Chapter 77 – Episode 77. Thank You Even if You Just Eat Me
***
With Hyo-jeon sunbaenim, I had another hit at dawn.
Multiple hitches are common.
Especially on days with new beauties like this.
Then, before I knew it, my cell phone alarm went off.
-Thing thithing, ding~ ding~, ding, ding, ding thithing ding ding, thd diddying~, thing thithed, ding~ ding~, ding, ding, ding thithing ding ding, thd diddy…
“Uh…”
I woke up to the sound of the alarm, grabbed my phone by my bedside, and immediately turned off the alarm.
Normally, I wouldn’t have to rely on an alarm, but on a day like this I definitely needed an alarm.
On days with alcohol and women, I needed a slightly later morning.
So I was trying to refrain from them as much as possible.
But in the end, as long as it’s like this, even if it’s a bit tiring day, I start my day with the thought that I have to endure it.
Still, I was sleepy.
Hyo-jin sunbaenim brought breakfast for me when I was waking up and dreaming.
Hyojin sunbaenim placed her table in front of her bed, sat down in front of it, and asked, tidying up chopsticks.
“What time do you go to school?”
Originally, I thought this image was like this.
The image of Hyojin sunbaenim that I thought of was as if she would live without a single drop of water on her hands, eating only expensive food while meeting some well-to-do men.
However, I thought it was a little different.
I slid down from the bed.
After getting off the bed, I spoke while sitting at the table set by Hyojin sunbaenim.
“Umm~, sister. Do you know how to make kimchi stew?”
“Sure. Eat first and wash up. Is it okay to eat right after waking up?”
Breakfast. I can’t eat because I don’t have a self-study.
Triangular kimbap or rice balls that you buy in the morning are okay, but this home-cooked meal is bound to be better.
I don’t know if it’s lunch or dinner, but especially in the morning.
“Sure. Uh~, that sounds delicious.”
There was a stew, and other side dishes could be said to be more abundant than the breakfast I usually ate roughly.
“My dream is to be the wife of a great businessman. I need to help out a little. These days, Joan of Arc women are the trend, but I don’t like such a militant life. I want to live as Shin Saimdang.”
“That’s my sister’s heart. Isn’t life supposed to be what each person wants?”
“Then.”
“Um, sister, but if you’re the wife of such a big businessman… You’ll have several billion, so why don’t you use a woman who cooks separately?”
Hyojin sunbaenim laughed.
“I don’t want to use a housekeeper when I’m newly married. I’ll use it after I have a baby.”
I thought the dream was pretty specific.
There was a point in what she said. When you’re newlyweds, it’s good for the two of you to fuck and play all day.
“Well, that’s right. They’re newlyweds…”
I continued talking while holding a spoon.
“Hey~, would you like to taste the stew that the wife of the next mega-businessman prepared for me for practice?”
“My dear~.”
“Is your sister from Gyeongsang-do?”
“No. I just did it once.”
The dialect seemed quite charming.
But. With such an innocent visual, whether you speak a dialect, a foreign language, or a foreign language, you have no choice but to look cute.
Hyojin and I had a delicious meal together.
Even though it was morning, I didn’t have much of an appetite, but the soup was just right, and there were side dishes like home-cooked rice, so the rice went well.
“Mum mum… Sister, did you make all of these side dishes?”
“I bought it. But did I make the stew?”
“Oh, did I say that my older sister did everything?”
“Even if the washing machine did the laundry, wouldn’t it be the same as the one I did? Hohoho!”
Haha, that’s right. But, noona, stew is the main dish, and it’s also the most delicious.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you for the delicious meal.”
It was me who was thankful, but Hyojin sunbaenim smiled while looking at me as he said thank you.
This experience is also quite a lot for me as a respectable man.
When I have a meal, I often hear from the opposite sex thanking me for eating together once in a while.
We’re just having a meal together, but there’s nothing special about it.
Having lunch with Warren Buffett this year is sold at auction for 5.4 billion, but I am not Buffett either.
“Ah~, what are you talking about? No, noona. You woke up early and prepared me a meal like this, and of course I am grateful.”
“Okay?”
Hyojin sunbaenim scooped up some rice with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and continued.
