Chapter 146 – Date With Seonha on the Day of the Exam

College Scholastic Ability Test.
It is probably the most tense day of life for high school seniors and their parents.

The CSAT is a test that evaluates the performance of more than 10 years of study with just one test.
That alone can’t be a great pressure for the examinee.

I also took the SAT just two years ago.
Thanks to a lot of support from my mother and family, I was able to finish the test safely.

However, some students taking exams do not have the support of their families.
Like goodness

Shen Ha is being taken care of by state facilities as an orphan.
I don’t know what happened to Seonha, but as a body that went through the facility, I didn’t feel like it was someone else’s business.

Of course, Seonha also has friends and adults who support her.
But it will be different from the support I received from my mother.
Maybe he’s hiding a gloomy mood beneath his innocent face.

‘What do you know, brother? She was adopted into a good family and lived without lacking anything.’

The words Sunha said last time are stuck in my heart like a thorn.
I don’t know how he felt when he said that.
But just as I was saved by my mother, I wonder if I can help her goodness in some way.

So I left the house early this morning.
To drive her goodness to her test site.

“Senior and later brother! I am so sorry that I am late!”

Seon-ha in a school uniform runs from afar.

Why are you coming so late?
However, the late himself would have wanted to come sooner than anyone else.
So I didn’t nag for nothing.

Haha, I was so nervous, I couldn’t sleep last night, ha ha, I overslept.”

Almost 30 minutes had passed since the appointed time.
It was a time zone in which you might be late even if you ran right now.

“Ride quickly. Let’s go.”

I was lucky enough to have this car.
Black Lamborghini, Aventador S Roadster.
It was a car I received as a gift from my older sister.

I don’t usually drive around, but today is a special day.
It was a car that I drove with the hope that the energy I received from my family during the college entrance exam would be passed on to Seon-ha.

“Wow. My brother’s car looks very strange. The door also opens vertically.”

… It might be difficult for girls to understand the coolness of Lamborghini.
It was the first time that he was treated as strange.

“Brother, I don’t know how to belt this car.”

I put a belt on the body of the hesitant Sunha sitting in the seat next to me.

As he leaned over and brought her face closer, Sun Ha shrank and smiled shyly.
I’m glad you have the spirit to be ashamed.
I was so nervous that I couldn’t even remember how I took the test.

“I will depart. Should I go to Namsan Girls’ High School?”

Buaang-

Step on the accelerator
An angry bull roars down the road.

The streets were quiet enough to be unimaginable in downtown Seoul.

Road conditions that can only be seen on the day of the CSAT exam during the year.
The only car running at this time today is probably the only car with the test takers in it.

“Oh wow. Oh wow Oppa, go slow!”
“What are you going slow? What if I’m late?”

After overtaking several cars in front, Sunha made a fuss.
But I can’t miss an opportunity like today.

On the day of the college entrance exam, they pick up and run with students who are late.
In Korea, there was no such indulgences other than pregnant women right before giving birth.

In the city, it’s going to speed you shouldn’t be able to do it.
Violation of a speeding signal can be forgiven as long as there is no accident.

“Hey, did you eat breakfast?”
“No. I didn’t eat because I overslept.”

If I had known in advance, I would have bought kimbap.

“If you look behind you, there is a gift-wrapped box, right? There’s chocolate, so eat that.”
“Chocolate?”
“I bought it for you. It would be nice to have a meal and go, but right now I don’t have time to stop by the convenience store.”
“Wow! Thank you! Brother before and after! Totally impressed~!”

Sun-ha is delighted like a child at my gift.
I can’t buy you anything great like my older sister, but I’m glad you’re happy with it.

“If you’re thankful, do well on the test. Don’t be too nervous.”
“Yes. I am not very nervous.”
“… Aren’t you too nervous? You didn’t give up on the exam, did you?”
“Huhu~ Well~?”

I’m kind of anxious.
It’s not the atmosphere of a high school senior on the morning of the exam day.

“Ah! Brother! Police!”

A police car follows, flashing its siren.

Oh, is it because of the signal violation?
On a day like today?
Or is it because the car is like this?

“Good. Take out your admission ticket.”

I park the car on the side of the road and roll down the window.
The police pulled up behind me and pulled me out.

“Sorry. I have a student.”

Seonha waved her test ticket beside her.
The policeman checks the time on his watch.

“Ah~ I’m sorry. Shall we take you if you are in a hurry?”
“No. Are you okay. Thank you. Take care.”

I quickly said goodbye and left.
Because there are students, the police will understand.

“Wow! I was surprised! I thought I was going to be arrested by the police!”

