"Oh...smells...good.."
"Settings Manager Jeon Won-woo-"
"Why me?"
"You're going to get chicken just for participating, even though you didn't do much...is that it?"
"Ah... no."
"Then let's do it quickly."
***
widely,
"to?"
"why?"
"Teacher, we are Mizan."
"Hmm."
Seo Myeong-ho nodded vigorously, as if to say, "I'm sorry, but I brought it... to eat it...
"No... no, you guys drink cola."
"ah..."
"Jeon Won-woo!"
"yes?"
"Let's have a drink together."
"yes?"
"Hey... why do you keep asking questions? You're an adult."
"yes."
"Then let's have a beer. I don't have any drinking buddies."
"Sister, you're awesome..."
"Yes, that's right."
Chiik-,
"Ha... How long has it been since I've had this carbonated drink..."
"Wonwoo hyung.."
"uh."
"Why is only Lee Seok-min's cup?"
"Oh... I forgot to bring one."
"While getting hit by the neighborhood idiot."
"I told you not to do that. It's because I'm not good at addition and subtraction."
"Huh? Isn't that the easiest?"
"It's hard to take it out."

I'm completely absorbed in the atmosphere. Beer and chicken—what a wonderful combination. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to properly rest. For me, rest means nothing more than sleep. There are kids chatting away while eating chicken in front of me... and there's someone next to me who's my drinking buddy... it's all so wonderful. But I'm not the only one who's drunk because of this atmosphere, right...?
"Umm... kid... are your eyes cold...? Tsk tsk! I have to get up, my eyes... are swollen!"
"...Uh...Your Korean teacher's drinking is no joke..?"
"Uh...ah..."
“It’s been like this since a while ago… isn’t it serious?”
"No, I don't know Mr. Kook's drinking capacity either."
"It looks like you just drank it."
"Uh...just let them in?"
"Ah! No!! I'm going to drink... I'm going to drink!"
"to?"
"You...if you let me into your room...you! I'll deduct points!"
"Uh..no..I studied Korean so hard.."
"I don't need any of that~! It's been a while since I've had a drink..."
Was it all an illusion, really? The kids were so funny, when I came to my senses and looked again, they all had this 'what should I do' look on their faces. I'm really good at drinking. Not to brag, but... I didn't even know that, really... really amazing.
"Ah-..this won't work, hey Seokmin Lee."
"uh?"
"Please block Hae-ryeong from coming out of her room."
"okay.."
"Seo Myung-ho, you and I need to clean this up."
"Ha... why does it seem like there's more to clean up?"
"There are still two stacks of books in the room... and I need to take out one more bookshelf."
"And there's a pile of comic books."
***
"Teacher...please...come in...!!"
The teacher comes out and starts making a scene, demanding more drinks. He probably doesn't even realize how outrageous his actions are. Yeah, I'm probably the first person in the entire school to set foot in Mr. Kook's house. Of course, that's why I like it. But, this teacher's strength is no joke when he drinks.
'What's wrong, Lee Seok-min?'
'I think my sister was biting me.'
'Drunkenness is a hit...'
I hear Seo Myeong-ho and Wonwoo-hyung's voices outside. "But why did you leave this job to me? I feel like I'm going to collapse." The teacher grabs my knee and tries to pull me out of the door. He frowns, trying to force me out. "What good is a twenty-six-year-old being cute to an eighteen-year-old?" I say, "But right now, you're acting like a baby."
"No, teacher... I... I'm falling... I told you I don't have much strength left..?"
"Ugh...ah...then just get out of the way, you idiot!!"
"I know what you're going to do when you get out there, so I'm getting out of the way!"
"No! It's my house, so I can't just leave without permission?"
"You're going to go out and get drunk...!"
"No...I'll just drink!"
"That won't work, ugh!!"
bang,
"Ah... crazy..."
"Ugh...what are you doing in front of me..."
The teacher pulled me hard and I fell. Thanks to that, or rather, because we both fell, I ended up on top of the teacher. Oh... my face must have turned red again, like a ripe persimmon.
"Ah... Teacher, wake up."
When I tried to pull the teacher up, he pulled my body, preventing me from getting up. Silence flowed between us. "What do you want me to do with you like this, teacher?"
"Uh...uh! Lee Seok-ming..."
"Teacher, just wake up..."
At that moment, the teacher pressed his lips against mine. Ah... I shouldn't like this, but why do I like it... The teacher wrapped his hand around the back of my neck. If you do this, I won't be able to control myself, teacher.
