'Nice!'

It was amazing.

He'd received a whopping 300 points as a reward. That was more than you could get from clearing three achievements.

Achievements gave 95 points each—three would net 285.

Sweet as hell.

How many points should he spend?

301 points it is.

He'd save the remaining 10 for Oh Mi-yeon.

How much hair to implant?

How many strands to implant? Exactly 100? Or 300?

No. Don't go small. Go big.

Boldly.

He spent 170 points. Bought 1,700 hair follicles.

Implanted them. From 3,300 strands straight to 5,000.

He was in the bathroom. He peered into the full-length mirror. Checked his hair.

Just a short while ago, his scalp had looked so sparse because of the thin hair.

It had seemed so empty that people might say, "Is that baldness? It's way too thin."

It had changed. Transformed completely. On the level of a complete overhaul.

No longer sparse. Dense now. Thick and full. It wasn't quite at "Whoa, your hair is super lush!" territory yet, but he'd graduated from "Isn't it too thin?" comments.

"Heh heh."

He laughed out loud. Flashed a deeply satisfied smile.

"Very satisfactory."

Not just satisfactory. Extremely so. Indescribably satisfying. Heartwarming and fulfilling.

Time to stop upgrading hair now.

This was enough.

5,000 strands implanted—that was perfect.

Jin-seong raised both arms high.

He offered a prayer of thanks to the heavens.

Thank you, God.

Hail the unknown god.

Hail Thick-Haired Man!

Hail Era of Success!!

Life like Yoo Jin-seong!!!

Thank you. Truly grateful. I'll live diligently. Steadily. Kindly.

He bought three Height Growth Pills.

His height grew from 169.7 cm to 170.0 cm.

From the 160s to the 170s.

He took a deep breath.

"Hoo— the air at 170 feels different."

He grinned ear to ear.

He bought five Penis Lengthening Potions and five Penis Thickening Potions.

Consumed them.

Penis length and girth each increased by 0.42 cm.

He took off his underwear. Looked at his dick. Still pretty small. Nowhere near average yet.

Looking good. Way bigger than before.

Extremely satisfactory.

My dick will get even bigger from now on. It'll become a monster.

He could become Big Dick Guy. He could do it. Totally possible.

His hopeful erection tripled his happiness.

He closed the status window. Closed the shop too.

Checked the reward items.

Happiness Vending Machine? What's this?

What kind of item was it? Extremely curious. He appraised it.

Seemed like he'd scored a fun item.

Stack Happiness Score for modest items...? Feels like a small happiness random box.

Wonder what items it'd give.

Could it match the small happiness random box's goodies?

Hope for lots of good stuff.

He appraised the Warm Ring.

A small green sapphire was embedded in the ring's center.

Good item.

I'm not that stressed, so I don't really need it...

Better to gift it.

To whom?

Ha-yeon? A-young? Or Mi-yeon?

He pondered, then shook his head.

No.

Give it to our maknae.

He headed to the family home.

He'd helped with the move. The family had relocated to a clean three-room villa with a spacious living room and two bathrooms.

They gathered around the dining table. For the move celebration, he treated them to jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk.

Lately, I've been eating a ton ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of jjajangmyeon.

Not that he minded.

Jjajangmyeon is always right. Delicious.

He polished off a hearty bowl in no time.

Glanced over.

He set down his chopsticks and looked at Yoo Seol.

She was face-deep in her bowl, inhaling the jjajangmyeon like mad.

Yoo Seol's condition was downright awful.

The kid was half out of her mind.

A time bomb ready to blow any second.

Needed to soothe her. If left alone, things could go really south.

"Seol-ah, wanna go out after eating?"

"Huh? Yeah! Yes! Let's go out!"

Her face lit up at the outing suggestion.

"Outing? Where to?"

"Just to get some air."

"Really? Should Mom come too?"

At Mom's question, Yoo Seol's face darkened instantly.

The point of going out with her brother was karaoke.

Mom tagging along would ruin that.

Jin-seong caught on and replied.

"Nah. You must be tired—rest up. It'll take a while to stroll and buy what Seol needs."

Yoo Seol's face brightened.

Best. Best. My brother is the best.

She secretly flashed double thumbs-up behind Mom's back.

Yoo Seol, thrilled at the mere thought of karaoke, looked like she'd conquered the world.

Her half-crazed mental state snapped back to normal in an instant.

"......"

Jin-seong's eyes grew complicated.

They finished eating. Cleaned up thoroughly. Headed out with Yoo Seol.

They walked the sidewalk.

Hop. Hop.

Yoo Seol hopped like a bunny. She seemed in great spirits.

"Oppa, karaoke?"

"Sure. Snacks too."

"Best! Best! Oppa's the best!"

Hop. Hop.

Her bright, pure laugh evoked a cute white bunny.

"You can have snacks?"

"Of course. My stomach has separate compartments for meals and snacks."

"OK. Just say the word. I'll buy whatever you want."

"You're not an alien, are you? Doesn't feel like my brother."

"It is me."

Hop. Hop. Hop. Hop.

"Carrots too?"

"Carrots? Yeah! Love carrots."

Her perked-up ears were adorable.

They arrived at karaoke. Got a room. He loaded up on her favorite drinks and snacks.

Nom nom.

"Tasty?"

Nod.

"Eat lots."

Nom nom.

"Here. Allowance."

He handed her 100,000 won.

"If studying gets tough, don't bottle it up—come sing. Got it?"

"Yeah! Thanks!"

Jin-seong scratched his cheek with his index finger.

"If you hate studying, don't. If you don't wanna be a doctor, don't. It's your life, not Mom and Dad's."

If Mom heard, he'd get a "You lunatic!" and 365 smacks on the back of his head.

"Huh? But everyone expects me to be a doctor? Doctors make bank and get respect, right?"

"Do what you want. Even if others can't, you should live doing what you love."

Yoo Seol had talent.

And he had Era of Success.

He was fully willing to help.

With talent and Era of Success.

With will and passion.

Nothing was impossible.

No such thing as can't.

Anything doable. Anything achievable. Anyone possible. Everything feasible.

"...Thanks. Your words alone give me strength."

"...I'll study hard!"

She sang her heart out.

He bought her clothes at the department store.

Fruits, chocolate, carrots too.

Thanks and gratitude to the heavens.

Gave allowance to family.

300,000 won to Mom.

100,000 to Dad.

100,000 to siblings.

Bought tasty stuff too.

Samgyeopsal for dinner.

Jjajangmyeon for lunch.

Bought clothes for our Seol too.

Not huge filial piety, but felt better than the money spent.

He boarded the intercity bus.

Hit the gym on arrival... then make YouTube video...

The bus departed.

He picked up his phone.

First check today.

Moving, family time, soothing Seol—his mind had been elsewhere.

Gasp! He realized his mistake.

Oh no, forgot about Mi-yeon.

Forgot to tell Oh Mi-yeon he was staying at the family home and buy her coffee.

Plus Choi A-young x3, Hong Jae-gu x2, Park Ha-yeon x1.

Checked KakaoTalk.

Replied.

Reply in 10 seconds.

What a coincidence?!

Turned out she lived next door.
