Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 101

Kim Donghu’s assigned VJ, Park Seongryeol, was currently on the brink of death.

“What kind of kid is this!?”

To be honest, Park Seongryeol prided himself on his stamina.

Climbing mountains every weekend was a given, and he occasionally joined running clubs to jog as well.

So, whenever he was tasked with filming variety shows like Rushman, he never worried about keeping up.

But—

“I’ve really met my match this time.”

Kim Donghu wasn’t just someone with “good” stamina; he was on a completely different level. To put it bluntly, he seemed like a different species altogether.

When Donghu descended 22 flights of stairs without a single break, Seongryeol had already felt that something was off. In fact, by the time they reached the 10th floor, and he couldn’t keep up anymore, Donghu casually grabbed the camera and carried it himself down to the 2nd floor.

Keeping up with him was exhausting. That was the reality of the person who filled Park Seongryeol’s camera lens: Kim Donghu.

“Up to that point, I thought he was just someone with great stamina.”

But then Donghu started walking on his hands.

“Oh, I see.”

It was only then that Seongryeol realized. Donghu didn’t just have good stamina—he had everything.

As soon as Donghu began chasing them, Kangsu and Kim Sujin bolted for the elevator.

Watching their retreating figures, Donghu immediately sprinted toward the stairs.

“Wait, can I even call that ‘sprinting’?”

Even while filming, Seongryeol felt like something was off.

How could someone running on their hands be just as fast as someone running on their legs? Why was Donghu so good at these things?

Lost in thought,

Click.

Donghu opened the door while still in a handstand.

Did he use his legs to turn the doorknob? While pondering this mystery—

Swoosh!

Donghu spun his body upright and stood.

“How much time is left until the three minutes are up?”

“Uh... about a minute and 30 seconds.”

“Well, then there’s no other choice.”

No other choice for what? Just as that thought crossed his mind—

Smack!

Donghu grabbed the stairwell railing.

To be precise, the inner railing of the staircase.

He gripped it,

Smack! Smack! Smack!

And started climbing it.

What kind of idea was it to climb using the stair railing?

Never mind the idea—this seemed outright dangerous. The inner railing had gaps leading all the way down to the basement.

“But he’s climbing it so safely?”

It was a ridiculous thought, but Donghu never let his body drift toward the gaps.

Climbing the stairs purely with his strength, it was absurd that his speed was nearly on par with the VJ following him.

“So, you’re telling me he’s climbing the stairs using just his arms, at almost the same speed as someone using their legs?”

Had he trained in parkour? Was he Tarzan? Who even was this kid, and how could he do such things?

Reaching the 5th floor in record time,

Because the SKS Broadcasting Station was an older building, the elevator was relatively slow.

“KYAAAAA!”

Thanks to that, Donghu caught the elevator.

“Oh no, how could you run off so fast? I’m hurt!”

“What the hell are you?! How did you even get here? Are you Tarzan or something?!”

While Kangsu voiced exactly what Park Seongryeol was thinking, Kim Sujin, quick to assess the situation, tried to dart past Donghu. freewebnoveℓ.com

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Just then, exactly as the three minutes expired, Donghu’s legs blocked Sujin’s path.

In this life-or-death moment, where it wouldn’t be strange for two name tags to be ripped off in quick succession—

“Sujin! Sacrifice yourself!”

Kangsu’s betrayal giraffe moment struck without warning.

The massive figure of over 190cm hid behind a girl barely over 160cm, creating a rare spectacle.

“Donghu! Spare me! I have so much to do! I have rabbit-like dependents to take care of!”

“You’re not even married.”

“Future ones!”

“...”

While Donghu stood stunned, Kangsu quickly pressed his advantage.

“Donghu! If you let us go, I’ll tell you where Seoksam-hyung and the 6th-floor tape are!”

“We can’t touch their tape anyway.”

“Even so, I’ll tell you where Seoksam-hyung is! Let’s make a deal! Him for me and Sujin!”

“Why would I let go of you and Sujin when you’re standing right in front of me?”

Logically cornered, Kangsu resorted to flailing.

“S-Sujin! Sujin is cute!”

“What?”

“You think Sujin is cute and pretty, right? Don’t you?!”

“Well... I did say that.”

He was clearly being overpowered—not by strength, but by Kangsu’s experience in variety shows.

“A cute and pretty Sujin being eliminated 10 minutes into the game—can you allow that?!”

“...Should I not?”

Completely sucked into Kangsu’s act, Donghu hesitated.

“Alright, Sujin! Show him yourself!”

“Huh? W-What do you mean?!”

“Show him how cute and pretty you are! Do some aegyo!”

“P-pyoong! Pyoong?!”

Pyoong pyoong.

In a panic, Sujin clasped her hands into a flower pose and gazed up at Donghu with wide, sparkling eyes.

It was textbook seduction. Donghu instinctively realized that he had to play along for the sake of entertainment.
