Chapter 39 – Part 1
I’m probably very embarrassed and embarrassed by now, but nevertheless, the car I was driving passed through the hotel parking lot smoothly without shaking.
For a moment, she stared at the back of the car that was moving away as fast as the amount of embarrassment she must have felt at this moment.
What caught her eye at that moment was a woman with the expression of a man who had been sleeping with her long-time girlfriend to a tanned blonde punk.
She, most likely the student council president of our department, had that kind of face on her face as she fixed her gaze on the direction I was looking just a moment ago.
As she did so with a dog-like face, for some reason, she remembered the chocolate she had raised at her parents’ home.
That’s what Choco’s face looked like when he was forcibly harvesting the peanuts between his hind legs.
‘How are you doing there, Choco?’
No, but how could a dog’s name be Choco?
In terms of people, their names are Kim Cheong-san or Park Je-cho-je.
It was a bit like talking to someone who was obviously not very close, even if they belonged to the same department.
So, since she was thinking such nonsensical thoughts, even though my car had disappeared for a long time, the woman who had been staring blankly in the direction where it had disappeared suddenly came to her senses, trembling.
“That, he just-“
Then he asked about it.
At first glance, it seemed like the words were in vain, so I decided to pretend I didn’t hear at least once.
“Huh? What?”
“Oh, no. That- I’m in the 18th class, right?”
“That’s right, but…”
“I’m 18 too.”
So what do you mean?
“..Is it okay if I speak comfortably?”
Scared to think, she asked that, so he nodded her head once to mean yes.
It was such a big deal to let go of words. That alone made the woman’s face bloom.
That look must-
‘It’s like a dog.’
It was.
It wasn’t meant to be insulting, it was meant to be cute.
It’s like watching a little dog panting and wagging her tail when she hears her go for a walk.
So I smiled sneakily without even realizing it, and the woman’s face, who had been spying on my face, turned red.
“I’m sorry, but if your name is-“
“I’m Se-Rin. Han Se-Rin.”
I was morose because I didn’t know her name, but Serene, who quickly regained her energy, introduced herself in her lively voice.
“I am-“
“I know. Yuhan, right? Lee Yuhan.”
“Yeah, but how-“
“Oh, that, I texted you the day before yesterday.”
“That’s right, it was.”
As I nodded her head to mean that I finally understood, Serene began to look at me again.
I was wondering if you were looking at me like that to say something else-
“If that’s okay, can I call you Yuhan?”
Words far more insignificant than I thought came from Serene’s lips.
No, what else am I saying
I thought you were making a sudden confession because you were so nervous.
Gina, Sena, and Gayoung were so overwhelming. Serene, standing in front of me now, was also a beauty in her own way. Should I say that each department has at least one person? Why, thanks to their unique lively personality, aren’t there kids who are close to their classmates and see them often wherever they go?
That was exactly the impression I got from Celine.
How could someone like that be so nervous about calling my name once?
Feeling something difficult to describe, he nodded her head willingly.
But Serene didn’t think I would allow it.
“Okay.”
“..Yes?”
It must have been the case when you see how shocked he was.
“You said you’d let go?”
“Ah, that, that’s right! That, then I’ll call you Yuhan.”
“Yes, Serena.”
A strangely itchy feeling.
Sensing it flowing down her face, she smiled lightly at Serene, and her already red face suddenly heated up.
Maybe it was because she became a woman and she seemed shy.
“I-I-I’ll guide you to the room first.”
Said Celine in a crawling voice as she swung her head away from her, and with a stiff gait she started toward the hotel.
The room I arrived at after moving along such Serene was better than I expected in my heart.
It should have been good, but it was at the level of a condo in the end.
Maybe she couldn’t bear to set foot in what must have been a room for male students.
“That- how is it?”
Serene wasn’t even at the entrance, she was standing in the hallway and asked me as I had already entered the room.
“Do you think you’re okay?”
“That’s right?”
“But can I stay here?”
“Yes?”
“No, I think I’m holding on to a busy person for no reason.”
She said a little yes, and a slightly apologetic expression floated over her face, and Celine shook her head vigorously.
“No! I’m not busy at all!”
Of course, I knew as soon as I heard that those words were lies.
If you think about it common sense, it was bound to be a lie.
Isn’t Se-Rin the student council president?
To put it simply, it is said that the position of overseeing the event called Saeteo is such that a person in such a position could not be busy.
“Ah, are you saying that you’re afraid I’ll be burdensome?”
“Ji, I’m really not busy—”
“I’m fine, just tell me where to go.”
“Well, for now, everyone is gathered in the small auditorium on the first basement floor, but…”
“Then should we go there?”
“Yes.”
A feeling of longing dripped from her face as she slowly swayed up and down.
Maybe that’s why, but Serene couldn’t leave the door easily.
“Can you please close the door?”
“..Huh?”
“I’m going to change some clothes.”
So, as she said that, her exclamation mark floated over Celine’s face, which was full of regret.
“Oh, me, sorry!”
Soon after, Serene, who shuddered, drained her juices, screamed at her, and slammed the door shut.
‘Uh…’
I’ll just break down the door.
She laughed bitterly and untied her bag on the floor.
She then started throwing off her clothes.
A dull gray hoodie and plain jeans fell to the floor.
They were all deliberately chosen to reassure Gina.
