Hadn't he already compensated her? What was she doing making a fool of herself at the athletic field?
Did she seriously think they were going to be a clingy, affectionate couple now?
Just the thought of it made Jude's skin crawl, as if a slug had latched onto him. He felt an intense, visceral repulsion.
When faced with someone unattractive, a person's patience seemed to plummet drastically.
He marched briskly over to Mika, snatched the paper right out of her hands, and snapped,
"Didn't I tell you we're never going to happen? What are you doing here?!"
Mika's eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at the paper Jude had just accidentally torn with her marker, her voice perfectly even, laced with genuine confusion.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Mika had always been notoriously timid and soft-spoken. Even when subjected to vicious insults, she would only suffer in silence.
Hearing her sudden, defiant retort, Jude felt a spike of furious indignation.
He opened his mouth to berate her, but as his eyes landed on her upturned face, the vicious words died in his throat.
She had dropped twenty pounds overnight.
Her previously bloated face had slimmed down into a smooth, oval shape, leaving behind only an endearing hint of baby fat on her cheeks.
While her figure was still on the thicker side, her tall frame distributed the weight nicely, turning her into a curvy, attractive girl rather than someone sloppy. She actually looked quite cute.
Her skin tone had shifted from a warm paleness to a luminous, cool-toned ivory.
The cool undertone made her complexion appear flawless and radiant, adding a chic, untouchable elegance to her delicate features.
Coupled with her newly boosted Charm, the girl looking up at him right now was lightyears away from the word 'ugly'.
In fact, at first glance, she was remarkably poised and pretty.
Because the system's beauty upgrades automatically smoothed out cognitive dissonance, Jude didn't find it shocking that the Mika in front of him no longer matched the hideous girl in his memories.
He just inexplicably felt that the scathing remarks he had prepared were suddenly impossible to say.
