/
The corners of his mouth rose with a smile. Haeun shook her head sullenly.
「Why? Aren’t you short of pocket money? Kid?」
Kid? Kiiid? Haeun was in a rage.
“I’m not Kid.”
「Oh, Korean?」
“An adult over the age of 20.”
「Are you on tour? Or study abroad?」
Each of them spoke only what they wanted to say in their own language. At that time, a man who might be a cheater encouraged Haeun.
「Let’s have one game. It’s just a game.」
“I don’t want to.”
Haeun firmly refused. However, the man, who couldn’t speak Korean, didn’t understand and put Haeun in her seat. Haeun was annoyed.
「I won’t do it.」
「What? You can speak English.」
「You guys are cheating.」
「There’s no way.」
The Hawaiian shirt man smiled.
「I’ll let you do the first round for free.」
Why is he so persistent? Haeun sighed.
「How much are you going to pay me if I win?」
「Five dollars to buy a corn dog from the food truck over there?」
「
Okay.」
It was an offer too tempting to refuse. It was because she was slightly hungry after taking pictures for a long time. The man smiled and held the dice.
「Now. You just need to find the cup with this dice in it.」
「
Okay.」
「Then here we go.」
The man puts the dice under the cup in the middle. And he soon began shuffling the cups around very lightly.
It was the first round, so it seemed like it would be easy, and she could follow the hand movement right away. The man asked.
「Now, which cup is it?」
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ shouts on the right side.]
“Here.”
Haeun picked out the cup chosen by the constellation. The corners of the man’s eyes narrowed at Haeun’s choice. The plastic cup lifted up and a small dice appeared underneath.
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ proudly says that Haeun can eat corn dogs thanks to him.]
「Now. Give me the money.」
Thinking of buying a hot dog with a lot of ketchup and mustard sauce on it, Haeun reached out her hand.
「Wait!」
「Why?」
「If you play one more game, it doubles. Don’t you want to drink coffee too? I heard Koreans like it. Coffee.」
“I knew this would happen.”
As expected, there is no way it will end with the first round. Haeun asked with a sigh.
「What if I lose?」
「Hmm. I paid for the first round, so you should bet something too. Ah, how about the one hanging on your arm?」
What the man pointed out was Haeun’s cute, adorable and lovely Noodles.
「I thought it would go well with my outfit.」
The man smiled slyly
The grade of Noodles was only rare, so it wasn’t actually a very good item. However, it has already become a precious existence to Haeun as a pet.
However, the person in front of her dares to treat such Noodles as an object and even asks for it!
Haeun raised her eyes disapprovingly.
Haeun has been worried about Noodles that have been sloppy lately. Just like a real snake falling into hibernation, the amount of time Noodles were asleep was gradually increasing.
Haeun, who was thinking of avoiding it, changed her mind. Haeun looks for the Constellation.
‘Help me.’
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ arrogantly says that it wouldn’t be fun if he just helped.]
‘If you don’t help me.’
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ asks Haeun how about coming out in return for his help.]
‘NetxFlix membership for 1 year.’
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ snorts, asking if Haeun was originally a subscriber.]
‘I’m going to cancel the payment.’
I will block all environments where you can watch dramas through me.
‘And I’m going to cancel the YouTube premium.’
Taste the commercial that comes back every five minutes!
Haeun’s declaration cut off the Constellation’s message. After a while, a loud voice rang out.
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ cries, how can Haeun plan such a vicious act?]
[He didn’t see it that way, but Haeun is very vicious and bites off the handkerchief.]
[If she does this, Haeun will suffer as well, and he advises her to reconsider.]
‘I can stand it.’
To protect the honor of our cute and lovely Noodles!
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ feels an unbreakable will from Haeun.]
[He sighs and says he can’t help it.]
[He will work hard to cooperate with Haeun, so he urge her not to think like that.]
The Constellation kindly responded to Haeun’s help. Having obtained the Constellation’s voluntary cooperation, Haeun crossed her arms and glared at the man.
‘How dare you covet my cute Noodles.’
I will make sure you will go bankrupt.
「Okay. Instead, if I win, it’s one $100 for each win. Are you still going to do it?」
「Oh, are you confident? Deal.」
Let’s give this man an example for asking for someone else’s pet.