Sunha laughed as she stroked her chest.

… To be honest, I was also surprised.
I thought the scab would break. Phew.

After that, I arrived at school without any special happenings.
I couldn’t get inside the school, so Seonha dropped me off on the side of the road where I could see the front gate of the school.

“Senior and later brother. Please wait here for 20 minutes.”
“Huh? 20 minutes? Why?”
“I am anxious. I’ll be looking through the window, so don’t go anywhere until the exam starts.”

I understand your anxiety.
Instead of waiting for a while, if Seon-ha’s anxiety is reduced, she can wait as long as she wants.
The schedule is also from tonight.

“Okay. Well then, I’ll wait until the bell rings for the start of the exam, so good luck with your exam. Go for it.”
“Yes!”

As she entered the good school, she looked back and waved her hand several times.
I also stood there to see off her goodness until the back of her goodness disappeared.

After her ship was completely out of sight, she was slowly going back to her car when an old woman approached her.

“Uh, hey, aren’t you Jin Seon-hoo by any chance?”
“Ah. Yes. That’s right.”

Could it be the student’s mother?
She has spoken with great difficulty.

“Mom! Really!”

He was very happy when he found out that I was right.

Anyway, is there anyone who recognizes me?
Was I a celebrity too?
He wasn’t a celebrity that everyone knew, like his mother and older sister, but there was no way that no one would recognize him.

“Nice to meet you! I am a fan!”
“Oh yes, hello.”

The broadcast hasn’t even started yet, so you’re a fan?
I smiled awkwardly and shook hands with my mother’s fan.

If it was like before, I would have run away quickly, but since I decided to live as a celebrity, that shouldn’t be the case.

I think of Jihye noona’s attitude when dealing with fans.
Even though that older sister is a little odd, she’s a real pro when it comes to her job.

I put on the mask of Ji Hye noona.

“Sir, what are you doing here? Who is taking the exam?”
“Because my younger brother is taking the exam today.”
“I see! My daughter also takes the exam here today! What is she up to!”

This mother made a fuss, so people started snooping about what was going on.

“Mr. Please sign me!”
“Sorry. Because I didn’t bring paper. Would you like to take a picture instead?”
“Yes!”

Her mother quickly takes out her phone and takes a selfie with them.
I lowered my waist and drew a V toward the camera.

“Oh my gosh! Look at the good photos! Your face is the size of a fist!”
“Haha. Thank you.”
“How tall are you? What did you eat to grow so big?”
“It’s about 88 or 89. I grew up eating my mother’s food.”
“Oh-ho-ho! Mom says it’s rice, it’s funny!”

I didn’t say anything, but my mother gave me a big laugh as she slapped me on the arm.
The commotion caused the others to hesitantly come this way.

“Hey, are you a celebrity?”
“Yes. I am Jin Seon-hoo, a new actor.”
“And! Can I take a picture too?”
“Sure. Come over here.”

The students, the students who came to cheer, the parents, and even the merchants around them.
Several people came and took pictures with me one after another.

Most took pictures without knowing who I was, but some did recognize me.

“Ah! Jinmiso oppa!”

Most of the people I knew were students.
Everyone knew me as Miso oppa.
With millions of views on social media videos, it was only natural that there were people recognizing them that way.

By the way, uh…
What do we do?
I can’t find the time to get out.
Even after taking a picture, the next person continued to appear.

It wasn’t as common as I thought.
As I took dozens of pictures, I felt like my facial muscles would twitch as I kept smiling.

Some even tried to hug me or touch me.
That much is fine. As long as you don’t cross the line.
If you want to work as a celebrity, you should be able to pass this on with a smile.

As I took pictures one after another like that, the time for the exam to start passed quickly.
I was exhausted.

“Seonhu oppa, what are you doing?”
“… Uh?”

The person who pats me on the back and talks to me.
It was good that he had just entered the exam.
I was dumbfounded and asked again.

“… Goodness why are you here What about the SAT?”
“Heh heh heh.”

I wondered if I had given up in the first period, but it wasn’t like that.

“Bam! In fact, I was a regular passer!”

Seonha popped up the pass certificate on her cell phone and pushed it against me.

I know this well because I also went through the entrance exam.
It was a university where you did not have to take the SAT if you passed the exam.

I put my hand on my forehead.
My head was dizzy.

“… Kim Seon-ha, then you should have said so… !”
Hehe! I did it to surprise you!”

I’m sorry~ and Seonha acts aegyo.
I didn’t even have the energy to get angry.
I came here to give you a ride with all my heart…

“Brother, let’s go play. There are so many stores offering discounts for students taking exams today.”

