Chapter 85
Dan Wooseong and Gwangshin lay sprawled inside the cave, exchanging hiccups. Had they been ordinary men, they would have succumbed to their drunkenness and passed away right there. But the two were fighting off the alcohol’s effects. Dan Wooseong slurred drunkenly as he asked.
“Senior, how many drinks have you had?”
Kwang-shin replied in a dog-like prone position.
“Five drinks. I guess that’s it for me. How about you?”
Danwooseong burst out laughing as he answered.
“Hahahaha… I had six drinks. Looks like I won.”
Kwang-shin lay sprawled on the floor, grinning.
“You idiot, just say you won. Good for you. You bastard. I’m amazed you could drink that much with a full stomach.”
It truly wasn’t ordinary liquor.
Dan Woo-sung and Gwangshindo were both dead drunk. Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung looked up at the stalactites on the ceiling and chuckled.
“Senior, isn’t this just regular liquor?”
A moment of silence passed before Kwang-shin burst out laughing.
“Hahahahahaha… That could happen. That would be a funny turn of events. No. It’s just like when I drank Gongcheong Oil in my youth. I nearly died then too, but the situation is much better now. Let’s slowly get ready.”
Gwang-sin rose again, crossed his legs in the lotus position, and then, waving his hands like a drunken reveler, recited a poem.
Life is like a grand dream, so why live it only in weariness? This is why I remain drunk all day long. Singing while waiting for the bright moon, when this song ends, I shall try to forget old affections.
