A Lewd Sketch Artist in a Gender-Reversed World - Chapter 95

Chapter 95 : Three-Way Confrontation

This time, the bar we went to had the feel of a simple street stall.

You know, the kind with simple plastic round tables and cheap plastic chairs.

The bar we visited was one of those inexpensive street stalls.

Why did we choose this place instead of an izakaya, jazz bar, or a private room?

The reason was that this place had a different atmosphere.

Basically, such street stalls tend to be noisier than other places.

Of course, it might just be a feeling, but it certainly feels more distracting.

Because of that atmosphere, I chose this place.

Since it was our first meeting, it was bound to be awkward, and I thought this kind of place would be better than a needlessly fancy one.

If it's going to be awkward anyway, it's better to drown it out in the noise.

That way, we might eventually open up to each other under the influence of the atmosphere. That's what I thought.

But...

"......"

"......"

It seemed that the awkwardness would last quite a while.

Five minutes after entering the bar, Ahrin and Eunbyeol were just staring at each other without saying a word.

For a full five minutes!

As a result, unlike the noisy tables around us, an uncomfortable air was flowing here. A heavy silence pressed down on the surroundings.

I thought to myself,

'Awkward...'

I knew it would be awkward, but this was beyond my imagination. It felt like sharp blades were lurking around us.

Even Ahrin, who had coolly accepted, was just staring with an indifferent look.

Far from a threesome, it seemed like it could fall apart at any moment.

How did it come to this?

First, it was good that we gathered.

We arrived on time without being late and even exchanged light greetings before sitting at the table.

I thought we would at least have an awkward conversation after that... but it seemed that was my mistake.

Given how tense they were, it seemed so.

'I, I can't stay like this!'

As my throat started to dry up, I decided to take the initiative.

First, I would open the conversation by lightly asking about the menu. That way, some opinions would come out.

There was no need to start with a heavy topic. The beginning of a conversation starts with simple things.

With that resolve, I opened my mouth with an awkward smile.

"Haha, first, let's order something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"No, I don't have anything in mind."

"Just order anything. I don't mind."

But all I got in return was a cold reply of indifference... Thanks to that, the conversation I had barely started quickly ended.

She didn't even glance at me while giving that reply.

Eunbyeol is cold... even Ahrin is being mean to me...

It felt like a small thorn was piercing a corner of my heart.

"Ah... well... yeah..."

In the end, I awkwardly replied and had no choice but to order the most ordinary side dishes.

At that moment, I made up my mind.

Let's drink, drink a lot.

So much that we won't know what's right or wrong, until we're completely drunk.

Then, something will happen.

With that thought, I immediately ordered four bottles of soju.

The drinking session started in such an awkward atmosphere.

___

"Here you go."

The restaurant part-timer said that and placed the side dishes on the table.

The first side dishes we ordered were two.

A slightly spicy jjamppong soup and okonomiyaki topped with lots of bonito flakes.

Both were dishes that weren't particularly divisive and were decently tasty.

Of course, as I mentioned earlier, it didn't really matter to Eunbyeol what side dishes we ordered.

She was busy scrutinizing the person sitting across from her.

'Hmm...'

In fact, she had come here with thoughts similar to Ahrin's.

She had accepted the threesome deal, but that didn't mean she could look favorably upon the other person.

So, she planned to personally 'review' them with her own eyes.

There was no particular reason.

It was just to satisfy the base desire of 'I'm better than her' through the review.

It was one of the lowly desires that all humans have. People use it to gain confidence.

The woman named Ahrin, whom she met with such negative thoughts.

'...She's pretty.'

She had a prettier appearance than she had imagined.

She had round eyes that seemed to shimmer with a brown hue and a cute face that supported those eyes.

Overall, she was a woman with a cute and petite vibe.

But if you looked down at her chest, you could see two large lumps that didn't match that vibe.

Seeing that, Eunbyeol muttered something similar to admiration inside.

'Wow, shit, aren't they heavy...'

She was definitely not small herself.

No, if you asked, she was a bit larger than average, so she was quite busty.

But the woman in front of her felt 1.5 times larger than herself.

Even though her chest was pressed against her clothes, reducing the volume, the three-dimensional effect was clearly noticeable.

Undoubtedly, she was at the level of a definite busty woman.

Feeling an unexpected disparity, Eunbyeol had to feel a sense of defeat.

That's why they were just scrutinizing each other without opening their mouths recklessly.

Both had clearly attractive parts.

It was a strange standoff created by each of them shrinking back from a certain part of the other.

" The okonomiyaki here is delicious..."

In that situation, only Se-won was nibbling with his chopsticks.

He was trying to break the awkward atmosphere somehow.

It was pitiful to see him constantly making thoughtless remarks, but... well, it wasn't that pitiful since it was his own doing.

'Hoo...'

Even so, after a few minutes of this standoff, Eunbyeol suddenly thought, what am I doing?

I didn't come here to fight, but to at least break the ice.

If you think about it, she had only just heard that he was there. So, she could be considered a fellow victim.

She didn't like it yet, but she could fully understand the other person's position.

