Chapter 61 – You Are in the Class of 13, Right?
“Seo Joo-hwan.”
When his name was called, Seo Joo-hwan clicked his tongue inwardly. He didn’t like the way he openly pointed out that he didn’t attend the entrance ceremony. He was even more so because his impression of the butcher in his memory was not good.
‘I liked it when a guy who hadn’t even been in the military was arguing up and down.’
It’s a class play that often happens in college. It wasn’t anything particularly big, but rumors weren’t good because he acted like a senior.
Looking back at Deokhun Jang and Hana Joo, they were quite nervous. As a newcomer who had just entered college, he was pointed out by his senior from the first day, so he was nervous.
Baek Jeong-gi smiled and continued.
“Haha. It’s not what I’m trying to say, so don’t be so nervous.”
Baek Jeong-gi speaks with a comfortable laugh. When he said that with a clean-looking face, the atmosphere that had been stiff for a moment was soon relieved. Jang Deok-hun and Joo Ha-na, who were nervous, are also relieved as if they are fortunate.
Baek Jeong-gi looks around at the first graders in the classroom and says.
“Well. As I said in the chat room, I think department events and courtesy between seniors and juniors are important. In that sense, missing the entrance ceremony doesn’t look good. But since you guys don’t know yet, I think It’s possible. I’m not a tight-fisted person.”
“I’m sorry, senior.”
“I will not miss out and participate.”
The two of them politely bowed their heads and spoke. On the other hand, Seo Joo-hwan stayed still without any reaction. I didn’t think missing the entrance ceremony was something to apologize for. I don’t know what the professor said.
Was that attitude annoying? Butek Jeong-gi wondered if his eyebrows were twitching, then he said again with a smile.
“Oh, by any chance, don’t you feel offended that I speak inappropriately? Still can’t help it. College is a student number system, and I entered a little late, so I’m 23. I’m older than you, so there’s no need to feel bad. OK?”
“Yes~.”
The first graders nodded and answered. On the other hand, Seo Joo-hwan could not stand it and laughed. Lee Seok-chan, who was next to him, touched his arm and asked why. He shook his head, saying he would explain later.
‘It’s still the same.’
Even though he would have looked at the list of first-year students in advance, Baek Jeong-gi did not know his student number and age. This was the same as before the return.
“I’ll give you a little notice. Aren’t there any students who have left yet?”
The first graders, including Seo Ju-hwan, were seated.
“The first announcement is… “
It was a notice about the conference fee and empty fee.
Seo Joo-hwan listened roughly through one ear and rested his chin. Lee Seok-chan whispered next to him.
“Hey, why? It looks like that senior is glaring at you.”
“What about seniors?”
“What?”
“My grade is higher.”
“… ? What are you talking about?”
In the midst of Lee Seok-chan’s bewilderment, something worth listening to came out.
“The third is the number of people in each group when we went to Empty. The number of people in each group will be posted on the chat room today or tomorrow, so you can check it then. Each group will have one or two sophomores mixed in. Ah, each group is required to have a talent show, so prepare well with the members.”
At the sound of a talent show, ah- and a sigh resounded. It’s a university talent show that I’ve only heard about, so I wonder what I should do in front of my seniors. If you do it, there’s nothing special about it other than being annoying.
Of course, even in the midst of this, there were kids who said they were having fun with their eyes shining, but that was only part of it. There were few active people with Chulkon.
Baek Jeong-gi laughed at the first graders and said,
“Apart from the talent show, there is also a departmental traditional women’s dress up contest, so men prepare well. Ah, the preparations should be done by the women.”
“Yes? Are you a maid?”
“Yes, at least one member of each group must come out. It’s a tradition, so don’t think about removing it. By the way, I did too.”
Seo Joo-hwan’s face crumpled. Come to think of it, there was such a useless tradition. It’s a department with a small number of men, so why bother to dress as a woman? No, rather, it is because there are fewer men.
He, Lee Seok-chan, Jang Deok-hun, and other male Jin were doing bamboo statues, while the women were glaring at each other as if they were having fun.
‘Can I pull it out again?’
Before returning, Lee Seok-chan, who was in the same group, dressed as a girl.
“Empty will go to both classes A and B, and groups are decided regardless of class. Notice ends here.”
After he finished speaking, Baek Jeong-gi swept around the classroom and added.
“Apart from the notice, I will say a few words. I said it at the entrance ceremony, and I said it a while ago, but I think courtesy between seniors and juniors is important. If I see seniors passing by, I want them to say hello first. It’s easy to get close if a junior greets you first. We’ll run into each other often anyway, so it’s nice if we get to know each other, right? In the same vein, I hope you will participate well in department events.”
He finished his speech with a smile on his face and wrote the eleven digit number on the blackboard.
“I wrote down my number here, so everyone save it. Since I’m a sophomore, I won’t have many things to see. If there is anything you want to ask, please contact me. Of course, you are also welcome to contact me if you want to get to know me personally. I know all the good restaurants in Anyang, so I’ll buy you a meal and a drink.”
