Chapter 122 – Episode 122. Their Affinity
The three of us, Yun-gyeong, and Ji-eun, stopped at a convenience store to buy drinks and snacks and walked to Song Ji-eun’s house.
I went through a shortcut to the house, so I entered an alley-like place.
It was a road that Jee-eun and I knew, but Yoon-gyeong didn’t, so Yun-gyeong was amazed on the way.
“Wow, is there a road this way too?”
“Uh, since you live on the other side, you must have never been to this side, right?”
“Yes.”
After going a little further, Yoon-kyung pointed out a different road besides the one we were taking.
“Oh, oppa, is there a road to the right from here?”
“Ah, there’s a road there too.”
There was a person that I suddenly thought of when I saw the other road that Yoon-gyeong pointed out, and we stopped going in the middle.
I was lost in thought as I walked down the street.
The thought reached Baeji-ah.
She approached me asking for a light with her lighter for once, and eventually she was able to spend the night with me as she wished.
After entering that road, go up the road on the left side of the large Gosiwon building, and you will find Bae Ji-ah’s house.
She did not stay at Bae Ji-ah’s house, but she had been told by Bae Ji-ah where she was living now.
Come to think of it, a lot of people live in this goshichon.
There are many people who are tightly packed inside a large goshiwon building, and people are living in a much more densely populated building than those who would normally fit into a single building, such as a studio or boarding house.
Being in such an environment, there are naturally many women.
Moreover, the average age is not naturally higher than in other regions.
In other regions, even women may have a high proportion of grandmothers or housewives.
However, the percentage of high school students is overwhelmingly high.
Due to the high ratio of job seekers, the average age of both men and women is younger than in other regions.
I feel like I see a lot of people in their late 20s.
If you pass by the street, except for the occasional glimpse of old women who are the landlords of gosiwons, almost all of them are 99 out of 100 young women.
I suddenly feel that way.
‘What if I live here like Song Ji-eun?’
What would it be like to pass and live here?
And every weekend, they register for the academy again even though they have already passed the exam.
The justification is that after passing the 9th grade, they will prepare for the 7th grade…
At the same time, I wondered if I could meet a lot of women through weekend classes and study sessions.
While thinking about that, I shook my head.
That’s a later thing, and I decided to think about passing first.
We enter the left side at the fork in the road, go in a little further, and then enter the road leading to the one-room village.
Yoon-gyeong seemed to be visiting this road for the first time.
“Wow~, this is all a studio, it looks really nice~.”
I smiled and accepted Yoon-kyung’s words.
“The inside isn’t as flashy as it looks. I had high expectations at first too.”
“Is it so?”
“Aren’t all the doors really shiny with gold plating? Yes, honestly, compared to gosiwon, the golden room is more suitable, but it’s smaller than studios in other areas.”
“Oh~.”
“Rent is cheaper than other areas, so that’s okay.”
It seems there are advantages.
I think the current gosichon’s monthly rent is expensive enough, but I’ve often heard of places where the monthly rent is so high that I wonder if people can survive in other areas.
I was surprised to hear that there are places where the monthly rent for office workers exceeds 1 million won, but that is enough to pass a fairly large percentage of the monthly salary to the landlord, and I was surprised again when I heard that there are places where the monthly rent for office workers exceeds 3 million won. .
The monthly rent for a one-room apartment might be better.
My father runs a fried chicken restaurant, so if you listen to your parents’ stories once in a while, the money you spend running the store is higher.
Anyway, this gosichon has the advantage of being somewhat cheaper than the company village.
I came by taking a shortcut, and since the original academy and the one-room building where I live are not particularly far, I arrived at Song Ji-eun’s house before long.
“Watch out for the stairs.”
“Yes, brother.”
And after coming to the building and going up to the roof, we all entered Song Ji-eun’s house on the roof.
After I went up on the roof, Yun-gyeong talked to me.
“Wow, the house looks really big. Around here, a rooftop is usually split into three or four and used as a gosiwon.”
I replied to Yoon-kyung’s words.
“That’s right. Everyone lives in a really small space. The space is also a space, but in Gosiwon, soundproofing is a real problem.”
As always on the rooftop, a space with a green floor painted with waterproof paint greeted me.
It’s not just this rooftop, if you look at other rooftops from the rooftop, there are quite a few other rooftops painted green as well.
One of the houses I used to live in was not my room, and there was a place where water was leaking from the room next to it, so there was construction work, but it seems to be to prevent such a thing.
The three of us went into Song Ji-eun’s house.
