24 – Freshmen
“…Ahhh.. Yoo Seon-ah. Quickly~”
Lee Jin-ah keeps bringing a sandwich to my mouth.
Should I eat this? Should I not?
To be honest, I’m hungry because I didn’t eat breakfast, but I don’t want to eat this.
If possible, something else. I wish I had something other than a sandwich. …I don’t want to eat in front of everyone.
“My arm hurts. I want you to eat it quickly…”
She opened her mouth slightly and bit into the sandwich Gina was holding.
Crunchy cabbage, salty ham, and rich cheese flavor, moist tomato, and sweet sauce all harmonized together to make it delicious.
To the extent that they are on a different level from sandwiches sold at convenience stores.
“It’s delicious ..! I thought Yoo Seon would be delicious for her taste too…”
-hehehehe
What makes me so happy… Lee Jin-ah also started eating the sandwich while smiling brightly.
Seeing the place where I had been bitten again began to eat, my heart was complicated.
I could feel that everyone around me was paying attention to this direction.
It would be a rare sight in a lifetime to see the granddaughter of the Mirae family prepare a lunchbox and feed it herself, when normal students would sit around and eat sandwiches.
I understand.
If not now, when will we be able to see something like that? It would be a shame to miss it… But that’s it and this is this.
Cold sweat dripping down, sitting posture is uncomfortable.
Contrary to her suffocating feeling, Lee Jin-ah is carefree as if she had just gone on a picnic.
Yum yum-
My insides are burning black, but Lee Jin-ah was eating only a sandwich.
…
Lee Jin-ah, who was eating a sandwich, met her eyes.
As her brown eyes narrow, she hehehe-smiles again.
“Yoo Seon-ah, would you like more?”
“No, I… I’m fine…”
“Does Seon Yoo not eat breakfast well? He must be very hungry…
Then she just needs to eat a lot for lunch! Shall we go out to eat lunch? Or should we eat at the restaurant?”
“…Lunch”
Come to think of it, I should stick with Lee Jin-ah until all her classes are over.
Until then, it was difficult to endure without eating anything. Yesterday, I stayed with Lee Jin-ah until dinner, so she didn’t eat anything.
“It’s forbidden not to eat today just because you’re not hungry! Look at this! Look at the cheeks getting in. You’re going to become a skeleton at this rate. Yoo Seon-ah. Do you have to eat with me today?
Diet is good, but you should also think about your health. And just in case, it’s okay to skip class? The teacher said you can take it off once, but not twice!
No matter how many classes she attends, all of her grades count …
Yoo Seon Oh, even if she lies down on her desk, let her participate in the class unconditionally? Got it..? And Yoo Seon-ah, you shouldn’t eat in her dormitory! I’m scolded by the housemaster”
Eating dinner alone after breaking up with Lee Jin-ah. And she was not allowed to skip class and go back to the dormitory to secretly eat.
Lee Jin-ah, who eliminated all my options, gave me no other choice except for me to eat her meal with him.
…By the way, Jinah Lee. How do you even know I eat ramen alone in the dorm?
“Hmm… What are you going to eat today? I don’t have anything in particular that I want to eat, so I hope Yoo Seon picks one for me!”
……
Mirae High School is a boarding school, and it is a bit far from the normal city center, so it was difficult to get necessary items in time, so there was a separate convenience store inside the school.
Anyway, since I finished high school, I don’t sell alcohol or cigarettes. Ramen or bread- and… They sell toilet paper and stuff like that, but the kids here didn’t want to buy things there.
Because when you go to a restaurant, hotel-level dishes are served, but there is no reason to boil ramen here. It’s not that the kids here don’t have money.
I was a ‘special selection’, so I got all the pocket money I needed for a separate life. It wasn’t that I couldn’t afford to boil ramen at a convenience store, though.
I wanted to save money as much as possible.
“Ramen is no way!! Eating such things is bad for your health! Again… You were thinking of cooking ramen alone? I’m going to live today! Let’s go eat something delicious.”
“…Hey how do you know what I’m eating?”
“I saw it while taking a walk the other day. Hey, I saw it at a convenience store. I sat in the corner and ate ramen. Was it delicious to eat alone? Yoo Seon-ah, rumors have spread! Because Yoo Seon-i is popular.
hehehe– Yusun’s eating ramen in the dormitory is also rumored by people, yes! Okay.”
“…”
“Anyway! Let’s eat together from now on, okay?”
All the money in my bank account comes out of Jina Lee’s wallet.
.
I’m sorry for Lee Jin-ah, I notice it. It doesn’t feel like that.
Well, Jina Lee is overflowing with money, but she said that I only spent 50,000 won, so there’s no way she’ll grab me by the collar.
But that’s why she didn’t want to spend the money Jina Lee put in my wallet.
