Chapter 41 – Episode 41. Friends Who Invite You to Go Clubbing
***
A few days passed.
It’s Sunday.
Ah, the day after I slept with Siyeon Lee, she really woke me up early so I could go to school in the morning.
Even if it’s Sunday, there’s no reason to take a break from studying.
I don’t know if it’s when my efficiency doesn’t go up well, but I think it’s better to do it all the time on ordinary days.
It might be better to take a day or two off a week.
Still, I think.
As expected, there may come a time later when I have a really hard time studying, so I want to go and do it at that time, whether I’m resting or playing.
Right now, I’m just working hard.
I came out after studying almost all day on Sunday in the academy’s self-study room.
Then, I opened a book in the study room for a while and took a couple of seats, and went to eat fried pork stir-fry at a little over 7:00, a little later than normal dinner time.
There are a lot of high school students in this area, so there are quite a few people who eat alone, so there are many shops where you can eat one serving of meat alone.
I went to a restaurant specializing in stir-fried pork and ordered it.
And waited a bit
At a nearby table, two men were talking, and I listened for a while.
“Do you know how many people we’re recruiting this year?”
“That hasn’t come out yet? Wouldn’t it be similar to last year?”
“These days, being a real civil servant is the answer. Ah, it should be this time. Did you see that? The 89% self-employment rate of business closure these days~.”
“When was the economy good? It’s always the same.”
“It’s because the global market has a good atmosphere on the Chinese side right now. Is that why our country is having a hard time?”
“What are you talking about? Our country also benefits from China’s economic growth.”
At first glance, it seems that the two opinions are opposite.
I looked at him and thought.
After all, meeting people increases the consumption of emotions and energy, and it seems that there are elements that can distract the mind a little.
I set my spoon and chopsticks in my place, poured a glass of water, sipped little by little, and waited for my meal while listening to what they were saying.
There are a lot of people, so the rotation is good, so I ordered and waited, and the meat came out quickly.
It comes out well with 1 recognition.
Jeyuk stir-fry is an earthen pot style, and sizzling red pepper paste meat appears in a black and neat earthenware pot.
And I got to eat.
“Mum mum…”
The meat was delicious.
It was hot for a while, so it was time to eat the delicious red pepper paste meat one by one over rice.
Someone puts a can of Coke on the table.
While eating, I saw a person doing something like this and putting a Coke.
Looking at it, it was a female waitress, a face I had never seen before.
I was a little embarrassed and told her.
“Hey, didn’t you order a Coke?”
Then she smiled and answered me.
“Hoho, service~! Come often!”
The waitress gives me a Coke to see if she has quite a few other things to do and quickly goes somewhere else.
“Ah~, yes. Thank you~.”
I thanked the fast-moving part-timer.
And, I immediately thought while opening a can of Coke.
‘Cola… It’s fleshy and the combination is good.’
I have a lot of luck like this.
No matter where you look at other tables, there are hardly any tables with canned cola.
It’s worth ordering it separately, but I don’t think it’s good to eat it.
“Gulp, gulp…”
I drank the sweet, carbonated Coke and ate the meat again.
It’s good.
There are quite a few stores that sell meat in this area, and I have eaten all of them.
In general, it can be said that pork tastes better than normal no matter where you eat it, probably because there is a lot of gochujang sauce in it.
Among them, the place I came from was the place I thought was the best in my subjective standards.
Eating a bowl of rice with hot gochujang bulgogi-like stir-fried pork made it feel like the stress accumulated while studying was fading away.
While I was eating, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
When I was studying in the study room, I would not have seen the message.
If that happened, you would probably have checked the messages piled up over time.
However, I was able to check it because I was having dinner with me for a while in the academy’s self-study room.
The message came from a group chat room with three people, Joo-hwan, Jong-hoon, and me, who wanted to be quiet for a while.
[Jin Hyuk]
[Jinhyuk-nim ㅠㅠ]
The guys found me one after another.
‘…’
I wondered what was going on.
For some reason, I guessed that maybe, as always, there was a problem with women.
I typed in a brief message.
[Yep]
When I typed in a brief message, Joo-hwan and Jong-hun’s subsequent messages came up.
[Jinhyuk-ah, actually, the two of us went to a club again yesterday, but it sucks]
[TT]
[Ha.. Kim Joo-hwan said he would carry me, so I grabbed a table, but the money was broken]
[Sex Jonghoon-nim~~ Because you didn’t hold on to one person properly, my partner also left, shacky]
[Isn’t the probability that it happened first??]
[Fuck it]
The two were still bickering.
After hearing more of their stories, the progress was like this.
Joo-hwan and Jong-hoon went to a club together yesterday.
I grabbed a table and cooled down the liquor.
I didn’t get a room-style room, but I set a table at a decent club as a course to pour some liquor, so I played enough to cost more than 1 million won a day.
They say they both tried their fucking best to flirt with the girl.
Joo-hwan and Jong-hoon arrived a couple of hours after the club opened and ran until the morning approached when it was almost closing time, adding more alcohol to their drinks.
However, both of them could not seduce a woman and became birds.
It was unfortunate.
I also have cases like that.
It’s not that I don’t have a day of heotang.
However, when looking at the probability, the probability of success in my case is much higher than that of other men.
Most of the time, when I leave the club, I go to the motel with my beau.
I’ve never seen anyone, at least around me, have a higher win rate than me.
Also, from my point of view, I think Joo-Hwan and Jong-Hoon are good-looking enough, but it is also unfortunate that their success rate is very low.
As I was thinking that, more messages came from them.
