HEY, THIS GUY NAMED KWON BEOMJU IS REALLY FAMOUS.
I GUESS HIS NICKNAME IS KWON INCHEON.
COUGH
COUGH
OH, THAT STARTLED ME.
ANOTHER COMMENT WAS JUST POSTED.
I found my ideal type in the classroom today, lol. Are there usually very handsome guys in the philosophy department?
anonymous 1 ...what do you think?
ANONYMOUS [OP] They are the only person in that philosophy department T_T No joke, seriously I've fallen in love;
Anonymous 2 Lmao Try Coming To The Humanities Building Sometime, Fr Super Fast...
"PLEASE TRANSFER TO THE COLLEGE OF MUSIC, OPPA (T.T)" ...IT SAYS?
No, why would he...
HE IS HANDSOME, BUT EVERYONE IS OVERREACTING SO MUCH... DID HE PAY THEM? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
THIS WASN'T JUST POSTED TODAY, THERE ARE SEVERAL POSTS FROM BEFORE TOO.
He really is famous.
Anonymous Tall And Handsome, His Halo Is Crazy Even From 100m Away Shivers
Anonymous Just Looking At Him Is So Reasonable He's Like Comfort Food.
Anonymous His Physique And Manly Energy Are Insane...
HE'S THE TYPE WHERE DEMAND IS HIGH BUT SUPPLY IS NONEXISTENT.
WHAT DID THAT COMMENT EARLIER SAY?
RIGHT, BECAUSE HE HAS THAT "RUGGED CHARM."
R-RUGGED...?
BUT WHAT KIND OF CREEPY COINCIDENCE IS THIS?
I THOUGHT WE'D JUST SEE EACH OTHER ONCE AND THAT WOULD BE IT, BUT WE'RE MEETING AGAIN LIKE THIS?
At this point, isn't it destiny sent from heaven?!
IT'S NOT THAT HE HATES ME...?
WHAT DO I DO? THE PROFESSOR SAID GROUP CHANGES ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED,
Just do it.
AND IT'S AN ELECTIVE I BARELY MANAGED TO GET, SO IT'D BE HARD TO CHANGE MY SCHEDULE...
IT IS MY FAULT FOR RUNNING AWAY WITHOUT A WORD, BUT STILL...
HEY, I TOLD YOU I STILL DON'T FEEL ANYTHING, RIGHT?
I... I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
REALLY?
SHOULD I GO FURTHER?
GO...
...FURTHER?
...IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING REALLY BAD WOULD HAPPEN IF I STAYED ANY LONGER! Plus, it was your first time meeting, so it's understandable that you were scared T__T
ANYWAY, SINCE I EVEN DELETED THE APP AND CUT OFF ALL CONTACT,
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT JEMULPO PUPPY WOULD BE MAD FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE.
...I GUESS APOLOGIZING IS THE ONLY ANSWER.
MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S EARLY SPRING, IT'S STILL A BIT CHILLY.
Did the professor contact you again?
JUST NOW.
I'll head in first.
Ah, okay!
NAHI LEFT WITHOUT EVEN EATING LUNCH PROPERLY, I WONDER IF SHE'LL BE OKAY?
THERE'S STILL SOME TIME BEFORE CLASS,
SHOULD I GO BUY HER SOMETHING FROM THE CAMPUS STORE...
I SHOULD ASK HER WHAT SHE WANTS TO EAT.
POP
AH, COLD...
HEY, YOU STARTLED ME SO MUCH I ALMOST PASSED OUT!
JUST FROM THIS? ANYWAY, YOU'RE SUCH A SCAREDY-CAT.
I WAS PASSING BY AND WAS GLAD TO SEE YOU, THAT'S WHY.
HERE, DRINK THIS.
THANKS... I'LL ENJOY IT.
IT'S PEACH TIME.
I DEFINITELY TOLD HIM I HATED THIS BEFORE...
Ah, he could have forgotten.
WHERE DID YOUR FRIEND GO? ARE YOU ALONE?
AH, NAHI? THE PROFESSOR CALLED HER SO SHE WENT AHEAD.
OUR NEXT CLASS IS AT JINRI HALL ANYWAY, SO WE DECIDED TO MEET THERE.
LET'S GO TOGETHER THEN. I'M ON MY WAY TO THE CENTRAL LIBRARY TOO.
IT WAS JUST PLAYFULLY, BUT WE USED TO HOLD HANDS SOMETIMES IN THE PAST...
...WHAT AM I THINKING RIGHT NOW?
SEUNGJO HAS A GIRLFRIEND, SO OF COURSE YOU CAN'T. GET IT TOGETHER, JIUM.
LET'S GET USED TO IT, PLEASE...
