Chapter 156 – Chapter 156
The moment that was pleasant for Do-gyun and embarrassing for Eun-seol has passed.
After the story about Eun-ah’s uncle, which was the original purpose, was over, a normal outing continued.
After a simple lunch, stop by the department store in the middle to check what Eun-Ah has done, and after that.
[Eh eh-!]
“Heeheeeee!”
There was a horror movie.
Do-kyun clung to Eun-seol’s arm with his eyes tightly closed and his body trembled.
‘Why why… !’
Why another horror movie? No, this was also his mistake after all.
He should have noticed when Eun-seol said he was going to the movies! I should have kept in mind that now is the time for horror movies to be released!
Do-gyun is passing through that painful time, feeling devastated at his own painful mistake.
“Don’t stick around. Because it’s annoying.”
Eunseol whispered those words. It was only natural that Do-gyun’s eyes gave him a look of resentment.
‘You know I can’t watch horror movies!’
Are you trying to get revenge on the previous job at the cafe? Eun-seol’s calm face made me hate him for some reason.
For a long time, the movie ended after Do-gyun’s energy was drained by the sound he heard or the cool temperature of the movie theater.
“Stupid bastard.”
A recurring swearing sound. Do-gyun’s body flinched as he came out of the cinema.
“… You might hate ghosts.”
“Yes, think so.”
Pout. The corner of Eunseol’s mouth rose.
Do-gyun felt Eun-seol’s fists tighten as he watched Eun-seol look at him with an expression that anyone would think would laugh at him.
‘Oh, petty… !’
How petty is this. Even though he received the apology he deserved, he has a grudge against it and takes revenge.
My teeth trembled at the rising resentment.
In the middle of the day, Do-gyun was glaring at Eun-seol.
“Keep your eyes open and just follow me.”
Eunseol spat out those words.
Do-gyun sighed deeply and continued to ask questions.
“… Where are you going now?”
“Alcohol.”
Hearing just one word, the word that has now become Eun-seol’s identity, Do-kyun uttered an empty sigh and shook his head.
*
The downtown area at night was a place where you could feel the heat and vitality different from the usual.
A space filled with young people in groups of threes and fives filling the entire street, with loud music and colorful lights above them.
After graduating from college, Do-gyun felt glad that he had returned to the atmosphere he hadn’t seen in a long time.
With my daughter-
The bell rang, and an ‘oh’ sound came out of Do-gyun’s mouth as he gazed at the interior of the bar.
A display case full of alcohol and a quiet atmosphere. As if the customers hadn’t arrived yet, only the elderly bartender kept his seat in the bar.
The bartender seemed to be acquainted with Eun-seol, and after a brief nod, he took out a drink from a corner of the display case.
Watching him, Do-gyun felt a sense of admiration at the situation that was intertwined like a scene in a movie.
There seemed to be something. So, it is a situation that gives off the kind of emotion that you only see in movies. It would be correct to say that it is a situation that can only be seen in westerns, which I was in love with during my school days.
I feel excited for some reason.
As Do-gyun’s gaze moved back and forth between Eun-seol and the bartender, Eun-seol let out a deep sigh and calmed Do-gyun.
“Calm down. Because he’s like a country boy.”
It was a word that drowned Do-gyun at once.
Do-gyun made an embarrassed face at the words spoken, then cleared his throat and sat down next to Eun-seol.
“Do you come here often?”
“In the past.”
The bartender made two cocktails and presented them to Do-gyun and Eun-seol.
Eun-seol raised a cocktail glass and took a sip from him, giving him a satisfied expression.
What should I express? After all, is Eun-seol the happiest person when drinking?
Do-gyun, who had been giggling at the thought for no reason, followed Eun-seol and drank a sip of a cocktail, then exclaimed ‘Oh’ again.
“It is delicious.”
“Don’t eat too much. Then it goes hook at once.”
“Ah, how old am I, can’t I control that one thing?”
Eun-seol’s gaze turns to Do-gyun. Do-gyun put an end to Eun-seol’s worries by waving his hand at the questionable look in his gaze.
“Anyway, I am a working social worker. I control that much.”
Saying that, take another sip.
‘It’s really delicious.’
… And, I don’t remember anything after that.
*
The next day, it was Eun-ah’s hangover soup that greeted Do-gyun, who woke up inside.
Do-gyun let out a small sigh of relief as he recalled the thought of ‘I wasn’t the only one drunk’ at the sight of Eun-ah eating soup while becoming a half-corpse.
“… How are you feeling?”
“Lord, death…”
Dalgrak. Dalgrak. After finishing the meal, Do-gyun and Eun-ah stumbled over to the sofa and settled down in a half-lying position.
When I came into my arms, I could smell Eun-a’s strong alcohol.
‘… No, it’s my smell.’
I don’t know. It just felt like the smell of alcohol was vibrating everywhere.
Do-gyun let out a long breath with the sound of ‘Keep it off’, and rolled his head to reflect on what had happened the previous day.
‘Therefore…’
It reminded me of drinking for a long time, drunk with cocktails that flowed like water and the atmosphere of an emotional bar.
Afterwards, Eun-seol suggested that he stop drinking, and he answered that he was fine and drank more.
In a blur, Eun-seol, who had sighed at him, came to mind.
‘Okay…’
Have you been drinking too long? Well, it seems that the mood has been burnt because I haven’t had a chance to drink alcohol in the past.
‘… By the way.’
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-ah.
‘If Eun-ah is doing this…’
Eun-seol must have been quite overworked yesterday.
I mean, they both might have drank to the point of staggering.
