15 – Future High School
I never imagined that Jin-ah would still remember something like that in her head.
Every day, wearing fancy clothes, eating delicious food- and driving fancy cars.
She thought the memories of running on the sand or playing hide-and-seek behind the trees were trivial and would soon be forgotten.
I think it was a very impressive experience for Jina.
“…The playground we used to play every day”
Actually, Jina Lee, I didn’t expect that she would have something like this in her head.
While talking with Jin-ah for a while, she is immersed in her old memories.
In the past, the two of us really had fun together.
At that time, Jin-ah meticulously remembered everything I said and every single action she took. And then I don’t do anything I don’t like.
In a way, Jin-ah seemed to notice me often at that time.
I’ve never been angry at Jin-ah for a while.
At that time, Jin-a was meticulous, kind, round-hearted, and didn’t want to fight with others, and she didn’t want to be hated again, and always wanted to be happy.
When I was in elementary school, I can express the feelings I received from her while watching Jin-ah.
Of course, at that time, the true self of her was no longer able to be found after washing her eyes,
This short conversation.
There, I felt that memories like a weak link that seemed to break at any moment were connecting the present Jin-ah and me.
That’s why
-We used to be close in the past..! So, why not keep being friends…?
I couldn’t put an iron plate on her face enough to stick to her like Park Chae-ah.
I didn’t really have anything to do other than spend the given time faithfully while doing the best I could in moderation.
Time passed quickly like an arrow.
No… First of all, shouldn’t we take the test…? I thought so.
After Jin-ah was called to her office, she said that that day she told her grandfather that she had to take one of her friends with her, and she also… Her homeroom teacher.
-Wouldn’t it be nice to try it once..?
They kept asking me to take the test.
Well… It’s like wanting me to go to high school in the future.
Meister high school or vocational application pass period is announced after taking the exam.
I have half a heart that can’t win the flames of the people around me, and half a heart to gain experience no matter what it is because I have to take the high school exam later.
With that in mind, I made up my mind to take the future high school exam.
…The exam date was approaching, but I didn’t bother talking to Jin at school.
That… Well… Just… I don’t know what’s going on in my head, whether I’m thinking of doing something or tearing it off, but the kids have always gathered around Jin-ah, and they’re trying to squeeze in between them. As long as i
I didn’t have any affinity for it, and I didn’t even bother to try it.

It was quite cold, probably because it was autumn and dawn. If I had known it would be this cold, I would have come wearing a thin padding.
When I blew on the wind, my breath leaked out. The other day, I asked to meet in front of the playground around 6 o’clock, so I’m waiting. No one is coming
I thought you were referring to the playground we used to play together in elementary school when you said it was a playground we played every day. Are there any other playgrounds…?
Maybe I’m wrong…?
I think so. A little anxious.
I thought it would be okay if I just didn’t hit it anyway, but this is what people’s psychology woke up so early. Shouldn’t it be cut? I also have a feeling that
…Should I say I’m a bit ashamed..?
A pitiful story in a way.
You can think of it, but I still don’t have a smartphone even though I’m in my third year of middle school.
Still, I didn’t really feel… Uncomfortable, because I go around alone at school anyway, and Yoo-jung is there when I go to the nursery school.
So… I don’t feel the need to keep in touch, and… That… These days, the management of the nursery school is really bad, so why not frown because I don’t have a smartphone.
That’s also the reason why I work part-time, and it’s hard to clean the barbecue grill every weekend, but it’s good that the salary is good enough.
“…Seonah Yoo”
“Huh?”
No, I was just thinking about something, and then a cream colored car passed in front of the playground.
A car you’ve never seen before.
A car with a B shape embedded in a black circle, with wings on the left and right… A car with a pattern on the front.
Of course Jin-ah is from a rich family, so.. What are the three German companies..? I thought I would bring a car like that, but this is the first car I’ve ever seen in my life.
“Hurry up, it’s cold outside”
“Uh uh”
Jinah, who lowered the back seat window halfway, urged me to get into the car, so I just opened the back door and got into the car.
Perhaps it was a cream colored car, and the inside of the car was also cream colored. A slightly darker cream color. Something like coffee cream..?
The seats were warm as if they were heated, and the backrest was extremely soft. I couldn’t sit comfortably.
Something.
My gut feeling.
Instinct
This is much more expensive than a German car.
Because I was saying that.
So… I feel like I shouldn’t touch anything, so I’m sitting with my knees on top of my hands and my back stiff.
“Can I sit comfortably?”
