Chapter 129: Travel (2)

“Hey, did you pass the Lee Hangyul exam?”
“The theory of economic principles was quite difficult. How was it for you?”
“Haa…! I think I made a mistake in choosing my major. It was really difficult.”
“It looks like it was difficult for everyone. Are there any exams left?”
“No. It’s over. Seung-hoon must have some time left for the Marketing Principles exam? Do you want to drink together after he finishes his exam?”
Jaehyun suggested it, but I had no choice but to refuse.
“I’m sorry. I have an appointment with my girlfriend today, so it’s impossible.”
“Actually, I thought it would. Let’s have a drink next week. Seunghun is also involved.”
“Yes. I had a hard time taking the test. I have an appointment, so I’ll go first.”
“Hey~ have fun~”
After the conversation with Seunghoon, I headed to the academy where Eunha was located.
Sitting on the bench in front of the academy, I waited for Eunha while thinking about the exams I took today.
‘I think I saw it well, but can I get a scholarship?’
I forgot all about studying for the CSAT, so I had to prepare from scratch, but studying for my major was different.
A good result was expected because the things I had learned in my previous life were miraculously still in my head.
I didn’t know because I was busy studying for the CSAT in high school, but it’s definitely nice to be younger.
Having to go back to the military is like the world collapsing right away, but I can’t help it.
Since I have become young after a long time, I was thinking of hurrying up and preparing for a job.
I thought it would be nice to pick up CFP, AFRK, or investment asset management companies when I was young.
Or at a young age, I wanted to start studying professionally sooner rather than later.
Since some of them overlap with college subjects, I think it’s worth preparing for the first round.
Is it best to pass the 1st round and prepare for the 2nd round right around the time you are discharged?
Then, you get the qualification right before graduating from college.
I wanted to prepare as soon as possible because I had suffered a lot while preparing for a job.
I thought I had worked hard in my previous life, but I had a hard time because I didn’t know much about the job market.
Now that I am 20 years old, it is best to widen the gap with my competitors.
You have to take credit for the scholarship, and you can prepare for external activities after you are discharged, right?
Then, wouldn’t it be better to get a license and prepare a little bit for language study before that?
I should take the TOEIC test before starting the second semester.
“Gyeolah~!”
“Hmm?!”
I caught my eye on the galaxy running out of the academy building.
I saw Eunha smiling brightly and got up from the bench.
“Gyeol-ah, let’s go to Gangneung!”
Eunha came in front of me and looked at me with bright eyes.
“Why are you so excited? Exam?”
“Huh?! Thinking it’s over anyway, what are you doing? Let’s go.”
“I still have a lot of time~ I have to go home and pack my things. Ruler-“
When I reached out my hand, Eunha smiled and interlocked her hands.
From noble mtl dot com
“I had a lot of trouble taking the test.”
“Gyeol also worked hard~ Ah, the kids introduced me to several restaurants in Gangneung.”
“Oh- yeah? Let’s go.”
“I love going on a trip with Gyeol. I think it will be a lot of fun.”
“If the plan is perfect, there is no choice but to have fun~”
“Right. Let’s hurry-!”
Returning home, we packed our bags and left.
After arriving at Cheongnyangni Station by taxi, we reconfirmed our schedule while drinking coffee with Croque Monsieur at a cafe.
I checked the check-in time of the accommodation properly and prepared a plan B to prepare for any unexpected situations during the schedule.
The weather was fine and our first trip was going smoothly.
“Gyeol-ah~ Look at me too~”
“Huh? Ah- I thought you were looking at your phone.”
“It’s okay since we’ve already made enough plans~ Now let’s go at our leisure.”
Eunha smiled and put her hand on top of mine.
He moved his fingers around on the back of his hand, drawing my attention.
“Okay~”
“I have a plan too, but Gyeol is thorough.”
“Because I tend to hate thinking about unexpected things.”
“Really? I think it would be fun to go on a trip and even if unexpected things happen~ I’m with Gyeol!”
The galaxy stared into my eyes and shook his head from side to side.
He also stirred his feet and patted my leg.
“Sure. Did I think too much of the plan?”
“I like Gyeol-i because he is handsome and s*xy.”
“You spit embarrassing words right away. I like Eunha too.”
“Gyeol-ah. Where shall we go on our summer vacation?”
“Shall we go to the indoor swimming pool? I want to see you in a swimsuit.”
“What~? It gets sour~”
The smiling Eunha was so lovely.
“I want to see you because you are pretty.”
“Yes. Let’s go to the pool again in summer. Grab a cool place to rest~”
“When the time comes, let’s go to Jeju Island.”
