Chapter 42
Korea University boasts the largest scale among universities in Seoul.
Korea University was founded right after liberation. It is said that the land was cheap at that time, so it was possible to build a large site.
It is large in size and as it is the best university in Korea, many tourists come from both local and foreign countries. There are even T-shirts and souvenir shops with the university logo engraved on them.
Well, there’s really nothing to see when you go there.
“Why Korea University?”
Ellie answered my question.
“This is my third time in Korea, so I’ve been to a lot of tourist spots, but I haven’t been able to go to Korea University. She also heard a lot from Jessica. So I’ve always wanted to visit once.”
“Ok?”
Hyeon-joo’s sister’s college days, it’s already been more than 10 years. It is said that rivers and mountains change in 10 years, but there is no way the university will not change.
In the meantime, several buildings have been newly built or remodeled. This is all thanks to the students’ hard work and dedication.
“Then I will go to Korea.”
I marked Korea University as the destination on the map on my smartphone.
It was a weekday and it was already past rush hour, so the road wasn’t very busy.
“Is Jinhoo a student at Hankuk University?”
“Yes. It’s a business department.”
“Jessica is an economics major, right?”
“Yes.”
As we exited the Gangbyeonbuk-ro, the image of Korea University began to appear.
I said, pointing to the huge campus at the foot of Mt. Hoeun.
“That’s Korea University.”
“It’s really big.”
By the time I got to school, I realized an important problem. It was none other than the car we were driving.
This car is not an ordinary car, it’s Oh Taek-gyu.
If rumors spread that you drive such a car, you may not be able to hold your head up in shame.
Fortunately, Korea University is large, and it is currently on vacation.
Why don’t you run into someone you know?
With that in mind, I entered the Hankuk University campus. It’s been a really long time coming. This is the first time since leaving school and enlisting in the military.
I parked my car in a corner of the parking lot near the Central Library. Then, making sure there were no people around, I quickly got off.
“I will guide you from the library first.”
I headed to the library building with Ellie.
The Hankuk University library is as big as the campus. There was a reading room, a reading room, a restaurant, and a cafe, as well as an exhibition hall displaying national treasure-class books.
“Can ordinary people come in here?”
“There are areas that are open to the public, and there are areas that only students can enter.”
As we guided us slowly, we saw students passing by stop and look at us.
All eyes were poured on it, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. Of course, it’s not me, but seeing Ellie next to me.
Hankuk University has established ties with world-renowned universities and is implementing an exchange student system. Therefore, it was not uncommon to see foreigners on campus.
What caught my attention was her appearance. Tall, outstretched legs, a voluminous body, and cool and clear features.
In addition, the peculiar charm of a mixed race, not just white people, was added. Just standing there was like a fashion pictorial.
I knew she was pretty, but I’m sure she’d get this much attention.
It makes me feel uncomfortable all over. But Ellie, her real party, seemed to be okay. She said, I don’t think she’s been through this once or twice.
Even during her vacation, her library was overflowing with students studying. Ellie looked surprised and said.
“The enthusiasm for learning is great,” she said.
“It’s hard to get a job these days.”
A long time ago (roughly when tigers smoked), she says, there was a time when a Korean university diploma was all that big companies rushed to take. But now, it is difficult to find a job and so are not the only seniors who are delaying graduation.
“But when we play, everyone is having a good time.”
The Korea University Festival is quite famous in the area. A lot of students from nearby universities come to play.
After browsing the library, we sat down at the cafe on the first floor.
“Is Jinhoo on vacation right now?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to continue going to school?”
“Perhaps.”
Now, I wonder what the school diploma means, but after the acquisition of the company, there is nothing I can do about it.
I’m sure her mother wants her to graduate too.
I drank coffee and looked out the window.
I could see the students gathered around three or three. I also saw a couple walking around with their arms crossed.
Perhaps, if I hadn’t developed a sense of foresight, would I have returned to school and went to school normally? Then I wouldn’t have even met Ellie.
Should I contact Min-young while I’m at school?
But there was no phone in her pocket. Come to think of it, she remembered putting it on the center fascia to look at the navigation.
I told Ellie.
“I’m drinking coffee for a while. I’ll go to the car and get my phone.”
“Go slowly.”
I left the central library building and headed for the parking lot. Right next to my car was a huge white car that I had never seen before.
White Bentley Convertible.
Is it a Continental GT? It is not a car for a student to drive.
I opened the car door and took out the phone I had left inside, when the phone rang.
Tirling!
It was a senior Sangyeop. I pressed the call button.
“What’s going on, senpai?”
Then, Sangyeop’s voice came over the receiver.
[I called after a while. Is the call okay?]“Yes. I have no meetings today, so I am taking a break.”
While OTK Company met foreign startups and invested directly, Sangyeop senior was investing in Korean startups under the name of K Company.
“Are you very busy?”
[Today is a meeting one after another. It’s still on the way from the office to Pangyo.]“How are you doing? Is it worth it?”
In response to my question, the old man said sternly.
[I’m working hard not to get fired.]“I’ll stop by the office when I get home from work.”
I was going to hang up after saying that, but Sangyeop senior said.