Seonha proudly waved the stamped test pad.

“… Is that why you came to the CSAT exam center?”
“Sure! How precious is this!”

It was the attitude of asking something so obvious.
I wont say

“Eh. Ride it.”

I had nothing to say.
In my time…
I had kids like this too.

That’s right, there’s only a two-year difference.

“Brother, here you go. Coin Karaoke. If you have an exam ticket, you get unlimited drinks.”

Sunha shows the screen she searched on her phone and she says.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Even if you don’t have unlimited refills, you can buy a drink that will make your stomach burst.
Sunha would want to enjoy this kind of event itself.
Because the exam is only once in a lifetime.

I came to coin karaoke with Seonha.

It was the first time in my life that I came to a karaoke room.
I thought this was the exclusive property of the in-laws.
I was curious for some reason, so I went in looking around like a country boy.

At the counter, when Seon-ha holds out her test ticket, the owner looks at her suspiciously.
There’s no way a normal student can come to karaoke at this time.

If I had been alone, I wouldn’t have said anything, but Seon-ha shamelessly took the free drink.

“I’ll call you first!”
“Is that so?”

Seonha sang a song I was not familiar with.
If it’s a spring song, I know it to some extent, but I know very little about other idol songs.

Sunha’s singing skills were so-so.
Would you sing well for a normal person?

After Sunha sang two songs first, she passed the microphone to me.

“Call my brother too!”
“I can’t sing.”

The person who wants to call should call as much as he wants.
But she was good and she didn’t seem to think so.

“What is that! When she’s active, she’ll have a chance to sing, but are you going to drop it because she can’t do it on air?”

That was also true.
These days, it’s not just because you’re an actor and you’re good at acting.
I had to do whatever I was told to do.

There are many variety shows that have actors sing, and I will definitely have a job to appear on variety shows and sing.

“… Okay. I will call you too.”

She honestly wasn’t very confident about singing.
This is sincerity, not humility.

When she was young, she was teased by her older sister for singing, and even her mother, who was positive about anything about me, said, ‘You’ll get better with practice.
Now, after listening to those words and practicing them, I’m at least able to sing like a human.

I chose the song I wanted to sing.
The only listener was Sunha, so there was no need to worry about doing well or not.

『Someday he wants you—
It hurts my heart, I saw you crying alone

There was a beep in the treble part, but I didn’t care and sang until the end..

『Even if I give my whole life—
I can’t get-
It’s you who has her-“

The song is over.
Sunha cheered and clapped.

After.
It was cool inside.

“What is your brother? Singing well.”
“I can’t sing. I’m just guessing at the rhythm of the pitch.”

Ordinary people go half the way just by matching the pitch and beat.
It was trained on the piano, so there was nothing difficult.

“Brother, sing one more song.”
“I am done now. Goodness, you call.”
“Ah~. All right. Then I will call you.”
“Huh. But here, can’t you hear anything?”

There was a thud, thump, from somewhere.

“Where are you working?”
“Iknow, right. What is it?”

I put my ear to the wall where I can hear the sound as if Seonha is strange.
Then, in whispers, he called me.

“… Brother. Come and listen.”
“Why?”
“Quickly!”
“What is it?”

Follow Sunha and put your ear to the wall.
From there came a faint voice along with the sound of a thud hitting the wall.

『Ah~ Ah~ Oppa~ Ah~ There~」

… The first thing I saw when I entered was a student couple in school uniforms.
How do you think to do something like this?

“… Goodness, let’s go.”

Come to think of it, I also did it at a movie theater with Miso.
Now that I think about it, that was crazy.

“Why, brother. Let’s play some more.”

It was an interesting look.
I’m old enough to be interested in that kind of thing, but…

I let out a deep sigh.

“Good. Do this when you become an adult.”
“I’ll be an adult in just a month?”
“You still have a month left. Until then, baby.”

I closed my mouth to be good at my words.
Even if it was only a month, I was definitely a teenager until then.

When she tried to urge the quiet Sunha to go out once more, her Sunha opened her mouth.

“… Then, in a month, oppa, will you make me an adult?”

Seonha asked with a bright red face.

Makes you an adult
It probably doesn’t mean asking for roses on Coming-of-Age Day.
I couldn’t answer and froze on the spot.

Thud!

『Aaaaan-』

At such an embarrassing timing, a loud voice rang out from the booth next door.
It sounded like he was shouting into the microphone.

My stiffened body loosened up.
I sighed and said.

“… Come out soon go home.”

In the end, I left without answering Sunha’s question.
