＜Episode 85＞ Declaration
As I flowed through my ordinary daily life as usual, I came to face the week before the exam.
2 weeks before the exam. There is still plenty of time. So, as always, I didn’t study for the exam… … I wanted to Even that was impossible this semester.
There’s one tyrant in my house who never admits cramming.
I look at Si-eun, who is making fun of the pen.
This is Si-eun who lives in my room. For the scholarship, he spares his busy time and concentrates on his studies. The study naturally took place on the bed in my room.
When he suddenly turned his eyes while typing on the keyboard, Si-eun was mostly studying. Watching the lecture recordings over and over again and taking notes was truly terrifying.
It’s like I can’t stand it if I don’t study. I ended up studying with Si-eun.
Fortunately, there are many subjects that we take together this semester. Studying together is a lot of fun. It wasn’t too bad.
As I watched Si-eun, who was so absorbed in her studies, Si-eun immediately raised her head and said:
“I see.”
“yes.”
“You know there is an event tomorrow, right?”
Of course, it sounds like you know, but unfortunately, I didn’t know that. It’s the first I’ve heard of it, let alone something I don’t know.
“What event?”
“It’s our class event. They face each other and talk while sharing snacks.”
Si-eun tilted her face and answered. If you explain this much, you will understand.
Of course, I don’t know how to explain this.
“Are you starting this semester?”
Si-eun raised her eyebrows as if bewildered at my question.
“I did it every semester, mid-term and final. I did not know?”
“I did not know.”
“why?”
ask the obvious Is there any other reason It’s because Asa doesn’t even have anyone to teach him about the existence of departments and events.
Therefore, it was my first time attending that ‘departmental event’.
At first, I had no intention of coming. It’s been running well for two and a half years without me, so there’s no need to intervene. There is no one to talk to when I go.
But what followed was decisive.
“I’m the president of the department’s student council, so I’m in charge of the event. I’ll go back for a while after dinner tomorrow.”
“uh… … .”
It was an ordinary voice. I felt as if I could not come if I didn’t want to.
In a situation like this, where is the boyfriend waving to say goodbye? School is full of wolves. To protect Si-eun like a lamb, I had no choice but to follow.
So I came to the lobby on the first floor of the building.
Looking at Si-eun, who is dealing with and people with a big smile.
I was sitting at a distance, sipping a sandwich and a cola.
Fewer people than expected.
From what I heard, it didn’t seem like the event was attended by everyone in the first place. In fact, the attendance rate did not appear to be very high. And maybe 15% of the total?
It’s a shame that not many people come to an event like this. It’s still a computer science department with a lot of people. Is there anyone who wants to get along with everyone in the department?
“Hwimin-senpai!”
okay. there is
A high-pitched sound that hurt my ears greeted me. Even though he did not dare to respond, the owner of the voice came up to the side and sat down.
Looking sideways, I saw Sohye sitting to my right.
That’s right. He said he wanted to make as many friends as possible. You can’t miss this place.
“long time no see! Hwimin-senpai!”
As soon as he noticed his gaze, he greeted me again. As before, the volume was great. while the body is small.
“What a long time ago. We’ve only met once a week.”
“Last semester, we met twice a week even during lectures. Compared to that, it’s been a long time since we met.”
“is it?”
It’s not even a point to dig deep into. I decided to count like that.
“Why are you sitting next to me? It’s better to go and talk to people you don’t know well.”
Sohye smiled softly at the blunt question.
“We are backseat colleagues. In that case, you have to sit next to me.”
“Well.”
It was sophistry itself, but again, there was no reason to banish it. As you can see, the friend didn’t come. The only person I know in the department is Sohye. It would be better to be with Sohye than to be noticeably lonely.
If there’s a problem, it’s that I’m afraid that Si-eun will leak it… … . So-hye is obstructing Si-eun’s view, so she can’t see it.
Well, the purpose of this event is to promote friendship, isn’t it? may i see you
“It’s already happened.”
Sohye smiled softly and said. It was a fight that the feeling was new.
“I know. It’s already two weeks before the exam.”
I thought he had given me an appropriate answer, but somehow Sohye tilted her head. what gesture? When we made eye contact, Sohye gave a small smile.
“Oh, not that. It feels like autumn already.”
“Is that the sound?”
“yes.”
With a bright smile, Sohye continued her speech.
“It was spring when we first met, wasn’t it? When it gets warmer.”
“It did.”
