33 – My Hero (9)

“…….thank god.”

Solas replied with a smile. Then, naturally, they eat snacks.

But I hesitate.

“….what does it mean?”

“….yes? ah!”

Solas immediately wiped his mouth and shook his hand.

“That, I don’t mean that… Suyeon told me.”

“What did you say?”

“I am not interested in dating. I will never fall in love.”

“…You always say that to me too.”

“…So. It might have been difficult if my brother liked it.”

“…Maybe it was.”

I muttered.

At that moment, Song Soo-yeon’s head falls off my shoulder.

I wondered if she was going to fall, so I reached out and gently touched her forehead.

But she didn’t fall. It was waking up.

She straightened her back and said in a heavy voice.

“…Mister…go home.”

“woke up? When did you wake up?”

“…I… don’t feel good inside. go home.”

“…I seem to have a hangover.”

She was so drunk that even now it seems like a burden. It’s like the fact that she didn’t let go of my arm that she hugged.

His tongue is loose, and he continues to vomit. Even small teardrops were caught in his eyes.

I looked down at our table.

I did eat all the snacks. I’ve had enough to drink, too.

“Shall we end here today?”

I said to Solas.

“…umm…yes…”

Solas’ voice radiates regret. Looking at her like that, I laughed under my breath and said with my mouth.

‘The next opportunity will come.’

Solas’ eyes widened as she looked at me. I pointed at Song Soo-yeon with my chin. I meant to convince her.

Only then did Solas smile like me. Then he got up from his seat.

“Sooyeon. wake up. I’ll take you home.”

Song Soo-yeon shook her head.

“I’m dizzy…”

I was scratching my head. There was only one way, but I hesitated for a moment because I was afraid that it would look like I was taking advantage of a drunken situation.

Still, she can’t do well here.

Even falling asleep in the cold while drunk can be dangerous.

“Sooyeon, would you like to climb up then?”

Song Soo-yeon looked up at me for a moment. Then he bowed his head and gave a short nod.

I sat down next to her chair.

Then, without hesitation, Song Soo-yeon was carried on my back.

strength in her arms hug my neck tightly It seems that alcohol changes people a lot.

Wrap your arms around her thighs to keep her from falling. I just feel guilty.

She hates skinship so much, so there’s something even more like that.

Still, she said she would understand, and since I was only doing this with good intentions, I tried to put aside unnecessary thoughts.

Solas asks, pointing to the table.

“Brother, let me help you clean this up.”

“No, no. Go home. I think I have to take Suyeon home as well.”

“However….”

“You are a guest. just go You don’t have to go to work tomorrow either.”

“It’s still early evening, so there’s still time…”

“Spring.”

I called her calmly. Song Soo-yeon’s arm gets stronger again.

“…..Go home and rest. I’ll do it.”

Solas looks at me and nods.

“…….Okay. Thank you, brother.”

“What.”

We leave the store soon.

Lift the door lock cover once and close it to lock the door.

Solas put a coat on Song Soo-yeon’s back.

We soon saw each other.

“Today was fun. I want to shake hands, but it must be difficult because of Suyeon.”

“yes. are you okay. I had fun too.”

“I’ll go.”

“yes.”

In a way, it was a flat breakup, but if you think of the breakup I usually did with Solas, it was the most common and clean.

Usually, most of them were scattered after fighting.

And I was much better off with this breakup.

I turn around.

And started walking towards the house.

I felt like I had to get there quickly before Song Soo-yeon caught a cold or vomited on my back.

Even now, the slight gagging can be felt through the body that touched it.

…..By the way, her breasts are big too.

“brother.”

“Uh..? Huh?”

When I am caught thinking impure thoughts, I am even more startled.

I quickly calmed myself down and turned to Solas, who had called for me.

“why?”

“…there’s one thing I didn’t tell you.”

“…..yes. Tell me.”

Solas hesitated for a long time after that.

I thought I knew why I didn’t want to go home earlier.

Maybe he wanted this story to end and the drinking party to end.

Anyway, what the hell is the story that I couldn’t tell even after drinking three or four bottles?

“…There is one more reason I came to see you.”

“…Besides trying to learn?”

