Chapter 240 – Chapter 240. Study Today Is Peaceful
Sang-won hyung kept getting more numbers on the lottery paper.
“There’s also 45 here…”
The palm-sized paper was filled with black numbers.
The lottery numbers were 5 lines on each paper, and besides that, there were many strange numbers and alphabets up and down.
Sang-won hyung focused on that.
But when I looked at the lottery papers with Sang-won looking at the numbers one by one next to me, it seemed like it was already wrong.
When compared with the winning numbers, it was found that a very small number of lottery paper numbers on the paper Lee Sang-won had matched.
‘The analysis doesn’t seem right.’
Still, the fact that something came out was interesting.
Whether it’s taking a test or watching a lottery match like now, the fact that something will see the result has its own interesting side, regardless of the success of the result.
-Sue…
Alone, I put my arms folded comfortably on the table, leaning slightly towards Sang-won to watch him guess the numbers.
Not long after, when Sangwon hyung tried to guess all five lottery papers, he could see that he hadn’t even won the last place, let alone the first place he had longed for.
“Ah! Mr.”
Sang-won Lee Hyung rubbed his head and expressed regret for his behavior.
It’s a pity, but all 5 lottery papers became garbage.
Sang-won hyung touched his own head as if he felt sorry for him, then looked at me while holding his head with one hand and spoke.
“Ugh… Jinhyeok. Isn’t it such a waste? Look at this. Five numbers came in.”
“Hmm…”
I listened to Sangwon hyung’s words and looked at the lottery papers on the table again.
Unlike the first time, now Sang-won has circled the numbers that match the winning number with a blue pen, so I could understand them better at a glance.
‘Five.’
As Lee Sang-won said, 5 numbers were correct, but there was no such thing as 5 numbers entered at the same time on the same paper, let alone on the same line.
The fact that 5 out of 6 numbers that Lee Sang-won said was taken means that 5 numbers were taken out of the total.
Of the 5 tickets Sangwon bought, totaling 25,000 won, 5 numbers came in…
If it’s a waste, is it a waste?
If those 5 numbers didn’t come out over 5 pages, but on one page, and even on one line, it would be a win, as the Senate brother said.
‘If you look at it that way, everyone in the country would be a pity, but…’
And really strangely, not even two numbers in one row were correct.
Almost all of them were 0, and some lines were 1.
Since there are 5 cards of 5 each, I thought how could there be no 2 cards even though there are 25 games in total?
As far as I know, there is a minimum prize of 5,000 won from then on when three numbers are correct, but there was no such thing.
However, Lee Hyung Sang, after rubbing his eyes roughly with the palm of his hand, still spoke his words as if expressing his indomitable will.
“Ah, next time I’ll really get first place. This time I’m almost there, but I didn’t have much luck, and I got 5 right this time, so I’ll go for 6 next time.”
Sang-won Lee hyung seemed quite resolute.
According to this atmosphere, it seemed that Sang-won hyung would do research in another exercise book, just as he diligently used the exercise book he used while doing analysis before.
It was a time when I, Sang-won hyung, and the lottery were paying attention.
Suddenly, someone appeared from the side and put a hand on Sangwon’s shoulder.
‘Hmm?’
I was a little surprised.
When I looked back, it was Hye-na noona.
Seeing Hye-na noona, Sang-won hyung seemed more surprised than me.
“Ah, it’s Hyena!”
“Brother, did you play the lottery again? He said he’s quitting.”
Hyena’s older sister appeared like an assassin from the side of the Sangwon Lee Hyung and gave her word.
‘You’re doing it secretly.’
I felt like I knew why Sangwon hyung talked so quickly as if he was being chased when he was talking to me about the principles of lottery research.
If it was the same as when we met separately in the lottery room like before, we could have talked about the principles of more profound research.
Hye-na noona scolded Sang-won hyung, and at her words, Sang-won hyung answered by taking lottery papers.
“Joe, just a little bit, just a little bit.”
There was nowhere to be seen that I was full of bravado and that I would win first place right away.
Hye-na noona shook her head and sat down next to her older brother Sang-won.
Then she continued to talk to him while holding the hand of Lee Hyung-won, who was collecting her lottery papers.
“Oops~, you bought a lot. How much is all this? One, two, three, four, five… Isn’t it worth 25,000 won?”
Hye-na noona looked at Sang-won’s face and said more.
“I’ll use that money to make pasta with Gorgonzola. Why are you throwing away so much money?”
Hye-na noona seemed to not understand Sang-won.
Sang-won Lee hyung put her lotto papers in and spoke her words, avoiding her sister Hye-na’s gaze.
“Ah~, I only did a little bit~. I had some pocket money left anyway.”
“There’s no such thing as throwing away just because there’s something left over. I won’t tell you if I do it as a hobby once in a while. How much do you spend on lottery tickets?”
‘Hmm…’
Seeing Hyena noona’s reaction, Sangwon hyung seemed to have lived by buying more lottery tickets than I thought.
Sangwon hyung’s voice grew more and more creepy.
“No… If you win 1st place, you will receive over 1 billion…”
Sang-won hyung was in trouble.
Some time passed, and other study members came to our side.
Aside from the three of us, there were three more people to come, including Eunhee noona, Yoongyeongie, and Hochangie.
