Chapter 60: Drunkenness

Chapter 60: Drunkenness

Ah, ahoo.

Seo Yerins voice trembled so much that she hit a wrong note. Her face turned red with embarrassment, but it seemed like the audience in front of her took it well.

Seeing that there wasnt much commotion, she thought so.

Actually, there were people who shouted that it was cute, but even that made Seo Yerin embarrassed.

At least, thanks to Choi Yiseo by her side giving her a reassuring look, she was able to calm down and focus on finishing the song.

Yes! That was the performance by the four from the English Department! Please give them a big round of applause!

The audience clapped and cheered at the shout of entertainer MC.

Farther away, the English Departments pub booth could be seen, and they were the ones making a fuss and cheering loudly.

I-I will never do it again!

She was regretting falling for the seniors coaxing at that moment.

The host grabbed the mic and walked to her.

Having seen the stage, we should do an interview, right? Actually, from the first time I saw you there was something I really wanted to ask.

The host in front of her asked Seo Yerin with a big smile.

Which agencys trainee are you?

What!?

Surprised by the question, she was startled, but the host joked around.

No, I have been to many festivals, but I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you. Even more beautiful than my celebrity colleagues, you see?

Ah, yes, thank you.

Seo Yerin shrank in embarrassment. But the host kept the mood from dropping and asked with a smile.

Have you ever been scouted by an agency? No?

Ahahah.

Feeling awkward, she tried to smile, but it seemed like he wouldnt back down without an answer, and it could make the atmosphere weird.

Y-yes.

She was trying to do her best in hiding her embarrassment, she answered and the host was happy with the response and shouted.

Woahhhhhh! How could we miss such a gem! Remember, no pretending not to know me when we next meet again! Now! Next person! Oh my! We have another beautiful lady here!

Seo Yerin felt slightly dizzy, but her mind felt at ease once the stage and interview were done.

I heard you came to promote the pub. You said you are the department representative?

Yes, I am Choi Yiseo, the freshman representative of the English Department.

Unlike Seo Yerin, Choi Yiseo exuded ease in her gestures and tone.

Responding with a gentle smile, her reaction was a lot warmer than Seo Yerins.

Is everyone here serving?

Yes.

Woah! Now even I want to go there. Do you have any menu dishes that youre confident in?

You need to try the stir-fried pork. The person making it is very skilled.

Stir-fried pork! That sounds so good! If you could say one thing to the people coming to the pub?

Choi Yiseo took the mic, cleared her throat with this loud ahem and smoothed her voice.

Please drop by the English departments pub frequently. But no number-hunting. The members are having a hard time.

Her voice was calm and soft, making her polite request more comfortably received by the people.

Right! No number-hunting! The people here might already be taken! How about you, representative Yiseo?

The host seemed to like how Choi Yiseo was comfortably responding, and asked more questions.

With a bit of an awkward look, Choi Yiseo didnt even try to dodge the question.

I dont have someone Im dating. But theres someone Im interested in.

With that single statement, the atmosphere all heated up. Choi Yiseos courage to speak so openly and the curiosity about who won the heart of this beauty brought in screams and cheers.

Woahh! Our Yiseo has really got a way with words! Alright! Shall we move on to our handsome guys next?

The mic was then directed to Ahn Hyeon-ho and Han-kang. Ahn Hyeon-ho was a bit nervous, but Han-kang skillfully answered the questions, thanks to his experience on the stage last year.

Yes! Everyone! That was the stage of the English department, filled with beauties and handsome ones. Next up is!

Following the guidance of the host, the four of them came down from the stage. Though quite nervous, they could consider the promotion itself adequately accomplished.

Choi Yiseo, die.

The hustle began anew after the four from the English department returned from the stage.

It seems that a huge price was exacted from the four faces of the department making their appearance.

Thanks to that, the theater and film departments, known for their above-average looks, were coming over to check our people out or compete.

Choi Yiseo, dying.

Just. Move your hands.

Hyun-ah, who was helping, scolds me while cutting the tofu. Since all she has to do is roughly cut the tofu with a knife, she was speaking comfortably.

Four more servings of spicy pork!

Yu Arin peeks out from the entrance of the hall and delivers the message. Seeing me frown, Yu Arin grinned.

Pork is getting insanely popular.

I should ask for a different menu starting tomorrow.

Hurry up, chef, everyones waiting!

I almost threw the pork at Yu Arin, who was winking adorably, but I held myself back.

I had already finished the amount I had planned for the day, and was in the middle of hastily taking out what I had prepared for tomorrow from the refrigerator in the office.

Choi Yiseo, please die.

Maybe she heard me mumbling as if I was casting some spell.

