Chapter 287 – Episode 287. Ep.70 in the Downtown Area, at Night, Alone (5)
Joohee came out of the café.
The fact that the middle of her panties was wet was her secret.
I left the shopping mall building and went to the bar that Ga-eun had introduced.
Although Joo-hee was born to be a pathfinder, she felt like she could somehow find her way if she turned the map on her cell phone screen around according to the direction she was walking.
I guess these are all bars…
As I entered her from her busy street along the main street, I was greeted by her entertainment district-like atmosphere.
The atmosphere was different from the bar district near her home that she was familiar with.
At first glance, the age range of people walking around was much older, and there were more men than women.
She wasn’t without young people, but there were very few who looked like college students her age.
Ga-eun said she often went to the bar she introduced, and I thought she did it despite the street atmosphere.
But me too…
Not bad.
Since I only saw bars and karaoke bars on the streets at night and there were mostly old men, I was somewhat intimidated and scared, but it wasn’t that I wanted to run away or that I didn’t like it.
As the street atmosphere was like this, there were many people who would look after Joohee.
Even now, there were some men who glanced at her.
There weren’t many women walking alone in places like this, and the short, flowing white dress seemed to stand out.
Even though it was still hot at night, she felt the gazes on her and walked, shivering a little.
I guess it’s here…
Juhee, who looked at her cell phone frequently, finally found her destination.
It was a bar on the second floor.
A neon sign with ‘NEO’ written on it was visible above the window.
Baneo. This was the place Ga-eun introduced.
It took a long time as I got a little lost, but I was able to find it safely.
I went inside through the small entrance next to the building.
When I went up the stairs, I immediately saw the store door.
I took a deep breath and went inside.
The structure of the bar was simple.
There were a few table seats that could accommodate several people, and several tall chairs in front of the bar table.
And among them, there were three men sitting at only one table that could seat four people.
There were no other guests to be seen.
Person… Not much.
Joohee felt regretful. I was a little disappointed because it was Ga-eun, not someone else, who introduced me to this place.
No. What do you want to show to how many people? …
But she soon changed her mind.
With fewer people, we may be able to do more bold things without being noticed.
It was my first time coming to a bar like this alone, so I felt more at ease when there were fewer other customers.
Anyway, once I was inside the store, I couldn’t just leave, so I headed inside.
“Welcome.”
The bartender inside the bar table spotted Joohee and greeted her.
The bartender looked quite young.
At most, he’s about the same age as Joohee.
He was not tall and had a youthful look on his face.
The way he smiles while saying hello is cute and handsome.
There was a strange atmosphere as the handsome boy was dressed up in a bartender uniform.
Joohee nodded to the bartender and then walked quickly to sit in front of the bar table.
There were no other customers other than the three men, so I could have had the large table to myself, but since I came alone, I felt like I had to sit alone.
“Seonghyeon, give us some more ice.”
It was around the time when Joo-hee climbed onto the high chair and sat down. One of the men called the bartender in a friendly manner.
“Yes, just a moment!”
The bartender also answered sadly and returned alone carrying a bucket of ice.
Looking at them talking to each other, it seemed like those three men were regulars at this store.
It looks like the bartender called Seonghyeon didn’t work here for a day or two.
Since everyone seemed to be friendly with each other, Joohee felt even more awkward about coming to the bar alone.
“Would you like to order?”
Seonghyun, who handed the new ice bucket to the old man customers, came next to Joohee and asked before going back inside the bar table.
“Oh, I…”
Joo-hee was a little embarrassed.
If you think about it, there was no reason to panic. It was natural to ask customers what they would like to order.
However, he was just surprised to hear her suddenly talking to him in the car while he was nervous.
“Would you like a menu?”
“Yes…”
“Wait a minute.”
Bartender Seonghyeon was very, very kind.
Thanks to that, Juhee was able to calm down her excited mind a little.
Seonghyeon entered the bar table and immediately laid out the menu in front of Joohee.
“I guess this is your first time coming to our store?”
Seonghyun must have been able to tell that Joohee was feeling awkward, and spoke to her gently as if trying to help her relax.
“Yes…”
“How did you find out?”
“Ah… A friend recommended it to me…”
Joo-hee answered Seong-hyeon’s question while thinking of Ga-eun.
Then he smiled brightly, saying he was happy to come.
“Please feel free to let me know when you decide to order.”
Seonghyeon was always polite and kind.
I thought he would be really popular with women because of his boyish looks and attitude.
Joo-hee even wondered if the reason why Ga-eun recommended this place was not related to anything sexy, but purely because it was a good bar.
Of course, that’s unlikely.
