Chapter 482 – Chapter 482. University 2nd Year 1st Semester -28
“Brother, would you like to sit here?”
While taking a walk in the park, Ji-Eun took a seat in the pavilion first, smiled and motioned for me to sit next to her.
“Ah, yes.”
While answering Jieun’s words, I went to sit next to her.
A light breeze blew.
The day itself was on the warm side, but it was close to spring weather, and as I came under the pavilion, which was shaded by the roof, it felt good to see a little breeze blowing under the shade.
More than that wish itself, maybe it was because I liked spending time with Park Ji-eun.
Several people passed by even as we settled down under the pavilion and started to get some fresh air.
It was a park within walking distance of the university, so most of us looked like college students.
In a typical park, there might be a lot of aunts and grandfathers who came out to exercise, but the population composition seemed to be like this due to the fact that there was a university nearby.
In addition to university students, there were rare occasions when family members went on outings, but even office workers seemed to take a vacation and come to play with their families on weekdays.
Park Ji-eun breathed in the wind and looked at the scenery all the way to the side of the pavilion and said her words.
“Really good~.”
“Hmm.”
I also thought that the current situation was good, so I agreed to Park Ji-eun’s words, and Park Ji-eun looked around the wide park and looked at me again.
“Does your brother like this too?”
“Like what?”
“It’s kind of quiet like this. Getting out of the city I’m used to.”
“Hmm~.”
I thought for a moment.
And she answered Park Ji-eun.
“I like both. The city is fine, and the nature is fine.”
“Which of the two do you like better?”
“It may change depending on my mood, but I like the city better now.”
I continued.
“When I walk around the streets of the university district with flashing signboards at night, it is cool to see the noise and the many people coming and going. I also want to be a part of the scenery.”
When I was in school, I longed for the city.
It was the city where I went to school when I was in middle and high school, and the university is also in the city center.
But it feels different.
In school days, even if you are in the city, most of the traffic lines are organized, such as home, school, and academy.
So even if you are in the city, you don’t have much time to look around.
When I was a student, I spent a lot of time at school, and the rest of the time, whether at the academy or at home, was mostly buried in books.
Even though I was in the city, I couldn’t enjoy the city.
However, things have changed since I went to university.
While I am in the city, I get to enjoy many things in the city.
Numerous shops that were invisible before I became a free person became quite visible after I became an adult.
It didn’t look good in the past.
At night, people gather tightly in noisy pubs and other pubs, and various bars explode, a woman going to work at a modern bar with the shutters open and going in to work, and hunting at a hunting bar…
It wasn’t until I became an adult that I learned in earnest the many things that alcohol and sex between men and women were connected to.
When I was in middle school and high school, I really studied hard, so even then there were beauties chasing me, but I wanted to go to a good university anyway, so like many other friends during school days, I also studied as much as possible regardless of the amount of experience. Tried to do it.
And in return for studying hard at that time, I was able to go to a decent university and enjoy it.
If you work hard at something, it still feels like the reward comes back to some extent.
When you enter a university, there is a side that can be seen as a reward for the hard work you have done during your school days already by entering a good university.
However, the sweet water will drain after a certain amount of time with admission alone.
Substitution is a gateway.
It is not an endpoint.
I think the final destination might not be the company.
Whether you have a decent education or no education at all, if you have good skills, you can enter a place called a company.
And if I get into that company, I might be able to enjoy this city in another way.
When I talked about the city, Park Ji-eun nodded her head coolly and said,
“Ah, I think I know how it feels.”
“Why, didn’t Ji-eun like you that way too? Seeing her wearing see-through clothes at the club, it seems a bit like that.”
“Hohoho! Oppa~! Forget about that time! That day was the first and last time I went to the club!”
When I quietly teased Park Ji-eun, she answered me with a smile.
And I played some more of her pranks on her.
“Well, I don’t remember it well, right? At that time, the author seemed to be quite popular.”
“Ah, brother~!”
Playing in the pavilion, I didn’t notice the time passing.
Even though I prefer the city because of the warm sunlight and shade from the pavilion, I wanted to spend more time relaxing with Park Ji-eun at the pavilion in this pleasant park before going back.
During the enjoyable conversations, Park Ji-eun also asked me about things that worried me a little.
“Brother. But… Is it really okay?”
“What?”
“Anyway, oppa is very popular with my classmates and my older sisters, so I think I might get jealous if the word that I’m starting to meet him is known.”
“If anyone bothers you, tell me anytime. I’ll take care of it.”
“But…”
“If such a case arises, even if it seems unlikely, I’d better go ahead and say something.”
“Thank you, brother.”
“Thank you.”
From what I’ve seen, sometimes it’s hard to believe that one person at a time can clearly control their emotions.
In that case, even though I know it shouldn’t be the case, I might end up hurting Park Ji-eun by meeting another woman whom she likes.
After playing in her park for some time, I walked back to her park with Jieun Park and asked her if there were any other places she wanted to go with her.
“Shall we go get something to eat?”
“Is that so? Oppa, in front of me, there’s something like a traditional teahouse. Do you want to go there with me?”
“OK.”
After leaving the park, I went to a traditional tea house as Park Ji-eun told me to go.
I ordered Omija tea.
And Park Ji-eun ordered rooibos tea.
“What is rooibos?”
“It must be some kind of tea?”
“Oh yeah?”
I don’t know what it is, but if each of us had a drink we wanted, that’s it.
After ordering and chatting a little, the teas we ordered came out.
And we talked while drinking tea.
“Brother, it’s so nice to come to the park with you.”
“I’m glad.”
I continued.
“Let’s come out like this once in a while.”
“Great!”
While drinking tea, Park Ji-eun said that it was good to take a walk together while looking at a park with a good view.
“Going to campus, going to places worth taking a walk like this, going to eateries.”
“Yes~.”
After taking a walk, I hung out at a tea house with Park Ji-eun.
So, the sun went down before I knew it.
It took quite a bit of time to go back and forth slowly while enjoying the scenery while taking a walk, and talking and playing with Park Ji-eun at the teahouse also passed quickly.
So, after leaving the tea house, the sun was almost set.
Drinks were next.
Park Ji-eun and I went to a bar.
“Oppa! Today, we really run to the end together!”
“Hey, what are you going to do? Let’s just have one bottle today.”
“Only one bottle?”
“The last time we drank a lot, you said you looked really tired that day. Didn’t you know how much you drank at that time?”
“Ho-ho, that’s right.”
“But, oppa, would you be okay? Drinking just one bottle?”
“I’ll just eat that much to suit you.”
In the raucous atmosphere of the bar, where a large number of people, from two or three to five or six or more, gathered together and had fun, we, like them, talked loudly and laughed and had fun while drinking.
“Brother, I’m good at organizing the house where I live, so I can make a place for you to put hangers on. The house is a bit small~, but I think we’ll be able to stay together, right?”
“Ah, I’ll take a look at the situation and consider it again. Alright!”
“Tada~!”
