"Alright, that's it for today's class."
"Good work—"
Fuck, finally over.
6 PM. Time flies... It did go by fast because I was showing Juha around school earlier.
I quickly grabbed my bag and headed out.
Since Juha came, we might as well have dinner together.
"Are you done?"
"Yeah."
When I went downstairs, Juha was waiting there.
Her thighs were gleaming... today, they seemed to shine more than usual. Like she put something on them...
'Glance.'
I could feel other friends giving her side glances as they passed by.
Regardless of her looks, you don't see a body like Juha's every day...
Not just her chest, but honestly, her thighs are just unreal.
Even a clueless guy would think about squeezing them when he sees them...
"What are you doing? Let's go."
"Yeah."
On the way, I hoped not to run into the seniors.
If we did, they'd go bug-eyed and start making a fuss.
"Oh my god, Joon-yeong! Is this for real? Who is she?" They'd definitely flip out.
Hopefully, we won't run into them...
Luckily, we didn't meet anyone on our way to the main gate.
We just walked down naturally.
Juha was looking around at everyone as we descended, like some girl visiting university for the first time...
"What do you want to eat? What do you usually have for dinner?"
"Hmm..."
There's braised chicken, fried chicken, and a bunch of other stuff...
Nothing really comes to mind right now.
"There's a lot of chicken places... but there's also braised chicken. Tteokbokki too. And beef soup."
"Beef soup, what the actual fuck..."
You think we came all this way to eat beef soup?
Juha clicked her tongue and turned her head.
I knew she'd react like this. I was just curious about her reaction. It's kinda funny that she reacted just like I thought.
"Let's just go somewhere that looks good as we pass by..."
"That sounds better."
Most places around here are just bars, so there aren't many good spots... and there are way too many barbecue places.
Juha and I walked down the university street where the lights were starting to turn on.
"Hm.."
She didn't seem to give a shit about what we'd eat...
We just walked around the university street like tourists.
I've walked this path a million times, but with Juha, it feels weird.
It's like my personal bully came to my university... It's really fucking strange.
"...Hmm..."
Juha's gaze drifted to one side.
An izakaya.
Despite it being exam period, it was packed with students.
It was barely past 7 PM, and there were so many people at this bar... Well, drinking during exam time does taste better...
"Want to go there?"
"The izakaya?"
"Yeah."
Juha's eyes were locked on the izakaya.
It's not really a place for dinner, but if we order a lot of side dishes, it works.
Honestly, I want meat, but if Juha wants this, we should go.
"How many in your party?"
"Two."
"There's a seat in the back~."
As soon as we entered, the noise of students filled our ears.
Juha looked around curiously as we moved to our seat.
Why is she looking around so much?
Honestly, I thought she'd been to places like this a lot in high school with fake IDs.
Or not? Maybe she hasn't been here before? Or even if she has, she might not have been to an izakaya like this in university street.
"Please call us when you want to order~."
Juha pouted her lips while focusing on the menu.
She had a look like, "What should we eat?"
"Hey, what do you want to eat?"
"Uh..."
So many choices make it hard to decide.
I want something meaty... but after some thought, I said,
"Pork cutlet and spicy chicken."
"Two dishes?"
"They don't give much here..."
"Really?"
Juha touched her chin.
She's choosing very carefully. Even though she makes good money...
"Hmm... I'll have okonomiyaki."
"Should I order?"
"Yeah."
I pressed the bell next to me.
But... will she drink? I'm on exams, so I'm not sure...
I glanced over, and Juha was grinning.
"Drinking... right?"
"Obviously, you dumbass."
"Just tell them what to drink... I'll handle the food orders."
For some reason, I feel like we're drinking until we drop... Fuck... At least I did some studying beforehand.
"Are you ready to order?"
"Pork cutlet, spicy chicken, and okonomiyaki. And..."
"Beer, two Asahi and some sake by the glass?"
"Yes, yes."
"Then this, this, this... this... and a bottle of soju."
"Uh... yes, yes."
...Why order so much booze?
Even the waiter looked a bit shocked as he took the order.
"...Can you finish all that?"
"We'll eat together."
"I... I don't think I can eat all that."
"I'll eat it all."
...No, you'll definitely make me eat some too.
I doubt all this booze will fit on the table. It'll just be full of sake glasses.
"I'll bring the beer and sake first."
You're the only one who orders like this...
Before the side dishes even came, the table was already covered with alcohol.
Juha, smiling brightly, lifted her Asahi.
"Hey, what are you doing? Cheers!"
"Uh, yeah..."
I'll be able to get home tonight, right...?
We clinked our glasses lightly.
The noisy chatter and the yellow lights of the izakaya shone on our table.
Hmm... Drinking alone in a place like this is a first.
We've had beers at her place, watching our phones separately, but...
"Ugh..."
"Gah..."
Fuck, Asahi tastes like shit...
This is my first time trying Asahi draft, and it's worse than canned beer...
Blech. I shook my tongue while grabbing some snacks. Ugh, it's bitter...
"..."
Juha kept staring at the students around us.
It seemed like she was observing their conversations.
I also took a quick look at the nearby tables.
I could feel guys sneakily checking Juha out.
