Episode.50 A Trick of Fate

ah. Something like alcohol.

This is why I don’t go to drinking parties unless I’m alone.

In the past, once the raid party was over, I got together with the guys and had a drink.

Since then, I don’t like going out drinking with many people.

What is the reason? From people who simply get drunk to people who cause trouble.

You can see many different types of people under the influence of alcohol.

Right now, this place is exactly like that.

Chaeyeon is asleep, stretched out on the mattress after two drinks.

This is very OK.

I’m still young and not old enough to be used to drinking.

I’m at an age where I shouldn’t drink in the first place.

And it’s so good that you fall asleep when you’re drunk.

You just have to keep going like this.

Adults are always the problem.

No, this can be said to be a difficult problem.

I thought things would go normally until Chaeyeon woke up.

But it was very wrong.

When adults drink, it’s not always like that… but sometimes, ego struggles arise due to drunkenness.

I couldn’t even remember how many bottles I had been drinking.

Seo-yoon is vomiting in the bathroom in the distance.

Yerim is bragging while trying to force herself to endure.

Harin is unstoppable.

Honestly, I think I’m at my limit now.

Everyone is nearing their breaking point, so why is Harin the only one who is fine?

What is it?

Since everyone is drunk, no one can use their own abilities to stop them from getting drunk, right?

If Chaewon hadn’t told me about purifying alcohol with heels, I would have missed it too.

Anyway, to understand this moment, we have to turn back time and go back to when we had our first drink.

“Okay, ta-da!”

Yerim was the first to raise her glass in front of her to make a toast.

Of course, the problem is that the drinking glass is made of paper.

We sat in a circle on the floor.

Ah, it’s like a university MT scene that I only saw on a video media site called Yuxbra.

I didn’t go to university.

Because it’s a hunter.

Still, drinking parties are a bit awkward.

Anyway, we recognized the gesture of toasting and everyone held out their paper cups.

– Tuk.

“Because it is alcohol consumed in a paper cup, the sound of the toast is not refreshing.”

Soon, everyone tilted their paper cups toward their throats.

The bitter taste of chemicals that I was not yet familiar with began to permeate my tongue.

A cold liquid that seems to seep into the esophagus.

Someone said the alcohol was sweet.

‘Isn’t this a lie?’

【I guess it’s because you live an easy life.】

When life is bitter, alcohol is sweet.

Have I experienced the bitter taste of life yet?

Is there still a long way to go before becoming an adult?

‘I don’t like alcohol. ‘If I can’t drink, does that mean I can’t become an adult?’

【I guess all people with bad livers have the Peter Pan syndrome and are bad adults.】

Even if you can’t drink alcohol, that’s okay. It’s okay to drink well.

What is important is the atmosphere of the place.

-Tap!

Yerim hit the paper drinking glass hard on the floor.

The sound made by the bottom of the paper cup hitting the floor was pleasant.

“Wow… Even though it’s my second drink since becoming an adult, it’s really sweet… Is there anyone who has a harder life than me?”

“Are you drunk already? Getting drunk just by smelling alcohol is serious.”

Yerim ignored my words as if she was shocked.

“Now, one more drink!”

And she immediately picked up a soju bottle and filled each person’s empty glass.

“Child, do you have no conscience? Why am I the only one with a full glass?”

“You’re a man, right? There has to be a handicap like this.”

【No matter what… everyone else is only half full.】

“You seem like such a sexist-”

“Come on, if you have time to refute, let’s drink it quickly!”

This time, everyone but me gave a quick toast.

Oh, I was going to pass some of my overflowing drink to Yerim while toasting.

It’s unfortunate, but is there anything we can do?

I couldn’t take one shot… I just drank a little bit.

“Woo… Sister, brother. I’m sleepy…”

Chaeyeon’s eyes began to gradually close.

After being outside in the cold, I came inside a warm room and drank alcohol in the artificially warm wind… so this can be said to be a natural result.

“Really? Then, I’ll just close my eyes on the mattress over there for a moment.”

Chaeyeon got under the blanket.

In less than a minute, my eyes will close completely.

Some time passes, and three drinks.

no? Three bottles.

This space was filled with the smell of alcohol.

I have to open the window to ventilate later, and it gets cold.

After all, I wasn’t into drinking or anything like that.

“Ugh, ah…”

Seo-yoon remained silent and her face remained pale.

I could see in his eyes that he couldn’t keep still, as if it was difficult for him to keep up with our pace.

“Seo Yoon, if you’re tired, stop drinking-”

“What?! Is it difficult?! already?! Who, this is so weak! Are you still a man? Take the Pali drink!”

Yerim’s drunken voice seemed to pierce the ceiling.

【Why is my tongue like that?】

“No, I’m not. That’s what I said.”

At this point, I also became a little dazed and had hiccups in the middle of speaking, which was difficult.

In order not to be noticed that I was drunk, I held back the sound of hiccuping and spoke.

“Ha, Lina, you’re speechless. Are you okay?”

When I saw Harin, she was only moving her mouth.

The shape of the mouth was gaping.

What should I say, while singing.

Just like a person lip-syncing, only the mouth moves and no sound is heard.

Maybe it’s because I’m too drunk.

Obviously, the system may be subject to a debuff such as ‘drunk’ or something like that.