[Jinhyuk-ah, so~~ Let’s run together today~~]
[ㅇㅇ Yesterday, the blood loss was so great, so the table is a bit different, and I’ll take care of standing and TV]
I laughed at their message and shook my head.
It’s been a while since I ran up to the 4th car and drank and asked to see you next spring, but it’s already like this.
I picked up a piece of flesh with chopsticks along with green onions and ate them deliciously while tapping them.
[Aren’t you both going to work tomorrow? ;]
Then, in an instant, messages from Joo-hwan and Jong-hoon came one after another.
[It’s okay haha sleeping late while playing doesn’t interfere with work]
[I’m new to the company, so the shooter is almost done anyway.]
[Brother ㅠㅠ]
[Please, just for today]
They were really great guys.
I don’t know if it’s Friday or Saturday, but if I run on Sunday, I’ll do it, but they didn’t know what they were doing when they went to work on Monday.
Also, I thought about whether Joo-hwan and Jong-hun had not yet escaped from the slavery of their lower body.
Of course, I can’t say I’m completely free from desire, but I feel like this is a kind of difference in degrees of freedom.
I always have a choice, and I can do it whenever I put my mind to it.
Unlike Ju-hwan or Jong-hun, he has nothing to be impatient about because he has such a relaxed mind.
On the other hand, since they have no choice, it can be seen as a state of mind that is always exhausted.
I decided to refuse them appropriately while enjoying the stir-fried pork.
With that in mind, I picked up my phone and typed a message.
[Sibaloms, there are so many things to study~~~ I’m leaving the group chat room. I’ll contact you if you pass]
I posted a message like that.
And as I said, I left the 3-person chat room with them.
“Bastards… Once you start playing, there is no answer.”
Isolation doesn’t seem to be that easy.
The club also thinks that it consumes a little more than others while playing.
This is because, once you go, there are more cases where you meet someone you like after playing with a lot of people for a long time, rather than meeting your ideal type as soon as you go.
So, it takes a lot of time to go once, but on top of that, the club is accompanied by alcohol.
It’s okay to be open all night until dawn or morning, but you have to keep drinking while you meet other women in a row.
So, if I’m going to play at the club, I prefer to play the next day when I’m completely free.
It is difficult to do so during the civil service examination period, such as a marathon, where you have to study the next day and the next day all day like now to maintain your form.
Fortress studies are going well.
I turned off my phone
Today, I thought I would turn it off for a while and then turn it on again after self-study, because I thought that if those bastards went into heat again and whined, text messages would come incessantly.
And I put my phone back in my pocket.
After that I resumed eating.
The hot rice and hot stir-fried pork stir-fry were consistently delicious from the first taste.
The thin and tender meat went so well with the hot gochujang seasoning, and it also went well with other vegetables such as green onions and onions.
I thought while blowing on the rice with the meat on it.
‘It’s a club.’
Actually, if I’m not in this situation, the club is good too.
It would be to visit again after passing the exam, not now.
When I think about it, it’s also a bit sad.
Even while I’m dying like this in the gosichon, time flies.
Youth is limited, and I will be in my late 20s next year.
One day, I might be too old to go to clubs.
That’s why, in order to secure as many days as possible for me to play, I must succeed in this test.
There is a reason why my friends are desperately looking for me.
I was an ace when I went to clubs with my friends.
When I felt that way in a club… I used to go to clubs with them, and that happened.
I don’t remember if it was Joo-hwan or Jong-hoon, but there was a time when I was told to go to a different bar to be a maid by women, and I was cursed at.
By the way, when I went to the same table, the second round was able to continue so smoothly.
Such similar enemies and not once or twice.
That’s why when Joo-hwan and Jong-hun go to clubs, I, who can be seen as the face madam, could have felt very sorry for leaving.
For them, if I’m there, the success rate in the group seat can go up considerably.
I thought about that while eating.
So, I ended up eating dinner.
There are many places where you can return your tableware after you finish eating, and this restaurant is the same.
Nothing special. All you have to do is slide the tray with the earthen pot on it, spoons and chopsticks, and empty Coke cans into the tray return area.
I returned the plastic tray and left the restaurant.
After dinner, I feel quite full.
I circled around a bit.
It was for easy digestion.
I went around trying to digest it, and I bought a fresh fruit juice and ate it.
I think it’s okay to eat a fruit like this after a meal.
It’s a hassle if you cut it yourself, but if you buy juice from a store while passing by, it’s very simple, but it’s okay because the fruit is changed right in sight.
People often carry around a lot of coffee and drink it while studying, but personally, I tend to drink water while studying.
So I walked around a bit, drank all the juice, and by the time I finished drinking, I returned to the vicinity of the academy.
I threw away the thin transparent plastic bottle of juice I drank in the garbage cans provided on each floor of the academy and returned to the study room.
The study room was definitely less crowded than on weekdays.
I would have liked this atmosphere better.
The more people there are, the more things to care about.
So it’s good when there are few people like this.
If there are a lot of people, someone gets up and goes in and out of the door to make a phone call from time to time, and someone makes noise, such as clearing their throat.
Moreover, when it’s crowded, when I have to go to the bathroom, I have to get out of the gap between the chair and desk where someone is sitting, which is also cumbersome.
There’s no need for that now.
Because it was Sunday, there were no academy classes, so no one came to take a private academy class, but while they came, no one wanted to use the study room.
Whatever the others, I started studying again after I returned to the academy’s self-study room.
‘Let’s do it like crazy until the end today.’
I stretched once and focused my eyes on the book.
Friends who tempted to go to the club definitely refused.
And I fixed my eyes on the content to be learned and memorized the meaning in detail, holding a pen in one hand and taking notes on additional notes or reading them over and over again.
