6. Truce

When I came out and looked at my phone, I realized that I had left quite early.

I thought I would have to spend a few dozen minutes in an empty classroom, but I happened to meet my classmates on my way to school.

It was Park Jin-soo and Choi Il-hyun. Even if Choi Il-hyeon didn’t know, there was no way Park Jin-soo would be here.

Because, that bastard drank and fell asleep until the day before the exam and came running after getting slapped on the back.

The other day, I saw him hurriedly climb up the stairs almost crawling on all fours.

So when I slowly looked at Park Jin-soo, he confessed.

“He said that if I don’t get a grade of 4.3 or higher this time, I’ll cut off my allowance.”

“If I had done it properly with that hair, I would be hanging out with foreigners at a foreign university by now.”

“Oh, Siwoo. Huh? Koreans have to live in Korea. And our school is also prestigious in its own way.”

“……………………………”

Choi Il-hyeon only shrugged his shoulders as if he was used to it.

I was also used to Park Jin-soo doing that, so I was able to laugh.

Since he was a very foreign being in our department, Park Jin-soo had no choice but to understand Park Jin-soo as he was.

Still, there was an advantage that being next to him made the drinking party considerably more enjoyable.

Come to think of it, there will be a drinking party today. No, it seemed that the drinking party would definitely open.

Drinking alcohol relieves the stress of preparing for an intense exam.

Both seniors and juniors were seen laughing and chatting while spending money at a bar.

But today I felt like I had to get out of the drinking party.

It was because he was worried about Kyunghee.

I have to study at the university all day today, but when I go in at dawn, it seemed that Kyung-hee would be very anxious.

A few days ago I would have tried not to care, but now I don’t have to.

Just in time, Park Jin-soo asked me if I would join him for a drink, so I politely declined.

“Ah, Siwoo. You’re not the kind of person who skips drinks.”

“There is a reason.”

“what reason?”

“Because there is.”

“Ehehehe, why?”

“Girlfriend.”

“ah.”

Park Jin-soo hardened. Choi Il-hyeon smiled bitterly and went up to another building to have lunch together later.

Park Jin-soo stood there for a while and then complained as if it was unfair.

To be honest, it was strange that Park Jin-soo did not have a girlfriend.

You have a handsome face, and if you set your mind to studying, you can get A’s in all subjects.

If there was only one downside, it was that I liked alcohol too much.

So, quite a few female college students have no choice but to approach Park Jin-soo.

I couldn’t help but laugh at him because he would have had a girlfriend if he cut down on his drinking.

“I’m coming too. Let’s have lunch together later.”

“yes.”

Park Jin-soo trudged into the classroom to take a liberal arts class.

I stood there for a while, then bought a coffee and went into the classroom.

It seemed like a lot of time when I came out, but when I climbed to the top of the campus, there were only a few minutes left.

It was not enough time to study further anyway, so I decided to just review and sat down at my desk.

Originally, there would have been classmates or seniors who would say hello and say hello, but now there are none.

Everyone was writing or reading something with their faces down on their desks.

I just laughed when I saw that coffee or caffeinated beverages were left there as if it had been promised.

Seriously, the professors in our department were nice.

I was able to drink as much as I could without making a sound, including drinks during class.

If it was a 9:00 class or a class with a lunch break, you could even eat bread.

He explained to me in every class what the exam questions would be, and whenever I visited, he responded with a smile.

However, he was not as kind as when he gave exam questions.

The merciless test range of always being heard and learned.

The sheer amount of assignments that squeeze students by the edge.

In addition, there are sub-tasks designed so that you can somehow get a certain score if you work hard.

“……..ha.”

I felt like I needed to concentrate properly, so I drank coffee and fixed my eyes on the books I majored in.

The class started like that, and the time went by at a breakneck speed.

After one class, preparation and review. Go in for another class and review for a while.

After the class, prepare and review again. As if waiting, I replenished my caffeine and moved on to another class.

When I woke up, it was already 2:00 PM.

“Haah ah ahhhhh.

Park Hyeon-a, who was lying face down in the classroom, made a strange sound.

The two seniors were already passed out lying on the sofa without moving.

Choi Il-hyeon was also laughing, but seeing that he was swearing at the problem for being wrong, it seemed that his mental state was wrong.

Park Jin-soo covered his head with both arms and moaned that something was wrong.

It was a really normal test period, so I just laughed.

“Did you come here…”

“Has everyone eaten?”

“Hyun-ah is on a diet. Me and Il-hyeon haven’t eaten. You’re waiting.”

“Then let’s eat now. If we don’t eat now, I don’t think we’ll have a chance to eat.”

Park Jin-soo and Choi Il-hyun both nodded at the same time.

The moment I put my bag down and went to eat, my cell phone vibrated.

Looking at the screen, I saw a call from someone I didn’t know.

Still, it didn’t seem like an advertisement, so I took it.

“hello?”