Anyway, I’ll have to ask Chaewon what she’s trying to convey.

‘Huh…what did Harin say?’

【Oh, are you still in your right mind? Well, you only drank 3 bottles. Excluding Chaeyeon, there are four of us including you. It’s like you can’t even drink one bottle per person, right? The alcohol is too weak.】

‘No, I’m having a really hard time so don’t make me say it twice…’

【Hmph, that’s not fun. That white-haired woman doesn’t say anything.】

“What? Then what are you doing, squealing like a baby fish?…”

“What? Are you flirting with me? I’m a drunkard!”

【No, it seems like he’s muttering something softly… I’ll listen and come back. Uh, but I don’t think that’s what you just said in your head?】

“Oh, my.”

‘I accidentally took it out verbally.’

Still, no one could catch the strange part, perhaps because everyone was drunk.

I think it’s because the current situation is so messed up.

“Um, hey… Where is the bathroom?”

Still, Seoyun, who seemed to be in her right mind, asked me where the bathroom was.

Seoyoon jumps up from her seat and shakes her feet.

“If I open the door right behind you, I will come out.”

-Tap! widely! widely! widely!

– Jump up!

– Wow…

‘Is Seoyun now at her limit?’

I can’t believe I vomited.

Still, if you vomited in the toilet, you must be sane.

How did you not vomit on the floor?

“Ugh… Ah, as much as possible! Because one person just happened to leave…”

Yerim dragged the bag that Seoyoon had brought towards where she was sitting and took out three soju bottles from it.

“Our Seoyuni… Huh? I bought a total of 6 bottles? Coincidentally, Inumsu and Namunbyeong… Ugh, and Innumsu… are the same. Let’s drink the whole bottle.”

【If you can’t even drink alcohol, what kind of guts did you have to buy 6 bottles?】

‘A housewarming gift, I guess.’

【No, you said you came here for work, right? Have you finally gone crazy too?】

‘what? Boobs? Ha… is it really you again? Damn that bitch ghost?’

【… I’ll just listen to what that woman mumbles.】

Chaewon escaped from me and flew next to Harin.

‘Hey, your butt is so big, how can you fly?’

【bad guy. Were you looking at me like that?!】

A green glass bottle came into my field of vision.

“Now, you too, the sea.”

“What kind of sea is this winter… Oh, take it?”

“If you know, hurry up and bard!”

So Yerim, me, and Harin started drinking soju from the bottle.

One sip, two sips, three sips.

A long hour passed before I took three sips.

【Um… this woman. You keep ‘healing’ yourself?】

‘what? Cowardly… Someone says the world is spinning right now…’

Anyway, here we go and drink and this is the story so far.

And the story returns to the beginning.

I couldn’t even remember how many bottles I had been drinking.

Because honestly, I’m not good at drinking. I am forcing myself to endure it.

Seo-yoon is vomiting in the bathroom in the distance.

I’ve been throwing up all day.

When I saw him vomiting so passionately, as if he was showing signs of dehydration, I started to envy him.

Yerim is bragging while trying to force herself to endure.

Because the speed at which I drink alcohol is becoming slower and slower.

Harin is unstoppable by using her abilities.

‘… Oh, I guess I’ll have to ask you to use my abilities too.’

I started crawling little by little to where Harin was sitting.

She was sitting quite discreetly and seemed to have noticed me approaching.

The three of us each emptied half of our soju bottles.

Seeing that it isn’t decreasing any further, I guess the end is near.

“Hey… Fuck Han Si-woo… Do your job properly… Eunbyeol is having a hard time because of you!”

Yerim says things she will regret when she sobers up.

【When you wake up, be sure to ask Eunbyeol about her condition… No, I will make a note of it. How are you really going to live without me? There really is no such wise mother and good wife. When you die, be sure to marry me.】

‘I guess I’ll get married…’

I grabbed Harin’s shoulder and tried to ask her.

My vision is blurring.

It felt like I was looking into the sea water where light was refracted.

Maybe that’s why I made a mistake.

I was so drunk that I couldn’t understand what was right or wrong, and I ended up causing a disaster.

– Tup.

“Harin, please heal me-”

“Da, you?! If you suddenly do this…”

I tightened my hands.

I tried to hold his shoulder tightly and use it as support, but the shoulder I was holding felt a little strange.

It’s an unfamiliar tactile sensation.

‘Chaewon. Were your shoulders originally this soft and soft?’

【It’s not your shoulder, so stop fiddling with it.】

“Uwaeeek.”

Yerim vomited.

where?

ah.

That crazy bitch overexerted herself and vomited on the floor.

When I saw that, I immediately felt like I had drunk a hangover drink.

He said he sobered up.

‘I don’t know if he woke up from shock, or if Harin healed him… I don’t know.’

I saw Harin again.

“Ah…”

“Did you want to continue what you were doing earlier? But… the audience is a bit large.”

My hands kept kneading something.

【Stop messing around. It looks like you’re almost sober now. Please regain your senses.】

I definitely put my hand on his shoulder.

Why breasts?

“Ugh… Huh? Sisters, brother. What are you doing?”

It’s like a twist of fate.

Unfortunately, Chaeyeon saw that scene.

“Oppa, is it fun to touch that girl?”

Ah, I wanted to die.

This is why you need to stay away from alcohol.
