Chapter 24 : Cardigan
The evening streets are bustling. It's because social people, who have finished their hard day's work, pour out as soon as evening comes.
Sometimes, teenagers who have finished school wander around restaurants and karaoke bars, and office workers who have finished work run an endless train of office dinners.
Sometimes, college students who want to burn their youth go wild in the city.
Various desires and emotions meet and mix on one street. In a way, the city streets are like a monster that devours desires.
And now, we were exploring the belly of that monster.
Surprisingly, the belly of this monster was filled with delicious food and fun entertainment instead of blood and stomach walls.
7 PM.
We were wandering around looking for a pub.
"Oppa, I found a good pocha."
A cheerful voice was heard in front of me. It was the voice of Lee Eunbyeol. She, who was walking ahead, seemed excited.
Her steps were light, and her voice was higher than usual.
Well, the evening streets had something that naturally lifted the spirits. The latest pop songs flowing from the streets, people walking around here and there. The energy of people who came out just to have fun affects the surrounding air.
Even I was in a slightly excited mood.
'It feels like it's been almost ten days since I last drank.'
I've mentioned it before.
I quite like drinking.
The unique dizziness and floating feeling after drinking alcohol came to me as a good mood.
It also erased my complicated thoughts and interfered with logical thinking, blocking unnecessary thoughts in advance.
I am basically a negative person.
Because of that, when I have unnecessary thoughts, I often fall into a depressed mood, and alcohol solves that.
So, I often drink alone, but recently, I haven't had a drink.
I've been too busy lately. You need money and time to drink.
However, recently, I've had a lot to do with commissions and school, so I naturally drifted away from alcohol.
Especially now, I had to start planning the comics to upload to the sponsorship account Pinbox, so there was a lot on my mind.
In that situation, stopping my thoughts with alcohol. Originally, it shouldn't be done.
'Honestly, I'm busy today too...'
So what.
How can a person live only efficiently.
Even machines tend to overheat when they work, so people need to rest much more.
Sometimes, you need to cool your head like this.
And separately, it's been a long time since I met Eunbyeol.
It's been almost a week since I avoided meeting under the pretext of push and pull.
So, this appointment had various reasons mixed together.
...Maybe the thin clothes are also one of the reasons.
"This way, please."
Finally, we arrived at our destination, and she pointed to the third floor with her finger.
I saw a sign that read 1944, which seemed to be the name of the pub.
She went up the stairs first, and I followed her.
Thump, thump. The sound of shoes hitting the ground echoed thinly.
As I looked up, I naturally saw Eunbyeol's back.
The tight jeans that clung to her body fully expressed her figure.
Well-trained slim thighs, and a large pelvis in contrast.
The overwhelming backside was emphasized with each step.
"Cough, cough..."
At the sight, I turned my head away.
Inside, I lightly sang the national anthem. As the lyrics of the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain dried up and wore away... As the lyrics progressed, the worries in my head were slightly erased.
Phew, I must not lose my rationality.
I didn't know what would happen if I lost my rationality in a state where I had been suppressing my desires for almost a week.
In that sense, the cardigan she wore was an excellent restraint. It was a bit annoying to cover her backside, but now that annoyance was helpful.
"Let's go in."
Fortunately, the stairs were not many, so it ended quickly.
As we arrived at the entrance, she pointed inside with both hands like an employee of a store. It was her own joke and escort.
I smiled at that sight and went inside.
Then, the scene inside the store came into view.
"Oh."
A short exclamation came out.
The inside of the pub was quite luxurious. The overall dark atmosphere was filled with soft lighting.
A small chandelier hanging in the center of the store and a smooth marble floor added luxury to the atmosphere.
It was moderately atmospheric and moderately lively.
It was the kind of pub atmosphere I liked.
"Not bad."
"Right? The side dishes here are also delicious."
She said as if boasting.
From what she said, it seemed like she had been here often with her friends. Well, she was quite active, so she must have been around various places.
We went and sat in a moderately secluded place in the store.
The center was too noisy, and the very end was too gloomy.
A place two or three sections away from the corner was just the right spot.
As we sat down, the conversation naturally started.
The first topic was, of course, a discussion about alcohol and food.
"What do you want to drink? There are various types of soju here. Grapefruit soju, green grape soju. Ah, there's also mint soju. Do you want to try it?"
"Something like that? Even a dog wouldn't drink it."
"Dogs don't drink alcohol in the first place, do they? So what? It's fun to try new things. Who knows? It might be delicious."
So, we ordered one spicy seafood stew, one fried chicken skin, two bottles of plain soju. And one mint soju... She insisted on ordering that.
It seemed like Miss Eunbyeol had a strong sense of challenge.
"Wow, three bottles of soju from the start. There are two of us. Aren't we going too fast from the beginning?"
"It's because you ordered mint soju. And we can adjust the pace later."
"Don't say the mint soju is delicious."
So, a light drinking session began.
