Chapter 351 – 40. Time to Lie (5)
40. Time to lie (5)
At 9:00 p.M., After the evening with the freshmen, So-dam and Jun-hee, who got out of the drinking party first, got on the bus without saying anything. Until a few months ago, I was in the same position as those who happily pour alcohol into my body at the bar, but now I have reached the age of being called a senior. However, the body and mind are still no different from that of a child, but it feels awkward to call them younger siblings and juniors.
Junhee and Sodam became a little closer than before and a little more awkward. Although our hearts were much more connected, there was a subtle air between the two that I couldn’t shake off easily even if I knew that the other liked me and I liked the other. Well, considering what the two of them went through last time, it was understandable, so apart from the awkward atmosphere, the urge to do something to the other person occupied their hearts.
The urge that he had never felt before, never even imagined, was a little weaker for Junhee and a little stronger for Sodam. However, although the two would not admit it, something close to a kind of homosexual tendency had clearly existed in them from the past. So-dam did not know what it was, and Jun-hee unconsciously pretended not to know it even though she sensed it in her friend’s gaze, like a drop of water hanging from a thread.
Even now, when they realized that feeling that could be a little uncomfortable, the two of them didn’t want to admit it, but they didn’t think it was bad inside. Think of your opponent. He was the alter ego and half that he had always relied on for a long time, and he was the one with whom he always shared every emotion and experience. The compatibility of personality and taste was flawless, and even if you look at these internal things, there were few people with as good conditions as the other person. Anyway, she is a person who can be proud of as ‘the most beautiful woman in the province’, in a clichéd expression, what would be lacking?
Still, it was unreasonable to express this new feeling outside of the body, so the two tried to live the same as usual, pretending not to know each other. In the first place, the homosexual feelings towards the other person were not so great as the level of interest, so there was no need to express them. However, after drinking alcohol, the two of them are reminded of what they did, and when they are conscious of it, their faces turn red little by little. I could have evaded it because I was drunk, but strangely, I feel like the other person noticed my feelings.
Arriving at their destination without saying anything, the two get off the bus and a familiar face greets them. Jessica came to pick me up because I was supposed to have a second round at your house after some time with her freshmen.
“Yo~ Are the Sunbaims here!?”
“Yeah~ Our statue~ You must have seen the drinking party~?”
Jessica and So-dam laugh at each other. Seeing them giggling and joking around right away, Junhee smiled without realizing it. Without Jessica’s existence, what kind of daily life would they have been living? Although he is a very unique and extraordinary person, he has had a great impact on the lives of ordinary Koreans without realizing it. Maybe they were thinking this because they were drunk, but it was true that this blond foreigner had become a big part of their daily lives.
“No matter. I have all the beauties ready.”
“Ahahaha. What kind of concept is that?”
Even Junhee couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. Likewise, Jessica, who came between So-dam and Jun-hee with a smile and put her chin on their shoulders, kissed them on the cheek.
“Here, here are my beauties~ They are flowers in both hands~”
“Wow, look at the way you talk. They didn’t adapt to Korea, they adapted to Joseon.”
“Aren’t you drunk already?”
Three female college students giggling and laughing. Even though it was a dark night, the surroundings of the three of them seemed bright and bright because of their beauty. Since there weren’t many people around anyway, the three of them walked towards Jessica’s house like a high official on a tour.
“Cheers~”
Four wine glasses colliding in the air. William, the owner of the house, was away on a business trip, so three female college students and an international student were enjoying a drink in the living room. Sodam and Kieran acted like normal friends without revealing that they had a relationship of any kind, and Junhee and Jessica didn’t notice it at all.
The large TV on the wall was connected to OTT and a sitcom drama was continuously playing, but no one was watching it properly. The three talked in a mixture of English and Korean, sometimes completely and sometimes imperfectly. Jessica’s Korean skills were also amazing, but Kieran’s was literally the first day of the month, so if everyone did their best, there was no communication difficulty.
“But Americans really eat pizza often. Pizza today, pizza~”
“Oh! Didn’t like the pizza? Would you have ordered something else?”
