Anzu Coffee.

One of the cafes near universities, this is a private cafe that maintains a steady stream of customers through its emotional cafe interior and taste at a time when branded cafes are popular.

There I am now.

He was serving coffee while wearing an apron.

Although it was a situation I could not have imagined even an hour ago.

Perhaps because of my experience working at Gold One, adapting was not very difficult.

This is a modern cafe where most people bring their own drinks using a vibrating bell.

However, since the store here is not large, they bring the drinks themselves.

‘It’s fortunate for me.’

Because I can’t make coffee right away.

The role is to memorize table numbers and bring drinks to guests.

Approximately 2 or 3 hours have passed.

As it was dinner time, students who had been sitting and studying went out to eat dinner, and the number of takeouts decreased.

Thanks to the fact that the next part-timer arrived just then, I took off my apron and sighed.

“Phew.”

“You worked hard.”

The manager approaches me and gently holds out an envelope.

“Today’s daily wage.”

“Ah.”

I didn’t know you would take care of me.

A store manager in his mid-30s with an impressive beard. The solemn atmosphere of an adult.

I felt a strange comparison with the bald man I saw recently.

“You must have been embarrassed because you had to come so suddenly, but thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you.”

“I will talk to Joohee separately.”

“… … Senior Joohee is responsible and good at her job.”

“Yes?”

It may feel out of the blue, but I felt like I needed to make an excuse for now.

The fall this time was literally some kind of accident.

“Of course, I have nothing to say if you say that managing one’s physical condition is also a personal ability. Still-.”

Jingling jingling!

At that moment, the door opens and senior Joo-hee comes in urgently.

I really felt like I was seeing a new side of Joohee sunbae today as he looked so pale and didn’t know what to do.

“Hey, store manager. sorry. Woojin, I’m really sorry to you too.”

The way he bows his head deeply doesn’t seem fussy, and you can feel Joohee’s sincerity.

The store manager looked at me and Joohee in turns and replied that it was okay.

* * *

After talking with the cafe manager, I was on my way home.

The surroundings have already become dark.

Joohee offered to buy me dinner, but I said it was okay.

“Go to your accommodation and get some sleep. I think that would be good.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I was really worried when I saw the fatigue on his face that still hadn’t gone away.

“It’s difficult to study and work part-time at the same time. Don’t be too pushy, and if you need anything, let me know.”

In the case of lectures that you take together with me, wouldn’t it be okay if I took notes separately and showed them to you, or summarized the main points?

but.

“No, it’s okay. There’s no need for that.”

Senior Joohee was quite adamant in refusing my help.

He seemed to be drawing a line to the point where I wondered if there was some reason.

“… … .”

I couldn’t get any closer than that.

I dumped my senior, and he became friends with me without any problems.

Digging deeper wouldn’t be good for the senior either.

“I’m really sorry today, Woojin. I will definitely repay you for this.”

“No, senior. How much help did I get from my senior?”

I have always received help from senior Joohee in major situations such as group assignments and the President Hwang incident.

There was no need to get anything from my senior just by pinch-hitting for a part-time job.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After that we didn’t really talk to each other.

What should I say?

It felt like there was a sense of distance between us that we couldn’t talk any further than this.

However, various emotions were visible on senior Joohee’s face as she walked toward the dormitory.

I don’t know what it is though.

It looked like he would collapse at any moment if he left his senior alone.

There were more than one time that I almost reached out and grabbed him without even realizing it.

‘after.’

Every time that happens, I think about my kids and endure it.

Because I wasn’t the person to protect senior Joohee.

“Ujina.”

“Why.”

Exam week.

I had already taken one test and was studying with Seo Ye-rin at a table in front of the convenience store.

“Ujina.”

“Why.”

Even while drinking Hershey, I keep my eyes on my notes.

If you ask why I am studying here, it is because there are no seats.

The cafes and libraries within the university are already full.

It’s a bit far to go to the cafe outside, so it’s hard to go to the next exam right away.

As a compromise, I studied at a convenience store.

“Ujinaa.”

“Why are you calling me?”

I was told that he had a test in an hour, but is it okay for him to be this relaxed?

When he responds with a slight irritability, Seo Ye-rin pouts her lips and rests her chin on the table.

“I want to study.”

“I hate it too.”

“My mom tells me to go to acting school. What should I do?”

“I have to go. What’s the problem?”

“Ha.”

Seo Ye-rin sighs as if there is something wrong. At times like this, I reach out to think that maybe stroking my head will help me feel better…

widely!

“I’m not in the mood to let loose with a simple move!”

The guy who immediately slaps his hand away.

“Instead of kidding like this, it’s better to have more intense contact!”

“I lost money by worrying.”

