Bab 51: Slain Beast
As the dinner continued, you could visibly tell So-young's mood worsening and A-yeong's chatting with me getting louder and louder as she started getting into it.
I'm sure A-yeong is relishing in So-young's pain and discomfort. She is basking in the schadenfreude right now, the little sadist.
Well, this isn't to say I'm not talking to So-young. She isn't that far from me, but it's just that Yeon-min keeps interrupting her while subtly bragging about his money.
By subtle, I mean he constant shakes his golden watch, moving T-shirt's collar to show off whatever "chest" he has and even sometimes trying to cutely grin at her.
However, the shaking of his watch kept making an annoyingly loud jingle sound, the chest he was showing off looked like he was a promiscuous fat woman and his grin looked like he just NTR my girlfriend.
A truly disgusting and sad sight to see. God really does have ways of balancing this work, doesn't he?
"Oh yeah! Check this video- clink clink cling! out! It's so funny!"
Even his own watch interrupts him, it's so loud.
So-young stares at his obnoxiously big watch and starts making google eyes at me while making small talk. Double ouch, Yeon-min.
Please. At first this was funny and even now, it's funny. However, I'm starting to feel bad for him. It's the same feeling as making fun of a person with a mental disorder.
It may be funny, but some time later, you'll feel bad about it while laughing. It's something like that. This is so sad. I'd better hire some call girls for him to cheer him up.
"So Min-chul, how's your hip? I heard from dad that it was painful? Do you need a massage or something? I could help!"
"Ahhh, that would be amazing if you don't mind. It's a bit sore right now, but it isn't as bad as it was in the pool"
A-yeong was about to say something to make the initiative, but So-young already took her massage idea. Even worse for her, I agreed!
"Ahhhh, isn't it easier if you had two people massaging you? Then, we'd be done twice as fast, then we'd be able to hang out or something!"
"No no A-yeong. You don't need to trouble yourself with this trivial matter"
"Trivia matter and Min-chul don't go together in the same sentence, So-young. I. Insist"
With their little back and forth tennis occurring in front of me, Young-jae and Mi-cha, I wryly smile in apology at them.
They did kind of want to be lovey-dovey until they saw Yeon-min and it ruined the mood. So-young and I would tease them for being all close, but it's different when someone else teases them.
Even as a slow-minded person, he can tell by the atmosphere around So-young that she isn't talking to him and is talking to me.
What an astute observation, my good sir.
So, he uses his big human brain to calculate the best action to do in this situation. Walk away? No. Start asking about her? No. Asking about her day? No no no.
He chooses none of these. Instead, he tries a brilliant move on her; one that is sure to get her on his side!
"Hey So-young! Why are you paying so much attention to him? I'm sure he's fine with that hip of his. Nobody even watches swimming! As if he would win anyways..."
'Ouch. I've never been so offended at something I totally agree with. Nobody really watches swimming for the swimming. They watch it for the SWIMMING'
However, I only have one qualm with his little rant...I don't win? I, Kim Min-chul, multiple gold medalist at the district championships, don't win?
What a joke.
I was about to calmly and gently rebuke him, until I saw who was next to him. Well, it's more of what the person next to him was doing.
So-young, the usually lovely girl who is just a bit passionate about me, is shaking in her seat and is seething with anger.
Her eyes were trembling and red, her mouth was shaking and slightly open in shock, her fists clenched shut and her teeth grinding into a fine powder.
I've seen her with A-yeong, and it's nothing like this. She isn't this angry.
A-yeong would really love to see her destroy her image in front of me, but she also knows that this is a bit much. Even if she'll ruin her image, she'd ruin her chances at finding a job as well.
Prison isn't too good to go to when you're just a middle school, is it?
A-yeong lightly tugs on So-young's skirt underneath the table and tables her thigh. I'm not sure about this little secret code of theirs, but it seems to work.
So-young, who was previously about to commit some sort of assault, dug her nails into her leg and finally calmed down. Thankfully, Yeon-min wasn't hurt.
I hate him to death, but it doesn't mean I want him dead...well, maybe I do want him dead, but not by So-young! That wouldn't be good.
"Yeon-min sshi..."
"Eeekkk!"
Her cold and murky eyes stare into Yeon-min's soul while her face still has a warm smile on it. Her face says isekai priestess, but her eyes say crazed lover.
Or blind person. It's very unsettling when a blind person "stares" at you. It's like you don't even exist and it makes you feel small, that's what's happening with Yeon-min and So-young.
"Please don't speak false truths about Min-chul when it fits your narrative. You said he doesn't win? He is literally the most winning-est swimmer in the district leagues. Don't lie, please. It isn't attractive"
As she carefully dissected his argument against me, you could see his face distorting in annoyance. After all, a girl, a lowly girl who isn't even rich is insulting him.
From his incorrect facts to him adding opinions in his little rant a while ago, she disassembled him and started burning the pieces of his argument one by one.
It took her nearly 5 minutes of her straight talking before she took a breath. 5 minutes! She could be an amateur free diver with those kinds of lungs!
What a beast!
Finally, her explanation of why Yeon-min is wrong which suddenly turned into a rant about how great I am, stopped. 10 while minutes of her talking about how great I am.
It's like she was my messenger and I was a God. She was so fanatical, that her previously murky eyes had regained their vigor.
What really scared me though, was that A-yeong found something to agree with So-young with. She was nodding her head and stroking her chin like a sage.
From all the topics where they could agree, they agree to start a fanatical Kim Min-chulism? Chulism? Seriously...did I just unconsciously name my own religion?
I feel a bit embarrassed and my face blushes. This is usually a rare occasion, so that's what stop So-young. She was busy looking at my blushing align with A-yeong while giving commentary like I'm a painting.
"Hmmm, I see I see. It's a really well sculpted piece, isn't it, So-young"
"I agree entirely. The red on his cheeks really accentuate his beautiful-ness and epic awesome-ness"
'Since when was I the one being teased by a woman? It's been so long...'
Right now, the roles of So-young and Yeon-min have switched, with Yeon-min seething with anger and So-young blissfully ignorant.
"F-fine! If you don't want me here, I'll leave! Hana! Hwa-young! Let's leave this disgusting place!"
He slams his heavy arms down on the table, causing the food on the plates to bounce up and making all eyes in us. Everyone sees our face...and then Yeon-min's face...and understands.
He walks over to Hana and Hwa-young who were enjoying themselves and taking with some girls and grabs them by their wrist. With a light shriek, they follow after him reluctantly.
'Wahhhh, I wonder why I let garbage in?'
And so, the dinner ended quite fast and we got home all safe and sound. Mom was slightly angry since I "smelled like woman" but she got over it quickly when I kissed her cheek.
Bribery is good!
