125: Troublesome friends

"Stop it hyung! You are drunk!" Yeon Hoon's friend wants to snatch the can from his hand but failed.

"Nooo! Let meee have thiiiiis oone! I proooomise! It will beeee the last one!" he was saying this being drunk.

"Hyung! Stop it! You finished eight cans already!" his friend kept trying to take the can from his hand.

"Hehehe! See! I am sober yet! Can you stay sober after drinking eight cans?" he was behaving strangely.

"Ah! I know! You are sober! That's why I am telling you to stop or else who will look after me if I get drunk?" his friend said and give a fake smile.

"Ah! I see! That's why? Okay, I will stop drinking!" saying this he extended his hand to his teammate. His friend tried to take it but Yeon Hoon took his hand back and laughed,

"Haha! You fool! You think you can fool me?" saying this he finished this can too.

The bag of alcohol was kept on one side and when his friend saw that he finished the can and going to get one more he jumped over him and snatched the bag and stood up in a corner of the room.

"Ei! Give me that!" Yeon Hoon was laughing and went close to him. He extended his hand and asking for the bag.

"No! I am not giving it to you!" he was hiding the bag.

"Why? Why? Whyyyyy?" Yeon Hoon shouted. When he realized that his friend was not gonna give him the bag, he gets emotional.

"Why? I will just have one more!" he cried out.

"Hyung? Do you want to die?" he asked. He couldn't finish one can but within that time, Yeon Hoon finished nine cans and he was asking for more.

He went back and sat down on the floor again.

"Why you did that to me? What did I do that wrong? I just wanted to be happy! You guys always do this to me! She also did that to me! Why?" he shouted and cried again.

"Who did what to you?" his friend become curious and came to him. Yeon Hoon was wiping his eyes and pout his lips. He was looking very cute so his friend smiled though he should hold his smile back.

"She. I loved her but she said she is an old lady. She is married. She hides that from me. No wonder, I am that handsome!" he was saying this because he was drunk. Otherwise, he didn't wish to tell this to anyone else.

"Who is the she, hyung?" he asked again and sat down beside him.

"The salon girl. Do you remember?" he asked his friend.

"There were four girls, hyung! And each of them was married." replied his friend and understand which place did he mentioned.

"Ah! That's why PD took us there?" He became more sad.

"No! That's not true! He took us there because that was his wife's salon," he replied.

"Ah! I didn't know about it. Why you didn't tell that earlier?" he was drunk so he didn't realize what he was saying.

"Why I have to tell you? You didn't say anything about any girl! If you tell me I can give you the information!" his friend surprised and said.

"But, what should I do now? She told me not to meet with her again. How can I live without seeing her face?" he got teary eyes again.

"Hyung! Aren't you happy with us? That girl may leave you but we will always stay beside you! Your mom, dad will be there for you! Can't you be happy by seeing our faces? Are we nothing to you? We all love you so much. And I know you will overcome it because we will make you. Music will make you. Your second girlfriend was music, right? Then make it first! And how can you keep a girlfriend when you have so many?" he was trying to console his elder brother.

"Won't you ever leave me?" Yeon Hoon asked with a pitiful voice.

"Never!" he said in a cute voice.

"Promise?" he asked while being sleepy.

"Promise!" his friend replied.

"Can I lean on you?" Yeon Hoon asked.

"Sure!" his friend said. And after that Yeon Hoon leaned on his friend and closed his eyes. His throat was hurting because he never cried that much.

"My throat is aching," he said to his friend being cute.

"Ah! I will send the pain away." saying this he touched his throat and blow on his neck.

"Thank you! You are the best." Yeon Hoon said and within a few minutes, he falls asleep. His friend noticed it and felt relieved.

"Phew! I didn't know you are going through this hard time! But, I am glad that the girl left you. Otherwise, if PD know about it, you would have banned that I can't bear. Though you are aggressive with everything, you messed up everything, you are our brother and I can't let you be hurt for anyone. If I knew about her, I would make you stop to meet her or talk with her. But, what happened was good for you. I am glad that the thing didn't go too far." He was blabbering with himself and looked at his friend who was in deep sleep. He didn't want to disturb his friend so he was sitting on the floor like that without moving.

[Inside the restaurant]

The chaos was reduced because it was being late and people started to leave the place. But the three of them were still sitting there while discussing what they should do and how they will do it. Two of them were very curious while discussing it. But one of them was not excited that much. He was feeling like go and do whatever you want but he can't say that. He was feeling annoyed because there was a lot of conversation going around him. He wanted to spend some time alone but he couldn't as they were still discussing about the case.

"Thank you! I can catch two birds with the same arrow." Mr. Park was smiling proudly. He was thanking Dae Ju because he gets the evidence for him.

"We didn't order something yet. Shouldn't we order something as we are spending a lot of time here?" Jheong Woo asked.

"Okay." Mr. Park agreed. Jheong Woo stood up and give some orders. The waiters were not seen as there were many people.

"Listen, it's a treat from me. So, order anything you want," he called Jheong Woo and said.

"Really?" Jheong Woo became happy and looked at Dae Ju. But his face wasn't seen happy. He was lost in his thoughts so maybe he didn't even hear him.

