Chapter 488 – Farewell Party
After returning from the trip, Seo Ju-hwan immediately explained the situation to Lee Seok-chan and asked for the demolition of the glamping facility. He was cursed at as a madman because at least he talked to a ghost in a dream.
However, as expected, Lee Seok-chan accepted his request even while cursing. It was a decision based on Seo Ju-hwan’s trust and Lee Seok-chan’s unique intuition (A/S).
Even if Seok-chan Lee made the decision, it would take time to demolish the glamping gazebo and dig up the remains.
In the meantime, Seo Joo-hwan scheduled a meeting with his university advisor. And after a while he submitted a letter of resignation. He was at the point where there were only a few days left until the start of the semester.
Lee Seok-chan and Jang Deok-hoon and their party knew in advance about Seo Ju-hwan’s decision to drop out. The same goes for other girls who are not from the same university. So, Seo Joo-hwan thought he would pass quietly.
It was the opening day after such a long time.
– Joo-hwan oppa!
“Oh, sojeong-ah. What is it?”
The owner of the sudden phone call was Yoo So-jeong, one of the three women he calls the Jeong Trio.
Yoo So-jeong shouted.
– What’s up! You said your brother dropped out? Really?
“Ah, that. Really.”
– Why did you go to school all of a sudden? What’s up?
“What is the job? It’s just that I don’t feel the need to go to college anymore.”
– Ex. Where is that What are you going to do without graduating? Ah, this brother was a well-known writer.
Yu So-jeong said to herself, but she was convinced. Although she did not know the details of Seo Joo-hwan’s wealth of her, most of the geonhak and me knew that she was a famous writer. Seo Joo-hwan was a celebrity at an alternative university beyond his department.
– I’m still sorry! How come you don’t say a word to us? Hayeon unnie and Jikyung told me about it, so I knew it!
“Haha… Sorry. I didn’t even pay attention to writing.”
-Tooth. Still, we have our own cake.
“Hey, hey! What if someone hears it?”
– Hi-Hi. It’s okay. Right now, there are only fixes and undecided.
“Let’s be careful though. Yes?”
As he said that, the voice he heard changed. They were Lim Soo-jung and Kim Mi-jeong.
– Because this oppa is famous now, it’s because he’s scared. You want to wash the past.
– That’s right, the movie is also scheduled to be released this time. The teaser was well chosen.
“These. What have I done wrong? It was an agreement, but what are you washing?”
When I said that, three people responded.
– Ahahaha. Anyway, don’t worry. We are not the kind of people who lightly tease our mouths anywhere.
– Brother, I won’t do anything to trouble you.
-But he might get into trouble if he doesn’t come to the farewell party?
“Ok? A farewell party?”
When I asked back my question, the three women shouted in turn.
– Wow! Aren’t you going to have a farewell party?
– I’m just saying that I dropped out, right?!
– He’s dead. I don’t know if this oppa Me Too is scary.
“Me, Me Too?”
My heart goes cold for a moment.
– Crazy bitch! It’s not even a joke!
– Yay! Did you go crazy trying to cut ties with your brother? Beat Kim Mi-jung!
– Mi, I’m sorry! Wow! I’m sorry!
– Shut up! First of all, tie it up for two years and turn it around!
A swearing and loud noise was heard, and Kim Mi-jung sniffed and apologized.
– Brother, I was wrong. It’s a joke. Really. I liked it too, but I couldn’t do something like that…….
– Joo-hwan oppa, switch to video call. While Mi-jeong is on her knees.
When I followed her words her and switched to her video call her, Kim Mi-jung was holding her hand with her hair on her knees with her hair scattered.
Seo Joo-hwan giggled and wiggled his fingers.
“I forgive my sins. Hands down If you say that one more time, there will be no soup.”
– Thank you, please….
Kim Mi-jeong begged for her hand with a eunuch-like expression.
Anyway, it’s a fun trio.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and asked.
“Anyway, are we going to have a farewell party?”
– Yep!
“I am fine. When are you going to do it?”
At that, the Jung trio looked at each other and grinned.
– Today!
*
It was a sudden proposal, but I made an appointment for tonight because I wasn’t particularly busy.
After finishing the call, Seo Joo-hwan thought for a while and then contacted other acquaintances. He thought dropping out was not a big deal, so he did n’t tell the news, but after hearing what the trio said, he thought that he was too indifferent to his acquaintances.
“It’s been a while since I said hello.”
It is the time when summer is slowly coming to an end. It was a pretty good date to say hello.
– Oh, what! Contact me first, what’s up?
“How are you?”
