“But are you holding your reunion in a place like this?”

Seo Ye-rin looks up at a large passenger ship with her mouth open.

After all, the kind of reunion we think of is just grabbing a restaurant, making a group reservation, and having some drinks.

You may be wondering if such a lavish party can be called a class reunion.

“… … .”

Senior Joohee, who was next to me, also seemed a little surprised.

Seniors in particular seem to find this kind of extravagance somewhat unfamiliar.

“I don’t know either. It’s my first time.”

But this is my first time too.

“I knew it was a nice place to eat, but I didn’t know it would be this bad.”

As we approached to board, the security guards standing in front stopped us.

Senior Joo-hee’s response to that was quite plausible as she stepped forward.

“Only invited guests are allowed to enter.”

“I am the one who was invited.”

When I say my name, Kim Woo-jin, he looks through the list and then steps back.

“Excuse me, Mr. Kim Woojin.”

“No, no. It’s okay.”

If it were normal, I would have asked your name right away.

It seems like the reaction I got from the beginning was harsh because the clothes I was wearing were so out of sync with the atmosphere here.

As I entered, I was given a fluorescent bracelet, and I was told not to lose it because there was an event planned.

I even filled it out for my bodyguard, Senior Joo-hee, but hers was blue, a different color from ours.

“The prizes given out in places like this are definitely luxurious, so I’m tempted.”

When I asked with a smile, Senior Joohee opened her eyes wide and nodded with a grin.

Until just a moment ago, it really felt like I was here on business as a bodyguard.

As you spoke to me so casually, I was slowly returning to the relationship between our college seniors and juniors.

I also find this much more comfortable.

“If it’s a shipboard party, you should go out to the deck, right?”

Seo Ye-rin looking around.

We saw an arrow at the end of the hallway and headed in that direction.

The further you go in the direction of the arrow, the more the night wind blows.

Soon, we were able to reach the deck of the passenger ship.

A significant number of people, flashy lights, huge round tables, and food served buffet style.

It doesn’t stop there, there’s also a separate pool, and a stage and sound equipment are set up in the center, so they may have even invited a DJ.

In front of it there is a place where you can dance like in a club.

The guests, dressed in appropriate attire and decoration, were already excited even though the ship had not yet set sail.

This is the exact scene that the word ‘luxury’ would be portrayed as.

“Wow, I saw something like this in a movie. That, that one. Let’s Be, the one with Leonardo senior.”

“Let’s be coffee. It must be Gatsby. And you’re already a senior?”

“If you call Leonardo DiCaprio your senior, doesn’t it sound amazing?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Seo Ye-rin also laughed, saying it was a joke. She just found the party interesting and didn’t really want to join in.

“… … .”

While Seo Ye-rin was excited and excited, Joo-hee was frowning and didn’t seem to like the place very much.

“It seems like a waste of money.”

As I touched her elbow and laughed, Senior Joohee nodded with the corners of her lips raised forcibly.

“Yeah.”

It seemed like he had a little more to say.

“That’s a waste of money. People who make a lot of money usually want to show off how much money they have.”

“… … .”

“There’s no need to try to understand. They don’t try to understand us either.”

Just think that everyone has their own way of living. You don’t need to understand it, but you don’t need to force yourself to accept it either.

“It’s okay to just swear. It’s fucking bullshit.”

“Um, to be honest-.”

“Let me tell you?”

“Let me tell you?”

Seo Ye-rin and I both look at Senior Joo-hee with our eyes sparkling.

The senior hesitated, feeling embarrassed, and then confessed honestly.

“Do you feel like you want to smash everything?”

Seo Ye-rin and I burst into laughter at the same time at Joo-hee’s words.

I guess people’s feelings are similar.

Senior Joohee lifted the corners of her mouth slightly as she watched us laughing, then pointed to a corner.

There were people wearing black suits and blue bracelets, similar to Senior Joo-hee, eating simple snacks.

“The bodyguards can’t go any further than this. I’ll be watching you from over there, so go ahead and have fun.”

“If the boat doesn’t depart after 30 minutes, we’ll just turn back.”

Phew!

As soon as I finished speaking, the ship’s horn rang and the passenger ship began to depart, which made me sigh deeply.

Seo Ye-rin quickly links arms with Joo-hee as soon as she disappears.

It seems that since Senior Joohee and I had a strange feeling about each other before, he was aware of it.

‘Well, I’ve gotten it all out now.’

Me too, and my senior too.

I don’t think you really feel that way anymore. There were no problems on the way here today.

As we moved further out onto the ship, Seo Ye-rin whispered to me softly.

“While we were decorating earlier, Iseo and Arin told me to keep my words to a minimum.”

“Hmm?”

“At first, it was a bit like that. But since it’s Woojini’s class reunion, I’ll try my best.”

Then he pretends to close the zipper.

“Local deposit.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Seo Ye-rin’s performance of not saying anything.

“Hey, just tell me.”

Crackle crackle.

Although Seo Ye-rin’s shaking her head was cute, the reason she was asked to speak was for Seo Ye-rin’s own benefit.

Because I could already hear the murmurings loudly around me.

“Wow, you’re a model?”

“Aren’t you an actress? You look like an actress.”

“Which entertainment agency are you from? You’re crazy… … .”

“Ahhh! It’s that guy. He’s the guy who appeared as a supporting actor in the casino this time.”