“No. I’m grateful. Just seeing your face makes my morning start so good.”
“Ah~, really. Noona, why are you like that?”
“Ugh~, that’s right. Let’s wake up.”
Senior Hyojin shook her head from side to side and said to me.
“You’re not in business, right? You’re eliminated. Lee Jin-hyeok, you’re eliminated. Life imprisonment.”
“It’s okay to drop out, but look at the life imprisonment.”
Hyojin sunbaenim laughed a little.
And she spoke to me with exhaled breath.
“Haa~, but I hope there are some people who look like Jinhyeok, the successful businessman.”
“Maybe.”
“Will a man like that never meet me?”
“What about sister? Be confident. Come on. Clench your fists like this~.”
“Huh.”
“I can do it.”
Hyojin sunbaenim easily followed what I suggested and laughed.
Haha! I can do it~, hey, this is a bit of a multi-level executive, isn’t it, Jinhyeok?”
“All you need is strength, what. Do you have some strength?”
“You say you get strength anyway? Looking at your handsome face.”
I can’t stop it
I’m used to it because so many women tell me these things, but it’s nice to hear it.
After having a hearty breakfast at Hyojin-senpai’s house, I went to an academy a little later.
Time was tight as I ate breakfast more leisurely than other times.
Because I woke up a little late, after eating and washing up, it was time to go to study before class.
There was no need to worry about what to do in the study because I had already finished the preparation at the night self-study the previous day.
Hyojin-senpai said that while she was going out anyway, she said let’s go out together too.
So, Hyojin and I ended up leaving the studio together.
Before I come out and go to the academy, I study first.
The place where I study is a fast food restaurant, so I just go there.
As we left the one-room building together, senior Hyojin talked to me.
“Are you going to the academy right away?”
Hyojin sunbaenim’s hair in the morning air was beautiful.
I thought so and listened to her words.
“No, study.”
“Yes? Where?”
“McDonald’s.”
“Ah~. It’s very close to where I’m going~. Let’s go together, Jinhyeok.”
“Really? Where are you going?”
“There’s a big cafe on the side of the overpass, right? I usually study there.”
“Oh, I know where it is.”
On her way to the academy, she was accompanied by senior Hyojin, so unlike usual, she had no time to be bored.
Hyojin-sunbaenim usually studies at a cafe, and the cafe where Hyojin-sunbae mostly studies is very close to the fast-food restaurant where I hold study group meetings.
I’ve been there too.
It is a high-rise cafe that feels a little luxurious to say that it is a cafe in a gosichon.
It is a place overlooking the main road, and the cafe attracts quite a few people who come to study.
However, the cafe does not impose any special sanctions.
It’s because the cafes are all cafes on the 4th and 5th floors anyway, so the space is so wide.
Even if all the people who want to study order a cup of coffee and sit down while drinking it, there is still a seat left.
I usually do self-study in the study room at the academy and at home, but I’ve studied at a cafe occasionally before.
We walked together and talked all the time.
“Jinhyuk.”
“Yes.”
“Study, isn’t it very effective?”
“Hmm, I guess I’m fine.”
“When I saw it, I mean.”
Senior Hyojin continued.
“It’s rather okay when people are awkward at first, but after getting to know each other, doesn’t it? Then Study became Baptuddy, Babtudy became Sultudy, and Sultudy became Sectord?”
It may be unfamiliar in other regions, but it is really famous in this goshichon.
It is also a story that can be heard a lot.
I laughed and sympathized with Hyojin sunbae’s words.
“Right. I’ve heard that too.”
“Right.”
“Yes.”
“Then, aren’t you in the study?”
“What?”
“Like me~, how to say. Some kind of partnership?”
“Ah~, noona~. What is a partnership? Senior and junior, we are. Ah, really, noona. In the past, we were innocent and pitiful. Haven’t you fallen too much in the meantime?”
“Heh! Was it the same back then? Was it because I was just babbling?”
“At that time, noona was really innocent. She came all the way to my house, but left without being able to speak.”
“Ah~! Can’t we forget that? They say you can’t even remember~!”
“Meeting noona reminds me of it again.”
The morning was cool.
