Chapter 114 – Mesgaki and Alcohol
After that, Eunje and I walked around and talked, and we broke up because we had different ways to go home.
He looked at me with a regretful expression, but since Nero was waiting for him at home, he quickly went on his way.
I ran at a slightly faster pace, mainly on the road where a lot of people wandered around. It would be nice to take the bus, but since it’s been a while since I’ve been out, I thought it would be nice to get a lot of sunlight, so I just walked.
“Mmm~ The weather is nice!”
As I ran a little faster, I started to get out of breath. Summer passed and autumn began to come, so the sweat that came up to cool off the hot body quickly cooled down with the wind and gradually became cooler.
Beautiful weather, neither hot nor cold. The pride of Korea with four seasons and appreciation of beautiful nature.
It was the perfect weather, different from Jajangmyeon in the upper country.
Before the sweat completely cooled down, I ran forward again and headed home.
[KakaoTalk!]
“Uh?”
Just when I thought I was almost home, her phone vibrated and caught my attention.
She pulled out a vibrating phone from her pocket and checked to see who had texted her.
[Song Ha-yoon: Hello, this is Song Ha-yoon, Meki.]
[Song Ha-yoon: I sent a KakaoTalk to ask if you could come to our show as a guest this time.]
[Song Ha-yoon: If you don’t mind, can you participate in the broadcast?]
Guest? Are you really going to invite me as a guest?
I was surprised by the sudden invitation to the broadcast. It’s strange that he invited me out of so many people, and is he calling me, who has no particular talent, on the air?
Broadcasters are, in the end, people who draw people’s attention and make a living by siphoning off their money. Of course, we also prepare interesting contents and provide vicarious satisfaction on behalf of viewers, but in the end, without viewers, there would be no us.
But inviting me, who has nothing to show people, to a broadcast?
[Shin Jae-joon: It’s me, it’s good if you give me that opportunity.]
[Song Ha-yoon: Really?]
[Song Ha-yoon: Phew… I’m glad. I don’t know if I should say this, but I invited another woman besides Mekki, but I had to find her because she couldn’t come.]
[Song Ha-yoon: Fortunately, Meki-nim accepted it, so I was relieved.]
[Song Ha-yoon: (Emoji of dumplings being happy)]
Are you trying to invite someone other than me? Saying that made me feel like my doubts were being cleared.
Song Ha-yoon must have been very nervous to save another person when one person was lacking.
I needed someone as a guest for the broadcast content, but if that person was left out, there would be a problem with the broadcast content.
Song Ha-yoon, who was struggling to invite others, thought of a streamer he had helped the other day and tried to contact me.
When I think like this, everything seems to be aligned.
[Jaejun Shin: What am I… I don’t have anything to prepare?]
[Song Ha-yoon: Meki-nim just needs to come!]
[Song Ha-yoon: Oh, and there will be someone besides me who will cook that day.]
[Jaejun Shin: Cooking?]
“Cooking?”
I was dizzy at the sudden appearance of the cook. I heard that there were other guests besides me.
I was surprised to hear that there were other guests besides me, but soon after hearing that he was a chef, I suddenly thought that I wanted to go something quickly.
[Song Ha-yoon: Yes, he is very good at cooking, so you will be satisfied. He says he worked at a Japanese restaurant for about 7 years.]
[Shin Jae-jun: Then, I will skip breakfast and lunch that day!]
[Jaejun Shin: (Emoji that the platypus promises)]
[Song Ha-yoon: I guarantee my skills, so look forward to it haha. Then I think you can come here this Saturday.]
I received an address from Song Ha-yoon. Looking at the address, it seemed like a studio or a house where I usually live.
Seeing that the next KakaoTalk message would not come, it seemed that she had told me everything she had to say to me.
Guest broadcast of my life. It’s also a broadcast directly invited by Song Ha-yoon, a conglomerate… If you think carefully, this broadcast might be an opportunity to make you more famous.
It was a so-called act of pulling straws. Since my broadcast is now a broadcast that is growing into a medium-sized company, it is full of potential to grow at once if you do well with just one straw.
I will definitely seize this great opportunity. Broadcasting needs to grow to make good money, and only when you earn good money will you be able to live a comfortable life in the future.
“Nero~ Dad is here!”
“Oooh!”
As soon as I returned home, my housemate, Nero, ran towards me! She jumped up
Unlike other cats, Nero, who has round ears and a cute appearance, rubbed her head against my leg and flattered her, and it seemed that she was overflowing with happiness.
“Right, I bought snacks and scratchers, so let’s try it.”
“Ohh?”
