<Episode 77> Last Together

One afternoon in class.

I looked at Si-eun who was sitting next to me.

Si-eun willingly sat next to me, following me, who preferred the back seat. Si-eun’s eyesight is not very good, but thanks to the glasses I bought at the end of last semester, there seemed to be no discomfort.

Si-eun is concentrating on the lecture, wearing the glasses that I have chosen, and holding a ballpoint pen to her lips.

Even though it’s always face to face, I feel strangely s*xy. His face, preoccupied with something, seemed to have a unique charm.

On the other hand, my boyfriend, I, was absorbed in other things throughout the lecture.

Until the previous time, I was coding on a laptop. Now even that was exhausting and he was looking at Si-eun. Now that class is the last lecture of the day, there was nothing I could do about it.

Soon, Si-eun’s head tilted. Si-eun was leaning her face toward me.

Si-eun brought her mouth to my side and whispered in her ear as she was just staring blankly, wanting to do something.

“Don’t just look at me, listen to the lecture.”

what did you say He also answered in a whisper.

“I don’t normally listen to lectures.”

“Is that proud?”

Si-eun scolded her with a sullen look in her eyes. It’s not something to be proud of. Moreover, my girlfriend is listening intently to the lecture right next to me. As a boyfriend, you should emulate me.

So, I decided to pretend to listen to the lecture.

I looked forward, but Si-eun’s sermon seemed unfinished.

“Still, it’s great to have good grades.”

“When the exam approaches, I focus on it in a short period of time.”

“You should study straight ahead.”

It was a slurred conversation. Actually, it wasn’t too bad. Am I the only one who loses if this topic continues? I’d like to arrange it properly.

He brought his mouth to Si-eun’s ear and whispered.

“I was studying about myself.”

Si-eun trembled at my words and grabbed her ear. He then stared at me with a resentful face.

“What are you talking about.”

“It means that I watched the lectures because they were so pretty.”

“what the.”

Si-eun shook her head as if it was ridiculous and smiled.

Although I blew a grunt at the words that might be a little crooked. Surprisingly, the reaction was not bad.

As expected, Si-eun seemed to have a side where she was not yet honest.

As I was flirting like this, the lecture came to an end. Me and Si Eun too, this was the last lecture. Now we can go home together.

I thought so, but for some reason, Si-eun stopped in front of the Gwa building.

After a while, Si-eun turned her head and spoke with an apologetic face.

“I have a meeting today because of the preparations for the event… … . I’ll probably go home in an hour or two.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

Si-eun nodded.

“I’m sorry, but I have to go back today. rice is… … Probably not. Either wait at home, or eat and go in when hungry. Do whatever you want.”

“Well.”

After thinking for a while, he answered.

“I will wait. Let’s go back together.”

“What?”

“I’ll be waiting in the school cafeteria, so let’s go home together.”

When I said it again, Si-eun narrowed her eyes as if she understood. I will wait at school instead of waiting at home. Let’s go back together when we’re done. It sounded like this.

That must have been very sinful. Si-eun lowered her eyes.

“no. I’m sorry.”

He looked depressed. He spoke in a light tone so as not to worry about it.

“Even when I go home, I only use the computer. It’s the same when you’re on a laptop in a cafe, huh? it’s ok so go Call me when you’re done.”

It wasn’t empty words. In fact, without Si-eun, there was no merit in staying at home. You’re probably just fiddling around with your laptop wherever you are. Wouldn’t it be better to wait for Si-eun?

Si-eun is not the type to refuse favors to the end. I’m just trying to give back as much as I received. It was the same this time. Si-eun raised her eyes and looked up at me and answered.

“okay. Then I will contact you.”

“yes.”

He smiled softly and waved his hand. Si-eun also raised her palm timidly.

About an hour and a half after that, I got a call from Si-eun. After the meeting was over, they talked about going to the cafe.

Do you really need to come here? After only deterring, I went to pick up Si-eun.

As they approached the building, Si-eun, who was standing in front of him, waved his hand. He had a smile on his face as if he was happy. I haven’t seen your face in less than two hours.

Could it be that he couldn’t wait even for a short time to walk to the building? Si-eun approached me with gunshot steps.

“Wait? sorry.”

“no. it’s okay.”

Even if you don’t have to be sorry. When he tapped his head with such a heart, Si-eun laughed as if it were tickling.

I’m hungry. I have to go back soon. I am already salivating because I am looking forward to the dinner that Si-eun will prepare. As soon as I took my foot off, Si-eun followed me.

The dark campus creates its own atmosphere. It was early autumn, so the sun was going to set late, but it got dark as much as this. While waiting for Si-eun, quite a bit of time seemed to pass.

In a landscape that is different from usual, emotions that are different from usual bloom. It was a campus we had always faced, but as it got dark, there was also a romantic atmosphere.

Both of them were moving without saying a word, but after a while Si-eun opened her mouth.

“It’s over there.”

