'How darkly did they leave that kiss mark?'
It's usually a mark that doesn't fade easily, but to think it would be so noticeable to others.
Neither Melanie, Kang Taemin, nor even Kim Minsu said anything about this mark.
Even reporters didn't notice at all, so what kind of bolt from the blue is this?
'The three were more focused on the gate, and the reporters...'
Because I said I wouldn't take personal questions?
I'm so grateful for protecting my privacy to that extent, I could cry.
"Taeyang, I can hear the sound of you racking your brains from here. Why are you looking for excuses when you could just be honest? I'm really not angry and it's okay, okay? Do I need to say more?"
Usually, when faced with such situations on Earth, I used to respond very shamelessly.
Starting with "Why are you curious about that?" and ending with lines like "I'd appreciate if you didn't mind such trivial things."
When responding like this, most women would apologize first, saying they were sorry for misunderstanding.
'Back then, everything ended after just exchanging a few words.'
The situation is very different now.
The biggest difference is that I need to take Yumin to the ending of this novel.
No matter what, I had to prevent our relationship from becoming distant.
"Taeyang, why are you taking so long? Is it really a kiss mark so you can't speak?"
"Come on, how is this a kiss mark?"
After being silent, I finally found the answer.
'A real kiss mark?'
Yumin wasn't completely certain about it being a kiss mark right now.
'Or even if she knows it's a kiss mark, she doesn't want to believe it.'
Whether she's avoiding the truth or doubting the real intention, anyway, in this situation where it's not yet confirmed.
If it's like this, I could create any number of escape routes.
"It's not a kiss mark? But why didn't you answer properly to my words earlier and only now?"
"I didn't have a chance to speak, and um... Yumin, you're using your skill right now."
"Huh? Oh... oops... Sorry, I didn't know."
Yumin's blazing hair calms down again.
'At least I've calmed her down.'
The reason I didn't answer properly until now was because she was too angry.
Once anger invades the body, no matter what you say, the result can only go in the direction of "I'm sorry."
However, if you wait for the other person to calm down a bit and then attempt conversation?
'You get a chance to win, like now.'
What I felt while having disputes with numerous women is that when a woman responds emotionally, it's best to stay still.
How could you persuade a woman burning with emotion by trying to approach rationally?
The right approach was to first receive all of Yumin's anger and then attempt conversation when the anger has cooled a bit.
This was the reason I had been sparing with words until now.
"I hadn't seen it either, so it took a long time thinking about what this could be."
"You hadn't seen it either?"
"If I had seen it, would I have called you today saying I wanted to see you? I was really flustered and couldn't speak."
It might not make sense.
What I said just before and what I'm saying now could all be wrong.
But right now, in this situation, that's not what's important.
'Just emphasize that I didn't know about the kiss mark and that I called because I wanted to see you.'
In male-female relationships, immediately apologizing or taking a submissive stance when fighting is what amateurs do.
From the moment you admit fault and apologize, a superior-subordinate relationship forms and you lose the initiative.
The last line must unconditionally end with "I wanted to see you" or "I love you" to keep a firm grip on the flow of the relationship.
"R-really?"
Yumin still hadn't let go of her thread of doubt.
Well, it would be suspicious to suddenly speak fluently after not saying anything just a few minutes ago.
However, whether what's on my neck is a kiss mark or not was no longer important.
"Of course, I contacted you like this because I wanted to see you. How surprised would I be if I suddenly heard about a kiss mark? Your hair was even blazing."
I smiled playfully, contrasting with Yumin's bewildered expression.
Instead of responding seriously, you need to give the feeling of "I'm dying to see you, why are you dragging this out?"
"Ah... no, I..."
Yumin, unable to adapt to the suddenly changing atmosphere, tapped the toe of her shoe on the floor.
Perhaps because she heard "I wanted to see you" repeatedly, she had a strange expression, unable to get angry anymore but also unable to smile.
"Or did you look at it like that because you wanted to leave a kiss mark?"
"...That's... right..."
I tightly embraced Yumin's waist as she slipped into my arms with a broad smile.
