As a result, the heroine’s mind has been out of the house for a long time.
Da-bin also seems to have used the heroine’s excitement as a booster and drank a lot.
The freshmen welcome party is nearing its end, and the two of them hold a conversation that is not really a conversation in a half-asleep state.
Herione “Dabiiiin, are you druuunk?”
Dabin “Absolutely not!! Not at aaaall!! I’m still a college studeent, so what are you talking about, hah”
Herione “Me too, haha”
Senior 1 “Oh my, what are you two doing? You seem really drunk”
Senior 2 “I don’t think they should stay here any longer.. let’s send them home”
So the seniors at the same table contact Dabin’s parents and put Dabin in a taxi first, sending her off.
Senior 1 “Whew…. This is rough”
Senior 2 “Don’t get tired yet, there’s still one more person left”
Senior 1 “Oh right, Kim Yeojuㅠ”
But Yeoju, seeming to be blatantly trying to toy with the seniors, falls into a deep sleep. A very deep one at that.
Yeoju, who is MAX shy around strangers, falls over and sleeps in front of people she’s seeing for the first time?
It’s the moment that makes it obvious Yeoju will be extremely hard on herself tomorrow.
Senior 2 “Yeoju??? You have to go home!!”
Yeoju “Huhnyah.. hmmnya…”
Senior 1 “At this rate, I don’t think she’s getting up”
Senior 2 “Then let’s look for another person again”
Senior 2 holds Yeoju’s phone up in front of Yeoju’s face. Face ID unlocks.
Senior 2 clicks the contacts app and looks at the favorites section
Senior 2 “Han Taesan? Should we call this person?”
Senior 1 “Let’s see. Hmm, there’s no one else in favorites, so I guess we have to”
Ring ring
The phone’s ringing tone echoes.
Taesan “Hello?”
Senior 2 “Oh, hello. The thing is, Yeoju drank way too much at the freshmen welcome party and is sleeping right now~ Could you maybe come pick her up?”
Taesan “Yeoju is drunk and asleep?? haha Ah, then if you text me where you are, I’ll go.”
Senior 2 “Yes, I’ll send it over”
Beep beep beep
The call end tone sounds.
[Taesan’s house]
Taesan “Is it even possible that Kim Yeoju crashed like that hahahaha”
Laughing to himself like that, Taesan gets ready and leaves his front door. Hurrying to a pork barbecue place by taxi, Taesan can no longer believe what he’s seeing.
[Ppuneok Pork BBQ]
Yeoju “Zzz hmmnya hmmnyeon”
Taesan ‘hahahahahahahaha’
Taesan “Hey, wake up” (poking her) “If you really don’t wake up right now, you’re going to die of embarrassment”
Yeoju “Hmmnya… uuh? H-Han Taesan?”
Taesan “Let’s go, home”
Yeoju “Huh??”
Guided by Taesan’s hand, which is pushing at her back, Yeoju leaves the restaurant. Taesan finds the sight of Yeoju, his friend of ten years, absolutely hilarious. Why? Because the Yeoju who used to volunteer to be a tree in the school play to avoid standing out is acting like this on the first day meeting people from her department.
Taesan “Ah, seriouslyㅋㅎㅋㅎㅋㅋㅋㅋ Get in” (opening the taxi door)
Yeoju “Yes~”
So Yeoju gets into a taxi with Taesan and goes to Yeoju’s one-room apartment.
Then Yeoju falls asleep again.
With nowhere to put her head, Yeoju headbangs a little before finally resting her head on Taesan’s shoulder.
Taesan “???”
Taesan’s ears turn red.
He only looks out at the passing scenery.
Realizing that Yeoju is sound asleep, Taesan mutters softly.
