Chapter 17 – Entrance Ceremony
Will I really be able to make new friends at university?
If so, would I be able to date a pretty girlfriend or a handsome boyfriend?
Will I be able to get good grades and get a good job upon graduation?
Even with negative thoughts, I could easily find people my age who had a positive mindset that things would go as planned.
“Are you a freshman? I’m also a freshman. Please take good care of me.”
Among them, men who were confident in their appearance approached Jiyoung, who was standing right next to me, and held out their hands.
“Are you a freshman? Hi~! Let’s get close.”
On the other hand, there were girls approaching me with the bad idea that they would get every advantage they could get by sticking to Ji-young, a pretty girl just like in high school.
Some of them were men and women who were really bewitched by Jiyoung.
“It’s annoying.”
Freshmen to current students. Even the middle-aged men who looked like her professors bothered Ji-young, and she lamented that she would have to live an annoying freshman life again.
Unlike high school, I might be a little less since I have a boyfriend now, but I feel like Ji-young reacts this way because I’m not trustworthy, so her heart is pounding.
“Can’t you take out OT?”
“I’m even telling you to participate as much as possible, but I can’t help but notice.”
Jiyoung asked weakly, leaning her head on my shoulder, who was sitting next to her.
According to what I found on the Internet, although I can freely remove OT, there may be some bad quality seniors, so it is better to participate in order to live a comfortable college life.
If you participate and get close to the seniors, you can get a certain professor’s test setting method or genealogy.
“Haa… It’s annoying. I want to go home.”
I don’t even want to go for a while.
Well, I don’t know all of Ji-young’s feelings, but I could understand it when I saw the freshmen and current students who were still glancing at Ji-young, to be exact, at us sitting in her seat.
“Sniff sniff.”
“What are you doing.”
“Hun is getting happiness from his smell.”
Before she knew it, she was sniffing like her dog because it wasn’t enough to cover her face.
When I asked what she was doing, she said she was getting happiness from my smell…
Me what Jiyoung’s smell gave me happiness and stability at the same time.
No no. She’s my girlfriend Jiyoung is simply sniffing her boyfriend, so no problem at all! So hey you! Don’t look at me like you’re going to kill me! And you who look like a senior! Do you know me?! Why are you clenching your fist! Anxiously.
I feel like I’ve already been photographed by my seniors. I hope my misunderstanding.
Puppies.
“Among the freshmen, there’s not a single one who hasn’t come, right?”
A young man on the podium asked that into the microphone.
From the looks of it, he seems like a member of the student council, but he has no ideas. If it’s a high school, there must be a lot of kids who come up from a nearby middle school. This is a university.
Also, since it is a university in Seoul, there are many freshmen from all over the country, so if you ask me that question, we can’t answer for sure.
“Well, since it looks like everyone has gathered, let’s proceed with the entrance ceremony. Waaaaa~!”
It induces cheers and applause, but it is embarrassingly loud as no freshmen follow it. The entrance ceremony continued.
An unknown man came up and talked, and again, a man who appeared to be a high-ranking man came up and spoke.
And now.
“Representative of freshmen. Jiyoung Yoon. Please come up.”
“I’ll be back.”
“Yeah, well done.”
Me, I’m proud!
As I fixed my eyes on Ji-young, who rose from her seat, I boldly grabbed Ji-young by the face and kissed her.
Whoops. If this is enough, there must be some guys who give up because they can’t see a chance to intervene because they’re a sweet couple kissing in front of everyone else?!
“Cute.”
Realizing what I was thinking of kissing her, Ji-young said with a bright smile that her expression, which had been dying until earlier, went away, and this time Ji-young bent down to kiss her and opened her mouth again. .
“I’ll be back.”
As a freshman representative… What was it? Oath? Anyway, Ji-young, who went up to the podium to do something that seemed meaningless, received the falling lights from above, and her already beautiful face began to shine even more.
“Oath.”
Her clear and refreshing voice rang out and filled this wide space. I just swore an oath, but countless men and women have fallen in love with my proud girlfriend.
“Great job.”
“What’s the hardship?”
Ji-young, who came back to my side, told me that she had a hard time, and she said a few words to her, but she smiled as if asking if she felt the hardship.
And the really meaningless things that follow.
After Ji-young’s oath, the entrance ceremony came to an end only 20 minutes later.

“I guess we are that bus.”
A bus caught my eye with a piece of paper with the name of the department I entered.
Maybe that’s the bus we should take.
“Hun-ah. Let’s sit here.”
“Ah Okay.”
After getting on the bus, passing by the people who had already taken their seats, Ji-young said to sit in the middle seat, pulling my arm as I was moving my habitually unstoppable steps towards the back seat.
Even in high school, when we got on a bus like this, we naturally sat in the back seat.