The money Jina Lee spent for her future high school tuition, and she paid for my sleeping quarters, water bill, electricity bill, and rice. School uniform expenses, medical expenses…Even pocket money in the name of cultural experience expenses
I plan to pay interest on everything and give it back to Lee Jin-ah.
The more you get involved economically, the more you can’t escape Lee Jin-ah. I didn’t want to live depending on Lee Jin-ah.
If you reduce unnecessary consumption, money will accumulate in your bank account quickly.
That’s why I only ate ramen. From now on, I will eat with Lee Jin-ah.
“By the way, should we have breakfast together and dinner together?”
Until yesterday, breakfast and dinner were fine as long as I avoided lunch, but now I can’t do that.
“You have to eat three full meals. You gain weight and become healthy! Look at this… I eat ramen or something all the time, so I lost weight like this.
Because I am delicious and I know a lot. Will I have to eat full of food from now on..? Got it? Yoo Seon-ah?”
“Yes..”
“Doesn’t it seem like we’ve been eating lunch for the first time in a while? That’s why Yoo Seon-ah. Let’s go out for a while and come back! Anyway, after our first period, we have time until lunch!”
2)
I had no choice.
After all, as Lee Jin-ah said, there were no classes from 11:00 to 2:00. She had no choice but to dine with Lee Jin-ah.
From noble mtl dot com
Her meeting with Lee Jin-ah should not be avoided.
If that happened, I felt like something bad would happen.
-Let’s change into private clothes instead of school uniforms..!
Jinah Lee said so, so she returned to the dormitory and changed into plain clothes.
A gray hoodie and jeans. …The clothes Yoojung bought for me.
I was fiddling with the hem of my clothes for no reason.
I don’t know why. Because I’m wearing this I also feel very comfortable. The one that fits my body type.
That … Even when Yoo-jung bought a hoodie, it felt like she put a lot of thought into it.
Except for Jinah Lee, everyone in this school seems to avoid me and hate me, from the students to the teachers.
When I wear the clothes Yoo-jung bought me, even though there are many people who hate me at school.
I feel much better knowing that somewhere in this world there is someone who really wishes me well and happiness.
When I put on my clothes and walked out of my room, there were large boxes.
Are these things from your roommate?
-Kang Yu-seon.
My name is written on the delivery note. When the hell did this come here..?
I checked the sender’s name.
-Jinah Lee
I packed all the boxes and went back into the room. I checked the items in the box.
“…All clothes”
Clothes, shoes, watches. Hat.
……Luxury products such as Hermes and Guji.
Why, the first floor of a department store was full of things. Enough to fill a closet.
Aren’t these clothes roughly tens of thousands of won a piece..?
I don’t know the detailed price, but I don’t know if it’s the price to buy one of these clothes.
I thought that I would be able to buy all of the clothes Yoo-jung bought for her.
…
My heart is heavy. I didn’t even want this I didn’t want anything, so why… Did you buy me these things?
I can’t take this. These are things I shouldn’t be using. These clothes weren’t something I earned through hard work.
Bribes.
I felt like this was a bribe that politicians give and take.
Why did Lee Jin-ah send me such a gift?
I don’t know what Lee Jin-ah is thinking.
But a simple favor. It’s more than just a gift for a friend.
What the hell do you want from me…
Go to the store and get a refund. Thinking of returning it to Lee Jin-ah, I did not remove the plastic bag or tag attached to her clothes, and kept the box one after another. She gathered them in the corner of the room.
I can’t accept this.
I opened the door again and tried to escape outside. Someone talked to me
“Hey, Yuseon Kang. What are you..?”
Looking back, there was a sportsman who I and Lee Jin-ah had been arguing with the other day.
Surely the kid who said that one of his friends couldn’t get into this school because of me.
I still don’t know his name, but he knew my name.
“You…”
My whole body was covered in bruises as if I had rolled over on the stairs.
There were bruises on his face like that of a panda, and a tissue was stuck in his nostrils as if he was bleeding from his nose.
Why?
Before you can say that, the other side starts talking with a quick-fire gun.
“Hey, what is your girlfriend…?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t pretend not to know.
Did you f*cking make that for Lee Jin-ah?”
“Why did I do that to you..?”
“Yes. sh*t, then Lee Jin-ah would have done it. Hey. f*ck common sense, it’s been a month since I entered the school. How can I be punished like this because I have a grudge?”
“I don’t know..”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know about it, Joe, it doesn’t matter. It’s related anyway. Is there anything you want to tell me..?”
It’s too unfair. I don’t know.
Well, I never imagined that Lee Jin-ah would retaliate like this on someone else for what happened on the first day of the semester.
“I…I am!”
“Hey, that’s okay. f*ck, I… I’m not one to kneel down and surrender. Hey, Jinah Lee and you too.
You touched the wrong person. I don’t give up. Later, I will definitely pay you back as much as I did!”
Sports hair that once poured out words at me roughly, then slaps my shoulder and walks away.
What the hell is going on without me knowing, I don’t know.
What… Are you doing…?
