47. Duon Eleven
“Chae Jung-ho! Where do you keep looking?”
“ah… ! sorry.”
Youngmi frowned slightly.
“why? Did you get anything on my lips?”
“haha–! No, I didn’t bury anything.”
I was just checking Youngmi’s lips.
Youngmi’s expression was very dark, but fortunately, it doesn’t seem like something serious enough to bite her lip.
Young-mi said with a slightly mischievous expression.
“You now… Look at my lips, did you think it was strange?”
I said with a puzzled expression, waving my hands.
“no! no! Absolutely not!”
“Oh! look at him You must have thought it was really strange, didn’t you?”
I said blushing.
“Oh, it’s not really like that… .”
Youngmi burst out laughing for a moment and said.
“Puhahaha—! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Jungho, I think you’ve become so cute.”
what? do you think i’m cute
I don’t think this is a compliment, is it?
In an instant, Youngmi stretched out her hand and gently raised it over my head.
“Come to think of it, you seem to have grown a lot in two months? Did our Jungho grow up a lot? Pu ha ha ha!”
After a while, Youngmi stopped laughing and opened her mouth with a slightly serious expression.
“Jeong-ho, why didn’t you come to science high school? If you had made up your mind to go, you could have gone. Is not it?”
“Well… .”
I thought for a moment and then continued.
“I think the biggest reason is that they thought that there was no benefit to going to science high school.”
“I see… So, what will I gain from attending a science high school like this?”
I looked at Youngmi with a surprised expression.
Also, it’s clear what’s going on.
I was very worried, but… I said with a calm expression.
“You can go to a good university first.”
“Even if I study at a regular high school, am I confident that I will go to a good university?”
“I could finish high school in two years… .”
It was possible for science high school students to complete the high school course in two years if they wanted to go on to a science college.
At my words, Youngmi smiled and said.
“But rather than quickly becoming a college student… I like being in high school like this.”
I said looking at Youngmi’s face.
“Young-mi.”
Youngmi turned her head towards me, and I said.
“you… what’s going on at school Can you tell me what’s going on?”
Youngmi nodded and opened her mouth with a short sigh.
“me… To be honest, studying is no longer fun.”
“… !”
“Mathematics was my favorite subject… The math you learn in science high school is not so much fun.”
“Why aren’t you having fun?”
At my question, Youngmi started talking hesitantly.
It was a long story mixed with complaints about the school curriculum… .
The conclusion was prior learning.
Young-mi seemed to be reluctant to follow the indoctrinated study method without any prior learning of high school mathematics.
After the long story, Yeong-mi’s expression seemed lighter.
Maybe Yeong-mi needed a friend to listen to her complaints like this.
There was silence for a moment, and in an awkward atmosphere, I raised one eyebrow and said.
“Isn’t it because I ruined the midterm exam?”
“Sheesh! You heard it.”
Young-mi’s soft smile.
Young-mi goes back to the dormitory tomorrow.
Then I will have to wait a long time to see English and American again, right?
“Boy! Stop staring!”
“ah… ! sorry.”
Youngmi said, rubbing her lips with her hand.
“Isn’t there really something on my lips?”
“haha–! Because it is not.”
Youngmi changed her expression again and said.
“It’s Jeongho.”
“yes?”
“me… Should I drop out of science high school?”
“… !”
I looked into Yeong-mi’s eyes and said.
“you… Are you serious?”
Youngmi nodded, and I asked.
“Have you talked to your parents?”
Yeong-mi shook her head, and I spoke again.
“I think you should talk about this with your parents first?”
“you?”
“me? What am I?”
“What do you want me to do? Shall I drop out of science high school?”
The merits of science high school graduates in Korea, where academics are gangsters, are clear.
Admission to Hankuk University is half secured, and even if you do not have the confidence to enter Hankuk University, you are given the option of entering a science university with early graduation from your sophomore year.
Maybe a month ago… .
I would definitely have dried up Youngmi.
It’s a little difficult at first, but you’ll get used to it after a while.
However, a series of recent events have changed my mind a lot.
In particular, at the time of the incident… .
I think I changed my mind a lot after meeting Team Leader Kim Jeong-soo and reflecting on the story I heard from him and the news of his dismissal.
“me… Do you want to quit science high school and come back here?”
I opened my mouth to Young-mi’s prompt question.
“Yeah, I wish I did.”
“really?”
I nodded and said.
“If you quit science high school, I will help you. you study math… Until it’s fun again, I’ll take responsibility and help.”
Youngmi’s expression brightened at my words.
Yes, as expected, Youngmi’s smile is pretty.
That was then.
Yeong-mi put her face to me and kissed my lips slightly.
Moist feeling left on the lips.
You are using the expression to feel dizzy at times like this.
I looked at Yeong-mi with a blank expression on her face, and after a while, she said with a smirk.
