My Ancestor is Watching Me! — Chapter 5

CUTE AS ALWAYS...

LOOK AT HIS ABS!

SHE'S STILL THE SAME.

AND SO IS THAT.

I WAS SURE IT SHRUNK...

...BUT IT'S GOTTEN EVEN BIGGER SINCE THAT DAY.

OH MY GOD!!!

PROBABLY NOT.

DID HE JUST SMILE AT ME?!

COME ON, JOIN THE OCCULT CLUB WITH US!

WE ALREADY PROMISED DAHAM THAT WE'D BRING YOU ALONG!

THINK ABOUT IT. IT COULD END UP BEING A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR YOUR PROJECTS.

WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU EVER GET TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

YEAH, RIGHT. YOU JUST WANT AN EXCUSE TO OGLE AT DAHAM.

BINGO!

THAT’S TRUE, BUT I ACTUALLY DO WANT TO TRY INFILTRATING A CULT.

I’M NOT INTO THAT SCARY STUFF...

DAWON!

IS THIS YOUR FREE PERIOD?

OH... YES.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT WORK.

I’M GLAD IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S DOING BETTER.

WHAT WAS THAT?!

IT'S ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES, HUH?

RIGHT? SHE DIDN'T EVEN TELL US.

I'M HONESTLY A BIT HURT.

SO, WHAT'S THE STORY HERE?

THIS IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE...!

DAWON HELPED ME RECENTLY WHEN I GOT LOST ON CAMPUS...

SO I ASKED FOR HER IMSTA.

BLEH, BORING...

TAEHEON, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ON IMSTA.

YEAH, I AM. WANT TO FOLLOW EACH OTHER?

SURE. MY I.D. IS...

THAT'S ABOUT IT.

OH, DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME!

LOOK AT THEM GO.

IT ATTACHED ITSELF TO SOMEONE ELSE!

UH-OH.

DAWON, LET'S GO GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT...

WITH TAEHEON.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CLASSES, RIGHT?

N-NO.

I HAD NO IDEA... YOU MUST'VE GONE THROUGH SO MUCH.

WELL, I'M OKAY NOW. I'VE GOTTEN USED TO THE JOB.

I DID HAVE A BIT OF A ROUGH TIME RECENTLY...

...BUT DAWON WAS A HUGE HELP.

WHAT KIND OF FATHER DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE MADE SNAKE LIQUOR JUST FOR HIS LITTLE MISTRESS!

UGH, IT'S LIKE ALL DADS ARE BUILT THE SAME WAY.

HE BASICALLY CARES MORE ABOUT A YOUNG, PRETTY WOMAN THAN HIS OWN KID!

I'M SO PISSED OFF!

WHOA, YOU'RE REALLY CHUGGING IT DOWN TODAY...

TAEHEON, YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. YOU CAN ALWAYS PAY OFF THE DEBT...

AND IN ALL HONESTY, I'M GLAD YOUR DAD FINALLY CROAKED--

SUNAE....? HEY, SNAP OUT OF IT. YOU'RE MAKING A TOTAL FOOL OF YOURSELF.

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THIS... SHE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW HER LIMIT YET.

IT'S ALL RIGHT. DRINKING IS SOMETHING YOU GET BETTER AT OVER TIME.

A BIT OF FRESH AIR SHOULD HELP HER CLEAR HER HEAD.

LET'S GET SOME AIR.

CAN YOU WALK?

YES... THE WORLD IS SPINNING...!

DO YOU THINK SHE'LL BE OKAY?

I ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS RECENTLY...

...BUT SUNAE'S DAD IS HAVING AN AFFAIR AND HASN'T BEEN COMING HOME.

IT'S PROBABLY WHY SHE'S ACTING LIKE THAT.

UH... IS SHE REALLY JUST SPILLING HER FRIEND'S FAMILY ISSUES LIKE THAT?

BUT DAWON...

ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, YOU KNOW... DON'T YOU HAVE A THING GOING ON WITH TAEHEON?

ARE YOU SURE IT'S OKAY TO LEAVE THE TWO ALONE LIKE THAT?

WAS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD'VE CARED ABOUT?

WELL, THAT SEEMS LIKE A STRETCH. ALL WE DID WAS EXCHANGE IMSTAS.

BUT TAEHEON DID SAY HE WAS INTERESTED IN ME.

OH...

HUH?

IT'S JUST... IF IT WERE ME, I'D BE PRETTY UPSET.

UPSET ABOUT WHAT?

AH! YOU SCARED ME!

HEY.

DAHAM, YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ME? I'M HERE FOR MY DEPARTMENT'S FRESHMAN WELCOME PARTY.

HEY, DAWON.

H-HELLO.

DAHAM, DRINK WITH US IF IT GETS BORING OVER THERE.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR CLUB'S WELCOME PARTY.

YOU GOT IT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LATER.

OH, AND I'M COUNTING ON YOU TO CONVINCE DAWON.

TO JOIN THE CLUB.

I CAN HEAR YOU...

LEAVE IT TO ME!

HOW THE HECK...

...DID I GET DRAGGED INTO THIS?

ART STUDENTS WHO SOMEHOW ENDED UP CRASHING ANOTHER DEPARTMENT'S FRESHMAN WELCOME PARTY.

MINA GETS ALONG WITH STRANGERS SO EASILY.

YEAH, I SAW THAT, TOO! IT WAS SO GOOD!

AND...

...HIM AS WELL...

IT'S ALMOST FASCINATING...

...HOW PEOPLE JUST GRAVITATE TOWARD HIM.

HE SHINES...

...AND LIVES IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLD THAN MINE.

THAT'S PROBABLY WHY WHATEVER HE DOES LOOKS SO EFFORTLESS.

YOU'RE FUNNY.

IT FEELS LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE SUNAE AND TAEHEON LEFT TO GET SOME AIR...

I WONDER IF SOMETHING HAPPENED.

Sunae

9:26PM Sunae? 10:26PM Are you okay?

Sunae?

MINA, I CAN'T SEEM TO REACH SUNAE AND TAEHEON--

NO WAY! GWANSU BEATS YEONGCHEOL!

SHE'S DRUNK.

SEE?!

I TOLD YOU!

LORD DONGJA MUST BE TIRED, TOO.

HE'S ASLEEP.

I'D BETTER GO FIND HER ON MY OWN.

THE PERSON YOU ARE CALLING IS UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE...

WHY ISN'T SHE PICKING UP MY CALLS?

IS SHE OKAY?

I'M ALREADY AT HER PLACE...

HUH?
