## Chapter 250 – Side Story 10 – A Brewery Fair Date With Chaeri (2)
***
The two of them left Chaeri’s favorite gukbap restaurant after enjoying a hearty brunch.
“Ugh… I’m so full.”
“There’s no place that gives you as much food for the price as this place.”
After paying at the restaurant, they decided to walk to the convention hall, which was about a 15-minute walk away, to help with digestion.
“Usually, places like that are popular with older men or heavy drinkers… Seeing you eat things like seonji-guk so well, it seems like you’re not picky.”
“When I was younger… I didn’t eat as well as others. Until I was in school, I ate ramen for years.”
Until she turned twenty, Chaeri had been neglected by her parents, so aside from the school lunches, she hadn’t had many proper meals.
After becoming a Hero at twenty and leaving that house, she’s been eating all the foods she couldn’t eat before to her heart’s content.
“And… more than anything, gukbap is delicious!”
Of course, the biggest reason she likes gukbap is that it suits her taste.
“Doesn’t Master like gukbap or anything like that?”
“I like anything with meat in it. But making gukbap for eleven people at the hideout seems like too much work.”
Making gukbap-style food with meat isn’t that complicated in itself, but making it for eleven people suddenly increases the difficulty.
And since the females at the hideout don’t seem to particularly like gukbap, Siyoon only buys it when he goes out alone or very occasionally.
“Then we can eat it again when we go on a date later!”
“That’s a good idea.”
As they chatted about gukbap, they soon arrived near the convention hall where the brewery fair was being held.
“I made a reservation online, so there shouldn’t be any problem getting in.”
Chaeri walked to the entrance in front of the convention hall and showed her smartphone screen. The guide smiled kindly and let them inside.
“Wow… there are way more booths than I thought?”
“It seems like there are more this year than last year.”
Thanks to her experience of having been to the brewery fair for several years, Chaeri comfortably walked around the booths, looking for drinks to sample.
“These days, a lot of young people are making traditional Korean liquor. They often add a modern feel or taste.”
The majority of the fair was occupied by beer and whiskey booths, but recently, many companies that make various traditional liquors have been participating.
The two walked around together, sampling beer at famous brand booths and trying whiskeys with long, hard-to-pronounce names.
“Hmm… I still don’t have that feeling of ‘this is it.’”
“Me neither. It’s not that anything tastes bad… but there’s nothing that makes me want to buy it.”
After walking around slowly for about an hour and sampling about six or seven different drinks, Siyoon and Chaeri hadn’t found anything they particularly liked.
“Oh… this place looks good?”
One booth stopped the two, who had been wandering around for a while looking for a good place.
They were showcasing makgeolli and distilled liquor made from mung beans and barley, and they were giving away snacks that go well with the liquor as a service for on-site purchases.
“Can we have a taste?”
“Of course! Here you go.”
The booth owner, with a fairly energetic face, handed them small paper cups filled with liquor. Siyoon and Chaeri carefully tasted the liquor.
“Mmm… oh! This is incredibly nutty.”
“It feels like cereal or oatmeal… I feel like I could easily drink two or three bottles sitting down.”
The bitter flavor of alcohol and the nutty taste of grains blended well, making it a smooth and easy-to-drink liquor despite its relatively high alcohol content.
“I feel like I have to buy this no matter what… don’t you think?”
“It’s a waste to only drink this ourselves.”
Siyoon, feeling like he would regret it later if he didn’t buy it, suggested buying it. Chaeri nodded her head vigorously, expressing her strong agreement.
“Would four bottles be enough? Or five?”
The booth owner’s face brightened considerably at the mention of buying five bottles.
“Since you two seem like a couple… I’ve added some extra snacks!”
“Ah! Thank you!”
They put the liquor and snacks in a shopping bag with a traditional pattern and gave a thumbs up to the two who were walking away hand in hand.
“We… seem like a couple to other people too!”
“Of course. We’re holding hands and sticking so close together.”
Chaeri, who was secretly happy to hear that they were a couple, was even more attached. Siyoon boldly walked around the booths with his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulder.
Chaeri, slightly embarrassed because there were so many people, blushed slightly, but smiled and clung to his chest, which was wrapped around her shoulder.
“How about that? They say they have mango and pineapple flavored beer.”
Seeing a booth sampling beer with a sweet and sour taste with refreshing fruit, Siyoon, intrigued, led Chaeri to the booth.
“Can I have a glass of this?”
“Of course! Feel free to try it.”
An older man who looked experienced handed them beer in clear plastic cups. Chaeri and Siyoon shared a sip each.
“The mango flavor is definitely the best, right?”
“The others feel too sweet or too sour… The mango flavor is definitely the most balanced with just the right amount of refreshing and sweet.”
