"Hey, Park Woojin, you bastard, just drink it!"
I really don't want to be a part of Jo Onna's party. They would have had a great time by themselves even if I hadn't come. I don't even know why they insisted on coming. I just want to go home.
옹성우
"Hey Park Ji-hoon, come quickly!"
Even Ong Seongwu, that bastard, seemed already drunk. If Seongwu's mom finds out about this, what are we going to do? She'll beat up our group.
With the college entrance exam just a few months away, I was having a ridiculous drinking party, and I couldn't even drink, so I felt guilty and went out for some fresh air. What was this, trying to cover up the scandal with Kim Yeo-joo?
-Rrrrr Rrrrr
박지훈
"They say even a tiger comes when called, hello?"
김여주
"Jihoon, what's wrong? Did you do your homework?"
박지훈
"Why is your pronunciation like that? Are you drunk?"
김여주
"I drank a little, but did you notice?"
박지훈
"Wipe your feet and go to sleep."
김여주
"Eeeeeeeeeeeee. I'll stay out there forever."
He said he drank a little, but it was all a lie. Of course, I didn't believe it from the beginning.
박지훈
"Huh...where?"
김여주
"I'm at Cheongma Park."
Cheongma Park was a dark park about five minutes from where this wild drinking party was taking place. Why were you sitting there? Fearless in this scary world.
박지훈
"..I'll be there soon"
배진영
_"What the hell~? Hey"
I got a KakaoTalk message from Bae Jin-young, who seemed quite drunk, but I didn't pay any attention to it. I thought I'd just say he was drunk and went home first.

박지훈
"Oh my god"
When I got there, I saw Kim Yeo-ju dozing off on the slide. She was really drunk.
김여주
"Oh, it's Jihoon."
박지훈
"Yes, it's Park Ji-hoon."
김여주
"It's Jihoon with red cheeks"
박지훈
"Who made you come running here... huh?"
김여주
"cold?"
Kim Yeo-ju grabbed my cheek. What the hell, why are you grabbing so hard? Aren't you just pretending to be drunk and hitting me?
Then he came closer and stared intently into my eyes. It felt strange. It felt like he was in a position three seconds before a kiss. What if people misunderstood?
김여주
"Hey, your eyes are really pretty. Can you give them to me?"
박지훈
"..."
My heart also felt intoxicated by Kim Yeo-ju's alcohol smell. Why was my heart pounding so hard? I kept my mouth shut, afraid I'd stutter like a retard if I spoke. Then, a call came on Kim Yeo-ju's phone. I was saved.
-Rrrrr Rrrrr
'My beloved Bae Joo-hyun♥'
But Kim Yeo-ju doesn't even think about accepting it. Instead, she makes a strange noise and lies down on the slide. This is really unbearable.
박지훈
"hello?"
배주현
'Hey, Kim Yeo-ju! What have you been doing that you haven't answered the phone yet?'
박지훈
"Are you Kim Yeo-ju's friend?"
배주현
'Huh? You're the female lead's friend, but who are you?'
Luckily, he was someone I could communicate with, so I explained the whole story and he even apologized on Kim Yeo-ju's behalf. He said he would come pick me up, but since it was close to my house anyway, I decided to just drop her off.
박지훈
"Hey, get on me."
김여주
"yes"
박지훈
"Wow...you're really strong."
김여주
"Jihoon, I don't feel well."
박지훈
"If you vomit on my back, you will die."
김여주
"Minsu, you've really changed. Were your shoulders this broad before? You've grown into a man."
The conversation was going nowhere, and Kim Yeo-ju was now talking nonsense. Just as I was seriously considering just abandoning her, I suddenly felt Kim Yeo-ju's breath.
My heart, which had been pounding so hard since earlier, felt like it was going to explode. This is why I feel like a total idiot. Was I always this petty when I was dating?
김여주
"Minsu, your clothes smell good."
박지훈
"It's because you're Jihoon. It tickles, so stop sniffing."
김여주
"Okay, Minsu."
Who the hell is that Minsu that he's singing like this? While the two were chatting, they arrived at Kim Yeo-ju's friend's house, and Kim Yeo-ju's friend, named Joo-hyun, greeted her a bit loudly.
배주현
"Hey you bitch, didn't I tell you to drink less? I'm sorry... This isn't the type of person who usually does this."
박지훈
"It's okay. I'll go now."
배주현
"Yes, thank you very much."
I guess I'm being sarcastic. What a meaningless meeting and a meaningless parting. He really just brought me here. With Kim Yeo-ju practically unconscious, I wasn't in a position to do anything else.
박지훈
"..."
My heart was still pounding. What was happening because of Kim Yeo-ju?