“yes.”

“What happened to the military?”

“ah.”

Come to think of it, I couldn’t tell Si-eun directly about this issue. I thought I’d talk about it after it was confirmed, just to avoid confusion. The confirmation came later than expected.

Well, there seems to be little chance of it being reversed anyway. First of all, I might as well tell you the current situation.

“I haven’t gotten a definitive answer yet. For now, I think I will start working next year.”

The exact timing is still in need of coordination. This is the part that has been talked about so far. Fortunately, it seemed to be able to finish normally by this semester.

“Well… … .”

Si-eun seemed to be thinking deeply about something. After waiting to see if she was worrying about something, Si-eun opened her mouth.

“Then this year will be the last time I go to the same school as you.”

“… … uh.”

I heard it and it was

If you start working at the company from next year, you will of course have to take a leave of absence from the military. In the meantime, Si-eun is going to school. When I returned, Si-eun must have already graduated.

This semester is the last time I enjoy campus life with Si-eun.

It was fortunate that many subjects overlapped when applying for courses. Perhaps Si-eun was trying to apply for the same subject as much as possible with this possibility in mind.

“It’s a bit lonely.”

Si-eun said as if muttering.

“okay?”

“lets think. Going to school together will never happen again in my life.”

“Even if I always see you at home?”

At my question, Si-eun clapped her shoulder as if vomited.

“There are things you only feel at school.”

“is it?”

It was a sound that seemed familiar.

Well, even now, walking around campus with Si-eun right now. Because my heart is racing in a different sense than usual. It’s understandable if you think of it as a similar feeling.

“I think so.”

He raised his hand and patted Si-eun as if patted on the shoulder.

If fate had turned a little bit… … .

If I had met Si-eun when I was in high school. If I had known Si-eun when I was in middle school. If only we were childhood friends. It may have been that we made more fun moments together while we were growing up.

But that doesn’t happen. Life is only once. Time that has already passed cannot be turned back until death. There is no place for Si-eun in any scene in my past.

And there will probably be no place for me in Si-eun’s last college life.

Listening to lectures with loved ones, eating in the school cafeteria, doing group assignments, studying for exams, and laughing and talking while walking through the darkened campus. It will soon become impossible.

This simple fact seemed lonely to Si-eun.

Si-eun exhaled a sigh of relief and spoke out.

“If I had known this would happen, when I was in first grade… … No, I should have approached him at least when he was in second grade.”

“Didn’t you look for a housekeeper back then?”

“Since we met at school, we saw faces. If I had tried to approach him first, we wouldn’t have been able to talk at any time.”

“but.”

That’s correct. If there is a problem, it is that he lacked social skills even more because he was immersed in investing until his sophomore year.

Si-eun looked at me quietly and said.

“That you are such a good man… … I should have known ahead of time.”

It was a very touching and grateful word.

well though

“I learned that while living in the same house. If I had only said a few words at school, I would have just ignored him, saying that he was just a strange person.”

So did I. Before that, I didn’t know anything about Si-eun. A beautiful woman in the same department with various rumors floating around. I only knew that for 2 years.

But how different would it have been if we had had a chance to talk at school? The reason Si-eun and I developed into this kind of relationship is because we met as employers and housekeepers.

I remembered something a friend once told me.

‘If I had approached you more proactively earlier, if I had been more honest. The time we spent together would have been longer.’

Don’t hesitate to do it anyway. It was said along with this advice.

In the end, we became lovers without hesitation for a long time, but even that seemed to come to Si-eun quite sadly.

Si-eun loves me so much that even the time that has passed is precious.

When I came to that thought, a very happy feeling arose.

“I can’t help it.”

Si-eun closed her mouth and nodded weakly at the words she calmly brought out. It was as if he was resigning and trying to accept reality.

But the story isn’t over yet.

“Would it still be okay?”

“Are you okay?”

“okay. Even after graduating, you can go on a date on campus. if not… … If you give me permission, I can go around wearing my high school uniform.”

“What are you talking about?”

Si-eun tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand English.

He continued speaking without stopping his stroking hand.

“The time that has passed is irresistible. It would be a pity that we couldn’t go to school together. It means that we have a lot more time left to fill as we please.”

The past 20 years or so, when we didn’t know each other. The present of the few months I spent with Si-eun. Even if you put it all together, it’s shorter than the future we’ll be together. There is still a lot of time left to create together.

Instead of looking back, I want you to look forward together.

It was just the wind for me.

“I see.”

Si-eun answered quietly. It was a very, very happy tone.

Then the wind blew. The leaves planted by the roadside gently swayed. The leaves that did not receive the autumn leaves still had a blue light.

There was a voice mixed in with the sound of the wind.

“I love you.”

I turned my head, but Si-eun just walked forward, as if she didn’t say anything.

However, her cheeks were dyed red enough to be seen even in the darkened campus.

I had to move on, holding back the smile that was about to come out.
