Chapter 29 – End of First Semester of First Year and Start of Summer Vacation

Mondays and Wednesdays, the days I was able to meet Song Hana, there was always a minor deviation.

“Sister, you worked hard.”

“How was it…?”

On June 8th, in the last lecture, a week before the final exam, Noh Seon-ah completed her group presentation.

He sat next to me and asked me how the presentation was, and I whispered to him.

“We did much better than the first group.”

“Puuuuu! Taeyang, don’t use weird language. It’s funny because we fit in.”

“You gave a good presentation, so the sword told you to relax.”

When I whispered something in a light tone, Seon-ah also relaxed.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, all my nerves went away.”

The girl stretched out her shoulders and listened to the announcement of her next group.
I also listened to Group 3’s announcement, and another woman sitting next to me bucked her butt.

“Toilet shop?”

“Ugh…!”

The person sitting next to me changed from Kim So-yoon to Song Hana.

“Ugh… It’s not a bathroom…”

Kim So-yoon, who had been sitting next to me since the day we switched to face-to-face lectures, sat in the front row with Kim A-ram and Kim Ji-an,

Song Hana, who was thinking at the back door of the classroom, followed my gesture and sat down next to her.

You might say that you have to sit together with your group members because it is the day of group assignment presentations, but

Song Hana’s team members had already been sitting scattered around.

In fact, except for the second group I was in, there was no group where the members sat together.

“If you’re not going to go to the bathroom, why do you keep fidgeting?”

“… Sun, listen up.”

“I can hear you well, just say it.”

Song Hana, who was sitting next to me, smiled brightly at my gesture and brought her lips to my ear.

“Let’s go out and get coffee…”

On Mondays and Wednesdays when first-year major lectures were held, Song Hana enjoyed deviant behavior.

Today too, Song Ha-na took advantage of the opportunity while the professor was sitting among the students to evaluate her presentation and begged her to go outside.

“Song Hana, listen carefully.”

“Yeah…”

Even a whisper is a minor deviant behavior for Song Hana.

When she asked me to listen, she leaned in, and I intentionally pressed my body close to Song Hana.

“Is this why you told me not to buy it?”

As their shoulders touched, and Song Hana stiffened, she whispered softly into her ear.

“Eup… Ha…”

While I whispered, Song Hana held her breath. Only when the shoulder that was touching her left, did she let out her breath and whisper another word to me.

“Taeyang told me to do this…”

“I told you to do it once. You said to do it every day?”

“Hey… Let’s go out and get it.”

Song Hana, unable to change her mind, placed both her hands on her thighs.
From the day we drank together, Song Hana took advantage of her behavior, which I told her was a fox’s behavior.

The temptation of Song Hana caressing her thigh with a shy smile. If you can endure this, you are not a man.

“Seon-ah, are you going to buy coffee?”

“Huh?”

“Hey, buy it as a unified unit.”

“If anyone hears it, will they think it’s a senior living there?”

“Yes, I’m going to buy it with my own money, so just buy it and tell me the price. Go quickly.”

As Group 3’s presentation ends and the classroom becomes cluttered, Kim So-yoon, sitting in the front row, looks back.

“Can you give me your card?”

“Really… Buy it quickly.”

Kim So-yoon has a haughty and elegant beauty, unlike Song Ha-na’s innocent beauty.

As long as she was quiet, she was looking at Song Ha-na, and then she saw Kim So-yoon and thought that she was beautiful.

Kim So-yoon and Song Hana are women who can’t give up even a single one, and I received Kim So-yoon’s card.

It would be difficult to have Song Hana and Kim Soyoon at the same time, but Geum Taeyang should be able to do it.

“You like latte. Eat that.”

“No. Soyun unnie told us to unify as Aah.”

“It’s okay. I’m buying with my card, so have a latte.”

I only received Kim So-yoon’s card and did not use it to purchase her coffee.

“Why Taeyang’s card? You got it from Soyoon, right?”

Even though Song Hana tilts her head, it is true that this is the person who makes the money, regardless of her senior or junior.

“I’m living because I have more money. Song Hana, is this something only you and I know about?”

“… Yes!”

As a bonus, it would be nice to gain Kim So-yoon’s favor,

When I gave secret and meaning to this incident, Song Hana tilted her head and nodded.

“Would you like two iced Americanos, two lattes, and two mochas?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Yes, I will help you with the calculation.”

After finishing the payment, the clerk made coffee, and I chatted with Song Hana until the coffee came out.

“Hana, did you tell your parents?”

It wasn’t as thrilling as the whispered conversation in the classroom,

I was able to have conversations that I couldn’t have where other people could hear.

“Yes, I said I would extend the dormitory and stay while working part-time, and they gave me permission.”

“You didn’t give permission because of Lee Kang-hoon?”

Summer vacation is just around the corner.

There are students like Kim So-yoon who go back to their hometown, and there are students like me who are looking for part-time jobs.

Song Hana originally planned to go back to her hometown, but her greed for deviation changed her plans.

Song Hana, free from her parents’ obsession, promised to go for an interview at the supermarket I was looking for this Friday.

“Yes, it’s true that they gave permission because of Lee Kang-hoon.”

“I thought so. Did he find a part-time job?”

“No, they haven’t found it yet.”

Lee Kang-hoon played a big role in Song Ha-na’s ability to find a part-time job instead of going back to her parents’ home.

“My parents trust Lee Kang-hoon too much.”

