Chapter 112: Clumsy Kim Si-woo (6)
While Kim Si-woo was escorting Lee Hae-soo, another scuffle had apparently broken out—Kim Ji-hyun and Shim Ji-young were both fuming.
“W-writer-nim. Hurry and come stop them.”
“What happened this time…?”
There were plenty of people here who could break up the two actresses.
Jung Se-yeon, for example, or Park Woong-deok.
So why…
Kim Si-woo glanced around and saw Park Woong-deok already seated in a chair with an ocean view, sipping alcohol with beef jerky, while Jung Se-yeon was helping others carry luggage.
“Would you two like to go home right now?”
“Hic!”
Both actresses flinched at the same time and turned their heads.
“Please don’t fight while you’re here. I’m asking nicely. Aren’t you embarrassed when Se-yeon-ssi is working so hard over there?”
“Sorry…”
“I’m sorry.”
At Kim Si-woo’s words, the two actresses apologized.
“I’ve prepared a place for you two to fight later, so save your energy for now. Either go unpack in your room or help move the communal luggage downstairs.”
In the end, the two actresses followed Jung Se-yeon’s lead and helped with the communal luggage, and the unloading finished quickly.
“Yoo-jin.”
“Yes, writer-nim.”
“Um… I feel bad asking this when we’re here to have fun, but I might not be able to look after Hae-soo-ssi properly. Could you take care of her when that happens?”
“Ah! Don’t worry.”
“Thanks. I’ll definitely repay this debt.”
“You mean it? I’ll make it expensive.”
“Sure.”
Once the communal luggage was sorted and everyone finished unpacking their personal bags, they all headed out to the beach.
“Everyone, come out!!!”
“The ocean.”
Some people charged straight into the sea without hesitation.
“Kyaaaa!”
And those who fell in came back out, hugging others and soaking their clothes.
“You crazy bastard!!!”
Watching the scene quickly turn into chaos, a smile crept onto Kim Si-woo’s face.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, several men approached him.
“Um… stay back?”
“Writer-nim, you came to the ocean—don’t you need to taste the seawater at least once?”
“D-don’t come closer.”
“Grab him!”
In an instant, six men seized Kim Si-woo. He struggled, but no matter how good his reflexes were, he couldn’t overpower six people.
As the six men carried him off, Kim Si-woo made one request.
“Hey… at least wet me a bit first so I don’t get a heart attack.”
“That’s no problem… Guys, let’s get writer-nim a little wet beforehand.”
They were kind team members who splashed him with water before throwing him in.
‘Kind… right?’
“Damn it…”
“Here we go. One… two… three!”
Kim Si-woo was tossed into the sea.
“Pwaah… Now you’re all dead.”
Already soaked, Kim Si-woo had no hesitation left.
“Hey, who’s the next target?”
“Let’s just throw everyone we see in.”
“Grab that guy.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Kim Si-woo started grabbing anyone in sight and hurling them into the water.
A short while later, most people had been dunked, but a few still remained dry.
“Hey… you wanna die? Just try grabbing me…”
“Writer-nim?”
The Siwoo Film team members turned to look at Kim Si-woo.
No matter how much the beach vibe had taken over, there were some people who simply couldn’t be touched.
The top stars.
And not just ordinary top stars.
No one dared approach Shim Ji-young, Kim Ji-hyun, or Jung Se-yeon, who were glaring fiercely.
Except for one person.
“Bring… that.”
“Yesss, my lord!”
When people suddenly stopped approaching, the three actresses grew uneasy and looked around.
“Did they give up?”
“Unnie! Why would you say that?!”
“Ah!”
Shim Ji-young had uttered the forbidden words.
“I didn’t mean to…”
Splash!
In that instant, a stream of water shot straight into Shim Ji-young’s face, soaking it.
“Kyaaaa!”
At the end of the stream stood Kim Si-woo, holding a massive water gun.
“Do you know what this is? It’s a 200,000-won imported water gun. Take this!”
Splash. Splash.
Kim Si-woo sprayed the three actresses relentlessly, and they hurriedly fled.
But their running speed was more like a brisk walk.
Kim Si-woo quickly hoisted Shim Ji-young onto his back and dashed toward the sea.
“Hey! Si-woo, I was wrong. Ahh, I hate cold water!”