"Okay," Jheong Woo went away but he was feeling sad by looking at Dae Ju's disappointed face. Whenever something happened, Dae Ju came to share it with him. But what happened to him today? He isn't even talking with him. He was just responding to Mr. Park and he talks very little when he needs. He isn't like that. Jheong Woo was feeling more curious though he knew he wasn't gonna tell him, at least tonight. But he really wanted to know and that's why he makes a plan to make him tell everything.

"I am not gonna let you go that easily!" Jheong Woo turned back and looked at the pale face of Dae Ju and smiled.

He returned after some time and sat down.

"What did you order?" asked detective Park.

"I heard their chicken soup is really tasty." Jheong Woo replied and looked at Dae Ju. He was still smiling. Seems like he planning something for him.

After some time, their food has been reached. The black bean noodles, chicken soup, and many more items have been arranged on their table. But with all of these, Many beer bottles have come.

"We didn't order these!" Dae Ju pointed at the bottles and said.

"Oh! I am sorry!" the waiter said and bend to him. He thought he was mistaken but it was not. Jheong Woo really ordered them.

"No! I ordered them. You can keep them here " Jheong Woo replied. The waiter didn't ask anything and put those bottles on the table. Dae Ju also didn't say anything because he was thinking about drinking. He thought it may help him to forget all of his sorrows. He wasn't interested in the foods though he was starving. He took a bottle and opened the lid.

"What? You told me that you didn't order and nearly returned them a while ago. And now you are gonna drink first?" detective Park was surprised. But Dae Ju didn't look at him and continued to do what he was silently. Jheong Woo and Mr. Park started eating while Dae Ju was concentrating on drinking.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" detective Park asked.

"I am not hungry." Dae Ju replied.

Dae Ju was drinking after a long time so it was feeling like he was drinking alcohol for the first time. So, he was going slow.

After some minutes, Mr. Park took his purse and pay the bills. He stood up to leave from there.

"Aren't you gonna drink?" Jheong Woo asked.

"No, you have to pay for your drink." Mr. Park replied.

"No! I didn't mean that." Jheong Woo smiled.

"No, I can't drink now. I have to work all night. You guys enjoy! I am going!" saying this he left from there with the thing he came for.

"Okay, Thanks for the meal!" Jheong Woo stood up and bowed to him. He was looking at Mr. Park's leaving. When he left, he looked at Dae Ju and saw he was drinking without pouring in a glass. He was drinking with the bottle directly. It didn't take one minute to finish one bottle of soju.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Jheong Woo was surprised. Because he never saw Dae Ju drink this much. How can he see? Whenever he asked to join him for a drink, he always refused him so he did get a chance to saw him drinking. Within ten minutes, he gulped several bottles and ask for more. It can be seen that his face turned red like a ripe tomato.

"Why? Ah! Stop drinking! I wanted to join you but you didn't let me even touch them!" Jheong Woo became aggressive and he tried to stop him but he failed.

"Let me drink! It's the happiest moment in my life!" Dae Ju said very slowly.

"What happened? Can you please pleeease tell me?" Jheong Woo requested him.

"You! You are a cheater! Shame on you!" suddenly he pointed at Jheong Woo and said. He was fully drunk and he was acting weird.

"Why? What did I do?" Jheong Woo was surprised but he didn't stop him because he was curious to know what happened to him. Dae Ju took another bottle which just brings by the waiter. He opened the lid and pour the liquor into his mouth and finished it too.

"You know who I am, right?" Dae Ju was acting like a kid.

"Yes, I know." Jheong Woo replied.

"Say who I am!" Dae Ju said with his intoxicated eyes. Jheong Woo could understand he was going too far.

"Let's go home!" Jheong Woo tried to touch him but he didn't let him touch.

"No! Say who I am! I am Dae Ju! I am Kim Dae Ju! You know that right?" he nearly stood up and said intoxicating way.

"Sit down! I know!" Jheong Woo tried to console him but he couldn't.

"No! I want to scream and let the world know who I am!" he stood up from his seat.

"I am Kim Dae Ju! My name is KIM DAE JU!" He shouted. By hearing him everyone looked at them and as he was drunk he didn't notice it.

"Ah! They understand!" Jheong Woo went to him and make him sit down. He looked at the people who were glaring at them. He smiled weirdly and said,

"I am sorry. He is drunk. His wife left him!"

"Y'all know it, right?" Dae Ju said again.

"Yes, yes. We all know that." Jheong Woo tried to control him.

"But, she doesn't know. YOU SAID SHE KNOW IT! WHY?" Dae Ju was calm but he increased his voice and took another bottle of soju.

"Stop it! You have drunk enough!" he wanted to take the bottle from Dae Ju's hand but until then, he put the bottle in his mouth and start drinking again.

"You said, she read the note! But she didn't! Why? WHY YOU LIED TO ME? WHYYYY?" Dae Ju was acting very weird. Though there were not many people, they were looking at them and enjoying the show. Jheong Woo looked around and now he was regretting his decision.

"Who told me that it was a good idea to give him alcohol!" Jheong Woo said and hit his own head. He couldn't understand anything that he was saying so he went to him as he knows Dae Ju will fall down soon. He snatched the bottle from his hand and kept it on the table. He makes him stood up and hold him as Dae Ju can't walk himself. He took Dae Ju's one hand and put it on his shoulder and grab his body so that he can take him home.
