Chapter 56 – Episode 56 Forced Harmony (1)
“What do you think?”
“I agree.”
“I like it too.”
“Isn’t it strange not to do it?”
The four women gathered at the cafe, talking about various things, were making plans with excited expressions. The girls were excited as if they were planning a trip, but in fact, they were much more excited than that. They were talking about teaching assistants to Yeji, A-yeon, and Sia.
“But is it really okay?”
Eunseo’s question contained two meanings. The other two were new to the situation so far, but Eunseo had a general understanding of it. She knew that her Hye-hyeon, she wanted her, her Ye-ji to be tormented and ruined according to her own will.
“Well, you guys helped me out a lot. Now there’s no need to keep it a secret that Yeji has to crawl through her bottom. And the fun doubles when we all have fun together, right?”
Hye-hyeon said, stirring the straw around the coffee she placed in front of her.
“Besides, there’s no need to force the opponent into submission by punching. Look at that bitch. If it wasn’t for Yeji, she would have done it a long time ago…”
If you think about it, it was an umbrella effect caused by Yeji’s fist her her her her, but it was not necessarily her her own force her her her her. Due to the nature of special vocational schools that are difficult to survive on their own, such behind-the-scenes manipulation and political corruption were already implicitly rampant. If you look at it in a small way, forming a group like Yeji or Eunseo also applies.
“I want to give you this opportunity to experience hell.”
As Hye-hyeon, she thought she did rather well. After all, she would be safer in groups than alone. The more hair she has, the fewer variables there will be. At first she thought she had better grades and was smarter than them, but after recovering her computer files, she thought that was just her own arrogance.
“It was tiring for me to do it alone anyway. I have personal things to do and there are times when it’s annoying. So it’s better to play with a group of people.”
Hye-hyeon’s sincerity must have been most deeply expressed in the last words. Although Eunseo’s group had a common dislike for Yeji’s group, the person they each hated the most was different. Eun-seo’s hatred for Ye-ji was the greatest because she had experienced it herself, and Si-hyeon was targeting Sia, who was on the same broadcast. Along with Yeji, Miju felt that Zinc, who had nothing and was showing off, was the worst.
“Still, they’re all unlucky.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“But do they know about this too?”
“No.”
Hye-hyeon smiled and answered.
“The climax is the most fun when it explodes when it’s important, right?”
At Hye-hyeon’s words, she giggled as if she was having fun just imagining the other three women.
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
“By the way, this coffee really tastes like alcohol, doesn’t it? I never thought there was a coffee like this. I didn’t know because I only drink Americano and latte all the time.”
Miju said while drinking Einspaner, the main contributor to this trap. Although she was not a weak drinker, Mijoo’s face turned slightly red, perhaps due to her low decomposition ability. No one could tell whether it was the alcoholic coffee or her anticipation of her future teaching assistant.
It’s still too early in the afternoon to drink. Seven women were gathered at Yeji’s house, drinking and chatting. To be exact, the four women were chatting happily as if they were on a picnic, one had an aggrieved expression and the other had a fearful expression. Yeji was glaring at the four women chatting freely in her house with her confused face her her.
“Yeji, relax your eyes. This is a place where we can all get to know each other, but if you hold the hook like that, will you get wrinkles?”
“Puhahahaha! What is a hookah, puhuhuh.”
“Yeji, do you have that look on your face even when you do business in the bathroom? The toilet is going to spray!”
“This guy is crazy too, really kekekekekekekekekekekekeke.”
Low-level expressions that he would never have said to Yeji under normal circumstances. However, Yeji just accepted the ridicule without any response. Sia, who attended this event only believing in Ye, was in an incomprehensible atmosphere, and she sensed something strange and was hoping that nothing bad would happen, while in her mind, A-yeon could only anticipate that something was going to happen .
“Guys, do you want to play a game? We have drinks, so we should play games too~”
Once the atmosphere had warmed up to a certain degree, Hye-hyeon made a suggestion to everyone. Drinking games are usually easy, simple, but childish games, and their purposes are very diverse. When you want to drink alcohol with great intensity, to break an awkward atmosphere, or when you want to drink alcohol in moderation. But now, Hye-hyeon’s suggestion was not included for any purpose.
Zinc, who heard those words, said with a puzzled expression.
“Hey, are you that clueless? Look at the atmosphere…”
“Yes, games can be fun too. After all, you can’t miss games when drinking!”
As if she was deliberately waiting for A-yeon to speak, Mi-ju agreed with Hye-hyeon’s opinion by interrupting her mid-sentence as if ignoring A-yeon.
“I’m bored just playing games, so how about this? Even though we’re friends now, there has to be a hierarchy, right? We’re deciding the hierarchy through a drinking game.”
“What? “You decide that kind of thing?”
“If it’s a twist, will it be decided by a majority vote?”
Zinc looked around her. Even if the three members of Eunseo’s group were exceptions, there was no way Cheon Hye-hyeon would take their side her her her her. Zinc’s thoughts she was correct. Perhaps, even if Hye-hyeon suddenly encountered this situation, she would never intend to take Ye Jine’s side to her. What’s more, now there was a plan in advance with Eunseo’s group.