Considering Ga-eun’s words and her sinister yet playful expression at the time, it couldn’t have been that way.
Anyway, Joohee looked at the menu.
Since she came to a place that sells alcohol, she had to order a drink.
I remembered going to a bar with Eunjeong and wanted to drink a cocktail that wasn’t too strong.
But there was a problem.
There were too many types of cocktails.
There was a brief explanation under each name, but even after reading it, I couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
When she went with Eun-jeong, Eun-jeong explained things to her and even helped her choose something, but now she doesn’t have that kind of help.
What should I do?
I guess I should order something.
Should I ask…
It was the car that Joohee had been thinking about so much.
“Can I help you order?”
Seonghyeon must have noticed that Joohee was wandering, so he came closer and asked.
Because he asked her first, she answered honestly that she would like a cocktail, but she wasn’t sure what she would like.
Then he asked her briefly whether she liked sweets or milk, and she recommended a cocktail that was easy for beginners.
And soon, a glass of cocktail with black liquor and milk divided into layers was placed in front of Joohee.
When I stirred it and drank it, it was sweet and delicious without much of an alcohol-like feeling.
It tasted like something I had tried before, because Eunjeong had chosen it for me.
It’s better than I thought…
Even though I actually entered the store and sat down, I still felt awkward about coming to drink alone, but drinking a sweet cocktail while listening to music coming from the speakers wasn’t as bad as I thought.
I also had the funny feeling that she had somehow become a cool girl.
I had heard that Eun-jeong, who was always cool, sometimes drank alone at a bar, so I felt like that for no reason.
Anyway, it wasn’t a bad feeling, and thanks to that, the tension that came from the awkwardness disappeared.
And a different kind of tension arose.
There was one clear reason why she visited this place.
It was a place recommended by none other than Ga-eun because it had a fun atmosphere.
So far, it just looks like an ordinary bar and doesn’t feel like anything special.
If I were to find something special, it would be that the bartender, Seonghyun, is very kind and cute.
But I guess it was recommended because there was something there.
Even if there was no such thing, Joohee had no intention of just sitting still and drinking cocktails.
I came here with expectations from the beginning.
It didn’t matter if it was just an ordinary bar with nothing special.
Even if the alcohol content was low, alcohol would be a good excuse for exposure disguised as defenselessness.
Let’s try it…
That’s what I came here for.
Joohee went to the bathroom first.
I really had to go to the bathroom because of the drink I drank at the café earlier.
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason I went to the bathroom.
Joohee sat on the high chair again and naturally sat on the chair with her panties on instead of the hem of her dress.
The chair had a low backrest, so the panties that were slightly exposed in the back were covered.
Other than that, it was similar to when I stayed at the café earlier.
The hem of the dress became shorter, making the sides of the thighs cooler.
The chair was so high that Juhee’s feet did not touch the floor, but thanks to that, her smooth legs were clearly exposed.
Unlike when she was at the café, the place where she was sitting now was not a blind spot.
Three men were sitting at a table not far away, drinking.
In her experience, her older men often stared at her more openly than younger men her age.
In anticipation of that, she pulled up the hem of her dress slightly, exposing her legs.
I guess you don’t know…
As I entered the store earlier, I felt people glancing at me, so I thought they might be glancing at me, but the men seemed busy talking among themselves.
Inside the bar table, Seonghyeon was wiping glasses with a white towel.
No one was looking after Juhee.
Then a little more…
Joohee took the hem of the dress with her hand and pulled it up a little more.
Naturally, my panties had no choice but to come out.
If Seonghyun inside the bar table turned his head and looked down, or if one of the men turned his head this way, the panties exposed under the shortened dress were bound to be visible.
She sat like that, very conscious of the gazes of the four men in her store, except herself.
But still no one was interested in her.
Why is no one watching… ?
She might have glanced at her once in a while, but no one turned their eyes to her.
Joo-hee, who looked a little irritated, pulled up the hem of her dress even more.
Even the lower abdomen below the navel was exposed.
The panties were clearly visible in the front.
It was a very dangerous appearance if seen by others.
If anyone sees you, just put your hand down.
It’s okay.
Even if I got caught, I was planning on insisting that I lifted the hem of my clothes to take a quick look because I felt like water had dripped on my thighs.
But still no one paid attention to her.
Joo-hee, who had an unreasonable desire to compete, deliberately twisted her waist this way and that, making the chair turn little by little from side to side.
One of the men seemed to have sensed her movement and tried to turn his head towards her.
At las…
She could feel the man’s eyes on her panties.
Why… ?
But she immediately turned her head forward again, as if she hadn’t seen anything.