– Hee hee. I can’t get along, so I fly around. I think I’ll stick with the number 1 ranking next time?
Deokja Jang replied in a cheerful voice. Returning to the fighting world, she was on the way to a splendid career with 3 wins and 3 KOs.
“Are you stuck with 1st place already?”
-Haha. This is what it means to be crushed.
“Hey, Deokja Jang uses lion idioms.”
– What is it, why is it interesting? I’m getting fed up all of a sudden.
“Haha. Sorry.”
“Anyway, why did you suddenly call me? Do you want to do it with me Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I haven’t done it lately, right?”
“Yai, I think you only contacted me when I wanted to do something.”
– No?
“That would be about you! You only contact me when you’re down.”
– Oh, I heard you.
“Did you hide it?”
She chatted a few words like that, and then she announced the news of her dropout her. She wondered if she had to let her know her, but her purpose her in the first place was to say hello to her, and the news of her dropout her was a bonus.
– Aha. So what do you do after dropping out of college? Are you coming here too?
“Why am I going there?”
– Because you think you’ll do well?
Jang Deok-ja knew about Seo Ju-hwan’s skills. She even tried to stick with her, because she once saw Seo Joo-hwan sparring with Baek Kang-ho.
Of course, apart from her skills, Seo Joo-hwan had no reason to go into the martial arts world.
“I am a writer. Not going to the fighting side. Well, I don’t know if it’s a one-time event.”
– You’re talking nonsense. There are very few events like this. It gets complicated when you get injured after calling a normal person or a celebrity.
“You never know life.”
– Be patient. I don’t know what I don’t know Anyway, so that’s the end of the matter?
“Yes, bitch.”
-Then hang up. I have to exercise again now.
“A heartless year. OK. Work hard. Contact me when a match is scheduled. I will go cheer you on.”
– Okay. Oh, can I call you sometimes when I want to? Oh, I don’t know. I’ll do whatever I want. Bye!
Deokja Jang just said what he wanted to say and hung up.
Seo Joo-hwan was dumbfounded and laughed.
“Oh, you beastly bitch.”
A light smile formed on Seo Joo-hwan’s lips as he said that. Frustrated by her mediocre talent her, she was deeply moved that she was already thinking about a match with first place. Of course, this was only possible because the world of female martial arts was so narrow, and it remains to be seen whether she will be able to play an active role in the world in the future… Anyway, I’m glad you looked happy.
Afterwards, Seo Joo-hwan continued to contact her for several hours. He intended to simply convey the news, but he had more acquaintances than he thought.
Lee Jung-hoon, the successor to the military and an older brother to rely on.
Yoon Seo-ra is the owner of Swan, the number one clothing store in Anyang.
The married couple Lee Hye-ri and Baek Kang-ho are close to full term.
Yoo Min-seo, the homeroom teacher in middle school.
Joo Kyung-eun passed the voice actor recruitment.
Yang Hye-ji, who was once a bully, but now gets a job at Nobel Dice.
Park Do-hee dropped out of college after being betrayed by those she believed to be her friends her.
Seo-yoon Woo, a fellow writer who is currently living with Park Do-hee and her older sister her.
Kim Hyun-young, a respected writer who is Woo Seo-yoon’s teacher and Seo Ju-hwan’s teacher.
Kang Pil-choon is a person I admire as much as Kim Hyun-young and draws his webtoon.
Kang Na-ru is the granddaughter of Kang Pil-chun and the girlfriend of her cousin Seo Jeong-ho.
“Oh, why are there so many?”
It was so difficult to talk on the phone, so I sent my regards via KakaoTalk and text message from the middle.
Seo Joo-hwan last contacted Seong-geun Bae, Chae-hee Lee, and Seon-ha Min. Of course, he said hello to the actors and staff who filmed 〈 Stalker 〉 together.
“It’s only a matter of contacting us, but it’s very difficult…….”
Still, Seo Joo-hwan smiled proudly. He thought that the guy who lived in a single room, writing alone, had grown up a lot. Compared to the loneliness I felt then, this level of suffering was nothing.
[Master, the time has come.]
“Okay. Now I have to prepare and leave.”
*
The venue for the farewell party is a pub called ‘Secret’ located near the back gate of the university.
Secret is a little less tasty than the Crow Pocha that Seo Joo-hwan and his party often go to. However, it was spacious and comfortable, and it was located in the basement, so it was good to drink and talk loudly.
Seo Joo-hwan tried to enter the building, but he suddenly found a familiar face and turned. I saw a man smoking on the corner of an alley.
“Bae Joon-ho?”
“Who? Ah, Joo Hwan!”
