Chapter 466 – Chapter 466. University 2nd Year 1st Semester -12
I left the lecture room with my cell phone for a while, opened the door on the side of the lecture room, and went out to receive a call from the emergency stairs.
“Hello?”
-How are you?
Siwon Han asked me.
Rather than being curious about how they actually get along, it could be said to be a kind of friendship and emotional expression.
“Well, that’s okay.”
-Do you have an appointment for lunch today? I want to have a cup of coffee together.
“No, nothing really.”
-Okay? Then can we meet today?
I accepted Siwon Han’s offer to meet during the day and have a cup of coffee.
If it’s a coincidence, it’s a coincidence.
While she was eating her toast, she was flipping through her old photos, and when she saw her 1:00 one picture, she remembered her, and just like this, she got a call from her again.
I finished the phone call with Han Siwon and went back to the classroom.
After waiting for a while, the professor came and listened to the lecture.
1st and 2nd period.
After listening to that lecture, I go to another classroom and listen to the 3rd and 4th periods.
The lectures were the same as always.
Concepts that can be used in my real life need to be studied separately besides what I learn in lectures.
Most of the lectures are just knowledge that has no meaning beyond academic.
However, you have to do those things well to get grades, and grades remain for life, so you have to manage them again.
When I was in middle school and high school, I thought that when I became an adult and went to university, it would be a day for me to actively acquire knowledge in my field of expertise through an active process.
A little different from that, the credits were as graded, and the practical knowledge about majors that could be used in reality was as it is, so I had to do both.
Besides that, I had to prepare a lot of certifications.
Still, I didn’t feel that much pressure about those things.
The reason was because I had to go to the army.
It’s not completely playable though.
To some extent, even before enlisting in the army, you should do it.
When I go to the army, the flow of things I have been preparing for is completely cut off, so I usually do things like specs that I need to prepare after I am discharged from the military, and before that, I try to manage credits or acquire qualifications that can be acquired in a short period of time.
The full-fledged work will be done after the campaign anyway.
After listening to the lectures of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th periods in the morning, it should be around 1:00, but the soft lectures finish 30 to 20 minutes earlier, so the time was slightly past 12:30.
After listening to the lecture, the people who listened to the lecture together talk one by one.
“Jinhyuk, would you like to have lunch together?”
“We’re going to eat now, let’s go together!”
When it’s time to eat, female classmates from here and there try to eat with me.
This is often the case with classmates who are of the same age and went to school together, so they have a certain level of friendship.
Or, even if it’s not a case of asking to go to a meal together after attending a lecture, there are quite a few calls asking if it’s possible to have a meal together via cell phone.
Whether you ask directly or by phone, it is usually said that there is a moderate amount of prior arrangements.
If you try to accept everything, you don’t know how long your meal reservation will be delayed.
“Haha, I have an appointment today, so I’ll go first.”
I mean, the female classmates regret that the chances of having a meal with me aren’t that high.
“Let’s eat together with our classmates once in a while~.”
“Do you and your girlfriend eat together every day?”
I packed my bags and answered them before I got up and started walking.
“It’s not necessarily like that, but I have a prior arrangement. I’ll contact you next time~.”
In fact, sometimes I even contact them first and have them eat.
It’s hard to have a meal together often because so many women contact me.
Even when dating Song Eun-chae, it is not easy to have a meal together at lunchtime.
Because Song Eun-chae and I have different departments and our timetables are not all the same, so we had lunch together because the lectures ended at different times, the buildings where the lectures ended were far away, or the schedules for the next lectures were different. More often than not, we ate dinner together.
Now that I’m broken with Song Eun-chae, I won’t eat with Song Eun-chae for lunch or dinner.
Many of the female students who were about to eat with me greeted me with regret.
“Yeah~, call me~!”
“Goodbye~!”
“Oh, eat delicious rice~!”
I responded to their greetings with a smile and a wave, then left the building where the lecture was held.
While walking, I got on the phone with Han Siwon.
“Where are you?”
-I’m almost at the front door now~.
“I’ll go there as well.”
It’s been a while since I met Siwon Han.
Seeing it for the first time in a while made me feel different.
It was even more so because he met her right after breaking up with her girlfriend.
– Jeobeok, Jeobuck…
I thought about her as I headed towards her front door, her meeting point.
Han Si-won seems to live a busy life while studying and working at the same time.
I’ve met women who draw pictures once, so I know that’s a fairly time-consuming task.
When she usually draws webtoons, the pictures look a bit like real cartoons.
However, when she did paint properly, she often drew landscapes, still lifes, and characters that looked quite artistic.
To me, a non-professional, it seems like I don’t show all my skills when drawing cartoons, but I think it could be because it’s a drawing in a different field.
In any case, she found her own work at a fairly early age.
Perhaps she would have found such a job at a much earlier time than now.
It can be said that she found something she could do with a certain enthusiasm that someone else might not find in their late 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or maybe even their whole life, since her school days.
That’s why she started drawing her pictures as a job when she was 20 years old, but I don’t think that kind of thing happened overnight.