“I am comfortable with this”
“Be sure to fasten your seat belt or you will have an accident”
Jina naturally fastened her seat belt. As you approach, you can feel the sweet fruity scent.
It smells like peaches.
The car was still moving, but I couldn’t hear anything like the engine running.
You should hear that kind of sound when you normally ride in a car.
A person was sitting in the driver’s seat while driving.
She has gray hair, but… She doesn’t look old enough to have a granddaughter like Jin-ah.
But since I told my grandfather to come pick me up, that person is probably my grandfather.
That doesn’t look like she’s old enough to have a granddaughter like Jin-ah. I would believe it even if I said it was a father-daughter relationship.
Seeing you drive with your mouth shut, you seem reticent.
“Hello. I’m Kang Yoo-seon, my classmate… That’s Jin-ah… Are you going to be my grandfather?”
Friends. I don’t even think we’re close anymore… I don’t know why it’s so awkward to say the word friend.

And I also thought, did she have to wear a quadrupedal leg..?
…That’s awkward, wow- you really have a baby face…! Should she have even flattered her? I think so.
“That’s a knight”
“Ah…! Ah… Ah…”
The driver you only see in movies. Couldn’t Jinah have a lot more money than I thought?
I turned my head slightly and looked at Jin-ah, and Jin-ah… Just seemed unconcerned. Our eyes met for a moment, but I just pretended not to know.
… I wish I could turn on the radio, but I just can’t hear anything… This silence is so awkward. I took out a workbook from my bag.
Something, this atmosphere. The situation I’m in right now feels very unreal…? It’s like you’re dreaming.
“…Are you studying?”
“..Huh? Uhh… Just… What… I’m just watching… The exams are coming soon”
Well then, what the hell am I going to talk about with you…?
It’s just a strange story that doesn’t seem like a star.
What kind of conversation can I have with Jin, who drives such a luxurious car, and me, who barely watches TV?
…So, I just kept my mouth shut and read the notebook.
Among the things the homeroom teacher said, he used to study in the car.
There was a word. I heard that sound then
How can I study in the car..?
I thought so- but when I tried it, it worked really well.
Because I felt like Jin-ah would say something next to me if I spoke out even a little.
So… She was real until she got to that school in Gangwon-do. I couldn’t take my eyes off the notebook.
Future High School had the appearance advertised in the real pamphlet, and Jina and I got off the parking lot and walked to the exam hall.
Maybe people come from all over the country at Mirae High School, so it seemed like the exam halls were divided by region.
So this time, Jina and I were able to take the test at the same test center again. No, because it’s not that important.
As for the exam questions… They were just all difficult.
The Korean language had a lot of Chinese characters I had never seen before, and everything in English was written in English, so it took me a year to interpret it.
In mathematics, things that didn’t even seem to come out of the curriculum were all included in the problem… Speaking of society or science, it hurts my mouth.
Especially, English was not an OMR and narrative test, but also- I took a test in which I spoke in English in front of an interviewer.
At that time, the interviewer, who looked very strict, said something in English to me.
The interviewer keeps saying so-and-so, but that… I’m nervous. Should I say the vocabulary level? That’s why it’s so high. I couldn’t understand the question.
-Umm…
I wasn’t the only one interviewing, I was interviewing in a group of 5, and as this situation continued, I felt that everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
Well, everyone here was just able to understand and answer the question, no matter how badly or well.
“…Kang Yuseon-gun. Roe deer are playing in Mt. Gwanak. Please say that in English.”
“Gwanak Mountain deer jumping..?”
-Ha..!
-Poop..!
– BIG!
The poor interviewer asked a question in Korean, and I… I answered according to my level.
Roe deer..? What is noru in English…? I do not know. I closed my eyes and answered.
There are eyes that look at me pathetically, and there are also eyes that ridicule me… It’s a bit embarrassing, but I could stand it.
Anyway, these are people you wouldn’t see today.
After all the exams were over, I… Was able to leave the exam room. Jin-a spoke to her from behind.
“Did you do well on the test..?”
“…No, just. I don’t know anything…”
“I don’t know anything either, why the problem is so difficult… I don’t know if this was really made to solve, or… I don’t know if it was made to make fun of it..!”
How many times were the questions difficult, and how many times were they easy? While talking about the past, we walked towards the parking lot.
And then… The driver who was waiting in front of the car looked at us (Jinah to be exact), greeted us 90 degrees… And opened the back seat door.
…My first high school entrance exam ended like that… And the teacher called me to the office.
