[Year-Round] Yogurt Lady 24

Chapter 24 – Episodes 3-7

Afternoon. The rain was still falling. It was quite inside the pension.

Everyone was sitting in various places in the living room on the first floor, but not a word was said. We looked at each other’s cell phones as if we were meeting each other for the first time in the terminal waiting room. There was no sound other than the sound of rain.

Jiing- Sohee’s cell phone vibrated. It was a text message from Mijeong.

[Kang So-hee, where did you go earlier?]

[I went for a walk with Junwoo. On the way, I met Youngho and had a chat. Why?]

[What kind of walk in the rain? I’m sure your kids will notice that you’re dating Junwoo. Please exercise restraint here-]

[Is it? Hoho~ Okay^^]

Sohee made eye contact with Mijeong and smiled.

This time, Hyuncheol sent a text message to Junwoo.

[Hey, you seem to be very similar to your mom. Seong-ah and your mother will catch it.]

[Did you? Sorry]

[I guess you didn’t do anything strange by coming here?]

[Of course not~]

[I would believe that, but be careful anyway.]

[Yes.]

After replying to Hyeoncheol’s text, Junwoo turned his attention to Youngho.

Jiing- Youngho’s cell phone rang.

[Heo Young-ho. What did you talk about with the lady?]

[We negotiated on Hyuncheol’s issue. You should take out my yogurt later. Hehe~]

Junwoo’s heart sank.

[Negotiation? You know that person is Hyuncheol’s mother, right?! After making a foolish move, Hyeon-cheol falls behind.]

[What if you did it too? Are you the only one taking revenge?]

[It’s not like revenge~ I’ll explain everything later.]

[Why should I explain later? Do you don’t want to fuck around with me? I know that woman is a slut anyway, so what-]

This fucking bastard…! Heat rose up from Junwoo’s chest.

Junwoo seriously wondered if it would be better to reveal his relationship with Sohee now. However, the situation after Mijung found out was not expected to be very positive.

Junwoo quickly sent a text message to Sohee.

[Sohee, what did you talk about with Youngho earlier? Tell me honestly!]

[I heard there wasn’t much to say, so why?]

I was so frustrated that I was going crazy.

[No matter what trick Youngho tries, you must never ignore it. Understand? Of course, I trust Sohee, but I’m just saying this just in case.]

[I’ll be careful…]

What on earth are you answering like that?!

Then, Seongah’s cell phone rang. It was a text message from Sohee.

[Goseong, what did you do with Junwoo yesterday?]

[We just walked and talked. Why are you asking such a question via text message?]

[Just answer the question. Walking and talking, what else did you do?]

[I also had a drink.]

[And?]

[I also ate snacks.]

[Don’t joke around and answer straight.]

[What are you curious about? Ask the right questions.]

[Did anything else happen?]

[Why? Maybe we suddenly fell in love with each other and called it sex?]

Sohee’s fingers didn’t move when she tried to write a reply.

[Mom, things have gotten really weird since I started dating him. I can’t do this, mom, break up with him.]

[Break up, what do you mean?]

[It’s just a joke. It’s because mom keeps saying strange things.]

Seongah rolled around on her floor and hummed to herself. Sohee sighed inwardly.

Sohee’s cell phone rang again. It was Yeongho.

[Ma’am, have you thought about what I said earlier? You must think carefully about your son’s future.]

[But, you know that what Youngho is doing now is not an honorable threat at all, right?]

[Considering what I did to Hyuncheol, I don’t feel very proud.]

[I get scared when the lady gets angry. I recommend stopping at this point.]

[I don’t think you’re doing the math well yet, but I’ll give you more time to think about it. I will text you again later.]

Why is this bastard so fussy? Sohee gritted her teeth, but her eyes kept turning to Junwoo and Seongah, not Youngho.

“It’s surprisingly quiet. “What are you all doing?”

Mijeong suddenly asked everyone.

“Just talk to a friend…”

“Please tell me the weather forecast when the sun will clear…”

“Please search for restaurants nearby…”

“Stock market conditions…”

Everyone answered in confusion.

“Let’s do something together and have fun. “I came here to have fun, but it’s such a waste, isn’t it?”

After hearing Mi-jeong’s words, Hyeon-cheol looked around the pension and found the Bru Marble game on a table in the corner. I brought it to the center of the living room and opened the box.

