If I had to choose the most difficult period while attending college, it would definitely be the exam period.

If you just walk around the university, going from classroom to classroom, you can see students whispering and talking about various things about the exam.

This is the period when the bamboo forest is also very active.

“Haam.”

I was also busy studying for the midterm exam.

There was an inconvenient part.

‘At times like this, I should have had some friends.’

It was a bit disappointing that there was no one who could obtain a genealogy of the river.

In her first semester, she remembers that her ex-girlfriend, Oh Yun-ji, helped her study hard for her exams by getting some help from somewhere.

But since there is no such thing this time, I have to do better on my own.

‘Ah, what was the scope of this?’

The important thing is that I did not properly check the scope of the test. But I couldn’t see this as just my problem.

I missed the lecture at 9 a.m. on Tuesday because of Choi Yi-seo and Seo Ye-rin.

Originally, I would have contacted Choi Yi-seo, who is easy to talk to, but recently my relationship with Choi Yi-seo has been ambiguous.

Should I say that I feel like he is blatantly avoiding me?

‘What on earth happened at the gym?’

Anyway, it’s clear that something happened.

I even thought about trying to talk to him again, citing the fact that it was exam period.

No matter what, I wanted to stay still and avoid strange misunderstandings accumulating.

Since he may be attending a lecture right now, I decided to contact him later.

I was passing by the English Language and Literature department office to eat the kimbap I bought at a convenience store in the classroom where the next lecture was held.

Boxes were piled up in front of her and Choi Yi-seo, sighing awkwardly, was tapping on her cell phone.

“What are you doing?”

“Hi!”

She probably didn’t see me coming, but when I spoke to her, she shrugged her shoulders in surprise. Her reaction is funny, but she tilts her head as she looks towards her luggage.

“What is this?”

“The professor said he brought something that could be used at the festival this time.”

“The professor brought something useful from the festival?”

“Well, do you have any souvenirs you bought while traveling? “If you have a street vendor, you should hang it up.”

“Wow, you are so generous.”

Thanks to this, it will become a street bar with a unique atmosphere. There’s no such thing as an Indian doll or a strange mask, right?

“So, I need to put this in the department warehouse. “I was gathering people because of that.”

“Oh, I see.”

I nod my head and slowly take my feet away.

Until now, I definitely thought I should have a conversation with Choi Yi-seo, but that has changed now.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad thing to keep your distance.’

I shake her hand thinking that if I become friends with the manager, I might end up doing a lot of useless things.

“I see. cheer up.”

Naturally, I went to the vending machine and bought some juice to drink.

Tup.

Choi Yi-seo’s hand is placed on her shoulder and she quietly murmurs.

“Secure one.”

“… … “Let go of this.”

“Kim Woo-jin, Class of ’23, Department of English Language and Literature.”

“I haven’t even eaten yet.”

“It’s a coincidence, I didn’t eat either.”

Looking at Choi Yi-seo, who is expressing her determination to never let go, I sigh and bring up the bitterness between us.

“You didn’t even talk to me.”

“Tsk.”

“You only call me this when I need to?”

At my words, Yiseo Choi lowers her hand and hesitates. She seemed to be aware of what she had done so far.

“I didn’t do that on purpose. “I just needed time to organize my thoughts.”

Time to organize your thoughts?

It meant that there really was something.

“Well, shall we move on and talk about this first? If it’s okay, let’s have lunch… … .”

“Ugh, go inside and pull out a list of English students.”

“huh?”

“hurry.”

Isn’t it a waste of time to wait for people to do this? However, it is too much for Choi Yi-seo and I to move.

Choi Yi-seo pulls out a list from the office and I place a pen on it.

“The professor asked me to do this in the group chat room, and as I passed by, he sent me one by one to move it to the warehouse. “The person who moved must sign the list.”

“Will the kids move if I do that?”

It wasn’t a very encouraging reaction, though.

“The professor added that he will check the list later.”

Of course, kids who are sensitive about grades will do it, and even kids who don’t have good grades will do it once in a while if they remember it while passing by just to make a mark.

Especially during exam periods like now.

“… … “You probably won’t check.”

“What does that matter?”

When I told her that I would send it if it was inconvenient, Yi-seo Choi shook her hand and left a message in a group chat with her.

“Let’s put this in the box and let the teaching assistant see it. “Because a strange person might just sign and leave.”

If you do this, there will be no problem.

After signing autographs for me and Choi Yi-seo, I pick up the lightest looking box.

“let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Choi Yi-seo looks a little puzzled, perhaps because it was solved more easily than expected.

After moving my luggage, I went to a convenience store and went back to the classroom, but half of my luggage had already been moved.

Even though we weren’t taking the same lecture, Choi Yi-seo came to the empty classroom with me out of consideration.

She was looking down at the chicken breast salad she bought at the convenience store and thinking about what to say.

To be honest, ever since she bought the chicken breast salad, all she had thought was that he was really crazy about working out.

