Chapter 10 – #05_Back Alley (2)
One.
I parked the car and went out to the downtown area in front of me.
It was lunch time just in time, so the two planned to have a simple meal.
It would be best to take her home when considering the eyes of the people around her, but it is impossible right now.
Acting recklessly may cause alertness, and it is also noticeable that he cleans up the body in the bathtub and removes it.
After thinking for a moment and not saying anything, Eugene spoke first.
“Sir, but what are we doing now?”
“I need to eat.”
“There’s a restaurant I know well nearby, would you like to go?”
“Okay. Please guide me.”
Eugene carried her bag as if she was excited and jumped ahead.
Today, Eugene’s outfit was overfit leggings that were much larger than her own size.
Purple leggings go well with a cotton-colored Gucci hoodie.
It was a large dress that covered her hips, so her sleeves were folded in about two tiers.
Compared to the night, it was quiet compared to the roadside, so Lee Yu-jin, who had a good fit, quickly drew attention.
In particular, the men around her can’t take their eyes off of her and follow Yu-jin with her eyes, then look at Yu-chan’s face.
The downtown area close to Yu-chan’s house was what Ilsan residents call a food alley.
There are various entertainment facilities, bars, and restaurants packed in long buildings built side by side on the left and right, and there is a road crossing the middle.
At first, Eugene snooped around bars and izakayas, but all the bars in this neighborhood were open from 5:00 until dawn, so they were all closed.
“Ha… It’s closed here too.”
She sighs heavily and whines as if the world is about to collapse.
“Is the student having a nap? I’m just walking around the bar. All of these areas open in the evening.”
“How are you? This is the free time allowed by the teacher, so it’s legal. Then, would you just go to a restaurant and have a drink?”
It’s too old man for a girl who’s just turned 20 to talk.
“But you, a kid who has just been able to drink, know all the local bars.”
“Ah~ Sensei, have you smoked cigarettes since becoming an adult? I just got a drink from time to time with the unnies I know.”
Eugene cleared his throat lightly.
She was in a good mood because she didn’t mean to be scolded.
“Do you drink often these days?”
“I’m just sipping at a convenience store after studying.”
“How much do you drink?”
“Just two bottles of chamisul blue?”
“You drink well.”
Despite its small stature, it is of considerable volume.
Yu-jin seemed to be bothered by her flowing sleeves, so she reached out her hand to Yu-chan and she folded it with her own.
“Sam doesn’t drink much, do you?”
“No? I drink often why?”
“Mr. Yuchan takes great care of his body. It’s famous among the girls at the academy. Is it a body that turns eyes when you take it off? Anyway, there is an image that people who take care of their bodies don’t drink well.”
While she was talking, as if her curiosity was aroused, Eugene glanced at her chest of cashmere coat.
Excluding the cost of food, it is a cheap product with less than 10% fiber mixing rate because it is a Yuchan with a subtly thrifty temperament.
“Do you want to touch it?”
“Yes!”
As she smiled and stretched out her forearm, Yujin clung to her coldly.
She’s not flimsy, but she’s trying to keep her body fat percentage at 10%, so you can feel the tight muscles through her clothes.
“Wow! Wow! It’s just bumpy!”
“Okay okay, that’s it. I hate it when other people see it.”
“Ahh. I’ll touch you a little more.”
I grabbed Yujin’s hair and headed for a restaurant I don’t usually go to.
There is a favorite ramen restaurant around here, but it is a place I go to regularly, so I must be memorizing her face her.
She took the hobo bag that Eugene had slung over one of her shoulders and went into a fitting Japanese restaurant.
2.
“Two salmon bowls, fried shrimp, and sake please.”
It was a pretty atmospheric restaurant on the third floor.
Even during lunchtime, there are few people, so it seems that the quiet business is not very good.
I’m satisfied because it’s better not to draw attention.
Egg rolls and lukewarm sake were served first.
