Chapter 490 – Graduation (2)
February 27, 2020.
The scenery of Alternative University was a little different from usual. It hadn’t even started yet, but people were coming in. And the clothes of the brightly smiling people were mostly the same.
Black gown and bachelor cap.
Today was the day of the graduation ceremony of the alternative university.
“Ugh. Ha Yeon-ah, Ji-kyung.”
Professor Kim Joo-yeon called the names of the two with a sad expression. Soon, she held each other’s hands with both hands and proposed again and again.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go to graduate school? If it’s because of strange rumors, I want to tell you not to worry. Today is very different from the old days.”
Professor Kim Joo-yeon wanted to bring Jung Ha-yeon and Yu Ji-kyung under her somehow. During her tenure as a university professor, she had never seen students so enthusiastic about their studies. These two women, who ranked first and second in her department her side by side, were her students whom she truly cared about.
Jeong Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-kyung rejected the professor’s offer with awkward smiles. I have already forgotten how many times I have been rejected.
“Sorry, Professor. Like I said…….”
“We have something we want to do separately.”
“I can’t help it…….”
Professor Kim Joo-yeon said sadly and nodded her head. It was her last offer a little while ago.
“Congratulations on graduating, both of you. See you later in the auditorium.”
“Yes, Professor.”
“Thank you so far.”
“Okay. Oh, if you ever change your mind…….”
“Professor, my family is waiting for me, so I’ll go now!”
“See you later!”
Jeong Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-kyung left the lab as if they were running away.
Soon after, the two of them came out and laughed awkwardly and slapped each other.
“Ugh, it’s finally graduation.”
“It was really boring! You don’t know how many times I wanted to drop out!”
“Ahaha. Can I just join Novell Dice?”
“Yes. If Seok-chan hadn’t told me to graduate properly, I would have dropped out right away.”
“What, are you already an employee now? They took care of a lot of convenience there.”
“That’s right.”
Yoo Ji-kyung said that when she was in her 3rd year, she went on field training with Nobel Dies, and as soon as she was in her 4th year, she applied for a job and joined the company. Thanks to Nobel Dice’s support her for her, she was able to go to school and work relatively freely, and she was able to catch both rabbits.
“Didn’t you say that after that unnie graduated, she would go on a trip? First of all, did she say she was Japanese?”
“Yes. She thinks she will be in Japan for a while. And she went to China and then to the US to go around a bit too. She wants to learn the everyday language spoken locally.”
“My sister is also really suffering from buying things. While she is still working as a great freelance translator.”
Yoo Ji-kyung exaggeratedly shrugged her shoulders and praised Jeong Ha-yeon.
Jeong Ha-yeon said that in her last three years, she has learned three foreign languages: English, Japanese and Chinese. She was she and she was already quite recognized in her industry as she had translated several novels.
But she was never complacent. With an attitude of constant learning, she was now studying Italian.
“You know because you read the novel written by Joo-hwan. Isn’t it very difficult to convey his sentences in another language?”
“So you’re translating novels by easy-going writers first?”
“Write. Won’t you speak nicely, raccoon? I get scolded.”
“Kyaaak! Only one person can call me a raccoon!”
“Aww! You were really going to bite me!”
Jeong Ha-yeon freaked out and pulled her hand out of her. In an instant, Yoo Ji-gyeong’s teeth touched her.
As if it was a joke, Yoo Ji-kyung ran down the hallway with her tongue sticking out her tongue. I saw familiar faces in front of me.
“It’s Sua and Joohee!”
“Jigyeong ah! Hayeon Unning!”
While Han Soo-ah waved her hand her happily, Seo Joo-hee stepped back with her frightened face when she saw Yoo Ji-gyeong running towards her.
“Wow! Don’t run! Shua shield!”
“Ehh?!”
Han Soo-ah, who was pushed forward by her, got entangled with Yu Ji-gyeong.
As if Seo Joo-hee was barely alive, she went up to Jeong Ha-yeon, wiping her forehead.
“Hayeon unnie, congratulations on graduating.”
“Thank you.”
“Eh. It’s my first year, so I don’t know why it feels so big. I also want to graduate soon.”
“Ahaha. I heard that you are the senior in the third year now? I’ll congratulate you next year.”
Han Soo-ah and Seo Joo-hee are one-year juniors of the two and will be in the fourth grade this year.
“Come to think of it, what are you going to do? Are you going to enter Nobel Dice in the employment world like Jikyung?”