As I was concentrating on my studies again, Seo Ye-rin turned her head back and forth and asked.

“Woojin, because I became an actor. What will you do if you have to film a romance with a male actor?”

“I’ll go and think about it then.”

“Now is the time. I came into the drama this time.”

“… … .”

I raise my head without realizing it.

Seo Ye-rin, who was staring at me, suddenly had a serious expression on her face.

“Not a lead role, but a supporting role. He said he would like me to act with a fresh feel.”

Place the pen slowly.

“That’s why my mom told me to go to acting school quickly. Filming starts in May at the earliest, so practice for at least a month or two.”

“… … .”

“They said this would be my debut work. There is a movie we filmed last time. I think it would be perfect because it aired similar to when it was released.”

“I understand why you can’t concentrate on studying.”

I sigh deeply.

It was a problem I thought was still far away. When it came so close to my eyes, I had nothing to say.

“Perhaps this is why you want your mother to see it?”

“Ah, Madou?”

You can’t stand to see your daughter debut but be held back by the boyfriend she met in college.

“ Looking at the timing, it seems like the perfect time. Perhaps YS also recognized Cotyledon.”

It feels like a lot of effort went into it.

From schedule to casting.

It was a good time for Seo Ye-rin to join the cast, and she was given a role that suited her as a college student.

There is a bright future ahead for the person you love, so blocking it is a form of oppression.

Also, it is foolish to not see the work of an actor as a public thing.

“Don’t do it.”

And I’m stupid.

Also very selfish.

Seo Ye-rin is staring at me blankly.

I have to emphasize it again.

“Don’t do it. Don’t do that with anyone else but me.”

“It’s work?”

“Yes, even if it’s work.”

“Then I look hateful towards YS?”

“It’s okay.”

“I already told my mother that I would make myself an actor, right?”

“It’s you.”

I’m sorry, but out of the three people I love, the one I’m least worried about is Seo Ye-rin.

“You stand out no matter what.”

Look at that look.

No matter where you turn on the TV right now, there is no one with looks like Seo Ye-rin.

Although there may be differences in taste, a face that can never be called ugly.

Also, considering the time when I took acting seriously, I also had some talent for acting.

“You can definitely get promoted even if you don’t do those things. So don’t worry.”

It was an unreasonable statement.

I couldn’t even list a single proper reason, and it sounded very selfish.

“Hehe!”

Seo Ye-rin smiled brightly and quickly sat down next to me, crossing her arms.

The overwhelming texture and scent violently attacked me.

“Kim Woo-jin, have you become more of a boyfriend?”

“Kuhm.”

“Then should I debut without hiding that I have a boyfriend?”

“Does that happen?”

Well, it’s not like you debut and introduce yourself like in a gacha game.

“I’m not going to do an interview or anything like that. That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Hehehe.

Seo Ye-rin clears her throat once.

Suddenly, the voice changed to a broadcast tone.

“Yes, I am very grateful to the staff, senior actors, and the company who worked hard while filming this work. I am so thankful to my parents and my boyfriend.”

“This is how I felt about receiving the award.”

“And I have something to congratulate. Actually! I’m pregnant hohoho!”

“Wow.”

Seo Ye-rin felt a little dizzy because she felt like she was really going to do it.

The internet would probably explode at that moment. People will be spreading the word about Seo Ye-rin in various communities.

wait for a sec.

“You didn’t really do it, right?”

Just in case, I glanced at her and asked, and Seo Ye-rin smiled brightly.

“Why?”

Why?

“If you really wanted to do it, you shouldn’t be studying, you should start by naming your child.”

“Hehehehe!”

Seo Ye-rin said she felt good and clung to her arm and rubbed her cheek. Anyway, I wondered if I could act if I could show my emotions this well.

“Unfortunately, I haven’t hit the mark yet.”

Whispering softly, Seo Ye-rin’s finger touches my spot.

I rub it through my pants as if it tickles.

There was nothing else said.

Just passing the time like that.

Of course, the pants rose so hard that they bulged, but Seo Ye-rin did not go any further than her fingers.

I decided to just focus on my studies without asking for anything more.

“I have to go take the test.”

Although it’s a bit disappointing that I’m not pregnant.

Anyway, there are many opportunities.

As I focused on my studies again, Seo Ye-rin pouted her lips again and uncrossed her arms.

Then he turned around and leaned his back on my shoulder.

Seo Ye-rin was staring blankly at the parasol hanging on the table.

“Ujina.”

“Why.”

Once again we continue with a meaningless question and answer.

“Ujinaa.”

“Why.”

A somewhat late spring breeze blew.

“My boyfriend.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Hi.”

Seo Ye-rin was smiling as if she felt that.
