Chapter 49 – Feels Good
At the sudden request to go to karaoke, embarrassment rises on everyone’s faces.
Min Ga-hee, who didn’t feel that sign at all, said with a smile on her face.
“Hi-Hi. I want to sing because I drink.”
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Min Ga-hee, who was chattering and humming, with absurd eyes.
‘I don’t know what he’s thinking.’
Anyone can see that now is not a karaoke room, but the time to break up and set the mood to drink more or go to a motel.
In particular, haven’t Lee Jung-hoon and Yoon Seul-gi already caught on?
It’s not just the two of them.
Min Ga-hee also said that she wanted to kiss Seo Joo-hwan from her first question, and even after that, she pointed to him as a person she was interested in. But suddenly, out of the blue, why are you asking to go to karaoke?
Unsurprisingly, Seulgi Yoon has a very embarrassed face. Is it because I think I’ll miss the opportunity to make things work out with Lee Jung-hoon? She said in a slightly chilled voice.
“You want to go to karaoke now?”
“Yes. I saw earlier that Junko was nearby. I think it would be fun to sing while drinking there.”
“Drinking? Min Ga-hee, you really… Don’t you take care of your neck? Don’t you know that if you drink and sing, your throat will go out?”
“… What do you do with your day? Don’t be too tight.”
“You…”
A conversation that was sharper than expected.
What was the problem It doesn’t seem like it was simply because he ruined the atmosphere without notice.
Yoon Seul-gi, speechless, was now glaring at Min Ga-hee. Even so, Min Ga-hee was still smiling, but it felt distinctly different from before.
The air quickly became awkward.
At that moment, an audible sound rang in Seo Joo-hwan’s ears.
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
At that moment, an irresistible force was applied to the glass he was holding. With the feeling of friction disappearing, the glass in my hand slipped.
Clink!
The most embarrassed by the sound of breaking glass were the two people who were in a confrontational state.
“Mom!”
“Huh?!”
The atmosphere, which had been frozen for a moment, was broken by an unexpected commotion. Yoon Seul-gi was looking for her mother, and Min Ga-hee shook her shoulders with an incomprehensible sound.
Lee Jeong-hoon exquisitely intervened without missing the gap.
“Uh. I was surprised. Hey Joo Hwan. Are you drunk already?”
“Sorry. My hand slipped Are you both not hurt? Gahee are you okay?”
He patted Min Ga-hee on the back, who was surprised to hear it right away. At that, Min Ga-hee blinked and looked at him with a strange gaze, then smiled softly.
“Brother, are you drunk? Would you like to stop drinking?”
“Haha. It’s not that I’m drunk, it’s because my hand slipped for a second.”
“Hey. The whole atmosphere is broken because of Joo-hwan. Let’s get up Uh, Seulgi, your phone is gone.”
“Ah. Thank you, brother.”
The four of them each packed their things and got up.

Lee Jung-hoon came out and said with a shy smile.
“I’m sorry, but can I smoke a cigarette?”
“Yes I’m okay.”
“Go and come.”
The two women nodded as if they didn’t care.
Lee Jung-hoon said while beckoning to the girls from an invisible angle.
“Juhwan-ah, you too?”
“Okay… “
“Can I go too?”
Yoon Seul-gi cuts off her words and enters.
I looked up in surprise and she said.
“I want to smoke one too.”
“Uh? Do you smoke too?”
“Yes, sometimes.”
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Yun Seul-gi, who was saying that, and Min Ga-hee, who was standing there silently.
Yoon Seul-gi seemed to be trying not to show off, but she had a subdued expression, and Min Ga-hee was smiling lightly for some reason.
He said to Lee Jung-hoon, who had a troubled expression on his face.
“Hyung, the two of you are gone. I’ll be with Kahi.”
It seemed like he had something to say, but he couldn’t leave Min Ga-hee alone. Anyway, if Yoon Seulgi is with me, I won’t be able to talk.
Yoon Seul-gi, as if she had noticed the reason for his falling for her, furrowed her nose and bowed slightly.
“I’m sorry, brother.”
“Uh? What?”
When I said it as if I didn’t know, Yoon Seul-gi smiled a little.
“Put. Anyway, I’ll be back soon. Please stay with Kahi.”
“Okay. Go slowly.”
“Juhwan-ah, then I’ll come back.”
“Uh.”
The two walked down a nearby alleyway.
After the two disappeared from sight, Seo Joo-hwan, who glanced down at Min Ga-hee, was greatly embarrassed.
Her expression her, which had always been smiling, had collapsed.
Min Ga-hee, whose smile had disappeared, looked like a completely different person.
‘Am I angry?’
He was good at reading people’s expressions thanks to his life as an eyewitness before returning, but he could n’t understand Min Ga-hee’s thoughts at all.
