Part 2 11. Angels and Demons (5)

“What are you doing, drinking?”

“I’m not asking that. Jun-hyung brought us in without saying a word, knowing clearly our situation. “What’s the point of sitting together like it’s natural?”

“Then send him back? Huh?”

“That’s not it… But…”

Things started taking a strange turn from earlier. It’s like Lee Yul is defending me. It’s not that I don’t understand Chaekyung’s feelings, but I think it’s mean.

“Let’s have a drink first. Let’s talk about it when we both relax a bit.”

“Yes, Chaekyung. It’s a bit awkward to say this, but… I think it’s nice to get together like this after a long time.”

When Ga-hye said that, Chae-kyung didn’t say anything more. Maybe she doesn’t truly hate being with me. She was embarrassed that she suddenly met me after breaking up with her like that, so she expressed it in a way that made her angry. If he really hated me so much that he didn’t even want to see me, he wouldn’t have contacted me in the first place. However, I am a little offended that he is now treating me poorly when he treated me the same way.

We drank in silence again. Eat food, have a drink. When someone’s glass is empty, Lee Yul fills it, and as chopsticks pass over the food, the number of empty dishes gradually increases.

“What are you doing these days?”

“Me? “It’s public interest… I work at the school.”

“Our school?”

“Where are you talking about our school? “Universities have no public interest.”

Gahye was the first to open her mouth in an uncomfortable atmosphere. Since we hadn’t even been in contact, we were probably both curious about what our close friend was up to.

“I know that arrangement too. High school? “Middle school?”

“High school.”

“Ah~ Teacher Kim is still here?”

“Aunt? Ugh…”

When I bring up my aunt, I feel a little sad. I guess there’s nothing I can do because I’m being stabbed. Lee Yul also subtly joins our conversation.

“Is your aunt a high school teacher?”

“Uh.”

But I don’t want to talk to Lee Yul for a long time. It looks like the colic is broken anyway, so there is no need to please him.

“The neighborhood is small, so everyone knows him and he’s a relative.”

“It’s been a very long time since I saw you, teacher. It feels like it’s been just a few years.”

“I guess not. We met last year. While eating.”

Gahye agrees and claps her hands. She seemed a little excited, perhaps because she had had too much to drink.

“That’s right, that’s right! Bingsut restaurant! “It was a shaved ice restaurant, not rice!”

“Ah, that’s right. I remember. “The three of us went to eat.”

“Huh. “Me, you, and Chae-kyung.”

Chae-kyung looked in her direction with some anticipation, but she just quietly lifted her glass and took a drink. Is she going to keep sulking like that? Just like the meme from the drama that ruined her drinking mood, Chae-kyung considered herself a loner.

“I remember back then~ I think we played almost all the time.”

“Is it different now?”

“Because I’m in my third year now. We also manage our grades and prepare for employment, etc.”

It was my first time having this conversation with Gahye. At 22 years old, we are not exactly kids. Men are delayed in entering society because of military service, but women are already in their third year and will be graduating next year. I became a little depressed by the sudden sense of reality.

“Ah~ I’m so full…”

“Me too.”

The pig’s feet were ruined, and the tteokbokki was also destroyed. There are only a few pieces of bossam left, and there are quite a few pieces of malatang (maratang) left. Me and Ga-hye, who used to talk like before, Lee Yul, who used to laugh to himself as if it was fun while watching TV, and Chaekyung, who used to just eat and drink without saying a word, no longer take spoons for food.

“Should I put the food away? “Let’s have a drink.”

“Um… Leave only the malatang.”

Gahye pulls out of her mala tang mansang. Lee Yul and I got up and took the food on the table to the kitchen. It’s a bit tiring to clean it up right away, so I just put it neatly on the counter.

“… I’ll clean it up too.”

For the first time, Chaekyung opened her mouth. We were afraid that if we messed up for no reason, he would run away like a frightened deer, so we did what seemed like nothing was wrong. After everything except the mala soup and dishes are put away, Chaekyung bends down to wipe her table with a dishtowel, leaving her cleavage on full display thanks to her loose short sleeves. For a moment, I was staring at it blankly, even though I knew I shouldn’t.

“… Wha!?”

I missed the moment to look away. Chaekyung found out that I was looking at her breasts. I was worried that she would get so angry that she would kick me out, but fortunately Chae-kyung was just embarrassed, and she didn’t get angry or anything. For some reason, that image reminded me of her previous time, when she was only embarrassed to do sexual things and I felt reassured.

“Tsk tsk… Junbungeyya…”

“… What.”

Lee Yul comes this way from the kitchen and looks at me pitifully. I don’t like it when people act like we’re friendly like this. In the current situation, it would be perfect if only the interest rate went back. Isn’t it? If the interest rate goes back, will there be no reason for me to quibble here? I don’t know. I ended up in a situation where I needed Lee Yul to be with Chae-kyung. It’s beyond lamentable. If we want to get along with Chae-kyung and her Ga-hye without that bastard, we need to restore our relationship.

