That Face Is the Problem - vanish into fiction

Of course, no matter how temperamental Da-sol was, he wasn’t such a nutcase that he would recklessly slash his own face with mirror shards. Moreover, he had no desire to engage in self-harm.

He got up abruptly, quickly cleaned up the broken mirror, and went down to Jae-gyeong’s place.

Unlike the distressed Da-sol, Jae-gyeong, who had been lying in bed, smiling happily, and had fallen into a nap, woke up startled by the sound of the doorbell and the urgent pounding on the door.

He jumped up as if he had been burned and opened the front door.

“Mr. Da-sol…?”

“You just open the door without checking who it is? Are you crazy… no, are you just that confident in your own strength?”

Da-sol, who was about to lash out and ask if he was crazy, held it in and corrected himself with polite language. It didn’t particularly sound like polite language, but it was the best Da-sol could do.

“No, it’s just that there’s only Mr. Da-sol who hits the door this hard while ringing the doorbell…. I opened it knowing it was you….”

“Geez….”

Da-sol suddenly whipped his head away. The corners of his mouth trembled.

‘He opened it knowing it was me? Does this guy Jeong Jae-gyeong really mean he’s never dated before? Everything he says sounds like a high-level flirt.’

Da-sol barely held back his laughter and returned to an expressionless face. He then ducked under Jae-gyeong’s arm and committed trespassing.

“Did you come to eat dinner? Are you already hungry?”

Jae-gyeong asked with a bright expression. He seemed to have no problem with Da-sol using this place like a restaurant.

However, Da-sol hadn’t come to eat. He sat cross-legged on the floor, leaning his back against the sofa.

“Sit down, Jeong Mr. Jae-gyeong.”

“Yes….”

Jae-gyeong, wondering if he had done something wrong, shuffled to sit across from Da-sol and naturally knelt on his knees.

“Don’t kneel. Sit comfortably.”

“Ah, yes….”

Jae-gyeong followed suit and sat cross-legged like Da-sol. As he did, his gaze briefly brushed past Da-sol’s crotch, and for a split second, his pupils wavered wildly.

Da-sol knew what Jae-gyeong had seen, but he decided to just pretend not to notice. It was too much of a hassle. And the purpose of coming here now wasn’t to talk about dick stuff.

“I’m thinking of getting double eyelid surgery.”

Da-sol said bluntly. Jae-gyeong, who had momentarily had his gaze stolen by the center of Da-sol’s pants, was startled.

“You already have double eyelids, and they are so clear, perfect, and doll-like, so why?”

“….”

‘Since I already have double eyelids, is that a bit much?’

“No, not double eyelids, I’m going to get nose surgery. I want my nose to be even higher.”

Da-sol changed his subject. However, Jae-gyeong still looked puzzled.

“Your nose is already incredibly high. Looking at it now, your nose tip is really pretty, Mr. Da-sol….”

“…Really?”

“Yes….”

Jae-gyeong smiled as if he were melting. Staring at Da-sol’s face up close for a long time seemed to make him feel happy on its own.

Da-sol was unfazed by this phenomenon. Ever since he was young, people had felt very satisfied after looking at Da-sol’s face. So, Jae-gyeong’s face turning into mush wasn’t anything particularly unusual.

‘Anyway, if my nose tip is to Jeong Jae-gyeong’s liking, then nose surgery is out.’

“Ah, then I should make my lips bigger. What would you do if my lips became twice as big as they are now?”

“You want your lips to be bigger…? I like them the way they are now, but… if that’s what you want, you should do it….”

“No, what if I chew an insane amount of squid and develop my jaw muscles like crazy? Wouldn’t my face look more chiseled and cooler?”

“Oh… yes, I think that would also suit you well in its own way!”

“…What about shaving my head? My hair has been bothering me a bit lately.”

“Mr. Da-sol, you have a pretty head shape, so if you shaved it all off, you’d look like a fashion model…!”

“No, I’ll grow it out long. I want to grow it super long and use my hair to intimidate monsters like a rocker.”

“Huck, I think long hair is also a top-tier idea, Mr. Da-sol…!”

Da-sol felt his spirit deflate as he watched Jae-gyeong, who lit up and supported and cheered him on sincerely no matter what he said. He had expected him to look displeased if he declared he would change his appearance.

In the end, Da-sol brought up his true intention that he had been harboring inside.

“Jeong Mr. Jae-gyeong. What if… what if I changed my face entirely to look like someone else, for example… ah, what if I swapped it with that hunter who looks like a rotten potato I met at the gym back then?”

“Are you talking about Hunter Park Gam-ja…?”

“Was that person’s name really Gam-ja? I thought people just called him that because he looked like a potato.”

“That is very rude, Mr. Da-sol…. In any case, Hunter Park Gam-ja is… Hunter Park Gam-ja… so it’s a bit difficult to project that onto you…. And that person doesn’t even have a very good personality….”

“My personality isn’t good either.”

“What are you talking about! What is wrong with your personality, Mr. Da-sol!”

Jae-gyeong shouted louder than he had at any point since meeting Da-sol. When Da-sol raised an eyebrow, Jae-gyeong said, even knitting his brows.