She looked a little angry, she felt sorry at the same time, and she also seemed a little sad.
‘Write. I’ve never soothed a woman…Is there?’
It’s also quite a bit more than you’d think.
She held Choi Mi-hwa in her arms and comforted her, and when she was young, she comforted her younger sister her and Han Su-ah.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at her for a while and then gently took her hand her. Min Ga-hee was taken aback by the sudden hand-holding her and looked up at him. It’s the first look I see today.
“It’s okay?”
“Yes? What?”
To put her embarrassed face her to shame, Min Ga-hee tilts her head and makes a face that doesn’t know why.
But it’s rather awkward. Even so, after growing up, until he was 32 years old, he had lived while paying attention to others.
… Seo Joo-hwan suddenly wanted to cry, but he soon held Min Ga-hee’s hand a little tighter.
She wiggled her hands and let out a polite laugh.
“Brother’s hands are really big.”
“Is not it? They say women like big hands. What about Kahi?”
“Ugh. I didn’t know, but now that I’m holding hands with my brother, I think it’s good that I’m bigger too.”
Min Ga-hee did not take her hand her away her, as if her large hands her were to her liking her.
The two of them stood holding hands without saying a word.
After a while, Min Ga-hee spoke up first.
“Brother, I’m sorry.”
“Uh?”
“You ruined the atmosphere because of me.”
“Five. Do you know?”
Rather than denying it, Seo Joo-hwan replied playfully.
Min Ga-hee smiled at the generous response and accepted the words.
“Sure. I’m a bit quick-witted.”
“Ok?”
“Oh. What nonsense, I thought. I know everything I knew from the beginning that Seulgi was interested in Junghoon oppa.”
“…….”
Seeing how accurate it is, it might be surprisingly quick to notice. I thought it was blinding.
Min Ga-hee said, adding strength to her clasped hands her.
“I’m just pretending I don’t know. Although that is also his personality.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. There are many times when pretending to be blind is rather comfortable. And… Earlier, I was just trying to be smart, but I made a mistake.”
“Do you drink and sing karaoke?”
“OMG. My brother is also good at it.”
That’s what I heard right in front of my eyes, so I can roughly guess.
However, Seo Joo-hwan was really quick-witted, so I was more concerned about other things than slips of the tongue.
He said carefully.
“If it’s a simple mistake, why are you upset?”
“… Me?”
“Yes. Are you mad at Seulgi?”
“Are you not sorry?”
“I’m angry, I’m sorry. I don’t know the circumstances, but I think you have a bit of a complicated mind.”
“…….”
As if caught off guard, he shuts his mouth, then mumbles like a sigh.
“This brother is really quick-witted….”
“Truck. That’s what age is. As you get older, you become sensitive to people’s emotions.”
“Wow. Like an uncle….”
Saying that, he let go of his hand and took a step away.
Seo Joo-hwan was really hurt and became a bit sullen. It was just a joke.
Min Ga-hee saw that expression and burst out laughing.
“Your brother’s expression is so funny. It’s a joke, a joke.”
It seemed that he had no intention of telling me why he was angry.
Min Ga-hee took her hand again. His slender fingers her interlocked.
The feel in his hand was unexpected.
‘It’s surprising.’
Min Ga-hee’s fingers her, which seemed to have grown nicely, had calluses in places. She didn’t seem like a woman who just laughed out loud.
She hoped to stand like that for a few minutes.
Returning later than expected, the two opened their eyes wide as if surprised to see Seo Joo-hwan and Min Ga-hee standing there.
Lee Jung-hoon, who came closer, said.
“Seulgi is having a hard time, so he said he should go now. I’m trying to take you… What will you guys do?”
“We are…”
“We will drink some more. Go in first.”
Min Ga-hee put strength in her hand her and said.
Seo Joo-hwan just nodded and agreed to the doctor he felt in his clasped hands.
Seulgi Yoon said, holding out the phone to him.
“… Joo-hwan’s older brother Give me your number.”
“Uh?”
“Because Gahi, that bitch won’t be in touch… I’m sorry, but brother, please give me a call.”
I dare to ask for his number so that I can tell Min Ga-hee, who is right next to me. Are you worried about not making eye contact as if you are still angry?
“Phh. Okay.”
Seo Joo-hwan couldn’t stand it and let go of a windy laugh. I really wanted to fight with them.
Yoon Seul-gi’s ears turned red, as if she knew that she was embarrassing.
*
Min Ga-hee looked at the back of the two and muttered.
“What is a house? Joo-hwan oppa, you know what?”
“Yes? What?”
“Seulgi lives with me. I am not going home right now.”
“What is it? Would you like to go to a nearby motel or a hotel?”
“Eh. Did you notice too?”
Seo Ju-hwan shrugged his shoulders.
