The muscle pig walking around in a frilly maid outfit annihilated all of Juhan’s senses.
The built guy with a sports cut showed off a confident walk in pumps. Below the short skirt that seemed to require safety shorts was fishnet stockings.
Through the coarse net that couldn’t perform clothing’s function, sturdy calves and thighs were fully exposed. What’s more, thick hair grew bushy from the ankles to the upper thighs. The tough and fluffy stuff looked exactly like pubic hair rather than leg hair.
Seo Juhan opened his mouth and blinked. Displeasure flooded in like a tide, but as if addicted to the stench, he couldn’t take his eyes off it.
“Wow, fuck, those guys are no joke.”
Go Un standing next to him also let out an exclamation.
Even a crazy bastard couldn’t tolerate it, so it was indeed that level. If there was such a thing as a public indecency crime, they were criminals. It was admirable they weren’t kicked out of the arboretum.
His brown eyes fixed on the walking maid. Behind the maid walked a beanpole wearing a fluttering princess dress. The princess wasn’t just any princess either, but a ‘pink Gondu’. The two seemed to have brought costumes to take so-called ‘concept shots’.
Seo Juhan barely held back his churning stomach. He could become a gang boss right away with just a baseball bat, so why make such a reckless move?
Don’t tell me this bastard too……?
Seo Juhan looked up at Go Un with suspicious eyes.
Perhaps feeling the gaze, Go Un glanced down smoothly. When their eyes met, he gave a seemingly innocent smile.
Ugh…… At the spreading cheesiness, Seo Juhan scrunched up his eyebrows fiercely.
“Exam prep class! Gather here to take photos!”
Just then, a lifeline-like voice was heard from far away.
Seo Juhan glanced back behind the broad shoulders wrapped in a white shirt.
The zombies wandering on the lawn were slowly gathering as if searching for prey. Among them, several wore obviously peculiar outfits, making his vision go dark.
Go Un stood in place without budging. Even though it must have clearly reached his ears too.
“You’re number 1. What are you doing not going quickly?”
Seo Juhan urged with a look that said pathetic. Since he didn’t want to exchange even a single word, he garbled his voice to sound as much as possible like chewing gum.
“Aren’t you going, teacher?”
“What?”
“You should come too, teacher. Come watch me get my picture taken.”
Go Un raised and lowered his thick eyebrows while smiling loosely.
For some reason, his jet-black bead-like eyes were full of anticipation. Perhaps because of the clear background, a freshness spread like a grape bursting.
“Ah, stop your bullshit and go quickly.”
At that ticklish sensation, Seo Juhan grimaced in disgust.
“I said come watch.”
“They’re waiting. Hurry up and g-go.”
Seo Juhan raised his leg and kicked Go Un’s shin hard.
“Ugh!”
Go Un clutched his leg and bent his upper body.
Acting hurt when he’s not.
“Aren’t you going quickly?”
Seo Juhan raised his voice and this time lifted his knee. From the guy’s gleefully curved eyes, the bad acting was completely obvious. He didn’t even seem to want to hide it.
“Okay, okay. I’ll go, I’ll go.”
Go Un showed his palms as if surrendering while grinning. He backed away with a leisurely gait then turned sharply.
Ugh! Seo Juhan shook his head disapprovingly and took slow steps.
When he approached the area after dawdling, number 1 ‘adult’ was showing off as if he were a carbonated drink commercial model.
Fortunately, as soon as he arrived, the shoot ended and moved to the next number. Once was enough of the spectacle of passing pedestrians being fooled by the plausible appearance and sneaking glances.
While the students took turns taking individual photos, Seo Juhan hid in the crowd and watched from a distance.
Otherwise, there really was nothing to do.
Watching Choi Ilmo the pig who’d stripped his upper body to cosplay as a boxer was also torture.
Kim Gichan’s group who came wearing beanies and arm sleeves to pull off 2000s balladeer fashion was also a sight.
The plain clothes giving off a strong low-budget B-movie gangster vibe were rather decent.
After individual photos, group photos still remained.
Seo Juhan watched that comedy in the sunlight then turned his steps.
Right next to the grass plaza, he entered the magnificent four-season botanical garden reminiscent of an observatory. His destination was the café on the first floor that he’d checked out beforehand in the guide booklet.
He scanned the menu board above the register carefully then ordered a yogurt smoothie. He took the vibrating pager and claimed a spot in the most secluded corner.
It was a two-seater with a round table in the middle. Thanks to the large potted foliage plant blocking the side, it was perfect for avoiding eyes.