Of course, since I started dating Ji-young, Ji-young always had a fixed seat at the back of her, and after she started dating, she, along with me, sat in her back seat.
Anyway, even now, if you sit in the back seat, there is a greater risk of being photographed by seniors who have been unintentionally filmed.
Maybe you think like this
What is that bastard that sits over there? Aren’t you a freshman? You’re bold, kid. Etc.
It’s all my subjective thoughts, but I was able to guess that Jiyoung had similar thoughts just by asking to sit in the middle instead of the back of her.
“Hello~! Your name is… Jiyoung, right?”
A woman sat right next to us.
She is a freshman who approached and greeted Ji-young before her entrance ceremony began.
“Yes. Jiyoung is right.”
“I remembered it right. I’m Lee Da-hye. I’m 20 years old. Ah. Are you over 21 by any chance?”
Unlike high school, in college, even if you were in the same freshman year, your age was vastly different.
On average, there is a difference of one or two years, but there were times when an elderly woman who had lived a quarter of her life longer was sitting in the classroom wearing a first-year name tag, and taking that into consideration, Da-hye Da-hye carefully asked her questions.
However, Lee Da-hye’s appearance was quite ordinary, and her figure was not particularly outstanding, so I would have asked Ji-young, but she seemed to have no interest in her at all for this reason, sitting by the window and watching the people getting on the bus. I was busy, so I answered instead.
“Since we’re both 20 years old, speak comfortably.”
“That’s right?”
He replied with an expression as if asking why the man sitting next to him continued to answer.
“What are you two doing?”
Am I asking because I don’t know?
Or maybe it’s just that we haven’t really seen each other kissing in public.
That’s right, I did that in front of everyone else, but it was normal to think that it was between lovers.
“Can’t you just look at it?”
“…”
“…”
All you have to do is say one word.
Jiyoung said in a sharp tone, as if asking if she had to ask.
Still looking out of her window.
Haha. Right? It suits you so well.”
“Tsk…”
They are female students in the same department, the same age, and even have a friendly personality. He could be a good friend to Ji-young, who doesn’t have a single friend of hers, but she’s just throwing her temper away and pushing away the girl who approaches her, so it wasn’t a very good sight for me as a boyfriend.
Still, I drew a smile.
Because, it seemed that he was offended by the fact that he never thought that the man who was me would be his boyfriend.
“You feel… Bad?”
“…”
“I’m sorry. I’ll apologize.”
“…”
Jiyoung didn’t answer.
He seemed to be in a bad mood today, but Lee Da-hye’s words became the decisive blow, and anger rose, so he didn’t even want to mix her words.
At first glance, he seems like a good kid, but I thought that I should be the stepping stone for the two of them to get closer. The moment I was about to say something while laughing awkwardly.
“Are you rich?”
A man who couldn’t be found nervous at all like a freshman approached and asked if he had a lot of money.
What. This person.
I felt a little bad.
Still, since he looks like a senior, he must be proud.
“No.”
“Are you living well at home?”
“It’s not that I can’t live.”
“Common?”
“Yes.”
“What are you good at?”
“Yes? Why is that?”
If I listened to it from a woman, I would think she has a crush on me. Hearing it from a man makes me feel bad.
“I’m not handsome or rich, so why are you dating me?”
This time, I asked not at me, but at Jiyoung.
“…”
Only then did Jiyoung take her eyes off her window and turn her head away.
“Isn’t it prettier seeing it up close?”
He’s cool He smiled and waved his hand softly.
Swoop.
Jiyoung turned her head again and looked at her window.
“Hmm…?”
He awkwardly shook her hand. To be precise, she tilted her head while caressing the luxury brand watch on her wrist.
“A childhood friend?”
Came back to me
“No. We first met in high school.”
It must be that Jiyoung and I don’t get along enough to ask openly like this.
Honestly, if I were in someone else’s shoes, I’d be the same.
By the way… By the way. Can’t you just leave us alone for a bit? I’m slowly starting to get annoyed.
“Haa… Annoying. Really.”
A deep sigh came from the seat next to me.
“I confessed first. It was love at first sight. Why? Is it strange?”
“No. It’s nothing strange.”
He clearly looks a bit taken aback by Ji-young’s straightforward words and explains that he is not, but he must be thinking differently inside his words.
“Really? That’s very fortunate. There were a lot of bastards who would say all sorts of bullshit about me, saying that I’m dating Hoon, that I’m being threatened by Hoon, or that I have a lot of money.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Hehe… I hope everyone does.”
Whoops.
Jiyoung ended his words with a very charming smile.
Oh my goodness. So cool.
“That, that… Ha, ha ha.”
His spirit was suppressed, and he moved his steps as if he was running away and headed to the back seat, and the bus was when all the students participating in OT had gathered. Only then did it start moving.
