Preparation (1) : Chapter 139
＜1＞
After the festival was over, we went back to our daily lives.
Not much time has passed, but the final exams are right in front of you.
I can’t believe it. I must have had a fun festival with Gyeol about 3 weeks ago.
Time seemed to pass faster than when I was in high school.
Is it because you are so happy?
Gyeol was still studying hard in the computer room.
As soon as the festival is over, he applied for the seasonal semester and is a really diligent kid.
Seeing them diligently prepare for the future makes me work hard as well.
But I have to eat while eating.
“Gyeol-ah, the meal is ready. Come out and eat.”
I called Gyeol in the kitchen.
With a jerk, the door to the computer room opened and a grain came out.
“Are you done already?”
“Yes. Come and eat.”
As marbled soybean paste stew was placed on the table, Gyeol put the rice in her bowl.
The way Gyeol took out the side dishes from the refrigerator looked very pretty.
“I think Gyeol is really nice.”
“Suddenly?”
“It’s just that you’re so pretty because you’re caring.”
“Pretty for a boyfriend-“
“Do you want me to say that you are cool instead of pretty? Of course it’s cool~”
“Now do you know what I’m going to say?”
“Of course~ We’ve lived together for almost half a year now~”
I sat down on a chair with Gyeol and started eating.
“Isn’t Gyeol studying too much these days? You weren’t just studying at school, were you?”
“Yes. I’m also studying TOEIC and certification at the same time.”
“It’s good to work hard, but isn’t it too much? You applied for the seasonal semester as well.”
“Even Eunha is working hard~ While doing homework on the computer every day.”
“I only applied for the seasonal semester because of my schoolwork and determination, right?”
“That alone is amazing~ I don’t have that many assignments~”
Recently, it seemed like I was pushing myself too hard.
As a girlfriend, I was a little worried.
“How about taking the certification exam later… ?”
“It’s okay~ It’s not that difficult, and it’s a certification you can get after studying for about a month. It’s not too difficult because it’s a qualification related to your major.”
It seemed like Gyeol was trying to reassure me.
“Why are you working so hard? I’m 20, so I can relax a little more.”
“I’m doing this to get married to Eunha quickly~”
“I’m happy to say it, but Gyeol seems to be having a hard time.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Don’t worry~ I won’t overdo it.”
Gyeol stroked my hair.
“I will work hard too..!”
“Eunha is still working hard?”
“Let’s work harder and work hard together to get married!”
“Yes. Be sure to do it~”
“Yes! Come on, eat!”
“I’ll eat well~”
Gyeol took a big spoonful of her rice and ate it.
After eating the stew, she smiled happily and told me it was delicious.
After finishing the meal, I sat with Gyeol on her couch and drank her coffee.
She left the television on, but she wasn’t particularly watching.
Just leaning on Gyeol’s shoulder for a moment.
I love the moment when I can relax with Gyeol like this.
I also like the way he smiles when our eyes meet once in a while.
“Haam~!”
“Gyeol is sleepy? Would you like to take a nap?”
“Um… Is that so? Even though I drank coffee, I feel a little sleepy.”
“Get some sleep, huh? Sleep soon~”
I rubbed my face in Gyeol’s arms.
“Shall we sleep for two hours then?”
“I’ll put you to bed!”
I hurriedly put down the coffee cup and dragged Gyeol into the bedroom.
“Come on! Come on, lie down~”
I made the bed! I called Gyeol-i while knocking.
Gyeol-i smiled once and lay down on the bed.
After covering the blanket, I held Gyeol’s hand.
“Is the galaxy going to sleep too?”
“Hmm? I’m going to watch Gyeol sleep and then do my homework.”
“It’s embarrassing to watch you sleep. What if Eunha is good… “
Gyeol’s eyes slowly closed.
You must be very tired.
“I’ll wake you up in two hours. Sleep in peace~”
“Yes… thank you… Then I’ll sleep a little… “
“I love you. Dream of me.”‘
After Gyeol fell asleep in an instant, I looked at Gyeol’s face for a while.
You’re trying so hard to marry me… I’m sorry that I asked you to marry me too much.
Until now, I was worried that what I said to Gyeol might be burdensome.
I decided to restrain myself a little from now on.
Because I don’t want to burden the person I love.
“I’m sorry and thank you. I love you, Gyeol-ah.”
I couldn’t make Gyeol try so hard, so I got up from the bed too.
First of all, I need to finish my college assignment quickly and cook Gyeol’s favorite salmon for dinner tonight.
I cautiously exited the bedroom and shut the door.
I came into the computer room to do an assignment, but the computer was turned on.