And to be honest... she was a bit interested in the threesome.

'Cough.'

There was no need to make unnecessary enemies in the world.

She knew that well, and so she slowly began to open her mouth.

"First, let me introduce myself. I'm Lee Eunbyeol, and I'm in the same university senior-junior relationship with him."

A smooth and natural introduction.

Originally, in such first meetings, it's natural to start with self-introductions.

With at least some information, you can start a conversation, and that can create an opportunity to get closer. That's how human relationships are formed.

As she opened her mouth first, Ahrin followed suit.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Seong Ahrin. I just happened to meet him somehow. By the way, if you're in a senior-junior relationship, are you the junior?"

"Ah, yes. Ah, come to think of it, you're the same age as my senior, so just speak comfortably."

"No, no, even though we haven't known each other for long..."

"No, I prefer that too."

Once the conversation started, it continued naturally.

Fortunately, Ahrin had enough social skills to continue a conversation with a 'woman,' even if she froze up with a 'man.'

As the awkward atmosphere eased a bit, the drinking session continued naturally.

"Ah, well then... I'll speak casually."

Ahrin nodded and lightly clinked her glass.

First, she needed to drink some alcohol to make the conversation easier.

Clink-

A clear sound rang out as the glass cups collided.

As the alcohol went down her throat, a bitter taste lingered on her tongue.

"Ugh..."

It was a taste she never got used to no matter how many times she drank it. Still, she wasn't too worried.

Fortunately, Ahrin was quite good at drinking.

To be more precise, she had strong endurance in a drunk state.

You know, there are people like that sometimes.

They get drunk quickly, but strangely, they don't pass out and endure until the end of the drinking session.

She was that kind of strange person.

"By the way, how did you meet him?"

Anyway, the conversation continued like that.

Awkward, but not suffocatingly so.

Silence occasionally fell, but it didn't last long.

Questions led to more questions, and before they knew it, they were having a proper conversation.

"Ah, so this guy suggested meeting first?"

Eunbyeol pointed at Se-won with her finger.

"Yeah."

Ahrin nodded awkwardly.

The current topic of conversation was how she and Se-won had become acquainted.

Since the connection between the two women was Se-won, the topic naturally leaned towards him.

When they found out that he had impulsively suggested meeting out of sexual desire, Eunbyeol glared at Se-won with sharp eyes.

"Are you out of your mind? Don't you know how dangerous it is to meet someone online?"

"Haha... I had a lot pent up at that time."

He laughed awkwardly. Indeed, even though the world had become safer, online meetings still carried risks.

It was understandable that she was angry.

Still, there was an excuse to be made.

"But, if you think about it, this is partly your fault."

"What?! Why is this my fault?"

Eunbyeol was flustered by his calm response.

"Well... you ran away after creating a good atmosphere."

"What?"

That's right!

Back when they were still awkward with each other, Eunbyeol had chickened out and run away after setting up a perfect opportunity!

 Se-won, who was already filled with sexual desire, had no choice but to make an impulsive decision.

So, meeting Ahrin was, in a way, something Eunbyeol had set in motion.

As he explained, Eunbyeol asked in a panic.

"Wait, you remembered that?"

Cold sweat ran down her back.

It was one of the embarrassing memories she had tried to erase from her mind, but he was bringing it up again.

Moreover, at that time, he had pretended not to remember because he was drunk.

"Of course, I remembered."

"But last time I apologized, you said you didn't remember anything!"

"That was a lie. I said that to save you from the embarrassment of running away like a coward."

"Aah...!"

Eunbyeol scratched her head in embarrassment.

No matter how she thought about it, the way she had run away like a coward that day was shameful even to herself.

Her face turned red like a tomato at the unexpected counterattack.

'Hoo...'

 Se-won smiled slightly inside as he watched her.

'Thank goodness.'

It was truly a relief.

At first, it was so awkward that it seemed like it would fail, but it seemed that the world didn't work in a way that would make things fail without reason.

Look, eventually, as time passed, they somehow opened up to each other.

Thanks to that, the awkward atmosphere was now somewhat eased.

The relationship between the two women who had just met didn't seem too bad either.

Good, let's continue like this and pass without any problems...

Just then.

Ahrin, who had been watching their banter, suddenly opened her mouth.

"Ah, then..."

A transparent soju glass held in her hand is visible. Inside, a colorless alcohol could be seen swirling.

A faint smile on her face, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Not drunk, but with enough alcohol in her stomach to raise her tension slightly.

Anyway, she continued speaking.

Slowly gesturing, in a soft tone.

"Mmm And I’m pretty sure I was his first"

But the sentence itself was heavy.

As she spoke, a smile still lingered on her lips.

A smile that somewhat resembled a sneer.

'Huh?'

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed beside him.

Eunbyeol had downed her drink and slammed the glass onto the table.

She smiled coldly and said,

"... Ohh I see"

She said it again. It was a cold smile. A smile could indeed be cold.

'Huh?'

Se-won thought to himself.

'Ahrin?'

Why are you suddenly provoking her?