Do-gyun’s eyes narrowed as he continued to think.
‘Something…’
It seems like it will come to mind…
While I was thinking like that.
Rattle-.
Do-kyun’s whole body was excited by a scene that momentarily passed through his mind.
Right now, Eun-seol is wearing glasses crookedly on the sofa right next to her.
Staggering, Eun-seol clings to herself…
“Suck!”
“Yes… ?”
Eun-ah tilted her head at Do-gyun’s shaking body. Do-kyun shook his head with an awkward smile at Eun-ah looking at him with suspicious eyes.
“Oh, I got chills for a while.”
“It’s cold, it’s cold… ?”
“No. It’s okay.”
“Yes…”
Eun-ah put her head into her arms again. From her mouth, she made a sound of ‘uhh’.
Looking at him, Do-gyun felt cold sweat running down his back.
‘Therefore…’
With stealth.
‘… Kiss?’
I think we matched our lips.
Do-gyun’s fingertips trembled. The pupil shook vigorously.
‘No…’
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-ah. In the middle of the day, the look of buried his head in her arms. Do-gyun felt a sense of guilt welling up inside him.
‘… Really?’
What happened? What happened?
A lot of questions running through my head. In response, Do-kyun tried to remember last night somehow, but he couldn’t think of anything.
Do-gyun’s eyes were tightly closed.
‘You should drink in moderation… !’
Why is alcohol so delicious!
Do-gyun, who had been resentful of the delicious drink and the atmosphere of the bar, looked down at Eun-ah with a stiff face.
‘This…’
Do you also remember Eunseol?
That thought came to my mind.
*
Alcohol was the enemy. His drinking was the problem.
Do-gyun, who had been feeling guilty for no reason at the scene that came to his mind, acted while observing Eun-ah throughout the day.
It was because of a feeling of guilt.
Of course, Eun-ah doesn’t know what happened the day before, but she can’t help but feel that she is stabbing him.
During this day, Do-gyun was able to clearly realize why married men who cheated on him became kinder to their wives.
It’s because there’s something stabbed, it’s because I can see it for no reason.
Even when Eun-ah stretches her body, she flinches. Even when she yawns, she flinches. When I talk to her or touch her body, I feel my heart shrink.
A grievous feeling began to settle in Do-gyun.
‘If I drink again… !’
It’s not a person but a dog! Chun-shik, who lives at home, is a brother!
A day to continue sighing like that.
Seeing Eun-seol come back late in the evening, Do-gyun made an absurd face.
“What.”
“Oh, no…”
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-seol, who was stretching with a refreshing face.
‘… No way now.’
Did you come back out only when you had a hangover and it was time to get back to normal?
At the assumption that popped into his head, Do-kyun’s mouth dropped open.
Demonic manifestation. Inhumane act.
How can a person do that It was such an absurd act that what he had been grunting until just before was blown out of his head in an instant.
“That…”
“What.”
“… No.”
Do-gyun’s head fell.
He wanted to shoot him at something, but Do-kyun knew it was best to just pretend he didn’t know at a time like this.
Furthermore, isn’t he in a position to say something to Eun-seol right now?
Kiss. Remembering that, Do-kyun’s eyes narrowed as he turned to Eun-seol.
‘Do you remember… ?’
At first glance, there was no sign of anything different.
As he brewed and drank coffee with a refreshing face, he did not show any signs of being different from usual.
‘… Can’t you?’
Please, please.
Dokyun closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
A desperate desire emerged in Do-gyun.
It’s just that you don’t know the secret. So if he keeps his mouth shut, won’t this be kept a secret for the rest of his life?
Do-gyun’s eyes turned to Eun-seol again.
Still, just in case you don’t know. He might be pretending to be calm now. Do-gyun, who came up with that idea, made the decision to open Eun-seol’s mouth and opened his mouth to speak to Eun-seol.
“Me, Eunseol?”
“Why.”
Eun-seol’s gaze turned to Do-gyun. Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol, who was a bit dazed and a bit haggard with a lingering hangover, and spat out a question in a voice full of tension.
“Hey, was I too drunk yesterday?”
It was a saying back and forth. What happened yesterday do you remember words with such a meaning.
Concealed from him.
“I do not know either.”
I answered.
Do-gyun’s body flinched and trembled.
If it’s a positive signal, it could be. First of all, there was a possibility that Eun-seol would not know the scene.
Do-kyun groaned for a moment at the relief that filled up inside him and the sense of guilt that flowed out stronger for some reason, then continued with Eun-seol with a question.
It was a question for confirmation.
“You don’t even know how you got into the house?”
“I don’t know. Because I handed over to Eun-ah in the middle.”
Words handed over.
Immediately after, from Do-gyun’s mouth, who had been pondering the meaning of the words for a while.
“… Yeah?”
A question popped up.
Do-gyun jumped up from his seat and looked at Eun-seol with a blank face. Eun-seol tilted her head at the sight of Do-gyun suddenly leaving her seat and continued.
“You banged your head on the table, so I just let it go because it was annoying.”
Suddenly, Do-gyun felt his whole body loosen up at the words handed to him and sighed. He laid himself down on the sofa.
Eun-seol’s head tilted to the side again, but Do-gyun shook his head and said, ‘It’s nothing’ and took a deep breath.
‘Ah…’
Thank god.
It wasn’t the wind.
According to him, it was Eun-ah who kissed her. He licked his lips while drunk! Just do the same thing you always do!
Ando that fills the whole inside.
Do-gyun felt as if tears were about to flow, and he thanked the unknown person.