It looks like he was going to finish studying after drinking rice and coffee.
When I moved the mouse, the monitor that had been turned off turned on again.
But as soon as I saw the computer screen, I hesitated for a moment.
My heart felt like it was going down with a thump.
It was sure to happen someday… When she thought that Gyeol was recognizing her army, her heart sank.
She told me before… She said that if she went soon, she was going after the first semester… In fact, even then, she didn’t really care.
I checked the exact enlistment date by moving the mouse wheel, and it was 3 months from now.
If Gyeol applied for this, we would only be together for 3 months.
My head was a little confused.
＜2＞
I ended up sitting in front of the computer and researching this and that for two hours.
After doing some research, it seems that if you have a license in the Air Force, you can be assigned the special skill you want.
Gyeol’s preparation for his license was probably related to the military, right?
I was disturbed at the thought of having a trouble-free daily life.
I tried to find out if there was another way, but the prudent Gyeol must have already figured it out.
Still, I wanted to go after the first year…
“Sorry… “
I’m sorry, but the door suddenly opened.
“Galaxy. Here it is?”
“Ah-!”
“I woke up but it wasn’t there~ I was on an assignment… “
Gyeol came up to me and checked the computer screen.
“Gyeol is… Are you going to the army?”
“Ah- I haven’t decided on this yet-!”
“Did you find out though?”
“Yes. That’s true, but after discussing with Eunha a bit… Is it Eunha?”
“Are you going to join the army… !”
My voice trembled.
And tears fell from my eyes.
“Even though it hasn’t been decided yet~ Why are you crying~”
Gyeol came up to me and hugged me.
As soon as I felt Gyeol’s warmth, more tears burst out.
I must have known… Even though I thought it would happen someday…
Tears burst out incessantly.
“Ahhh-!”
“Ego… !”
I grabbed Gyeol’s collar tightly and didn’t let go.
I don’t want to send it, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
In the end, Gyeol’s clothes were drenched before he could calm down.
“Are you okay now? Sorry. It hasn’t been decided yet, so I didn’t say anything.”
“I heard it was accepted until next week… ?”
“Yes. I was thinking of bringing it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but I haven’t decided yet either.”
“I’m not going too fast… ? Can’t we go after finishing the first year?”
When I asked with a sniffle, Gyeol said.
“To be honest, I don’t want to come out of the army without doing anything. So, I was going to study to become a tax accountant in the military. Usually, there is a first test in June, but if you enlist in September, you will be discharged just at the time of the first test. It will be difficult until the 2nd, but I think I can do my best to study the 1st… But, I haven’t decided yet.”
Gyeol said scratching her head.
As expected, Gyeol thought about everything and figured it out.
She wants to support her, but she couldn’t easily accept it now.
I know it’s my selfishness, but I wanted Gyeol to be by my side more.
I was about to say that I would like to go after the first year, but she continued her words with Gyeol.
“To be honest, I also want to get married to Eunha soon. But as soon as she graduated from college, she thought that if she was going to get married, she still had to have something stable. Both to myself and to others, this is worth getting married to. Should I say that is the basis for doing so?”
I stared at Gyeol’s face.
“That’s why I want to finish my military service as soon as possible.”
“I… Is it because I really want to get married? Am I too agitated..?!”
“Huh?! Not at all~ Rather, I should have had a bigger desire to get married?! I want to quickly live as a sweet couple with such a pretty Eunha~”
Gyeol wiped my eyes.
“I want to have pretty children and go to Gangneung with them. I hope that such a life will come soon and I sincerely hope. I think you will be very happy and your life will be very bright. I’m greedy. When Eunha said she wanted to marry me, I didn’t feel pressured at all. Rather, I was so grateful and excited that Eunha hoped for the same life as mine. Really. Thank you even now for wishing me a life like mine.”
Gyeol’s words warmed her heart.
Her confused mind gradually found stability.
“Me too… I’m also grateful to Gyeol… ! Thank you for liking me and thank you for caring for me! Thank you for wishing for a life like mine! Very! Thank you so much… Love you. I love you so much.”
“I know even if you don’t tell me.”
“You can do whatever you want… ! Me..! I can do everything You can visit Gyeol every week! I can buy you something delicious every time you go on vacation!”
I said with tears in my eyes.
“Thank you. Then stop crying~”
“I can’t help but cry… !”
“Should I give you a hug?”
At Gyeol’s words, I nodded as hard as I could.
“Come here.”
Gyeol opened his arms and I went into it.
“I love you… I love you, Gyeol-ah..!”
“I love you too. Eunha.”
So cute 😭