“You’re addicted to exercise at that level.”

“uh?”

Choi Yi-seo was taken aback, probably not knowing that I would speak first.

“I’m going to eat chicken breast salad and have something similar for dinner. “I’m not even fat, so why do I have to do that?”

When I shrugged and asked her if she was obsessed at this level, Yiseo Choi looked at me blankly and then slowly raised the corner of her mouth.

“You do some exercise too. Lately, you haven’t even run because I didn’t call you, right?”

“Going out and running alone wasn’t as easy as I thought.”

It was quite meaningful to have this kind of conversation after a long time.

The fact that we were continuing the conversation while bickering comfortably made it feel as if there had never been a moment’s gap between us.

While we were continuing the conversation like that.

“Whoa.”

At a slight pause in the conversation, Choi Yi-seo exhaled her breath, steeled her resolve, and tried to ask me.

“… … If the.”

When I looked at her face, I realized that it was difficult for her to speak. She turned slightly and asked.

“If the?”

“Some woman… … “If I ask you to go to a hotel with me, will you go?”

“… … what?”

Now, what did I hear?

She blinked and looked at Choi Yi-seo, but her face was already blushing and she was lowering her head.

However, since she has already said her words, she continues without stopping.

“Uh, some female friend. “If they suddenly ask you to go to a hotel, will you go?”

“wait for a sec. Is going to a hotel what I think it means? It’s not like you go and eat a buffet… … .”

As I continue my conversation, Iseo Choi slightly nods her head.

“her.”

So, it means having sexual intercourse.

“Let’s go to the hotel together?”

When I ask while tilting my head out of curiosity, Yiseo Choi is startled and screams.

“Oh, no! I’m not asking you to go! If the! “What are you going to do if someone does that?”

“… … “What, I thought you were tempting me.”

“Are you crazy!?”

Choi Yi-seo slams the desk and denies it. Her face is hot, and she is slightly worried as she fans herself with her hand to cool off the heat.

“Let’s check one thing first. This question is important right now, right? “Is that why you were acting strange to me?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I don’t know what led to this question and why it was such a concern.

Anyway, if Choi Yi-seo has been worried about this for several days, it would be right for me to give a serious answer in my own way.

“Hmm.”

I rested my chin on Choi Yi-seo’s gaze as she stared at me.

There is not enough information.

“Is your girlfriend pretty?”

“…….”

It was Choi Yi-seo who momentarily frowned at her and glared at her with an expression of disgust.

“pretty.”

Anyway, I will give you the answer.

“It’s really pretty too.”

“A really pretty girl suddenly asked me to go to a hotel? “Isn’t this a scam or a pseudo-religion or something?”

“It’s not like that… … girl?”

That’s right.

She nods her head with a serious expression.

“Where is he?”

“huh?”

“I have to go right now. Wow, I’m excited.”

“…….”

“I have to pay for the hotel. They say it’s so pretty. It’s been a while since I didn’t have a girlfriend… … .”

Wow!

Choi Yi-seo’s fist swung straight away.

But this time she was expecting it and was able to block it with her palm.

“haha! “It’s obvious.”

“profit!”

After yelling at her again and again, Choi Yi-seo, exhausted, huffs and asks again.

“Are you really going? “You’re not even my girlfriend?!”

“Then one night stand? Or will it become something like a sex partner?”

“Yeah, right!”

Choi Yi-seo seemed to have hit the nail on the head, but was taken aback but agreed.

I don’t know what kind of answer she wants.

“I have to go. “I have to skip the lecture.”

“…….”

“Not all men are like this, but maybe most are? A really pretty girl is tempting me. “For now, I will definitely go.”

“…….”

“If I had a girlfriend, of course I would refuse, but that’s not the case.”

Is it because I answered my own question seriously? At first, Choi Yi-seo looked at me with disgust while huffing and puffing, but her expression gradually turned serious.

“Yeah, I see.”

Choi Yi-seo, who seemed to be certain about something now, also looked a little sad.

“Thank you for your honest answer.”

The sight of her clenching her fists felt pitiful, so I wondered why she was doing that.

“Now explain to me. “Why are you asking this question now?”

“ha.”

Looking at Choi Yi-seo, who is unable to answer her, she shrugs her shoulders.

“You really don’t want to go to the hotel with me, do you? “Turn on Yanolja?”

“I said no!”

“Sweet, Kabbi.”

“This shit… … !”

In the end, Choi Yi-seo, unable to overcome her shame, stood up with her fist raised.

I also held up both hands to block, and as each blow was struck, Choi Yi-seo’s strength gradually weakened.

Before I knew it, he put his hand on my arm, which was blocking me.

“With Yerin… … .”

She asked in a hushed voice.

“Is it true that we have sex?”

…….

………….

……………….

“Me?”

“Yes”

After sighing, I quickly got up from my seat.

“Then can I go to the hotel with Seo Ye-rin?”

As soon as he asked seriously, Choi Yi-seo’s fist started pounding again.