“Yes~!”
With the answer, most of the students save the number. Baek Jeong-gi smiled at the sight and left the classroom.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at him with a trembling expression and clicked his tongue. Lee Seok-chan looked at Seo Joo-hwan as if it were strange, then she gestured toward his back door.
“Do you want to go smoke a cigarette?”
“OK.”
“Hey, Deokhun. Come with me. I have to play billiards.”
I saw Jang Deok-hoon reluctantly following with a shy face.
*
On the first day of class, it would be possible to form a group to get to know each other, but most of the students seemed to be going home.
‘It was originally like this.’
I remember that there were a lot of introverted people, probably because it was a characteristic of the department. Or maybe it was because she was a woman. I heard that in the case of Namjoo, from the first day, they are in harmony and have a drinking party.
The good news is that due to the nature of the department, there are very few males, so they naturally come together. Seo Ju-hwan and Lee Seok-chan came out to the smoking area and took out cigarettes. Jang Deok-Hoon was standing there, one step away.
“Do you not smoke?”
“Yes. I tried it once a while back, but it didn’t look good. I will not use it in the future.”
“Hehe. Yeah, you don’t smoke like this.”
Lee Seok-chan exhaled a long cigarette and spoke in an exaggerated tone. The intended performance was quite repulsive, leading to profanity.
“Crazy.”
“OMG. Too bad.”
“Deokhun-ah, Seok-chan’s words are roughly overlooked. Of course, it’s better not to smoke. If you don’t like the smell, stay away.”
“It’s okay. But Joo-hwan… Are you my brother? You seem like Seokchan-hyung and friends.”
Seo Joo-hwan insignificantly nodded his head. Anyway, I thought the age would be revealed soon.
“You’re one year older than Seokchan.”
“Ah, too. Then I will call you big brother.”
“… Just call me brother normally.”
“Yes, brother.”
“…….”
It wasn’t surprising. Because Jang Deok-hoon was polite to him even in his previous life. I just thought the family would be strict.
“Let’s go to the billiard room now. We are the only men The three of us should come together.”
Lee Seok-chan said cheerfully.
“Where should we go?”
“There, of course.”
It would have been obvious to say that it was a place worth playing in Anyang. The three of them headed to First Avenue.
*
I entered the billiard room Some on 1st Street. It was crowded with people because of the discount event.
Except for Lee Seok-chan, the three decided to play pool because it was their first time playing billiards. Lee Seok-chan and Jang Deok-hun take sides, and Seo Ju-hwan is alone.
“Since you are the best, Seokchan, shouldn’t you do it alone?”
“Ah, what you don’t know. If I hit alone, the turn won’t go around and I’ll keep playing alone, but then the game is over soon. You have to hit someone who is not good at it to get the balance right.”
“Is that so?”
“Uh. And if you keep playing alone, it’ll always happen soon. After each game, you and Deok-hun take turns playing alone.”
I don’t know, but once I was convinced, I started playing the game. I thought that the person who had hit it a lot would be right.
Billiards was more complicated than I thought. There are a lot of words that I can’t understand, such as coming, brushing, and giving spin. It is said that under 300 dama is forbidden to taste, but what does that mean? Still, by the time a game is over, I think I know roughly how to play. I quickly adapted to it, whether it was because of my talent for boxing or because I was originally talented at billiards.
“Is this your first time playing? Learn quickly The queue doesn’t shake at all. Originally, when you hit it for the first time, it beeps a lot.”
“I keep beeping, but it’s my older brother.”
“After all, what? Do you play billiards at any age? It just happens because you do it.”
I haven’t seen the hard way yet. I just thought I would do nothing but hit straight forward.
At the end of the two games, Lee Seok-chan said.
“Juhwan-ah, I was talking about self-introduction earlier.”
“Yes?”
“I’m number one, but you did it first. Didn’t you say that your student number was higher than that of your sophomore year?”
Seo Joo-hwan scratched the corners of his eyes and nodded.
“I’m in the 13th grade.”
“… Shall I call you senior? No, should I call you?”
“Brother Joo-hwan. Do you call me senior or older brother?”
Seo Ju-hwan was disgusted and waved his hand.
“Hey, it’s okay. Just do what you do. What does your class number matter? I’m in the first year anyway, so I’m no different from you guys.”
“OK. To be honest, it’s awkward for you now.”
Seo Joo-hwan also told Jang Deok-hoon.
“Deokhoon calls you hyung, too. Don’t worry about your class number.”
“I understand, brother.”
You know, he’s still my older brother. Jang Deok-hun didn’t change much.
Lee Seok-chan opened his mouth again, as if he still had something to say.
“By the way, why did you do that with the 2nd year major?”
“What?”
“It looked like the two of you were having a snowball fight. Do you know each other? He didn’t look very friendly.”
“Ah, that… I just don’t like the feeling. From the first day, it’s a bit like putting it up and down while mentioning your class number. We don’t know each other in the first place.”
“Hmm. It certainly didn’t feel very good.”
Lee Seok-chan shook his head as if he agreed.
