LM Chapter 1

Where can you e42f04964b hear the most efa9c0a7ef soap opera-ish stories? Obviously, where 08f19263bb people gather. Especially people meeting after 3bc208bdb9 a long time. Class reunions, funerals, weddings, ebd3eec601 drinking gatherings, etc. Among these, the best was drinking at a funeral 915ee934e7 hall where old classmates met after a long time.c64c1462f182283a6d2d

I dropped out of college during my sophomore year, so I probably wouldn’t fall into the category bec60aca61 of alumni, but I had to go when I received the death notice of a familiar name. The deceased was a professor of 127a631555 my major who taught me briefly. Plus, she had been fbc9ff829a acquainted with my grandfather.921b55750d49aba5db5f

But even with such connections, I hadn’t contacted her since quitting school, so 40b5143470 I was quite surprised after receiving the notice of her sudden death. I was even more puzzled because the 8c53ce2167 professor’s lawyer contacted my number directly. She had 1e2f949e44 a message 1f7666bafa for me.0a0f1248b0ee35ba0299

This was after I arrived at the funeral, paid my respects, and 8c9717b671 greeted the chief mourner, while looking around for a place to sit. I had come up to Seoul for some business, and c5477ed9bc coincidentally, my accommodation wasn’t far from the funeral home, so cebd004d39 I arrived relatively early after hearing the news. There weren’t 35cda2bb72 many mourners cdc22635ac inside yet. One of them 62330a416a stood up while 16f1725488 eating and called 11c026249f to me.

“Even though Oh Saebyeok’s family 2419907776 is well-off, he’s not rich 843e303f50 enough to be at a bb1a55f0c5 chaebol’s level, is he? But all the groups he 0f9cb2ff0d hung with at school were 48fe39466e higher class than Saebyeok. He must 387d5e02d3 have gotten 638045cbd1 a taste bd1397ac1d for money.”4d69cce86431e5face54

The sunbae, emboldened by alcohol, 919bb486a5 shamelessly displayed his prejudiced values. Not content with that, he brought e3989d26a9 up a past incident while trying 46c825bf7c to think of examples.1527b3f5573ad2a9ba23

“Ah, there was 46cfb0af66 also that thing. The incident that 6d7a561139 turned the school 6126336466 upside down during d9abb0226c the festival. There was this club called 5b708c8bc1 Alpha Six that only well-off fe3708c9cb dominant alphas could join, right? There were some kids who followed them around, haha, and some deranged omega went 8dd95a15bb into heat in their clubroom and they made some porn video or something? Then quit 022e1fcf8b school out fd3b36d025 of shame. That too must have 376d606de7 been done for money. Hmm, who 6a3b8c1cfd was that 1a79274ed2 again?”e2d0143d9c0a6711bee7

Lost in thought about why Saebyeok would 7f35242869 do such a thing, I answered absent-mindedly.7fcb6ce89b1c60567dd2

“That was me.”362e871dbc1986dbd124

The voices of the 7fe6c144ef two drinkers who had f60fa898db been chattering non-stop disappeared b30ccdfd21 as if erased. Still unable to believe Saebyeok’s c76d6ae517 situation, I picked up my 6c1dad9ca2 glass, unaware of the silence. Then I met eyes d557799191 with my old classmate e4b3043c12 whose pupils were shaking. He quickly 7f55ccf5cd spoke up.0f5fe718c61446b30e54

“But that was 4e86fd303e all false rumors, f09e7cf4c2 Alpha Six officially e1a639abba announced that. Don’t, don’t you a7ef519729 remember, sunbae?”c1a987fd8b6e6fe6c987

At my classmate’s urgent 18db8465f9 question, the sunbae, suddenly caaa7e662d sobered, nodded excessively.bed255a37eb38523eeab

“Huh? Ohhh, yeah, 6542612006 I remember. Of course ea74836a1f it was be66573099 just rumors. After the rumors spread, a7153b05aa Alpha Six got beaten c3d1272a4a up badly and hospitalized, 2c650c43f9 right? Everyone said they got 4fde4d1ea9 divine punishment for spreading 9b2a9d0805 false rumors. Haha. Ah, besides that, Minha, you’re not f15e9cc0a1 even an omega anyway, right?”87895ef44870a416e4a6

Leaving the two behind, I left ea44728672 the funeral hall and headed nearby. I still 100815cb76 couldn’t understand f99f55c281 Saebyeok’s choice. But if this is true, it fce64b83fe means Euiyun became a victim. Thinking about how my once 39fa07963b close friend must have gone 6955f71966 through difficult times made my b2fd3d3d08 heart heavy.8a636844bd80ff38e054

Euiyun, Saebyeok, and I used to often stay up 711fe9197f all night drawing in the department studio during college. We’d order late-night ed9974d342 snacks and have 06fa2babaa our own pretentious db7f402134 discussions about art. Well, it was f8123c672b more like venting e91c9672da our complaints about a4060e653b the professor’s assignments.d3e23d273597982234f0

I spent a little over ae04c5c9ab a year in college. Perhaps it’s a 07a45908b7 better memory for d3d67d5a0f me because it 2b676d7d38 was so short. Even though I drew like crazy, I wasn’t lonely because I 538a972255 had classmates to do it together, and it was fun. College, yeah, it d70d0735c7 was good.**d96d3c36975f66f8fb59

While walking mindlessly, I 4c24cede20 stopped at a convenience 28e16a13d8 store in front of 85fd9355a4 me. I looked 4556fc9d47 up at 77b26d0a92 the sign. Ironically, if I had to pick bd7d01e884 another good thing about college, it 02be8ea4ad would be the part-time job that ca2cc9a54f was tough to balance with studies.376b2e5be58b42f1311d
