Calibrating the NTR Drift in the Light Novel - MTL

Late at night, a little after 10 p.M., Lee Yu-ri's cell phone vibrated while she was studying in her room.

Lee Yu-ri checked her cell phone without thinking and was surprised to see the sender of her message, so she stopped working on her workbook for a moment.

"Han Seong-jin…? Why is he…"

When I checked the contents, there was a fairly short message.

[Han Seong-jin]: Hey, are you free this Saturday? No, in time. Let's date

Seeing her last words, Yuri fanned her hand to cool her flushed face.

"What is it, boy? You didn't even give me time? Did you leave something for me? And what about the date… Why are you doing that with me…"

– Because I like you.

At that moment, Han Seong-jin's voice, which she heard on Saturday, suddenly popped out of Yu-ri Lee's head.

"Why do I… Do I…"

When she came to her senses, Yuri Lee had already sent a reply.

[Me]: Where are you going? I won't go to an escape room café

"Ahh! Ah! You're being swayed by this bastard again! What are you really doing!"

After sending her reply, Yuri grabbed her cell phone, fell on her bed, pounded her head on the pillow, and screamed.

Han Seong-jin's reply arrived quickly before Yu-ri Lee could finish wrestling with her pillow.

[Han Seong-jin]: I don't have any money, so it's going to be a bit difficult until I get my paycheck… I guess going to an arcade or playing video games will work, right? Before that, you can walk to a nearby park or a walking trail. Let's play briefly and briefly and then part ways before dinner. Call?

[Me]: That's enough… Okay

[Han Seong-jin]: Okay then, let's meet during the day on Saturday and see you tomorrow and come out nicely!

[Me]: Do you really want to talk nonsense? I'm going to study, so I won't reply any more

There were no more chats from Han Seong-jin, but Lee Yu-ri was still lying on her bed, continuously scrolling through the short chat she had with Han Seong-jin.

Continuing from last week, I got to spend time with Han Seong-jin this weekend.

It won't be a luxurious course like last time, but I thought it would be nice to walk together in a quiet park.

'But… Walking in the park just the two of us is huge, something only couples would do…'

– Because I like you.

Han Seong-jin's voice in her heart came out again, and Yuri buried her face completely in her pillow out of shame.

Although she pretended to reluctantly accept through her chat, she was actually quite happy that Han Seong-jin wanted to meet with her again this week, just like last week.

It felt like steam was rising between my two ears that were not buried in the pillow and the back of my head.

Lee Yu-ri was secretly happy about Han Seong-jin's date proposal, but she hated herself a little more.

#####

Perhaps because she took the opportunity to get along with Gong Young-bae, Choi Soo-yeon's frequency of doing other things increased significantly this week.

She even made up a lie to go on a dinner date with Gongyoung Bae today, which was Wednesday, and made her manager work as a substitute.

Was the girl blinded by love that scary?

'Really, Gong Young-bae, you're such a bastard too. Even if you treat him just a little bit well, he likes it so much, but he's so greedy that he just takes care of that kid.'

Meanwhile, her manager, who did not know the reason why Soo-yeon Choi missed her part-time job, felt sorry for her because it was her first time working peacefully.

"Sooyeon is really unlucky. There isn't a day like today where Mija doesn't come over to smoke, but why did she hurt her leg today?"

"Oh, the manager, you don't know."

"Huh? What don't you know?"

"Now, no one will come to this convenience store to smoke cigarettes."

"Huh? Why? That was the biggest problem at our store, so why all of a sudden?"

"As long as I'm here, you won't come. Because I told you not to come. No, should I say that you 'can't' come more accurately?"

"…?"

"Anyway, nothing will happen while I'm here. So, manager, don't cut me off and make sure you keep using me for a long time."

"Huh? Well, yeah…"

While she was working, Soo-yeon Choi would occasionally send me photos of her dating Gong Young-bae, and she would brag about it.

Apparently, the date course I went to with Lee Yuri was scheduled to go on the weekend.

She sent her several photos, including one with only half of her face showing on her cell phone and one with Gong Young-bae visible behind her, and one that looked like it was taken by Gong Young-bae, and she kept saying, 'Aren't you jealous? 'Aren't you jealous?'

She boasted.

And after she boasted like that, she made sure to make sure to take good care of Yuri, senior, if you don't want to lose him!

I could roughly guess why Sooyeon Choi was like this.

'He didn't really like Yuri to begin with.'

In her original work, Love in School, Choi Soo-yeon was quite disapproving of Lee Yu-ri.

She had ample reason not to like him, since she was basically the childhood friend of the man she liked.