Opening the door, Song Ji-eun turned on the light with her familiar hand movements, and Yoon-gyeong and I followed Song Ji-eun.
Upon entering the house, a room slightly larger than the size of Song Ji-eun’s studio appears.
Song Ji-eun said her words as she moved books and notebooks from her floor to the top of her desk.
“Ah~, if I knew this would happen, I would have cleaned the room.”
It’s a pretty clean room, but Song Ji-eun talked about it, so I took her word in moderation.
“What, it’s already clean.”
I spoke to Yoon-kyung, who was standing in the room for a while.
“Since the three of us come together like this, it feels like a college MT for some reason.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Song Ji-eun went to the back for a while.
“I’ll bring you that award.”
“Uh, yes.”
And after Song Ji-eun set her table, the three of us sat around the table and drank together.
The coats we each wore were hung on chairs or hangers, and the three of us had a drink together in comfortable clothes.
I didn’t have much intention of drinking too much today, and although it’s a little bigger than usual, I wanted to drink just one can of beer and go.
While everyone including me opened the beer cans and laid out the prepared snacks, I spoke to Yun-kyung.
“Ah, that’s right. The author, my neighbor’s cousin is also my neighbor’s cousin, but now I’m an accepted student. If you have any questions, ask me, Yoon Kyung-ah.”
“Oh, really?”
When Yoon-gyeong asked, Ji-eun smiled at Yoon-gyeong and said,
Haha… Yes, it wasn’t long before I passed.”
“Awesome. Unni, can you tell me what kind of teacher you’ve been to?”
“That’s not difficult.”
Yoon-gyeong put her legs together and crouched down on her body, asking Song Ji-eun about this and that and taking notes on her cell phone.
It was cute to see Yoon-kyung passionate about something.
And Ji-eun, who calmly explained to her, was also pretty.
I drank beer while occasionally participating in their stories.
The taste of the beer with the carbonation going over it was cooler than ever.
And one thing that surprised me was that Jieun and Yoongyeong were becoming closer than I thought.
It was also a bit of a strange sight.
In the past, during the study room friction incident, Kwon Se-ah and Kim Yoon-young had a fight because they wanted to fuck each other.
Compared to that time, it was a peaceful sight itself.
I wondered if this was the affinity of women.
Song Ji-eun and Kim Yoon-kyung quickly became close during their conversation, and Song Ji-eun even let Kim Yun-kyung loose her words.
Song Ji-eun is 24 years old and Kim Yoon-kyung is 23 years old, with a one-year difference.
“Wow~, there are so many overlapping lectures~, after listening to unnie’s story about this, I feel more confident, right?”
“Hoho, is that so? And I am like that, but I think it’s helpful to everyone if you listen to what other people say and listen to lectures that suit your taste.”
“Ah yes!”
“Wow, thanks to Jinhyeok oppa’s connections, I’m hearing good things like this again.”
Yunkyung Kim smiled and asked me.
“But oppa, are you really just connected with Jieun unnie?”
“If it wasn’t for that, I would have told you to go home in front of the academy and Jee-eun and I would have come here, right?”
“Huh!”
Haha! Hey, what else are you imagining, Yoon Kyung-ah?”
“Ah~. It’s because oppa gets along with all the really pretty unnies~!”
When Kim Yun-gyeong spoke in her usual tone, which seemed a little excited, Song Ji-eun asked Kim Yun-gyeong.
“Really? Jinhyeok oppa, is that type of thing?”
“Yes. When we sit together, pretty sisters pass by and pretend to know how much they know you.”
I waved my hand and explained.
“Haha, ah, well, isn’t it once or twice? Few people know~.”
This time Song Ji-eun took a sip of her beer and took my words.
“No, oppa is really popular. Oppa would have had a lot of work if he had been at our community center? It’s because of the female customers who come to see oppa for nothing.”
Yunkyung Kim also helped Song Jieun.
“My brother shouldn’t be a civil servant. He should do something like usury. It’s good when a lot of people come.”
Since working as a civil servant increases the number of jobs, Yoon-kyung’s comment about starting a usury business where you can make a profit from increased work was quite funny, but she also seemed strangely realistic.
Usually, the economic rights of the family are often lived on by the woman, but I heard that ‘Pay back the money!’ It’s not like that, but in reality, I’ve heard that there are many cases where housewives who borrowed money are kindly asked to put money in.
If so, I thought that I would definitely have an advantage in that field, but since everyone was joking, I accepted their comments as a joke.
“Ah~, can’t we work at a bank loan window rather than a private loan business?”
