Don't You Need an Omega Lucky Charm - Chapter 12.2
“Um… Can I greet you every time I see you in the future, Senior?”
“Are you saying you will approach me openly?”
“It is not that, it just means I will say hello. Who knows?”
Ha-on pointed at Cha Jeongwon’s cell phone.
“Senior, you received the phone call about winning the suite room when you were with me, right? Maybe it was thanks to me that you won that suite room.”
Of course, it was not something he said with genuine conviction.
Believing that good fortune came instead of misfortune thanks to himself would be an overinflated ego.
“Aren’t you going to school?”
“I was planning to go.”
This time, Ha-on moved first. At Ha-on’s relaxed attitude as he even whistled, Cha Jeongwon’s expression grew even darker.
***
In the afternoon class, right after the lecture started, the classroom door opened. Ha-on raised his head.
The person who entered was Cha Jeongwon.
Although they came to school together, there was time left before class, so they parted ways for a bit. However, Cha Jeongwon entered later than Ha-on.
He wondered what had happened, but unless Cha Jeongwon told him, there was no way for Ha-on to know.
Toward Cha Jeongwon, who roughly found an empty seat and sat down, people’s gazes gathered.
The sunlight penetrating through the window clearly revealed the outline of his face. Between his black hair scattering like residual light, a neat forehead was glimpsed.
‘We will keep running into each other often in the future too.’
If so, Ha-on could not be free from Cha Jeongwon’s misfortune either.
‘And I experienced it, didn’t I?’
What if he had lived as unfortunately as Cha Jeongwon his whole life?
‘Hmm, considering that, his personality might actually be on the really good side.’
At that level, it was practically silk-grade.
Even while grumbling, he still answered, and his fierce-looking gaze was, if one knew the truth, simply because his eyes were born shaped that way.
Ha-on raised his cell phone and reflected on his face. Round, gentle eyes were reflected.
With the intent to scowl, he narrowed his eyes. As expected, he looked easygoing.
He tried raising only one corner of his mouth. He looked even more easygoing.
“What are you doing?”
From the side, Kim Hyeongyu looked at him with a strange gaze. Ha-on quietly put his cell phone down.
“I am envious of the suite room.”
It was a suite room, start to finish.

“Hey, you didn’t forget that today is the welcome party, right? Don’t stray off somewhere else.”
As soon as the lecture ended, Kim Hyeongyu stood as if blocking the way in front of him, so Ha-on stopped his hand that was zipping up his bag.
“I told you I wasn’t going.”
“Why do you keep saying you won’t go?”
“That kind of gathering is burdensome to me. If you got hired as the youngest at some company and had a company dinner, would you like it if the section chief and department head came?”
“Isn’t that taking it too far? Section chief, department head. It’s the last time anyway. If not this time, you can never go for the rest of your life.”
“That is why I am not going.”
Since Kim Hyeongyu had even served as the class representative in his third year, attending such gatherings would not be awkward for him.
However, Ha-on found such gatherings burdensome. Moreover, additional expenses usually occurred at such events.
Just as he rejected it flatly, Kim Hyeongyu pulled out his wallet and delivered the final blow.
“You can just drop in briefly and leave. For the second round, my treat for whatever you want to eat.”
“What time are we gathering?”
His reply was fast to the point that even Ha-on himself felt embarrassed.
With a smirk on his face, Kim Hyeongyu put his arm around his shoulder.
“We can just walk over slowly. For your information, today… Not bad.”
At the words spoken while scanning him up and down, Ha-on glared displeasantly. Why act like this all of a sudden when he saw him this morning too?
“Take away those disloyal eyes.”
Pushing away Kim Hyeongyu, who was clinging annoyingly, Ha-on’s thoughts reached Cha Jeongwon.
Welcome party. Alcohol. A crowded indoor space.
‘Don’t tell me he would even come out there.’
He did not look like the type to enjoy such gatherings, and he had never heard rumors that Cha Jeongwon used assistants. He wouldn’t seek out a place like this on purpose.
At that moment, catching sight of a long silhouette exiting the classroom, Kim Hyeongyu shouted.
“Hey, let’s ask Senior Jeongwon to go together too.”
“Don’t.”
Ha-on grabbed his arm with his hand first. Then he realized it was already too late.
Kim Hyeongyu raised his uncaptured hand high and shouted.
“Senior! Are you going to the welcome party today?”
Cha Jeongwon stopped in his tracks. The gaze turning back looked somehow more exhausted than when he saw him before class.
“Everyone is waiting for you, Senior. How about coming along to get acquainted too?”
Kim Hyeongyu coaxed Cha Jeongwon with very polite words.
Kim Hyeongyu was the one who spoke to him, but Cha Jeongwon’s gaze remained continuously fixed on Ha-on.
