<Episode 18> Alcohol 1

next Monday.

As I entered the classroom, I could feel some people looking at me.

They don’t greet each other, but give them a glance and then go on to their respective tasks. Some of the dogs seemed to be whispering to each other.

Is it because of the skills of the hairdresser’s sister, who even received an award? It was difficult for me to adapt, as I had boasted of a presence that was less than a classroom background.

He moved his body and sat in the back seat as usual. As soon as I sit down, I unfold my laptop and press the power button.

“Senior, hello!”

Today, Sohye, who was sitting next to me, greeted me as if she was waiting.

Very lively from Monday. It was a tension that was difficult to understand for me, who was worried about dropping out every Monday because going to school was bothersome.

“Ugh. hi.”

When I returned the rough answer, Sohye came one step closer to me. When I turned around to see why I was here, Sohye asked with her big eyes wide open.

“Is your impression changed a lot?”

Has it changed noticeably enough to sound like that?

It is shameful to have my hair cut and to give explanations with my own mouth. Aren’t you asking all about it anyway? I decided to pretend not to know.

“okay?”

“yes. A lot. It makes me wonder if he even had plastic surgery over the weekend.”

“If I did, the swelling would not have gone down yet.”

“Ahaha. Yes.”

So-hye, who threw a pointless nonsense, covered her mouth and smiled a little.

“Did you cut your hair?”

“okay.”

“For seniors, the ponytail was a kind of identity, but I was surprised that it disappeared.”

Unbeknownst to me, my identity has been hacked to pieces with scissors.

She turned her face completely to face Sohye. Sohye was looking up at me with her chin clenched.

“Look. As I said?”

“What did you say?”

“Senior said he was good-looking, so he had to show it to him.”

“So I answered. I don’t think so.”

“Ahaha. Senior too.”

It’s like you’re not joking. I’m not kidding.

“By the way, did you submit the group assignments?”

“I submitted it last night. Yoo Si-eun even did the final review, so there won’t be any mistakes.”

“What if there is an additional notice in the middle?”

“Well, if the notice is posted before the deadline, I’ll have to make some corrections. Then I will fix it and submit it.”

“I’m glad I have reliable seniors.”

Sohye smiled and added a word.

“Shall we drink alcohol in that sense?”

“What?”

I don’t know what that means. What was the reason for talking about alcohol in the conversation you just had?

That’s not my thing, the answer I had to give was clear.

“Nope.”

“yes? why?”

“It’s annoying.”

After saying these words, she turned her head, and Sohye next to her spoke in a shriveled tone.

“senior. Where did the camaraderie as a backseater go?”

“I don’t even remember having that kind of camaraderie… … .”

Wasn’t it just that I felt a sense of unity on my own? I didn’t even know it existed until I spoke to you.

However, Sohye did not give up and continued to grumble.

“Since the group assignment is over, I think it would be good if the three of us had a drink~”

“The score didn’t come out, it’s all I submitted.”

“Still, we all made a zero tea. Let’s have a drink to commemorate.”

For some reason, Sohye seemed to want to have a drink with the three of them.

Is it common for juniors to ask seniors for drinks? I don’t know because I don’t know anyone in my classmates, let alone my juniors.

However, one thing was clear.

“you… … What should I say? They seem to be very friendly.”

“Ahaha. Right. I also have a lot of friends.”

“I can see why. I think you can understand why they don’t take the same class as you.”

“What do you mean, senpai?”

He looks at me with a frown. It had a resentful face, but it wasn’t scary at all. I decided to leave it to you to figure out what it meant.

“Anyway, I’m done. It won’t be of any use. I’ve never been to a drinking party, so I don’t know if it’s a drinking game or what.”

“yes? Do you hate alcohol?”

“I don’t like it and I don’t like it. I drank it when I was a freshman, so I guess I’m not the type of person who doesn’t like to get drunk. If you drink a lot, you get drunk.”

“What happens when you get drunk?”

“Sleep on that spot.”

“I have a drinking habit like a senior.”

Maybe it’s more like you than me.

When she snorted, Sohye immediately put on an expression that she did not understand English.

“If you don’t like alcohol. Why didn’t you go to a drinking party?”

“Why? It’s because I don’t know anyone, so I can’t get invitations.”

You’re finally making me say this with my mouth.

Thinking like that, Sohye smiled brightly.

“Then there is no reason not to go unless you are invited, right?”

“no. Because it bothers me.”

“Even if a colleague in the back seat invites you?”

Finally, back to the first story. It was literally an infinite loop. It’s a conversation that takes your breath away.

Well, even though I say things like this, I want to be cruel to keep saying no.

Without Sohye, I might have been able to complete this task alone. There was a high possibility that the black history of saying that he had no friends in front of the professor was renewed. Of course, there was a way to do homework with Si-eun, but… … .