It had been a few days since I hired Si-eun as a housekeeper. Sohye suddenly comes to you when you’re in your midst. For me, it was a daunting feeling.
“I don’t know. Until then, you weren’t that close with Si-eun-senpai, were you?”
“It did.”
“Looks right. When I was doing the group assignment, I didn’t get the feeling that the two of you were close at all.”
“I told you last time. They quarreled and quarreled, and I suffered unilaterally. You said so.”
When I pointed out that it was something I had already heard, Sohye said that she had said it.
“Then the two exchange proposals in the summer. In the fall, we often hang out together on campus. In winter… … I think you’re going to make a promise for the rest of your life. It felt strange!”
“Interesting?”
“It’s amazing. Right now, even just last year, you weren’t close with Si-eun, right? I didn’t even have a face at all.”
“right.”
“But in just one year, the two of them got along like this, and I also became close with the two seniors. Aren’t you curious?”
Sohye raised the corners of her lips as high as possible and said.
I know what kind of story you want to tell. We didn’t even have a face-to-face meeting, so we met by chance and became close quickly. It was kind of strange too.
As she nodded, Sohye brought her face closer and asked.
“But is the news that you are getting married still a secret?”
“What?”
“no. At the beginning of the semester, Si-eun senior told me about marriage. He told me it was a secret, so I kept my mouth shut. But I don’t think there have been any rumors since then. Even if it’s not Si-eun senior, it would be noisy if undergraduates were to marry each other.”
That’s right. Wouldn’t it be noisy at least in everyday time? Moreover, it will be even more so if the subject is Si-eun. There is also the possibility that strange rumors such as speeding will spread.
Yet it is so quiet. It meant only one thing. Si-eun has not yet announced the news of her marriage.
There was a time when I was called ‘Honey’ in front of some girls. Was it taken as an okay joke?
“Anyway, I’m keeping it a secret. I want to chat with other people quickly. Those two are getting married because I connected them, ahem.”
“It’s okay if you don’t talk about marriage.”
“Except for marriage, I already did.”
Is that so?
“Ahaha. Anyway, let me know when you’re ready. You can brag anytime!”
“Well. Because I’m not talking about it.”
“is that so?”
So-hye laughed after that.
“I know. Then I decided to tell Si-eun-senpai. I’ll just go.”
“You want to go?”
“If you keep staying here, you might get scolded by Si-eun.”
“I don’t think I’m going to be scolded if it happens now.”
“Isn’t that a little less annoying though?”
“What.”
“Ahaha. Be careful not to offend your seniors. Then see you next time!”
After saying these words, Sohye waved her hand and left. Maybe he’s going to talk with other people.
It’s still terribly lively. From the first greeting to the last, I felt like I was sucking in the energy. Is this youth? even envious
Thanks to him, I could see Si-eun, who had just been hidden.
Si-eun was sitting there talking to someone as if they had all distributed the snacks. There was no sign of confirming this.
The fact that I had a conversation with So-hye didn’t seem to be caught on Si-eun’s radar. I’m glad I don’t have to be questioned at home.
I’m about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a man on the other side of Si-eun caught my eye.
Tall stature, stout physique. The face is pretty flat too. I remember seeing it for the first time in the classroom. Was it a 4th grade senior who went to the military?
Such a man was talking to Si-eun.
It is something that has to be accepted. Si Eun-eun and student council president. It’s not a very great title, but it’s also not a position for nothing. It is undoubtedly necessary to develop friendships with students and students.
But now I didn’t like it.
It didn’t come from any logic. There was no particular reason to feel that way. It’s normal for Si-eun to talk to other men.
Even so, somehow, I didn’t feel comfortable.
He gets up from his seat and trudges towards Si-eun’s place.
The closer I got, the more clearly I could hear the senior’s laughter and Si-eun’s words.
I finally arrived behind Si-eun’s back, tapped on Si-eun’s shoulder, and put my hand on it.
“uh?”
Si-eun, startled for a moment, turned her head and looked up at me.
It seems that he suddenly wanted someone to touch his body. Si-eun, realizing her identity, sighed in relief. Then Si-eun immediately said, “What? Why?” asked.
It was casual speech.
“just.”
“just?”
“okay.”
“Hmm.”
It makes an ambiguous sound as if something is suspicious. It seemed that Si-eun was very suspicious that I, who was sitting in a distant place, suddenly spoke.
The senior, who had been staring at this scene from afar, opened his mouth with a bitter smile.
“Um, you two are good. Anyway, go ahead.”
