Chapter 62 – What About Alcohol? (1)
I feel strange.
It’s all the more so because I can’t exactly define what I’m feeling right now.
So, as soon as I arrived at the pub, I rolled beer and cold soju and drank it in succession, only to realize belatedly that I was overlooking one fact.
“… Hey!”
The fact that my body right now is not the body of Son Si-woo, who was called a drunkard because he drank so well in the past.
Looking back on my memory, the only time this body had ever drank was when I was 20 years old, out of curiosity, I bought beer and soju at a convenience store and drank it alone in my room.
I even drank one cup and threw it all away because it didn’t taste good.
“Be I am mug….”
Tongue twisted.
I feel like my whole body is drenched in drunkenness from the alcohol I drank in succession.
My mind seems to be fine, but my body seems to be getting out of control.
“Hey, why are you drinking so much all of a sudden?”
Something slips into his gaping mouth along with the bruising words.
When I close my mouth and chew, I can feel the taste and texture of the salty batter and soft chicken.
Did you put a piece of chicken in your mouth to eat and drink as a snack?
It’s obvious that it’s for the sake of looking good and taking advantage of it, but it’s not bad to take care of it anyway.
“Thank you….”
What is this shit talk.
I was just trying to say thank you plainly, but my twisted tongue is arbitrarily sticking it in.
“Hey.”
“Ok… ?”
When I lift my head, I see Shin Yoo-jung’s expression.
Judging by the subtly furrowed brow, it seems that there is something I don’t like.
“I told you to give up earlier, are you drinking because you’re in a bad mood, right now?”
“Not really….”
It’s giving up, it’s nabal, and there’s no such feeling in the first place, so what are you talking about?
… However, it may have been reflected that way in the eyes of others.
Right now, this body is not related to Son Seo-yeon in any way.
“Or what, is it because of him?”
“Who is he… , Naeun?”
Where Shin Yoo-jung pointed with her chin, Im Na-eun was drinking her drink surrounded by her seniors.
As soon as she arrived at Hope, she was called to this table and that table, and then she must have gone there.
If you drink enough of what you give, you’ll get drunk… , Are you okay?
“Why is Naeun… ?”
When I asked with a tone of curiosity, the guy slightly turned her head and blurted out her words.
“No, you seem to like him a bit too….”
“Hmm….”
Was he just sitting next to me and watching where I was looking?
Lately, I feel a lot of jealousy.
It’s a good thing for me.
The fact that my jealousy is growing is also proof that our positions are being reversed.
“I met you today, but there is nothing to like or dislike. He’s just a bright kid, that’s all.”
“Huh… , Okay?”
The guy with a strange smile on his lips must have been very satisfied with my answer.
That was one of the reasons this body was afraid of Shin Yoo-jung.
Emotions are clearly expressed on the face.
In a way, people can be judged to be very honest, but there is nothing more terrifying than that if you show a lot of dislikes.
“Guys, can I sit here for a minute?”
I was looking at the laughing guy when I heard a soft voice.
When she turned her head, a woman was standing there with her long hair tucked behind her ears, looking this way.
A woman wearing a beige skirt that reveals the line of her pelvis and a white tee that reveals the same curvature.
A pretty face with an innocent smile.
Familiar.
One of the female seniors who cheered when I introduced myself.
“Why are you here….”
As Shin Yoo-jung hardens her complexion, she begins to be wary of her female seniors.
“Why, I came to have a drink with our newly enrolled junior.”
While doing so, he naturally sits across from me with his buttocks attached.
“Ah….”
Shin Yoo-jung makes a devastated expression.
That’s what being a person is.
It’s much more comfortable and easier to kick them out before they sit down than when they sit down.
“Junior, do you know my name?”
A female senior asks me, placing her arms on her table and slightly leaning her upper body forward.
Subtly revealing breastbone.
Is it a man’s inevitable instinct that he can’t help but look at him even though his intentions are obvious? .
“No, well….”
When I blurt out her words with a shy smile, the female senior smiles softly and opens her mouth.
“It’s Ye-jin, Jo Ye-jin. Shouldn’t we forget?”
“Yes, I will remember.”
Jo Ye-jin, who briefly gave me her name, naturally stretched out her hand toward her bottle, and soon after, she put on a slightly somber expression.
“Ah… , It must have been a long time since I took out alcohol. I’m not good at alcohol, so I can’t drink unless it’s cold….”
Then, he secretly looked at Shin Yoo-jung.
“I’m sorry, Yoojung, but can you bring me a bottle of alcohol over there?”
“… You can just call the clerk.”
“Ah, how many people do we have? I’m sorry if I keep calling you, huh?”