“…There’s no reason why we should listen to that kind of story in the first place?”
“So you’re saying you want to join me again?”
Hye-hyeon asked back as if it were ridiculous.
Eun-seo thought that Hye-hyeon stepped forward at the right time. Even though A-yeon’s fighting skills were underrated, she thought that she was stronger than Ye-ji or Hye-hyeon, and that she had a fight with Yeong-seo at the beginning of her semester. And among regular students, gangs play a big part in fights. She couldn’t guarantee that Sihyeon and Miju would win.
Of course, Zinc couldn’t accept Hyehyun’s words. Of course she believed in Yeji, and when Zinc came forward, she looked at Yeji.
“…Good.”
Yeji’s mouth, which she had been waiting for, opened, but it was not the answer that Zinc had hoped for.
“Yeji!! What are you talking about!”
From Zinc’s point of view, she could not understand Ye-ji’s abandonment of the privileges she was entitled to.
“As expected, Yeji is a bit different. How long are you going to keep fighting in primitive fistfights? Your leader has accepted it… And what are you going to do?”
“Chee it…!”
Zinc turned her head. Something was clearly going wrong with her. But she couldn’t figure out what it was. Even if she had noticed, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything.
“So, what game are you going to play?”
“It’s simple. Actually, it’s not like we can play friendly drinking games… Ta-da~”
What Hye-hyeon took out from her her arms she was a card.
“You all know what poker is, right? The rules are simple, and you have to use your brain.”
Yeji nodded her head. She didn’t even need to check with Eunseo. She had already mentioned that she was going to play poker.
“Still, the rules are slightly different depending on the method, so I’ll explain.”
– Each person receives 5 cards.
– Cards can be replaced, one for each person in order, a total of three cards.
– How to replace a card: Place a card to be discarded face up in front of you and receive a new card. You can make this replacement a total of three times.
– If you do not want to replace the card, you may not replace it. In that case, the card cannot be replaced until the game ends.
– The order of genealogy is spades, diamonds, clovers, and hearts.
– Joker is excluded from the game and A can be used as 1 or 14.
“How about it, simple? It might be a little different from the official poker rules, but let’s skip the complicated stuff, it’s just a game. Oh, and we won’t shuffle until the cards run out. So, these 53… 4… How many cards? Anyway, the duplicate cards won’t come out until all the cards in this deck run out. Because it’s annoying, and if you shuffle every time, you’ll get loose, right?”
“Hey, is this only for Eunseo and Ye? So what do we do?”
Sihyeon, who was listening to the explanation, raised his hand and said.
“Anyway, this is a team game, right? Excluding me, of course! That way, we’ll be matched up in pairs of three, so it’s fair, hehe.”
‘If it’s this way, it doesn’t matter if the page numbers don’t match, right?’
Some of the people there had doubts about Hye-hyeon’s words her her her, but they did not pay much attention and waited for her her next words her her her.
“Eunseo and Yeji play the game, and the other two receive penalties.”
At Hye-hyeon’s words, all six people looked at Hye-hyeon’s face at her at the same time.
‘You bastards. You’re good at acting.’
Even though she had already given me a rough explanation, she decided to act as if she was hearing it for the first time. It was purely for fun. However, the acting was more natural than expected, and Hye-hyun almost burst out laughing the moment she saw Mi-joo and Si-hyeon’s faces.
‘Or did you really forget or didn’t understand? There is a possibility.’
Hye-hyeon, who was thinking about something else for a moment, came to her senses when she saw the gaze looking at her and continued her explanation again.
“Every time we lose a game, the two people except Yeji and Eunseo take turns receiving penalties from the opposing team. Well, I don’t need to tell you the details, right? The winner decides who gets it.”
As the explanation continued, Sia’s expression gradually became more contemplative. She thought she would continue to be safe under Yeji’s umbrella, but recently she became involved with Yeji and only bad things have been happening. The current situation could not be considered advantageous at all. But she couldn’t just leave or run away. Even if she avoids the situation now, without Yeji, she is just an easy prey to play with.
Zinc, on the other hand, had a different idea.
‘I don’t know what happened to this situation… But from what I’ve seen so far, even though the given environment was bad, there was no interference once the game rules were set. Then, it is a game where foresight has the advantage.’
Among the rules set by Hye-hyeon, the card shuffle is not done at the end of the game, but every time the cards are used up. This means that you can count the cards that run out. If it’s a game where you use your head, you won’t be at a disadvantage compared to Eunseo.
“How are you going to decide the final winner? Isn’t that the most important part? Who wins the most after deciding the number of rounds?”
“No, that’s not fun.”
Hye-hyeon, who had never received attention like this before, felt as if she was making a big announcement.
“Basically, if Eunseo and Yejido lose in the game, they have to drink a glass of punishment liquor. After all, this is a drinking game. And the key to this game! If you play well, the turning point of the game is …”
The six women held their breath and waited for Hye-hyeon to speak, as if they had made a promise.
“Hold your pee!!”