“Yeah… He’s the same age as me, but he’s trying to be my older brother, so I really hate him…”

Lee Kang-hoon didn’t work hard to repay their trust, but Song Ha-na’s parents trusted Lee Kang-hoon more than necessary.

Simply, Lee Kang-hoon liked Song Hana, so he watched her or chased away men around her,

Song Hana was tired of Lee Kang-hoon’s surveillance and her parents’ obsession.

The possibility that Lee Kang-hoon and Song Ha-na developed into lovers could not have arisen in the first place, and Song Ha-na also developed her greed for Lee Kang-hoon’s deviation rather than harboring feelings of attraction for her.

– Ugh…

“Coffee is here. Let’s eat something sweet to relieve some anger.”

“What are you going to eat Taeyang?”

“I eat whatever’s left over because I’m hungry.”

“But isn’t there something you like?”

Part-time job at a supermarket, parents’ obsession and Lee Kang-hoon’s obsession, Lee Kang-hoon’s backstory, etc.,

The conversation, which included a variety of topics, moved on to finding out one’s tastes.

“I like Korean food. Kimchi stew, soybean paste stew, pork rice bowl, things like that.”

“…”

I entered the building of the College of Social Sciences and told them about my food preferences, and Song Hana stopped.

“What are you pausing to say? Let’s go up before the ice melts.”

Even as she shook her coffee, Song Hana only thought about what she had to say.
Because Song Hana stopped, I also stood still and checked what floor her elevator was on.

“Sun.”

“Huh?”

The moment the elevator stopped on the third floor, Song Hana called my name.

“You work part-time at a supermarket… Are you going to buy food and vegetables there?”

The conversation, which I thought would turn to tastes, turned to part-time jobs. She hadn’t even passed the part-time job, but she asked if I wanted to buy ingredients at the supermarket, and I gave her the obvious answer.

“If I run out of ingredients, I have to buy them. It’s a hassle to go separately.”

All the supermarkets near the university are there.

This is something I found out while looking for a woman, and it was the best thing I could hear.

“But since you’re a dorm student, wouldn’t a convenience store be better?”

“That’s not it, on the day I bought ingredients at the supermarket… Can I make kimchi stew?”

As she was thinking about her part-time job, she said the words without any impure intentions, but Song Hana took them impurely.

“It would be nice if you could, but would you like me to come to your house?”

“Yes, I want to make something for Taeyang because I have a lot to be thankful for.”

“You have something to be thankful for, so go up and say it. I’ll be waiting for the kids.”

Perhaps, it could be an illusion that Song Hana accepted my words impurely.

There was no blush on her pure white cheeks, and Song Hana did not avoid my gaze.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s pure favor.’

With my help, Song Hana was freed from her obsession and surveillance. She could choose to cook as a way to express her gratitude and even say she would come to my house.

I accepted Song Hana’s favor. If you make kimchi stew at home, you can eat it deliciously.

Although, today all I did was buy coffee during lecture,

The deviations that I will teach Song Hana are those that should be taught in her own room, not in the classroom or the supermarket.

“Hey, stay in the classroom after finishing.”

When I accepted her favor, Song Hana quietly followed behind me and sat next to her.

“Wouldn’t it be better somewhere other than the classroom?”

“You can just send the kids out, so don’t talk nonsense and stay.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The female classmates also quietly received coffee, and Kim So-yoon was the only one who spoke.

I’ll kick out all my female classmates, including Song Hana, so stay in the classroom.

Not only I heard Kim So-yoon’s words, but also my female classmates who were sitting around.

After the last group’s presentation, the lecture ended with the professor announcing the final exam schedule.

“Hey, do you know why I asked you to stay?”

As my female classmates quickly left the room, I was left alone with Kim So-yoon in the classroom.

“Is it because you don’t use your card?”

“Uh, what are you trying to get me to do again?”

“Yes, I did have a favor to ask.”

Even after receiving the card, there are various reasons why I paid for my coffee with my card.

There were things I wanted to do to gain Kim So-yoon’s favor, and there were also things I wanted to do to win her favor and ask Kim So-yoon for a favor.

“What is it…”

“We will study together for the final exam in my room.”

Next week is the final exam. Including the exam period, Kim So-yoon and I can study for at most a week.

“Don’t come to my house because you’re stressed out while studying. Stay with me from today.”

“Why is stress accumulating because of you?”

“As long as you don’t get an F grade, let’s just study the key points and be done.”

“Hey, didn’t you hear me?”

“I heard, but I didn’t answer because I didn’t want anyone to be stressed out.”

It has the effect of buying coffee with my credit card. Kim So-yoon burst into laughter as if she were dumbfounded and left a comment telling her to clean her house well.

Final exam period,

Kim So-yoon stayed in my room, and the two of us sat in front of the desk whenever we had time.

“Do it again?”

“Yes, I am from above…”

Whenever I have time, really.

Soyoon Kim climbed on top of me every time a question she didn’t know came up.

Even though I was sitting on the chair, he got on it, and the expression “When we both had time” Didn’t suit us.

“You wrote down numbers 1 and 3, right?”

“Oh, that’s all I wrote down.”

First-year major lectures take into account the level of freshmen.

Kim So-yoon also wrote long answers to questions 1 and 3, and there was no longer an F grade due to attendance and exam issues.

“I’ll go down on Sunday.”

“Yes, you do well in the interview tomorrow.”

“Okay, you look tired. Go in and sleep.”

With the exam on Thursday, the first semester of the first year has come to an end.

Tomorrow, I go to a part-time job interview with Song Ha-na, and Kim So-yoon goes to pack up her luggage to take to her home.
