Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 233

"As much as I’d love to, you know the schedule is already set."

Edward’s manager calmly countered his outburst.

He understood his impatience, but it was too soon.

The earliest they could start was eight weeks before the fight, which meant he had to wait until February 2020.

For now, the only thing he could do was give interviews like before.

But if he did them too often, they’d lose their impact.

There had to be at least a three to four-month gap between them.

Given all that, right now, the only thing Edward could do was—

"Then what the hell am I supposed to do?!"

"...You just have to wait and train."

And vent his frustration alone.

"AAAHHHHHH!!"

Edward hated everything about this situation, but what he hated most was the sound of that damn piano in Evelyn’s MEET.

He could avoid the music video, but he couldn’t escape the song.

Every time he played it to hear her voice, that sickeningly sweet piano melody would torment his ears.

"Damn it! Damn it! Just wait till next year, Kim Donghu! NEXT YEAR!"

It became a wound Edward couldn’t heal.

"If it keeps going at this speed, they say we might hit 100 million views before the week is over!"

—Congratulations. I’ve been replaying the music video too. It’s incredible.

Evelyn bounced on her bed, talking excitedly with Kim Donghu.

"If I had one complaint, it’d be that it’s my music video, but you’re the one everyone’s talking about."

—Haha, that’s not true. It’s all about you.

"No! No! If you check the top comments, it’s all about the Piano Man!"

Click.

Click.

Evelyn scrolled through the live comments.

"They’re saying that since your face was ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) fully shown, it feels like a private moment between Tarzan and Jane."

—A private moment?

"Yeah, like... after they met, they started working together in modern times?"

—Ah, I think I get what you mean.

"Or maybe that Tarzan and Jane were their past lives, and this is their present life..."

Why was her face heating up just saying that?

Fanning herself, Evelyn quickly changed the subject.

"So, what’s next on your schedule?"

—I’ve got a film crew coming from Korea soon.

"What are you filming?"

—I’ll be driving a food truck around the U.S.

"You?! Really?!"

Evelyn’s voice shot up in pitch.

‘Wait... he can cook too? Like, well enough to run a food truck?’

Of course, just because someone ran a food truck didn’t mean they could cook well.

Some were terrible. Some didn’t even know how to cook.

But—

‘If it’s Donghu... he wouldn’t do it unless he was perfect at it, right?’

She wanted to go.

That was her first thought.

But—

‘Since the crew is coming from Korea... he’s probably doing it with the Korean members.’

Reality sank in quickly.

—Of course, I cook pretty well. I’m not lying.

"If... if I say I don’t believe you... will you cook for me?"

—Hmm, who knows?

"Tarzan, didn’t I tell you not to talk like that? It’s annoying!"

—Oh, Jane... is that so? I haven’t learned that yet.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Her heart raced like crazy when they had conversations like this.

Did he feel the same?

She hoped he did.

Trying to act calm, she continued.

"Then let’s fix that right now. Repeat after me."

—What?

"Evelyn, I’m inviting you to the show. Come try my food."

—I can’t say it unless it’s for Jane.

"...Fine, try again. Tarzan, say, Jane, I’ll cook just for you."

—Jane, I’ll cook just for you.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

She couldn’t hold back anymore.

Even pretending to be composed was impossible.

His sweet voice whispering in her ear—she couldn’t handle it.

In that moment, Evelyn understood exactly what love was.

"O-Oh... um... I-I just remembered something urgent! I have to go!"

—Huh? Haha, okay.

Click.

After that, she couldn’t remember what state she was in.

She only knew she had mumbled something incoherent and hurriedly hung up the phone.

That night—

The air felt warmer than usual.

And the world after the call felt emptier than before.

‘...So this is what they call love.’

Evelyn had just learned it from Kim Donghu.

***

Time flew by.

The pre-meeting day for Will It Work on the Mainland? had arrived.

"The reaction is insane! Isn’t this crazy?"

"Really?"