“I am a little worried. Will you be a Witube editor or a Nobel Dice PR team? In fact, it’s better to manage your income on Witube.”
Seo Joo-hee made a circle with her thumb and forefinger. Han Sua’s Witube has become a large channel with 1.3 million subscribers. Of course, Seo Joo-hee, who had been with her since her early days her, had to pay differently.
However, she also had a desire to live a corporate life apart from money. Should she say that she wants to try more diverse things? Having a stable job also helped.
At that time, Han Soo-ah approached and said.
“Juhee is mine! Don’t run away!”
“Who is yours! Am I my Deokhun oppa’s?”
“OMG. Joohee is a complete chicken!”
Seo Ju-hee and Jang Deok-hun, who had been dating for four years this year, were still roasting sesame seeds. They were also the only unbroken campus couple in the department.
Yoo Ji-kyung looked around and asked.
“Come to think of it, what about Deokhun?”
“My brother is in the bathroom… Oh, it’s out. Honey, here!”
When Seo Joo-hee waved her hand, she approached with a big smile on her face.
Jang Deok-hoon greeted Jeong Ha-yeon with unchanging courtesy.
“Sister, did you finally escape? Or go to graduate school?”
“Hey. Don’t sound terrible I will never go to graduate school.”
“Uh ha ha. Working in the lab suits you well too.”
“This! Deokhoonie, these days, you’re polite only in your way of speaking. You are becoming more and more like Seo Joo-hwan.”
“Oh, really? Thank you for the compliment.”
“Isn’t that a compliment?”
“Sister! What kind of curse words are you talking about someone else’s boyfriend!”
Unlike Jang Deok-hoon, who accepted it as a compliment, Seo Ju-hee reacted violently.
Jeong Ha-yeon laughed in vain, and she asked.
“Juhee, so what about your brother? Joo-hwan still can’t reach him?”
“I don’t know. You’ll be able to get in touch with your sister better than me, right?”
Seo Ju-hee pursed her lips. She said that she and Seo Joo-hwan were good siblings in their own way, but they did not communicate often.
At Seo Joo-hee’s words, Jeong Ha-yeon, Yoo Ji-kyung, and Han Soo-ah’s expressions were momentarily regrettable.
“Looks like you’re still in Italy…….”
This is Seo Joo-hwan, who has been active in various fields after graduation and continued a busy life. Thanks to this, the time he spends with him has significantly decreased compared to when he was in college. It’s been over a month since I have n’t seen her face in her.
I was on my way to the building where the graduation ceremony was going to be held. Somehow I heard people groaning.
“What? Did any celebrities come?”
As I looked, people’s eyes were on one side. The gaze of the party also returned to the place where their attention was focused.
“Uh?”
“Oh!”
“Wow! You said you couldn’t come, but you came!”
Jung Ha-yeon and her companions her shouted in surprise. Those who received the gaze of the people smiled widely and waved their hands.
“Hayeon sister! Guys!”
“Ah, I finally found it. Why are the hills so high here?”
“Ohhh, it’s a bachelor cap, a bachelor cap. Oh, if I hadn’t dropped out, I would have written it last year.”
The three women who caught people’s attention were Eun-yul, Choi Mi-hwa, and Do Yui. They were so beautiful that they drew attention wherever they went.
In particular, the gaze toward Eun-yul, who returned to the entertainment industry two years ago and rose to stardom, was amazing.
“Hey, is that person Remedy?”
“Why is Remedy here?”
“Wow, crazy. Got on board today Eunyul-nim, the reception is crazy.”
Remedy (medicine) is the stage name Eun-yul used in the world before Seo Joo-hwan returned. Seo Joo-hwan, who was a fan of her Remedy her, gave her the same stage name as before, hoping that Eun-yul would serve as a medicine for people in this life as well.
“Are the people with you celebrities too? Are you very pretty?”
“I know that person. This is Do Yui, a step crew dancer. Dance dog dance well.”
Occasionally, there were people who recognized Doyui. Honing her talents in her last hour, she rose from an up-and-comer to a prodigy dancer. Now, among people in her industry her, if you did n’t know her name her, you were treated as a spy.
On the other hand, Choi Mi-hwa was a person who had nothing to do with the entertainment industry apart from her beauty in her, so no one recognized her. She was just feeling very tired because she was stared at by the two people she was with.
Choi Mi-hwa said to Eun-yul, who was excited to meet her party her.
