Episode 33. Couple Seojun Min, preparing for final exams (2)

I came back to Minseo Kim’s house. When she heard that Im Seo-joon was kissing her in front of her house, she sat down on the sofa with a depressed expression.

“Are you okay?”

“..It’s okay.”

“Really? If it were me, I’m asking because I’m not confident I’ll be okay.”

“…..”

“Ugh…”

I carefully put my arm around her delicate, crushing shoulder. I would like to express my gratitude to Lim Seo-joon, who accumulates karma on his own.

‘Thank you! Lim Seo-joon!’

Aside from her selfishness, she comforted her with her expression, which was made up of only her feelings of pity and her worries.

I didn’t have to fake facial expressions this time. Aside from the plan, it was really sad that a character I liked was so depressed.

“Cheer up, sir.”

“……”

– Tuk, Tuk

I tapped her on the shoulder,

-Swoop

He stroked his back slowly. She seemed surprised by the sudden contact, but she calmly accepted my comfort as if she had read the concern on my face.

“Sir, now I’m giving you selfless comfort.”

“… After hearing that, I suddenly want to take her hand off.”

“hahahaha.. But, it’s comforting, right?”

“Yes… Thank you, Hyeonu. It’s comforting.”

I responded to her words with a bright smile. He smiled brightly as if he felt joy in her words, without any worries in the world.

Seeing my expression, she smiled and stood up from the sofa.

“Let’s go now, Hyunwoo. I’ll take you there.”

“Oh, really? Um… It’s okay to go home, just take me near my town.”

“Is it okay? It’s dark at night, isn’t it a bit scary for a boy to go alone?”

“Sir, where do I look like I’m going to get hit?”

“No. I think he’s going to hit me.”

“It’s not like that… Anyway, I’m on the boxing club. I’m good enough at self-defense.”

“Then, I’ll take you to the neighborhood. Let’s go.”

-Ppirik

I opened the door lock and went out the door. There was no one there. Fortunately, if you hadn’t stopped kissing yet, it would have been a very embarrassing situation.

Go down the stairs and leave the common entrance.

“Sir, would you like to go see the cat?”

“Yes, yes.”

Even if there was comfort, Kim Min-seo’s mentality may not have fully recovered yet. As expected, there was nothing like a cute cat to help her recover mentally.

-Nyaang

A cat in the alley approached Minseo Kim and acted aegyo. Minseo Kim petted the cat for a while, wondering what she was thinking.

“Hey, cat…”

“Call me Pluto.”

“Pluto? Is that your name?”

“Yes. That’s the name of a cat in my favorite book.”

That’s a very ominous name. I think it was pretty scary…

“What kind of novel is this?”

“The Black Cat of Lucas Pilela.”

Was there such a writer? I think I’ve heard the name of the novel.

“Let’s go now. We’ll be late.”

“Yes.”

Now is the time between the dark night and dusk. The night air was cool, and I could see a few women smoking cigarettes on the streets. White cigarette smoke rose to the sky.

“Ugh…”

“Why?”

“I don’t like cigarette smoke. I don’t smoke.”

“I see… Teacher doesn’t smoke either.”

“Yes, I thought so.”

-Trudge

We headed to the town where I live. If her words were cut off, lest she be consumed by her gloomy mood again, I spoke to her without ceasing.

“Sir, look over there. It looks like a stray cat, but it’s cute.”

“Sir, over there! The street lights are flickering. Do you know that ghost story? Whenever the street lights flicker…”

As a result, she seemed to feel better as well.

“Sir, is this test difficult?”

“Which test? Mathematics? Or some other subject?”

“Just, overall.”

“I don’t think it’s that difficult? It might be difficult for Hyeonu.”

Finally, her words began to be mixed with laughter.

“hahahaha… I’ve been working hard lately? …Math?”

“Hyunwoo, can’t you work hard on other subjects too? Don’t doze off in class.”

“Oops, stop nagging me.”

I covered my ears with exaggerated movements and acted in agony. She looked at me and burst into laughter.

“Then.. If you pass 50 points in all subjects this time, the teacher will give you a prize.”

“Huh? What award?”

“That’s a secret. Are you going to work hard?”

“Of course. It’s a prize from the teacher. Then, give me your phone number. If you don’t know something, ask.”

She asked, holding out her cell phone to her.

“Ah….If you refrain from other contact, I’ll give it to you.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“It’s bitter.. I can’t trust it…”

She pursed her lips and pondered a little, then took my cell phone and dialed her number.

“Thank you, sir.”