“Ah yes. Please go in carefully.”
Si-eun greets you with a business-like smile. Up close, this was evident. It is very different from the sincere expression he always shows at home.
For a moment, this fact was very fortunate.
on the way home. Maple leaves were scattered on the street.
Outsiders began to mix with the people walking around the campus.
Our school, which is free to enter, is often crowded with people who come to see cherry blossoms or autumn leaves every spring and fall. Until last year, that was also somewhat of a dissatisfaction.
Still, it is a waste to show such a beautiful scenery only to the insiders of the school. Seeing you think like this, it seems that I have changed a lot too.
Si-eun seemed to have no intention of doing this good view. The way he walked, looking straight ahead, seemed like he had a big problem.
“What are you thinking about?”
Si-eun turned her eyes away at my question and looked at me. His eyes flew away as if he was trying to read his heart.
After the scan was over, Si-eun headed forward again.
“You mean it.”
“yes.”
“Maybe… … Are you jealous?”

My feet stopped chin.It was an unnatural reaction. There was no difference in answering that he was right. It’s no use now to say no.
“Well, yes.”
Si-eun snorts.
“I had a good conversation with Sohye.”
“saw?”
“Then why didn’t I see it?”
I thought I hadn’t seen it. It seems that Si-eun’s radar is very good. I don’t want to be able to hide anything in the future.
Si-eun smiled and said as she was muttering only to come up with excuses.
“it’s okay. Last time I told you not to talk to women, but honestly, that’s hard, isn’t it? After all, it was where I was, and there were so many eyewitnesses. It’s not like you can’t cheat in public.”
“I wouldn’t smoke even in private.”
“By the way.”
Si-eun didn’t accept my objection, she ripped off another word of luck, and showed a sly smile.
“When he saw me, he said, ‘Are you jealous of me? How should we deal with doing the same thing in the same situation?”
“… … .”
The sound I had brought out to tease Si-eun came back like a boomerang.
I have nothing to say. I’m getting back what I said in the past. There was no excuse for anything. There is only one thing possible in this situation.
“You will understand your heart only when it comes to that situation.”
When I admit it honestly, Si-eun chuckled. This is also my usual reaction. Things have turned around quite a bit.
I think this is what I was thinking about until recently. After the conversation, Si-eun stretched out as if refreshed. “Uh-huh,” I heard a small sound in my ear.
Soon, Si-eun kept a smile on her face.
“Then, so that I don’t get jealous anymore, I have to tell you now.”
“What?”
“What is it? It’s about getting married.”
“ah.”
Isn’t that the story we talked about with Sohye earlier? As expected, it seems that Si-eun has not yet revealed the news of her marriage.
“You haven’t told me yet?”
“I was going to watch the timing, but I missed it. furthermore… … I am ashamed.”
Si-eun’s cheeks seemed to have turned a little red while muttering words. I understand that the word marriage is embarrassing, but it will be a few months from now. Isn’t it time to get used to it?
no, before that.
“Anyway, I’ll be handing out wedding invitations soon anyway. Can’t you talk?”
“So you are talking now.”
“It means that you haven’t been able to do it until now.”
“Because I’m embarrassed… … .”
“Are you ashamed to marry me?”
“It’s not… … !”
Si-eun pouted her lips as she looked at her with a gaze as if she was looking at a cute cat.
Now it’s kind of normal. Seeing Si-eun pouting or shy at my mischievous remarks. I have no intention of bothering Si-eun, but to me, Si-eun at a moment like this looks the cutest.
As I was looking down at Si-eun with joy, Si-eun let out a shuddering sound.
“okay. I will tell you.”
Then he lifted his claws and put his face to it, as if talking in his ear.
“I am now Hwi-min Lee’s wife,” he said.
“… … .”
With a single whisper, my cheeks turned into red lights in an instant.
“Look. Are you ashamed? Your cheeks are red too.”
Si-eun said in a voice drunk with a sense of victory, whether she was happy that she embarrassed me. When a counterattack comes in in the same pattern that I always teased, I get hit the same way. It was literally a boomerang.
But well.

My cheeks are blushing not because I am shy, but because you are so lovely.Well, it wouldn’t be bad to lose to Si-eun once in a while. Let’s assume that today is Si-eun’s victory. From now on, you’ll have to play it again.
“I know.”
He reached out and patted Si-eun’s head, then moved on again.
Then Si-eun came to me with a step by step.
Si-eun, who could be seen at the end of her field of vision, was smiling.
