Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 120

It was an undeniable fact that Kim Donghu was handsome.

In Korea, "handsome = Kim Donghu" had practically become a universal truth.

However, this truth had yet to transcend borders. Since Kim Donghu had no prior experience working abroad, he was a nobody outside Korea.

In other words, Japan was about to experience his looks for the first time, completely unprepared.

"I’ve never seen anyone that handsome before."

"An actor? Maybe the guy next to him is his manager?"

"Is he a fighter? His physique looks incredible."

"He could be a model, you know."

Glances and murmurs began to ripple through the ramen shop.

Like salmon swimming upstream, everyone diverted their attention from their ramen to Kim Donghu.

But for Kim Donghu, this level of attention didn’t faze him.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say he didn’t even notice it.

He was so used to being the center of attention that he no longer found it uncomfortable.

Sure, Seokho-hyung helped block some of the stares by positioning himself strategically, but the weight of the attention was undeniable.

Yet still—

Slurp.

Kim Donghu, unbothered, polished off his fifth bowl of ramen on the spot.

"This place is great!"

"That’s the fun of traveling. Stumbling into hidden gems like this!"

"So true."

As they finished their meal and prepared to leave—

"E-Excuse me, would it be okay to take a photo?"

A sudden voice in Japanese stopped Kim Donghu in his tracks.

"Huh? A photo? With me?"

Thanks to his special ability, flawless Japanese rolled off his tongue, so natural it could fool a native.

The person who had approached him was visibly startled.

"W-Wait, are you Japanese?"

"No, I’m not. But didn’t you think I was when you approached me?"

"Ah, n-no, that’s not it. I just... was caught off guard. I thought you were Korean."

"You’re right, I am Korean. Anyway, would you like me to take the photo for you?"

"Yes, the trailer is already out in Korea. It’s for a movie called The Traitor: Roots of Corruption. It’ll be released in early November, so please check it out!"

"Thank you. Well, in that case, I absolutely must take a photo with you!"

What followed was a cascade of photo requests, all of which Kim Donghu handled gracefully.

Before long—

【 Found out the name of the super hot guy wwww It’s Kim Donghu!!! I’m a fan starting today! 】

(Photo of Kim Donghu smiling with fans)

【 Found the trailer for The Traitor: Roots of Corruption. Is this it? (Link) Looks incredible, especially the swordsmanship! 】

【 He’s so polite wwww I nearly fainted when he smiled while taking the photo 】

【 I’m officially a fan now. And he can eat so much ramen—huge plus! He ate five bowls! 】

【 Being next to him makes me feel so plain (sob). In Korea, they call this “squid syndrome,” right? I think I’m a squid wwww 】

As expected, the photos with Kim Donghu began flooding Twitter.

Handsome and polite? There was no way he wouldn’t be popular.

Of course, there were a few who disliked him purely out of jealousy.