A devilish smile came to Haeun’s lips.
****
「Right.」
Haeun, who was glaring at the cups placed side by side, declared.
The man whose smile disappeared before he knew it lifted the paper cup with a trembling hand. In the hidden space under the cup, a small dice was snatched in cheekily.
Haeun laughed.
「Wow, I won again.」
「This is ridiculous.」
The man in front of Haeun was wearing the same expression Seo Dojoon had when he lost in the Halli Galli match. Haeun snorted at him and snatched the dice from the man’s hand.
「If you’re an adult, you should know how to accept the outcome. What do you mean ridiculous?」
「Kid, are you a player?」
「No, I’m a perfectly good ordinary citizen.」
「This is a lie.」
The man muttered in despair. He had already lost to Haeun over ten times.
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ praised himself for his hard work, saying that he safely protected the right to watch the drama.]
All of these were victories under the protection of the Constellation.
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is said to be in the middle.]
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is laughing at the left side]
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ is angry that all three cups are nothing and that brat tried to take out the bottom.]
Every time the opponent tried to cheat, he let Haeun know about it and led Haeun to a 10-game winning streak.
「Wow! That Asian girl won again!」
「How many rounds has she won?」
「The amount is already a thousand dollars?」
Before she knew it, Haeun’s side was full of people who had come to watch. It would be strange to see the night rock in a peaceful park, but seeing a girl overcome without hesitation, they were amazed.
They thought it was a swindler’s tactic to lure in the onlookers, but it didn’t seem like that when they saw the swarthy man’s expression stained dark.
Finally, the Hawaiian guy announced his abandonment.
「Stop!」
「Why? I still want to do more.」
Haeun, who earned more than 1 million won in an instant, giggled.
「Don’t you want this bracelet?」
「Enough, Kid. You won.」
「That’s why, I’m not a kid.」
「Then what’s your name?」
The man smiled slyly and asked for Haeun’s name.
It’s not like they’re going to see each other twice anyway. Haeun, who was thinking for a while, just told him her name.
「Haeun.」
「My name is Rick.」
「Yes, Rick, it was nice to meet you and give me my money.」
[The Constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ says that cheaters are over there, but Haeun is more like a robber.]
Rick scratched the dollars in the money box with a melancholy look. She doesn’t know, but all the money he earned today must have been lost.
Haeun, who snatched Rick’s money like a bird, made a fan out of the money and fluttered around viciously.
「Uhm~. The smell of money.」
「My hotel bill
」
「People should know how to earn money fairly. Hmm? A scam like this.」
Haeun grinned.
「Since I caught you today, do you reflect on yourself now? This is my pocket money—」
“Haeun-ssi?”
“Uh!”
Haeun jumped up in surprise when someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
Looking back, Seo Dojoon was looking down at Haeun with eyes as if asking why she was here. Seo Dojoon had two cups of coffee and a Turkish sandwich in his hand.
‘Ah, that’s right.’
I came here with Seo Dojoon today!
She completely forgot Seo Dojoon’s existence because it was fun to win all the time.
‘Are you nagging me that I’ve been walking around again?’
Sure enough, Seo Dojoon slowly opened his mouth, showing an uncomfortable feeling.
“I definitely
”
Then she must attack first.
“Where have you been that you’re coming now!”
Haeun yelled at him suddenly. Seo Dojoon opened his eyes wide.
She has to strike first before her opponent comes to his senses. Haeun fired at him as if a storm was raging.
“I was worried because I thought something dangerous happened to Seo Dojoon-ssi!”
“I’m not the one to worry about, but Haeun-ssi—”
“How scary the world is! My mom said that people should be more careful than in dungeons. How can you walk around so dangerously by yourself? To make people worry.”
Haeun intentionally let out an exaggerated sigh. Seo Dojoon, who was fascinated, said reflexively.
“I apologize.”
“It’s enough if you understand. It’s dangerous now, so don’t go around alone.”
“Yes.”
The loud voice Haeun won.
Seo Dojoon’s eyes touched a bundle of money in Haeun’s hands.
“What is that money?”
“Ah, this
”
Haeun looked back.
However, Rick, who had been sitting in front of Haeun until just now, had disappeared.