After sampling mango, pineapple, dragon fruit, and banana flavored beers, they concluded that the mango flavor was the best.
“Since it’s beer, we’ll need a lot if we’re going to drink it together… Is it possible to buy it online?”
“We also have consignment sales at convenience store brands! If you use the app, you can get adult authentication and buy in bulk.”
“Then let’s just buy enough for the two of us… and order it from the hideout later.”
They bought the mango flavor, which was the best, and two limited edition flavors, and turned their steps to a place selling various snacks and street food.
“I’m sure I’m still full from eating… but the smell is amazing.”
Starting with hams and cheeses that would go well with wine or whiskey, they also sell greasy and spicy foods that would go well with beer or traditional liquor.
“I’m not full yet… let’s just buy one and share it.”
“Shall we?”
Looking for something that would be a good snack, they stopped in front of a booth selling tteokbokki with a spicy-sweet and chewy flavor.
“Seeing how red this is, it looks really spicy.”
They bought spicy tteokbokki, which was selling for 5,000 won a plate, and sat down at a small table and started sharing it with one skewer.
“Master! Ah…”
Chaeri snatched the skewer that Siyoon was holding to taste, stuck two pieces of tteok on it, and brought it back to Siyoon’s mouth to feed him.
“Huh? Y-yes. Ah…”
Siyoon, who paused for a moment, thinking it was a bit embarrassing, nodded and savored the taste of the tteokbokki that Chaeri fed him, with the sauce lightly smeared on his mouth.
“Hehe… You’ll get it on your clothes if you’re not careful?”
Chaeri gently wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue. Siyoon’s face, who didn’t know he had it on his mouth, flushed slightly.
“I can’t lose either. Here… ah…”
“Ah… Mmm…! It’s delicious!”
As if she couldn’t be the only one, Siyoon stuck a piece of tteok on the skewer and held it out. Chaeri took it without any hesitation.
“Chururp…♥”
She licked the red sauce that was slightly smeared on her lips with her tongue, and her lips, glistening with saliva, reflected the light and shimmered seductively.
‘As expected… older women are older women.’
Chaeri’s actions, with every gesture exuding a subtle sensuality.
Siyoon had felt that she had a mature charm since he first met her, but he felt it even more strongly than usual because they were on a date alone.
“Come on! There’s still a lot left, so you have to eat more. Ah…”
“Oh! Ah… Ah…”
Trying to gently suppress his heart, which was beating strangely fast, Siyoon ate all the spicy tteokbokki that Chaeri fed him.

The two spent over five hours walking around the brewery fair, trying all kinds of liquor, and looking at snacks that went well with it and things needed to make liquor.
“I ate snacks, but… this is the first time I’ve filled my stomach with alcohol.”
Perhaps because he drank a lot of liquor, he felt a little tipsy, and with his stomach full, he was walking towards the accommodation he would be staying in today.
“I guess… we can’t eat dinner… Ehe…”
Siyoon usually had a high alcohol tolerance, so he only felt slightly tipsy, but Chaeri was in a pleasantly giddy state with a moderate amount of alcohol.
Holding a shopping bag containing the liquor he bought today in one hand, he grabbed Chaeri, who was staggering slightly, with the other and entered the hotel.
‘Liking alcohol and being good at drinking it are different… Hmm…’
“Ehehe… It’s so fluffy…♥”
After checking in for her and going up to the room, he carefully laid Chaeri down on the soft and fluffy bed.
‘I guess… we should have sex after she sobers up a bit…?’
Siyoon, who had laid her down and took a breather, put the liquor he bought at the fair on one side of the table and took out a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator and gulped it down.
‘This place seems pretty expensive too… Everyone is much more generous than I thought…’
This room in the hotel that Chaeri had booked was also a very expensive suite room.
The rooms that the females had booked so far were all at exorbitant prices, and had luxurious interiors befitting the expensive room rates.
Perhaps because it was a place that marked the highlight of an exclusive date that didn’t come often, they all made up their minds and booked the most expensive and best place possible.
Siyoon was staying in luxurious and expensive rooms that he would hardly ever be able to go to, let alone go to once or twice, for over ten nights thanks to the females.
‘Should I take a shower… I think I’m sweating a bit.’
Perhaps because he was tipsy from the liquor he had drunk so far, his body was slightly hot, and the inside of his white shirt was soaked with sweat.
As he was about to take off his clothes and go into the bathroom to wash off the sweat…
“Master…♥ Hehehe…♥♥”
Chaeri, who had been lying on the bed, had come to Siyoon at some point and grabbed his shoulder, sticking to his body, which was only wearing underwear, in a sticky way.
And… wearing really sensual and lewd underwear.
