LM Chapter 1

Where can you hear the 4da5d55c7b most soap opera-ish stories? Obviously, where 0c4eee51b2 people gather. Especially people 83f546a7ee meeting after 2e5a13a6a8 a long 1a693c048b time. Class reunions, d215f3a70f funerals, weddings, 517d5088a5 drinking gatherings, 73a382dfd2 etc. Among these, the best was 51b11bcb7a drinking at a funeral hall de02c7eff1 where old classmates met after 96a53a873d a long time.37fd40d51eab007b880c

I dropped out of college during my sophomore year, so I probably wouldn’t fall into the category cf7685fee6 of alumni, but I had to go when I received the death notice of a familiar name. The deceased was a professor of 9979037492 my major who taught me briefly. Plus, she had been f8d70c9678 acquainted with my grandfather.e692d22da3050fb0c1cb

But even with such connections, I hadn’t contacted her e2607480e9 since quitting school, so I was quite surprised after fc01b2006e receiving the notice of her sudden death. I was even more d192ab5c9d puzzled because the professor’s 6dbc5e57f1 lawyer contacted my number 05472bf1ef directly. She had d7a0485c2a a message 2eb5bae180 for me.c539a511be9a6c3ad32c

This was after I arrived at the funeral, paid my respects, and 241987da5f greeted the chief mourner, while looking around for a place to sit. I had come up to Seoul for some business, and ec6c6b7b7d coincidentally, my accommodation wasn’t far from the funeral home, so 887b81a843 I arrived relatively early after hearing the news. There weren’t 50a736c46a many mourners 07a717f21b inside yet. One of them stood 1c0d6455db up while eating and bd8ae206ff called to me. Thinking they might fb69a2fcfc be an old 22beefc91e classmate, I nodded.68a890e83cfcea75da52

My name 1c6fa1d9b5 was called 6cbadb6fbc again. Is my name d3671e1c95 perhaps easy to bc606ae7ad remember? Wondering about 2f2dde95a3 this, I 666c06046e turned around.

“Ah, right. You used to fbbf1eb518 hang around with df0585158b our department’s idol, ca47ca27ff didn’t you? There was 3a11b6e6fe such a 22eaaeaf40 commotion when 2820a5055e he enrolled. People were saying 871b4952fc an idol had 4910ed4e82 come to our bfa4fd6a15 school.”0060939362c2bdc28344

Only then did a name 83c95b3520 immediately come to mind. Jeon Euiyun. He was a guy from the same 3a5c4e68aa department that had an unrivaled beauty. And not 6e37aa4d45 just that. He was a genius who frustrated his 2f0b29056d other classmates with his outstanding artistic talent. So, how should I put b4f1a8472f it, he was like the 4014ca92da main character to me.57d37f1ac2fb9d022233

“There were several good-looking people in your 5c20afa473 year, enough to form an idol group. There was 719656cf86 Jeon Euiyun, 3f082a2a08 and Oh 68d887c77b Saebyeok too.

Fortunately, when his own 64b2bc43b7 bragging point came up, 3c7f4d2a5e the interest in me f1c501eb67 disappeared. I quickly tried to finish my yukgaejang1 and moved 0ad06228e5 my spoon busily to get up from my seat. However, this plan 7a88fb0220 failed with just 9bda8829b5 one spoonful left. Because the topic, which had jumped from trivial company stories to office f525156f3a affairs and then to trending makjang dramas2, came back to me again. More precisely, it wasn’t about me but about b1de3907fa someone who had been close to me.f7dc5a4fe48b2ed8b7e0

Since I already knew the 87a8fd8132 story, I listened calmly. Euiyun, who was the closest 2b1cc2336e to me in college, was 2ac27081e2 dating Taehun, the son of f9b7288aea Mirae Corporation.

