“You seem like you can’t handle alcohol, but you’re doing pretty well.”
“Well… I’m not totally unable to.”
Perhaps due to the food pairing or the awkwardness of the situation, the alcohol went down smoothly.
As silence filled the gaps in conversation, Sori, tired and drinking faster than usual, was getting tipsy.
Meanwhile, someone had just encountered an unexpected sight.
Hyunwoo, tilting his head slightly, narrowed his eyes.
It wasn’t just a woman resembling Yoo Sori; it was her.
Sitting with another man, raising a glass of sake.
This realization hit Hyunwoo – the one he had let off early was secretly spending time with someone else.
“Caught red-handed, Yoo Sori.”
So, the obedient puppy Yoo Sori I thought I knew was deceiving me and meeting another man. This is quite an unpleasant situation, isn’t it?
I was planning to ask if she had eaten, if the swelling had gone down, and if she was very tired.
No need to call now. Here she is, right in front of me.
The man in the grey beanie is the one I saw in the waiting room earlier, who I thought was following a trend with his beanie.
That beanie guy, whom I only saw from the back, is Hwang Junsu, the orthopedic patient Sori shaved yesterday.
There are so many patients, doctors, and interns who are overly friendly with Sori that it’s a bit annoying to keep track of them all.
And I’m not the type to care about such things.
But seeing her lying to me and being here like this…
What is this fresh feeling of displeasure I’ve never felt before?
I’m sure it’s a bigger blow than the jealousy I felt seeing her drink tea in the hospital.
Have I given her too much freedom?
I feel strange.
Junsu is pouring sake for Sori.
Watching him offer her alcohol that she doesn’t even like, I feel a heaviness at the back of my neck.
Sori doesn’t refuse. No, she can’t.
Her face, already slightly flushed, she eats sushi and drinks sake. She’s filling and emptying her cup quite fast.
Oh?
My eyes darken as I stand at the door for a long time, watching the two.
My arms cross over my chest, and my eyes become sharper.
It’s like a wild animal observing an intruder in its territory, ready to pounce at any moment.
Thanks to the several partitions and columns in the interior design, they can’t see me.
Sori, though awkward, responds earnestly and looks quite exhausted.
But why is she, who hardly eats, eating sushi again here after I gave her some?
I’ve become quite curious.
I should have brought her here in the first place.
I didn’t completely dismiss the idea…
Now, Sori, who has no idea I’m watching from a few meters behind, laughs.
I can’t stand it anymore.
I start to walk towards her, but the man in the grey beanie suddenly gets up and heads somewhere.
Seems like he’s going for a smoke.
I follow him, leaving Sori alone for a while.
Near the smoking area of the building, white smoke rises into the black sky.
“I’m with her right now. She’s incredibly cute. Kind of like a rabbit. She drinks more than I thought. She’s downing them fast but not getting drunk. She needs to get more drunk.”
What are you going to do if she gets drunk? What a funny guy.
“I want to take her to a second round, but she seems reluctant. Got any smooth lines?”
I’m not sure what he’s up to, but his words are very clear in my ears.
Even though our eyes briefly meet, the beanie guy, cigarette in mouth, continues his earnest discussion on how to persuade her.
“Trying to make a move after so long, it’s not really working out. Feels like hitting a wall. We’re not connecting on any interests.”
At this part, a brief smirk crossed Hyun Woo’s face and then disappeared.
“Is it my looks? I used to have some success in the past. Damn it, it must be because I shaved my head. But I can’t really say that to the person involved. Anyway, where to go for the second round? A wine bar? Wouldn’t sake followed by wine upset the stomach?”
He mused, thinking of the man as a somewhat decent ruffian, chatty and crude.
Having already confirmed Sori’s hidden feelings, Hyun Woo couldn’t just leave her be. Thinking the phone call might drag on, he quickly moved back inside the restaurant.
“Excuse me, sir, could you please settle the bill for the table?”
After sorting out the payment, he confidently approached Sori’s table. Sori looked slightly dazed, resting her chin on one hand, and gazing at the table.
Though their eyes met, she seemed to think she was hallucinating.
“I keep seeing the professor everywhere. This must be a neurosis. I think I’m drunk. I should go home.”
Seeing this, Hyun Woo was dumbfounded.
“If she knows I’m watching this, she’ll be half-dead. Come on, Yoo Sori, snap out of it.”
She was muttering to herself, a sign she was quite inebriated.
“Yoo Sori,” Hyun Woo called out in a stern voice.
“Hmm… I keep hearing the professor’s voice. I must be going crazy…”
She then started to tap her face with her hands.
“Yoo Sori, aren’t you going to come to your senses?”
She suddenly looked up.
“Oh my, it’s really Professor Seo Hyun Woo!”
Her eyes widened in shock.
“Probably,” Hyun Woo replied.
“Kyaa—Professor!”
“Shh, be quiet.”
As Sori made an unusual chirping sound, Hyun Woo instinctively covered her mouth with his hand.
“Why, why are you here, Professor?”
“That’s what I want to ask you.”
“Right, this isn’t home.”
Realizing why she was there, her pupils shook violently, as if an earthquake had hit her.
