"That's way too much love!!!!"
"Money, love, booze—the more the better."
"Whoa, that's such total bullshit!"
I protested, but Senior Baek Sang-a didn't even listen before she started chugging soju straight from the bottle.
Glug glug glug glug glug!
"Kuh! It's just water!"
"......"
And just like that, a glass bottle appeared out of thin air!
The sight of that green soju bottle rolling helplessly across the ground had cold sweat breaking out all over me.
'What is this? Am I next?'
I had a bad feeling I'd soon be rolling limply just like that bottle...
It's gotta be my imagination, right?
Glug glug glug glug glug!!
"Water!"
"Hiiik."
Senior Baek Sang-a had already downed her third bottle of soju!
I'd always wondered if there was anyone in the world who actually lived by "pour it and drink"—turns out she was right here!
'Whoa! Is it because she's a shark beastkin?!'
Those types swim around with their mouths open, gulping seawater—maybe it's possible for her?!
'Possible my ass!'
That's seawater, not alcohol!!
The bizarre sight of a shark beastkin who should be chugging seawater like it was going out of style now slamming back soju had gasps of admiration pouring in from around us.
"Kya! As expected of Baek Sang-a!"
"So cool, Baek Sang-a!"
"The booze whale born from the Visual Design Department!"
"That's no booze whale! She's a straight-up booze shark!"
I couldn't help but blurt out a retort in sheer bewilderment.
Flash!
"Wh-what? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The seniors stared at me with wide, gleaming eyes, then spotted the shot glass still in my hand and grinned ear to ear.
Senior Hati-ho, who'd been there the whole time, flashed a seductive smile.
"Our human's glass is still full?"
"Th-this is... I mean..."
"Grab him."
"Huh?!"
No sooner had Senior Hati-ho spoken than Seniors Kim Daram-i and Yang Hwa-bin clamped down on me from both sides!
And then—squish!
'Squish?'
The reassuring softness against my arm made me glance down, and there were Senior Yang Hwa-bin's breasts pressing right up against me.
'Whoa, those tits are huge.'
I hadn't paid attention since I wasn't interested, but damn, Senior Yang Hwa-bin was stacked in the mid department.
A shame they're smaller than Eum-a's, but this is still impressive!
While I was lost in a daze, Senior Hati-ho closed in until her face was right in front of mine and grabbed my lower jaw.
This moist touch!
Those hands that had seemed so femininely alluring on stage were now the hands of a water ghost—or rather, booze ghost—out to drown me!
By the time I snapped out of it, Senior Hati-ho had already snatched the soju glass from my hand, and liquor was pouring into my mouth.
"Gaaahhhhk!!!"
"J-Ji-hyeoook!!"
Eum-a screamed from the sidelines, but it was already too late.
Clink. Roll roll roll.
The empty soju glass Senior Hati-ho tossed hit the ground and rolled.
Roll roll roll.
My booze-filled stomach did the same.
'Fuck.'
Drool leaked from my mouth.
Wait, no—opposite.
Drool leaked from my mouth. It tasted like booze.
The intense alcohol fumes rising up my throat had me cursing Senior Baek Sang-a.
"You said no forcing! You said no forcing!"
"In Beastkin University, where schemes and tricks run rampant, a frail human can't survive, Ji-hyeok."
"Ugh... Why the hell do people even drink this crap?"
"'Cause among college essentials, alcohol's the best one?"
"Man, next you'll say shit stains are water too."
"Hahaha! That's what I like about you, Ji-hyeok."
Senior Baek Sang-a laughed heartily at my sarcasm, then topped off someone else's glass as she continued.
"Honestly, I was worried when I heard we had a human in our department. Thought you might not adjust to school life, never do an MT, and drop out."
"Did I really seem that fragile?!"
"Nah, but you're the frailest among us, right?"
"Pfft, still tougher than Chae-a, though."
"Chae-a? The chihuahua beastkin? Hmm."
Mentioning Chae-a made Senior Baek Sang-a glare into space for a second before nodding.
"You're the second frailest in our group, Ji-hyeok."
"Thanks, Senior."
If Chae-a had heard that, she'd have lost it regardless of seniority!
'It's quiet, though?'
Chae-a must've skipped the drinking party, since things were so peaceful. I started glancing around to check if she was really absent when—thud!
'Hiiik.'
There, through the crowd, I spotted Mo Myo-mi staring right at us!
She was huddled against the wall, knees hugged to her chest.
Her sharp blue eyes, untouched by booze, locked onto mine, and my stomach churned so hard I nearly hurled up the shot I'd just downed.
'Why's she staring like that?!'
What the hell!
Startled, I just blinked, and—whoosh!
Mo Myo-mi whipped her head away.
'......Just a coincidence?'
But we'd locked eyes way too often for it to be random.
"Ji-hyeok's got a good vibe."
"Yeah?"