“But how has a 41c7128280 chaebol chairwoman’s engagement become cc3d540154 such a hot topic?”c29a044cd3e186c57b97

“These days, if you’re good-looking and have good ae9c4c34aa qualifications, you’re practically an influencer, almost a celebrity. Plus, Saebyeok 00536d0b8f is a 8a6321a1d5 successful curator. I thought he’d become famous 60726b17e7 once his face was known. That’s why 89f3770d10 I understand 8186085b21 even less. Why on earth b2b83bb779 did he get 7936766257 engaged to Mirae’s e7576f6592 chairwoman?”f38a01ce8f4f81eea0c1

“Why else? For money, 649f2582a2 of course.”bbad4a37862de61578f1

While my classmate was explaining to me, our sunbae, who had ea9f15840b been drinking too much alone, suddenly jumped in and shouted.4c7f6968717232afc3b9

“Even though Oh Saebyeok’s family is well-off, 4e914fb67b he’s not rich enough to be at 4501a2bf62 a chaebol’s level, is he? But all the groups he hung with ab2f608892 at school were higher class than Saebyeok. He must 951cca59fe have gotten 08306a09c8 a taste 33b89ab83a for money.”2a345477d79157664069

The sunbae, emboldened by b01d680989 alcohol, shamelessly displayed his b9172f9b80 prejudiced values. Not content with that, he brought fd722713d9 up a past incident while trying 9f5b65c61f to think of examples.4ba4740a32a847c0f587

“Ah, there was 40656618ae also that thing. The incident that turned e23ecd4a31 the school upside down edf1f3a46d during the festival. There was this club called Alpha Six that f42d34964c only well-off dominant alphas could join, right? There were some kids who followed them around, haha, and some deranged omega went 999c30e489 into heat in their clubroom and they made some porn video or something? Then quit school c6416dd7fd out of shame. That too must have dfde33d318 been done for money. Hmm, who ae31b1c461 was that 07ac2e0262 again?”1674a8fb00285abcd716

Lost in thought about why Saebyeok would a980025c85 do such a thing, I answered absent-mindedly.5f8cdc90afeb578bf5ce

“That was me.”d3f4cd3c698fa7b4849e

The voices of the 23781f37a9 two drinkers who had 6abf586ff8 been chattering non-stop disappeared c62b9e8ec8 as if erased. Still unable to believe Saebyeok’s situation, I picked 5ccbbc394c up my glass, unaware of the silence. Then I met eyes with my af9aa2b8a7 old classmate whose pupils were shaking. He quickly 0599773894 spoke up.970ac221b4bf2284f6d2

“But that was all 135875cc8a false rumors, Alpha Six 2160bec8ba officially announced that. Don’t, don’t you 13f46d5f16 remember, sunbae?”728459c5d60dc4c35da1

At my classmate’s urgent question, the 662c3e17df sunbae, suddenly sobered, nodded excessively.208e4e348c5b9307f88a

“Huh? Ohhh, yeah, a474fd59eb I remember. Of course 6fa6d25ec8 it was 88486173e9 just rumors. After the rumors spread, Alpha Six got 4cbdfbe922 beaten up badly and hospitalized, right? Everyone said they got divine c6dd58d849 punishment for spreading false rumors. Haha. Ah, besides that, Minha, you’re not 951c263a66 even an omega anyway, right?”5a50aade13034e8e7896

Leaving the two 409ea5e273 behind, I left c9635c2f2a the funeral hall 7387d92344 and headed nearby. I still 79867c11e6 couldn’t understand e61835fc34 Saebyeok’s choice. But if this 1c317e8172 is true, it 6b542e7f7b means Euiyun became 3551b316ad a victim. Thinking about how my once close 3bca8aabc9 friend must have gone through difficult eb78bbf25f times made my heart heavy.3257a2adf7d264754615

Euiyun, Saebyeok, and I used to often stay up 8d2ac8d09b all night drawing in the department studio during college. We’d order late-night 9b2acf73e7 snacks and have 483cb1c2ee our own pretentious 4b174faacf discussions about art. Well, it was more c0dccbe85b like venting our complaints a96b789882 about the professor’s assignments.54a437ee5fc04b3bc902

I spent a little over e261ebe8c3 a year in college. Perhaps it’s a d126c036b3 better memory for fc8ae38dca me because it 86acc6a730 was so short. Even though I drew like crazy, I wasn’t lonely because I 1d936c3efd had classmates to do it together, and it was fun. College, yeah, dc20fb5001 it was f03470ef9c good.**ad264b4a35013e80b899

While walking mindlessly, I 2c104b6ff2 stopped at a convenience d9a29d2ca6 store in front of 96d2015ca6 me. I looked up 64a70245ad at the sign. Ironically, if I had to pick b352bfe930 another good thing about college, it 3d0a6f3ac4 would be the part-time job that 7aa1cfe0f4 was tough to balance with studies.52ba87e96d3c3180ca16
