When do you think college students are most excited?
Festival period? Vacation period? Right after the exam?
Everything is wrong.
College students… No, ironically, the time when humans want to play the most is when they should not play.
Then when is the time when college students should not play the most?
That’s right. That’s the exam period. It’s the most fun magical time to do anything other than studying.

Many college students across the country cannot resist that sweet desire, so they close their books and run out of the house, the library, or the classroom.
Of course, students at prestigious Korean universities were different. Most people are good at resisting such desires.
No problem. Because they are the most diligent students in the country who spent that hellish life of taking the exam.
Except for a few unscrupulous groups, most Korean University students are diligent in preparing for exams during exam period.
But… That doesn’t mean their minds are intact.

[hahahaha]
[Please come to your senses… ]
[Is he really crazy lol]
[Ugh no… ! I was forced to come in… Memorize it!?]
[↑ hahahaha this kid is funnier hahahahaha]
It was a rubbish article posted on Hankook University ETA during the final exam period at Hankuk University.
The desire to play is building up like crazy, but I know that if I play during this period, I will have to pick up the tear-filled lecture book and retake it later, so I am venting my desire by talking nonsense like this.
When one guy opened up the ETA bulletin board, everyone started screaming crazy things one by one, as if they wanted to prove that their drip was more novel.
[Ahhhhh!!! Scholarship 0 won!!!! Full tuition!!!]
[Really, the only thing left now is how to study for the Olympics… The significance is placed on participation rather than on results.]
[Why do you eat soup and rice? At that time, I will have a good time and not take the test.]
[I will wear a condom to the next lecture. Because I’m f*cked lol]
[↑ Even if you apologize to the professor, it doesn’t work lol]
We say crazy things to each other, and on top of that, we leave positive comments.
Although it was less time spent playing outside, the students’ valuable study time was being wasted by very useless chatter.
[Title: When this exam is over, I will definitely confess to that oppa… ]
This nonsense article, which sounded like a death flag to anyone, was one of those articles.
The content of the article was as follows.
[Content: When this exam is over, I will definitely confess to my brother at that snack bar… Brother, please give me strength… !]
Those who knew could know. The part-time job at this snack bar is Soi Bunsik’s Lee Hansol.
There are several snack bars near Hankuk University, but Soi Bunsik was the only snack bar where a young man worked that a female college student would confess to.
As expected, some people in the comments pretended to know Hansol.
[LOL I know who it is. If I get an A+, I will immediately go confess to that oppa]
[↑ You’re saying you’ll never do it hahahahaha]
[But I don’t know how old you are, but he’s not actually your older brother lol. He’s a freshman at our school, and he’s 20 years old lol]
[↑ But be careful. Disclosing other people’s personal information here can be dangerous.]
No matter how anonymity was guaranteed at Etta University, if specificity was established and the parties concerned were displeased, there was a possibility that it could become a legal problem.
Still, at that level, it wouldn’t be that much of a problem… A comment was posted right below that blurted out more sensitive personal information without even understanding the atmosphere.
[But if I confess to that boy, I’ll be 100% rejected lol. That guy has a part-time girlfriend. That’s also the girl I work with part-time lol. I know her because she’s in our department, but she also changed her profile picture so it looks like she took a picture with her girlfriend lol.]
After that, there were several comments saying they were shocked and that the man was a waste, but the post itself was reported and deleted.
It’s good to go crazy and laugh and talk amongst yourself, but it’s better not to say anything that might harm others.

