episode_0039

The evening became dark.

Teacher Baek Arin was tired.

Of course I was tired too.

Movement from morning to evening.

A short and intense hike there.

It gave us a lot more physical effort than expected.

Teacher Baek A-rin seemed to be trying hard not to sleep, but she could not avoid sleep because she had already exhausted a lot of her stamina at Seongsan Ilchulbong.

While dozing off, he lowers his head sharply and wakes up in surprise.

“Uh…uhhh!!”

Teacher Baek A-rin, who looks around, is quite cute.

“Seo… I’m sorry, senior. Senior, I fell asleep in the passenger seat while you were driving… I’m really sorry.”

Her voice sounded half-asleep.

As long as she’s less distracted, her behavior is quite cute.

Although she is in her 30s and has aged well, she is still a young and cute junior to me.

I didn’t know that such a junior actually lived in a lot of pain.

I was mistaken just by looking at her appearance.

This trip is for her.

So I don’t want to make her do anything difficult.

It seemed like Mr. Baek had done quite a bit of research to avoid inconveniencing me during my trip.

That’s why I’m apologizing now.

I saw somewhere that if you sit in the passenger seat, you should not doze off for the sake of the driver.

Teacher Baek said he had never gone on a proper trip.

If so, you would never have enjoyed a trip like this while sitting in the passenger seat.

I was simply grateful that they made an effort to find such information so as not to cause inconvenience to me.

But I actually don’t think that way.

Since I originally liked driving, it is better to concentrate on driving rather than talking.

“Don’t worry. I’m tired from hiking, so of course I’m sleepy.”

“Ah…you’re sleepy too, aren’t you…”

Teacher Baek’s face turns red as he looks in the rearview mirror.

It seemed like he was thinking that he had made another mistake.

“Teacher Baek.”

“Yes……”

“Did you forget what I asked you to do?”

“Yes…yes?”

“We’re here to have fun.”

“Ma…that’s right.”

“You asked me to think of you as a friend, not as a junior.”

“Ah……”

“Think comfortably. If you are sleepy, you can sleep. If you feel energetic, you can talk to me then.”

“…Well…but…you’re tired, so I’m the only one…”

“I like driving.”

“……”

“In order to focus solely on the pleasure of driving, I don’t like it when someone talks to me.”

Yes.

This car is a car designed to run among German premium sedans.

Even if you turn the steering wheel just a little, the steering angle moves sharply.

Quickly responding accelerator.

Brakes with linear response.

Driving on winding coastal roads in a vehicle like this is very enjoyable.

If I didn’t have a daughter, I would have bought this car.

The problem with this car is that the ride quality is not as good as my car.

Passenger.

My daughter wanted the most comfortable car.

My car is the most expensive sedan among German premium brands.

This is the model that my daughter rides in the back seat is the most comfortable.

On the other hand, this car has good mobility, but the back seat is not that comfortable.

That’s why I didn’t buy this car.

If Mr. Baek had been awake, we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the fun ride we had so far.

Perhaps because she was so tired, she slept well despite my wild ride.

“Thanks to Mr. Baek, I had some fun with this car.”

“Do you have more fun with cars than me?”

“Huh?”

Her face was frozen.

“How do you compare that?”

gulp.

Her face tenses for a moment.

But that face will soon straighten out.

“Of course, talking with Teacher Baek is much more fun.”

Teacher Baek was psychologically depressed.

That’s what I felt from the airport.

Everyone is nervous.

Even if you promise not to, you won’t be able to shake it off like a mental illness.

In such cases, the important thing is to put your mind at ease.

What I need is my praise.

It is important to receive compliments from people who trust and rely on you.

This is one of the important ways to make her psychologically comfortable.

“I just played with the car because I was bored while Teacher Baek was sleeping because he was tired.”

Teacher Baek’s frozen face completely straightened.

“Haha…Senior…I should have made it more fun…I’m sorry I fell asleep.”

“Don’t forget. The theme of this trip is your healing journey. If you do what you want, I don’t want anything more.”

“…Thank you. Senior.”

She nodded and greeted me.

-The destination is 10km ahead.-

“Ah, it will arrive in a little while.”

“Are you finally arriving at your accommodation?”

