Chapter 98

98 – 98. Ticketing

If Choi Yiseo had really wanted to, I would have been willing to go to another PC room.

It’s not like there’s only one PC room here, and I didn’t want to make things unnecessarily uncomfortable.

However, it was Choi Yiseo who changed her mind and said she would go to Zero PC Room.

– I can’t avoid it for the rest of my life anyway.

That’s true.

It’s better to meet here than to meet awkwardly at school and figure out how to deal with Ahn Hyunho in the future.

That said, there’s no need to sit nearby, so I put my coat down far away and approach the three of them again.

“Hi, guys.”

“Who invited this guy?”

Pyo Jinho immediately frowns when he sees me greeting him. Not only that, but Han Kang and Ahn Hyunho don’t seem very happy either.

“You guys became besties, congratulations.”

I clap my hands and congratulate the idiots for becoming close.

“Why are you here if you weren’t invited?”

“Who? Who invited me?”

“It wasn’t me.”

“What the hell. I came here for homework. I’m not as free as you guys.”

These bastards really came here without me?

Honestly, even if they had invited me, I wouldn’t have come, but it was strange that I wasn’t even invited.

“Hey, since you’re here, sit next to me and help me with the ticketing. I’m going to the IU concert.”

“The three of us guys?”

Pyo Jinho nods his head abruptly. However, the expressions of Ahn Hyunho and Han Kang behind him were different.

“It doesn’t seem like they’re going?”

I asked, pointing with my chin, and Pyo Jinho’s head turned around and he found the traitors.

“I… I’m going with my girlfriend.”

“I’m going to tell Yiseo. She’s an IU fan.”

Han Kang, who had a girlfriend before he went to the army, started fighting with Pyo Jinho, but I ignored that.

“Choi Yiseo is an IU fan?”

“You didn’t know?”

Ahn Hyunho smiles like a winner.

I scratch the back of my head and make an ambiguous expression. I wondered how I should explain this, but then I felt a tap on my back and a refreshing scent.

“Where are our seats?”

Choi Yiseo, who was wearing a white sweater, looked strangely dressed up and not dressed up.

As she came next to me, she made eye contact with Ahn Hyunho and the others, but she simply waved her hand and passed by.

“I put my coat over there.”

I answered awkwardly because of the stares from the men, but Choi Yiseo didn’t hesitate to go there.

The moment Choi Yiseo disappeared, the mean bastards started talking sh*t.

“This bastard is doing NTR right in front of me!”

“Don’t make me a bad guy! I’ve never even dated Choi Yiseo, and you’re making me look like a weirdo?!”

I immediately stopped Ahn Hyunho, who was cursing at me, saying it was ridiculous.

“Is Yerim coming too? Don’t tell me you’re going to show me you’re with Yerim right in front of my eyes?”

I felt a little guilty because it hadn’t been long since I spent the night at the PC room with Seo Yerim.

“I’m sorry, but don’t you have anything to say to me, senior? You already have a girlfriend, so why are you mentioning Seo Yerim!”

This bastard acts like he’ll die without Seo Yerim, but he does everything he can.

“You’re not really like that with Arin, are you?”

“She’s really not!”

When I retorted in anger, Pyo Jinho nodded his head, saying that was a relief.

In conclusion, the only one who was grumbling and expressing hatred towards me was Ahn Hyunho, and we parted ways with each other.

“Asshole.”

“Oh, double asshole.”Let’s leave the idiots alone and go to Choi Yi-seo, who is already sitting in a chair, deeply engrossed in it.

She seemed almost asleep, so I sat down next to her, smiling involuntarily.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet. I’m starving because I worked out.”

It was well past lunchtime, but she still hadn’t eaten.

“Order something to eat. I’ll buy it for you.”

As I said, turning on the familiar order screen, Choi Yi-seo stared at me and covered her mouth.

“Ahem, ahem.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing. What should I eat?”

Choi Yi-seo leaned towards me and looked around. It seemed like she was having a hard time because all the food in the PC room was high in calories.

‘Damn.’

It was strange that her shoulder brushed against mine slightly, or her chest brushed against my arm.

Was it like this yesterday? Is a PC room originally such a racy place?

“Do you want to eat spicy ramen?”

I quickly ordered ramen and two cups of coffee. While waiting for Chan-woo to bring it, I was downloading the materials I had sent by email, when Choi Yi-seo whispered softly, looking around.

“It’s like a, a couple.”

“……”

“Thank you for buying me.”

Choi Yi-seo looked completely different from Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin yesterday. Thanks to her, I felt good, but my mind was uncomfortable.

“……I bought it for you to do your work.”

I said it bluntly for no reason, but Choi Yi-seo thought I was trying to hide my embarrassment, so she nodded with a small smile.

“Yes, I’ll help you.”

Should I say it’s warm?

Should I say it’s fuzzy?