“Yul, I told you not to take off your sunglasses.”
“Oh, sorry, sister. But I think it’s polite to take off your shirt and say hello…….”
“What kind of manners do you have between people you know? Aww, I’m tired.”
“Sorry, sorry…….”
“Don’t be so sorry, just a little. This kid who became a celebrity is still timid!”
“Hick!”
At Choi Mi-hwa’s bruise, Eun-yul shrank her neck. Choi Mi-hwa, who was even more angry at him, grewled.
“Who is hitting? Eat it?!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Mihwa unnie, stop bullying Yul.”
“Yui, so are you! Do you know what others are talking about? Mr. Pak!”
“I think her older sister’s personality is getting more and more eccentric, maybe because of the overtime. If she gets that angry, she’ll have wrinkles on her arms of her!”
“What?!”
“Ahh! Hayeon unnie, save me!”
Do Yui ran behind Jung Hayeon.
Jeong Ha-yeon smiled awkwardly and waved her hand to Choi Mi-hwa. At that, Choi Mi-hwa let out a deep sigh.
“Ha Yeon-ah, say something to the kids. I don’t know how they don’t change no matter how old they get.”
“No matter what I say, it’s just that moment. It’s easy to give up, sister.”
“Eh. I should. Anyway, congratulations on graduating. Haven’t the graduation ceremony started yet?”
“Yes, it came just right. Thanks for coming.”
“It’s our translator’s graduation ceremony, so of course you have to come.”
Choi Mi-hwa smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
As the number of people in her group increased, the number of eyes focused on her also increased. It was all the more so because everyone except for Jang Deok-hoon was the owner of an off-white color far above average.
Meanwhile, Seo Joo-hee wanted to cry.
‘Everyone is filthy pretty.’
Subjectively and objectively, Seo Joo-hee is not a look that one can fall for anywhere. But she felt like a squid to be in this crowd.
She began seriously contemplating whether or not to invite these filthy pretty girls to her own graduation ceremony next year.
Surprisingly, however, the confluence is not over yet.
A flashy sports car came and rolled down the windows in front of the party.
“Hey, everyone is wearing graduation caps. Oh, did our Mi-hwa come too?”
“Eh, CEO?”
Seeing Lee Seok-chan, Choi Mi-hwa let out a shrieking sound. She had to face the company representative until the graduation ceremony!
Jeong Ha-yeon and her companions also reacted uneasily. It was because the car was so noisy that it drew attention.
Lee Seok-chan said disapprovingly.
“What is the expression on a person’s face? Brother Kangho and his sister-in-law are also here, so why don’t you loosen up a bit?”
“Uh? Then Soo-hwan too?”
“OK. Our Suhwan is here too, bitch.”
At those words, the group of people who had been keeping their distance gathered around the car in an instant. A boy, now four years old, could be seen through the window.
Lee Seok-chan clicked his tongue at the conflicting reaction.
“The three of you, get off here. I’ll park and come.”
After a while, Baek Kang-ho and Lee Hye-ri got out of the car with their child.
“Uh ha ha. It’s been a while, guys.”
“Ho Ho. All three of them look good in graduation caps.”
Baek Kang-ho, who looks like a bandit, and Lee Hye-ri, who has elegant elegance, greeted each other in a contrasting atmosphere.
The party also greeted each other, and Jang Deok-hoon, who was chatting with Seo Ju-hee, reacted intensely.
“Go, Kangho hyung-nim? Brother why are you here…….”
“Jang Deok-hun! I haven’t been exercising lately so I came to catch you, you bastard!”
“Huh!”
While Jang Deok-hoon was fighting Baek Kang-ho, women flocked to Lee Hye-ri and Baek Su-hwan.
“Oh my, what should I do? Suhwan is so pretty.”
“I look just like my sister. How can a boy look so pretty?”
“Aren’t you supposed to be a celebrity later?”
“Ho Ho. Suhwan-ah, should we say hello to the older sisters?”
Lee Hye-ri, who was in a good mood at the child’s praise, gently patted Baek Soo-hwan on the back. Baek Soo-hwan put his hands together and bowed to his belly button.
“It’s okay, sisters.”
At that one word, the women giggled and fell asleep. Despite the fact that he is only a 4-year-old child, Baek Soo-hwan’s appearance was so pretty that he took out Lee Hye-ri’s looks from her.