Well, she's got the biggest tits here...
"Have you ever been on a department trip or something?"
"A trip? No, not yet. There were some issues with the department... I did go to the orientation though."
"Really?"
Hmm...
She must be curious about university life.
When bullies get together, they only talk about university stuff... nothing else really comes up.
For Juha, who didn't go to university, it must feel a bit surreal. She needs to know this stuff to join conversations.
"Here's your food."
"Thank you."
The pork cutlet and okonomiyaki came out first.
Juha silently picked up a piece of pork cutlet.
Hey, that's mine, you bitch!
"..."
I thought she'd talk more, but she's quiet.
I was expecting some Onlyfans talk or something...
Now I felt a bit awkward around her.
She looked somewhat expressionless... like she was deep in thought. Maybe thinking about not being able to go to college.
I just stared at the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the room.
"Did you join any clubs?"
"Clubs? No."
"Then have you ever been on a group blind date?"
"...No."
Juha gave me a look like I was pathetic.
"What the fuck do you do then? Just study all the time? You dumbass, oh my god."
"That.. that's not it... I think I'll do a group blind date soon..."
"With who?"
"That.."
Is it okay to say? I glanced around and then said,
"With Yoo In-ha and two others from her department... 3 on 3..."
"In-ha? Why would In-ha do a blind date with you?"
"We agreed to bring two from each department. I don't know anyone else."
"Oh."
Her expression seemed to soften a bit at the mention of the blind date.
I must be a fucking loser for coming to a bar with this boring-ass dude... Her expression seemed to improve.
"Are there any hot guys in your department? Spill some stories."
"Uh..."
I don't really have any stories to tell...
But I tried to share what I could about the events in the department, the seniors, and university life in general.
Juha nodded, listening intently to my stories.
She particularly enjoyed the drinking game stories with the seniors. Her eyes sparkled...
"You've had a pretty good time."
"That... yeah, I guess."
Compared to high school, it's been a huge step up.
Juha's face went back to that thoughtful look. She was sipping her sake by herself...
I thought for a moment and then said,
"There might be a way to experience university life without paying..."
"How?"
One of Juha's eyebrows went up. A look like, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
"There are a lot of classes where they don't check attendance, so you can just sit at the back... You can't do department stuff, but you might be able to sneak into a central club for a day or two..."
They'll check later, but...
For the first day at orientation or a drinking orientation, you can just say you're a freshman and drink.
It might be hard alone, but if you go with a real student, you could manage the orientation...
You can enjoy a mini-university life until they verify your enrollment.
"Oh... really?"
Juha nodded, intrigued by the idea.
So, there's that option...
"But why aren't you drinking? You're barely touching it?"
"I.. I'm on exams."
"Fuck, it's still a while away, you can drink today."
"Ah.. no, I'm weak with alcohol..."
"You gotta drink to get better, you idiot."
Yeah, but... I don't really want to get better...
Juha clinked her glass against mine again.
Well, for one day... to match her mood...
I gulped down the sake which had a weird taste.
I could already feel the buzz.
"Ugh.. urgh.. urgh.."
Fuck, I'm dying...
I managed through the first round, but the second was unbearable...
In the second round, we drank every kind of cocktail and liquor. We just kept shots, and I was dizzy...
"You're such a lightweight, you piece of shit."
You're just strong...
Juha laughed while smoking.
My stomach... fuck... I won't be able to study tomorrow either... This bitch... Boohoo...
I feel a bit clear-headed from the hangover cure, which makes it even worse...
"Ah, I feel great."
Of course, you do...
You drank everything there was to drink...
But there were other reasons to feel good.
At the izakaya, she got two numbers. At the bar, one more.
Three numbers in one day. If it weren't for me, she'd probably get even more?
At the izakaya, even with me there, one guy came up like, "Move out of the way, you fucking loser," to get her number.
When I went to the bathroom, another guy tried to get her number.
At the bar, I saw a good-looking guy getting her number while I was in the bathroom.
Three times in a day...
She must feel good.
She wouldn't have had the chance to get numbers if she was always stuck at home.
"Fuck, if I went to college, I'd have fucked everyone."
...You'd be the one getting fucked...
I sat down on the floor to calm my stomach. Ugh...
"Want to go to the third round, Joon-hyeong?"
"I can't... I'll die... I'm dying..."
"You still have the strength to talk, so you're fine."
"P-Please, spare me. I'm sorry."
"Stop bitching and come with me."
S-Save me...
Juha forcefully helped me up.
Why is she so obsessed with drinking... I'm dying... I'm telling you, I'm dying...
"Just one more drink."
"Nooo..."
I remember stepping into the bar, but...
After that, it's a blackout.
'Why the fuck are you sleeping at home, dumbass.'
'Oh my god, this guy is so heavy.'
'Fuck, motel fees are so expensive.'
Why did you insist on a third round...
Bits and pieces came back to me like a film reel.
'Ugh...'
I remember Juha following me to the motel... but after that, nothing...
Right now... it feels like I'm in darkness...
'Ugh...'
But the soft feel of the blanket tells me... I must be home...
I mumbled while rubbing my face against the blanket. It felt good.
Heehee... I want to touch Juha's boobs...
