chapter 14
#14. That would have been nice That.
Obviously I thought I should talk a little more today.
It is her physiology that her body hardens as soon as she sees her.
She greeted her with her awkward tone of voice.
“Ah… hello? Yena.”
“Uh. Hi. So why don’t you open the door and come in?”
She speaks like she’s doing something.
“Oh. Yes.”
We opened the door and went into the poor room.
The size of the room was not that narrow, but there were still about 10 people, so it felt crowded.
“Oh! I’m here! Freshmen!”
The futon seat. Oh Tae-soo, the head of Deforme, crawled out of the blanket without fail.
“Sleep. Say hello There are two new students who came in this time!”
He was a very proud manager.
“Wow, isn’t that our nephew? Tae-soo’s brother?”
A female student presumed to be a senior asked her manager excitedly.
“That’s right!”
He was a long-haired manager with a very bright smile.
…These people. How sincere were you to the new member?
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, but it didn’t look like they were doing anything publicity.
It seemed strange that they liked it so much.
“Come on! Ruler! It’s a happy day, so let’s all go have a drink!”
The club members were full of people who didn’t seem motivated overall.
Someone who just looks at the cell phone or not.
A person sitting on a chair and sleeping.
A person who is looking at us with blank eyes.
At least, seeing that there are no faces I know, it was said that they were not enough people to hang out in the hunter industry.
“No! These people! Wake up! A little!”
At that moment, the zombie-like members began to move.
I said that I wanted a slow life, but this was almost at a level that was almost stationary.
I thought that the manager was also a lazy person, but seeing the members, it was an urgent time for a reevaluation.
* *
Wasn’t the manager a flute player in a previous life?
He succeeded in leading the sobbing members to the carriage in front of the school.
In my previous life, there were a lot of people around me who were armed with diligence and sincerity, so I really couldn’t get used to it.
A total of 4 people were seated at our table.
I. Yena. Director. And there was one female senior who cheered for the freshman earlier.
“Are you all drinking?”
It was a message that contained the heart of a senior who wanted to teach alcohol for the first time.
The manager. If I drank soju than the manager, I wouldn’t have drank one more truck.
“Ah~ I still drink a little.”
“Hey~ I chose a good person! It’s also Inwook!”
For a moment, I felt as if I had entered this club through a lot of competitors.
Actually, it’s just one Jena who has been recruited. I was the only person who came to the extreme Asa club. That’s all.
“Take a drink!”
Hearing his words, I held out a soju glass with both hands.
“Thank you!”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how small a club is, a senior is a senior.
I didn’t mean to be rude.
“Jenna. You get a drink too.”
“I have a part-time job tomorrow.”
With a fresh expression on her face, Jena said to her manager.
“But just drink a few glasses. I wondered if it would happen once a year that so many children come out.”
“It really is!”
A senior woman sitting next to the manager helped.
“Nice to meet you~ I am a sophomore! My name is Yeji Kim! Easy Yeji unnie! Call me Yeji noona!”
I didn’t quite understand why I was here with this kind of affinity.
“Yes!”
“Come on, then everyone, put your glasses on!”
The manager got up from his seat and raised his glass high.
“Come on! For the bright future of our Deforme!”
“For the sake of it~”
Wow! This feeling that even the back sole is sagging.
It was clear that it was not an easy club.
This is what I felt during the drinking party.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No one was interested in us except for the two in front of me.
Aren’t you usually curious about the names of new students or pouring them a drink?
“Senior. I have a question.”
I asked the manager.
“The… What is our activity cycle?”
The old man, who was chewing on peanuts as a snack, seemed to be worried for a moment.
“Um, so. That’s our Deforme. Inwook-ah. Once a week.”
I wondered how drunk he was, the older sister Yeji who was next to him hit the manager in the back.
“Aigoo, you yangban! Again, you say something you don’t mean.”
If it’s once a week, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a problem in terms of content, right?
“Inwook-ah. This sister too. Did you come here because you were caught by this brother?”
Of course. He was an excessively normal senior to be caught in between.
“I’ll tell you. We don’t have any regular activities.”
“Then how does it work?”
“It’s just that you pay off poor performance and club application fees, and draw a monster picture one at a time and bring it out when you submit the results.”
I already knew that it was a fun club, but it’s more serious than I imagined.
“I’m more surprised that you guys came in.”
It was the eyes of a senior, as if observing animals in a zoo.
“Can you tell me why you came in one by one?”
It was a traditional question for new recruits, and I had no intention of hiding it.
“I came here because I liked the atmosphere of this club!”
I was serious, but her expression looked shaky.