From the hall, Choi Yiseo sighed and trudged towards me.

I didnt know it would be this busy either.

Ah, Choi Yiseo.

Im sorry. Ill buy you something delicious during the break.

I responded with a look of shock at Choi Yiseo, who was whispering so only I could hear and was about to leave.

When do we have a break? The customers are continuously pouring in.

Ah

The influx of customers was so relentless that breaks had become a thing of the past, leaving us with no choice but to work continuously.

At my response, Choi Yiseos face fell.

But its a relief.

Honestly, if I were to wander around the festival alone with Choi Yiseo, wouldnt it be known that I was the person shes interested in?

Especially since Ahn Hyeon-ho answered the same question in the same manner, and was still subtly keeping an eye on Choi Yiseo.

What a pity.

Saying so, Choi Yiseo looked straight at me, seemingly expecting a certain answer.

Right.

When I responded in kind, she seemed to feel a bit better and briskly walked back alone.

Its complicated.

I said I wasnt interested in dating, and Choi Yiseo also replied that she wasnt thinking of dating anyone at the moment either.

But every once in a while, when she approached me like this, there was this tendency to make me impulsive.

I should also visit the dentist.

Anonymous90.

Having found a suspect that seemed plausible, I wanted to go check it out, but today, that proved too difficult.

Sighing, while receiving the nagging from the assistant next to me as I worked.

Clang!

Kuaaak!

With a heavy yet dull sound, screams rang out.

You fucking bastard!

And with that, a rich stream of curses came next. Being the closest to the exit, I wondered what happened and went out.

Tables were messily scattered around, and the pork dish I had diligently prepared was all wasted, strewn on the ground.

Above them, this male student was breathing furiously through his nose while holding a soju bottle upside down, whereas another male student was crouching while holding his head as if he had been hit on the head, and a female student who seemed shocked sat down next to the crouching man.

As soon as I saw this, I had this rough feeling.

That the man holding the soju bottle must have suddenly swung it. I didnt know the reason, but I didnt have to intervene.

With the broken bottle in his hand, his eyes were all red. It was clear that his face was oddly red, indicating he was heavily drunk.

This bitch, you like him that much? Fucking woman!

The drunk guy began to yell at the female student next to the fallen man.

Breaking up and then dating immediately? Tell me honestly, you met him while you were still dating me, right?

Nonsense, you crazy bastard!

The two people began to shout at each other. The woman, even with tears falling, seems unjustly loud in her screaming.

Ex-excuse me, just a moment!

In the situation where no one would step in, was our old woman Choi Yiseo taking the lead, but-

Shut the fuck up bitch! We are talking!

Since he began to threaten her with the broken soju bottle, Choi Yiseo couldnt get any closer.

And perhaps because Choi Yiseo was threatened like that

Without realizing it I went up next to her and grabbed her hand and shoulder, pulling her back.

Woojin?

Its dangerous, so step back.

Choi Yiseo, who was in the kitchen, was startled by my sudden appearance. I sent her back and told her to call the police for now.

A situation where the soju bottle could be swung again at any moment towards the crouching man or woman.

Fellow student? Please calm down. Acting like this will only ruin your life.

I try to divert his attention by smiling and approaching with my hands raised.

What about you!

Then, the anger which was directed at the two of them lost its way and turned towards me.

He threatens me to get lost while grumbling and holding the soju bottle out.

Dont butt into the conversation! Do you want me to smash your head in too?!

The man was now holding another soju bottle in his other hand. If he swung or threw it, it would be disastrous.

It was hard to talk to someone who refused to listen.

Then, Yu Arin caught my eye.

She was tying her hair back with a hair tie and cut a certain part on the side of her tight black skirt with scissors.

The moment I saw that, I immediately yelled,

Youre getting dumped by girls because of this, you bastard! Are you flustered, smashing someone on the head with an alcohol bottle?! Im embarrassed for you, grabbing a weapon because you got scared! Get lost! No, didnt you lose it and thats why you broke up?!

Insane bitch!

Just as the drunk guy charged at me in anger,

woong!

A gust of wind blew by.

With a clean path, Yu Arins foot soared up and struck the drunk guy right in the chin.

Crack!

Like a martial arts movie scene, the drunk guys head snapped to the side and he fell over.

Hoo.

Having neatly regained her stance, Yu Arin glanced down at the downed drunk man, and peered at me.

The moment she wore a smug smile on her lips,

Woahhh! Yu Arin, what was thatttt!!

So freaking cool!

Hand! Start by letting go of the alcohol bottle!

Cheers erupted around me, and with a kind smile, I gave Yu Arin a thumbs up, thinking to myself,

Black skirt with black panties, how provocative.
