Chapter 115: Beginning of Class (4)
＜1＞
Two weeks have passed since I started college life.
Me and Eunha naturally melted into the changed daily life.
– Lee Hangyul. Can I show you my handwritten notes on business school theory?! I couldn’t write because I went to the hospital today.
“That will be in my locker. Uh. No. 76. Take it out from there, copy it, and put it back. Buy a can of coffee.”
-Yes~
I hung up the phone and focused on the galaxy in front of me again.
“Who are you? Motivation?”
“Yes. He said he had been to the hospital and asked for some handwriting. I told you to take it out of the locker on your own.”
“If Hangyul was handwritten, it would be very meticulously organized. One can of coffee?”
I wanted to say that I was a scholar, but I didn’t want to bother Eunha for nothing.
“I just need help when I need it later. Should I go to class soon?”
“Yes…! I want to play with Hanyul a little more~ Do you want to drop by our class?”
“It’s impossible~ I’m going to study at the library and then go to class.”
“Does it end at five? Then I’ll go to the lecture room after class.”
“Okay~ Let’s get up soon. Eunha will be late.”
“Yes~”
After leaving the campus cafe, Eun-ha went away from me to take classes.
You look tired from a lot of assignments lately. Shall we go get some fresh air on the weekend?
Since we live together, we always stick together after dinner, but since we are taking different classes, it definitely feels a bit empty.
In high school, he was the galaxy that sat next to me every day…
“Sorry.”
I saw Eunha going into the school building and headed to the library.
It’s only been two weeks since the semester started, and there are very few new students going to the library.
But I can’t afford to play…
Before I forgot, I had to study TOEIC and prepare for a certificate.
I’m going to spend my 20s while living in college, and next year I’ll be in the army.
The time to return to school is probably twenty-three, sophomore year.
On the other hand, at that time, Eun-ha was in her 4th year, about to graduate.
Even if Eunha gets a job, she will be a student for two years, and considering getting a job, her age may increase.

It is my personal opinion, but the difference between an office worker and a college student is bigger than I thought.
Both the economic conditions and the differences in daily life…
Therefore, it is better to prepare to find a job as soon as possible.
Should I meet the requirements for early graduation as I enter the summer semester?
Should I do volunteer work in advance?
Once I started thinking, I bit my tail and eventually continued until class time approached.
When I arrived at the lecture room, Seunghun was taking my seat.
“Lee Hangyul. I have a seat here.”
“Thank you. But why are you guys the way you are?”
“Don’t even talk… I drank until 5:00 in the morning yesterday. I think I’m going to die.”
“Keep it off…Lee Hangyul. If you were there, I would have eaten a little less.”
Seunghoon and Jaehyun, who were sitting next to me, were attending drinking parties every day, saying they would alleviate the resentment of the recent students.
Well, if it were a normal freshman, it would be Seunghoon and Jaehyun.
Am I a bit of a freak when I quietly go to the library? It’s a feeling.
“Then I must have been down with you guys.”
I answered as I took out a writing instrument from my bag.
“The kids are right. Hangyul Lee. Why don’t you ever drink with us?”
“What is it? Were you there?”
“Why don’t you give me some attention?! Was it there from the beginning?”
The girl sitting in the seat in front of me is a girl named Jeong Chae-in.
She’s the one I saw at lunch on the first day, the one who constantly drank from across from me at the opening party.
She has a cheerful and confident personality, and she already had a good reputation in the department.
“Did you put my print in the locker?”
“Of course not. Oh right. I decided to have a drink with my seniors after school today, but you should come too. Seunghun and Jaehyun are also leaving.”
“Can’t you see the kids dying? What kind of drinks are you drinking with these kids?”
I said looking at Seunghun and Jaehyun.
“Then what should I ask? Are you going out for a drink?”
They were the guys who quietly lifted the OK sign while lying face down on their desks.
Crazy. My liver will rot
“Okay, the kids are great. Lee Hangyul, come too.”
“Sorry. I don’t really like drinking parties, and the next day I had a really bad hangover.”
“Hmm- Then I’ll give you a black rose, so come. Believe me. Have a good drink!”
“Okay. I’m not the type to enjoy places with a lot of people.”
“You didn’t even come to MT.”
“It was for the same reason.”
She kept refusing, but it seemed that if she refused any more, she would feel left out.
Still, I said Eunha will come pick me up after class, so today is impossible.
“I can’t do it today because I have a prior appointment. Can’t it be next Wednesday? It will be fine then.”
“Oh-! Are you responsible for that?! Then let’s have a drink with my classmates on Wednesday.”
“So what?”
Do you think Eunha is okay?
＜2＞
“Then, I’ll end today’s class here. I had a hard time.”
As soon as the three-hour lecture was over, I rushed out of the classroom.
I was trying to contact Eunha by cell phone right away, but Eunha was sitting on a table chair in front of the vending machine.
He looked for me among the students, and as soon as he met my eyes, he smiled.
I was about to walk to Eunha, but Jung Chaeyeon stood in my way.
“Lee Hangyul-! I forgot to give you the canned coffee I was supposed to buy you earlier.”
