Hate Girl — Chapter 11

SEEING BUM-SEOK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS, HE LOOKED MUCH MORE DEPENDABLE.

I THOUGHT THAT ONCE WE WERE APART, THESE STICKY FEELINGS WOULD NATURALLY FADE AWAY...

BUT NO. I'M SO CRAZY ABOUT YOU NAGGING ME LIKE IT'S ONLY NATURAL, THAT IT MAKES MY CHEST ACHE.

I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT HIM BEING DEPENDABLE.

I HATE YOU.

DAMMIT.

I'M GOING TO MAKE MYSELF HATE YOU.

NO MATTER WHAT.

I WAS ON CLOUD NINE SEEING BUM-SEOK,

ONLY TO BE SLAMMED RIGHT BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

I'M SO DEPRESSED.

...MAYBE I SHOULD GET SOME ICE CREAM.

I HATE MYSELF FOR BEING SO SHAKEN BY A FEW SIMPLE WORDS.

I'M SICK OF FEELING DOWN.

WHO THE HELL...

...INVITED BUM-SEOK TO GET DRINKS?

HEY.

PUKE.

HUH?

YOU'RE REALLY SOMETHING ELSE...

...DO YOU REMEMBER THROWING UP ON MY FACE?

EXCUSE ME?!

THANKS TO YOU, I CAN'T KISS GIRLS ANYMORE.

I'M TRAUMATIZED. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

WH-WHAT IS THIS GUY EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!

I THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

WHAT?... WHAT?

WHAT???

YESTERDAY, I WAS ASKED TO JOIN A CLUB. I WENT TO THE CLUB ROOM, THEN WE WENT TO A PUB.

I MIXED A CRAZY AMOUNT OF SOJU AND BEER...

...AND THE PIZZA WAS REALLY GOOD...

AND THE BEER WAS ACTUALLY COLDER AND BETTER THAN I EXPECTED...

UM...

EXCUSE ME...

IF I... MADE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE YESTERDAY, I'M TRULY SORRY...

I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER WE STARTED MIXING DRINKS.

AH...

SHOULD I LIST THEM OUT FOR YOU, ONE BY ONE?

I'M SO SORRY...

I REALLY BLACKED OUT COMPLETELY...

MUST BE NICE, LIVING SUCH A CAREFREE LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW...

...HOW I CAN EVER MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

THE SHIRT I WORE YESTERDAY... IT WAS MY FAVORITE.

I WAS SO PISSED OFF I THREW IT AWAY.

I HAD TO GO HOME SHIVERING.

PAY ME BACK. I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER ONE PICKED OUT ANYWAY.

YES!!

WHATEVER IT IS, I'LL BUY IT FOR YOU!

I HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY FROM MY PART-TIME JOB!

WELL? ISN'T IT NICE?

THIS IS ACTUALLY... A COLLAB WITH OO.

HUH?

I DESIGNED THE LOGO.

AH, OKAY...

I THINK THERE'S AN EXTRA ZERO ON HERE... IS THIS A GLITCH?

WHAT ARE YOU, A POKÉMON? IS 'HUH' THE ONLY WORD YOU CAN SAY?

HUH...?

IT'S NICE. SAY IT'S NICE.

Y-YES...!

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

RIGHT?

NOW, GO PAY FOR IT.

THX~

I'LL BUY THE COFFEE.

ORDER WHATEVER YOU WANT.

YOU...

...KNOW YOU'RE A PSYCHO, RIGHT?

THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT.

I CAN'T EVEN TALK TO YOU!!

AH, RIGHT.

BUM-SEOK IS PRETTY HANDSOME.

I HEARD YOU'VE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM FOR A LONG TIME.

H-HOW...

...HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY HOURS OF COUNSELING I GAVE YOU YESTERDAY BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T LET ME GO?

A WHOPPING THREE HOURS. OR WAS IT FOUR?

...IT WAS MORE RIDICULOUS THAN GETTING HIT BY A CAR WHILE CROSSING ON A GREEN LIGHT WITH YOUR HAND UP.

IF I HAD WORKED DURING THOSE HOURS, I WOULD'VE MADE AT LEAST 300,000 WON.

...SO JUST CONSIDER THAT YOUR PAYMENT.

WHAT KIND OF CRAZY NONSENSE IS THAT?!

I'LL HELP YOU.

WITH WINNING BUM-SEOK OVER.

HOW?

PAY UP.

I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

OH, DEAR.

...THEN I GUESS WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

BUM-SEOK HAS THE PERFECT BUILD FOR GIRLS TO SWARM OVER.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO WIN HIM OVER? HMM?

...WHOA!

HOW MUCH WILL IT TAKE?!

100,000 WON AN HOUR.

DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY IT WAS 300,000 WON FOR FOUR HOURS?!

OH, LOOK WHO'S SMART.

PFFT, HAHA!

SINCE YOU BOUGHT ME THESE CLOTHES, I'LL HELP YOU. WITH WINNING BUM-SEOK OVER, THAT IS.

R-REALLY...? ...FOR REAL?

...ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME?

COME CLOSER.

LET ME SEE YOUR PHONE.

SURE.

HERE.

WHAT IS THIS?

A JEALOUSY STRATEGY,

WHERE YOU PRETEND YOU'RE DATING ME. GOT IT? ACT LIKE YOU'RE HEAD OVER HEELS.

YOU CALL THIS A STRATEGY?

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN FIND A STAND-IN WITH LOOKS AS GOOD AS MINE?

OOH...

YOU'RE TOTALLY NOT MY TYPE, THOUGH...

LOOK. BUM-SEOK IS GOING TO BE SEETHING WHEN HE SEES THIS TODAY.

I SAW IT.

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE CAME TO PICK YOU UP.

WHAT WAS IT?

HMM...

...LIKE A FATHER LOOKING AT HIS DAUGHTER.

AH! CUT THE CRAP!

...YOU'RE GIVING ME ACTUAL PTSD!!!!

...WELL, DAMN.

UNBELIEVABLE....
