinite amount of time.
Ever since I hugged her and apologized to her for befriending A-yeong, she has been a bit clingy. Honestly, I'm not sure if we are dating.
I'm sure that people would consider us to be dating and I wouldn't mind dating her. I guess I'll just have to see what happens during highschool.
Well, what's in highschool? In my first year of highschool, Mi-young, my ex-girlfriend from my past life, transferred to RF and we became classmates.
She eventually asked me out and sadly, we broke up during college due to my negligence.
"So-young, are we dating or what?"
"H-h-huh? Wh-why are you asking that, dummy...don't make me say it"
'So that's a yes...wait, maybe...Feelie? Is there something for me?'
[woohoo! You guess the secret quest! That's actually really impressive for someone like you, an oak tree filled with nothing but swimming. I'll give you the rewards in just a bit]
—————————
SECRET! SHHH!
You completed a se-se-se-se-se-secret quest! Ding ding ding!
Set sail! 🚣♂️ (2/???) ┃ Secret! ┃
Reward: ₲250 ┃ A cool emoticon! ┃ Title: Pirate
This is what you get for stealing a maiden's heart!
—————————
'Huh...come to think of it Feelie, doesn't it say that I got a title? If I remember correctly, it said that I got a title before...where is it?'
[neat! You finished the secret quest!]
'Where is my title...?'
[congrats on completing the quest!]
'Feelie! Where is my title, damn it'
[ughhhhh...your title...I actually need maybe 3 hours to comprehend it. According to the awesome, epic koppa, he didn't except you to be so observant]
Hearing Feelie's explanation, I can't help but accept his answer. This has happened quite a lot where I'm cheated out of some things.
Finishing my chat with Feelie, I turn my attention back to So-young who was blushing all over my lap.
Even with my pants on, I could feel the heat gathering to her face and from where I am, her ear has gone all red.
Knowing that we are dating now, I start acting more like a boyfriend. I'll be hoonestl,y my first thought when she said that- sorry, when she DIDN'T say that we were dating...
My first thought was 'practice'. Practice for Mi-young. However, I respect her too much to see her as a tool for me to be better to Mi-young.
She's a good girl and who knows? Maybe I'll fall in love or something. Something I realized my second time around was that I shouldn't stick to my old life too much.
Yeah, I'm becoming a swimmer and yes I let my brother get interested in military dramas, but when it comes to dating, I should keep my doors open.
At least try out some other people. Isn't that what high school is about? Dating many women and trying new stuff.
No? Only me who dates lots and lots women here? Well, I'm sure that some other high schoolers are as lucky as I am. To date lots of women however, it isn't as easy as you think.
You need looks, yes, but you should also be emotional invested into the relationship as well as...slightly financially invested. Not too much, but enough for a dinner or two.
To act like a proper boyfriend to this girl, I had made some steps when I was still 13 years old and I first intended to use this on Mi-young first, but So-young is still a good pick.
If I don't stay with her and marry her in the future, then the man who does will be a very happy man. Well, not that I think she'll accept marriage to someone other than me, but whatever.
Step one in acting like a proper boyfriend!
You first need to be, as I said, emotionally invested into the relationship. You need to hear the girl out, be a wall for her to rant her problems to and whatever you do.
If she trash talks another girl, even if that girl did nothing wrong and it's blatantly your girlfriend's fault, side with your girlfriend. Unless you want to break up, Side. With. Your. Girl.
Step two to being a good boyfriend!
Don't be boring. By this, you should be able to talk back to your girlfriend when you are talking about opinionated topics. For example, the best sports team, the best k-pop group, etc.
Have opinions, but don't shove them down her throat. That's for later, so be patient.
Step three in being a good boyfriend!
Be patient when shopping with her. If you are shopping and it's been three hours since you arrived and you don't have anything in the shopping cart, have a smile and tell her to continue looking.
Also, don't be afraid to tell her if she looks bad in a dress. Sometimes, they really want some criticism. Flattery gets you places, but in only some situations.
So in short: side with your girl, be patient, have opinions but don't shove them down her throat and finally, tell her when she's ugly.
On that last step, do be careful with your word choice.
Saying "you look hideous, you cow" is different from saying "that dress makes you look fatter than you really are". See? Word choice.
Recalling these steps, I smirk like an evil villain. To add to that, I'm stroking a cat...well, I'm stroking a So-young on my lap, but it's good enough.
Unfortunately, So-young and I lost track of time while binge watching a TV show and while she was getting her head pat.
*ding dooongg*
"I'm hooome~"
The front door to my house opens to reveal Jung, mom and dad. Dad with his usual sleepy face, mom with her doting eyes staring at Jung and Jung looking more tired than dad.
The lazy "I'm hooome~" was testament to that. I'm sure he worked pretty hard for that MMA tournament of his. I think I'll try and introduce it to him. No need to force it.
When my family realized what they walked in on, each of them had their reactions. Mom was surprised and made an "ara ara" noise, dad was a bit less surprised and just rubbed his eyes while Jung was smirking like a hyena.
"Ohohoho! Since when did THIS happen, eh?"
"Ara ara...Min-chul ah, you brought So-young over?"
"Ughhh...good night everybody"
As a regular girl, So-young got very embarrassed when she heard the door opening and actually made our situation a bit worse.
She took the blanket over us and when my family entered the living room, she hid her body under the blanket, giving the illusion that she was naked.
Hoooo boy, hopefully mom is more understanding. Dad would probably just tell me to keep it in my room, but mom is a girl. She might try sympathizing with So-young or something.
"I-I-I'm sorry! I don't mean anything!"
"Sorry? For what? Don't worry about it"
Mom tilts her head with a confused look on her face and after So-young calms down, she even invited her to dinner. Thankfully, So-young declined.
That would be a bit awkward.
With that out of the way, I needed to confront Feelie once more about my new titles.
'Feelie, the titles should be done by now, right?'
[yup. Wait. Let me make some sound effects first...ahem ahem]
[great job on the new title, you stud! In fact, you even got two titles! How great is that?]