“Jjam!”
“Is it that good?”
“Yes. First of all, you don’t have to study, so it’s a piece of cake.”
Eugene, who has been flirting since earlier and expressing joy with her whole body her, splendidly took one shot of sake.
She is compared to Naye, who carefully turned her head to drink with her hands her.
Maybe I learned the wrong way while drinking with the students first.
Since I didn’t bother to find her to chat with Eugene, I started a proper conversation.
Lee Yu-jin originally skipped classes, was late, slept on her stomach, talked to her friends on the roof, and wentofing around in the counseling room, but she never skipped school without notice.
“Why didn’t you come to school yesterday?”
“Just.”
In order to more accurately check her psychological state her, she deliberately defocused her eyes to look at her black box her.
As usual, it is a mixture of indigo and purple.
However, the color of the purple side is cloudy and deep.
He turned around as if nothing had happened, but seeing the saturation increase in an instant, I thought it was not something to be easily overlooked.
“Is it something you can’t even talk to me about?”
“Nothing really happened.”
As if the appearance of her flirting while chatting briskly until now was a distant past, Eugene tightly pressed her lips together.
While she was thinking about how to induce a conversation in a strange atmosphere, salmon rice bowl and fried shrimp came out.
Eugene took pictures of the food with a worried face.
It’s a little funny because he’s doing it with a very serious expression.
“Eugene.”
“Yes.”
“What does Eugene think of you?”
“Listen well and give good advice. It’s like an adult who can speak.”
Eugene answered, biting her salmon with chopsticks, and poured a drink into her empty glass her.
“Would you like to hear what I have thought of Yujin up until now?”
Yujin, who was looking down on her, looked at Yuchan as if surprised.
Did she accept that it was the beginning of a banal confession?
“You are a bright and lively child, but you are very careful. At first glance, it’s easy to think of him as a friendly kid with a friendly personality because he has a very strong persona to show to others.”
“So what?”
“Even though you seem to be friendly with everyone, you always draw a line around you, don’t you? This person is not my person, I don’t want to show my all to this person, and I tend to carefully push away those who approach beyond a certain boundary while doing this.”
Each time her words were repeated, Lee Yoo-jin’s mouth slowly opened.
I’ve been watching her for two months, so this was just a revealing part of her representation.
No matter how much it is, I’m avoiding talking about it because I think it will give the impression of being creepy.
“Wow…Awesome! You are also a psychological counselor.”
“She can’t concentrate on anything and always has a lot of interests around her. She hates being forced to do something she does n’t want to do, but even so, she’s the type of person who can’t run away, abandoning the work that’s been put into her hands her.”
Yuchan moistened his lips with sake and continued.
“I don’t want to lose the expectations, trust, and promises of those around me.”
“Yes that’s right! Even when I was in my second year of high school, I really didn’t want to play with a talent showman, but I was forced to take on the role. Wow, that’s really amazing.”
“This is how I know about Eugene, right?”
“Sure.”
She seemed very happy that she was taking such good care of herself.
She always keeps a quiet distance from the people around her, but she hopes that she will be recognized for who she really is.
It sounds antinomic at first glance, but that’s what the human mind is originally like.
Therefore, she comes out of her academy to find her, and she meets her alone, buys her food, and tells her a sincere story.
She was able to significantly lower her psychological barrier just by instilling in Lee Yoo-jin the illusion that ‘only I am special to this person’.
“I thought there must be something wrong with Yujin being absent without a word. Either at home or in everyday life. That’s why she came.”
Her excited face her hardened.
The purple petals of the impatiens are dyed even deeper.
Just reminding them of the problem makes their current psychological state worse.
“Do you hate school?”
“Yes, it is very frustrating. I honestly want to quit.”
“Then stop.”
“Yes?”
When she made a suggestion that might sound rather cold, Eugene raised her voice.
She hoped that he would catch him and convince him, but she did not incite him.
