The shocked and distressed male students!
Lee Hyun also felt like he had been greatly fooled. While frequently meeting Seo-yoon here and there, much of his initial awkwardness and wariness had decreased. They had gone through the MT (membership training) and the festival, and he could even say that they had become friends of a sort while eating lunch together. Seo-yoon did often hit him on the back of the head, but now he could even let that slide with a laugh.
However, for Seo-yoon to be the owner of the lunchbox, he was inevitably tense.
‘With what kind of secret design did she…’
Lee Hyun was suspicious from the get-go. He was guilty for not putting up his guard and being defenseless while eating lunch.
‘That’s right! That was no good. It was foolish, no different from being fooled by a loan company that says it’ll let you borrow money for ten days with no interest.’
A fierce self-reflection on his careless blunder!
Seo-yoon approached and extended the note.
You’ll listen to my request, right?
Lee Hyun trembled like an aspen. ‘So she was aiming for this moment! And for over 1 month…’
Pigs are also slaughtered after feeding them well. She had made him eat many lunches planned on making an excessive request by seizing that vulnerability!
However, Lee Hyun did not want to live with a debt. Interest would grow on the debt, and eventually it would be a quagmire he could never escape.
“If it’s a suitable request within feasibility… I’ll listen to it.”
As if relieved, she pulled out a note she had prepared beforehand.
Half Sauce Half Fried needs a friend.
“Half Sauce Half Fried?” Lee Hyun tilted his head.
Wasn’t that distinctive name passed down from the chickens he raised at home?
He soon realized that she was talking about the chicken she had taken at the MT.
“You need a chicken?”
Seo-yoon nodded.
Lee Hyun didn’t hide his breath-choking tension and asked again. “A female that can lay eggs?”
Seo-yoon had just wanted to bring him a friend. She hadn’t thought of the gender divide in advance. However, since Half Sauce was a male, if it came down to it, bringing a female would be better. Seo-yoon nodded again.
At that, Lee Hyun’s eyes trembled. He was forcing himself to resist an incomparably anguished expression.
‘A laying female is more expensive… the one we’re raising right now in particular is the whelp that ate up half the balloon flower root I picked up in the mountain last time.’
[T/N: Balloon flower root is a common medicinal herb.]
Even so, if he calculated the price of the lunches, a single chicken could be considered fairly inexpensive.
Lee Hyun answered in the affirmative. “Alright. Well… I will bring her tomorrow.”
But Seo-yoon was shaking her head.
I want to bring her after seeing her myself.
At the contents of the note that she had prepared beforehand, Lee Hyun thought for a moment and agreed.
“Fine. You can pick her yourself.”
He was under the illusion that their relationship lacked trust.
‘It seems she wants to pick the best chicken since she’s packed many lunches. The most nutritious and expensive chicken.’
The chickens had been raised well to an extremely high caliber. The laying females would even fly around flapping their wings soon after laying an egg. Since they all had about the same value as the market price, he had permitted her to come to his house.

Lee Hyun walked with Seo-yoon all the way to his house.
The men who saw her on the street stood dumbly and rubbed their eyes several times before staring at her again. Both men and women were unable to take their eyes of them. They looked like they couldn’t believe their eyes as they stared at the far too beautiful Seo-yoon. Their gazes stolen by Seo-yoon, they couldn’t overcome their curiosity and studied the man who was walking by her side.
‘Just what kind of lucky person is walking around with a woman like that?’
Lee Hyun was extremely normal, and was wearing a well worn t-shirt and faded blue jeans.
‘Why is a bastard like that… did he seize some kind of vulnerability?!’
‘He’s rich! His family is definitely rich. He’s either a wealthy person with thousands of millions of Won at a young age or his inheritance is enormous.’
‘The power of love is great.’
Looks of jealousy and envy shot at him, but Lee Hyun stood firm whenever that happened. “Appearance isn’t everything in the world. The heart is important.” He knew Seo-yoon’s true identity. She was vicious, violent, and even underhanded. The worst, as far as her humanity went!
Even if her face was so pretty that it made breathing difficult, it was absolutely no good if you fell for her because of that.
“Even if a woman can cook pretty well, has a lot of money, is skinny, has a good figure, and is pretty, wears some pretty good clothing, and is smart, it’s not necessarily good.”
If she was bright enough to get into the University of Korea, then she had to be considered brilliant. Even though they took math together, Seo-yoon solved the practice