“….yes.”

“…..What?”

She looks at the floor for a moment, then smiles. And then he spoke to me with confidence.

“…..Didn’t you step out like that to protect the ‘younger brother you knew’?”

“…..yes.”

“I was envious of that ‘knowing brother’. That there is someone who protects you like that.”

I stopped and listened to Solas.

“…A hero… has no one to protect him. As Soo-yeon said, we are human too… but there are times when it is difficult.”

“…….”

“…So maybe that’s why I wanted to meet you for a bit. I too… I need a hero.”

“…….”

“hehehehe. All I have to say is this Am I really going?”

Solas covered his face and waved.

And, in an instant, it flies high into the sky and disappears. Didn’t even wait for my greeting.

Even after she left, I stood still, unable to move.

It was a bit of a shock. Solas has a part like that.

I already knew that she had a lot of compassion and tears, but I didn’t know that she had ‘weakness’.

As he was the only opponent I couldn’t defeat, I thought he would always be strong.

Not that I was disappointed.

Rather, it felt more human and closer.

As much as you tell me that, I realize that our relationship has definitely changed.

no longer an enemy

I looked up at the sky where Solas had left and moved on.

Could it have been 5 minutes?

“……Should I really accept Solas-nee?”

Song Soo-yeon asked quietly.

“Oh, what a surprise.”

Lost in thought, I flinched again.

“Were you awake…?”

He picks up Song Soo-yeon once again.

She buried her head on my shoulder and continued to ask.

“…You and I… don’t get along too fast…?”

“…that’s good.”

“……Still.”

“……?”

“…I guess you’re closer…than me.”

Sniffing my nose, which naturally flowed in the winter cold, I chewed on Song Soo-yeon’s words.

Solas is good at being sociable, so even so, it seemed awkward for Song Soo-yeon to feel that I, who was not, also talked a lot.

It might have felt strange to her when the same friend suddenly spoke easily.

He tried not to show it, but his intimacy with Solas seemed to visibly ooze out.

I’m not stupid. Since Song Soo-yeon didn’t hate me, a lot of things became new.

There were also emotions that could be felt through this conversation. I read the sadness.

Even if I was really closer to Solas, now was not the time to make such excuses. It was time to take care of Song Soo-yeon, who said all kinds of things when she was drunk.

Both I and she are in a position to care for each other.

“Sooyeon, you know what?”

“…..what.”

“Do you know when I was most surprised at this dinner party?”

“……I don’t really want to hear about you.”

“It was when Suyeon talked about the taste of soju.”

I could feel Song Soo-yeon’s hardened body slowly loosening up.

I waited for her reaction for a while.

Song Soo-yeon buried her eyes on my shoulder and asked as if muttering.

“……why.”

“Because I said the same thing as Suyeon when I first drank soju.”

“…………”

“…I talked too much with Solar, no, Bom today, right? Leave Suyeon alone.”

“……”

“I didn’t mean to do that, I was waiting for Suyeon to speak first.”

“……You are lying.”

“It’s true.”

A small laugh passed her lips. It was her laughter that I wouldn’t have heard if it hadn’t been for me.

The atmosphere is getting brighter.

I proposed to her

“Shall we share the story we couldn’t finish at the drinking party?”

“……..”

“…..yes?”

“……Did you do it?”

“Hmm…where should I start… So, the first taste of soju was nothing special. How are you eating? I said nothing special and got drunk first.”

Song Soo-yeon’s laughter grew a little louder. It was a laugh tinged with shame. If it was normal, he would have screamed or cursed at me, but now he reacted in a more gentle and docile manner, perhaps because he was drunk or because he was being carried by me.

Even so, as if he wanted to build up his last pride, he raised his fingernail and pressed lightly on my shoulder.

Compared to the many rebellions he had done before, it was a cute level.

….No, it was actually cute.

So I smiled too. It was becoming the perfect drinking party for me.

she said, calming her laugh.

“……Don’t you understand?”

“okay?”

“…..yes. So next time… let’s drink together.”

Alghamo’s warmth rides over her words. I nodded slowly.

“…..okay.”

i promised There was nothing that couldn’t be done.
