"3...2....1....... Jjan."
"Uwat! What the! The bag is hea—, ugh!"
A boy tries to lift a bag, but it won't budge.
The reason isn't because the "Hypnosis App" actually made the bag heavy... obviously not.
"Hey, hey, don't bullshit me."
"Is it for real? Kik-kik."
"I-it's real. I'm telling you, this bag got super heavy!"
Except for the person pretending to be hypnotized, five others were giggling and playing around.
Mobile app, Hypnosis App~ Simple hypnosis anyone can use~.
It started trending suddenly yesterday.
It began with Lee Seong-hyeon, a lackey of Han Jong-woo—the leader of the most powerful faction in this classroom—and it suddenly spread like a trend. At some point, the whole class started playing by casting hypnosis and pretending to be hypnotized.
"Hey, Siwoo-ya, look at this."
"Hm?"
I turned my head at the sound of someone calling me.
Who is it?
As I turned, I saw a smartphone. On the screen, purple and pink colors were swirling together, looking like they were sucking you into the center.
My desk-mate, Im Na-yeon, was smiling playfully and showing me her smartphone.
......It was the Hypnosis App.
"Now, take a deep breath. Relax."
I'm screwed.
I thought, rolling my eyes.
I looked at Im Na-yeon, who was smiling playfully and whose eyes were shining from behind the smartphone.
Im Na-yeon.
A girl with a tall stature of about 165cm and long, pitch-black hair reaching her waist. She is incredibly popular with boys due to her slender figure and large breasts. If it stopped there, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
The problem is her status.
She is the only daughter of the Im Family, which ranks first in the business sector in South Korea. She is cheerful and kind, but... the kids following her were the problem. The kind of guys who wouldn't think twice about badmouthing me just to get on her good side.
As Im Na-yeon spoke to me, I could feel everyone's gaze shifting this way, even if they pretended not to. I felt myself snap to attention. It wasn't like I could refuse, and it was hard to brush it off.
If I messed up, I'd be labeled as a boring guy, and in the worst-case scenario, I'd be bullied by the faction following Im Na-yeon, and my parents' jobs would be... I took a deep breath in my heart.
"You see the swirling pattern?"
"Yeah."
I started self-hypnotizing. I am hypnotized. I am hypnotized.
"Stare at it with focus, focus..."
".......Yeah."
I relaxed my eyes. Mouth slightly open. I stared at the swirling vortex pattern. As I kept looking at it, I felt like something was being sucked away. I felt like something was being placed over my face.
"Huh? What? Did he really get hypnotized?"
"Kik-kik. Must be because he's a kid who hasn't awakened his innate ability yet."
"Wow, he actually fell for something like that?"
Whether my acting with all my might worked or not, Im Na-yeon looked at me with a flustered expression. Plus, the gang of bullies around me were laughing at me. They are always the same.
At that sight, my expression almost broke.
I started the hypnosis again. I am hypnotized. I am hypnotized.
"Hmm-hmm. I didn't think you'd actually get hypnotized. Then, what command should I give?"
"Ask him who he likes!"
"Oh, that's goo... No. Something else, something else... I don't know."
Im Na-yeon's minion A said. Lee Ji-ah, I'll deal with you later.
As I ground my teeth inwardly, Im Na-yeon looked tempted by that suggestion, then suddenly shook her head back and forth, hesitated, and muttered something.
"Now, your arm is suddenly getting heavy. Your arm is getting heavy."
"Uwak!"
At Im Na-yeon's words, I screamed ungracefully and collapsed to the ground.
"W-what!"
"Wow, crazy. Did he really get hypnotized?"
"I've never seen someone actually get hypnotized before!"
"It's not getting heavy? A-are you okay, Siwoo-ya?!"
Whether my acting with all my might worked or not, Im Na-yeon came over to me and looked at me with a worried expression.
"U-uh. I-I'm okay. What was that just now?"
I asked Im Na-yeon with a bewildered expression. The kids around us laughed "Pu-ha-ha" and explained it to me.
"You were just hypnotized."
"Hypnosis?? There's no way I'd fall for something like that."
When the kid who was pretending to be hypnotized earlier said that to me, I said it while frowning. The kids around were making strange expressions.
Oh no.
Was the acting too much? Just as I was clicking my tongue inwardly.
Gulp.
I heard the sound of someone swallowing. Im Na-yeon was staring at me intently with eyes full of desire.
