Chapter Index

    Time passes and it’s Monday.

    “Oh, over here!”

    In front of the bus stop.

    Seo Ye-rin waves her hand and welcomes me home from work.

    Next to them, Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo were also standing dressed to go out and play.

    “Did that kid really wear that to work?”

    “It must be okay because it seems like you’re doing well.”

    He’s still wearing his red suit because he just got off work.

    Honestly, at first I thought it was a bit too flashy, but now I find it wearable.

    Don’t you feel like you’re a villain in a drama?

    “Oh, it’s cold.”

    In the chilly weather, I ran over and hugged Yu Ah-rin, who was in front of me.

    “What?!”

    “It’s so cold. Ah, it’s warm.”

    He seemed a little flustered when I suddenly hugged him, but I don’t think he hates it.

    Rather, it feels good to lean against it slightly.

    “Arin, did you eat strawberries today? It kind of smells like strawberries?”

    “I had a strawberry smoothie with the kids earlier- Hey! Don’t smell like Jeongsu-ri!”

    “It smells good, so that’s why. But it’s cold, so why are you eating sweet potatoes?”

    “It’s delicious!”

    While I was hugging him tightly and rubbing my face against the back of his head, the other two people were staring at me.

    “Look at the people around you.”

    “Woojina! Wouldn’t it be much warmer if I were more voluptuous? Arin seems to be getting windy.”

    “Hey, let go of this. I’ll kill that bitch!”

    He stops Yoo Ah-rin from rushing towards Seo Ye-rin by holding on to her tighter.

    Seo Ye-rin is hiding behind Choi Yi-seo and glaring at Yoo Ah-rin.

    “But should we take the bus?”

    I ask, ignoring the grumbling that has become familiar now.

    Choi Yi-seo and the other two responded without paying much attention.

    “No, I have to take the car. I called in advance.”

    “You called a car? Then I should have asked our security team.”

    “No, I had someone with me.”

    I was wondering what he meant, but I quickly figured it out.

    The sound of a bike engine coming from far away.

    A bike that looks obviously expensive and a sports car following behind it.

    Both were familiar objects.

    Two people stopped in front of us.

    Senior Joohee, who was riding a bike, took off her helmet and said.

    “One person rides behind me. The rest get in the car.”

    The bike that senior Joo-hee rode at the last class reunion and the sports car that Oh Yoon-ji drives.

    Of course, Oh Yoon-ji was holding the steering wheel.

    “Are you and Yoonji going too?”

    When I asked about this because I had no idea about it, Senior Joohee sighed.

    “Kang Han-gang still had a good impression on the kids. Most of the third graders went, so I decided to go too.”

    “Why is Oh Yoon-ji involved?”

    A guy waving his hand through the window.

    “Han Kang asked me to bring some first graders too.”

    Surprisingly, Han River still has quite a bit of influence on the English department.

    Well, I can understand it a little when I think back to the past when he tried to send me to hell with just a few words.

    If you look at it, it seems like there were some female students who secretly had the Han River in mind.

    “So who’s gonna ride the bike?”

    “Me! I want to ride!”

    Yoo Ah-rin immediately steps forward.

    I thought he’d like that kind of thing, so he quickly went and put on a helmet.

    The remaining people are trying to get into Oh Yoon-ji’s car.

    “Hey, there’s only one front row.”

    It was the same last time, but there was only one seat. I was wondering what to do, but Oh Yoon-ji pointed to the space behind where light luggage could be placed.

    “Just lie down there and go.”

    “That’s illegal! You crazy bitch.”

    “You don’t put people in the trunk. They just sit in the back.”

    I’m the biggest one… … .

    My words didn’t quite convince them, and I ended up lying down on the light luggage side.

    Her legs stick out and stretch towards the passenger seat, and Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo, who are sitting on top of each other, playfully touch each other.

    “Kim Woojin, I guess you started working out again recently. You’re so strong.”

    “Yeah, I’m doing it again these days. It’ll come off quickly after resting a bit – Aah! Don’t pull out your hair, Seo Ye-rin!”

    “Hehehe.”

    Why are you suddenly plucking out your leg hair?

    “Let’s go. Fasten your seatbelts.”

    “Where is the seat belt here?”

    “I can’t do it because of my legs.”

    “Move your legs to the side a little.”