I carefully put my cell phone in my pocket like a treasure, and Kim Min-seo watched quietly.

Anyway, what kind of prize did you prepare? I think a Hitomi-style prize would be better. After calling her home to give her the award, she wrapped a red ribbon around her body and said, “I am the award, Hyunwoo.” I mean.

Ah, just imagining it makes me happy.

Finally, I arrived at the convenience store between me and Minseo Kim’s house, where I always buy cat snacks.

“Sir. I’ll go in now.”

“Is it really okay if we leave here? It doesn’t matter if we go a little further…”

“Ah, thank you very much, but that’s fine. Um… Instead, would you like to talk on the phone while we’re gone?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Okay then, I’m going. Goodbye!”

“Goodbye, Hyunwoo.”

That’s how I ended my short visit to Kim Min-seo’s house.

**

Separate from Hyeonu and go back the way you came.

Hyeonu lived farther away than I thought. He knew it was the address on paper, but he felt it when he walked over to it himself.

It’s something I feel more strongly as we get closer, but I don’t think Hyunwoo is a bad boy.

Of course, he doesn’t behave well at the academy, but seeing how he treats the old man at the soup restaurant and treats Pluto well, I don’t think it’s bad.

Just now, I was comforted by Hyeonu.

I said it was fine, but in fact it was not fine at all. What would have happened if Hyeonu hadn’t kept talking to me and throwing jokes. I was lost in my own thoughts, and I wonder if the gloomy thoughts biting their tail after Ouroboros ate me up.

Ah, Hyunwoo got my phone number here. He got the phone number and put it in his pocket as if it were gold. hahahaha, my contacts probably aren’t that valuable.

By the way, Hyunwoo promised me that he would give me a prize if he got a good test score… What should I do?

There is no specific award. I just said it because I wanted to bring up the exam first, so I wanted to show a sincere attitude in other subjects as well.

You need to think a little about what kind of award you’ll like.

Shall we show a movie like last time?

Or should I take you to the amusement park? It would be fun to play with Hyunwoo, but…

At that time, an unpleasant smell penetrated my nose. The truth is, the reverberation of the cigarette left in the place where the lady was.

Come to think of it, Hyunwoo also said he doesn’t smoke. Of course, it is not illegal for Hyeonu to smoke as he is an adult, but it is true that academy students do not look very kindly at smoking cigarettes based on social norms.

Avoiding the place where the reverberation of cigarettes remained, I walked with short steps.

My house is almost approaching before I know it.

Should I see Pluto one more time?

“Wooooo…”

The cat rubs its cheek against my hand.

Ha, he seems to get cuter every time I see him.

I don’t cry loudly, so I think it’s fortunate that I’m not a nuisance.

Come to think of it, when I first met him, he was very ferocious.

It took me quite a while to get close to Pluto. I didn’t even know it was there at first because the cry was so small, but one day I found it by accident.

He visited me every single day and gave me snacks, and finally we got to know each other. Now, Pluto is fierce to everyone, but he has become a cat who approaches me with aegyo.

..In a way, he seems similar to Hyunwoo.

He’s cold to most of the other kids and teachers, but he’s also polite and warm to me and some people.

-Nyaang…

“Yeah… Mommy is here.”

Even though he wanted to be close with Hyeonu, he heard that he didn’t have to come all the way home, so I could feel that there was still a minimum line left for him.

Someday, if you give me steady attention and help. Wouldn’t Hyeonu completely open his heart to me like Pluto did?

Wouldn’t it be possible to get rid of that ferocious personality and grow into a student who can share kindness with everyone?

“Whoa… I have to go.”

After squatting for a long time, my legs hurt. I got up, brushed my legs, and headed home.

-Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.. Beep!

I opened the door lock and entered the house. Bright fluorescent lights greeted me.

“Why… It seems so empty…”

The house is a bit spacious for living alone, but I’ve never felt particularly lonely. Today, the house looks spacious and empty.

I felt like I couldn’t concentrate after reading a book, so I sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

-Mr. Daegon, do you know the candidate for Seoul mayor?

-There are two women and two men!

-Two people? The candidate is 162 minutes!

-Really..? Sup.. It must be fierce?

On TV, celebrities laughed and chatted with me.

It was a bright TV show, but I couldn’t sympathize with it. Rather, it added to the emptiness.

“Haa…”

I let out a deep sigh. But I didn’t turn off the TV. If the TV is turned off and there is no sound in the house, it would be really depressing at that time.

So, Kim Min-seo sat on the sofa and watched TV, but fell asleep unable to overcome her fatigue.