Malatang and alcohol were placed on the table for accompaniment. I think I drank quite a bit of beer and soju, but I still have a few more bottles left. But there are more empty liquor bottles. Ga-hye and Lee Yul were people who drank a lot, but Chae-kyung and I, who are not good at drinking, also drank a lot. Now that I was so drunk, I knew that it would not be good to drink more, but I sat next to the table and drank some more with a side dish of malatang.

I feel dizzy. How much time has passed since I came to Chaekyung’s house? As of earlier, Chae-kyung and Ga-hye have stopped drinking alcohol. Lee Yul-man often drinks half a glass of soju while watching TV. How strong is this guy’s alcohol?

“… Say it slowly.”

“What.”

“Junhyung… Why did you bring him here…”

Chaekyung asks in a slightly awkward tone? Her eyes are glassy, ​​as if she is quite drunk, and her posture is reminiscent of that of a drunkard. Lee Yul answered without even looking at her.

“To make peace with you.”

“Don’t lie…”

“Then why do you think I brought you here?”

“…”

Chae-kyung reaches out her arm and picks up the chopsticks, but then puts them down again as if she doesn’t want to eat and says with a sneer.

“To play with it.”

“What?”

“You brought me here to play with Junhyung and I.”

At the same time, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips. It was even a little creepy. Lee Yul said as he looked at her, as if he sensed that her mood was unusual.

“Playing with it. Still, I brought them because I felt sorry that my childhood friends fought and broke up because of me.”

“What? Sorry? Ahahahaha! “You’re being damned!”

Since we didn’t expect to hear such a sound from her mouth, I, Ga-hye, and even Lee Yul looked at Chae-kyung with wide eyes.

“Reconcile? Are you sorry we broke up? You’re saying things that don’t even sound like words. If that’s going to happen, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place! “You did this because you wanted to steal me away from Junhyung… And because you wanted to fuck me in front of Junhyung, and now you’re talking nonsense that doesn’t even sound like anything!”

It was correct in every detail. Chae-kyung’s words in accepting Lee Yul’s hateful answer were very correct. Even Lee Yool, who was always easy-going, seems to have hit the nail on the head and looks bad.

“Why the fuck are you talking about me like a bad bastard? You liked me too so we fucked. And Lee Jun-hyung was also cheating on me with another woman, so why are you treating me like a bad guy?”

That’s because you’re a bad bastard. It’s true that I was wrong, and it’s true that Chaekyung cheated, but you approached us with pure malice. But I didn’t say the thought out loud. I already have a feeling that it will be muddy, so staying quiet is probably the only way to get halfway.

“So you’re not bad? “Aren’t you a bad guy?”

“When did I say I was a good guy? Why are you talking like you’re not? No, fuck. Did I tell you to cheat on me with Lee Junhyung? “Why do you talk about me like I’m the only one who’s done everything wrong?”

“… That’s right. I’m a bad year, and Jun Hyung is a bad baby. But at least we don’t do things like make up with someone or anything like that. Junhyung. Actually, I’m sorry, but I didn’t have the heart to contact you. But he keeps asking me to send things like that… So…”

“…”

I thought the interest rate had encouraged it. However, if Chae-kyung didn’t send it because she still had feelings for me, but because she couldn’t resist Lee Yul’s pressure and forced her to send it, then this is serious sexual violence. I felt like I was thinking about Chaekyung’s condition in a way that was only convenient for me.

“Damn, I really liked maps.”

“You…”

“Stop pretending to be clean, Jeong Chae-kyung. Do you think I don’t know what kind of guys you’ve been hanging out with without my knowledge? Uh? Lee Jun-hyung knows everything.”

“What do you know!”

[Tang]

Lee Yul finally revealed it by putting his chopsticks down hard on the small table.

“You brought Lim Gyu-hang here and fucked that bastard.”

“…”

Chae-kyung clenches her teeth. She senses venom in her eyes, but then it disappears, and her tears well up. She screamed, her fists clenched and her hands shaking.

“You don’t think it’s me!? “You did it with Junhyung’s mom too!”

“!!!”

“Uh? That…”

“I found out about it when I went to your house last time! How many times, how many times, Junhyung, your aunt came out of your house! Junhyung, I’m sorry… I didn’t want you to find out like this… But… But it’s so…”

Chaekyung cupped her face with both hands and lowered her head, then burst into tears. Lee Yul poured her drink into her mouth and swore as if she was even more embarrassed. Shit. A situation that cannot be expressed in any other words. Ga-hye raised her arms to comfort Chae-kyung, but when her eyes met hers, she gave up and lowered them again. As for me, she even had disturbing thoughts about how she could take advantage of Chae-kyung’s guilt over the revelation, thinking that I wouldn’t know about it.