Aha.
I know what this is
Are you trying to get rid of Shin Yoo-jung, who seems to be in the way at first sight?
Hey, this is fun
“… I see.”
Oh no fun
I thought Shin Yoo-jung would shoot at her with her signature kangdagu, but maybe it’s because she’s a senior… , The kid can’t use his strength.
I grabbed the arm of Shin Yoo-jeong, who was raising her body with an irritated face.
“… Why?”
Then, expectant eyes pour in.
A naked wind pierced my face as if I wanted to defeat this situation.
I reached out my hand to Jo Ye-jin, who was making a puzzled expression.
“I’ll make the drink cold, would you mind giving me a minute?”
“Yes? Ah… , Okay.”
After handing over the half-remaining bottle of soju, he drew his magic power.
It’s pretty useless in combat, but there’s one spell that’s useful in situations like this.
「Chilling Hand.」
The real magic name is cold hands.
It is called chilling hand in foreign countries, but it is translated that way in Korean magic books.
As you can tell just by looking at the intuitive name, it is a magic that adds coldness to the hand.
A useful guy who did a great job cooling off the hot body of a lady in the past.
The cold air is transmitted directly to the soju bottle in your hand.
As I put a little more magic power into it, the lukewarm soju turned cold enough to be slightly iced.
That should be enough.
“I’ll pour you a drink, senior.”
“Uh, yes… !”
Jo Ye-jin, who had been staring at me in awe, hurriedly lifted her glass.
Squeeze
Putting her glass down, she took the bottle I was holding and poured soju into my empty glass.
Then speak in a soft tone.
“Shall we salt?”
“Yes.”
Before that, I poured soju into Shin Yoo-jeong’s empty glass.
To give off the nuance of secretly taking care of you.
“Please take good care of me in the future?”
“Yeah, I’d like to thank you too.”
He lightly clinks the glass and pours the drink into his mouth.
It feels like the alcohol that has subsided for a while is coming up again.
I can’t.
It would be nice to get some fresh air for a while.
“I’m going to get some fresh air.”
“Hey, are you starting now?”
“It will take a while.”
“Then I’ll be waiting for you, so should I come soon?”
“Yes Yes.”
That’s how I left Jo Ye-jin and Shin Yoo-jung alone and came out alone.
I sat down on a chair with an ashtray in front of me and took a deep breath.
“Whoa.”
I think I will live a little.
“I’m feeling a bit flustered….”
Today was a very emotionally eventful day.
I’m excited about the university entrance ceremony, and I’m nervous because of the villain’s attack….
In fact, it was Son Seo-yeon that made the most dramatic change.
“I never thought we’d meet here….”
A lot of questions left, but honestly, it was a bit nice.
No matter how much I promised to live a new life, can I forget all of my past life in an instant?
Hehe, suck.”
Still, there are things that I am proud of.
I don’t know where the lineage was, he was the strongest among the students present.
If that’s enough, I wonder if Seoyeon will lead the future of Korea.
“When did you grow up like that?”
My proud heart plummeted in an instant and I became depressed at once.
“I know….”
When did you grow up so much?
“As a father, I didn’t know….”
Did Joo-hee know?
“Whew.”
She lowered her head and let out a deep sigh.
Let’s forget
What would you do if you thought about it now?
“Yeah, it’s good to see you live well.”
Joohee and Seoyeon too.
I don’t want them to die
It’s late anyway.
Joo-hee was my beloved wife, and Seo-yeon was my daughter.
Let’s not be bitter.
I’ve seen them live well, so now I just have to live better than I do now.
Is that enough?
“Yeah, that’s enough.”
When I was holding on to my ever-changing mind, I could feel the presence of people around me.
Thinking that it might be a senior who came out to smoke, I raise her body and see a familiar face.
Son Seo-yeon, who I had been thinking about a while ago, is standing in front of me with an awkward expression.
“That… , Hi.”
What is this, a lethargic greeting that seems to have no sociability at all.
I was taken aback for a moment, but I responded naturally.
“I guess you came out to rest?”
“… Uh.”
I feel it even though we only had one conversation.
That this guy’s communication skills are close to zero.
Oh my daughter….
I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
I have no choice but to overcome this on my own.
“Then rest. I’m all rested.”
To tell you my honest feelings, I want to have a little more conversation with the guy I haven’t spoken to in a long time.
But I soon realized.
Since I chose to live with this body, the link between him and me has been severed.
If we are having a conversation, it feels like the daughter-in-law sleeping inside me will come out.
I feel like I’ll just point out, teach, and eventually take care of it.
I blindly passed him.
Hope this is the right way