I cross my arms and speak out.

“It wouldn’t be fun if I went. it’s okay?”

“sure.”

With a smile, Sohye replied.

I don’t care if it’s not fun, what else can I do? Because of Sohye, my black history has decreased by one. It would be okay if I listened to you at least once.

“okay.”

Upon accepting the offer, Sohye pushed her upper body and said, “Really?” I asked. Although the body is small, each gesture is large, reminiscent of a young puppy.

“okay.”

“like. Then I can only get permission from Si-eun-senpai.”

“Ah, I’ll ask that.”

With those words, I pulled out my cell phone.

Si-eun is sitting in the front seat now. You can go to the front seat and talk to them, but it would be better to hide the appearance of being with Si-eun as much as possible. Besides, it is cumbersome to move around.

When I turned on KakaoTalk, a list of few friends was displayed. In it, I touched the name ‘Yoo Si-eun’.

[Do you have time tonight?]

I sent a message and raised my face. In front of me, I see Si-eun holding her phone on the desk. Si-eun, who seemed to immediately check the screen, tilted her head and moved her finger.

Then my cell phone rang.

[It happens. why?]

Are there no promises?

Except for Hagiya student council events, Si-eun has been at home since the evening. I can’t even go out and play on the weekend. I’m not the type of person who likes to go out for drinks.

[Can we drink together tonight?]

After writing this down, I clicked the send button.

After checking the message, Si-eun brought the screen up to her face and stayed silent for a while.

[The two of us?]

I sent this reply

Well, I forgot an important part.

[no. The three of us together as a group assignment. He asked me to have a drink with him. I’m asking if it’s okay.]

Si-eun, who checked the message, did not reply for a while. After a while,

[That’s it.]

Message came back.

After a while, the phone rings again.

[I don’t have an appointment. I don’t really like alcohol.]

[I don’t like it either.]

[Then why are you going?]

[Han So-hye asked me to go.]

When we get there, Si-eun turns her back and looks at us.

I faced Si-eun in an expressionless state. On the other hand, So-hye smiled and waved her hand at Si-eun.

Si-eun turned her body forward again.

[If I don’t go, will you go together?]

[Okay.]

I didn’t think of that.

“What if Yoo Si-eun says she won’t go?”

When asked quietly, Sohye smiled bitterly.

“Oh, I can’t do that. I have seniors… … .”

Sohye, who had been spitting up to that point, suddenly turned around.

“not. I think we can drink together.”

“Well.”

Did you change your mind while talking? For me, drinking with two or with three is one thing that bothers me. I decided to pass on Sohye’s opinion.

[When I asked, he said that the two of us should have a drink.]

[Then I will go.]

It was an immediate answer.

Well, is this the same logic as last time? You never know what’s going to happen when a man and a woman drink together. If you have a girlfriend, you will be fired from the housekeeper, so you have to prevent it in advance. It’s roughly what you think

Either way, Si-eun seemed willing to go. I put down my phone and reported the results to Sohye.

“I see.”

“Fufufu. like.”

When Si-eun gave Si-eun’s answer instead, So-hye clasped her palms together and rejoiced.

“So good?”

“Ahaha. sure. Actually, there is something I noticed while doing the group assignment this time. So there was something I wanted to ask you. I think this will be a great opportunity.”

“Well.”

I don’t know what she sensed, but Sohye seems to have a plan. Besides, he seemed to have something he wanted to ask. I wonder if I should even have a drink and ask. Well, wouldn’t it be strange to say that it’s a simultaneity?

Just when that thought occurred to me, the professor entered the classroom.

After all, it’s just the two of us who smoke the whole time in class, but we can’t talk openly. Sohye said, “I’ll see you at night then.” and returned to his seat.

I also do coding.

With that in mind, I turned my attention to the laptop, and saw a message on the phone screen.

I checked who it was, and the owner of the message was Si-eun. I think I’ve sent a few more messages since my previous reply.

Touch to read.

[I am referring to it.]

[I’m weak to alcohol.]

[Know it.]

He seems very worried. How weak does alcohol make all the sound of sickness?

I wouldn’t drink enough to get drunk. So-hye is younger than us, so I can’t force her. In my case, instead of recommending a drink, I might go home sooner or later.

Still, it would be better to relieve your worries.

[It will be fine. You’ll come back with me anyway.]

Would it be a little reassuring to send it like this? Even if Si-eun gets drunk and stumbles, she can get in a taxi and come back with her. Living in the same house was only useful at this time.

I used my finger to send a message, and a reply arrived soon after.

What came back was not the text, but an emoticon in which a rabbit-like character swung its body from side to side.

I’m not the type to use these emojis. When I think of Si-eun at home, I feel a little different. After a light laugh, I put my phone down.
