Chapter 740 – Our Story
After changing into cute animal pajamas, Yena went to bed, and now it was time for adults alone.
… No, but she didn’t get into bed as usual.
Crisp! Crisp! Crisp!
She scooped out the top of her watermelon like a pumpkin with a spoon. The hollowed-out core was placed separately on a cutting board, and the empty watermelon skin was filled with a bottle of toad soju and 3 cups of cider.
“You! Is it still far away!”
“Wait a minute, it’s done!”
Standing in front of the kitchen sink, she turned to her living room as I added sugar and mixed. She glanced at her girlfriends who were sitting on the couch, she cried.
“There really isn’t much left now! Really!”
To eat it cool, to adjust the alcohol content, pour ice. She poked until she pierced a wooden chopstick through the underside of the watermelon, then she pulled it out. She put a straw in its place. Fix the straw by inserting the dried soju lid into the top.
“I’m ready, brother!”
“It’s almost done!”
All that was left was the dug up watermelon flesh. After roughly chopping it with a kitchen knife, divide it into 5 large glass cups. She placed watermelon wine and cups on a tray, lifted the tray, and headed for the living room.
“Uh! It’s done!”
“Are you coming now? How long have you been waiting?”
“Then you do.”
Someone did their best, but I threw a scolding at Taeyeon, who grumbled, and put the tray on the table. The table in the living room where the girlfriends were sitting along the sofa was littered with cards that could be used for games.
“I’m sorry, Jiheon.”
Minah, who had prepared this, bowed her head and apologized.
“I wanted to help, but I couldn’t help it because I had work to do.”
“Oh, no. Are you okay. You were telling me this.”
While I was making Hwachae, Mina was telling her other girlfriends about this game. She already knew that, but she never blamed me for not helping.
“You! Quick quick quick!”
The opponent to be resentful of was the demon king who looked at him with shining eyes like a child. Seeing how he coveted watermelon wine following mulberry wine, he was almost an alcoholic.
Swallow!
“Now, here.”
Haha! Thank you! Side! Get this!”
Of course, that resentment disappeared as soon as the demon king kissed his hand and beckoned to send it away. After giving her watermelon wine, I also poured it for her other girlfriends.
“But how do you do this?”
Finally, I asked Mina while pouring my glass. When I looked it up on the Internet, there were many sayings that the game TRPG was quite difficult, so it was a question that arose.
“Jiheon, please accept it.”
Mina held out a piece of paper that looked like an instruction manual that each of her other girlfriends had. At the same time, it allayed my anxiety about the game.
“I don’t care about the difficulty of the game. It is designed so that even beginners can enjoy it. It’s still a prototype, so it’s close to unfinished, but I don’t think you’ll feel any barriers.”
“Okay?”
Relieved, I nodded and read the paper I received. When I saw the word street light in the first line of the manual, I realized that the background in the game is not a common medieval fantasy, but a modern one.
“Does this look like a modern setting?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Then,”
“You. What are you doing without a glass?”
When I was about to ask more about the world view, the demon urged me. Not only her, but Sehee and Taeyeon were also holding glasses full of watermelon wine as if toasting.
“Brother. Let’s start by drinking some of this, shall we?”
“Listen quickly. Because I want to eat too.”
“Ah, yes. Sorry.”
“I’ve been waiting for you, Jiheon.”
When she hurriedly raised her cup, Mina said that she had waited too, and lifted her cup from behind her. Upon seeing this, the demon king rose from the sofa as if he had been waiting.
“You-all. Then let’s start the toast.”
Looking down at us, she nodded her head in confidence. Then she raised her glass and cried.
“I wish you success! Wishing you progress! Genitalia!”
“Oh, little! Erection!”
“Erection!”
“Erection, yes.”
“The crazy bitch is real. Erection!”
Sehee and Minah shouted toasts without saying anything, and Taeyeon and I grumbled but shouted the same thing. After toasting like that, we drank watermelon wine.
Clap clap
“Khaaa!”
Before I could even take my mouth off the glass, exclamations were heard. When I lowered the cup while savoring the cool watermelon wine, I found the demon king sitting down on the sofa after drinking the cup in an instant.
“Big! You! Isn’t this so delicious! So delicious! Too!”
She said she was serious and gave me her thumbs up. Not only the demon king, but other female friends who tasted the watermelon wine were amazed and praised.
“This is so delicious, brother. Can you do another one later?”
“It’s also Jiheon.”
“Hey. Is this tastier than my mom’s hwachae?”
“What…”
I sipped another sip of watermelon wine while laughing. The sweet taste followed by the spicy scent of soju and cool watermelon was excellent. My girlfriends who tasted the same thing as me also admired it and continued to praise it.
