episode_0360

After driving slowly for about two hours on a charter bus, we arrived at our accommodation a day late.

‘I’m already looking at it.’

As soon as you arrive, you can feel the eyes looking down from the window of the hotel suite.

It’s far away so other people can’t see it, but I can see a white-haired woman clinging to the window squinting at me.

‘It definitely feels different.’

Baek Harang and Baek Harang simply shared hobbies and exchanged each other’s inner thoughts without any patriotic acts.

In contrast, Baek Seol-hee looks at me with a look in her eyes that seems like she could eat me at any moment, as if she was comforting her body and mind late at night alone.

If you ask which one is better, both are good.

For me, there is no reason to distinguish between the two.

‘At a glance, it looks like it’s already been put together.’

I enjoyed the date as it went, so now all that’s left is patriotism! That was the look in his eyes.

‘If I had known it would be like this, would I have satisfied my alter ego?’

Baek Seol-hee may not have enough since she only enjoyed innocent dates with her alter ego, such as seeing the night view of Jeju Island, walking around the night streets, talking, and watching movies.

Baek Seol-hee is already a woman who is not that pure.

“Ah. We ask that all faculty and staff move to their respective accommodations and prepare for the summer semester starting tomorrow. The president of the association had a request for you: be careful not to let students stray…”

People from the association are also urging caution.

Even though it is summer semester, there is something about Jeju Island that makes students’ hearts flutter, and since some of the students are obviously adults, it cannot be suppressed carelessly.

‘Out of the 50, how many will grow up and be able to return to Sejong Island?’

The number of A-level students who participated in the summer semester was as many as 50.

This number includes not only Korean A-level students, but also foreign A-level students attending Sejong Academy, and the number of people who can be said to be purely Korean is 33.

‘Looking at the situation of the students, it seems that everyone has been in a state of despair since the first day they arrived in Jeju Island.’

Looking at the A-level talented students who came out to see the faculty members who arrived at the dormitory, it seems that some of them have already committed suicide.

Jeju Island is where you can meet as many people as you want.

You can also hunt people passing by.

You can also go to a club or a pub and have a many-to-many meeting.

Even if that’s not the case, you can also meet people through SNS or applications.

Or, there might have been a case where two A-level talented people disappeared in different directions and an hour later went to a hotel a little away from their accommodation to rest together.

They may not have committed anything in earnest yet, but there is no A-level talented person who comes here and purely says, ‘I will improve my skills to S-level!’

‘Your heart is full of patriotism.’

How can I form a relationship with a more handsome man?

How can I have a relationship like that with a prettier girl?

From the perspective of international students, how can they attract talented Koreans to their country or settle them in Korea?

This is the situation even for those with special abilities, but what about faculty and staff?

“…After all, people with special abilities are better than ordinary people, right?”

“Arthur. Everyone is grade A. I have to go over what I have to overcome.”

“Ah, but if you get into a relationship like that with a class A person, wouldn’t your life be blooming? Isn’t that right?”

“Say you won first place in the lottery five times in a row.”

The faculty and staff also have their hearts in the soybean fields.

Some of the faculty members may have already enjoyed the night breeze in Jeju City, but they still want to end up with a talented person, whether as a lover or marriage.

‘The political scene will be less intense than this.’

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the dating front, and everyone is looking for someone attractive with their eyes lit up.

In that sense, I am in a position with relatively less burden.

‘Rather than an incompetent ordinary librarian, he is a man with A-level abilities.’

On the outside, he is a man with nothing to show off other than his smooth face.

In comparison, the hotel here is now full of young people who are good-looking and have A-level talents.

Compared to them, I am just a folding screen, and all I have to do is stay quiet without attracting aggro.

Then, if there is a time that Baek Seol-hee wants, you can have a flirtation with Baek Seol-hee as if you are attracted to it.

That is Baek Seol-hee’s wish when she came to Jeju Island.

So I…

“Hey, you’re a library teacher, right?”

“……?”

“Hello, teacher?”

A woman with short platinum hair, which is rarely seen, bows her head and smiles at me.

Judging by the clothes he is wearing, it is an academy uniform, and the person wearing these clothes here is a student belonging to the academy – in other words, he is a Class A student who participated in the summer semester.

“The student….”