“Okay. You can look forward to it.”

“…Even a shabby motel is fine as long as it is a place prepared by you.”

“How can I go to a place like that when I am attending a precious junior?”

It’s not true until now, but Teacher Baek A-rin was very passionate.

When she had a change of heart, I could feel quite a bit of heat around her.

“Ah…anyway…thank you, senior.”

“Special words.”

I opened the panoramic sunroof.

february.

It was cold, but I was able to cover it up by turning on the heater.

A sea breeze full of salt.

Because it is something that can only be felt here.

“Senior, are you really not tired? I will drive tomorrow.”

“No. Mr. Baek only drives compact cars, so I can’t entrust him with a large sedan like this. I rented it, but what should I do if it gets scratched?”

“My license is Class 1 Ordinary, so I can drive a truck.”

“Still, I can’t believe it.”

I felt like the relationship between Teacher Baek and I had become more relaxed than before.

Her nervous appearance calmed down a lot after seeing Ilchulbong.

This sea breeze.

It will also do a good job of relieving her tension.

“How about it? Do you like Jeju Island?”

“…Yes.”

“You did well to come, right?”

“……”

There was no answer.

“I guess it didn’t come out the way Teacher Baek had hoped. Then, would I have been able to get this feeling?”

“…I’m sorry. I’m giving you a hard time, senior.”

“No. I always come here with my daughter, but now that I come here with my favorite junior, it feels new and good.”

I flinch.

She contracts and relaxes slightly.

An inexplicable light sigh.

“Your daughter seems to be a very important part of your career.”

“That’s right. In the end, the only family member who cares about me is my daughter.”

“…But you’re an adult now…won’t you leave soon?”

“So…you’ll get lonely soon, right? Haha.”

“Then…I…”

She holds her hands together and plays with her index fingers non-stop.

It looks like he wants to talk about something.

“…What is it?”

“No.”

“I think you want to say something?”

“No. doesn’t exist. By the way, where is our accommodation?”

“Ah…it’s arriving soon.”

The most luxurious and expensive resort in Seogwipo.

“Could it be…over there?”

“Yes, there it is.”

It feels like entering a huge historical site.

The car rushed through the entrance with teacher Baek A-rin in it, her mouth agape.

“This place…isn’t it really expensive?”

“Cheap because it is the off-season.”

“Still…it looks really expensive…”

The resort was more luxurious than I expected.

I felt like I was at a luxury resort in Southeast Asia.

The check-in lobby has a central ceiling that creates a feeling of great openness.

Even though I didn’t go in, just looking at it from the floor-to-ceiling window outside gave me an incredibly intimidating feeling.

In the off-season, expensive resorts are deserted.

I parked my car in the best spot.

“Ah…are you really sure I don’t have to pay?”

She was restless with a 200% burden.

“You helped me for 10 years, but this is like a bloody mess.”

“…Still.”

“Jeong I think it’s a bonus then.”

“…Yes?”

“You don’t like cash bonuses?”

“Ah…no! great!! I love it so much… that’s why…!!”

“Okay. Then let’s check in quickly. I’ll open the trunk for you, so please pack your luggage.”

“Yes, senior!!”

****

We checked in.

“Sir… Are you taking two rooms?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“Ah…that’s right! I was worried I might have caught one.”

“Would you say I’m crazy and take a shot?”

“Haha…that’s right!! Fortunately, the. Haha…”

Teacher Baek seemed confused at first because he thought I had taken a room.

Of course, bad guys would have done that.

There is nothing I can do because I only have one room.

Having two rooms is expensive.

Even if there is only one room, there are two beds.

Something like this.

But I’m different from those guys.

Teacher Baek A-rin and I are strangers.

Although they are juniors and seniors, they are clearly opposite sex.

Luxury resorts are expensive even in the off-season.

I made a reservation for over 700,000 won per night.

Since I made two reservations, it costs 1.4 million won per night.

If you are a married couple…or friends of the same sex, you can share one room.

However, Baek A-rin and I have a simple employment relationship.

It’s a senior-junior relationship in college.

You can’t use just one room.

I took the elevator and went up to the 4th floor.

It is a resort building with only 4 floors.

It is said that it was not built high in order to blend in with nature as much as possible.

