episode_0084

Do you remember the bench where Oh Yoon-ah and I spent time together before? Surprisingly, the space was recycled and transformed into a place for Choi Da-in and me.

While I was dazed by this unexpected meeting, Da-in Choi immediately stood up and hugged me, expressing her joy. No matter how much the status of teacher and student is, isn’t it too extreme for a relationship between a man and a woman?

“Our Jiuni~~ You look more handsome from the outside~?”

“Hey.. aren’t you very welcoming, sir?”

“What? I’m heavy!? They’re just pointing out that I’ve gained weight! I’m already worried because I’m over 50kg!!”

It was Choi Da-in, who gave his own answer to a foolish question and tightened his arms even more. Since there was no sign of communication, I had no choice but to shift my gaze to the school nurse who was still sitting on the bench.

“This is his third can of this.”

“I see.”

Health teacher Minah Han pointed to her beer can and extended three fingers. In other words, Choi Da-in, who is weak at drinking, must have gone out of his mind after downing three cans of beer.

“Hehehe… Jiwoon’s back has become stronger~~”

“Why don’t we sit down and talk first?”

“Sear!! Jiwoon said I was heavy, so I’m going to punish him! Keep standing!!”

“If I stand, the teacher must also continue to stand, right?”

“Ugh… I don’t like that again…”

Now, a normal question and answer was going on, as if I could hear what I was saying. Of course, it was a conversation that wouldn’t be strange no matter how and when it erupted. It wasn’t because of me, but of course it was Choi Da’s fault who got drunk from beer.

In any case, this ambiguous stalemate had to be prevented as quickly as possible. To some, doesn’t it seem like a forbidden love between a teacher and a student? Health teacher Han Min-ah was still watching us, so the urgent priority was to get Choi Da-in back on the bench.

“And I think you misheard me earlier, but I never said it was heavy. Rather, you are too light?”

“Lie!! Jiwoon is so sly that I can’t trust him!!”

“It’s true. How can I make you believe me?”

“I will believe you if you come and go while holding me!”

It was Choi Da-in, who made an embarrassing request with a bright red face. Well, it’s not difficult to lift the largest number of people, but isn’t carrying the princess in your arms instead of a support or piggyback something something we shouldn’t do between us?

Following Choi Da-in’s command, I quietly looked at Han Min-ah. I sent a simple Morse code message with my eyes that said, ‘How the fuck should I do this, teacher?’ and as if she understood, Minah Han got up from the bench and started to approach us.

As expected, it seemed like he himself was trying to stop him. Isn’t excessive physical contact between teachers and students a big social problem? No matter how much of a worldview you had, there was no way you could put your homeroom teacher in the category of a heroine.

“If you don’t think you can lift it, should I help you? I don’t think Dain will know if I help him just a little bit.”

“….Yes?”

For a moment, I thought I had heard something wrong and had to brush out my ears. However, rather than stopping Choi Da-in, Han Min-ah was actually encouraging him to get involved. He must have misunderstood my glance, but I only asked him to stop this situation, and I never asked him to help me lift Choi Da-in.

“Woossii… Min, you’re out! Jiwoon can tidy up by himself!?”

“What should I do with this? Dain said that’s the case? After all, I have no choice but to go on like this, Ji-woon?”

Looking closely, Han Min-ah also had a blush on her cheeks. Although it may not be as much as the maximum number, it is clear that the person is intoxicated to some extent. In other words, I created a terrible situation where I sought help from a less drunk person to shake off the drunkard.

What should I do with this? Okay, whatever, just do whatever you want, whatever. It may be a little awkward later, but it’s something you brought on yourself.

“Wow~~ I really heard this!!”

“As expected, Jiwoon has great strength.”

“Do you want to be like this at school in the future? Then you won’t have to walk uphill with sore legs!”

“Teacher It looks like you want to quit quickly, teacher.”

Choi Da-in revealed his ambition while drunk, but that was the quickest way for you and me to be socially buried. If you want to become a popular star in Inbyeol in one day, give it a try.

Anyway, as I lifted it in an embarrassing position, I had to go around the driving course until Choi Da-in was satisfied. The combination of Choi Da-in, who was excited, me, who was not, and Han Min-ah, who was taking pictures of it with her smartphone, was truly spectacular.

“Whoa~ It was fun… Thank you, Jiuna~”

“Ughkkk… Don’t you think that if Dain sends this to you tomorrow you won’t have to go to school?”

“As expected, you encouraged me to make fun of me..”

According to the setting, Choi Da-in and Han Min-ah were alumni who graduated from the same university, and although the times were different, they entered the same school and had a close relationship. Maybe that’s why we hung out together a lot on campus, and I remember we always went together when we ate meals.

My relationship with him was also very uneventful. Of course, we didn’t talk much, and all we did was say hello a few times whenever we passed by. Not long after I met Hongseol, he got injured after hitting a granite and went to get treatment for it. That was probably their first meeting.

