A Day Off with Jang Su-young
Cha Ji-hoon grabbed Kim Namhu and spoke.
“Hey. My stomach is killing me. You have the next day off, right? Let’s have some soju together.”
“I… want to, but a regular client invited me out.”
“Huh. Even on a day off?”
Kim Namhu also wanted to rest for at least a day on Wednesday.
It was rare to meet regulars outside the bar. Most of them were handled at the establishment. Kim Hye-ji, who couldn’t come to the bar, had him go look for her, though that still counted as work.
But there was one woman he couldn’t meet on Wednesday.
A regular university student who couldn’t visit a host bar, and the daughter of a precious regular client—Kim Namhu simply couldn’t ignore her.
Jang Su-young.
‘And meeting Jang Su-young always makes me feel oddly good.’
Jang Sun-young was an excellent regular.
She didn’t make a scene and spent money generously.
She even gave extra allowance.
Because of her, he had taken on the request to play with her daughter.
Kim Namhu intended to give his all for Jang Sun-young’s sake.
And even more than that, he was falling deeper for Jang Su-young.
‘Is it because it’s no longer just work?’
It was easy to have sex for money if a man simply decided to.
In today’s world where the internet is so developed, a simple search reveals the methods.
Even in such a world, there were men who went to clubs and nightclubs and tried one-night stands without sleeping with prostitutes.
Clubs and nightclubs cost money for the entertainment, and the success rate of one-night stands was low, but they still challenged themselves.
They knew that sex with prostitutes was far easier and simpler.
They said this.
—Prostitutes and regular people are completely different.
Kim Namhu thought he would understand what they meant if he met Jang Su-young.
Most of the women he met were clients at host bars.
Among them, no one came to the bar purely for drinking and having fun.
If they were interested, they would head to the secondary outing.
Regulars of Kim Namhu were no different.
They liked the host named Kim Namhu and came to see him often, but most of them also enjoyed sleeping with him.
But Jang Su-young was different.
She had a purity that went beyond being a regular person.
It was a forced purity made because she didn’t want to become like her mother.
Most women naturally experienced sex after going to college and starting a boyfriend.
But Jang Su-young had no boyfriend.
It was almost impossible for a woman of her beauty.
While dating her, Kim Namhu could feel for a moment that he was just like an ordinary man.
‘I’m not against the job of being a host, but it’s not bad to just have fun normally.’
If he hated being a host, he would have quit right after making a lot of money.
Right now, Kim Namhu was basically doing host work as a hobby.
Kim Namhu occasionally enjoyed playing with Jang Su-young.
He was looking forward to tomorrow.
**
Having the car, he decided on a drive date.
He picked up Jang Su-young and left Seoul behind.
He didn’t even turn on the navigation.
He just found quiet roads and drove.
Jang Su-young had the window slightly open and enjoyed the cool air outside.
Unlike usual, which was only study, even though it was a drive to the countryside, her eyes sparkled with joy.
“Is it fun?”
“It’s nice to come out like this sometimes.”
Kim Namhu stole a glance at his watch.
It was almost time for lunch.
“Doesn’t your stomach hurt?”
“It kind of hurts.”
“Then let’s go into a suitable place.”
“Will it be good?”
“I’ve always lived according to the plan, right?”
“Huh?”
Kim Namhu knew a lot about Jang Su-young.
Jang Su-young was a woman who had lived strictly her whole life because she didn’t want to live like her mother, a Ten-Pro Ace.
She had thoroughly planned her life and followed it as much as possible.
“Sometimes it’s fun to just move on intuition without thinking.”
“What if you end up in a bad restaurant?”
“What’s wrong with that? There are times like that. If you really can’t eat, just come out and find another place. The drive is fine, right? Going wherever you want without thinking is refreshing.”
Then Jang Su-young smiled.
Kim Namhu’s words were right.
Going on this drive was actually interfering with her life plan.
But while speeding on the open road and leaving Seoul behind, there was a refreshing feeling in his chest.