The three of them came in together as if they had met.
“Hello~!”
“Hello~.”
“Hello.”
The three came and said hello, and we also greeted them.
“Hello~.”
“Hello~.”
Because they all came together and the six study members gathered in one place and there were more people, somehow it seemed to fit better with the noisy atmosphere of this fast food restaurant.
After everyone got together, we started studying.
At other times, there were still members who would buy and eat muffins, which are often on the morning menu, but none of them ordered because they were not hungry.
Even if there was a seat, I didn’t buy anything and thought it might be a nuisance, so I thought about buying something to eat.
“Brother, didn’t you say there were a lot of masks when we ran into each other in front of you?”
“Uh?”
“I think all three of you who came first didn’t have masks, so I think it’s okay to give you the masks you tried to give us earlier?”
I was about to eat a muffin, but when Yoon-gyeong’s words continued to Ho-chang, I was curious, so I decided to stay a little longer.
‘The mask you were going to give us? Hmm… Ah…’
Hearing that, I knew what had happened.
It seemed that Yoon-kyung and Eun-hee noona met first, and on the way, they met near Hochang-do, where they were almost at a fast-food restaurant.
And Ho-chang seemed to be trying to give Yun-kyung her mask.
But it seemed that he hadn’t received it.
All three older sisters Hochang, Yoonkyung, and Eunhee were wearing masks.
So when Ho-chang tried to give Yoon-gyeong a mask, it might not have meant much since he was already wearing it.
‘There is no other tree that gives generously.’
There are many cases like that.
Not interested… No, there are cases where a woman who seems to have no possibility to go further tries to offer anything just because she is beautiful.
I don’t see that as desirable for that.
If you become a more valuable person, you will rather become a man who can be offered a gift, but in the opposite case, when you meet people around you, you see that everyone around you just gives it as a tribute, and then breaks up shortly after.
In a serious case, one of my friends gave it to him because his ex-girlfriend told him that it wasn’t her birthday yet, but she gave her a necklace she bought for her birthday.
It doesn’t make much sense to me.
I think it would be better to take even the smallest steps forward to become a more valuable person.
As I was thinking about that, Ho-chang answered Yoon-gyeong, scratching her head.
“No, this mask doesn’t have a long lifespan, so I’m going to use all of these and use more. You never know when the Wuhan pneumonia will end.”
Ho-chang gave a plausible answer, but in the end, it was like saying that it would be worth giving her mask to Yoon-gyeong, but that it would be a waste for her to give it to me, Sang-won Lee, and Hye-na.
Hochang took out a book from his bag while wearing a mask.
When I saw Hochang like that, I smiled a little and thought.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate.’
It was not a pity that I wanted a mask.
It was only because I thought Hochang’s tactics were a bit disappointing.
My thoughts were this.
Humans are social animals.
Any person has no choice but to have a little more liking for someone else who is recognized in the society they belong to.
For example, if it is a university… In the case of the same man, if he is a senior in his later years or has a good reputation for doing well in his department, and if he is an outsider with grades at the bottom every time, the conditions can be significantly different when trying to date a woman in these two cases. I’m sure there is.
If I were in Ho-chang’s position, if I was going to target Yun-gyeong, instead of confessing to Eun-hee, I would have made a good impression on her to improve her reputation, and I would have tried to plant a decent image for Sang-won and Hye-na.
If the girl you like is on your side, it’s like having powerful allies in a war.
In my case, I’m a visual thug anyway, so most of those tactics won’t do you any good.
However, after meeting many beauties, I naturally thought about it a little.
On the other hand, it was like playing a game like the so-called ‘black cow battle royale’ where Ho-chang only thought about how he could dedicate his wealth to Yoon-gyeong more than anyone else.
What really surprised me was that there were so many fucking cases like that around me than I thought.
After everyone gathered, the study began.
The study went on peacefully, as it had on other occasions.
Today, in the vocabulary study that followed earlier, I got this volume right, and it was Sang-won hyung’s turn in the study of short English reading and grammar lectures taking turns.
Sang-won hyung seemed to have tremendous analytical power when analyzing lottery tickets, but when he was giving an English lecture, he stuttered a lot as if he had skimmed through it once.
Anyway, the study went well.
Since it is a study meeting that continues every day, it seems that something has been organized, and it seemed to go on smoothly.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Goodbye~.”
Everyone said hello to each other and we were going to go our separate ways of studying.
I was going to go to the private study room at the academy to study.
It was then.
Yoon-kyung took down her new-looking, stiff white mask for a while and then cheerfully started talking to me as if something surprising had happened.
“Oh, brother, did you see that? Wait a minute, brother, I have something to show you.”
Yoon-kyung said that and she naturally came to the seat next to me.
While Yoon-kyung was talking to me, people one by one packed their things and got up from the table where they were seated.
Yoon-gyeong said she had something to show me, and she turned on her cell phone.
It was like opening a photo album.
And did she find what she was looking for?
“This. It looks like it came out on the weekend. Oppa, have you seen it already?”
“What?”
I looked at her phone from the seat next to her, displaying her own cell phone towards me.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘Uh?’
On the mobile phone that Yoon-kyung showed her, there was a printout of the back check for the academy mock test she had taken a while ago.
‘Unbelievable!’