However, there is no need to worry about Gina’s eyes anymore.
So she took out some neat-looking clothes from the things in her bag and put them on.
‘Did she say that they were gathered on the first basement floor?’
It’s late anyway, so there’s no need to go down right away.
If you stay for 2 nights and 3 days, you should be aware of what is around the hotel so that you can use it when needed.
So I started walking down the hallway.
After looking around to see what was inside and around the hotel, I stopped at a mart disguised as a convenience store, bought some toiletries, and then headed to the small auditorium on the 1st basement level where an event was said to be taking place.
The problem was timing.
“Uh, our department—”
Even when I went in, someone was eagerly explaining something, and I went in, so all the eyes of those who were sitting huddled around the podium were all focused on me.
Among them was Serene, who had a nervous expression on her face for some reason.
Feeling ashamed for some reason, she nodded her head at the woman on the podium, then leaned over slightly and headed towards where Serene was.
Just looking at it, it seemed like that was where the current students were gathered.
“Can I sit next to you?”
“Oh, yes!”
As I sat down next to Seline, who was empty just in time, Seline, who suddenly sat next to me, started glancing at my face again.
“That– did it take long?”
“Oh, I stopped by the convenience store to buy something. I thought I had packed it, but I didn’t pack anything to wash.”
“That’s right.”
Did you even imagine me taking a shower? A gurgling sound came from somewhere, and the nape of Serene’s neck turned red.
“I had some business to talk to.”
“…”
Of course, as soon as I said that, it turned sullen as if it had never happened.
“So what are you doing now?”
“Ah, that… Orientation is almost over. Now introduce yourself, form a team, and play some games-“
“Yeah? It’ll be fun.”
Of course, it wasn’t as fun as I had hoped.
If I had to choose the funniest moment, it would be about the self-introduction time of the freshmen.
Everyone trembled with nervousness but continued to introduce themselves steadfastly, and I felt cute regardless of their looks.
Thanks to that, I was able to discover two female juniors with outstanding looks even among freshmen who seemed to be in their 50s.
One was named Lee Yu-rin, and the other was named Oh Yoon-jung.
‘Wait… Oh Yoon-jung?’
Why do you think I heard it somewhere?
I tried diligently to see if anyone I knew had a name like that, but I couldn’t find anyone with that name even after looking through all of my few human relationships.
If so, where did this strange sense of deja vu come from?
Scary to repeat, what came to my mind was the setting of the novel that triggered the goddess kidnapping me to this world.
To be precise, it should be said that she is the fourth character after Gayoung, Sena, and Gina.
Of course, she was slightly lower in class than Gayoung, Sena, or Gina. If those three were the main characters, Yoon Jeong-eun was closer to a supporting role.
It was.
If I remember correctly, that woman, who for some reason evoked the feeling of a jerk, was one of the characters in a novel I wrote and abandoned throughout the year.
‘Somehow, the appearance is unusual…’
Apparently, one of the characteristics of the main character, Yuhan, is that he is a college student, so I thought that there should be at least one heroine in my school, so I created this character.
The person born that way was now living and breathing before my eyes.
‘..He passes.’
So it was.
I decided to pretend not to know Yoon-jung.
If my memory is correct, Yunjeong was an opponent who should not be touched carelessly.
So, even if I touched it, I thought I would only touch the juniors who were like Lee Yoo-rin or whatever, excluding Yoon-jung.
“My name is Yoon-Jung Oh. Please take good care of me, senior.”
No, why are they on the same team?
Looking at Yoon-jung, who bowed her head toward me, and regardless of my will, cold sweat ran down my spine.
“Ah, yes…”
“It’s okay if you speak comfortably.”
The appearance of Yunjeong, who smiled and said that, was a polite junior in itself.
However, I, who contributed greatly to her birth, was already aware of it. That it was all made up.
That was a mask Yoon-jeong made to pass her grandmother’s test safely.
Even if I wanted to be relieved because I knew that fact, I couldn’t.
“..Okay.”
“Oh, but-“
“Huh?”
“Can’t you tell me your name, senior?”
The feeling that she shouldn’t tell her tickled the nape of her neck, but she couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
The reason why I was curious about my name was that the other juniors seemed to be the same, because the shining eyes were flying into my face.
“That’s why.”
“Then can I call her Senior Yuhan?”
“..Okay.”
“Me too!”
“Me too!!”
He nodded his head appropriately to those who started chirping like baby birds welcoming a mother bird that returned with food, and from then on, questions started pouring in.
“Senior, what grade are you in?”
“May I ask what high school did she go to?”
“Do you live in Seoul?”
“Are you living in a dormitory or living on your own?”
“Is it very difficult to sleep on your own?”
“Isn’t it better to go to the dormitory for the first year?”
“Can you tell me if there are any classes you can recommend?”
“Can you tell me if there is a restaurant near the school?”
If you’re going to ask a question, give me some time to answer it.
My head was dizzy at the offensive of the freshmen who poured out questions in front of each other as if they were competing with each other.
Could it be that, without my knowledge, a rule has been established that the person who gets the answer from me first wins.
Unlike the other freshmen who competitively bombarded with questions, the person who played a decisive role in creating such an atmosphere remained silent after the first question.
With her eyes full of interest, she said.
So I was anxious
Because it didn’t even look like acting.
