Chapter 1 Drunken mistake
Maybe I made a mistake taking that damn things offer.
Maybe if I hadn't been so money driven I wouldn't be here dealing with scenarios and the weird acting men around me.
For starters, it all started when I got layed off of work.
................
Laying on my bed I reflect on my life, after giving so much for that trashy company they layed me off because the CEO's nephew wanted to join
Screw him and his white lotus omega looking nephew, I spent my best years at that company!
Getting up from my bed I walk over to the kitchen grabbing a beer and popping down on the living room sofa
Opening my phone up and looking at my bank balance of a somewhat livable 400,000won though it won't last long, I'll be able to stretch it out if I live frugaly until I find a new job
Taking a sip from my can of beer I think about my asshole manager and his balding head
"I hope that asshole falls in the sewers"
I take a big swig of beer and close my bank app wondering what the hell I am supposed to do now, looking for a job isn't easy, especially with all the un-realistic expectations from previous job interviews back when I just graduated college, unpaid over time, shitty health benefits, and the pay was just ass! I couldn't even afford rent with that!
Suddenly a blue interface pops up in front of my eyes
+++++++++

Before I could process what a dumb mistake I'd made my vision blurrs as I black out
Waking up, the scene before me looks unfamiliar, a bar with many people around me all drinking as I try to process my current situation a beautiful girl with soft features come into my vision
"Excuse me sir, are you alright?"
She is wearing the bars uniform, it seems she's a part-timer.
'What the...? Who the hell is this, wasn't I just in my apartment??' Feeling dazed and confused I quickly reply "I'm fine..."
"Did I actually drink to the point of having realistic hallucinations? No, wait, I only had half a can of beer... There's no way my alcohol tolerance is that bad"
I murmur wondering if this was all just a bad dream, as I go to lay my face in my hands i hear a ring tone from the phone in my pocket, I pick it up and see the caller id "Brother Wu-jin" wanting answers I answered it.
"Hello? Man Seok? Where are you"
I stay silent, not wanting to raise suspicion in the other party, judging by the caller ID "Brother Wu-jin" They must be close, if I make a mistake in replying...
A deep masculine voice sounded out from "my" Phone the Beautiful girl grabs my phone and answers the person on the other end
"ah... He's at Gogigui Grill and Bar, he's pretty drunk, and I'm assuming you're a friend so please come pick him up"
....
Silence fills the space as the person on the other end of the phone doesn't answer after a few seconds I could hear
"Alright, I'll be there, keep an eye on him for me"
The phones makes a beep sound indicating that the phone call has ended
The girl places my phone back down near me and asks if u want a glass of water to sober up
'Maybe I should get sobered up, I mean, I just got teleported to this weird place'
I nod yes not making a sound even when the girl hands me the glass of water, after drinking it I feel a bit better, feeling clear enough to access where I am, suddenly the system screen pops up again
++++++
Glad the host has sobbered up~
Current mission:
Have the female lead focus on you making sure you don't do anything stupid until the male lead arrives
Duration: 5 minutes
++++++
'This damn thing kidnapped me while I wasn't in a right state of mind!' Before my irritation overflows a thought crossed my mind.
Can someone really arrive at a bar in five minutes? Well, I won't question it. If this "system" Can teleport me somewhere then it probably wasn't lying about the money.
Before the girl could go somewhere else I think of something to make her focus on me, 'maybe this could work...' Looking over to the bartender, I ask for another round of drinks, hearing this the girl stops me, remembering the man on the phone asking her to keep me out of trouble, wanting to help, and not clean up vomit she quickly signals the bartender to not serve me any drinks. Seeing as she's paying attention to me I try standing up actually feeling the amount of alcohol the original person drunk, I stagger and the girl rushes to support me, preventing me from falling looking at the countdown I see it's only been 2 minutes with 3 minutes left to go.
++++++
Countdown:
2 minutes and 59 seconds
Persevere Host!
(^w^)
++++++
Oh shut up for a minute
For the next few minutes I keep the girls attention on me after what seemed like forever
++++++
Countdown:
5...4...3...2...1...
Congratulations! Host has managed to keep the female leads attention on him~
++++++
While still looking at the system screen I hear someone call the name of the original body's owner.
"Man Seok! What the hell did I say about drinking?"
An irritated handsome college student walk through the door taking bug strides seemingly wanting to get this over with and bring back his friend.
"Hey! hick brother Wu Jin Have a drink!"
I say trying not to act out of character, well, I technically don't know what type of person the og body was, but I'll just act like those college students I see from time-to-time in hot pot places
As much as I feel awkward calling a random stranger over for a drink, I just need to act my part.
"Ahh... You must be the person on the other end of the phone"
The girl who was standing next to me pipes up looking relieved.
"Yes, and thank you for looking after this idiot"
Wu Jin looks at the girl blankly and glares at me right after, pulling my arm he quickly apologizes and bows my head down as well, then leaves her a tip and his phone number
"please call me if he comes back here"
He sounds exhausted and annoyed but tries to minimize it.
The girl takes the money and the number quickly saying
"no worries, not like I'd want to clean up vomit tonight"
She half heartedly laughs. Still looking at the girl with a blank expression, Wu Jin carries me to his car I wonder why I haven't been teleported out yet since I completed the mission.
Sensing my thought the system, in a cheerful voice says
++++++