“Hohoho! Ah, oppa’s bank clerk suits you well too~, right, doesn’t that kind of thing also feel a bit like an ace fund manager?”
“That’s right, unnie. Ah, just looking at oppa makes my heart flutter, really.”
Yoon-kyung looked at me and her eyes lit up.
While doing so, Song Ji-eun spoke to Yoon-gyeong.
“Aren’t you too tough?”
Song Ji-eun continued talking to Yoon-gyeong.
“She’s so pretty like an internet ulzzang, and her breasts, wow~! I’m really envious. Totally.”
I teased Song Ji-eun once when Song Ji-eun put down her beer can while telling Yoon-kyung that she was pretty and had big breasts and took the action of kneading her free hands.
“Ji-eun, why are your hands like that?”
Haha! I’m sorry, no, but aren’t there few women as tall as Yunkyung?”
“Um~, what~.”
It seems like that.
Meeting a lot of women with big breasts is my life, but among them, Yoon-kyung belongs to the larger side.
And when Song Ji-eun praised Kim Yun-gyeong, Yun-gyeong received her praise.
“I’m not pretty at all. A woman like Jieun is really pretty. She’s tall, has a slim body, and her face is absolutely beautiful.”
“Hohoho! This one~, no~, you’re prettier~.”
“Your sister is prettier.”
I’ve seen this look a lot before.
The way women compliment each other.
Normally, I would think that the ceremony would be formal, but since Jieun and Yoongyeong are quite pretty, I actually had nothing to say because they were both pretty.
Yoon-kyung did not stop praising Ji-eun.
“Since my sister is so pretty and she is a civil servant, she must have a boyfriend.”
Yunkyung Kim asked Jieun Song.
I was also quite curious about Song Ji-eun at first. I’ve already heard the answer before, though.
Song Ji-eun answered Kim Yoon-kyung’s question.
“No, no~.”
“Yes? Why?”
“When I go on a blind date, maybe it’s because I have a job, so they introduce me to a lot of men who think about getting married.”
Song Ji-eun followed her words.
“For men to think about marriage, yes. I like it. But when I look at men who think about marriage, they have had time to settle down, and they are all of a normal age.”
“How much?”
“Meet people older than your age…”
“Huh~.”
“Honestly, I’m not really sensitive to my age, am I?”
Song Ji-eun said her words up to that point and smiled at me as she lifted a peanut and peeled her shell.
“If you’re like Jinhyeok oppa, I think you’ll meet a man in his 40s. But most men aren’t like that.”
Yoon-kyung said, gently putting her hand on Song Ji-eun’s arm.
“It’s dangerous if you use older sister Jinhyeok as your standard of beauty~ It’s heavenly. Oh, and if you’re in your 40s, your older sister is 24, so isn’t her belt the same age as you?”
“No I really don’t think age is just a number. As long as the guy is handsome.”
“Hohoho! Ah, unnie, you’re so honest~.”
“Yun-kyung, you are like that. They’re all the same. A handsome man with ordinary wealth is better than an ugly rich man.”
“I think we can earn money together.”
“But in reality, there are only a lot of ugly men with ordinary wealth… Ugly and rich men become the most popular among them.”
Song Ji-eun’s logic also seems to make sense.
There are very few handsome men in the world.
Then, in a situation where there are many men who do not, and if all of them have similar appearances, the other side, that is, a man with excellent economic ability, will be more in the limelight.
Of course, if you are a man with overwhelmingly superior economic power or power, rather than economic power to be talked about like this, there may be people with a different social position as a higher class, but they are also a minority.
Yoon-kyung continued talking to Ji-eun.
Haha! Oh unnie~! But there is a little bit of that. A man with ability even if he is ugly looks very cool.”
“Uh. Right. I have one too, but I just don’t count. It works for me.”
After hearing the story, I like Ji-eun, Yun-gyeong, and handsome men just as I like beautiful women, but it seems that Yun-gyeong is more tolerant of her appearance than Ji-eun.
After drinking most of her beer, Jee-eun took out her soju from the refrigerator at home.
She and she even drank beer with wheat.
I didn’t make wheat, but Yoon-gyeong drank some alcohol after a long time and said she wanted to get drunk.
I just drank beer.
Yun-gyeong and Ji-eun ate together after meeting each other.
And along with that time, we had a short drinking party where we talked happily.
In the meantime, Ji-eun and Yoon-gyeong became close as her older sister and younger sister, and the drinking party grew more mature.
If I was like me when I was a college student, I would have run until dawn in a place like this.
However, since I have lessons for tomorrow, I decided to go back appropriately.
“Are you two going to eat more?”