“Ugh. Guys, let’s move. We are blocking the way.”
Jeong Ha-yeon was the first to bring her to her senses and said.
After a while, Lee Seok-chan, who had parked, joined, and Jeong Ha-yeon asked.
“What about your father and mother?”
“I told everyone not to come because it’s complicated.”
“Your brothers too?”
“Uh. Instead, we have a separate celebration party at home later. If you refuse even that, the two of you might cry.”
“Week, I should say to do it on the weekend. For now, let’s hang out with the kids today.”
“OK. Delivered like that.”
Lee Seok-chan immediately delivered a message to his smartphone her. Unlike when they just entered school, both of them maintained a good relationship with their parents.
“I’ll go to the back now.”
“Yes. Thank you for coming.”
Lee Seok-chan smiled and walked away. This is because the seats for graduates and attendees were separated.
Meanwhile, Yoo Ji-gyeong and Jang Deok-hun’s family also arrived at the auditorium in time. Instead of two people who were unable to move among the graduates, Han Soo-ah and Seo Joo-hee greeted them.
Seo Joo-hee rushed out and served her Jang family.
“Mother, Father, hello! Oh, hello Deokja unnie too. The three of you can sit here.”
“Uh ha ha. Anyway, my daughter-in-law is the best.”
“Oh my, honey. I haven’t even gotten married yet, and that makes Juhee uncomfortable.”
“Is that so?”
“No, am I too good?”
“Uh ha ha. Look at that That’s good!”
Seo Joo-hee was already being treated as the daughter-in-law of the Jang family. She licked her lips as if she was a bit regretful, but that was a thing of the past now.
‘I can’t stop my youngest from marrying.’
Seo Joo-hwan and Jang Deok-ja have a physical relationship. However, their younger siblings, Seo Joo-hee and Jang Deok-hoon, are dating even thinking about getting married. If you were picky, you could become a dog genealogist in an instant.
‘Well, even if it’s not because of Joo-hee, I don’t think Seo Joo-hwan is going to meet me. Hmm.’
The two had a physical relationship, but they did not make love. Enjoy having a relationship to enjoy each other. That was the relationship between Seo Joo-hwan and Jang Deok-ja.
Jang Deok-ja, who had already shaken off his feelings in the past, patted Seo Ju-hee on the back friendly. When Seo Joo-hee looked at her in surprise, Deok-ja Jang smiled and said,
“Brother Joo-hee, isn’t our youngest rotten? There must be a lot of times when it’s frustrating because you don’t notice.”
“Yes? Oh no. How good are you?”
“Good luck then. Tell me when you’re frustrated. I’ll scold you.”
Deokja Jang, No. 9 in the women’s featherweight world rankings, she clenched her fists. Seo Joo-hee was frightened and hit her with a hammer.
Meanwhile, Han Soo-ah treated Yoo Ji-kyung’s family with her unique affinity to her. It’s been five years since the two of them have known each other. Of course, we went to each other’s houses to play, and we said hello to our parents right away.
“Auntie, uncle. You can sit here!”
“Ho Ho. Does Soo-ah really make you feel better every time you see him?”
“Heh heh heh. Thank you, Sua.”
Yoo Ji-kyung’s parents also treated Han Soo-ah like their own daughter.
So everyone sits down.
– We will start the 43rd graduation ceremony of alternative university in 2020.
The graduation ceremony has begun.
*
– Respected President Suhyeon Lee, several professors.
Today’s protagonists, graduates, families, and friends…….
The boring congratulatory speech is over.
– I will give you a diploma.
Amidst a few sniffles.
– After the awarding ceremony, we will proceed with a celebratory performance. Since we have gathered special people, we would appreciate it if you could greet them with applause.
Clap clap clap, formal applause rang out.
And a pair of men and women appeared on the stage.
At that moment, people who confirmed the woman’s face raised their voices in surprise here and there.
“Oh, it’s Eun-yul!”
“Remedy?”
“Wow, crazy! Why is Remedy coming to our school graduation ceremony?”
“Who is the man?”
Is it because he is tall and has a good physique?
The man wearing black sunglasses somehow caught people’s attention even though he was just standing still.
Then, as if someone realized it, he said.
“Wait a minute. If you’re a guy doing a duet with Remedy…….”
“Ugh!”
About the time when the sound of breathless echoes everywhere.
The man took off his sunglasses and greeted me with a grin.
– Hello, my name is Seo Joo-hwan.