BY THE WAY, DID YOU NOT GO DOWN TO CHEONAN DURING THE BREAK?
HUH? AH... YEAH.
I WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHOSE HOUSE TO GO TO...
AND EVEN IF I DID GO, THEY WOULDN'T REALLY BE HAPPY TO SEE ME...
MY PARENTS HATED EACH OTHER AND FOUGHT CONSTANTLY FROM THE TIME I WAS BORN UNTIL I ENTERED COLLEGE.
THE YEAR BEFORE LAST, WHEN ALL MY GRANDPARENTS FROM BOTH SIDES PASSED AWAY,
JIUM, ONCE THE FUNERALS ARE OVER, YOUR MOM AND I ARE GOING TO FILE FOR A MUTUAL DIVORCE.
YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP NOW, SO YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, RIGHT?
MY PARENTS DIVORCED AS IF THEY HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THE CHANCE.
BOTH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY MOVED IN WITH THE PARTNERS THEY HAD BEEN HAVING AFFAIRS WITH,
AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE HOME I COULD RETURN TO DISAPPEARED.
THEY'RE STILL SO HARSH.
AH, NO! I ACTUALLY PREFERRED IT.
IT'S MORE COMFORTABLE FOR MY PEACE OF MIND TOO.
STILL, DON'T YOU MISS WHEN YOU LIVED IN CHEONAN?
THERE ARE SO MANY PLACES WE USED TO HANG OUT AT...
IF YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO ALONE, LET'S GO DOWN TOGETHER THIS SEMESTER.
WE CAN VISIT BUGIL HIGH SCHOOL TOO.
AH, YEAH. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN TO THE SCHOOL.
IT'S BEEN ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW.
IT FEELS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY, BUT IT'S ALREADY BEEN THAT LONG?
DURING HIGH SCHOOL...
YOU WERE REALLY CUTE BACK THEN, JIUM.
?!?!
W-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ALL OF A SUDDEN...
You used to smile a lot back then. You barely smile for me these days.
WELL, THAT'S BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY FUNNY THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN HIGH SCHOOL!
D-DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE GOT CAUGHT AT THE PC CAFE? DOOLY PC CAFE.
OF COURSE. WE HID LIKE OUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT, BUT WE STILL GOT CAUGHT IN THE END.
WE ENDED UP HAVING TO WRITE LINES AS PUNISHMENT.
RIGHT, WE DID. GOOD MEMORIES.
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WE ARRIVED BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PAST.
IT FEELS A BIT SAD TO PART WAYS LIKE THIS...
SEUNGJO, I SHOULD GET GOING... OH.
YOU HAVE A PETAL IN YOUR HAIR, SEUNGJO.
HERE?
NO, NO. HIGHER UP.
THEN HERE?
NO, NOT THERE...
I CAN'T SEE IT, SO YOU TAKE IT OFF FOR ME.
DID YOU GET IT?
I-I GOT IT...!
IT WAS SO SMALL, IT WAS HARD TO GRAB. UM, YOU SHOULD GO NOW.
YEAH, I'LL GET GOING. HAVE A GOOD CLASS.
YEAH, YEAH. SEE YOU.
OH RIGHT. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS THIS WEEKEND, RIGHT?
EITHER THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.
THE WEEKEND? WHAT IS IT?
IT'S NOTHING BIG, HANA JUST REALLY WANTS TO SEE YOU.
PLEASE MAKE SOME TIME.
SINCE I TOLD HER YOU’RE MY CLOSEST FRIEND, SHE SAID SHE WANTS TO MEET YOU SOON.
I GOT PESTERED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY TOO, YOU KNOW?
LATER...
I’M GOING TO LOOK FOR A NEW PART-TIME JOB SOON, SO I DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME...
DON’T FEEL PRESSURED. I ALREADY TOLD HER YOU’RE REALLY SHY AROUND NEW PEOPLE.
...YEAH, OF COURSE I SHOULD MEET HER.
BUT, LATER. I DON’T THINK I CAN RIGHT NOW.
ALRIGHT. HANA HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY, SO DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH.
OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T BEAR TO WATCH THIS EVEN WITH MY EYES CLOSED...!
I'M WIDE AWAKE NOW.
...WAIT, WHY IS HE SHOWING UP HERE?!
This chapter shows Kwon Beomju being famous on campus, talked about in anonymous posts for his handsomeness and tough charm. Then Jium walks across campus with Seungjo; he buys her a drink, and they talk about his past in Cheonan, his divorced family, and high school memories. They share a close moment when he picks a petal from her hair. Seungjo wants her to meet his girlfriend Hana, and Jium puts it off. The chapter ends with a surprising encounter.