Bae Jun-ho, who was smoking, called his name with a friendly face. He was a theater and film student whom he became friends with at a leadership camp one day, and a man who would become a famous director in the future.
[Perhaps he is also the man the owner made into a couple?]
‘Yes. He still seems to be dating the star well. I’ll probably even get married.’
Bae Jun-ho and Yoo Byeol were famous as a couple of directors and actors even before returning. Both have brilliant talents, so they achieved 10 million directors and 10 million actors at an early age.
“Long time no see. What is it?”
“What is it! I came because you were having a farewell party!”
“Okay? I called you earlier, but what about a farewell party?”
He had also contacted Bae Jun-ho and Yoo-byeol while conveying the news of his regards. But he only talked about dropping out and didn’t say anything about the farewell party. I don’t know how he came to know about it.
Bae Jun-ho said with a grin.
“I asked just in case because Chulkon and the kids were flocking to it. They said they were having a farewell party, so I asked Seok-chan and the kids to join me. Oh, and there are stars inside the building.”
“Okay? It looks like you two are getting along well.”
“Of course.”
“When do you serve noodles?”
“Uh? Oh, that’s a bit later… Haha. I haven’t even graduated yet, but getting married is already difficult.”
“Do you have any plans to do it?”
“That’s it, of course.”
Bae Jun-ho smiled shyly, but nodded his head without hesitation. He said as soon as he brushed off the cigarette ash.
“Come to think of it, I couldn’t say hello when I saw your face. Thank you for introducing Director Min, Joo Hwan. I should have bought a meal right away.”
“It’s okay, man. I was busy. What? Doesn’t Sunha-noona go a lot more than that? That older sister has a bit of a tight personality on set.”
In an instant, Bae Jun-ho’s face turned pale.
“Don’t talk. I’ve been smoking a lot lately.”
“Kuk-kuk. It looks like a lot of trouble.”
Bae Jun-ho nodded and then smiled shyly.
“Haha. It’s fun though. Being able to learn from someone like director Min before graduation makes every day like a dream. It’s all thanks to you.”
“I was just introducing myself. If you had no talent, I wouldn’t have accepted you.”
“That talent was also found by you. If you succeed, I will definitely pay you back! No, even if you don’t succeed, somehow!”
Bae Jun-ho said several times as if he had promised.
Seo Joo-hwan patted him on the back in a strange feeling and moved on.
“Stop it and let’s go. The bastard keeps doing that, so it’s disgusting.”
“Uh ha ha. Then go in and say thank you to Byul. Stars are also very grateful to you. Are you in the mood to bow?”
Previously, Seo Joo-hwan introduced Bae Joon-ho to director Min Seon-ha and Yu-byeol to Bae Seong-geun. Bae Seong-geun, who has a special eye for actors, recognized Yoo-byeol’s talent and even paid a penalty to the existing agency to get him out through React.
However, it was a bit surprising that Yubyeol was so grateful. Even though React is a famous entertainment company as an actor, it is because Yubyeol, who just signed a contract, would not have benefited from anything.
Bae Jun-ho added an explanation.
“Since Joo-hwan said he knew you, it seems that actress Lee Chae-hee paid some attention. Byul is a big fan of actress Lee Chae-hee. I always said that I was a role model.”
“Ah, Chaehee noona.”
“Yes. They said they decided to be older sisters and younger sisters, so I was happy.”
“Good. She must learn a lot from Chae-hee because her acting is good. Oh, but keep an eye on it so you don’t learn anything else.”
“Something else? What?”
“What, alcohol or something…….”
… Is it a way to seduce a man?
Seo Joo-hwan swallowed the words behind his back. In fact, rather than Lee Chae-hee bewitched him, he was bewitched by Lee Chae-hee, so it was not a subject for advice.
“Anyway, let’s go in.”
When I went down to the basement and opened the door, I saw a bunch of familiar faces.
“Oh! Joo-hwan hyung is here!”
“Hey, hey! You’re the main character! Firecracker! Firecracker!”
“Brother, welcome!”
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Colorful paper flew over her head. It was noisy from the start, as if the charter had been paid.
Seo Joo-hwan removed the colored paper from his hair and looked around. He and especially his close friends, as well as the second year of the Department of Publication and Content, were all gathered. He seemed to be a freshman, and there were several teaching assistants and professors with whom he was close.
‘Oh, is Yui there too?’
I saw Do Yui sitting with Jung Hayeon and Yoo Jikyung. Her eyes met and she grinned and waved her hand.
“Hey, Jjuhwan!”
Then a familiar voice rang loudly.