He exchanged the pager for the drink and returned to his seat. He sucked up the thick smoothie through the large-holed straw. The refreshing taste wasn’t strong, just richly sweet. It was perfect for Seo Juhan.
The cold air inside with the air conditioning on also made him generous.
He was savoring the artificial sweetness and cooling off from the heat. Someone plopped down in the chair opposite him.
Pffft! Seo Juhan involuntarily spat out what was in his mouth.
“……”
“……”
He belatedly covered his mouth with his hand, but it was already too late. Fortunately, since it wasn’t a large amount, it sprayed like mist.
Go Un stared blankly then belatedly wiped around his eyes with the back of his hand. Then brought it to his mouth and sucked.
“……Ah, sweet.”
“……”
“Teacher’s spit is sweet too, I guess.”
More than the out-of-context words, the black cat ears perked up on his head caught his attention.
“How is it, does it suit me?”
Perhaps noticing Juhan’s gaze, Go Un tapped his ear. Not his own ear, but the fluffy cat ear.
“I bought it a while ago when I went to Notdeworld.”
Seo Juhan scanned the people sitting around them.
The spacing between tables was wide, blocked by pots with broad leaves, and they were ordinary people completely unrelated to the school. Still, there was a possibility, so he controlled the level.
“Yeah. It’s so cute I want to kill you.”
He glared while sucking up the smoothie through the straw. He was ready to spray again, pretending it was an accident if things went wrong.
Go Un put his elbows on the table and stared.
Because of the posture, the firm forearms and shoulders wrapped in the white shirt stood out. However, because he was wearing that kind of headband, the intimidation factor dropped significantly.
“Why don’t you order burgers lately?”
“What?”
“Guess you don’t want to see me.”
Go Un pouted his lips with a sulky tone. An optical illusion occurred as if even the cat ears moved.
“……Am I crazy?”
At the voice that sounded disappointed, Seo Juhan was dumbfounded. Beyond dumbfounded, he was speechless to the point of bursting like a balloon.
Far from ordering, he was too scared someone might come, so he couldn’t even stay to study in the staff room. He was strictly observing quitting time like clockwork.
Not even knowing what he’d done wrong really made him seem like a total psycho.
“Why do you stand in the cafeteria during lunch these days?”
Go Un asked calmly as if it didn’t matter at all.
“The teachers take turns standing there.”
It was like meeting an old friend at a café after a long time and asking how they were.
Seo Juhan cursed with his eyes while glaring as hard as he could with his lips still on the straw end.
Jesus and his disciples, who shamelessly cut in line at the cafeteria and occupied the optimal seats, flashed before his eyes.
“To see me?”
Go Un cupped his cheeks with his huge hands.
Crazy…… The smoothie almost went down the wrong pipe. Seo Juhan coughed, choking.
“Oh my.”
Go Un held out a brown tissue from the tray.
Seo Juhan batted away the approaching hand with the back of his hand. He cleared his throat with a fake cough to compose himself. He dabbed the tears that leaked from the corners of his eyes with his knuckle.
“Why would I be crazy…… It’s because I’m worried you guys might cause another scene in the cafeteria.”
He didn’t hold back his rising anger and got mad openly. Perhaps because he’d choked, the end of his voice cracked sharply.
Feeling his throat catch, he gulped down the yogurt smoothie through the straw. Thanks to the cold sweetness that echoed in his throat, he could forget what was really giving him a headache.
“Hmm.”
Go Un casually scanned Seo Juhan’s reddened eyes.
“Ah, I finally figured out how to differentiate tangent.”
Seo Juhan just rolled his eyes as if asking what nonsense now.
“The thing teacher told me last time to just memorize and solve.”
“……”
“I looked it up myself and understood the principle.”
Go Un made a V with his chin while making a “Keu~!” sound. It was a gesture saying he was very proud and admirable of himself.
“Come on, you can praise me.”
Then he bent his upper body and thrust his black crown forward. Because of that, Seo Juhan almost got his eye poked by the pointy yet fluffy cat ear tip.
“Originally this cat doesn’t like being petted, but teacher is allowed.”
This guy must be really crazy.
Seo Juhan just opened his mouth slightly with dazed eyes.
“Come on.”
When there was no reaction, Go Un thrust his head forward again, urging.
“……”
Seo Juhan froze as if seeing a ghost. He looked down at the plump headband with black fur sprouting, then shook his shoulders as if shaking off goosebumps. Then picked up a brown tissue to calm his startled heart.
“Hey, please…… Stop talking nonsense and please just fuck off.”
Seo Juhan gritted his teeth while wiping the smooth table with the tissue. The diluted liquid that had been scattered in drops was wiped away. It was the yogurt smoothie he’d spat out earlier.
