199 – 193. A Or B

“Sigh, let’s go outside and talk. We won’t be able to talk here.”

“Okay, sunbae.”

An Hyeon-ho and Gyu-ah left, probably thinking we were in the way.

I was a little disappointed because I was enjoying listening to their conversation, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that.

“There’s an empty seat.”

Yoo Ah-rin, who was sitting right across from me.

She put down the glass she was holding with a loud thud and looked at me.

“So. How am I supposed to take this situation right now?”

“Ah-rin, don’t misunderstand.”

“Yeah, I don’t misunderstand. So tell me. There must have been a really good reason why you were laughing and joking with your ex-girlfriend while eating meat in front of me.”

“…….”

I thought I’d come up with an excuse, but when it came down to it, nothing came to mind.

Was my ability to improvise this bad?

“Nothing? What are you going to do if there’s nothing?”

Yoo Ah-rin smiled eerily, as if she was really thinking about what to do with me.

I wanted to calm her down, but I didn’t know how.

“What does it matter?”

Oh Yoon-ji stared at Yoo Ah-rin and replied.

“Huh? What does it matter? You’re not even dating.”

“Ha.”

Yoo Ah-rin glared at Yoon-ji with a hollow laugh.

I thought we had become close after drinking together the other day, but I guess not.

More importantly.

“Hey, hey. Don’t fight, you two. The kids are all here. It’ll only cause trouble if you fight here.”

“How shameless.”

“I wasn’t going to drink, but I guess I’ll have to.”

Yoo Ah-rin continued to glare at me with her chin up, and Oh Yoon-ji ordered soju and started drinking.

The atmosphere was filled with tension.

When Yoo Ah-rin held out her glass, Oh Yoon-ji poured her a drink without saying anything.

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank as if they were fighting.

Both of them were pretty good at drinking, so I didn’t think it would be a long fight.

Before I knew it, I was grilling meat with tongs and watching them.

But I didn’t like the way the atmosphere was so gloomy.

“Shall I tell you a funny story?”

“Get lost.”

“Quiet.”

I tried to lighten the mood, but it failed.

“……It’s really funny.”

As I was grilling the meat with regret, the others approached us.

“Yoon-ji, you’re here! It’s been so long!”

“Yeah. I was really sad when you said you were taking a break in the first semester.”

The kids came to Oh Yoon-ji, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time, and started acting friendly.

Or maybe they were just being friendly.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time.”

Yoon-ji also continued the conversation without being too awkward or uncomfortable.

‘What the heck.’

I didn’t have a single close friend in the first semester of my freshman year because I was busy with Oh Yoon-ji, but she unexpectedly seemed to have a lot of connections with the other kids.

I looked at Oh Yoon-ji with a slight sense of betrayal, and Yoo Ah-rin kicked my knee with her toes under the table.

“I’m annoyed, Kim Woo-jin.”

My heart ached when I saw her mumbling and looking really upset.

“I’m sorry. Really.”

Yoo Ah-rin pouted when I apologized sincerely and took another sip of her drink.

“But don’t fight. I’ll talk to Yoon-ji.”

“Hoo, you. Remember that I have a wish for you? Behave yourself.”

Oh, right.I recalled the time I lost a bet and ended up ripping my pants.

“Of course. What, you want me to take them off right here?”

I could get arrested for indecent exposure, but if it made Yoo Ah-rin laugh, I’d do it.

“What are you looking at my butt for?”

But Yoo Ah-rin shook her head, saying she wasn’t interested.

“Well, that’s true. How about we go to the bathroom?”

“No! I’m not going to use it for that!”

What the heck?

Too bad.

“Actually, I just wanted to go to the bathroom. I’ll say it again.”

“I’m not fighting. Do you know how ridiculous it would look for us to fight in front of the kids over a man?”

She’s right.

Sighing, I watched Yoo Ah-rin pour herself another drink and headed to the bathroom.

As is the case with most restaurants, the bathroom was cramped, and even though it was the men’s bathroom, there was only one toilet.

The moment I unzipped my pants.

Clang.

The door opened and Seo Ye-rin walked in.

“Wh, what the heck?!”

My lower body was already exposed, so I asked awkwardly, and Seo Ye-rin grinned.

“Woo-jin, why are you ignoring my texts?”

“H, hold on a second.”

I tried to pull up my pants, but Seo Ye-rin, who was right behind me, grabbed my hands and stopped me.

“Huh? Woo-jin? Why are you ignoring me?”

“I wasn’t ignoring you… It’s just that the situation was so urgent…”

“Oh, okay, I understand.”

Really?

“I understand, Woo-jin. Yes, I can understand.”

Seo Ye-rin’s hand slowly moved to my lower body.

“Instead, can I have this? I’ll keep it in case you need it for a special occasion.”

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”

She often says crazy things, but today she’s really going too far.

“Sigh.”

Seo Ye-rin sighed and slowly removed her hand. It seemed like she was joking after all.

“Okay, I’m kidding. Do whatever you want.”

Seo Ye-rin gave me a playful slap on the butt and left.

Judging by how hard she hit me, she must have been really pissed.

‘I guess Yoon-ji is a bit like that.’

Because she’s my ex-girlfriend.

I thought it was really nothing, and I was about to finish my business.

…But it was because of Seo Ye-rin.