“Big! Very just! First class groom! Feeling like a groom!”
“You cook well, you do well at night, and you are right.”
“It’s also Jiheon.”
“Ah, if you taste like this, you can’t eat mom’s.”
“Noisy, little!”
Her face grew hot because she was intoxicated not by alcohol, but by shyness. She shouted about the purpose of gathering, the game, because she felt happy inside but couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Let’s play a game quickly! Let’s play and go to sleep!”
“Haha! Are you looking forward to the night with Jim so much!”
“Since my brother came to play, he has become more open-minded.”
“It’s also Jiheon.”
“Is that the only compliment you have?”
Taeyeon looked at Mina curiously, but she didn’t care and explained her game.
“Then let’s begin. I am a game master. You can think of it as a moderator or moderator. And you are the players. You must follow my words carefully. Do you understand?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Um, okay.”
“All right.”
“Okay. Get started quickly.”
“Yes, I understand.”
When we all said we knew, Mina nodded her head. She said, then as she handed each of us one of her cards, which lay in front of her.
“You are the emotions that exist in a man’s head. Please use each of your own feelings to help men succeed in dating.”
“It seems unprepared.”
“It’s very peculiar.”
I mumbled after the demon king and revealed the card Mina gave me. The emotion I was in charge of was anger. It seems that this is not something to hide, but the girlfriends turned what they received and revealed what they were feeling.
“Hmm, I am sad.”
“I am joy.”
Pleasure? Sadness? Then, because my anger is… Uh?
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I looked at Taeyeon, worried that she might get caught in the copyright law, but still not revealing what kind of emotion she was feeling.
“Oh, fuck.”
Taeyeon, who looked at the card she had received, muttered a curse at her. Annoyed with a frown on her face, she showed us her card.
“Fuck, why is there sexual desire here?”
“?!”
“Puha?! That’s right! Ahahahaha! It fits you perfectly!”
“This is a ka-card that goes well with my aunt… ! Pooh… !”
On the card Taeyeon showed her, there was a picture of a woman and the word sexual desire written on it. When she looked at Min-ah in surprise, she prepared her game and explained with a casually blunt face.
“Libido is the most important emotion in a relationship. It’s a role that can lead to an easier relationship than you think, or a miserable breakup.”
“That’s so fucking stupid, fuck.”
At those words, Taeyeon laughed and murmured. She had expected her to quit right away when she saw her frown, but it seemed that she was interested in the game.
“Then let’s begin.”
When none of us objected, Mina started playing. She gave her explanation in a gruff voice as she looked at the paper that appeared to be her script book.
“The name of the man you will help is Park Ji-hwan. A man named Park Ji-hwan is a college freshman who has just turned 20, and he has an old crush on a woman. Her name is Seong Ji-eun.”
Seo, the setting somehow feels familiar?
“One spring day when everyone is excited, Ji-hwan walking down an alley at night sees Ji-eun Seong kissing a handsome bully under a street lamp.”
“Hey?!”
I couldn’t help but be amazed at the setting that was so familiar. An old crush, a dark alley, even a kiss, it was all my first love story.
“Hey! This is my story!”
I hurriedly interrupted the conversation and shouted, but the girlfriends who had already heard the explanation shook their heads firmly in my absence.
“Hmm? Where do you see this is your story?”
“Brother, this is a game. Can you separate it from reality?”
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Jiheon. This is not the story of Jiheon.”
“It’s my story, no matter who sees it!”
Whatever it was, it was an obvious fact. I was so dumbfounded at a game that seemed to be made based on what I had heard about in another world.
“I am not doing this! I will not!”
I even made watermelon hwachae! You’re making fun of me with my dark history!
Even if the wounds at that time had been healed long ago, this was a thing that crossed the line. I lost all motivation and put the card I received out of my hand, but the demon king glared at me with a stern attitude, as if telling me not to use it.
“Ttaek! You! Are you going to ignore the efforts that Mina brought for Jim?”
“But this is not it!”
“That’s right. No, brother.”
She tried to get me to join as well as her, followed by Sehee.
“Isn’t that a rather good opportunity? It’s an opportunity to fix the dark history of the past.”
“Is that really going to fix it!”
“I just want to be at ease. And she heard from her sister that she’s not the only woman out there.”
“… Really?”
She looked at Mina with a long expression. She bumped into me and nodded her head saying Sehee was right.
“Yes that’s right. A silver-haired senior with second grade disease, her younger sister, a black-haired beautiful girl, a tall, red-haired glamor girl met in a game, and a female policewoman, a single mother with a child, also appear as heroines.”
It was as she said. This wasn’t my story, it was our story.
“…”
Having heard this far, I picked up the card I threw away without letting go of my doubtful gaze.