“There are board games. Would you like to try it?”

“Brumable? It’s been such a long time. It’ll be fun.”

Mijeong came to Hyeoncheol’s side, dragging her butt on the floor.

Junwoo also came and sat down and made a suggestion.

“It’s not fun to just do it, so I’ll give it a title. Last place gets first place’s wish. How do you feel?”

“I agree.”

As soon as Junwoo finished speaking, Seongah raised her hand.

“I agree too.”

Sohee and Youngho also expressed their approval at the same time.

Mijeong looked bewildered by the unexpected suggestions and reactions.

“It’s just that first and second place prepare dinner at the end. “Isn’t it a bit burdensome to grant a wish?”

“No, not at all~”

Except for Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol, everyone opposed it like a chorus.

“Is it because of the rain? People seem to be getting more and more strange. Isn’t that right, Hyuncheol?”

“Some people are weird to begin with, but that’s the way it is.”

By majority vote, Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol had no choice but to accept. A board game for 6 people whose wishes are granted has begun.

Six pieces were placed at the starting point on the game board. Mijeong, who picked the highest number by rolling the dice, started first.

“Okay then, let’s leave first~”

The dice that Mijeong threw rolled and fell to the bottom of the game board.

“Pleasure! Pleasure! This is invalid! And go to a desert island!”

“That’s right! “Pay 1 million won and get a desert island!”

“Why is Nak an uninhabited island? And why do I pay? Just throw it back.”

The six of us put our heads together and read the game manual carefully. It took over 10 minutes just to re-learn and agree on the rules.

The game started again with difficulty. Everyone was desperate except for Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol.

It took several turns, but everyone secured similar land and money, with no clear strength or weakness.

“Seoul is the key. Whoever eats Seoul wins. I can do it because I’m at S University!”

Seong-ah’s eyes, which were already crazy, were now truly crazy.

“Sohee, why are you so obsessed with Istanbul and Athens?”

“I’m the yogurt lady. “To receive the energy of yogurt in Türkiye and Greece.”

Mi-jeong couldn’t understand So-hee, but So-hee really wanted to receive energy from the yogurt. I was also out of my mind.

“Who keeps touching bank money?!”

“When will I?”

“I’ve been watching everything since a while ago. “If I cheat one more time, I’ll lose all my hair?!”

Junwoo grabbed Youngho’s wrist and broke it. The two glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other.

The Brumarble game where wishes were granted was no longer a game but a bloody war. No compromise was made just for the sake of victory.

Junwoo’s words were caught in the golden key compartment.

‘Preferential rights… Please preferential rights!’

Junwoo swallowed his saliva and solemnly turned over the card. However, on the back of the golden key card, it was written as follows.

Talent Show – Show off your talent in front of everyone. The remaining people must make their own decisions and pay their prize money from the bank.

“Whew~ I don’t really want to brag, but I can’t help it. “I never thought I would reveal my organs like this.”

Junwoo stood up and took a step back. He bowed his head and stood still with his hands clasped in front of his head.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, he started touching his wrists, ankles, knees, and shoulders.

Dream! Dream! Bboomchi Bboomchi Bboomchi Bboomchi-

The beat that no one could hear was heard only in Junwoo’s ears.

“What is he doing now?”

“Shouldn’t we stop it?”

“Wait for a sec. “I want to see more of that expression.”

Junwoo did his best to do the poppin dance, but to others, he looked like a person with a bug on his back trying to get rid of it.

“Heo-eok. Heo-eok.”

It’s a bit hard to call it a dance, but after completing some kind of body movement, Junwoo stared into space, intoxicated by his own coolness. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

“That’s it. Good job.”

Mi-jeong threw 10,000 won of bank money in front of Jun-woo.

“What is this?”

“Originally, I had to pay for bread, but I took care of it because I’m a mother. “Put it away.”

I gave the rest to Junwoo, 1,000 won each.

“Ew.”

While the fierce battle continued, Mjeong was the first to go bankrupt. Junwoo, Sohee, Seongah, and Youngho were all disappointed.

Then the rest went bankrupt one after another. Hyuncheol, who took control of the last line that included Seoul, New York, and London, became the winner.

