Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 100

"But it seems like being on the chaser team isn’t all that advantageous either."

At Gukjong-sunbae’s comment, I nodded in agreement.

"Right, especially since we’ve got penalties like not being able to use our legs for three minutes..."

Giri-sunbae also remembered the additional rules and gave a look of agreement.

Though the numbers were in favor of the mission team, with double the players, the penalties were heavier on us chasers.

It was clear that the rules were designed to balance what looked like a dream team.

"But Gukjong-hyung, aren’t we coming up with a plan?"

"Giri, what do we need a plan for? With Donghu, you, and me, we’re like the Three Kingdoms generals."

"The Three Kingdoms generals?"

"Yeah, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei."

Gukjong-sunbae shrugged at our confused looks, as if asking what else we’d do for 20 minutes.

"We’ll just get to know each other better. Donghu, do you do any other sports besides boxing?"

"Uh... Actually, I focus on mixed martial arts too."

"Oh, MMA! Giri, isn’t that your thing?"

"Come on, hyung, Donghu is on a whole other level."

The back-and-forth banter continued until suddenly, out of nowhere, Gukjong-sunbae asked:

"Donghu, you’re good at running too, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"How long does it take you to run 3km?"

"Ten minutes."

"Really? Then... are you good at soccer too?"

"Huh?"

"Since we’re here, if you’re good at soccer, that’d be great, wouldn’t it?"

Soccer? Where was this coming from?

‘Is he joking?’

I was about to laugh it off, but when I saw the look in Gukjong-sunbae’s eyes, I knew.

‘He’s serious.’

To Gukjong-sunbae, the mission team was already as good as caught.

No matter how many penalties were placed on the chasers, the outcome felt inevitable to him—like giving a bell to a cat and expecting it not to catch mice.

"Anyway, if you like soccer, we can—oh, looks like we’re out of time."

Checking the clock, Gukjong-sunbae reached for the center table.

"Before we go, let’s do a quick cheer. As for the strategy... we’ll figure it out on the go. We’ve got walkie-talkies anyway, right?"

"Yes!"

"One, two, three!"

"Let’s go!"

The mission time was about an hour and a half.

"Okay, let’s split up and act independently. Keep updating each other over the walkie-talkies, and only regroup if it’s necessary."

"Got it!"

With that, I hurried toward the elevator to check the floor numbers.

‘It’ll still take them some time to search, won’t it?’

‘I run 10 kilometers daily.’

"Honestly, it’d be weird if we lost, right? It’s 3 vs. 6."

"Exactly. Leave the 2nd floor to us and head up."

"Kangsu, don’t betray us this time, okay? This is an easy win."

"Jiseok-hyung! I’m not that kind of person!"

"Alright, alright. Let’s move! Go, go, go!"

The mission team dispersed smoothly.

On the 2nd floor, Sujin and Kangsu were diligently searching for a hidden tape.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

"...Do you hear bells?"

"Huh? Nah, it’s just your imagination. It’s only been... six minutes?"

Kangsu laughed, dismissing her concern.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

But as the sound grew closer, Kangsu’s confident smirk faltered.

"Wait, is this real? Who is it? What’s going on?!"

Grabbing his walkie-talkie, Kangsu reported urgently:

"Jiseok-hyung! I hear bells on the 2nd floor! Someone’s here! Did the elevators move?!"