“That thing that was in the casino trailer and made a fuss, but got cussed out after only a few seconds?”

“What’s next to you? Why are you wearing such a shabby outfit?”

“Do you have that much money?”

“Among the kids here, where is there anyone who doesn’t have money?”

“You touched her face 100 percent. Her chest is also clear. Oh my, how many times did you cut her with a knife?”

“Didn’t you say that too? But why are you like that?”

Noises heard around.

Seo Ye-rin also seemed to notice that and her complexion darkened slightly.

She was now the type of person who would not give in to such gossip, but she probably never imagined that she would hear such things in a place like this.

He takes her and moves towards the food.

“People are all the same wherever they live, right? If there’s someone who’s good, they get jealous, envious, and curse. It’s all the same.”

“… … .”

“If you keep your mouth shut, those kinds of things will only get louder. I don’t want to hear it, and I don’t want you to hear it even more.”

therefore.

“Let’s talk. You’re the only person I want to be with, talk to, and hang out with.”

When I handed her a buffet plate with a smile, Seo Ye-rin accepted it with a touched expression.

“Yeah! Okay! Don’t worry about the people around you and let’s play together!”

And we started chatting while we were packing up the food.

The surrounding noise was still there, but we were so absorbed in our conversation that we soon couldn’t hear it.

Put the food on the table and sit down at an empty table.

There was also wine, but since alcohol was strictly forbidden today, I declined both.

“Wow, it’s delicious!”

Seo Ye-rin banged the table while eating buffet food.

When I saw the smile that naturally formed on the corner of the mouth, it really was a shape that suited my taste.

I tried a few and it is definitely not an ordinary quality food.

“It’s a buffet, so eat a lot. You have to get really high.”

“I can’t eat much because I’m wearing a dress.”

“Still, fill it up as much as possible. It’s not easy to eat something like this.”

At my words, Seo Ye-rin puts the fork in her mouth and looks regretful.

“I wish the kids had eaten it too.”

It would have been great if Choi Yi-seo and Yoo Ah-rin had come too.

I felt like the food alone was worth coming here for.

“You can just let them experience it indirectly.”

I put my hand into the crossbody bag I brought from the dorm earlier.

The moment I was about to confidently say that it wasn’t for nothing that I suggested going to the dorm.

“Mr. Woojin, you’re here.”

“Huh.”

Two people came towards us.

One was Choi Jin-ah, with her platinum blonde hair braided and wearing an elegant dress.

Another one was a rather exotic looking handsome man with white skin like a Caucasian but brown eyes.

“You came. I told you to come.”

“Hello, I saw you at the filming set last time.”

Seo Ye-rin also got up right away and greeted me quietly. It was clear that her mother had raised Seo Ye-rin well.

In terms of manners, there is nothing to find fault with.

While Choi Jin-ah and Seo Ye-rin were briefly exchanging greetings, a man stared at me while I was eating steak.

“Partner?”

When I asked Choi Jin-ah a question, she waved her hand and replied.

“James. Our classmate James.”

“James? What an English name. Were there any foreigners on our side? Hi, why are you from?”

When I asked James, he gritted his teeth and answered me.

“Korea.”

“You can speak Korean? Sorry, sorry.”

“If you know Korean, why are you apologizing in English?”

It’s so fucking weird to think of it like an American mind.

“Sorry.”

“This guy-!”

James was about to shout as if he was upset about something.

No, but was there really a kid named James?

Even though it happened when I was in elementary school, I don’t remember it at all.

“Was it a different class?”

“I was in the same class as you from 1st grade to 6th grade, Kim Woojin.”

Even they know my name.

“Hmm, do you have any anecdotes or anything? I need to remember them so I can greet you properly.”

Even I thought about it and felt a bit shameless and rude.

Anyway, you won’t be seeing the things here often.

James responded to my question with a grin.

“Remember when you sold fake cards?”

“About?”

“At that time, you said it was a legendary card and put it up for auction, and I bought it for 50,000 won.”

“… … Auction?”

Oh, I think I remember.

“And then I was playing with kids from other schools and they made fun of me for using fake cards! When I asked for a refund, you-!”

“Ah …

I remembered!

I remembered!

“Bonggeun! It’s been a while!”

“James! My name is James!”

“Wow, Bonggeun! Dude, how long has it been! Thanks to you, my elementary school life has been so rich!”

I was so happy that I tried to hug him, but he pushed my chest.

“Shoot up! It’s James!”

“Okay, Bonggeuns. You came at a good time. Jinah, come and get this too.”

What I was trying to do earlier was interrupted by the kids.

Rather, it is fortunate that the number of hands has increased.

I took out a Lock&Lock container from my bag and handed it out to Jinah and Bonggeun.

“Come here with me and pack some food. I have some kids I want to pack and share with.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

It was strangely frustrating to see them both looking down at the Lock & Lock container with blank expressions.

“Let’s go quickly. If the boat owner finds out, he’ll say something about you packing food.”

“Mr. Woojin.”

Choi Jin-ah awkwardly glares at Bong-geun.

“James is the party host.”

“… … .”

A moment of silence.

Seo Ye-rin next to me just pretended not to see me and ate her food diligently.

I scratched my cheek a few times and then handed the Lock&Lock container to Bonggeun.

“Please pack that for me when I leave, Bonggeun-ah.”

“fuck you.”

You’re really good at swearing.
