Chapter 310 – Jade Maehyang (1)
“Hey, hey. This bastard is drunk. “I’m drunk.”
—The sound of noisy conversation tickles my ears.
Pretense of popularity can be felt everywhere.
It wasn’t an environment conducive to a good night’s sleep, but someone kept shaking my shoulder, so my eyes naturally opened.
“Hey Kim Hoyoung. Hey! Wake up. “Because of you, the mood is so broken.”
“… Hmm?”
Minjae Kim was sitting in front of her.
“Why are you here… ?”
“What? This guy is really drunk. “Don’t you remember when the four of us got together for a drink after a long time?”
“Four people… ?”
Looking around, it seems like this is a bar.
An ordinary bar crowded with people chatting noisily with their companions.
Kim Min-jae and Joo Seo-young were sitting across from the table I was sitting at, and Ok Mae-hyang was sipping a glass of alcohol with a sour expression on her side next to me.
… The four people were these four people.
My childhood friends.
After becoming an adult, we didn’t get together much… Why did we meet for a reason?
No, more than that.
I have a strange feeling of anxiety, like I’m missing something very important.
“Haha! Hoyoung Kim Looks like this kid is having a hard time these days. Well, since I’m the only one among us who’s unemployed, I probably won’t be able to survive without drinking. Are you so drunk that you lose your memory no matter how many drinks you have? “I’m so weak on alcohol.”
“Uhm… “I’m unemployed?”
My head hurts.
Was Kim Min-jae really as drunk as he said?
Am I getting drunk and getting a headache?
But what can I say?
I find it outrageous that Kim Min-jae teases me in a tone that seems to ignore me.
No, it’s more than just unpleasant, it even feels like it’s the same.
Why?
I am unemployed, and Minjae is a competent doctor who graduated from medical school abroad and returned… From that guy’s point of view, I probably look pathetic.
But why does a strange sense of superiority well up in my heart?
I think there are more important measures for men than jobs or salaries.
Maybe it’s just a simple sense of inferiority…
“Joy! I’m unemployed too? “Are you telling me to listen?”
Joo Seo-young looked at her cell phone and said coldly.
“No, no. Your case is different. The allowance you receive from your boyfriends is more than the salary of most office workers.”
“What do you know? Don’t be mean to me. “You’re a doctor by profession, but in essence you’re just an idiot.”
“… Sheesh. Even though it’s been a while since we last met, you still don’t feel cheap.”
While listening to the conversation between Kim Min-jae and Joo Seo-young, I strangely became curious about something that did not fit the context at all, so I asked.
“Minjae. “Is your mother okay?”
“Mom? Why mom? Of course, I’m fine.”
“Your mom… “Aren’t you talking about me?”
“What? “What does that mean?”
“No, that’s… No. “I just suddenly remembered Oh Jeong-yeon.”
“Is this crazy? “You’re just calling someone else’s mother’s name?”
Minjae Kim is trying to climb over the table with the momentum to grab him by the collar.
The expression on his face like a goblin that has lost his mind is impressive.
… It was my fault.
I mentioned someone else’s mother’s name carelessly.
I didn’t mean to either.
The lady’s name just naturally came out of her mouth.
If Kim Min-jae got angry and tried to hit me, I would give him at least one hit, but Okmae-hyang protected me by hiding me behind him.
“Calm down, Minjae. “You said it yourself earlier that Hoyoung was drunk.”
“No matter how drunk you are, you have to distinguish between what you can’t say!”
“If you consume more than the permitted amount of alcohol, your brain cannot function normally. An incident that occurred while mentally and physically weak must be taken into account. Even though you’re a doctor, you don’t have that much common sense? Are you sure you got your medical license properly? I also heard that he got kicked out of medical school because of some kind of accident… “
“Well, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? Ah, okay. You can stop, just stop! You too, don’t spread strange rumors.”
It is indeed jade plum fragrance.
I can’t believe he overpowered Kim Min-jae with just three inches of his tongue.
“Ah, I’m so annoyed. I’m so annoyed. When we got together for the first time in a while, one of them was just sleeping and the other was trying to get violent. Hit them all. What is a playhouse? “I can’t hang out with you guys.”
Joo Seo-young got up from her seat in frustration.
My favorite Joo Seo-young… My first love.
But why?
Even when I look at her, I don’t feel any emotion from her.
There was a time when I thought, ‘I wish I could date Seoyoung at least once…’ ‘, But for some reason she seems like a very insignificant and low-level woman.
Just as she was willing to throw away a game she had enjoyed so much, she did not regret whether Joo Seo-young went away or not.
Rather, if I’m not mistaken, Joo Seo-young glanced at me and bit her lip as if she had something to say, and then left without saying anything.
The gathering of childhood friends was ruined like that.
Minjae Kim lost his temper even after leaving her store.
“Oh really… The atmosphere has become so fucking strange because of the unemployed bastard. Next time, let’s meet without Kim Ho-young.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just go. “Give my regards to your mother.”
