Chapter 134 – GOY 134
#134
“Jeong Sang-cheol, why are you such a brat?”
“Seonbae, stop being so salty just because I’m High-rank. It’s not like that’s going to raise your rank.”
The moment Jeong Sang-cheol shook his head as if pitying him, Seonbae Cho’s anger exploded.
“You little shit!”
Seonbae Cho threw a punch at Jeong Sang-cheol’s face. Jeong Sang-cheol didn’t back down and paid him back in kind. The two became entangled in a brawl, and in the aftermath, a folding table collapsed and food spilled all over the floor, creating total chaos.
As I tried to stop them, Kang In-ho grabbed my shoulder to hold me back.
“Don’t worry about it.”
“But….”
“Right, Yeon-soo, just ignore [Read on Read BL Novels]them. They just got drunk, started [stolen content]talking trash, and fought. Leave those guys alone and come over here.”
Ji-hee noona, who had approached before I knew it, spoke coldly and led me to her table.
Sitting at her table were a female hubae from the Changwi Guild and Kim Joon. There were an unusually high number of students in uniforms around them. It seemed the freshmen were all huddled together in this area.
Unlike the students who had changed into civilian clothes as soon as the lecture ended, the freshmen were still in their uniforms.
“Hello, Seonbae!”
“So-eun, it’s been a while.”
“You know my name?”
Jeong So-eun’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Of course. We ate together, remember?”
Back in the first semester, I had bought her a meal to ask about Kim Joon’s schedule.
“Wow. I didn’t think you’d remember.”
“Of course I remember.”
While I was talking with So-eun, the freshman sitting next to her bowed her head.
“Hello, Yeon-soo sunbae. I am Choi Da-eun.”
“Nice to meet you, Da-eun.”
“Hello, Seonbae! My name is…!”
Starting with Choi Da-eun, the hubaes sitting at the surrounding tables greeted me one by one.
It felt a bit awkward, as if I had come to instill military discipline, but Ji-hee noona was beaming.
“Everyone’s eyes are sparkling now that you’re here.”
“They’re just greeting their seonbae. I didn’t ruin the mood, did I?”
By the time the greetings were finished, the fight had been settled. The student council president had taken Jeong Sang-cheol and Seonbae Cho away, and the fallen table had been set back up.
However, the dampened mood didn’t lift. I felt uneasy, thinking it might be because of me.
“No! It’s so great that you came, Seonbae!”
Jeong So-eun comforted me. I felt it when we ate before, but she is a bright and kind girl.
“Thanks for saying that. But what’s up with Joon?”
Kim Joon was fast asleep, face-down on the table.
“He passed out after two glasses. I don’t know why he drank so much when he’s such a lightweight. Hey, Kim Joon! Wake up. You have to greet Yeon-soo sunbae.”
Jeong So-eun shook his shoulder, but he didn’t budge.
“It’s okay. Just leave him. He seems really drunk,”
“Yes.”
“Yeon-soo, don’t pay any mind to whatever Jo Jin-han was rambling about. That man is always a nuisance.”
As Ji-hee noona spoke while pouring orange juice into a paper cup, Jeong So-eun and Choi Da-eun, who was sitting next to her, chimed in.
“That’s right. That seonbae picks fights with anyone whose rank is higher than his, and ignores anyone whose rank is lower. He was a nightmare during the general orientation too.”
“He really has no manners. And besides, Joo Seung-hyuk sunbae is such an amazing person.”
Seeing them suddenly praise Joo Seung-hyuk, it seemed Seonbae Cho’s words had reached them, even though the tables were quite far apart.
Well, Jo Jin-han did shout loudly enough for everyone to hear….
“Exactly. Joo Seung-hyuk sunbae is handsome, and his personality…. His skills are outstanding too!”
Seeing that she couldn’t bring herself to say Joo Seung-hyuk has a good personality even while trying to comfort me, I think Jeong So-eun is a very honest type.
Choi Da-eun joined in praising Joo Seung-hyuk.
“Skills aside, when you think of Joo Seung-hyuk, you think of pheromones. He overwhelms every Alpha with his pheromones alone, so why bring up being a chaebol?”
“…….”
Hearing her words, an inexplicable wave of depression washed over me. Are Joo Seung-hyuk’s pheromones really that incredible? I’m curious about his pheromones. I want to smell them, even if it’s just once.
“If you just smell the pheromones, dating him is possi— Ah!”
Choi Da-eun screamed as Jeong So-eun poked her in the side.
“Hey, Jeong So-eun! Why did you hit me all of a sudden!”
“Who hit you? You’re completely wasted.”
“You did hit me!”
“I didn’t. I was just brushing some dust off your clothes.”
Jeong So-eun said, glancing at me.
“Dust my foot. Anyway, Joo Seung-hyuk sunbae’s pheromones are….”
“Hey! Try eating this!”
As Choi Da-eun tried to bring up pheromones again, Jeong So-eun hurriedly stuffed a snack into her mouth.