On top of that, Choi Soo-yeon was ostensibly one of the second-year students, and Lee Yu-ri was the type of idiot who really disliked those students, so they couldn't get along well with each other.

Choi Soo-yeon was the character who was always impatient, thinking that she was being pushed out by Yu-ri Lee, but she probably didn't want to miss this opportunity since I showed signs of things going well with her.

If only Lee Yu-ri is eliminated, the only people left for Gong Young-bae will be Choi Soo-yeon and Jeong Eun-ji. She must have judged that she has a chance of winning because the relationship between Jung Eun-ji and Gong Young-bae is not as deep as Lee Yu-ri's.

Therefore, she thought that the better I did with Lee Yu-ri, the better Choi Soo-yeon would do with Gong Young-bae, so she kept encouraging me.

There would be no way to know whose position is actually being encouraged.

I said nice things to Choi Soo-yeon's beat, such as 'It looks good' or 'It looks good on you,' and Choi Soo-yeon got even more excited and chattered with her chat.

[Choi Soo-yeon]: If Youngbae and I officially date, I will at least give him a treat! What do you want to eat? Chicken Ribs? Chicken? Pizza? Just say anything!

[Me]: Really? Did you make a promise with your mouth? I don't refuse anything given to me

Of course, unfortunately, I will never get food from Choi Su-yeon for the above reasons.

#####

The week went by in an instant.

It was natural, but the rumors about me and Lee Yu-ri did not last long and died down quickly.

Not only did I act threateningly once, and Yuri Lee was also criticized for the completely false fact that she 'got into trouble with me', and she wasn't a celebrity to begin with, nor was she even a source of gossip worth burning for a long time.

And today, Saturday, I had three events scheduled.

The first is a date with Lee Yu-ri.

The second is to drive a wedge into making Choi Soo-yeon my woman.

The third and final one is…

[Hwang Seong-tae]: You know that today's meeting is at 7 PM, right? We'll all meet up, eat meat, and then move to the empty lot next to our hideout in xx-dong. The kids will prepare all the drinks, and we've also put all the bikes on standby.

[Me]: Got it

It was the day of the Jinsugyo school year integrated Iljin meeting.

In this meeting, which had been decided since the beginning of the semester, Han Seong-jin originally reigned as the king.

Meat, alcohol, and cigarettes were all given to those in the first and second grades. In the king game, the king was always chosen, and Sodom and Gomorrah was recreated by making people strip as they wanted.

He would take any woman he liked and have fun with him, and when he got tired of it, he would bring in another woman.

From 1st grade to 3rd grade, the first choice for all the girls was Han Seong-jin, and the other guys just took the girls that Han Seong-jin threw.

However, I did not go to the Iljin meeting to rule as a king like usual.

I'm thinking of leaving this meeting after showing my face at dinner to declare that I will completely withdraw from this meeting and never get involved again.

That's all for now, we have to give Yuri a good time while we're together.

When I looked outside, I saw a lot of rain falling.

"It's not a good day for a date."

If Choi Soo-yeon and Gong Young-bae give up their date due to the weather, the meaning of today will be greatly diminished.

Before leaving, I sent a text message to Suyeon Choi to check the situation.

[Me]: Are you guys going on a date today too?

When I saw the reply that came a little later, I smiled happily.

[Choi Su-yeon]: Yes! I'm going to follow the date course my senior told me about! Rain like this can't stop me!!

"I heard it's good to have the ability to take action."

After checking Sooyeon Choi's schedule, I quickly got ready and left the house to meet her.

When I went in front of Yuri Lee's house, I saw her looking up at the rainy sky from inside the first floor entrance of her apartment.

As I waved her hand from the parking lot, Yuri came straight out and approached me, opening her umbrella.

"The weather isn't very good today."

"But you were looking forward to going on a date with me, right?"

"I didn't expect it."

The expression on his face says, "I was looking forward to it," But what.

I laughed and approached Yuri Lee.

"But why do you open the umbrella?"

"What are you talking about? It's raining."

"Just one is enough."

"…?"

"I just have to go like this."

"Kya?!"

I hugged Yuri's waist and pulled her towards me, and she came helplessly into my arms.

Yuri Lee shouted in a voice full of embarrassment.

"Ooh, umbrella! The umbrella is broken!"

"Then just fold it."

"What are you talking about? Why are you like this? Why are you like this?"

"Are you going to fold the umbrella?"

I asked while looking directly into Yuri's eyes, and when our eyes met, Yuri opened her mouth and lowered her head.

"Wow…"

Then she closed her umbrella.
