Chapter 30: Drinking Session
No, no. If we do that, the focus will once again shift to the supporting characters.
I didnt want to listen to Yu Arin grumbling beside me, but surprisingly,
truly surprisingly, everything Yu Arin said turned out to be a gem.
Even though I wanted to object to it, her suggestions were really helpful for the project, so I couldnt actually say anything.
They say the truth hurts the most.
Ive heard that smart people who speak the truth are the most annoying ones, but really, I had no clue it would be this annoying.
Dont forget, were making a 40-minute movie, okay?
I understand.
As I bit my lip and reluctantly answered, Yu Arin clicked her tongue in disapproval.
While looking at the script, I wanted to pick a fight, so I said,
But why add romance? We could just go with horror.
Hmm? Its usually good to add a bit of this to help the focus.
Then, does it have to be a female lead? There are more men in our group.
What? Ah, I didnt think of that!
Yu Arin clicked her tongue in frustration, realizing she had been writing the script without even considering who would be playing the roles.
Is there anyone in the group I know?
Most of them you would already know.
After all, our group is made up of English Literature major students. Im not sure about the seniors, but I began to mention Seo Yerin, Ahn Hyeon-ho, senior Han-kang, and senior Min Ju-hee.
What?
Yu Arin looked at me with a blank expression.
What?
I wondered if she found something problematic, but then she hit me on the thigh.
Ack! Have you lost it?!
It hurt so much, and I wondered why she was doing this, but then Yu Arin began to erase everything she wrote.
Shit! Are you going to shoot a horror movie with those luxurious faces? Are you trying to ruin everything by casting those who live off their looks?
No, we dont even know who will take on the roles.
As long as it isnt you. It doesnt matter since youll be editing! If Ahn Hyeon-ho or senior Han-kang take it, the male lead works, and the female lead has to be Seo Yerin.
Are you the team leader or something?
I looked at her in disbelief but she just clicked her tongue.
You dont know how many love calls Yerin has received from the entertainment industry since high school, huh?
.
It didnt feel like she was exaggerating either.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
These are the kids who have had things handed in their lives because of their faces, and you cant even comprehend that.
Seriously.
Although Yu Arin wasnt as pretty as Seo Yerin, she wasnt ugly either.
I wanted to say something but this felt like a subject I shouldnt broach.
Even just filming a handsome guy and a pretty girl flirting with each other is already halfway to success, and if that leads to romance, itll be easier for the female lead to immerse herself so lets focus on the female.
Saying that, Yu Arin began to write numerous things.
Shed already become accustomed to stretching her body and tapping on the computer, which was mine!
Lets increase the romance content from what we wrote earlier. That way, we can also carry the tension of the horror aspects.
Although horror and romance have been combined, this time the emphasis was more on romance.
I was just going with the flow and continued watching.
Ho?
An interested voice came from behind the chairs.
As we turned our heads at the same time, there was senior Min Ju-hee, wearing a jersey and a white cap, an amused smile on her face.
Senior Min Ju-hee?
Yu Arin was shocked, wondering what was happening, but I raised my hand slightly and said,
Shes supposed to come over.
Slap!
Why are you telling me that now!
Yu Arin scolded me and hit me on the thigh again! But I just shrugged it off.
She said she would come meet me before I met you. Then why would I explain such a thing?
Ah, youre so annoying. How did Yerin become friends with someone like you?
Arent you the problem? Interfering with someone elses assignment?
Despite our bickering, senior Min Ju-hee leaned on my chair and continued to read the text on the screen.
Then.
Im sorry, junior. What was your name?
Senior Min Ju-hee spoke to Yu Arin directly.
Its Yu Arin. We are both freshmen in the English Literature department.
Right, sorry, we did drink together at the first semester MT, but I forgot your name.
So the two briefly met at the MT.
For the record, I didnt go to the MT.
My ex-girlfriend didnt want to go because she hated the idea of me being around other girls, so we just hung around together.
Have you eaten? I was planning to eat with Woojin, want to join us? Ill pay.
Really?
Where is Yu Arins house?! Senior can just go to the dorm, right?!
Since the senior lived in the dorm, I could take her there, but Yu Arin was the problem now.
I know! Know! The dorm address!
Uh?
Senior Min Ju-hee flailed her arms in the air.
Curfew!
Curfew?
She nodded, satisfied with my understanding.
Ah, Im going insane here.
I was going to take Yu Arin home first and then think about this later.
Kuak.
Before I knew it, she was leaning on my shoulder, drooling in her sleep.
The drool stains my clothes, and without intention, I gripped Yu Arins hand tighter.
Ah, shit
Should I just leave them both here and go?
The moment the impulse struck me.
I thought of a solution.
It was too wasteful to leave them both at a motel and too risky to abandon them on the street.
But then, my house didnt have enough space either.
So.
I took my phone out.
A few minutes later.
We arrived in front of the villa.
A girl with a bob cut was glaring at me, arms crossed and looking displeased.
Haha, hello.
When I greeted Choi Yiseo awkwardly with a smile, she turned her head slightly and asked.
What hello?
Are you bragging about drinking with two women?
She was in a really bad mood.
Maybe I shouldnt have called.
Uh? You ignored my text about working out earlier, but now you call?
Ah, did you text? I was too busy to see it.
I was so distracted by those two earlier that I didnt properly check my messages and just made the call, leading to the disaster.
So? What now?
To Choi Yiseo, who was even colder than when we first met, I awkwardly smiled and replied.
Well, since your house is big, I was wondering if you could let two people stay over!
Haa! Such a pretty face and your cheeks are so squishy!
Senior Min Ju-hee stretched my cheek, causing my pronunciation to go off. Seeing this, Choi Yiseo strode over and took Min Ju-hee.
Minji! Help me out here!
Minji, who had been to the police station.
It seems she got off with just a fine, and she too, hurried over and took Yu Arin away.
Ah, hello!
I responded to her awkward greeting and then glanced at Choi Yiseo.
Wow, really, thank you. If it werent for you, I was about to drop those two off at a motel.
You werent planning on doing anything weird, right?
Me? To those two? Have you lost it?
Then forget it.
Upon her firm response, Choi Yiseo dismissed her doubts and helped Min Ju-hee lean on her.
Perhaps due to her workouts she was strong, so it didnt seem that difficult for her.
Tomorrow is your day off, right?
Choi Yiseo inquired.
Yes, Friday is my day off.
Since tomorrow was Friday and I had the day off, I confirmed, and then she hesitated before suggesting.
Do you want to go somewhere with me tomorrow if youre free?
Hm?
Not to some weird place just something I want to do together.
Seeing her speak shyly, I felt curious and agreed.
Sure, lets do that.
Really? No backing out then!
As if concerned that I might change my mind, she quickly left with Min Ju-hee.
What is it? Where does she want to go?
I pondered, but then I thought it was a good opportunity since Id be bored tomorrow, so I started humming a tune.
The next day.
Damn.
The place Choi Yiseo brought me to was a gym.