The spicy scent of the seafood stew tickled my nose. The savory smell of the fried food stimulated my taste buds. I opened a bottle of soju and lightly wet my throat.
Feeling the bitter taste of the soju, I thought to myself.
'I should drink moderately.'
Of course, this promise was never kept.
*
When there is good food and someone to talk to, the glass of alcohol empties quickly.
While chatting with the other person and sipping one mouthful at a time, one bottle empties quickly.
Especially when ordering spicy and salty side dishes, you have to pick up the glass often to soothe your heated insides.
Why not drink water?
No, water is not an option.
Only gays drink water.
...No, originally drinking water is a personal freedom, but at this moment, it was indeed gay.
The moment I unconsciously said 'Chicken?' when Eunbyeol was about to drink water was significant.
'Chicken' is a magical word. It puts a person who had no thoughts on the fighting stage.
From then on, a slight pride match was established, and the formula of drinking water = gay = lesbian was established.
Thanks to that, the current state.
They, who drank without rest, were now on their fourth bottle of soju.
No, to be precise, about four and a half bottles. They gave up on the mint soju after drinking half, so it was indeed four and a half bottles.
As expected, it was tasteless.
The unique bitter taste of mint and the bitter taste of soju combined to make a frown.
In the end, they gave up trying to force it down, and Eunbyeol decided to pay for the mint soju.
"Ugh..."
Se-won shook his head vigorously. His head felt heavy. If he loosened his strength and closed his eyelids, his head would drop.
His thoughts were paralyzed, and his mind was hazy. His vision was blurred, and sometimes his fingers looked like two.
He said he would drink moderately... but that was hard to keep in a drinking session.
He was confident. Objectively, Se-won was strong with alcohol.
His manageable alcohol capacity was an impressive two and a half bottles. He could drink up to three bottles before blacking out.
Roughly between 17 to 21 glasses.
He was confident in his drinking capacity and believed he wouldn't get drunk even if the drinking session lasted long.
But perhaps the Department of Physical Education was different from the start.
Eunbyeol was catching up to Se-won's alcohol capacity. They were both at 2.25 bottles each.
His stomach already felt like it was half-filled with alcohol.
Eunbyeol looked at Se-won, whose head was dropping, and said,
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you already done? Who was it that asked if I was chicken at first?"
The provocation penetrated his hazy mind. Amid the confusion, the cry of mockery was clearly heard.
Of course, Se-won was not the type to stay quiet after hearing such nonsense.
"Hey!"
Se-won suddenly picked up the soju glass and poured it down his throat.
Gulp, gulp. The cold alcohol slid smoothly inside.
"Where are you spouting such nonsense! It's not over yet!"
Se-won raised the empty glass high and shouted. It was as if he was declaring that he was still fine.
Eunbyeol saw that and laughed. His usually calm demeanor contrasted with his current appearance, which was amusing.
But inside, she was feeling surprised.
'He's crazy...'
He drank without rest.
Even though he was slightly tipsy, he was still in his right mind.
His head was dropping, but he wasn't asleep, and even though he occasionally muttered nonsense, the conversation itself was going well.
In fact, she was also drunk, so she couldn't make a proper judgment.
Two bottles of soju were a burdensome amount for her too. In fact, she was almost at her limit.
She thought that if she drank two or three more glasses, she would pass out. But since she was provoked, she couldn't just stay still.
Eunbyeol followed Se-won and poured the glass down her throat.
"...Ugh."
The cold and bitter alcohol quickly went down.
It was definitely cold going down the throat, but the head felt even hotter.
Perhaps because the day had heated up too quickly, the air felt strangely hot without adjusting the air conditioner.
So, she took off her cardigan without thinking.
"...Phew."
The cool wind brushed against her exposed skin. The thin V-neck crop top revealed her fair skin.
The pointed end of the V-neck revealed her cleavage.
At that moment, Lee Se-won, who had lifted his head, was transfixed.
'Huh...'
His gaze was drawn to her cleavage as if pulled by a magnet.
Her figure, revealed by removing the thin curtain, was truly destructive.
The well-maintained eleven-line abs on her abdomen and her moderately large breasts. The thin and curvy hourglass figure was fully revealed.
Instantly, blood rushed to his lower body.
Thoughts numbed by alcohol tend to remove rationality first.
In the emptied corner of his brain, instinct rose, and instinct aroused primal desire.
Why are men obsessed with breasts? Biologically, it's just a lump of fat.
A severely swollen lump of flesh that just took the form of a water balloon. Men were crazy about it.
The hot heat seemed to engulf his whole body. The suddenly activated blood flow spread heat throughout his body.
The so-called chain reaction of heat. To cool his heated head for a moment, this time Se-won took off his cardigan.
A white short-sleeved T-shirt that he had roughly chosen at home was revealed.
And now it was Eunbyeol's turn to react.
'...Huh?'
Her gaze was fixed on Se-won's body.