    Two people I can’t kick because I have my legs on the seat belt side.

    After barely pushing my leg out, we both put on our seat belts.

    “, my heart is crushed!”

    “I can’t breathe.”

    They both made a sound of effort, but Oh Yoon-ji elegantly put on her sunglasses and stepped on the accelerator.

    * * *

    Arrived at the pension.

    It was bigger than I thought, and it even had a pool, so I thought they must have spent quite a bit of money.

    I understand that you usually get paid more when you add more people, but is that taken into account?

    Anyway, the parking lot was quiet as we were the only guests.

    However, there were cars parked even in the quiet parking lot.

    Both of the cars that stood out were not easily seen.

    “Huh? What the? That’s my car.”

    Even one of them was my car.

    This is the Porsche I received as a prize at the class reunion.

    I lent it to Choi Jin-ah to drive around for a while.

    “Jin-ah, is she here too?”

    When I asked Senior Joohee, who had parked her bike, she nodded.

    “I can’t leave him alone.”

    That’s true too.

    I don’t know what might happen if I leave Choi Jin-ah alone in the dorm.

    ‘Then who is the other one?’

    First of all, it was a car that looked much more expensive than a Porsche.

    I don’t know much about tea types, but I heard that the less people know about a brand, the more expensive it is.

    Maybe this is something like that too?

    As we passed the parking lot and headed toward the pension building, there were already quite a few people drinking.

    The idiots stuck in between.

    Han Kang and Pyo Jin-ho each had a woman of considerable stature holding her in their arms.

    Jeong Chan-woo is surrounded by such women, and finally, Ahn Hyun-ho is caught by his girlfriend, Lee Gyu-ah.

    What is this situation?

    A landscape that resembles a forest of wild boars.

    A person who made incomprehensible scenes understandable caught my eye.

    “Bonggeun?”

    Bong Geun talking with Choi Jin Ah while sitting at an outdoor table.

    I know he called the guy, and he also asked Han River to call a lot of pretty women… … .

    ‘Isn’t that too much?’

    I never imagined I would have called this many people.

    Even the alcoholic beverages provided seem to be somewhat difficult for college students to drink.

    It was clear that Bong Geun had prepared it.

    “Hey, Kim Bong-geun!”

    “This is Lee Bong-geun. My name is James.”

    I leave the kids and run to him alone and yell.

    “What is this, Bonggeun? No, what are you going to do if you turn a college student drinking party into a chaebol family night?”

    “No, I said it was a party. I knew you could do this much. Han Kang called and asked for some help.”

    I knew I had become friendly with some idiots after eating omakase last time.

    I never thought we would keep in touch separately.

    “I said I was going to throw a party with a Gatsby feel. I prepared it that way on purpose. I didn’t know it would be held in such a shabby place.”

    Rather, Bonggeun looked a bit aggrieved.

    I prepared according to my own standards, but I ended up at a pension that looked like a college student MT.

    “Haa, what are all the ladies doing.”

    They all seem like they might have some sort of model background.

    Even the races were diverse, so they were a very multinational bunch.

    “Please call more women… … .”

    “What are you doing?”

    “That’s why I called you! No, can’t you do this much for your brothers who are about to go protect the country?”

    Look at this kid.

    “Then are you going to the military?”

    “I’m a US citizen so I don’t have to go to the military.”

    “This fucking bastard?!”

    “That’s why I told you to call me James every day, not Bonggeun!”

    Is that how it’s connected?

    “To begin with, James is mixed race.”

    Choi Jin-ah added with a smile.

    It’s a bit different from the late night snack mate I know, Choi Jin-ah.

    It’s a bit strange that I’m drinking white wine instead of soju.

    anyway.

    “So you told the girls to tease the hyungs?”

    “Ugh.”

    Bong Geun’s expression hardened as if he had been caught. No matter how popular the two of them are, it doesn’t make sense for them to be hanging out with model-like women like that.

    It must have been Bong Geun who gave the orders to the women.

    Since I’m going to the army tomorrow anyway, don’t worry about the consequences and just dream.

    Anyway, all rich kids think the same way.

    anyway.

    It’s only 2 o’clock, but the atmosphere is already exciting.

    Maybe it was because the weather was chilly, but seeing everyone enjoying themselves made me feel strangely sad.

    ‘At least you’re not drinking.’