[Jinhuya.]“Yes?”
[Thank you.]It was just one word, but it felt sincere enough.
I said with a smirk.
“It’s just the beginning, what are you doing already? I’ll listen to my thanks a lot later.”
[Haha, okay. See you later.]The short call is over.
Sangyeop’s voice was full of vitality. Apart from being busy and hard, he seems to be full of motivation.
She put her phone in her pocket and got out of the car, and about 10 students were walking this way.
A familiar face appeared between them. It was none other than Minyoung and Kyungil.
Kyung-il said to the students behind him.
“Did you know that the Central Library restaurant is the most delicious among Korean university restaurants? I will shoot you today, so eat as much as you like.”
“Wow!”
“Senior is the best!”
“Thank you.”
“I will enjoy this food.”
Are you going out to eat with your juniors?
Normally, I would pretend to know, but in the current situation, it’s difficult.
I quickly bowed down, but at that moment, my eyes met him. I shook her head to pretend not to know.
Then Kyung-il shouted with joy so that everyone could hear it.
“Hey, Jinhoo Kang! What’s going on at school?”
“·················ogue.”
is this kid
Min-young, as well as the juniors who followed him, all looked at me at once.
I raised my hand awkwardly.
“Oh, it’s been a while.”
Kyung-il looked at his car and shook his head.
“Wow! What is this car? Is this your car?”
Min-young was also surprised.
“Did you have any hobbies like this?”
The juniors also reacted absurdly. Everyone seems to be seeing this otakuka for the first time.
Min-young first introduced me to her juniors.
“This is our classmate, Jinhoo Kang. Say hello to everyone.”
“Ah, hello, sir.”
“Honey, I’ll see you soon.”
Now is not the time to say goodbye.
If I made a mistake, I ended up being branded as an otaku-senpai.
“It’s not….”
I was about to say that I rented it for a while, not my car, but I heard a sharp voice.
“What are you wearing on your car?”
Brown hair, dark makeup, and large ring earrings. She was a schoolgirl with a Louis Vuitton bag in a flashy and striking attire.
In this cold weather, she wore a short skirt, a sheer sheer suit, and high heels so high that her toes were almost straight.
Ya, shouldn’t she have gone to the dance department, not the business department? ballet line.
“Were you there too?”
Hyemi Lee, she is her hyperactive genius.
Although she is popular in her class because of her pretty and gorgeous looks, she didn’t get along very well with me.
The reason is because of the group assignment at the beginning of the semester.
It is a major subject, and the professor is the head of the department, and the fact that it is a group task that replaces the final exam overlapped, and everyone was motivated.
However, she said that Hye-mi had a promise, and she often fell for it. She happens to know that when she attends, she doesn’t even prepare the materials properly.
When I, who was in charge of the group at the time, pointed out, I laughed and laughed at it. I don’t know if the other motives were enough, but I didn’t.
I warned that if I missed one more time, I would remove the name altogether, and she smiled again and moved on. Then, he said he had urgent work and missed again the next day.
In the end, I announced that day without her name. It was a pretty good presentation for a freshman, and thanks to this, most of the team members got A grades. However, only Hyemi was an F.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
As soon as the lecture was over, Hyemi started crying and screaming, and after that, even if they met in the classroom, they didn’t even greet each other.
Hyemi looked at me and smiled openly.
“If that’s the case, aren’t you ashamed?”
I’m actually ashamed.
I sighed inwardly and said.
“It doesn’t matter what you put on your car, man?”
“You have to think about the people watching. You feel bad.”
It’s a shame. Even so, I don’t know why I have to listen to people complaining about my feelings.
“What makes you feel bad?”
Then she said as if Hyemi was waiting.
“I put these stickers on my car that commercialize women’s sexuality, don’t you feel bad as a woman?”
what kind of bullshit What does this have to do with sex commodification?
When I didn’t say anything, Hyemi kept talking.
“This is misogyny. Don’t you feel sorry for your female juniors?”
Why is misogyny here?
Come to think of it, didn’t you say that even then, the name was not included in the group assignment because it was discriminatory against women?
It’s ridiculous, but Minyoung said in a low voice.
“Do not worry about it. Is he doing this for a day or two?”
It’s true, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it so I’m not used to it.
“What are you saying around you?”
“Still, boys accept it.”
I nodded. Anyway, the problem is with men who accept them as long as they are pretty.
At that moment, the Bentley parked next to it lit up.
Beep!
Hyemi waved her hand as if it was okay.
“Senior Junhyung! Seon-ah!”
Sun-ah?
I looked away. I saw a man and a woman with her arms crossed walking this way.
Her small face, big eyes, a tall nose, pure white skin and long straight hair. Although her clothes and makeup were not flashy, she had a beauty that caught her attention at a glance.
Seon-ah looked at me and widened her eyes as if surprised.
Surprisingly, I am as well.
Next to her was a man. The two stopped in front of the Bentley.
After her success, she had no desire to drive her foreign car and appear as if she had, but she also had no desire to meet in such a situation.
I thought to myself, looking at the white Bentley Convertible and the red light car with the game characters on it.
Ah, I’ll buy a car sooner or later…