“…This place? Atmosphere?”
Suddenly she burst into laughter.
“Fu ha ha ha. Hey Inwook-ah. You will have a good social life Later, when this older sister starts her life as a hunter, she will definitely scout!”
When I hear that, I want to laugh the same way.
“Is that Jena? How did Jena come in? With that level of drawing skill, I think she would have made a name for herself even if she just joined the biggest art club.”
I was curious about that too.
I still can’t forget the horror I felt when I first saw the monster picture drawn in the room.
She thought that she would make a big success even if she was a painter and not a hunter.
“I’m… a monster… I’m… standing.”
It was a small voice that I couldn’t even hear right next to me.
“What?”
Of course, the seniors couldn’t hear it either.
“The monster is …Standing!”
It seemed to be heard more clearly than before, but it was still mumbled so I couldn’t hear it properly.
“Really. Sorry. Once again.”
Her senior asked her once more with her face that she was sorry.
“…I love monster paintings!”
Is it because I spoke so loudly?
The attention around us was focused on us.
That’s it too… You said you came in because you really like monster drawings…?
When I saw her face that was dyed bright red, it didn’t seem like a lie.
She, too, embarrassed by what she had said, shook her head, took her glass, and poured her soju into her mouth.
“Awesome~”
Jenna put a glass on the table, and suggested drinks to the people at our table.
“The progress seems to be slow, would you like to drink more?”
…If you’re going to a part-time job. You.
She had been reluctant to drink her alcohol until a while ago, but suddenly she started to open her glass.
You seem to be pretending to be strong, but I knew.
The fact that Jena’s drinking amount is limited to half a bottle of soju.
If I drink more than this, I think I’ll reach the lethal dose…
I started to worry about her as her face slowly turned red.
“Hey~ Yena, you’re lazy! Stupid!”
Since there was no data on Jena’s drinking, the manager just clapped her hands and urged her to drink more.
The senior was also passive, but she encouraged Jena to start drinking actively.
“Kya~ I’m drunk~ Choi In-wook! You drink too, man!”
Jena poured her soju to the point that my glass overflowed.
Looking at it already slightly overflowing. It was clear that she was already very drunk.
“Stop drinking. Choi Yena.”
I spoke to her in her serious tone.
“Who are you? Do you drink?”
She was a stubborn woman.
Knowing that Jena’s film would break if she drank more, I grabbed hers instead of mine.
I poured soju into my mouth, which had already been poured, and drank the alcohol in my glass one after another with a sigh.
“What is it? You.”
Jena looked at me with a tone that she didn’t like.
“Let’s go.”
I grabbed her wrist.
“I’m not going.”
The seniors looked at my actions to drag Jena out like an audience watching popcorn at the cinema.
“When you are young. That’s right. Brother.”
“Wow. I had a time like that.”
“Eh~ You’re sitting there laughing~ Don’t try to edit your forced memories.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter what we were talking about, they started giggling.
“I have to go part-time tomorrow.”
When I talked to Jena, she seemed to have just figured it out. Without hesitation, she bit her mouth tightly.
“I’ll take care of it.”
“I’ll take you.”
“…I don’t need it.”
Dr.
Jena staggered slightly and stood up from her seat.
“Seniors. I’ll go first because of my part-time job tomorrow. Thank you so much for today.”
After the seniors nodded their heads and told them to enter carefully, they started drinking again.
As soon as Jena left her carriage, she got up from me.
“Fighting! Inwook-ah!”
“Good luck!”
I knew in what sense they were cheering for me, but I was still worried about Jena, so I said hello and went out.
Which way did you go…
I looked around her street from side to side and found her leaning her body on her electric pole in the distance not far from her.
“Are you okay?”
I stopped right next to Jena and asked.
“I told you to turn it off.”
“…Because I think I’m drunk. I’ll take care of you today.”
I lifted her shoulders and supported her without her permission.
She didn’t push me away by force, either because she didn’t like my touch.
“…Hey. Choi In-wook.”
While walking in the direction she told me without a word. She spoke to me first.
“What did you do after the academy yesterday?”
After yesterday’s academy…
It was all about going to a cafe with Harin and talking…
“…We discussed future activities with Fair.”
“Yes?”
Jenna was silent for a while.
“It must have been good. It.”
It was her tone that looked somewhat lonely.
“It’s all over now. You should go home.”
She removed my arm and fell from me.
“…Thank you. Choi In-wook.”
For the first time, it was her tone of voice that didn’t stand up.
The bus finally arrived. She boarded the bus saying she was going.
I just watched the bus moving away from the spot.