Anyway, I wasn’t so dull that I didn’t know that my heart was strangely at ease because I was with Choi Yi-seo.

Just then, Chan-woo brought the drinks and ramen. While waiting for Choi Yi-seo to start eating it.

“Come to think of it, are you a fan of IU?”

Choi Yi-seo nodded as she ate the ramen, remembering what Ahn Hyun-ho had said earlier.

“Yeah, most of the songs on my playlist are IU. I listen to them when I work out.”

“The kids over there are booking tickets for IU’s concert? Maybe it’s like an end-of-the-year concert?”

“Really? I like her, but I’ve never thought about going to a concert.”

Of course, it would be because the competition is so fierce.

“It doesn’t seem like it will take long, so should we try ticketing?”

When I said that, Choi Yi-seo, who had been staring at me blankly, swallowed the ramen and asked carefully.

“……Are you asking me on a date?”

“Why are you putting it that way? We’re just going to a concert.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

Choi Yi-seo tilted her head, but quickly opened the ticketing site.

However, since neither of us had ever done anything like this before, we felt a little overwhelmed.

“Do we just keep refreshing?”

“Do you know what time the tickets go on sale?”

“It says here that reservations start at 3 o’clock?”

“There are about 10 minutes left.”

I thought I would find some kind of honey tip, but when I thought about it, weren’t there people over there already getting ready in line?

“I’ll go and ask for a moment.”

I quickly got up from my seat and went to the idiots. Chan-woo was also watching from that side, saying that there were 10 minutes left.

“Ah, don’t come. If you come too, everyone will gather, so they say they’ll think about it then!”

“Strictly speaking, it’s not all gathered because the bald uncle isn’t here.”

“Ooh!”

When I answered with a whimper at Ahn Hyun-ho’s nagging, Chan-woo was strangely hurt and his face turned white.”We’re also going to try ticketing, so give us some tips.”

I noticed that they were looking at a different clock than the one we were looking at. Where did they find that?

“Get lost, Kim Woojin!”

“Go to hell, you lying bastard!”

The losers immediately raised their middle fingers.

Hangang and Pyo Jinho stuck out their tongues and mocked me.

“Where are you going to try ticketing? Do you think we’re going to increase our competition?”

“Go do your homework! Ticketing is not about charity or consideration. It’s a winner-takes-all game! If you win, you hit the jackpot!”

“Please go to the military.”

“Hey, you’re coming too!”

“You’re my successor. Work hard.”

“T-t-this private K-K-Kim Woojin!”

“I-I received orders to transfer!”

“……Assholes.”

I had lost, so I couldn’t help but slump my shoulders. For a moment, I imagined Hangang and Pyo Jinho as my seniors, and I felt dizzy and even scared.

But then.

“Don’t cry, you losers.”

“Boo-hoo!”

“Sniff.”

I clicked my tongue when I saw tears welling up in Hangang and Pyo Jinho’s eyes, and they quickly turned their gazes to the screen as if they hadn’t been crying.

It hurt them too, because they were trying to put themselves in my shoes, even though they hadn’t experienced it themselves yet.

Anyway, I didn’t think they would ever tell me any ticketing tips, so I decided to try a different approach.

I beckoned An Hyunho over and called him secretly, and he approached me with his hands in his pockets, looking like a delinquent.

“What.”

“Give me some tips. I want to go to this concert.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

“If I tell Choi Yiseo that you helped me, wouldn’t I have a better chance than I do now?”

“……”

“Don’t you think this would be a good chance to improve your image a little bit?”

“……”

“Honestly, I don’t like the fact that Choi Yiseo is dating you either. But couldn’t you just be friends with her?”

“……”

“Was it just a one-night stand, or was it love?”

I whispered softly, putting my arm around his shoulder and smiling, and An Hyunho’s expression gradually softened.

He glanced at me and nodded, then told me some ticketing tips.

I was still annoyed with those guys, so I gave him one more instruction.

“That’s a bit……”

An Hyunho hesitated after hearing my whole story, but I slapped my forehead and said,

“Hey, snap out of it. They’re going to the military soon. Do you want to see them happy because they succeeded in ticketing, or do you want to see Yiseo happy because she succeeded in ticketing?”

“……”

“Don’t you want to hear Yiseo say, ‘Thank you, Hyunho, for getting me tickets’?”

An Hyunho nodded, as if he had made up his mind. Then he went back to his seat.

That’s it.

I raised my fist as I passed the three of them, a wicked smile forming on my face without me realizing it.

“Fighting.”

The two of them were surprised by my sudden encouragement, but I ignored them and went back to my seat.

“Are you here? Did you tell him?”

“Yeah, I told him there was a different clock.”

I quickly passed on the tips I had heard from An Hyunho, and then prepared for ticketing.

“Wow, I’m nervous.”

“It feels like applying for classes.”