It took me a while to wait for the hard-on to go down.

“Phew.”

A few minutes later.

I counted sheep to calm myself down, and when I came out, someone else was sitting in my seat.

Choi Yi-seo.

“…What’s going on?”

The table of four that I had been sitting at was now full.

Yoon-ji and Yoo Ah-rin were still there.

And Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo had joined them.

Something big could happen, so I thought I should get a chair and sit next to them.

In the past, other men would see me trying to squeeze into their table and click their tongues or glare at me.

But what can I do?

I’ll just have to try.

“Huh.”

“You’re looking good, Kim Woo-jin.”

Oh Yoon-ji and Yoo Ah-rin greeted me right away.

“…”

“Cheers!”

Choi Yi-seo poured me a shot of soju without saying a word, and Seo Ye-rin greeted me with a melon.

I wonder why.

The girls started to act really differently all of a sudden.

“Cheers.”As Choi Iseo extended his glass, the other three immediately extended theirs.

The bottles of alcohol piled up quickly.

I couldn’t even take a sip of alcohol and just grilled meat while the four of them chatted.

‘Is this the ultimate sorrow?’

The people around me started to leave one by one.

There was talk of going for a second round, but no one at this table left.

Eventually, the barbecue restaurant became deserted.

– Ahn Hyunho: It’s right to not date Gyuah, right? I refused her today, but I wonder if she’ll give up.

‘This bastard still has feelings for her.’

I clicked my tongue and sent him a message, hoping he would make a choice he wouldn’t regret.

The four of them stared at me as if they thought I was up to something.

I was embarrassed and tried to grill more meat, but Yu Ah-rin suddenly asked.

“What was that funny story you were talking about earlier?”

They had been drinking like gangsters, but now they seemed a little bored.

Thinking that this was my chance, I immediately told them the story.

“I met some idiots the other day.”

I told them the story about how the kids weighed me and Chanwoo and ended up going with Chanwoo.

I thought it was a funny episode, but as I told it, I realized it was a bit of a dirty story.

So I was a little regretful.

“I thought only girls did the A or B questions, but surprisingly, guys do it too.”

“The kids who do that talk about it for hours.”

The atmosphere among the kids wasn’t too bad.

“For example, would you rather be second place for your whole life or have a 50% chance of being first or last?”

Choi Iseo continued the conversation.

Choi Iseo also seemed a little uncomfortable just drinking in this atmosphere, so he seemed to be trying to lighten the mood.

“Kim Woojin with a crooked face VS Kim Woojin with a crooked face.”

That b*tch Seo Yerim was too relaxed.

“What the hell kind of question is that?”

Isn’t it f*cking disgusting just to imagine?

I wondered what the hell kind of sh*tty question that was, but surprisingly, they were serious, maybe because they were drunk.

“Shut up. You wouldn’t even be able to walk with the latter.”

“The latter isn’t even human in the first place.”

“You’d have to live with your pants on every day.”

From Yu Ah-rin to Choi Iseo to Oh Yoon-ji.

They all chose the former, and Seo Yerim nodded.

“Hmm, Kim Woojin, the lifelong virgin.”

“Of course, if he has a crooked face. But what the hell kind of question is this?!”

Even though I asked in annoyance, Seo Yerim didn’t seem to hear me and just drank.

“Kim Woojin who touches your chest every time you meet VS Kim Woojin who touches your butt every time you meet.”

“Ah, f*ck. I’m getting into it.”

I slapped my forehead at Yu Ah-rin’s question and sighed deeply.

I should order more alcohol. For myself.

“Butt. Everyone can see if you touch the chest.”

Oh Yoon-ji answered with her chin resting on her hand, but this time it was split.

“Chest. I feel the chest better.”

That b*tch Seo Yerim shouldn’t drink.

“I think the butt would be better too.”

Choi Iseo muttered after thinking deeply.

As the waitress brought over the alcohol and poured it into my glass, Oh Yoon-ji raised her hand.

“Kim Woojin in a cat cosplay VS Kim Woojin in a dog cosplay.”

Let’s just drink.

I pretended not to hear and just drank.

“Dog. That bastard is a son of a b*tch, so a dog suits him well.””It wouldn’t be bad if Woojin followed me around like a puppy. With a leash on him.”

“……A cat.”

In the end, they started talking about something between themselves.

“Sadist vs. masochist?”

“Wow, this is a bit……”

“It depends. It’s a bit different depending on the time.”

“……Even though he’s a man, I’d rather have the former than the latter?”

Keep going.

Yeah, keep going.

As if she had gained momentum, Seo Yerim continued to ask questions while kicking her shoes off.

“2 Woojin vs. 0.5 Woojin.”

“Oh, man. 2 Woojin is too much.”

“Definitely the latter. I’m a bit……even now.”

“Hmm? What are you talking about?”

Oh Yoonji tilted her head and asked, not understanding Seo Yerim’s question.

Seo Yerim explained about the 1 Woojin unit that only we know about.

“Oh, so to be exact-“

Slap.

Oh Yoonji covered her mouth with her hand as if she was about to say something.

“Ha, don’t do it.”

I stopped her because I thought it was getting out of hand.

Because we’ve measured it ourselves.

Oh Yoonji nodded as I bit my lip and warned her, and slowly let go of her hand.

“Exactly-!”

Slap.

“I told you not to.”