"I really missed you so much, Taeyang, but when I thought you might have been rolling around with some other woman, I got so angry... I'm sorry..."
"That can happen, what's the big deal? We can just resolve it like this and kiss."
Smooch.
Sweet words of missing each other and affectionate skinship.
Using these two appropriately, I embraced Yumin and slowly closed the house door.
'It's really hard to have sex.'
Setting up a sex angle even in unfavorable situations is the attitude of a pro.

"Eek...!"

[Hello. This is a notification from Greenhat regarding the account suspension of IndomitableHeroKimMinsu.]
Hello, IndomitableHeroKimMinsu.
We inform you that the account nickname 'IndomitableHeroKimMinsu' has been permanently suspended as the number of malicious comment reports has exceeded a certain cumulative threshold.
---------------------------------=
"Why am I suspended!"
Bang!
Minsu vented his anger by slamming his fist on the innocent keyboard.
Why do they suppress individual freedom of speech even when speaking the truth?
"That bastard Baek Taeyang gets articles for everything he does! I entered the gate too, but they only highlight one person! Only remembering the first place, how dirty..."
He felt very wronged.
It was that guy who entered the dungeon the Pure Love Story Writer made for him without permission.
And if he entered, he should have just helped with the clearing and left, but to monopolize all my rewards.
He wanted to let everyone in the world know about this evil side of Baek Taeyang.
'But I'm a bit scared of getting sued...'
The places backing Baek Taeyang were increasing.
Starting with Choi Youngnam of Bogeum, to Lee Minjun, the MC of the hunter world, and even Opener Kang Taemin who's swaying public opinion.
Each one was a big shot not easily seen.
Not only that, but even Kaiban, which he was originally supposed to model for, was focusing on Baek Taeyang.
"What's so great about that bastard..."
Minsu browsed the internet and enlarged the worst-looking photo of Baek Taeyang he could find.
Then he took out a hand mirror and started comparing with the screen, trying to make a somewhat objective evaluation.
"He doesn't look that different from me..."
Honestly, I should be above average in looks too, so why do they only praise him like that?
"Is it because he speaks impressively..."
Minsu played Baek Taeyang's interview video and imitated his way of speaking.
"...Because I've proven myself..."
He tried speaking in the lowest voice possible and making it resonate, but it wasn't easy to do it like him.
Still, if you look closely from various angles, there were aspects where his own voice might be better.
Not everyone would like such a heavy, cave-like resonating voice.
"I was thinking of moving too..."
Why don't I even get articles?
It was too strange.
'Is it too burdensome to approach me because of my hero image?'
Not a single article came out about the lovey-dovey cohabitation house he had been looking into since the first day of dating Yumin.
Wondering if everyone just didn't know, he even went to a real estate agency near the broadcasting station on purpose.
But there wasn't a single reporter rushing in with a camera to be seen.
Now at rock bottom, to the point where he couldn't even guess where things went wrong.
A new change was needed.
"My main skill was strengthened too... If I properly utilize Don Quixote's boasts, it could be amazing... No, really, if I just had a chance... Not like Baek Taeyang's lucky break, but a proper chance..."
In Minsu's brain, the circumstances of how he learned about the classic masterpiece [The Tale of Chunhyang] gate had long disappeared.
All that was in Minsu's head now was only about the benefits and attention Baek Taeyang gained, and about Melanie.
"Why isn't she replying suddenly?"
(Melanie)
>What are you doing? ㅋㅋ
>It's me, Minsu ㅋㅋ Just ㅋㅋ contacted to see what you're up to ㅋㅋㅋ
>We have spent time together and all, so suddenly cutting off contact doesn't seem right, you know, now about our connection ㅋㅋ I'm a year older than you so it might be a bit presumptuous, but if I were to give advice
>You even offered me the modeling job, and although the weapons ultimately went to Baek Taeyang? I think they were made with me in mind to some extent, so that's why I'm contacting you
>You know that I have more potential than Baek Taeyang, right?
It seems like she replied well up to about twice.
After that, the indicating unread messages wasn't disappearing.
'Is she busy?'
Minsu couldn't even guess the reason.
