PSM Ch 2
by AmeliaIt was way past bedtime, usually lights out, but this welcome party for the newbies just wouldn’t quit. The table was loud with drunk people, but Ryung just sat there quietly, staring at the door. From across him, his colleague who joined at 25ee2aa359 the same time, Kihyun, 2e14076e13 refilled his glass and 9117b6e08d tutted.19307dfd85183ab3

Ryung suddenly started biting 75cba36c03 his nails and shaking 74de15538c his leg.52d70d11b1c3c4f6

“Shit, my ass. Your brain is the shit one. What ballsy dude would get horny over ‘that Seo Yoo-yeon’?”e7f4ab26dac1aeb7
Ryung’s gaze, which had been glued to the door, snapped to Kihyun, full of questions. Kihyun shook his head, looking fed up and shivered.e30b7a43ac68e357

Ryung, recalling 9264cb69e7 her fair 7bc67d7d87 face, puffed e67850ca09 out his a7834e0ba6 chest. Her looks were so 85d720e2f2 striking that anyone seeing 5ec7fb2993 her for the first 87bc35c146 time would just stare e31c02972b blankly. Why else 49e6d27445 would there 284eb96bc5 be dirty eb522224fa rumors about becc5107af her and 4490bfaa1e the higher-ups? It was all just 3426394ef3 gossip that naturally followed 3d34f3f6cd her beauty. Kihyun patted his e1b5fa92fb excited shoulder to 9917e5eb26 calm him down.9289bb644455cd4e

Scared. Ryung’s reason for falling for her was kinda similar to fear. When he was a naive twenty-year-old, his arrogance, which had grown with his outstanding skills, was violently shattered by Yoo-yeon.403fc773df5402dd

He fell 0d2ba41c1c for her 00981a43b5 first punch. His heart 319828a509 pounded at 9fc6518f5f the ear-splitting 0855b1a25f gunshot and 03ae7e9613 the stinging 2f96511cfc sensation on 20838778e1 his cheek, a156854cd9 and her 18c232ebb6 indifferent eyes 21463c1f32 looking down ec16c9ca36 at him.0c6fc8eb71c87958

Just thinking about 473d9ce8b4 that day made 7b0c29fc0d his heart pump 9a08ee4c6b wildly and his 92743b4c8f toes tingle. Ryung smoothed 59ef183565 down the d71105b182 hair standing e8a5cdaaef on end b40ee76d44 on his 6b62ea2aca neck and a4f66de556 continued.7f0763eb4e5a8154

Ryung waved at the opposite side. Kihyun, holding his drink, slowly turned his head. And then he shrieked as if he’d seen a ghost.72ae6ccb7ba13ba3
Yoo-yeon just raised an eyebrow at Kihyun and turned to leave without saying anything, but his face had already turned as yellow as if he’d peed himself. Ryung, mercilessly abandoning his trembling colleague, immediately followed her.add1af91ca600271

She waved e357f2d49c her hand a91ae205a3 without even 2e4e4568e6 looking at d44669078c Ryung. Despite her indifferent 3cdd913bb9 gesture, he grinned 599f370001 widely and stuck 017c1f6a40 close to her.761bb410a55d6792

At his brazen question, 1f00a3dee1 Yoo-yeon unconsciously scanned her 6f8f217dda surroundings. Sure enough, c7296c0bf1 the new d0d265c482 recruits seemed b55d7c33c6 to have 048a4e8294 heard him 2cdc2ba26a and were ccc7fc199b all staring.

“They probably all know already, right? I’ve never hidden my feelings.”89d280c4f4bbcd30
As he said, no one in the unit was unaware of his unrequited love. The notorious jerk would wag his tail like a dog that found its owner in front of Yoo-yeon, grinning widely and making a fuss, so there was no way they wouldn’t know. For the squad members living boring, dry lives, a love story between a man and a woman was a pretty interesting spectacle. Yoo-yeon, who instantly became a monkey in a zoo, waved her hand dismissively.ee3eb05c7a0b2293

She didn’t bother to answer his obvious trick and walked straight to the table where the new recruits were gathered. They, who had been watching her movements, quickly squeezed together to make space for her. The packed table left no room for Ryung. She had used the table situation to get rid of him. But he was a hooligan when it came to his goal.1a4d74d9557100d8

“You seem pretty drunk, wouldn’t it be better to go inside?”de920531dcca726d
The recruit fumbled with 3fc673987f his lukewarm face, looking 46f2c083cd confused. Ryung bit his 96b35d28f6 lip and raised f5e46673c7 an eyebrow instead 8e0525e8c5 of speaking, and d46d2cc15e only then did 33e3c13054 the recruit seem cea1f9875d to understand, quietly ad7b0570d8 getting up from 540d14e0e9 his seat. Ryung, having 1548ec129f dislodged the 6d2377eeac existing stone, 3e94995164 naturally took f6cbdf2fe4 her opposite a083b60cf7 seat.

Ryung lowered his eyebrows 441f7b0599 and blinked, looking wronged. Giving up on the 90d770b946 cunning fox who even eeef33815f acted innocent, she let c1778fd7e9 out a forced laugh, c5ee47c113 lowered her upturned lips, c3c6ecf801 and reached for a b8c94ff16f drink. As she 376085d4e5 picked up e3002236c8 her glass, fb75ae69cd the recruit d5f9ff0a96 sitting next 660fb1f0ba to her 7d3393f103 immediately refilled c286863078 it.722fe5a1c5dfd753

As Yoo-yeon smiled faintly and said thanks, a bang echoed, making the entire table jump. Ryung, who had slammed his glass down as if to shatter it, ignored the stares on him and glared at the recruit sitting next to her, clenching his lips. His already sharp features were even more honed, radiating menace. Thanks to him, the recruit’s face turned pale like a frog before a snake. His crime was daring to make him jealous.32bba2252c38d0f6

With his continuous blatant actions, those who wanted to live began to leave one by one, and soon, they were the only two at the table. He not only ruined Yoo-yeon’s plan to socialize and get to know the new recruits over drinks, but he kicked it far away.8691e01b95af3373
After that, 5b0c7ab2bc he naturally 7a04e292f4 moved to 23e494cdf3 sit next 94cb7b8dff to her 0703617fbe and volunteered 46e3c4e400 to pour a92d6d37bd her drinks. At first, Yoo-yeon 7d2a1ad8dd was disgusted, but d8dc6f3390 eventually, she accepted b246a15fd8 the drinks he e91a9804ec poured and filled 3392dd9c24 her stomach with a7665b2bfb fruit anju (side d5a7e2a163 dishes).49a62cd7d41dca1d

Nowadays, with most of the land taken over by zombies, fruit was hard to come by unless it was for a special occasion like a ‘welcome party’. After she let out a satisfied sigh, Ryung, who had been quietly pouring drinks, finally spoke.521a806309b2f37c