“Yes! Let’s make more memories-!”
“The train will come in soon. Let’s go in.”
“Yes~”
Eunha and I left the cafe and headed to the train station.
A KTX came in from afar and I got on the train right away.
“Is it because it’s Friday lunchtime? Are there not many people?”
“It will be full of people in the evening, right? Give me the load I’ll put it up.”
I put my luggage on the luggage compartment above the seat and put Eunha’s luggage on it.
“Thank you~”
“Tell me if you have anything to take out.”
“Yes! Come on, let’s sit down.”
After we sat down, Eunha showed us restaurants on her cell phone.
“Yuri said that this kalguksu restaurant is delicious! Would you like to go?”
“Can you eat the whole galaxy? Does it look like a lot?”
“It’s okay~ I eat very well! Since I’m traveling, I have to eat a lot of delicious things. Ah-! And here! This place is famous for gelato, would you like to try it? It wasn’t that far from the accommodation.”
“Then~ I can go when I pray in between.”
The excited Eunha was so cute.
“Gyeol-ah. I’m already so happy What do we do?”
“How about it~ We can go and have fun.”
“Yes! Thanks for traveling with me.”
“I am more grateful~”
Why are you so adorable?
“Does it take an hour and a half to get there?”
“Yes. The accommodation is just a short walk from Gangneung Station.”
“Yes. What does Gyeol usually do on the train? Are you sleeping?”
“I tend to sleep after looking out the window. What about the galaxy?”
“Then I want to see Han Kyul sleeping. Come on.”
“You can’t fall asleep right away like that.”
“I’ll lend you my shoulder.”
Eunha quietly offered her shoulder.
I tried tilting her neck, but the height wasn’t right and it was slightly uncomfortable.
“How is it? Are you comfortable?”
“Is it cramped?”
“You can only use Gyeol instead.”
“That’s right~ But it smells really good.”
“Isn’t there a separate diffuser?”
“What is that?”
Unknowingly, I burst into laughter at Eunha’s joke.
It’s not the usual tension.
“Since I gave up my shoulder, Gyeol should hold my hand.”
“Wasn’t it a free service?”
“Where in the world is there anything for free? Give it to me quickly.”
Eunha spread her palms so I put my fists on top.
“You can’t catch me like this. Open your fists quickly.”
“Let go~”
Eun-ha struggled to open her fist.
Perhaps it was impossible with one hand, I eventually turned around and opened my fist with both hands.
Eun-ha, who held my hand tightly, smiled and offered his shoulder again.
“Gyeol-ah. What shall we go and do?”
“I’m going to be hungry, so wouldn’t it be better to eat first? Shall we go from the central market?”
“I like it~ I have a lot of time, so let’s walk around a bit on the first day and go out to have fun starting tomorrow.”
“What to eat at Gangneung Market?”
“Just follow me. I’ve carefully selected things that Gyeol will like. Wanna see?”
Eunha showed me the screen of her cell phone.

My mouth kept going up when I saw the densely written menus.
“When did you find out like this?”
“I checked it every time I thought of it~”
It’s so cute I’m dying.
I didn’t expect you to expect this much.
“It’s fun~ So, shall we start with kalguksu and then go eat the rest?”
“Yes! Good. Then, shall we eat sweet and sour chicken for dinner?! It’s a bit too much to eat right after eating.”
“Then~ What else did you find out?”
“A gelato restaurant, a cafe to go to, etc.”
“The trip will end after eating.”
“I also looked for grilled clams and raw fish restaurants to go to at night! Of course, I have only selected places with good reviews, so don’t worry and just follow me.”
Eunha who told me to believe in herself looked so cute.
I was holding back my laughter because I was on the train, but it was impossible any longer.
“Pu-sup…!”
“Why, why are you laughing?”
“Sorry. Eunha is so cute right now… I can’t stand it.”
“My, what did I do to make you cute?”
“Ah, it’s so cute. Why are you so cute?”
I pushed my face further into Eunha’s shoulder.
“I really like it.”
“Why are you cute?”
“Everything is just cute. Did you want to go on a trip like that? I don’t know how I’ve endured it until now~ Anyone who sees it will know that I’m a kid. Let’s go further next time. Make me happy even then, okay?”
When I teased her, Eunha looked embarrassed.
Her face blushed as if she realized now that she was very excited.
“Oh, isn’t it? You know I’m Anne…?!”
“Everyone can see that you are a child~”
Ah- I think it will be a fun trip.
“Don’t tease me…!”