Stare.
"If I'd been the only beastkin dragged on stage at a humans-only college, I'd have ripped everyone apart."
"......You got the settlement money for that?"
"My family's loaded."
"No wonder you're so cocky!"
Stare.
"I don't know what you think, but I can see it—you're a good human."
"Pfft, I know."
"Still, it's a shame about Eum-a."
"......What do you mean by that?"
Mo Myo-mi had been staring holes into me the entire time I chatted with Senior Baek Sang-a.
Why the hell is she staring like that!
If you've got something to say, just spit it out!
'She always KakaoTalks me nonstop when she wants something!'
I'd kept my phone in hand just in case, but Mo Myo-mi didn't send a single message—she just kept staring.
'What the hell's she thinking? Not trying to scam more Churu by bringing up outdoor sex again, is she?'
This wasn't just my problem anymore—it involved Eum-a too. If that happened, I'd have to choose between giving her Churu or cursing her out...
'Fuck! Why do these trials keep hitting me!'
Lord Booze! Give me the answer!
"As expected of a human! You handle your liquor well."
"This is only my second shot."
"Hahaha."
Running out of compliments, Senior Baek Sang-a—praising me for downing a measly two shots—bellowed with laughter, then got up when her friends called her over.
"Alright, I'm off to join my friends. Short talk, but it was fun."
"Yep! Fun for me too!"
Minus the forced shots!
"Oh, and Ji-hyeok."
"Yes?"
Senior Baek Sang-a, who'd wedged eight soju bottles between her fingers, winked and whispered some advice.
"Getting hot with your girlfriend's great, but not in the mountains? Nocturnal beastkin might catch you—embarrassing, right?"
"Pfft, what do you take me for?"
We already did it in broad daylight—what're you talking about!
"H-huu, huu, later..."
Eum-a flushed beet red at the sudden outdoor sex sermon. She must've been reminiscing about our daytime romp!
Oblivious to it all, Senior Baek Sang-a just said, "Got it. Have fun!" and headed off to join another group.
I immediately scooted up to Eum-a and whispered.
"Eum-a. In heat again?"
"H-huu... D-don't know."
"Don't know? Hmm. Doesn't look like it to me."
"Uuu..."
Embarrassed, Eum-a nibbled her lower lip with her bunny front teeth and buried her face in her tiny hands. Boom!
"Y-yeah, it is..."
So fucking cute!
I wanted to drag Eum-a out right then and there!
Screw the seniors' warnings—head to the trail and go at it wildly with her!!!
'But not right now, huh?'
Seeing cute Eum-a had my dick hard, but I couldn't focus solely on her at the moment.
Right after Senior Baek Sang-a left.
Mo Myo-mi, who'd been glued to the wall, stood up like she'd been waiting and came right over.
"M-Myo-mi?"
Eum-a had been gearing up for round two of outdoor fun when Mo Myo-mi barged in, looking startled.
And I was just as shocked.
'What the hell does she want to say?'
She always acted on her whims, so even I was tense.
"......"
Mo Myo-mi glanced at Eum-a, then closed her eyes. She opened them and fixed her gaze on me.
That same piercing stare she'd had all along.
"Let's talk. Just us."
The moon hung high in the night sky.
My mind was filled with fuck after fuck, like stars scattered across the heavens.
'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.'
Time I could've been pounding Eum-a senseless, and here I was out with Mo Myo-mi!
'Fucking hell!'
Honestly? I wanted to say no so bad.
But when the presumed voyeur of my outdoor romp goes, "Can we talk?"—who the hell can refuse!
'She's not even an official witness!'
If she demanded an explanation, I'd spin some windbag bullshit excuse, but if it was Churu she wanted, it'd be war with my wallet.
So, talking to Mo Myo-mi was inevitable!
That's why I had no choice but to leave Eum-a at the dorm and follow Mo Myo-mi out...!
But shouldn't we just chat behind the dorm or something?
We were heading pretty far from the dorms.
"How far we going?"
I called out to Mo Myo-mi, who was leading the way, and she glanced back, pointing ahead.
"There."
'Huh?!'
Mo Myo-mi's finger pointed to the trail!
Cold sweat soaked my back!
'Eum-a! We're screwed!'
I told you we shouldn't do outdoor sex!!
......It was good, though!
Tension had even my balls sweating.
Mo Myo-mi plunged deep into the trail.
My heart pounded like crazy.
'N-no way she's going all the way there?!'
No way! With grass and trees everywhere, she's not gonna pinpoint the exact spot Eum-a and I fucked, right!
"We're here."
Fuck!
Against all my hopes, Mo Myo-mi stopped right where Eum-a and I had rolled around like animals!
'Not yet! There's still a chance!'
Even a tiger's den is survivable if you keep your wits!
"Wh-why here..."
"I saw everything. You and Choi Eum-a."
I'm dead!