Then he handed me a can of coffee and walked outside.
Now that I received a can of coffee from my classmate in front of my girlfriend… Is this a good situation?
Come to think of it, I didn’t say that the girl who lent the print earlier was a girl.
Eunha, who was sitting on a chair at the table, was not looking at me, but at Chaeyeon Jeong.
This is scolded.
“It’s a galaxy.”
“Ah- yeah! I had a hard time taking classes.”
“No~ Shall we go back soon?”
I tried to pass the situation casually.
However, it was a galaxy staring at the canned coffee in my hand.
“Was the girl you lent the print to?”
“Ah- yes. I didn’t say that.”
“Ah~ I care about things like that. Let’s go.”
I was on my way to my room after leaving school with Eunha.
Judging from the fact that he doesn’t talk today, he seems to be nervous.
When you go home, what kind of conversation do you usually go home with?
Why is it that I can’t think of anything when I try to bring it up?
Before the galaxy starts talking, I’m far-
“By the way, are you very close with that girl?”
Eventually, some cool words leaked from Eunha’s mouth.
“That’s not really close… But are there any kids in that department who are really close? About that much?”
“I see. I’m sorry for asking something wrong. It’s just a girl I don’t know, so I’m curious about what kind of relationship it is… hahahaha! What do you want to eat for dinner tonight? Shall we eat soft tofu stew after going to the mart and buying soft tofu? Or kimchi stew?”
Eunha is a more rational person than I thought.
She may appear to be an emotional person on the outside, but she has a fairly cool judgment.
When he judges something right or wrong, he tends to think that objective facts are the correct answer rather than his feelings.
I think that’s the same as me, but I try to maintain that kind of objectivity even in a romantic relationship.
It still is.
It’s hard to find a woman who doesn’t have any thoughts about the situation.
I too would think ‘what is it?’ If someone gave Eunha a can of coffee.
However, from an objective point of view, it is nothing more and nothing less than ‘return for lending a print’.
Because she is just that, she puts aside her subjective feelings and apologizes, saying that she asked for nothing.
She might as well just be honest. She seems to be hiding her feelings a little lately.
“Sometimes I think about it, but she seems like a pretty rational person.”
“Hmm?! I?! Okay···?! Her mother used to nag her sometimes for being a jerk…!”
“Hmm… She may feel that way from the outside, but looking at the situation is a very sober feeling.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“That’s good. But does she really need to do that in a romantic relationship? You can be a little more honest.”
As I quietly pushed her face in, Eunha took a step back from her and said.
“Yeah, but…! Didn’t that girl just repay Han Gyeol? It’s barely enough for me to say anything about it…!”
“I thought so too. But I think Eunha will get a little worried if someone gives her canned coffee. Isn’t Eunha like that too? Is it my delusion?”
It’s a bit funny to talk about me after receiving a can of coffee, but… I’d better finish this story.
“No, of course it bothers me, but…!”
“I don’t think you need to be too objective in a romantic relationship. In the first place, lovers are emotional relationships, right? So, you can talk about your Galactic feelings a little more properly.”
After thinking about my words for a while, she said.
“Really…?”
“Yes. She used to talk so easily, but lately why does she keep trying to hide her feelings?”
“That, that is-!”
“Yes. Say it.”
Eun-ha hesitated, then looked straight into my eyes and said.
“Anyway, I think I have a huge desire for Gyeol. Since Han Kyul isn’t by her side, she keeps wanting to see and contact her. I didn’t know when they were always attached… But I was a little worried that it would go to the level of an obsession once we were separated… So I thought I should control myself.”
“Ah~ What kind of obsession is Eunha? Even if you feel that way, I will tell you properly.”
“Really…? But Gyeol is kind, so I think I just have to understand and move on.”
That is the correct answer. In fact, it is very likely that galaxies behaved that way if they did.
The galaxy even sees through my personality.
“…I was stabbed because you didn’t talk?!”
“Um…! But since I said it now, I’ll say it properly. If you feel that way, I will tell you properly, so Eunha just be honest.”
“Really…?”
“Yes.”
“Really really serious…? Won’t you hate me?”
“I never hate Eunha.”
After thinking about my words for a while, Eunha opened her mouth.
And then he spat out the words that had accumulated in his heart like a rapid-fire cannon.
“Don’t get along too well with other girls…! I can’t do anything with a girl alone! Please don’t create a moment when other girls see Hangyul and think he’s cool. I’m not asking you to act badly, but…Don’t go out of your way to help me. I hope no one falls in love with Gyeol’s kindness. Lending a print is fine, but nothing more than a can of coffee in return…”
“Is it okay for the kids to play together? Drinking alcohol…!”
“It’s okay when boys are mixed…! Instead, Hangyul will play the black knight! You can’t take a girl home because she’s drunk! If a girl needs help, call me!”
“Okay~ Thanks for being honest. Tell me in advance.”
I laughed and pulled Eunha’s cheek.
“The most important thing still remains.”
“What is it?”
“Since I can’t do skinship at school… Please do more skinship at home…!”
Very cute