I don’t know if I’m aware or not. It’s like telling an obvious fact as if it were a great secret.
‘I didn’t know they were living together.’
I got unexpectedly good information. If the two of you live together, it will be difficult to enter the house today.
Seo Ju-hwan first felt the need to change the atmosphere.
“Then shall we go too?”
“Yes? To? Uh, now? I’m not in that mood yet…”
Min Ga-hee hesitantly replied with a blushing face. It was pretty funny how she was embarrassed to come now, but seeing her over and over again, I also got the feeling that it was like her. Even in the middle of it, seeing that she says ‘not yet’, it seems that she has an intention to go.
Seo Joo-hwan said while holding Min Ga-hee’s hand.
“Go there later. You said you want to go to karaoke right now?”
“Ah, karaoke! Uh, well Seulgi would scold me if I sang after drinking….”
As she said that, she hesitated for a moment, but then she shook her head.
“Because Seulgi also smoked… Go!”
“You don’t smoke, do you?”
“Yeah, he smokes, but he doesn’t smoke when he’s with me.”
The reason could be roughly guessed from the stories that have been told so far. It must be preparing for a singer or a musical.
While talking, we arrived at Junko Karaoke. After she settled down, she ordered snacks and drinks in moderation.
“Brother, can I call you first?”
“Then.”
“Hi-Hi. What song do you like?”
“Oh, are you taking song requests?”
“Yes. I’ll call the one you picked.”
“Well. Then…”
Seo Ju-hwan paused for a moment. To be honest, I didn’t know much about the song. Since he mainly listened to hip-hop, it doesn’t immediately come to mind.
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
Still, as I was thinking about it, a suitable song came to my mind.
“Ui’s Feels good, are you okay?”
“Guys also like the songs of You.I.”
“What is it? You’re so famous Don’t you like women too?”
“Right. I like it too.”
Min Ga-hee, smiling brightly, selected the song.
Jeonju comes out.
Seo Joo-hwan was handed a karaoke remote control and selected the next song. Since I can’t sing ballads, I thought of making it an appropriate hip-hop song.
However, the thought of choosing a song soon disappears due to the low voice.
“The sunlight that shines when you wake up in the morning~”
Feels good is a song that expresses the look of love seen through the eyes of a middle school girl. Min Ga-hee’s voice started out low and softly filled the room.
“Smile on your lips and be happy~”
In the first place, the song itself is a calm song without impact. Still, the soft falsetto catches the ear.
‘Class B… Even though it’s still amazing.’
I’ve seen a lot of high-level talent, but in fact, even B-level was a professional area.
Seo Joo-hwan calmly put down the remote control and listened to the song, thinking that his ears were getting better after a long time.
“All my life~.”
A soft and calming song.
It doesn’t have a strong feeling, but it’s a song that makes listeners feel comfortable and puts a smile on their lips.
[Powerful luck on sex intervenes.]
“Don’t put your worries in your heart—”
But why do I suddenly feel sad?
“If tears flow, just cry-“
“If it hurts again, just laugh it off-“
At first I thought it was an illusion.
Feels good is a song about the bright side of a teenage girl.
Because it wasn’t a song with sad feelings.
“If tears flow, just cry-“
“If it hurts again, just laugh it off-“
But when the lyrics in the second verse were repeated, I felt sad again.
It’s a strange thing.
He wasn’t deaf enough to hear the song and recognize the emotion. However, I felt Min Ga-hee’s feelings of her. It’s not even that she had great appeal.
Could this be the effect of a blessing?
“I feel good~.”
At the end of the last lyrics, the song ends and a score is calculated on the screen.
– 100 points!
– Fantastic voice! You are the best!
“Kyaaak! Oppa, I got 100 points!”
Min Ga-hee jumped up and ran as if she was happy.
Seo Joo-hwan did not avoid her and hugged her. Then he patted her on the back and called out to her.
“Gahee.”
“Oh, sorry. I will fall.”
“No, it’s okay. There is more to it.”
“Yes?”
Min Ga-hee tilts her head while holding her because she won’t let go.
Seo Joo-hwan pondered for a while before carefully opening his mouth.
“… What are you worried about?”
“Suddenly? No. Well. Didn’t you have a fight with Seulgi earlier?”
It is a bright voice, no different from before.
Were you worried for nothing?
“Then it’s fortunate, you seem to be worried.”
“Hi-Hi. There is no such thing. Brother, I’m out of breath. Let go now.”
“Okay.”
He let her go, thinking she was lucky.
As she slips out of her arms, she looks at him and says, with her signature smirk.
“Next is my brother’s turn… “
Min Ga-hee stopped talking.
Seo Joo-hwan brought her hand her to her face her.
“… Why are you crying?”
A single tear fell from her smiling face her.