– Siwoo.

“Ah, Kyunghee. Yes. Why?”

A look of astonishment poured in from the surroundings.

There was also a senior who swallowed tears of blood while watching that bastard change his voice.

First of all, I couldn’t answer the phone in the classroom, so I apologized to the two and headed to the corner hallway.

– Hey, what time are you coming in today?

“Ah, considering the situation, I’m thinking about whether or not to go in for dinner.”

– yes?

“Yeah. But, why did you call? I thought you didn’t give me your phone number.”

– Ah, I heard from the doctor in charge.

“Oh, that doctor?”

– yes. I took medicine and reported my condition, but he said he didn’t know your phone number, so he told me.

I remembered that we had exchanged phone numbers since the last time.

When did Kyung-hee ever get a text message asking him to report it if he behaves strangely?

Rather than that, the fact that he took medicine and reported his condition bothered me.

The trembling of Kyung-hee’s voice coming through the phone also played a role.

Eventually, I couldn’t stand it and asked politely what had happened.

– It’s just that I’m anxious… I just got a little depressed…

“Then are you okay?”

– yes. I called because I wanted to hear your voice. If you don’t eat dinner, tell me.

“Are you going to cook?”

– yes. I’ll make you delicious fried rice.

“Okay. Then I’ll hang up.”

– yes.

When I hung up the phone and looked back, why were my classmates and seniors gathered?

Come to think of it, did I say that last time?

It seemed like it would happen if a guy who said he had no intention of dating for the time being and would concentrate on studying would make a girlfriend and talk sweetly over the phone.

I heard a mixed comment from a senior saying that he doesn’t know when that bastard seduced a woman.

Then, at the words of someone who said to look in the mirror, the sunbae sunbae trudged to the classroom.

“let’s go eat.”

“I think I’ll listen to you at least a special love lecture later.”

“Ah, come to think of it, you’re the only one here who hasn’t had any dating experience, right?”

“…………………………..”

“I’m kidding, man. If you stop drinking, you’ll get a girlfriend in no time.”

“……………..”

Park Jin-soo glared at me.

Then, with a deep sigh, he gave a long speech about how college students don’t drink.

So the three of us ate our lessons, and went back into the swamp of assignments and classes.

Time flew by quickly as I walked around the campus and prepared and reviewed.

When I woke up, I was leaving the classroom after the last class.

“What time is it?”

“5:30.”

“Thank you, Ilhyun.”

“What do you want to do? Do you want to study more in the class or do you want to finish eating?”

“Are you tired?”

“I think I finished my studies today.”

Choi Ilhyun muttered with dead eyes.

After hearing that the future self would study for me anyway, I couldn’t recommend it any more.

Still, it was comforting to know that I could definitely get a job.

Even if I can’t get a job, I’ll take them after I get my master’s and doctorate as a graduate student.

“I’m going to go to my room.”

“Ah, yes. Yes…”

“Good bye.”

Choi Il-hyeon, guessing the reason, nodded slowly.

Then, as he was about to go down the campus with me, he stumbled and stopped.

In the end, I waved to Choi Il-hyeon, who ran to the library to see if he was worried about his future, and then left the university.

It was around 6:30 when I got to my room.

After taking a shower and getting ready, I entered the officetel thinking that it would be around 7:00.

As always, when I greeted the agents and opened the door, I saw that all the windows were open.

And in the living room, Kyunghee was lying down.

“what are you doing?”

“cleanup…….”

Kyeong-hee, who wrapped her head in a cloth she didn’t know where she got from, struggled to get up.

I don’t remember buying a duster, but when I saw it in my hand, it seemed like Kyunghee had bought it.

After Kyung-hee stretched, she took off her apron and hugged me.

Then he perked up his ears, sniffed me, and smiled.

“I brought you special meat today.”

“What meat?”

“Whoops, beef!”

“It’s called fried rice.”

“Even if I go to a steakhouse, they sell fried rice.”

Kyunghee pointed to the kitchen and smiled.

In fact, there was beef that looked incredibly expensive.

But half didn’t. I could see why.

It was clear that Kyunghee made it for practice.

I could tell just by looking at the post-it notes on the cupboard above the stove.

Kyung-hee laughed and said, “I’ll treat you to a full course today.”

“Next time, let’s eat lamb too!”

“lamb?”

“Yeah, like the skewer shop you and I went to the other day.”

“That’s good too. I’ll make you samgyetang next time.”

“How about some rabbit meat later?”

“Rabbit meat?”

“Yes. They say it’s good for stamina?”

“……………………………”

“Heh.”

Somehow, recently, I bought a lot of ingredients like chives and curry.

Still, I thought it would be nice to hang out with him this time.

Then, I felt something ominous, so I realized one thing while I was going to question Kyung-hee.

I had an assignment to submit online today, but I forgot about it.

Fortunately, I had time left, and since I had finished all the assignments, I was able to submit smoothly.
