Episode 41

 

The incident began like this.

 

“Oppa will buy everything for you~”

 

Da-hee had never seen this man before today.

 

It was shortly after Yeon-jae had left. She said she was going to the riverside stage to see Boss Boy with a high school friend, and after being quiet all evening, Na Yun contacted them.

 

-I’m on my way now, where are you guys?

 

“Yeon-jae unni went to meet someone briefly… Si-eun unni is still stuck at the pub. I’ll be back soon too.”

 

Si-eun was still frantically making yogurt makgeolli with her hands on fire.

 

“Unni! What should I do?”

 

“Oh, Da-hee! Don’t come! Just go home!”

 

“What?!”

 

“Quickly, before the other kids come! I’ll tell them I sent you home because I wasn’t busy. Na Yun is coming soon, right? Go have fun with Na Yun~”

 

“Huh. Is that really okay?”

 

“Yes, yes. I’ll explain it well. Go have fun. You have to go when it’s not busy like now, you know? Oh right. If you see Yeon-jae, go together! And make sure to tell her thanks for helping today!”

 

“What about you, unni?”

 

“I have to go in early tomorrow anyway because of the club, so I’m trying to work a lot today. And don’t you see here?”

 

Si-eun, saying this, wrapped her arms around the shoulders of the gentle-looking male classmates on either side of her and smiled like an emperor with thousands of concubines.

 

“Love for classmates, love for country, right?”

 

“Right… Ha. Ha. Ha…”

 

The face of the male classmate caught tightly by Si-eun turned pale and smiled awkwardly.

 

“Ah. Then I’ll stay until the end tomorrow!”

 

“No need. Tomorrow I’m going to make the guys who’ve been absent to watch Cherry Girls stay.”

 

So Park Da-hee called Na Yun again.

 

“Unni. Si-eun unni told me to go home.”

 

-Oh, really? That’s good. Then let’s go somewhere other than our department pub!

 

“Where else?”

 

-Hmm. College of Physical Education pub~?

 

That’s right. Na Yun’s taste had always been for men with muscular bodies who showed off their beastly charm.

 

As soon as Da-hee hung up with Na Yun, she entered the group chat where her classmates were gathered and made an announcement.

 

Yeon-jae unni. Si-eun unni told us to go home so we’re heading to the College of Physical Education pub

 

Meeting Na Yun unni there! Unni, come here too^^

 

Yeon-jae come on~~

 

Okay okay I’ll go straight there

 

Da-hee hurried to the College of Physical Education pub to fulfill her duty as the youngest before the unnies arrived.

 

Having secured a spot, Da-hee quickly sent a reply to the unnies.

 

Unnies. I’ve arrived^^

 

Da-hee arriving alone at the College of Physical Education pub could be called a tragedy.

 

This was a festival.

 

That meant there were quite a few guys whose only purpose was ‘hunting’ or ‘joining tables.’

 

Just quite a few? No matter how fun a university festival might be, in the end, only the participating students find it fun.

 

Therefore, outsiders who aren’t students of the school but still come to the university festival generally fall into two categories.

 

People who came to see singers. And people whose purpose is hunting.

 

“Would you like to join our table?”

 

And the man now asking Da-hee was almost 100% certainly the latter.

 

Not only was he not wearing department jackets or t-shirts, but judging by his overly stylish outfit for a student, he was definitely an outsider.

 

“Oh, my friends are coming soon.”

 

Da-hee expressed her refusal in a small voice, beating around the bush.

 

For Da-hee, who was naturally shy and bad at refusing, this was already showing courage.

 

“How many?”

 

Why is he speaking informally?

 

…she thought, but couldn’t voice it out loud.

 

“Two.”

 

She even answered obediently.

 

“Oh. Perfect. So that’s three including you, right? We’re also three. When your friends come, it’ll be a perfect 3:3 match.”

 

What?! I never agreed to this!

 

But she couldn’t say this either.

 

‘I’m not Si-eun unni or Yeon-jae unni…’

 

Moreover, it was 3:1.

 

“Why do you look so sad? Do you dislike us?”

 

“You don’t think we’re the type who are too crazy about women, do you?”

 

“No. We should speak directly. We’re not crazy about women, it’s just that this lady here is so bright.”

 

Unnies, why aren’t you coming…!