    I heard he’s going to be a bit more restrained since he’s enlisting tomorrow, but he’s not drinking too much.

    “Haa, where is our room.”

    If that’s the case, there won’t be any serious conversations about friendship between men.

    When I asked him why I wanted to just stay in my room with the kids and play, Bonggeun gave me a card key from the table.

    “You said there were no reservations today, so I just rented them all. Go into any room you want.”

    “You really have a lot of money.”

    “What does the youngest member of the space group have to say?”

    “Shut up! Go back to your country!”

    After getting really annoyed, I take the kids into the biggest room.

    Before going in, I glanced at the guys playing with the girls one last time, and many thoughts came to my mind.

    “Wow! It’s warm!”

    “Oh, the heater is on in here.”

    “Should I bring a few bottles of alcohol from outside?”

    The three of us entered the room.

    Oh Yoon-ji and Joo-hee stayed behind to take care of Jin-ah.

    This will be my first time meeting Bong-geun, but will we be able to communicate well?

    I hope he doesn’t say anything stupid because his mind is a bit strange.

    We sat around a blanket in the middle. It was definitely a nice, simple atmosphere, unlike the noisy outside.

    “Hey, did you see this?”

    “What is it? It’s so cute?”

    “Let’s raise a puppy like this later!”

    While I was watching the three of them chatting away while looking at their phones, I quietly started writing something down on my phone.

    I had a lot of thoughts while watching the two people enlisting tomorrow, so I wanted to organize them.

    “What are you doing, Woojina?”

    Has it been about 30 minutes?

    Seo Ye-rin came up to me, fidgeting.

    I answered, quickly covering my phone.

    “Hmm, writing a bucket list?”

    “What bucket list?”

    I wonder if it was because my interest was piqued.

    Aside from Seo Ye-rin, the other two people also looked in my direction.

    This is a bit tricky.

    I was using it secretly because I thought it would make the kids feel lonely.

    But even if I say it’s nothing now, they’ll come up with the story anyway.

    I decided to just be honest.

    “I’ll be getting my warrant soon, too. So I wrote down some things I want to do before I go.”

    “Ah.”

    Aren’t you a South Korean man?

    If you are physically healthy, you have a duty to serve in the military.

    They say that sons of wealthy families avoid military service, but my family is different.

    My younger brother couldn’t go because he was too obese, but my older brother served in the Marine Corps.

    anyway.

    He said I would be gone for a year and six months.

    “It’s natural to go out, but it’s so hard to part with you guys.”

    As I opened my arms slightly with a wry smile, Seo Ye-rin quickly came and hugged me.

    The other two also quietly approached and stayed by my side.

    “How can we help you?”

    I tried to answer Seo Ye-rin’s question, but then closed my mouth again.

    “No, I just wrote it without any particular order. I’ll organize it and if there’s anything I can help you with later-.”

    “Hmm, staying up all night at the PC room.”

    Before I knew it.

    As I was getting tangled up, Yua Rin picked up my cell phone that was buried between the blankets and started reading the list.

    “Okay, wait a minute!”

    “Leash play with Choi Yi-seo.”

    “Kim Woojin behind.”

    “Hey! Don’t read that!”

    I rushed to Yoo Ah-rin in a hurry, but Seo Ye-rin was quicker and hugged me.

    “Keep reading!”

    “Harass Seo Ye-rin until she begs to stop.”

    “Wow!”

    What the fuck.

    Shame is creeping in.

    It feels like the diary I wrote while fiddling around is being shown to others.

    “Yu Ah-rin outdoor exposure sex. What the hell, you punk! Why is this the only thing!?”

    But there is something normal behind it.

    Last time I messed up my bike trip, went camping, got gold in a game, learned guitar, etc.

    As it went on, the kids laughed and said it wasn’t bad because the content was good.

    ‘Oh, shit.’

    The first one I wrote.

    Sweat was running down my back, afraid that I would be caught.

    Because it would be ruined the moment it was discovered.

    “Hey, guys. Stop it now-.”

    “What is this… … .”

    Yoo Ah-rin, her eyes wide open, grits her teeth and glares at me as she asks.

    “Is going to a hotel together on your bucket list?”

    “Ahem.”

    I got caught anyway.

    “To be honest, even though it may be vulgar.”

    Let’s just charge forward.

    “I want to eat all three at the same time.”
