episode_0016

On Sunday morning, I woke up feeling groggy, stretched, and woke up my sleeping body by stretching.

I have a movie appointment with Rumi today. It’s the idol party movie version.

Honestly, I don’t even know what an idol party is or what it’s about. I’m not really interested in that kind of thing.

Still, if you’re going to see that movie, you should do some research in advance. That would be polite to Rumi as well.

I searched ‘idol party’ on Too Wiki.

“Idol party… what is this?”

The story is about students at a school on the brink of collapse, creating their own idol unit, becoming famous, and ultimately saving the school.

Is there an animation like this?

Thanks to this, I learned what limited edition and gacha are.

Otakus are detailed and meticulous about the anime they like.

To avoid being caught lying, I picked a random character and decided on it as my favorite.

I even went into my favorite character’s personal files and memorized everything, starting with her profile, singing, dancing, and even her favorite hairstyle.

“This is the perfect otaku.”

I succeeded in completely possessing an otaku.

I looked at the time and it was time to leave.

Since I had already prepared everything, I just put on my coat and left the dormitory.

We arrived quickly because the movie theater we planned to meet at was close to the Academy. I looked around and it seemed like Rumi hadn’t arrived yet.

『Subquest has been sent.』

[A memorable first date!]

Your first date is Rumi!

Rumi is very much looking forward to her first private meeting with her friend!

Give Rumi unforgettable memories!

———————-

Oh, the quest has appeared.

It seems like an unforgettable memory, something difficult, right?

After receiving the quest, I was sitting on a suitable bench to pass the time, and a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Come to think of it, how long has it been since you last dated a girl?

I suddenly feel nervous. I didn’t even think about it, but now that I realize it, I feel nervous.

My heart is pounding.

My heart also seems to be beating fast.

“There will come a day when this will come in handy.”

I took a tablet of Cheongsimhwan that the crazy old pharmacist gave me. I gulp down the water as well.

“What are you eating?”

“Croak cologne! Kae-hoop!”

“Gwae, are you okay? I’m sorry. Because of me!”

“No, no. It’s okay.”

Rumi came wearing a bright dress and her long black hair tied with a red ribbon hair tie. It was my first time actually seeing civilian clothes, so I was honestly excited.

The unbalanced appearance of a petite figure that exudes an innocent charm and a cuteness and a volume that cannot be hidden gave the impression that a lot of effort was put into decorating it.

“But what did you eat? Candy?”

“I took Cheongsimhwan. I was nervous.”

“What is Cheongsimhwan?”

“Well, you can think of it as a medicine that relieves tension and lowers body temperature. I took it because I was nervous thinking about going on a date with Rumi.”

Upon hearing what I said, Rumi’s face became increasingly red and she lowered her head.

“Yes, yes? A date? What can I say? I think it would be better to take things one step at a time. Of course, it’s not that I don’t like Mr. Hoenn, I actually like it, but….”

It was very cute to see him crossing his fingers and wondering what to do.

“Just kidding, do you really want to go on a date?”

“Huh? No, uhm…don’t make fun of me.”

Rumi saw my face and realized I was being teased. I should have held back my laughter.

“Let’s get in quickly. Even if there are plenty of seats, we need to buy popcorn just in case.”

“Yes, hurry up!”

I went into the movie theater.

I was trying to buy a ticket at an unmanned ticket machine, and there was a poster next to the machine.

[Couples using couple seats will receive an additional image board and photo card!]

Soon Rumi’s eyes also landed on the poster.

“Ugh!”

It makes strange noises and looks alternately at the poster and the machine.

Then he slowly turns his head and makes eye contact with me. Even without saying a word, you can feel the doctor in his bright eyes.

I have to give it a try here. Because I came here pretending to be an otaku.

“Rumi, would you like to take the couple’s seat? I heard they will give you an image board and photo card.”

“Oh, yes! Okay! Let’s take a couple’s seat!”

Tension rose sharply because we were seated as a couple.

Is that that good?

Anyway, I booked a couple’s ticket, bought some popcorn, and went into the movie theater.

“Are we the only male-female couple?”

“…Iknow, right.”

Surprisingly, all of the 10 couples’ seats lined up in a row were filled with male and female couples.

He’s also holding a strange glow stick, and why are there glow sticks in movie theaters?

Why do Rumi’s eyes light up when she sees that?

*

“Sobbing….”

“…don’t cry.”

Rumi seems really serious about the idol party.

He said that this was the last movie in the series, and he started sobbing about 10 minutes before it ended, and as he left the movie theater, tears were streaming down his face.

“Here, I’ll give you my card. Take this and do it.”

They showed me everything, including the card I received for a couple’s seat, a poster with basic perks, and coupons that could be used in the game.

“Mr. Hoyeon! You shouldn’t give something this valuable to someone else!”

“Take it when it is given to you. If you refuse, I will never give it to you again.”…

“I’m sorry… I want to refuse, but I want it so much… Black.”

Rumi takes care of everything even while crying. It looks like a cute puppy. If I had money, I would have bought more, but I even sponsored the orphanage, and I really don’t have the money.

“Let’s go have lunch together instead. I’m hungry.”

“Yes! I’ll take you to a delicious tteokbokki restaurant! Let’s go!”

Tteokbokki again? I don’t hate tteokbokki either, so let’s just go.

“Here! Here~!”

Rumi rushed to eat tteokbokki, but the place she was pointing to was a store called ‘Yeokjeon Grandpa Soju.’

“Rumi, no matter how you look at this, isn’t this a bar?”

“The tteokbokki here is so delicious. It’s famous even at Everyday!”

“Really? If so.”

I entered the store with Rumi. Jingling jingling.

“Welcome~ Are you two?”

“yes.”

“I’ll guide you there~.”