“What do grown-ups say? You have to do better than that guy to succeed. You can live a happier life by passing the person running in front of you. Of course, there will be people who are well suited to those words. It is natural for students to run like racehorses with their eyes closed when someone gives them a destination. But Eugene is not that kind of kid.”
“Still…”
For Yoo-chan, Lee Yu-jin is the main dish that needs to be put under her best mood and timing her.
She will inevitably attract her attention to her if she gets closer to her than a certain amount, no matter how loosely student management and her student-directed learning are recommended by the Heavenly World Jaesu Academy.
In fact, even now, Eugene, who often visits her counseling room, is a celebrity in the academy in a different sense.
Putting her outside her her academy her and massaging her her is also convenient for her future work her.
“It’s okay to quit school. Don’t give up on your studies. It’s okay even if it’s not necessarily the CSAT. Find something you want to do and focus on it. What do you think?”
She clearly sees Eugene shaking after hesitating for a long time.
In her balsam flower her, the flower that symbolizes her dreams her, future expectations, and sense of achievement trembled exceptionally.
Yujin Lee is young.
Even in the vague agitation that does not suggest an exact countermeasure, she draws more than a rainbow light.
Unexpectedly, however, she quietly shook her head.
“Actually, I don’t want to study for the CSAT either.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I’m a makeup artist.”
“But why? It’s not too late to prepare now.”
“But my mother… “
She talked about her own affairs in her in every detail of her life.
It took more than 10 minutes because I had trouble organizing my thoughts, but to sum it up, it was two lines.
Her mother her, Eugene’s only guardian, has little interest in her.
Even so, she wants her to go to a good college to save her her face her.
It was Lee Yu-jin’s words to her, so I was n’t sure if I could trust her.
“If you say you’re quitting the academy… You’re going to go crazy right away. I had a fight yesterday too, with my mom.”
I had heard about Lee Yu-jin’s mother from the director.
The president of a high-end jewelry shop known to those with a bit of interest.
It is said that they are calling their own shops in Apgujeong, Cheongdam-dong, Samseong-dong, etc.
Regarding her daughter’s academic problems, she is cool enough to be negligent, and there was also a comment that Lee Yoo-jin ran away from the academy in the middle of being late, and there was no need to contact her.
“I understand that my mother is busy, but it’s just annoying to go to me, so I’m trying to put her in the academy. Isn’t that too much?”
“I see. I will be very upset.”
Even if it’s good to go along behind the scenes, it’s best to avoid mentioning family.
The best thing would be to get her to drop out of the academy and meet her outside her, but it wasn’t something to be done in a hurry either.
Due to the nature of Eugene, who resists if you give an impression of being forced, it would be better to step back.
“They say you can spend as much pocket money as you want. To be honest, it’s not because I love myself, it’s more like I’m trying to take care of this and that with money. I spent 8 million won on clothes and cosmetics last month, right? I did, but nothing was said. He’s just not interested in me. I don’t really want to deal with it emotionally, but it makes me very sensitive when my daughter goes to any university. I hate it.”
I was listening to the story quietly, but a story that could not be overlooked came out.
I thought of buying and spending a lot of things, but 8 million won.
Yoo-chan was started for the first time because he couldn’t keep up with the scale of a rich girl.
Of course, I didn’t show it.
“Eugene.”
“Yes?”
“There are no parents who hate their children. Even if your mother is not good at expressing herself, she will love you with all her heart her.”
“Wouldn’t you say that if you saw it yourself? I’m just your mother’s trophy, right?”
“How can someone you don’t love spend 8 million won a month on their hard-earned money?”
“That’s just a price to ease the hassle from the mother’s point of view. How unusual it is to open a new store in Beijing these days. I went on a business trip today and will be back next week. I was surprised until then, but I was caught by the teacher.”
I finished the remaining meal while facing Eugene, who was making a bitter expression.