When I entered the classroom to listen to my major lecture, all of my classmates’ eyes turned to Hansol. It was just as Hansol expected.
Since the day before, I had been talking about Hansol changing her profile picture in the group chat room or by sending a personal message to Hansol.
Hansol said hello to some of the dogs and then sat down next to Park Dong-myeong, who was sitting first.
“Hello, brother.”
“Oh, are you here? I was so surprised when I saw your profile picture this morning. What is it, without saying a word all of a sudden? “Since when have you been dating him?”
“It’s been about two weeks. “The photo was taken yesterday when we went to the aquarium together.”
After going to the aquarium with Soi, Hansol changed the photo they took there into her profile photo. She took his profile picture, which originally had nothing on it.
Soyi noticed something in Hansul and carefully asked if he could use that photo as his profile picture, so Hansol was the first to change it.
Why do you care so much? If you were dating, it would be nice if you were a little more confident.
‘Like me in my past life, you don’t have a face that can’t be used as a profile picture, and you have a pretty face.’
In his past life, Hansol dated Soyi for three years, but even taking a picture together felt burdensome.
In the meantime, using a couple photo as a profile picture is nonsense.
No matter how good Soyi was, Hansol was desperately opposed to it. He was afraid of what his loved one would hear around him.
And although the reason was not told to Hansol, Soyi also had a similar reason.
She was afraid that Hansol would hear something bad from people at her college because he was dating her.
Soyi had an unnecessary concern that students at prestigious universities might have a tendency to hang out with each other.
“Hey~ Is it because of him that I got a part-time job at the snack bar there? You really put a lot of effort into your relationship compared to what it seems, right? When did the romance begin? “Did you like it first?”
“Yes, I liked it first. The reason I worked part-time at a snack bar was because of my girlfriend… “That’s right.”
Dong Myung Park grinned and asked Han Sol various things about his relationship with So Yi.
Since he is a man who likes these kinds of stories, Hansol also expected him to come out like this.
After Park Dong-myeong first opened the door, other classmates who were a little close to Hansol gathered together and started asking various questions.
How did we meet? What is this person doing? … How far has the progress progressed?
Hansol handled her difficult questions and told them just enough to make them happy.
“… It’s not very pretty. Lee Han-sol is much more of a waste. The clothes she’s wearing look cheap, she’s short, and her style isn’t that great. Why is Lee Han-sol dating a woman like this? But since she’s just a part-time co-worker, she’s surprised for a moment, right? It’s funny really… “No matter what, I need to meet a girl of the right level.”
Of course, not everyone was happy about Hansol’s love life.
Choi Nara, who was sitting next to Ara, looked arrogant and grumbled and cursed at Soi.
Because she was secretly targeting Hansol and keeping in touch with him.
She didn’t even contact me first and gave me a half-hearted response, and she ended up dating a woman like this.
To Choi Nara, her face looked worse than his own, and there seemed to be no difference in her level between herself and a woman who worked at a snack bar or didn’t even go to college.
She turned off her cell phone screen and asked Ara sitting next to her.
“Ara, what do you know? Lee Han-sol, he said he had a weakness for that woman? I was dumbfounded ever since she said she worked at a snack bar… “Araya?”
“… “I don’t know.”
Ara, who was staring blankly at Hansol’s profile picture, answered half-heartedly.
Hansol was smiling in the photo. There may be many different types of laughter, but this was the type that Ara knew.
She is the bright smile that Hansol gives when he is really happy, which he even showed to Ara herself when she was young.
She knew better because Ara had recently become in the habit of looking at photos she had taken with Hansol.
‘Sol, you’re happy. With this person… ‘
After Ara grew up, she rarely took pictures with Hansol. Even if I had to take a picture, I never remember taking a picture of the two of them smiling brightly like this.
But the first time I saw a picture of a grown Hansol smiling was with another woman…
Ara felt miserable.
However, despite her sinking heart, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Why am I smiling? If you think about it, it’s probably because the person you love smiles.
It was painful yet good to see Hansol smiling next to another woman.
A spoonful of sweet joy has fallen into a bowl full of bitter sorrow.
Tiring-!
… Ara saved the photo.
Even though it hurts every time I see him, I wanted to see his smile.
Before the professor came in and began the lecture, Ara took one last look at Hansol in the photo.
Even though she couldn’t meet him in real life, even though Hansol didn’t smile in real life, her Hansol in her photo smiled at her. Even if that smile wasn’t directed at her.
‘Sol, if you are that happy away from me… So what should I do? Sol, without you, I… How to become happy… ?”
Hansol in the photo did not give Ara an answer.

Tallang~
“Welcome… yo. This?”
“Why is it in question form? Do you usually do that to customers?”
“… No.”
As the evening peak hour passed, a suspicious customer came into Soi Bunsik.
A hat worn tightly and sunglasses. She is a woman who behaves in a way that would not be suitable for a snack house… She was Minah.
Even though I couldn’t see her eyes because she was wearing sunglasses, I felt like I knew how Minah looked at me.
She was quite feverish right now. Anyone can tell by that unpleasant voice and the way he stands cross-legged.
“Sol, what’s going on? Who came… Uh?”
“Tsk… “
So-yi and Kwak Joo-hee, who were in the kitchen, came out alone to see what was going on.
Soyi recognized Minah and her eyes widened.
Minah clicked her tongue at Soyi and then spoke to me.
“Lee Han-sol, come out. “Let’s talk.”