She has been drawing her picture for quite some time, and those times have made her who she is now.
Sometimes I want to find something like that too.
The piano I played as a child.
Maybe for me it was something like her picture for her?
On the piano, I had a talent of my own.
I did well.
I progressed faster than the other kids, and once in the middle of practice and once when it was completed, the teacher pointed out small correction points to me one by one, but other than that, there was nothing particularly obstructed.
However, it was so outstanding and superior that a scout from Russia came and asked me to go study abroad, but it wasn’t that much.
Just to the extent that they do better than everyone else at the academy.
And above all, there was also something that I hadn’t been to the point where playing the piano was so incredibly immersive and immersed in it like crazy.
I think if you want to do something other than general work, you must have the ability to immerse yourself in it.
It’s not that salarymen aren’t applicable, but the feeling is slightly different.
This is because there is a difference between belonging to an existing force and digging the ground alone.
There is competition in every field in this world.
There, people compete in good faith.
No matter which field you go to, you are holding an established foundation, and there are people with excellent skills or high experience.
I think it may be a little difficult if you are not able to fully immerse yourself in the field if you are to compete with such people.
So I feel sorry for choosing to study rather than play the piano, but it’s hard to say that it’s such a huge regret.
I was relatively good at playing the piano, but I was able to achieve a certain level of achievement in passively learning at the academy, but not to the extent that I could just go mad.
When I arrived at the front gate with such thoughts, Han Siwon was standing there.
“Ah, Jinhyeok~.”
Han Siwon smiled and looked at me.
Siwon has a slightly luxurious atmosphere.
Do you feel like the daughter of a calm rich family?
Her smile, which has not changed much, is somehow welcome.
She was wearing a dress, a long one with a regular pattern.
“Oh, Siwon. Did you wait?”
“Ugh~, it’s been a while since I came.”
She shook her head.
His face had a calm smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
“Jinhyuk-ah, but~”
“Hmm.”
“Why don’t we have a drink instead of a meal?”
“Oh, well, that’s okay.”
Originally, it might be a bit strange to ask for a drink instead of lunch in the middle of the day.
However, since I am attending university, this may not be strange.
One of the things I realized while going to college was that people actually drink a lot more than I thought.
If you look around, there are students who drink for more than 20 days in a row, and drinking during the day is less frequent than at night, but there are quite a few people who drink during the day.
At Siwon Han’s suggestion, I went to have a drink during the day.
Come to think of it, it was like she and her drink were drinking for the first time.
The place we went together was a collection of houses not far from the main gate.
Along with jeon, there are also various side dishes on the menu, such as noodles or cockles, but there were some people besides us who had already come to have a drink during the day.
The seats get tighter at night, but since it was during the day, there were still plenty of seats left, and only a few people were occupied.
We ordered Jeon, and after a while we hung out over a large seafood pancake and makgeolli while drinking.
“Um, what’s up? Isn’t this the first time you’ve asked me out for a drink?”
“Is it?”
Han Siwon tilted his head.
Then, as if nothing had happened, I raised a glass of makgeolli.
I, too, raised her glass, and we toasted her and drank.
Siwon didn’t finish the glass, but after drinking most of the first glass, he ate seafood and green onion pancakes.
I also ate her snack with her.
And then she talked to me
“I think I wanted to change my mood today. I haven’t had much time in the meantime.”
It seemed to be an answer to the question I asked about why I asked for a drink during the day.
“Are you still doing it?”
“Huh.”
“How’s it going?”
“Ah, the income is slightly lower than the cartoon I drew at the beginning, but I think I can catch up if I work more to make it about 2 times the previous 1.5 times.”
It seemed that there was a difference in income depending on the work.
And people, originally, are beings who want to develop more in the future than in the past.
She, too, naturally wants her future self to be better than her past self, so it seemed that she was trying to be better than her previous works.
“Don’t go so far as to stress out. We’re still young.”
“Huh, it’s not like that.”
After answering that, she took a mouthful of seafood and green onion pancakes and drank the rest of the makgeolli all the way.
She put her glass down and said.
“But… I want to do this. Regardless of my age, I want to see more results in what I do. The school I am attending now doesn’t seem to have any meaning to me. It doesn’t work as well as before, but I’m still working hard, but sometimes I want to get some fresh air like this.”
“Um~.”
I nodded.
She was different from me
I didn’t really want to do anything.
After I go to the army, I will get a job like everyone else does, and I will earn money.
Compared to me, I suddenly thought that Han Siwon was a bit more mature.
“From what I can see, you’re already doing well, why?”
“Is it.”
“Huh.”
I continued.
“It’s usually like that. Most of my peers are more likely to drink or play games all day long. Even I have more licenses than average, but you’re far ahead of me, right? Don’t worry too much.”
When I said that, Siwon Han quietly smiled.
“Thank you.”
“Yeah, well. While we’re out to get some fresh air, let’s have a proper drink.”
“Yeah. Hoho, that’s what I was originally going to say.”
She held out her glass of makgeolli cutely with both hands, and I filled her glass.