We were guided to a corner seat for two.

“Here, please give me some beef brisket tteokbokki!”

“Yes, I received your order!”

“Is that the famous tteokbokki?”

“Yes! There was a lot of chaos at Everyday. I wanted to come too, but Lucy doesn’t like tteokbokki so…”

Oh, I can’t come alone because I don’t have any friends. There used to be a time when I had a hard time going to a restaurant alone, but now that I’ve gotten used to it, it’s actually easier.

Come to think of it, this is a bar, so I can’t come alone?

“Rumi, is there something you really wanted to try?”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

I feel burdened by Rumi’s bright gaze looking at me. Put it over there and it will make you unforgettable memories. It seems like a crime to say that.

“Well, it’s just something I’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t, so it would be nice to do it together now, right?”

“Aha, Hoyeon is so kind… But I’m still so excited!”

Hey, that’s it. The child is so kind and pure that it feels a bit awkward to say it out loud.

“Tteokbokki has arrived!”

Just then, a staff member brought us tteokbokki, and the topic naturally turned to that.

“Wow, wow, you’re thinking of putting chadol and tripe in tteokbokki!”

Rumi put the beef brisket, tripe, and rice cake together with chopsticks and put them in her mouth.

“Uhm~”

Shake your head from side to side. It’s like a dog pouring water.

Why do I think of dogs when I see Rumi? He doesn’t look like a puppy, but he does things like a puppy.

The corners of the mouth are rising, so it looks delicious. Doesn’t your head feel dizzy?

I was curious about the taste, so I picked up some and tried it.

“Wow, this is really delicious?”

“Yes, yes! It’s so delicious!”

Giblets that are savory and chewy without being stuffy, brisket with the aroma of fire as if it had been grilled once, and even chewy rice cakes. It’s really delicious.

“It really tastes like a drink.”

“Do you feel like drinking?”

“Yes, a glass of soju here tastes just right.”

“… Then, shall we order a drink?”

“Alcohol? I’m fine, are you good at drinking?”

“Actually, I’ve never had it before. Hehe.”

found. Unforgettable memories. If it was your first time learning how to drink, wouldn’t it be an unforgettable memory? I wonder if it would be okay to teach such an innocent child how to drink, but it is something he will have to learn someday. If you get caught by bad guys and get in trouble, I will protect you.

“Really? Then let’s try this opportunity together.”

“Yes, I like it!”

Ding dong-

“Boss! Please bring me two bottles of soju here!”

“Yes~”

But, isn’t soju too much for a child learning to drink for the first time?

“Boss, please bring me a bottle of grapefruit soju!”

I remember hearing somewhere that women like fruit soju. One bottle was replaced with grapefruit soju.

Drinks and glasses were served, and I poured soju for Rumi.

I also got a drink from Rumi. It felt strange because it was my first time receiving alcohol from a pretty woman.

It’s so touching to think that the day will come when I get to steal a woman’s breasts instead of looking at a man’s dull face while receiving soju.

“Now, after tasting it, toast with a glass of soju and eat it. Ta-da.”

“braided!”

Gulp, gulp.

“Big.”

The first drink I drank after being possessed in this world. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I ate it, but it’s so bitter.

It may be because Lee Ho-yeon’s body has never drank alcohol.

In front of him, Rumi couldn’t even empty his glass halfway.

“Ugh, it’s too bitter. Ugh.”

“Eat some tteokbokki. And next time, I’ll follow it with this. This will be a bit sweet.”

“Yes… but this is too bitter so I can’t eat it…”

“Give it to me, I’ll eat it.”

I picked up Rumi’s glass and took a shot of the half remaining soju.

“Well, that’s what I drank after joining the army…”

“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s a shame to hear that you can’t drink it.”

“Gwae, it’s okay.”

Yum

With red cheeks, Rumi took a bite of the tteokbokki and brought it to her mouth.

“Hmm, would you like to try grapefruit soju? It’ll be really good.”

Normally, when things get awkward for a moment, you just have to drink one more drink and it goes away.

“Yes. Please pour me a drink.”

Rumi is staring at the soju bottle and glass like a general going into battle.

It’s pointless to waste just having a glass of soju.

Rumi drank grapefruit soju and I drank just soju and toasted again.

braided!

Gulp, gulp.

“Well, it’s a little bitter, but it’s sweet and worth eating.”

“Thank goodness. It’s a good thing I ordered that one.”

“But they say you get drunk when you drink alcohol. When do I get drunk?”

“It varies from person to person. Doesn’t it make you feel better or your face gets hot?”

“Ugh… There is no such thing, Gatundeng…”

Rumi placed her hand on her forehead and muttered.

It seems to me that my tongue is already twisted. Mr. Rumi.

“I’m sure I drank well, but I’ll have another drink!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to drink it a little slower?”

“braided!”

*

“Ugh….”

“I told you to drink slowly.”

“Kwaaeng… my head hurts….”

pat pat

After leaving the bar, he is slowly patting Rumi’s back in the middle of the street.

When I tried to drink it slowly, I drank 5 cups in a row and it completely disappeared.

If the alcohol is weak like this, you will usually feel your face getting hot, your head hurting, or anything else, but is it the heroine’s inevitable fate to get drunk easily?

“I’m sleepy….”

“No, if you fall asleep here, your mouth will turn. Rumi, Rumi?”

“Uh oh….”

Slurp. I put my arm between Rumi’s armpits and lifted her up.

Even if I shake it here and there, it doesn’t seem to get up.

“Ugh….”

“…It went the right way.”

It was completely ruined. I can’t leave this here, what should I do?

“….”

A brightly lit sign appeared a block ahead.

[Grand Motel]

“I can’t help it. Yes, I can’t help it.”

I really can’t help it. really.