 

Moreover, she could even smell a faint scent of alcohol from the men.

 

Drunk men? The worst.

 

“Come on? Let’s hang out with the oppas~”

 

Feeling that this couldn’t go on any longer, Da-hee mustered up courage from deep within and said.

 

“I don’t want to…!”

 

“Why not? We’ll buy everything for you. While we’re at it, how about going to an expensive bar that’ll make your eyes spin instead of a university pub? Have you ever been to a lounge bar?”

 

No! But! I’m not curious!

 

But before Da-hee, who had stood up abruptly, could answer, the man put his arm around Da-hee’s shoulder and stuck to her. Da-hee’s face looked like she was about to cry.

 

“Ah, baby, where are you going~”

 

That’s when it happened. A woman’s hand landed on the table with a thud.

 

The owner of the hand blocked Da-hee’s path.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

And stopped them with a flat voice.

 

“She said no.”

 

It was Yeon-jae.

At the same time, Dohan was leaving the department office carrying a large box.

 

He had definitely gone in to rest, but during his break, the pub had become rapidly busy. Dohan volunteered to go to the department office to get supplies that had run out while eating his sandwich.

 

Dohan, who was leaving the Business Department pub for the first time since the festival started, walked while observing the scenery of Pub Street.

 

The street where the pubs were gathered sparkled with colorful small lights from the entrance, bright enough to hurt the eyes.

 

Not just the lights.

 

The amplifiers prepared by each pub were competing with each other, raising their volumes noisily.

 

Listening to the popular songs mixed together randomly, Dohan occasionally glanced at other pubs.

 

‘Are they doing better business than us?’

 

With a sense of rivalry.

 

Walking with such thoughts, Dohan’s steps came to a halt when he saw a banner.

 

【Physical Beauty Commotion】

 

…?

 

‘They have a name as flashy as Handsome Hop. That’s not easy to do.’

 

It was the College of Physical Education pub.

 

Now that he looked, it was bustling with people to a degree that rivaled the Business Department.

 

And within that crowd, Dohan spotted a familiar figure from behind.

 

‘Huh, isn’t that Yeon-jae?’

 

So Yeon-jae’s type was guys who matched the name of this place, ‘Muscle Mayhem’…

 

Normally, Dohan would have just chuckled and passed by.

 

But at that moment, whether some curiosity kicked in or he just wanted to slack off a bit, he wasn’t sure.

 

Dohan naturally turned his steps toward where Yeon-jae was, without even realizing it himself.

 

When he got close enough to Yeon-jae that his voice would be heard if he called out.

 

Dohan shifted the box he was holding with both hands to one hand to greet her. And just as he was about to extend his free hand.

 

Yeon-jae spoke.

 

“I said no.”

 

“Oh. Is she your friend?”

 

“She’s pretty, right? Are all young friends pretty? Where are all the other friends?”

 

“Excuse me. Can’t you hear me saying no? You do know that physical contact without consent is sexual harassment, right?”

 

Yeon-jae blocked the low-quality opponent with clear pronunciation.

 

Dohan unconsciously made a dumbfounded face.

 

The Yeon-jae he remembered was quiet and introverted.

 

She often trembled when speaking, as if embarrassed about something, and would blush from her ears whenever he said anything.

 

But no matter how well Yeon-jae could handle men, in Dohan’s eyes, it was still a situation he couldn’t feel at ease about. The opponent was even a big guy who looked older.

 

Dohan looked down at the group t-shirt he was wearing that read “Handsome Hope” and thought.

 

The title is a bit embarrassing though…

 

But his hesitation didn’t last long. His feet moved before he could even finish hesitating.

 

Dohan walked with large strides.

 

However, the man was a bit faster. They swaggered closer to Yeon-jae, pressing their bodies close, then giggled and sneered.

 

“This one’s really funny, isn’t she? Hey, you came to the bar on your own two feet, didn’t you? You came here wanting to hang out with guys, so where do you get off acting all high and mighty.”

 

Yeon-jae didn’t back down and retorted.

 

“No matter where we are, ‘no’ means ‘no’. Right now you’re proving in real time why you got rejected.”

 

It was when Dohan had approached very close.

 

Having no idea that someone was approaching her, Yeon-jae spoke as if delivering a final ultimatum.

 

“And stop talking down to me. I’ll start doing it back to you.”