“No, rather good. Korean pizza is very expensive. If you can eat with Jessica’s money, thank you!”
“That’s right. In my family, my grandfather doesn’t like pizza, so we don’t eat it often…”
Joon-hee’s taste is bitter because she thought of her grandfather while trying to agree with So-dam’s words. I wanted to avoid talking about him as much as possible, but no one asked, but I took it out on my own, so I felt uncomfortable. Junhee poured the remaining alcohol in the glass into her mouth at once to erase that bitter taste.
“By the way, Junhee, how many people are in your family? I don’t know anything about my family.”
Now, the four of you have spoken perfectly. Since they are young, they didn’t care about each other’s age difference and felt more comfortable when they adopted the American style. Junhee answered while looking at Jessica.
“We are grandfather, mother, me, and brother. Daddy left a long time ago.”
“Ah.. Sorry. Sorry.”
“No no. I didn’t know.”
“Here~ Jessica, if you’re sorry, drink~”
As Sodam tries to lighten the mood, she fills Jessica’s glass with alcohol. Then, she pours even Junhee’s glass, and she shouts while holding a pizza in one hand and a glass in the other.
“I wish you well in the new semester~”
“Please take good care of me~”
Strangely, alcohol flows into each of their mouths with a toast like an uncle. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol that eats away at the brain. The four of them enjoyed the deepening night as they continued to feel better without injecting themselves.
Surprisingly, Kieran escaped to the room first, perhaps because he was weak against alcohol. No, because he couldn’t walk properly, he was able to lie on the bed with Sodam and Jessica’s support.
The youngest male is laid down in the sanctuary, and the remaining three females tilt their glasses again. Junhee was also very weak in alcohol, but her drinking increased a little and because of the consideration of the others, she only drank low-alcohol alcohol little by little, so she was able to endure it. On the other hand, Sodam seemed to have exceeded the proper amount of alcohol, but continued to drink without losing, and Jessica indulged in pizza and alcohol endlessly as if proving that she was different from the physical.
“Come to think of it, I don’t know much about Jessica either.”
Junhee took a bite of the pizza and mumbled.
“Jessica is popular!?”
“Ah~ Soin isn’t popular~”
“Puhahahaha! Oh really. Stop that! You spit it all out!”
Sodam blames her as she roughly wipes the alcohol off her floor and her clothes with her sleeve. She slaps Jessica’s white forearm, and the sound of her swatting echoes through the living room.
“Jessica is like a comedian.”
“YouTuber, YouTuber! If you do YouTube, you will make a lot of money.”
“In our hometown, we eat this kind of drip for breakfast and eat it for dinner.”
“Ahaha! It’s crazy! It’s a drip when you open your mouth!”
This time, even Junhee almost spewed out the pizza he was chewing. Holding onto her stomach, watching her shed tears while laughing, both Jessica and Sodam laughed out of their minds.
Junhee was so happy during this time. It was so nice to have fun with fun and good friends who are ordinary college students. People I love Friends who make her forget all the complicated and shady recent events that dominated her body and mind. Of course, Sodam was not a third party, but an official, but in this union with Jessica, they were all common female college students everywhere.
The three of them gathered at Jessica’s house chatted and played so much that it seemed that nothing could stop the women’s chatter, but their stamina was limited and there was nothing to stop the rush of alcohol, so the atmosphere gradually became disquieting. Organize the leftovers, put them in the refrigerator, put the trash in the trash, and wash the dishes in the dishwasher. Some wiped the floor hard with wet wipes, while others washed their faces in the bathroom. After contacting the house for a long time, Junhee and Sodam decided to sleep in the living room of this house today.
Jessica, who has brought out a bunch of blankets from somewhere, spreads a mattress in her living room. She wanted to sleep here too, but since she was living alone in William’s house, she only had one mattress and several blankets. When Jessica enters her room, leaving a well-gone greeting as if expressing regret, Jun-hee and So-dam also lie down on pillows. How long has it been since you two spent a night like this together? I feel as if I have been on a school trip, and I feel the rush of soma withdrawing again.
