18. Beautiful and Spicy

After Graiss left, Regen sighed heavily. He quickly showed his frustration again. His mind, which felt so heavy and twisted, was still unable to get rid of it.
 
While the young man was too busy with his thoughts, someone passing in front of him suddenly fell. Seeing a figure fall in front of him, Regen immediately helped the person.
 
"Are you okay?" asked Regen worriedly. He helped the person get back to his feet.
 
"Ah, I guess I wasn't paying attention to the road. My head is a bit dizzy," he complained. The hot coffee he was carrying spilled and left a little stain on his clothes.
 
"You'd better be careful; you don't look well," Regen said, concerned.
 
"It's alright. Thank you for helping me." The man bowed his head.
 
Regen smiled. "You're welcome. Oh, if you don't mind, you should rest first. Sit here; I'll buy you some tea. It looks like you're not in the best condition; I'm afraid you'll collapse again like before," he offered sincerely.
 
"If it's no trouble to you, I'm grateful. I apologize for troubling you," the man said unpleasantly.
 
Regen waved his hand in front of his face as he said, "It's fine; please just wait here; I won't be long. Oh, you can also wear this for a while." Regen offered his sweater.
 
The person took the sweater given by Regen. "Thank you," he said.
 
Regen nodded and left the man to buy some hot tea.

"Your name is Halb? Can I call you a beautiful angel?" Regen joked although it sounded more like a cheap flirtation.
 
Halb chuckled. "Just call me Halb. I'd rather call you Regen myself, instead of calling you the Naughty Demon of Cheap Seducers of Young Girls Loving Sex Fantasies," Halb said cheerfully.
 
Regen's shoe almost landed smoothly on Halb's face, if only Regen didn't have the patience of the Pacific Ocean. Even so, Regen himself was quite mesmerized by Halb's performance. Although Halb looked a little disheveled, he still looked charming. straight, waist-length blonde hair and a tall, slender body. In addition, her lush eyelashes and blue eyes looked very beautiful.
 
"You have a very beautiful appearance. I bet you haven't bathed for a month; there are still many people who are mesmerized by your appearance," Regen praised sincerely.
 
Halb smiled slightly. "That's right. It seems that my appearance has an extraordinary allure. Some many men and women fall in love with my appearance."
 
"You have the appearance of an angel. I wouldn't be surprised if men and women fell in love with you simultaneously. You also have a very calming aura. To be honest, my uneasiness is somewhat relieved by your presence. Are you a human?" Regen teased.
 
"Ah, I didn't expect you to think like that. I was a little surprised to hear that." It was true that Halb was quite surprised upon hearing Regen's teasing.
 
"It's a little strange that you didn't notice. But I admit that you are a bit different from most people I've met. Never mind... it seems like I'm rambling a bit; please just forget what I said earlier." Regen tried to change the subject. "Halb, maybe I didn't bother you a bit with my question. If you don't mind, you can answer it; if not, just ignore it because I'm not forcing you to answer it."
 
"I don't mind you. So just throw questions at me to your heart's content, just like when you throw cheap things for the trendies to eat." Halb flashed her characteristically pretty smile.
 
"Your speaking style is quite sharp. It feels like you can make bland food taste spicy just by swearing at it. Hmm... I'm missing dakbal (Korean spicy feet). I think we should eat dakbal together sometime." Regen missed the spicy feet that he had not eaten in a long time. "Back to the topic, Halb, I'm a little curious about where you're from; why do you look like an outsider in this country? Are you studying here or working? Please forgive my impolite question."
 
Halb sighed, then looked at Regen for a while. "Though your question is also appropriate, I asked you too. You look just like me, and you're here too," he replied. "Then, do you also not mind answering this similar question later?"
 
"Don't worry, I'll answer them," Regen replied quickly. "But I hope you'll answer my question first," he said, sounding a little demanding.
 
 
 
"I come from Switzerland. In my home country, I almost died when I was in a big accident. Until someone showed up and helped me. That person saved my life; he took very good care of me. Then I offered to follow that person. That person didn't mind, so he invited me to live with him as a family. Then the two of us went to explore many places until we finally decided to stay in this country for a while." Halb took a short breath before continuing his next words: "Here I work as a part-time model, and I think it's a fun job. Besides, people here seem to be quite crazy about looking pretty. I guess I'm lucky to have landed in the right place."
 
Regen nodded his head. "Even if you're only wearing a sack of cement, you'll still look good in the eyes of the people here. You landed in the right place. Your performance is making money."
 
Hal chuckled. "Sounds like a sarcastic compliment," Halb said. "I think your rather crude sense of humor suits me."
 
"It's good that you like it." Regen then glanced at Halb. "Do you still want to hear my answer?" he asked reassuringly.
 
"Yes. Please answer that question properly," Halb pleaded with the pitiable look of a fox.
 
"Alright. Hmm... I haven't been here very long; I only came here because of special interest. Here, I'm probably more unemployed," Regen replied casually. "Ah, I also have a little job to take care of a small child of my colleague," he added.
 
"That's very obvious from your haphazard style. Hm... are you going to be here for a long time?" Halb asked curiously.
 
"I don't know; I don't know myself," said Regen. "By the way, why do you look like a very tired person? Does being a part-time model take a lot of energy?"
 
"Work that seems trivial is just as draining. Especially when you're dealing with someone annoying and stubborn," Halb complained.
 
"You seem to be rather depressed with the environment at your workplace. I think you should take a break." Regen patted Halb's shoulder as if they were close friends. "I will give you my energy to make you feel more energized."
 
Halb smiled slightly. "You're such a cheerful person... I guess I'm a little amused by your silly behavior." Halb now looks a little better than before. "There will be a lot of people who like that personality of yours, even though you're an asshole. You are the type of playboy that many girls would love."
 
"Gosh, your words are spicy. I think I need to buy some heat medicine to clear my throat." Regen was a little shocked at hearing Halb's words.