“Guys, give sunbaenim a little water baptism.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“You little… I’ve memorized all your faces.”
At Shim Ji-young’s warning, the actors about to splash her hesitated.
“Don’t worry, just splash her. You trust me, right?”
In the end, following Kim Si-woo’s words as he stood in the middle of the sea holding Shim Ji-young, the water barrage continued.
Kim Si-woo, now wearing swim goggles, was completely unaffected, but Shim Ji-young couldn’t even open her eyes properly as she got drenched.
“Kyaaaa!”
Splash.
When he decided she’d had enough, Kim Si-woo tossed Shim Ji-young into the sea and began his second hunt.
“Alright, next target: Kim Ji-hyun. Guys, surround her.”
In an instant, Kim Si-woo and the Siwoo Film crew—who had escaped the water—surrounded their second target, Kim Ji-hyun.
“Haa… I surrender. I’ll… walk in myself.”
As Kim Ji-hyun slowly walked toward the sea, Kim Si-woo lifted her from behind.
“Walking in isn’t what we want.”
“Kyaaaa!”
Splash.
“Second target cleared.”
Now only Jung Se-yeon remained.
Hong Soo-yeon and Lee Yoo-jin had long since been caught by the Siwoo Film actors and thrown in.
“Huh… what? Coming to help?”
Suddenly, Shim Ji-young, Kim Ji-hyun, Hong Soo-yeon, and Lee Yoo-jin appeared beside Kim Si-woo and surrounded Jung Se-yeon.
“D-don’t come closer!”
“Just accept it gracefully. It’s too late to turn back.”
“Unnie! Shouldn’t you spare your little sister at least?”
“No, precisely because you’re my little sister—we go together. Right? You need to know how salty seawater is.”
Thanks to their solid vocal projection, even their playful conversation sounded like a scene from a movie.
“Grab her!”
Whoosh! Splash!
Jung Se-yeon was caught in an instant and thrown into the sea.
“Alright… who’s left?”
“Over there.”
At the now-darkened Shim Ji-young’s words, Kim Si-woo pointed to one spot. There sat the massive Park Woong-deok, drinking alcohol.
“Possible?”
“Ahem… I think I’ll pass.”
He was Park Woong-deok, weighing over 120 kg.
Not only was lifting him difficult, but no one even had the confidence to drag him into the sea in the first place.
If he decided to resist, someone would definitely get hurt by his flailing arms.
“I don’t want to die yet.”
The group looked around to see if anyone else had stayed dry besides Park Woong-deok, and they spotted one more person.
“What the—there’s still a completely dry person over there!”
That dry person was Lee Hae-soo, quietly playing with the sand by herself.
“Uh…”
Among the carnivorous actresses charging like predators, Lee Hae-soo was like a herbivore.
If Shim Ji-young was a tiger and Hong Soo-yeon a cub, Lee Hae-soo was more like a rabbit.
Kim Si-woo thought that if Lee Hae-soo got thrown in, she might actually get hurt emotionally.
“Let’s stop here. I’m going to change and prepare the next program.”
“Hold it right there.”
The people who had been dunked because of Kim Si-woo—including Shim Ji-young—glared at him as if wronged.
“Discrimination is bad.”
“That’s right!”
“You like the lawyer-nim, don’t you?”
“Writer-nim, that’s too much.”
“…”
Because of the actresses and the Siwoo Film members chiming in, Kim Si-woo eventually sighed and walked toward Lee Hae-soo.
“Hae-soo-ssi.”
“Writer-nim! Uh… but behind you…”
Lee Hae-soo got goosebumps on her back seeing the crazed looks in everyone’s eyes.
“Sorry.”
“Huh? Kyaaaa!”
Kim Si-woo scooped her up in one motion and ran toward the sea.
“Hae-soo-ssi, hold your breath.”
“Huh? Ah! Yes. Hoo!”
At his words, Lee Hae-soo pinched her nose and held her breath.
Plop.
Kim Si-woo dropped the Lee Hae-soo he was holding straight into the water.
“Pwaah!”
A moment later, Lee Hae-soo surfaced with a very bright expression.
As if being thrown into the sea was a completely new and fun experience for her.
“Now let’s get out.”
Kim Si-woo took Lee Hae-soo’s hand and started walking out of the water.