“Why do you keep taking Kim Ho-young’s side?”
“Just go.”
“Tsk… “
Okmae Hyang kicked out her friend who was telling the truth instead of me.
Of course, Okmaehyang.
A grateful friend who always helps me.
Although she is the same age, she protects me like an older sister or mother.
This time, I am indebted to Maehyang.
When we were left alone, I was the first to express my gratitude.
“Thank you, Maehyang. If it weren’t for you, I would have been embarrassed. Ah, I fell asleep because I was drunk for no reason.”
“No, it’s not your fault. The problem is that Minjae can’t understand the topic and keeps talking nonsense.”
“What? Are you, you, being so vulgar? Honestly, from a doctor’s perspective, being unemployed may seem pathetic.”
“No, not at all. “I’m a little annoyed right now because an insignificant man like Kim Min-jae is picking a fight with Ho-young.”
“… Huh? Why are you so annoyed It’s not like you were criticized.”
“It’s better for me to get criticized.”
Okmaehyang, who was always calm, had a lively face today.
For some reason, it feels like he’s going to chase after Kim Min-jae and dropkick him at any moment.
Well, that’s unlikely.
“Anyway, I’m going to go home and get some sleep. My head keeps hurting. I also have this uneasy feeling, like I’ve forgotten something. “I need to take a deep breath and wake up.”
“Okay, let’s go back home.”
“Huh… Uh? “What?”
Let’s go back—?
Isn’t the way you speak a bit strange?
“Why are you so surprised? “I live at your house.”
Okmae-Hyang spoke without changing her expression as if it were an extremely obvious story.
We live together?
… Did you?
“When I came back from America and said it was difficult because I didn’t have a place to stay, I told you I could take care of you at your house. “You’re not planning on kicking me out now, are you?”
“… Oh, I did… Was it? “I keep losing sight.”
Well, since she was young, Okmaehyang was harassed by her shaman mother, and when she ran away from home, she would always let her sleep at our house.
It’s not that unusual.
Because we are really close friends.
They are almost like real siblings.
My family knows everything about Okmaehyang’s situation, so it would not have been a difficult choice to give up an empty room.
I guess I forgot for a moment.
“Sorry. “I forgot we lived together.”
“You’re a jerk. After all, Hoyoung can’t do anything without me by his side.”
“Not to that extent.”
“But it’s okay. Because I will always be by your side.”
Okmaehyang’s words were not an exaggeration.
When she returned home, the surprising thing she discovered was that not only did she live in the same house, but she lived in my room.
My room was filled with daily necessities with an unfamiliar jade plum scent, and there were two pillows on the bed.
“No way… Are we sleeping together?”
“Why are you freaking out? “It was like that even when I was young.”
“No, that’s really about when we were kids. “You’re a grown adult now.”
“I don’t care? “You don’t want to sleep with me?”
It’s not that I don’t like it.
Even if her mouth breaks, she won’t tell it to herself, but Okmaehyang is quite a pretty girl.
She usually only wore hanbok, but if she dressed up a little, she had celebrity-level potential that would make everyone passing by look back.
As soon as the scent of jade plum entered her room, she suddenly took off her hanbok and changed into her underwear.
It is a see-through blouse that shows through the skin.
This guy looks completely Korean on the outside, but his underwear is a sexy bra and thong with lots of frills.
Also, why are you wearing a see-through blouse?
She looks even sexier than when she’s completely naked, Ms. Ok Maehyang.
“Hey… Still, you’re with me, a man, so why don’t you cover up?”
“Why are you being embarrassed about something like this? Are you tired too? Let’s sleep well today.”
The scent of jade plum went into her bed first and tapped her matrix, enticing her to come in.
I pretended not to be able to win and lay down next to her.
Jade Maehyang’s face lay within a very close range of her.
It’s pretty.
Big, round eyes like beads.
The bridge of the nose with a beoseon-shaped line.
The tip of the nose is pointed.
Lips as shiny as a cherry.
After all, she is a beauty.
I become conscious of my childhood friend’s beauty once again.
But I’m not so insensitive that I ignore the woman lying next to me in bed.
Moreover, Okmaehyang is also looking at my face intently without blinking.
No… It’s a strange story, but it was a look in his eyes that would be more appropriate to say he was “Appreciating” Rather than staring.
As if Jade Maehyang was licking my face up and down much more actively than I was, it was looking at every nook and cranny.
I was embarrassed because I felt like it was some kind of work of art.
“Stop looking at me because it’s embarrassing.”
“Huh… “I’m sorry.”
After scolding her once, the scent of jade plums lowered her eyes.
For some reason, my cheeks are stained red. Is it my imagination?
“Ha… I’m a little tired today because my head is all over the place. “It’ll get better after taking a nap, right?”
“Of course, Hoyoung. Something fun will be waiting for you starting tomorrow. “I’ll guarantee it.”
Okmaehyang continued to pat my butt like a mother comforting her baby.
The touch, filled with so much affection, was so warm and sweet that I quickly fell asleep.