“Look at this. Did it come out well?”

“It came out well. So stupid.”

“Oh my, is it okay to just call my homeroom teacher stupid?”

“If you don’t want to hear this, you can’t show up drunk in front of students.”

“That too.”

It was Han Min-ah who immediately recognized it. First of all, it was the teacher’s responsibility to maintain a basic distance from students and maintain communication. To be honest, the current Choi Da-in is very far from that.

Now that I think about it, Han Mina seemed quite drunk a little while ago, but after the commotion was over, she seemed to be completely back to normal. Those bright, bright eyes. It’s not like he suddenly sobered up, but he was just pretending to be drunk for fun.

“What, did you notice? Should I have acted a little more drunk?”

“I didn’t see it that way, but you are really evil.”

“If he’s drunk, I need to come to my senses too. If two young, pretty women are walking around drunk at night like this, they are the best targets in many ways.”

Han Min-ah was very naturally referred to as ‘pretty’, but there was no way to refute that statement. In Lubko’s worldview, female teachers were important figures that could never be defeated. The same goes for Choi Da-in and Han Min-ah, women who boast beauty that even heroines should be quite nervous about.

“Let’s talk about something together! Jiwoon, are you cheating on me!?”

“Can you please come to your senses, teacher…”

“Oh, I thought of something fun.”

Han Min-ah, who suddenly showed a bright smile, suddenly grabbed my hand and held it in front of Choi Da-in as if showing off. At the same time, he made a sinister face as if he had stolen something, and his acting skills were on a level comparable to that of Geum Taeyang.

“Da-in, if you don’t sober up, will Ji-woon take me with you?”

“I’m sober! So Ji-woon can’t take him with him!”

“Lie~ If you keep lying, it’s really just the two of us, leaving you alone…”

“Sobered up. Let go, you bitch.”

“Oh my… the reaction is much harsher than I expected…”

Soon, Choi Da-in’s face, which was red as if it were a lie, began to gush out with murder. Then, he smiled brightly as usual, but the moment I sobered up, I saw Choi Da-in’s murderous face, so I couldn’t say anything easily.

“Ji-woon? Why do you keep walking away from the teacher?”

“It looks like you’re not sober yet. I just keep staying still.”

“I’m almost sober? Don’t you think you’re definitely moving away from me now?”

“It’s my mood, it’s my mood.”

In that way, we secured enough space to fit one person between Choi Da-in and me. This was exactly the safe distance. I don’t know why, but I felt an unknown power from Choi Da-in, and because of this, the genre could change to royal tomb at any time.

“But if I go there, won’t I get too close to Minah? Does Ji-woon like Mina better than me, his homeroom teacher?”

“Oh my, you should be embarrassed. But that can’t be helped, Dain. Health teachers are usually popular with male students.”

“Really, Ji-woon?”

“It can’t be. Of all the teachers, my favorite is of course my homeroom teacher, Choi Da-in.”

I had no choice but to narrow the distance I had widened again and approach Da-in Choi. For some reason, as the distance grew, the surrounding air began to shatter, and as the distance narrowed, it was restored to its original state.

I wonder if this was just my mood, but unfortunately, three coincidences are inevitable. I don’t know why Choi Da-in felt the power that is usually found in heroines, but in any case, it seemed like at least some vigilance was necessary.

“Heeheehee.. Of course Jiwoon is the best! At first, I thought I was a really bad kid and lived with my heart pounding all the time, but now I don’t know why I did that?”

“Well.. there was a time when I was immature like that.”

It wasn’t that he was immature, it was just that he changed as a person.

“Plus, this midterm exam! A whopping top 45%! Who would have thought that Jiwoon, who came in last place on the placement test, would rise to 45% in one go!”

“It’s all thanks to my homeroom teacher, Dain Choi.”

“How can even speaking be so lovely…! Can I hug you just once, Ji-woon? That’s because it’s really lovely!”

“I was hugged enough when I was just drunk… Eup.”

I didn’t need a doctor either. Perhaps because the excitement from the alcohol had not yet worn off, Dain Choi held me in his arms once more and began stroking my hair.

Recently, not only my younger brother, but also my peers and seniors were acting like a fool, so it had been a long time since I felt cared for like this. Isn’t it truly a warm feeling to have someone pet you? Even Lee Ji-woon, the lonely golden sun, seemed to have missed this warmth sometimes.

“Whoa.. After all, Jiwoon is the only one, so I am!”

“I am the only teacher.”

“But you know, Ji-woon.”

“Yes.”

“Why do you smell like a woman?”

When I looked up at Choi Da-in’s horrifying words, I saw that her eyes had lost all life, just like Park Ha-eun. I have always half-jokingly said that the two of us are like sisters, but I never even thought that we would resemble each other in this way.

“Would you like to hear… a story? That too. many. detailed. I mean.”

Avoiding a wolf named Lee Ye-ji was like meeting a tiger named Choi Da-in.