“Jeong So-eun, what are you doing!”
Choi Da-eun spat out the snack, clearly annoyed. Then, the freshmen sitting at her table began offering her food one after another.
“Da-eun, this is tasty too.”
“Choi Da-eun! Try some of this.”
They must be doing this to be considerate, fearing she would bring up pheromones in front of me again. After all, mentioning pheromones in front of a Beta who is dating someone with an Alpha or Omega trait is bad manners.
It wasn’t that Choi Da-eun had any ill intent. She either didn’t know I was a Beta or had simply forgotten because she was drunk.
And yet, I felt more depressed now than when I heard Seonbae Cho’s words, which were intended to provoke me by mentioning the chaebol thing.
Since it was a freshman’s mistake, I should just let it go. I knew that, but my mood continued to sink.
“Noona, Joon seems really drunk. I’ll take him back to the dorm.”
I stood up, using Kim Joon as an excuse.
“You will?”
Ji-hee noona asked, surprised.
“Yeah.”
“You’re leaving already?”
“Yeah. I only planned to show my face for a bit anyway.”
I hated the way people were walking on eggshells around me, and I had no desire to stay longer.
Since I was taking Kim Joon back, I might as well go home.
“Then do that.”
“Where is Joon’s dorm?”
“Joon is in Building 8. What was the room number again…. Hold on. I’ll ask Dong-seok.”
Jeong So-eun called someone named Dong-seok and quickly found the address.
“He said Building 8, Room 201.”
“Thanks, So-eun.”
“Oh, it’s nothing!”
She waved her hand dismissively.
“Joon, wake up. Let’s go.”
I woke up Kim Joon, who was still face-down.
“Uh, Yeon-soo sunbae…?”
Kim Joon blinked as he woke up.
“Let’s go to the dorm.”
“With you, Seonbae?”
“Yeah.”
“Ah, yes!”
As I lifted Kim Joon’s limp body to support him, he suddenly snapped awake and stood straight. Seeing Kim Joon standing upright, Jeong So-eun narrowed her eyes.
“Kim Joon, aren’t you sober now?”
“N-no, I’m not!”
“Joon, if you’re sober, go back on your own.”
As Ji-hee noona added, Kim Joon’s face turned bright red.
“I’m not! I’m still drunk!”
Seeing Kim Joon frantically shaking his head in panic was both cute and pitiful, so I quickly took his side.
“Right, there’s no way he’d sober up this suddenly. Joon, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
I supported Kim Joon and walked out of the auditorium.
“Ah, I’m fine. I’m not thaaat drunk, n-no, I’m not.”
For someone claiming not to be drunk, his pronunciation was slurred and his tongue was twisted. Moreover, with every step, his legs zig-zagged, and his large frame swayed.
“You’re drunk.”
I said, firmly gripping the arm draped over my shoulder. At that, Kim Joon’s face became sullen.
“Not thaaat much….”
How cute….
But why does my heart feel heavy while looking at this cute hubae….
If Joo Seung-hyuk saw Kim Joon like this right now, what would he think? He would definitely find him cute.
Kim Joon was taller and had a better build than I did. He was handsome and had solid muscles. Above all, he is an Omega….
“Seonbae….”
“Yeah?”
“Are you really dating Joo Seung-hyuk?”
“…….”
I was speechless at the sudden question.
“Seonbae, you can’t. You really can’t. Joo Seung-hyuk doesn’t suit you….”
“…I don’t suit him?”
“Yes. I mean, I wish you’d meet someone kind and caring. Joo Seung-hyuk isn’t….”
While I was listening to Kim Joon’s drunken rambling, a low voice pierced my ears.
“Hyung.”
I looked up and saw Joo Seung-hyuk in front of me.
“Seung-hyuk-ah….”
He approached with long strides and snatched Kim Joon away.
“What is this?”
Calling a person ‘this’….
“Joon got really drunk at the opening party, so I was going to walk him to the dorm. And then—no, before that, I was going to contact you! To go back home!”
I quickly added the last part, fearing that Joo Seung-hyuk’s obsession radar might have gone off. However, he wasn’t angry at all.
“…I’ll take him.”
“What…?”
Joo Seung-hyuk had no interest in others. The only exception was ‘me’.
He showed no interest in anyone other than me, and in fact, he used to get angry if he was even slightly entangled with others. And yet, instead of asking someone else, he was going to walk Kim Joon back himself…?
“What room?”
He even asked for the room number. He truly intended to take him back.
“…Building 8, Room 201.”
“Why does Hyung know this bastard’s room number?”
His voice instantly turned sharp. This was the timing where I should have been scared, but seeing Joo Seung-hyuk acting jealous honestly made me feel relieved.
“Joon’s classmate told me a moment ago.”
“Don’t remember things like that, just forget them.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll drop this one off, so go wait in the car.”
Joo Seung-hyuk handed me the car keys.
“Got it.”
Joo Seung-hyuk walked toward the dorms, carrying Kim Joon on his back.