Usually, when I just came out of the shower alone and ran to study, there were times when I thought it was a little chilly…
Even though I walked at the same time, it felt good to walk with Hyojin sunbaenim instead of rushing out of the house alone, so it seemed like it felt cool.
While walking with senior Hyojin, we had a casual conversation.
“So, sister, is she still at the cafe?”
“If it goes well at the cafe, stay there, if it doesn’t go well, do it at home.”
“I’ve been there before, but there are quite a few people studying there. Some people bring their laptops and take online lectures.”
“Everything around here is like that. Do you have time to do it at a cafe too?”
I also sometimes study at a cafe.
But I don’t like going to cafes that often.
It’s hard to see a place that appeals to you in terms of price or seating, but… There are times when I really want to go, too.
When I’m organizing my thoughts or something, I feel like a cafe is a good place to think.
“Uh. Sometimes. Ah, I actually did it at the PC room when I wasn’t really studying.”
“Is that okay?”
“When I listen to lectures with a headset on, the boss looks at me a little strangely, but what would you say is a different feeling?”
“The sound of the game, isn’t it just a joke?”
“It’s a similar principle to a cafe, just like studying while controlling your mind in the middle of a lot of people chatting there, you can see PC rooms are similar.”
While talking about cafes, we started talking more about our college days.
When we met yesterday, we talked a lot when we were in college, but there were a lot of people Hyojin and I knew in college, so we had a lot to talk about.
The old story was interesting.
The road to a fast food restaurant to study felt short.
“Really? Are you talking about senior Lee Yoon-ah?”
“Uh. Didn’t you know?”
“Wow, I didn’t even know I was married. When did you even get a divorce?”
“Still, when I look at seniors who got married early, almost all of them live well. Ah~, I want to get married soon too.”
It seems that senior Hyojin was right.
It is said that more than 100,000 people get divorced in our country every year.
But maybe it’s because there aren’t many couples like that around me, so it doesn’t really touch me.
I also want to live like that someday.
I want to have a happy family life without divorce or anything like that.
Well, 100 out of 100 would think of divorce and not get married.
While I was thinking about that, Hyojin-senpai said that while she clench her fist, she made a vow that I had told her when she had breakfast.
“Once I become a civil servant, I’ll just have to register at least three marriage information companies.”
The goal seems very clear.
I have a clear goal of becoming a 9th grade civil servant, but Hyojin seemed to be trying to become the wife of a big businesswoman who wanted to marry her type.
To that end, it seems that she wants to get a job first because she has a job and it’s easier to meet the man she wants.
Seeing that she is now studying here, it seems that Hyojin-senpai did not go well with some of the upper-class men she had met so far, but she hoped things would go well in the future.
Haha, ah, noona is really~. She has more ambition than me. I just need to eat and live.”
I talked about 9th grade.
Then, senior Hyojin looked at me while walking and said,
“You can do it too.”
“Yes?”
“Honestly, if Jinhyeok were your height and your face, wouldn’t you be able to meet the doctor’s oriental doctor’s wife? You and I are on the opposite side.”
I shook my head at Hyojin sunbaenim’s words.
“I like being free, so I plan to get married later. In my mid-30s?
“It’s surprisingly simple.”
Well… Compared to her older sister, she is more modest when it comes to seeking social authority.
However, my ambition to meet as many members of the opposite sex as possible before marriage may be bigger than my sister’s.
“Ah~, older sister.”
“Huh?”
“When you become the wife of a great businessman later, don’t forget about me~. Let my son ask for a job at that company.”
Haha! I’ll decide whether or not to report the amount of the bribe.”
“Kuk… I have to earn hard for that time.”
“Ho-ho-ho!”
Haha!”
The way to the study meeting while talking with senior Hyojin was fun.
This is also true in most cases.
Because I’m such a respectable guy, most girls want to play with me even if it’s a match.
It’s not like that, but there must be some women who are a good fit from the beginning.
To be honest, there are quite a few cases where it’s hard for me to notice if she’s putting in effort on her part to match me or if it’s a good fit.
Perhaps Hyojin-senpai thinks that she might be the right one from the beginning, but she might be saying that this is something she really doesn’t know.
Anyway, I was happily walking with senior Hyojin.