After installing the scratcher she bought earlier, she put snacks for Nero in her rice bowl. You’ll like it because you spent a little more money this time, right?
As expected, as expected, Nero hurried on and enjoyed her happiness while enjoying new things.
Eat as much as you want, scratch as much as you want. That is the cat’s life and happiness.
“I envy you.”
I was so fucking envious. No, it was to the point where I thought I wanted to live like that, so maybe I’m living a better life than mine.
She looked down at Nero and gently stroked her hair. She hurriedly ate the snack, which smeared it all over her face, but she quickly ate it up after clearing it with her long tongue.
She did her dunga dunga as she hugged the cute guy.
“Aww…”
“You’re cute~ You’re cute~”
Just like in the old movie The Lion King, she lifted Nero.
“Cute! Lovely!”
“Hey!”
“It’s high, don’t you like it? I’ll drop you off.”
“Ungnyang.”
She struggled to get down, probably because she didn’t like high places. I didn’t want to force myself to do something the cat didn’t like, so I slowly lowered it to the floor.
Babies like it when you do it like this, but cats seem to be different from babies.
With nothing to do as expected, I put on my flying squirrel pajamas and lay down on the floor.
It felt good because it was cold but not cold, and it seemed to moderately warm my body. Flying squirrel pajamas are probably the most comfortable clothes in the world.
“Nero, I’m bored.”
“Ungnangnang.”
“You want to play a game?”
“Ungnang?”
“Okay.”
I don’t know what Nero was saying, but she pretended to understand and walked over to her computer. Turning on by hand is troublesome, so with her toes…
Back.
The sensation on the tips of her toes felt more like pressing a wall than pressing a button.
“Ah, sir…”
Back.
This time, let alone the button, it was like hitting the body with your toe.
“Why can’t my legs go up much?”
Then, this time, I did my best to squeeze the muscles in my legs and lift them up. The legs combined with flexibility and strength go up higher than I thought.
Go straight ahead towards the button. It’s like stabbing, but it’s perfectly successful…
Chiririt!
At that moment, I felt goosebumps as I felt something running through my toes.
As the pain grows more and more paralyzed, the strength in the legs is weakened.
“Rat, rat… There’s a rat!!!”
The human body is originally designed to rebound when it is moved excessively.
When riding a bicycle, if you maintain the speed to the end despite lack of physical strength, you will overheat, and if you suddenly increase your flexibility, you will get cramps and make people suffer.
The hardest thing about getting cramps is not that it hurts, but that it’s different from normal legs, that it’s dull and numb, and that it’s annoying because it feels like shit.
“Mouse!!!”
“Aww!”
“Ah..! Ahhh!!! That’s my leg! Nero, don’t bite!”
“Ugh?”
I screamed for a rat, so Nero thought it was a real rat and bit me on the leg.
The sharp fangs couldn’t pierce my skin, but the numbness and pain coexisted from my legs, and I started to increase my pain.
Thud! Thud?!
I tried rolling the soles of my feet to release the rats, but it still made me feel numb.
“Ugh… Help me, oh…”
***
“Jiyeon-ah, Jiyun-ah!”
In a bar, a dark-haired woman in a suit was waving at the two of them.
The name ‘Park Jae-yeon’ was written on the employee ID card that was tucked into her chest.
“Jaeyeon~ But why did you invite me out for a drink today?”
“I know.”
The two friends who were her friends questioned Jae-yeon’s behavior when she suddenly contacted them for a drink.
A few days ago, I suddenly stopped renting the monthly car, and I was curious about why he contacted me to have a drink first today.
The women who sat down like that began to spend time gradually eating snacks and drinks.
As the alcohol went in, we had a good time reminiscing about our high school days or talking about what happened in the past like a saga.
“Hey, do you remember the bet we made in the old days?”
“What… Um, a movie?”
“Okay. That’s it.”
As she entered the 4th bottle of soju, she seemed to start getting drunk little by little. Her face blushed Jae-yeon. She said.
At first, she looked at the others as if she couldn’t believe it, but she had no choice but to believe it as she went into the detailed explanation of the truth, not lies.
“Shiba… Even a bastard like that dates men…”
“Kuhm.”
“How about it~ Guys, be careful when I go on a business trip later. Can I really call you guys from Busan?”
“Bitch.”
“Yeah~ Keep cursing~ Jiyeon will take you to Busan.”
The women, laughing as if they were having fun, just drank.
“Hey… No matter how much I think about it, this doesn’t make sense. Call me now.”
“Uh?”
“Call the person who went with him.”
“Okay! Somehow, he said it was too bold…”
Jae-yeon, taken aback by the sudden objection, pondered for a moment what to do.
