Have another drink









Yeo-ju has a boyfriend who she dated for two years before breaking up with him. His name is Min Yoongi, and they are exactly one year apart in age. They started dating when Yeo-ju was a sophomore in high school and Yoongi was a freshman. They broke up when Yeo-ju was 20 and entering college, just like any other couple, because they hit a point of boredom. There were no major fights, it just flowed.








Time passed, and Yeo-ju became a sophomore in the CD department at Hwayang University. Aside from the occasional thought of Yoon-gi, she was just going through a normal college life. Then, one day, the CD department held a welcome party for new students. She had some free time, so she decided to go for a drink and just look around.

What the hell, Min Yoongi is sitting there. Same department at the same university. Our heroine, who was wondering what a coincidence this was, just opened her eyes wide. The heroine, who was freaking out at the entrance, tried to sneak out again.Oh my Our department's signboard, Kang Yeo-ju, has arrived!!Thanks to my friend who was making a fuss, haha.. I sat down awkwardly while scratching the back of my neck. I saw your face.








Just in case, she turned her head towards Yoongi, but he didn't even look at her and just kept drinking. It felt both relieved and sad at the same time. She could have pretended not to know her, after all, their breakup wasn't that bad. Yeoju, after thinking about this and that, decided to just quietly drink and leave. Since they were in different grades, they probably wouldn't run into each other much anyway.








The drinking party got so heated that everyone was getting tipsy, it was obvious. The thing that had spilled on the desk was medicine, and there was a lot of noise outside the store, so it was chaos. But Yeo-ju has a pretty strong drinking capacity, so her role was to roughly clean up the kids and send them home. As usual, she picked up her friend first, put him in a taxi, and cleaned up the mess, but there was someone around her who was as sane as she was and helped clean up? It was Min Yoongi.








She thought about saying something, but she didn't want Yoongi to feel burdened, so she just let it go. She'd ignored him earlier, so what's the point of talking to him? So, Yeo-ju, who had finished her chores, packed her bags and opened the store door, only to be grabbed by the wrist from behind. Who could it be?

"Sister. Let's have another drink together."








Min Yoongi is still full of regrets.