“Boy! Wake!”
Young-mi told me to calm down… .
I don’t know what I said back.
All day today… This hazy state continued.
* * *
After a long time, when Yeong-mi and I became adults, Yeong-mi once asked me about today’s work.
Why did you tell me to drop out of science high school?
In response to Youngmi’s question, I said:
“The 17-year-old Youngmi seemed so desperate to quit science high school, so I told her to do it.”
At my words, Youngmi slowly nodded and said.
“thank you. Actually then… I did what you said.”
I looked at Yeong-mi with a surprised expression, and she continued what she was saying.
“If you told me to keep going to science high school, I probably would.”
Young-mi’s words that she would remain in a science high school would be sincere.
According to the story I heard from Young-mi’s mother, her midterm exam grades at science high school were the best, and her math score was a perfect 100.

A week later.
When the zero-hour self-study was over, the bell rang announcing the inquiry time.
The classroom door opened, and the homeroom teacher entered, followed by a female student.
it was young
I heard that he would drop out of science high school and transfer to our school, but I never expected that Youngmi would be assigned to my class.
wait… !
I turned my head to look at In-cheol, and In-cheol shrugged with an expression that he did not know.
“How do you guys keep talking even after the homeroom teacher came in? huh? Everyone be quiet! Class monitor!”
The class leader got up and said hello, and the teacher opened his mouth.
“A new student came to our class today. My name is Youngmi Kim, and I came from a Korean science high school.”
I could feel Yeong-mi’s expression hardening slightly at the word science high school.
I wondered if it was necessary to say that I came from a science high school, and, as it were, I heard gossips everywhere.
“Everyone calm down! quiet!”
When the children’s gossip subsided, the teacher said to Yeong-mi.
“Then let’s briefly introduce ourselves and go into the empty seat over there.”
With an answer, Youngmi opened her mouth.
“Guys, nice to meet you. My name is Youngmi Kim. Please.”
Said a guy from the back seat.
“Why did you transfer here from science high school?”
Youngmi smiled and said.
“I was completely dead in the midterm. I felt the wall of the science high school and ran away right away.”
again a month later.

Now it’s the end of May.
And the word that appears the most in economic newspapers over the past month is… .
Bankruptcy, bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and arrears of wages.
Team leader Kim Jung-soo was right.
By May, corporate bankruptcies began.
And the situation will only get worse.
Saturday.
After all the morning classes were over, In-cheol, Ji-eun, Young-mi, and I, the four of us packed their bags and left the classroom.
I asked Incheol.
“You’re going to Yunseong Soft today, right?”
Yoon Sung Soft.
This is a company that Yoon Seok-yi hyung and I launched last month.
Since my stake is only 10%, it is effectively a company run by Yoon Seok-yi.
By the way, the name of the company was created by Yoon Seok-yi, but I don’t know what the company name ‘Yun-seong’ means.
One time, I asked about the company name, and Yoon Seok-yi hyung said it was just a good name and blurted out the end of his words.
In-cheol started a part-time job at Yunseong Soft, visited the Yunseong Soft office every Saturday, and is working on organizing virus information collected from 8,000 computers at Hankuk University.
In response to my question, Incheol nodded and said.
“right. By the way… I’m a little scared to go to work today.”
Incheol said he was afraid to go to work.
This is because the number of computers that collect viruses has increased from 8,000 to 12,000 recently.
Three years ago, I made a program that draws infinite series-type functions, including the Riemann zeta function, as a three-dimensional image. This program has been used free of charge in mathematics departments at 50 universities nationwide.
When I started Yunseong Soft last month, I asked for help from the math departments of these universities, and the response came back better than I expected.
Most schools installed a program to detect Yun Sung Soft’s new virus, and some universities installed this program on all computers in the computer lab operated by the College of Science as well as the Department of Mathematics.
Incheol continued speaking with a short sigh.
“under—! And the boss is nice, but he keeps taking me home, so it’s very inconvenient. No matter how old I am now, I’m still being treated like a kid… It’s absurd.”
I said with a smirk.
“haha–. You will get used to it.”
When I came out of the school gate, Ji-eun said hello and headed towards her house, and I walked towards the bus stop with In-cheol and Yeong-mi.
Bus stop.
When the southwest-facing bus arrived, while getting on the bus, I told Yeong-mi and In-cheol.
“ah… ! will you guys go first? I forgot something I left at school, so I have to bring it.”
Youngmi said at my words.
“okay? Then we’ll get on the next bus, okay?”
“No, people are waiting behind you. come on ride Young-mi, I’ll go to your house right after lunch. And I’ll see you tomorrow!”
So I sent them on the bus, and I hurriedly ran to school.
The road across from the school gate.
A black car was parked there.
It’s a ’97 black Avante.
As I approached the car and knocked on the window, the dark tinted window went down.