“My name is Na Ji-young. I’m 22 years old this year.”

“Ah. This is student Na Ji-young. I borrowed a lot of music-related books.”

“Yes. Hehe, I’m glad you remembered. I was wondering what would happen if I couldn’t remember.”

Na Ji-young smiled lowly and stretched out her hand toward me.

At first I thought it was something, but quickly realized it was just a handshake.

“Do you want to shake hands…?”

“Yes. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Shall I show you around here?”

It’s been a long time, but to me, this woman is just not worth remembering, and in a novel, she’s just an extra who hasn’t been mentioned even once.

But why is he suddenly insisting on giving me guidance or something?

I caught a glimpse of faint, sticky malice in her seemingly good eyes.

‘You’re trying to play with me. Like a female-oriented romantic fantasy.’

This woman.

He is trying to use his high position as Class A to play with me, who is in a relatively lower position.

A person who is easy to pamper in moderation, is not someone with special abilities, but has a smooth face.

An ordinary man would think, ‘A woman like this deserves to be played with like a toy,’ but I am different.

“Please ask me later. Right now, I have to unpack and go somewhere.”

“…….”

“Okay then.”

“I.”

Na Ji-young blocked my path.

“I said I would introduce you, right?”

“…….”

The voice becomes lower.

Na Ji-young’s face looked like she was going to hit me if I refused further, and the corners of Na Ji-young’s eyes were gradually lowering as she smiled.

It’s natural that he doesn’t like the toy he was supposed to play with as he takes a step back and distances himself from it.

“Are you planning on rejecting my favor? no way. You’re a faculty member, so you’re not going to listen to a student’s request, right?”

“…….”

“Why are you so silent?”

“No. I understand what the student is saying, but there is already someone who has decided to introduce the hotel.”

I declined her offer in a polite voice.

“If you would like to introduce yourself, could you please find another faculty member and introduce him? There are many people other than me who came here today.”

“…I would like to introduce you to the teacher. Teacher, have you ever been told that you don’t have any sense?”

“Have you never heard that a student like that has no sense?”

“…ha?”

He provoked me by scratching me slightly, so I returned the favor, and his expression immediately became distorted.

‘It must be shit.’

When I showed favor to a man who was much inferior to me, the man who couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and pant like a dog hit an iron wall and widened the distance.

‘I’m sorry, but I’m not that easy of a man.’

I am a married man, and I choose the women I want to talk to or walk with.

Sorry, but Na Ji-young is not on my radar.

The same goes for Do Ji-hwan, and as a goblin, there is no possibility of recruiting him at all.

Rather than paying attention to this woman, it would be a more efficient way to spend time being patriotic with Baek Sul-hee and maintaining Baek Sul-hee’s likeability.

“Then, take a break.”

“…Isn’t it the job of faculty and staff to manage students’ mental health?”

As soon as I got into the elevator, Na Ji-young followed me.

Grumble.

Ignoring other people trying to come in from behind, I press the button and close the door.

There was no staff in the elevator, so I and Na Ji-young ended up getting into the elevator alone.

“If a faculty member offended a Grade A student, wouldn’t that really be a huge controversy?”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Oh my, this is a threat? There’s no way something like that could happen in this world. I just wish we could talk for a moment-”

Ding dong.

The elevator suddenly stopped.

Before the elevator had barely gone up, the door opened and a woman came into the elevator.

“…Huh?”

Na Ji-young’s expression hardened when she saw a woman who naturally entered the elevator.

That’s right, because there’s a person in the elevator who doesn’t think something will happen if he stays here right now.

“Professor…?”

“Why.”

A cold voice.

Even though it was the middle of summer, I could feel the chill of winter in her voice as she answered, looking straight ahead without making eye contact.

“What.”

“…Oh, no. Why did you suddenly come out of this floor…?”

“Are you curious about that?”

“Oh, no.”

I’m curious.

Why did the woman who should have taken the elevator on the suite floor get on the lower floor now?

“Why? Wasn’t that what you were talking about?”

“No, that’s it.”

“Ah. Hello.”

She nodded slightly and greeted me.

“This is Baek Seol-hee. Please take care of me.”

After a while.

There was talk that someone had jumped off the fire escape and went down, but no one was able to find that person.