Lee Seok-chan, who jumped up and shouted, poured soju and beer into two 500cc beer glasses like bombs. Then he came up to Seo Ju-hwan and passed a glass over.
“Joo-hwan, everyone gathered because of you, so I have to say something!”
“What? No, I’m here now, what can I say…….”
“Okay, everyone clap!”
Lee Seok-chan induced a favorable response. Since attention was focused immediately, applause poured in in an instant.
– Waaaaa!
– One word! One word! One word!
– Cry! Cry! Cry!
Seo Joo-hwan laughed while holding a beer mug. Now I see that he came a little late. Everyone was blushing as if they had already drank quite a bit.
Let him be still in his absurdity his.
Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue and said.
“Everyone! It seems that Jjuhwan is nervous about this guy! So I’ll open the door first! Now, now, applause!”
– Whiiyiik!
– Rotten Ham Msita!
“Men, shut up!”
– Brother, you’re great!
“Okay, good! Please respond more!”
-Haha!
– Kyahahahahaha!
Lee Seok-chan, who was familiar with the atmosphere, raised his beer glass. And he began to inhale at once.
Gulp gulp gulp!
Cheers rang out as if they had been waiting for the performance of drinking without holding their breath. Ha ha soon! Lee Seok-chan, who stole the foam, brushed the glass over his head.
“Ruler! Seok-Chan Lee of the class of 16 with Chulkon, let me say something!”
– Waaaaa!
In such an appropriate atmosphere, Lee Seok-chan shouted out loud.
“Hey, you bad Sheekies!”
– …… ?
The cheers stopped suddenly at the sudden criticism.
Lee Seok-chan shouted again with a flushed face.
“I also dropped out, but is Joo-hwan the only protagonist? I’m sorry, really!”
Suddenly, gasping sounds could be heard from everywhere. Come to think of it, Seo Joo-hwan was not the only one who dropped out. It was Lee Seok-chan who took a back seat because he announced the news of his dropout relatively earlier than Seo Ju-hwan.
At that time, the professor and assistant cleared their throats and said,
“Hmmmm. Chan-ah Seok, I haven’t forgotten this advisor. Didn’t we talk about it earlier?”
“Chief Lee, me too. I am watching Nobel Dice, which is developing day by day.”
After that, Jo Gyeong-jun, a 3rd grader who was scheduled to have a field practice with Nobel Dice, came forward with a bouquet of flowers.
“This bouquet belongs to our CEO Lee. Can you see the representative’s name written on the card here? Actually, I came to see the CEO, not Joo-hwan.”
Lee Seok-chan nodded his head with a solemn face.
“Our Joe intern, during vacation, did an editing part-time job, right? I get a lot of compliments for doing a good job. Please come to our company after graduation.”
“Yep! I will show my allegiance!”
Jo Gyeong-jun exaggeratedly bowed and went back to his seat.
After a while, Lee Seok-chan raised one of his fingers and pointed at the surroundings.
“You don’t even have soup.”
The faces of the students, who had completely forgotten about Lee Seok-chan’s dropout, were stained with despair. Nobel Dice is definitely at the top of the list of companies that students in the Department of Publication and Content can aim for after graduation. Also, Seo Joo-hwan was known as the CEO of Nobel Dice, but Lee Seok-chan was the real person running the company.
Only then did the students who grasped the situation stood up and chanted Lee Seok-chan’s name his.
-Lee Seok-chan! Lee Seok-chan! Lee Seok-chan!
– Long live CEO Lee!
– Brother, you know I respect you?!
– Seokchan oppa, I love you!
Lee Seok-chan giggled at him and raised his middle finger. In fact, he was the one who had been hiding in plain sight, so he had nothing to be sad about. It was just a joke.
A fuss passes by.
Lee Seok-chan patted Seo Joo-hwan on the back.
“Juhwan, you should say something too.”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and nodded his head. And he swept the people sitting around him one by one while holding a glass of wine.
‘It’s really over.’
It had been several days since he submitted his resignation letter, but he was strangely unimpressed. However, when he saw the people gathered under the name of a farewell party, he could finally feel that his college life was over.
He only attended college for three semesters. He didn’t even finish his sophomore year. Still, there were so many memories that came to mind.
Admissions, MT, festivals, even the tasks that were like a mountain.
Even though I was in college, I had more time to go out, but anyway, I made a lot of friendships starting from my college life.
Seo Joo-hwan, who raised the corner of his mouth, emptied his alcohol at once, just as Lee Seok-chan had done earlier. And he shouted, holding his empty glass high and shaking it over his head.
“It was fun thanks!”
1 year and 9 months after regression.
His short but long college life His is over.