Seeing Jang Su-young smile made Kim Namhu feel good too.
They entered a decent kalguksu place by the roadside.
The taste was passable.
And eating a meal after driving to the countryside added a special flavor.
Jang Su-young ate as if she was seeing kalguksu for the first time, deliciously.
“How is it?”
“It’s delicious.”
Jang Su-young stopped her chopsticks for a moment, thinking she had eaten too enthusiastically.
“It’s fine. If it’s good, eat as much as you want. I like women who eat heartily more than women who nibble like they’re showing off.”
Jang Su-young nodded and continued eating.
Her reaction was different from that of other experienced women.
Men liked women’s reactions.
But once women had experience, their reactions naturally decreased the next time they did the same thing.
That was why the first time was important.
First food with a man.
First beach visited.
First trip.
First sex.
Jang Su-young was a woman who was not familiar with playing, and she only made Kim Namhu’s mood good by being beside him.
“This place must be a hidden gem. Lucky me.”
“It’s okay to just do it roughly sometimes. Especially when resting.”
“You really know a lot about women, huh. Did you do this kind of date with other women too?”
“No. This is the first time I’ve done a date like this with Soo-young.”
This life, yes.
In this life, all the women he met separately had plenty of male experience and would not feel much excitement about such small dates.
He could not give such dates to a regular.
Even Ha Ji-yeon, who enjoyed dates like a college couple, preferred pasta over kalguksu.
When Jang Su-young said it was the first time, she smiled brightly.
It was clear she believed every word Kim Namhu said.
‘A man who marries a woman like this will be happy.’
She was beautiful, capable, had a good reaction, and believed a man’s words.
She was the best candidate for marriage.
That was why Kim Namhu was meeting Jang Su-young at Jang Sun-young’s request, but now he was enjoying a normal date with her.
He had been in steady contact and occasionally met for small meals and coffee.
They were neither friends nor lovers, nor just client and host.
It was an ambiguous feeling of everything mixed together.
The two did not try to clearly define what kind of relationship it was.
Jang Su-young, who liked clear things, deliberately avoided thinking about this part.
If she asked what kind of relationship it was, the good atmosphere would be ruined.
Instead, Jang Su-young said something else.
“The semester break is coming soon.”
“Even medical students play during break, right? It’s different from other college students.”
“I’ll be busy, but… more free time than now will increase. Why? You don’t like playing with me?”
“It’s good.”
When Kim Namhu said it was good, she smiled again.
Holding a dumpling with chopsticks along with the kalguksu, she said.
“This is completely a snack for alcohol. It’s a bit sad to eat it without alcohol.”
“Do you want to drink? Order some.”
“You can’t drink with me.”
It was nice to drive and date, but it was disappointing not to be able to drink together.
“Want to drink together?”
From what Kim Namhu knew, Jang Su-young was not a person who really enjoyed alcohol.
Because she was a direct descendant of Jang Sun-young, the alcohol itself was strong, but she did not like playing while drunk and hazy.
That she was coming forward and wanted to drink together was a special signal.
“I realized how important rest is by playing like this together. It’s okay to drink alcohol sometimes. And it’s more important who you drink with than what alcohol you drink.”
“I’m worried your mom will scold you.”
“Don’t worry. If mom says I learned to drink from Namhu-ssi, she will say it’s good.”
‘He must be really fun to drink with Jang Su-young.’
There would be a different fun from drinking with a regular who always had to keep his mind clear.
There would also be a different fun from drinking with men.
Jang Su-young smiled and said.
“If I say let’s drink together to a smart and pretty woman like me, the other person should immediately say they know, right? There are so many seniors who say yes when I say let’s drink at university.”
Kim Namhu could not help but burst out laughing.
She was cute and lovely when she spoke like that.
“Then should we head back to Seoul? No drinking and driving.”
In Seoul it would be easy to call a driver and take a taxi home.
Jang Su-young nodded.