“I won, but it’s a wish. What wish do I wish for Junwoo’s mother?”

Mi-jeong told Hyeon-cheol, who was embarrassed, that it was okay.

“I just do whatever I want. Should I pick at least one song?”

“I don’t want to listen to the song… No, that’s not true. Then, please make dinner delicious tonight.”

“Ugh!”

“Haha. I’m a little sorry. “I will help.”

Jun-woo, who was listening to the conversation between Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol, spoke in a low voice.

“Then, Mom and Hyeoncheol, let’s stop here and prepare dinner.”

“Why does his voice sound like that? Are you going to do more?”

Junwoo ignored Mijeong’s words and rolled two dice in his hands.

“Now, let’s have some fun with the players.”

“Okay.”

Sohee, Seongah, and Youngho nodded.

“Okay, I’ll call you when the meal is ready. Until then, I’m still doing it.”

Mijeong and Hyeoncheol started preparing a meal in the kitchen.

The second game started in the middle of the living room.

In the beginning, Junwoo took the lead by quickly purchasing a lot of land. However, the rate of return was not high due to the lack of buildings.

Sohee, who lived in Istanbul and Athens, used up all the money that Junwoo had saved up. After all, yogurt power! When she shouted, everyone looked at her with blank expressions, but Sohee didn’t even care.

Youngho devoted himself to the classic strategy of whoever occupies the last line dominates the game. Every time he got close to the last line, he held the dice low and played like a dumbass, and thanks to the use of his space travel rights, he was able to take control of Seoul, Tokyo, and Paris.

Seongah shuffled her Golden Key cards before the game, hiding a few up her sleeve. When she was caught in the golden key compartment, the card Seong-ah drew was paying the electricity bill, but with quick movements, she took out her preferential ticket.

“Puhahaha~ I’m lucky as expected.”

When Yeong-ho got caught in her golden key compartment, Seong-ah said she would pick it up and quickly exchanged it for her half-price sale card.

“Ugh~! It’s ruined.!”

Youngho lowered his head and cupped his face.

The game progressed to a point where it was impossible to predict the future.

The towers that Yeongho had painstakingly built began to collapse one by one. Sohee came to her senses and started buying other lands, while Seongah continued to take advantage of her preferential rights. Junwoo, who had secured a lot of land in the beginning, gradually expanded his influence and began to dominate the game.

In the end, Youngho was caught on Junwoo’s land where he had built a lot of buildings, and he was the first to go bankrupt. Then, Sohee and Seongah went bankrupt.

“Hurrah~!!”

Junwoo jumped up and down and celebrated his victory. When we did the popping dance we did earlier, everyone covered their eyes for a moment.

It’s time for first place Junwoo to make a wish to last place Yeongho.

“Well then, shall we make a wish?”

Gulp, Youngho looked up at Junwoo, very nervous.

“Hmm~ That’s my wish for Youngho.”

Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol, who were listening, snorted, wondering what kind of wish-granting game they were making such a fuss about.

However, Mi-jeong and Hyeon-cheol, surprised by Jun-woo’s wish, looked back together.

“Youngho, pack your bags and go to Seoul right now.”

Sohee and Seongah were equally surprised.

Youngho glared at Junwoo with a distorted face.

Mijeong ran out of her kitchen and stopped Junwoo.

“Junwoo, I don’t think you understand the game very well, but I’m not making that wish. Why is Youngho going home?”

“A game is a game! Rules are rules! A wish is in the heart of the person who makes it!”

“Is he crazy? Why is this happening all of a sudden? It’s raining outside.”

Youngho stood up next to me without a word and gathered his luggage.

“Youngho, don’t do that, just sit down. “What happened to you two?”

Despite Mi-jeong’s dissuasion, Young-ho silently went to the entrance and put on his shoes.

Everyone looked puzzled. Sohee was the only one who didn’t show any emotion on her face.

As Youngho left the pension, Junwoo sent a text message to Youngho.

[Youngho, I’m really sorry. I didn’t think I could talk to you right now, so I decided to send it to you. I’ll explain everything next time. Then you will definitely understand why I did that.]

The reply arrived right away.

[Fuck you, you bastard. You’re not even friends anymore. Just wait and see, you will definitely regret what happened today.]

Phew – Junwoo let out a heavy sigh.