“I don’t know. He seemed like a good senior who wanted to get close to his juniors.”
These were the words of Deokhun Jang.
In fact, if you look at your appearance today, most students will think like Jang Deok-hun.
Baek Jeong-gi seemed to create a bit of a stiff atmosphere at first, but when she finished speaking, she left a friendly impression, saying that he would buy food if she contacted her. He seemed to others to be a rather knowledgeable but good senior.
So, Seo Ju-hwan did not dare to deny Jang Deok-hoon’s words. He couldn’t even explain the future. Even if you say something now, it will only look like you’re cursing or talking behind your back.
‘It was my taste to ask for a student number.’
It wasn’t long before Baek Jung-gi found out his student number her. On the first day, he didn’t seem to know at all whether he had seen the roster, but after a few days, it was decided that he would use the title of senior first. However, before the return, Baek Jeong-gi showed an attitude of ignoring him while using the title of senior to him, while more and more openly looking down on him who was timid.
But should I say that it is the past, no, the future? Anyway, that hadn’t happened yet. I was about to play billiards again, but Lee Seok-chan said with a big smile.
“Okay. I think Joo-hwan is right.”
“… Why? Isn’t Deokhun right?”
Lee Seok-chan shrugged as he did.
“Just a feeling? My feelings were mostly right. I take good care of people.”
“What the.”
“Anyway, it’s something you’ll know after seeing it. Oh, Joo-hwan, don’t fight openly though. Even if your class is high, you don’t have friends in the same class. I get tired of fighting for no reason.”
“When did I fight?”
“No. Hehe.”
It is Lee Seok-chan who giggles with a light attitude. Seo Joo-hwan smiled and focused on billiards again. He has no grounds, but having a friend with the same opinion was more pleasant than I thought.
It was when the game was over again. Lee Seok-chan’s cell phone rang. He put down the cue stick to ask for a moment and answered the phone.
“Uh. I am a billiard room. Huh? 1st Some Billiard Room. Do you come if you are bored? Oh wait.”
While talking on the phone, Lee Seok-chan looked back at Seo Ju-hwan and Jang Deok-hun. Then he looks at his phone his and frowns.
“I have two classmates here, are you okay? If you’re going to be shy, just… Whew. Not.”
Lee Seok-chan sighs abruptly and blocks the microphone on his phone.
“Joo Hwan-ah, Deok-hoon-ah. Sorry I have to go He-I have a friend, and I think he should take care of me.”
Lee Seok-chan speaks with an apologetic expression. His outward appearance and manner of speaking His were just childish, but he seemed to have a lot of affection.
Seo Joo-hwan glanced at Lee Seok-chan’s phone and said.
“Are you Jeong Ha-yeon?”
“Wow. Hey what is Mr. He looks like a fucking uncle.”
Uncle. It hurts that he was subtly caring.
“… Is it right anyway?”
“That’s right. How did you know?”
“Listen to the voice. Hayeon, just tell me to come here. She said she wanted to play with me. Do you know how to play billiards?”
“Uh? Don’t know how to hit Mmm. But I’m fine, but he’ll be in trouble….”
I’m still hesitating whether I want to play more. Even so, Jung Ha-yeon was worried and couldn’t answer right away.
Seo Joo-hwan seemed to know the reason, so he laughed.
“Is it because of my prudence?”
Lee Seok-chan’s eyes widened.
“… How do you know that?”
“I saw the two fighting while going to school in the morning. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m just being quiet.”
“What, did you hear that? This story is different. Hey Deokhoon, are you calling only one person you know?”
“Yes. I am fine.”
Lee Seok-chan hummed and picked up the phone again, as if he liked being able to play billiards more.
“You just come here. Oh, just come. I’ll take a map for you, so come quickly. Hang up.”
An angry voice could be heard on the phone, but Lee Seok-chan didn’t mind and ended the call. I don’t know if it’s right again.
“Did you get a rough idea of the Pokéball? Why don’t you hit the 4th ball soon?”
“Is that so?”
“I can’t even play Pokéball very well….”
“OK. Let’s get 4.”
“Older brother?”
Deokhun Jang’s opinion was ignored. The three moved the table to hit the 4th ball.
Then the cell phone rang.
Gying-
Gying-
KakaoTalk!
All three were simultaneous.
“What?”
With the same question, they each checked their phones.
[1st grade announcement]
(Baek Jeong-gi): (Photo)
(Baek Jeong-gi): This is the empty group list. I thought you guys might be curious, so I picked it up quickly, so check it out.
“Oh, is there a group of people?”
“It would be nice if the three of us were in the same group.”
Seo Ju-hwan looked at Jang Deok-hoon with a little pity. In the fixed future, he and Lee Seok-chan were the same, and Jang Deok-hoon was separated. In the first place, there are few men, so it is not possible to have three men in a group.
“Madam. Am I the only one different?”
“Brother Joo-hwan, you are in the same group as me!”
“Ok?”
Seo Joo-hwan quickly checked the list.
“Really?”
Why has the future changed?