“Huh?”
Just as he was about to exit, Kim Si-woo lost his balance, fell backward, and plunged back in.
Because Lee Hae-soo, right behind him, had pulled him.
“Khack!”
“Sorry! Hahaha.”
He had accidentally swallowed a mouthful of salty water from the sudden fall. Kim Si-woo surfaced.
Lee Hae-soo’s laughter rang out as she disappeared.
And from the sandy beach across the way, people were mocking him. Kim Si-woo spat out seawater.
“Fine… Let’s settle this once and for all!”
As Kim Si-woo charged, people scattered and ran. For the next 30 minutes, they raced around the beach.
30 minutes later, Kim Si-woo came out of the shower with a tired face and entered the room with the communal luggage.
There, people were busily cooking.
“Writer-nim, you’re here?”
“It’s the first day, so keep everyone from getting too drunk. Especially watch out in case someone drunk heads into the sea.”
“Yes, writer-nim.”
“You’ve all worked hard coming this far.”
“No, we insisted on doing it.”
It would be great if everyone had fun, but someone needed to handle potential safety issues.
So Kim Si-woo cautiously asked around for people willing to work during the MT, and surprisingly many volunteered.
“Then just bear with it a little.”
“Yes, writer-nim. I’ll bring snacks to your room soon.”
Of course, as compensation, they were promised separate bonuses.
Kim Si-woo hurried up to the second floor.
“Alright, shall we get started?”
Instead of going to his own room, he opened the door to the room next door.
“I’m here to hang out.”
“Oh my! Writer-nim.”
Inside were Lee Yoo-jin, Lee Hae-soo, and the female actors from Siwoo Film, busy making snacks.
“Have a seat.”
One of the Siwoo Film actresses grabbed Kim Si-woo and sat him down.
“Uh… thanks.”
He was caught off guard by how warmly they welcomed him and sat down in a daze. Unfortunately, the seat placed him directly facing Lee Yoo-jin and Lee Hae-soo.
“Here, take a glass first.”
From the very start, one of the Siwoo Film actresses poured him a drink.
“By the way, the others didn’t come?”
“They probably all went to see Ji-young sunbaenim, Se-yeon sunbaenim, or Ji-hyun sunbaenim.”
“I see…”
“Snacks incoming.”
As Kim Si-woo drank and passed the time, he felt piercing stares.
The stares came from right across the table—Lee Yoo-jin and Lee Hae-soo.
The two had apparently become close quickly; they sat pressed together, chatting with the Siwoo Film actresses while glaring at him drinking.
‘What the… Why are they glaring at me?’
“Ah, we’ll go to the bathroom for a minute.”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
When the actresses sitting next to Kim Si-woo left for the bathroom, Lee Yoo-jin and Lee Hae-soo instantly claimed the seats beside him.
“So, was it nice?”
“What was?”
“Drinking and chatting with the other actresses—did it feel good?”
“No, they’re Siwoo Film actors—can’t I even talk to them while drinking?”
“That’s not the issue…”
“Anyway, from now on, drink with us.”
“Fine, whatever.”
When the actresses returned from the bathroom, they saw Lee Yoo-jin’s murderous glare as she laughed with Kim Si-woo and quietly took empty seats elsewhere.
But the actresses’ eyes weren’t exactly innocent either.
They looked like they were plotting something.
And it didn’t take long to find out what.
“Alright, shall we start a drinking game now?”
“A drinking game?”
Their plot was a drinking game.
Kim Si-woo, three years out of university and a shut-in.
Lee Yoo-jin, a former TA who had been tormented by professors and too busy to drink.
Lee Hae-soo, with zero MT or drinking experience with friends.
The Siwoo Film actresses, only recently graduated from university.
If they played a drinking game… the outcome was obvious to anyone.
“Um…”
As Kim Si-woo and Lee Yoo-jin hesitated, one of the Siwoo Film actresses uttered the magic words.
“Scared?”
The magic words were extremely effective.
“Bring it on. I’ll show you the power of a reservist.”
“Drinking game? I’ll learn as I go.”
“If it’s about memorizing, I’m confident.”
The Siwoo Film actresses had severely underestimated the three.
They had no idea that these three were once monsters who had sent countless people under the table in drinking games…
Of course, one of them became a monster again tonight.