Luxury felt in the hallway.

The indirect lighting and the hallway finished with high-quality tiles made me feel like I was worth the money I spent.

Arrived in front of the room.

Teacher Baek’s room was right next to it.

I handed her a card key.

“Now. Bangki.”

“Yes…thank you.”

“Let’s wrap things up and see you in front of me in 30 minutes.”

“Yes…?”

“I have to eat dinner.”

Yes.

I booked it as a package.

This is a package that includes a high-end buffet dinner operated by the resort.

****

“Wow…it’s really good. Meal while looking at the sea and the cool sea breeze…”

She and I, wearing a dress with a floral pattern on a white background, were having dinner at the buffet on the first floor of the resort.

It’s February.

There is still a lot of cold wind blowing.

However, many stand-up stoves were installed here so people could eat outside.

It was nice that the beach side was lit with strong lights so that you could enjoy the beach view even on a dark night.

The classical music playing there was enough to make the atmosphere more luxurious.

“Right? It’s expensive.”

“Oh, by the way…the room is really nice too. It’s so sophisticated. I think it’s too much for a bonus.”

Teacher Baek A-rin was someone who felt pressured like this when given a little space.

I think it might take a little pressure to take the pressure off her.

“Don’t keep saying it’s too much. Does that make you even more angry?”

“Yes…sorry.”

“Would you like to have a drink? Of course, not soju but beer.”

“Good.”

“Can’t it be a one-shot like last time?”

Teacher Baek’s face became embarrassed as if he remembered the time when he took a single shot of a bottle of soju.

“Seo…Senior!! At that time…you decided to forget about that!”

“But what do you think of every time you drink with Mr. Baek?”

“Seo…Senior!! You’re doing too much!”

Teacher Baek A-rin, who is flustered and flustered, looks cute.

I felt that way even more when I saw her being so shy, rather than the always easy-going girl.

I ordered a draft beer.

“Let’s do it.”

I raised my glass.

Teacher Baek also raised his glass slightly awkwardly.

“For the happiness of Teacher Baek A-rin.”

I moved my glass to hers.

She hesitated for a moment and gently clinked her glass against mine.

“I hope you find a good partner.”

“What?”

what?

suddenly?

“What do you mean?”

“No…now that your daughter is an adult…I think she might get lonely. Now, shouldn’t you think about remarriage?”

okay.

Yes.

My daughter will leave my arms someday.

The family thought there was only one daughter.

In fact, according to the law, only daughters are family members.

For now, my daughter will someday start her own family and become independent.

Teacher Baek A-rin’s words made me imagine my fearful future of dying alone and alone.

“Maybe later, but not now.”

“Why is that so?”

“My daughter is against remarriage.”

“Ah…is that so.”

Teacher Baek looked a little weak.

But soon he fixed his face again.

“Ah… Anyway, I will do it for the happiness of you and your daughter!”

Jang!

The beer flows slightly due to the strong collision between the beer glasses.

Gulp. Gulp.

She did so and downed the beer in no time.

“You need to learn leadership. One shot of soju and beer?”

“Hmm… But compared to soju, this is a soft drink. I don’t think I’m that drunk.”

“Now, look.”

I showed my beer glass.

This is a beer glass that has been reduced by about one-fifth.

“This is the appropriate amount to drink once. Next time, you can’t drink any more than this.”

“Yes…yes…! If my senior speaks…I understand!”

Mr. Baek took a shot of draft beer, but the beer had a low alcohol content and the hotel’s draft beer was made in smaller glasses than those used at commercial pubs, so I didn’t think Mr. Baek would be as rude as he was last time.

“Anyway……”

Buuung.

Buuung.

Since when did it start?

The cell phone in my pocket kept ringing.

It was my daughter’s call.

“Wow, when did this come?”

Tuk.

It was cut off.

A sign showed that there were already three calls.

I don’t think I noticed because the cell phone vibrated weakly.

Buuung.

It rings again.

It was also a daughter.

“Senior. You should answer the phone.”

“Ah…yeah…yeah.”

I got a call.

“Hello?”

[dad!!! Why are you answering the phone now?!]

It was the first time I heard my daughter’s voice so angry.
