“… ”
A situation consistent with the last moments of this side of the world.
If there was one difference, it would be that the handkerchief Lane gave me was held in my hand.
“In the end, you have to choose here… ”
I slowly turned my head to the side.
Rain and Prissy are in the magic circle,
And after these 20 seconds, I saw Iris who was going to exercise her affiliation.
Since I did not select a skill in the first round,
In the end, there was only one choice left for me.

Many people have imagined going back to the past at least once.
And if you are asked what you would do by winding up the time like that,
Most people’s answer will come down to living a better life than this one.
For some it may be material, for others it may be spiritual.
Either way, I was no different.

Just thinking of correcting what was wrong with my standards.
Only that desire is the driving force that keeps me from getting tired in this bridle.

That’s why I quietly recited the starting language.

“brother! He, did you see him? the one who just passed by She is an engineering goddess.”
“uh… okay.”
University I just graduated from.
I sit by the window of the club room and have an unkind conversation with a male junior.
I was taking out documents related to employment, so I stopped by the classroom for a while, just in case.
I happened to have a younger brother I know, so we got to talking for a while.
“Oh, over there, Lee Chae-won. Are you coming this way? I hope you come here… ?!”
Chaewon walks quickly with her eyes on her phone.
It’s the image of an innocent girl.
“It is pretty… yo. this. Right?”
“… long time no see.”
who would believe
If I had been imprisoned by that beauty…
“yes? What did you say?”
“It’s just bullshit.”
“Anyway, hyung, he’s a creepy kid. She’s pretty, but she’s famous for not being cheap, and she’s wary of her seniors… ”
It seems that it has become a rather unpleasant gossip for others to hear, but
I had no choice but to speak as sparingly as possible in any direction.
‘Is there anything else… ‘
The point in the past when I decided to go back… I was in my third year of college right after I was discharged, right before I met her.
Another two years have passed since then.
Time is scary.
After 2 years of adapting to this present world again, the things I went through must have been a dream of one day, because I am about to become dull.
There was no one to tell, no one to sympathize with, no one to trust, and no means to prove it.
The old handkerchief that Lane handed over at the end… After returning, it disappeared.
In the end, there is no way to prove it, and there is no way to remember it.
However, my thoughts on Chaewon are still firm.
I can’t guarantee that not interfering unilaterally in her life is the perfect answer, but
Whatever it is, rather than the worst ending that fits me… It will be much better.
Even while I was organizing my thoughts, my junior brother was still grumbling.
“Poisonous, poisonous… would you like to do that? It’s okay to go alone for a year. You will receive many confessions.”
“why? Were you one of them?”
“… Yeah? me? Isn’t it?”
“Honey, the confession attack crossed the line…”
“I didn’t confess! I already have the scars of the ordeal… It didn’t heal!”
“Yes, manage your grades well with that mindset.”
Now, there is no need to go through all the rumors about her that are true and false.
Originally, Chaewon was not the type to open up easily.
Although it bothers me a little, she is definitely a woman who has room to try to bind me.
“Confession is useless anyway.”
“why?”
“… I guess I’ll take a leave of absence after all.”
“A leave of absence?”
“Because rumors say that he is a chaebol… Wouldn’t you like to go study abroad instead?”
Studying abroad…
For her to leave here herself, in a way, it would be welcome.
In a new place, I just want to live a normal life without meeting someone like me.
the more heartbreaking
“I’m going.”
“What? Are you leaving already?”
“Oh, because I’m not as free as you.”
“If you get a job, buy me a meal!”
.
.
.
That’s how the moment I tried to get out of the classroom.
“!!”
Chaewon opened the door and came in.
Because it was right in front of us, our eyes met for a moment, but I couldn’t see a slight movement in her expression.
“Will you move away?”
It was a cold voice.
Instead of answering, I turned my shoulder and grabbed the doorknob, and she passed me with a haughty expression.
“… … ”
Rather good.
obviously become a stranger
Not appealing my existence to her… It’s the best for now.
Still, we’re dating, but if you ask me if it’s a pity, it’s hard to answer for sure.
I also had a crush on her, so I guess we dated.
.
.
.
It was from a minor misunderstanding that a close relationship with Chaewon was rapidly formed.
In the classroom where she didn’t know she was there first,
I put my cultural genealogy on the locker for a while and went to pick up the umbrella I had left behind.
And when you come back… .
Chaewon, standing in front of the door, coldly looked me up and down.
-Do I look pitiful?
-… Yeah?
Perhaps she seemed like someone who approached her with the guise of goodwill, since it was difficult to find genealogy because she had no friends.
Adds to her shrill voice.
– It feels bad to be treated in a shady way like this, right? do you know?
-Uh, that’s…
I asked her as politely as possible.
– By any chance, do you take Professor Jeong Kyu-sang’s class?
-… ?
she rolls her eyes,
-Charak, charrak!
I checked the genealogy I was holding, and my expression began to change from angry to bewildered.
-… …
-I don’t think I saw it in class. I’m sorry if I misunderstood. You seem to be juniors in the same department.
-… …
The clothes Chaewon was wearing was a neck pole that covered her neck, and the redness to the tip of her chin was obvious.
The fact that her throat turns red when she gets embarrassed was Chaewon’s secret that I’ve never seen before.
I quickly resolved the embarrassing situation for her.
– Then, we’ll talk later. My part-time job time is coming soon. Use it if necessary. I have to pick it up again.
-… …
Same culture, different professor.
So the misunderstanding about genealogy was resolved.
However, from then on, the subtle war of nerves continued.
Every time we run into each other in the classroom, we may or may not say hello.
– Um, do you have something to say?
– You’re a senior. Take it easy.
-that… they say. Okay. do you need this Looks like a professor this time.
-… … okay… Because.
Once I opened my face, I couldn’t ignore it at all, so I think I took care of this and that indifferently.
Little by little, without harming her self-esteem.
Eventually, the day came when I unintentionally even accepted an apology.
-that… Last time… Sorry for misunderstanding…
-done. already forgot
-However…
-Anyway, it’s like a preliminary field trip this time, isn’t it? Because there are other people besides us… Let’s try our best.
-… … Yes.
As if Chaewon had something to say, the frequency of her face shining around me increased,
At some point, the tone had changed to a fairly friendly tone.
-That, senior…
-senior?
-senior!!
the problem is… Chaewon had no one to talk to except me, so rumors started to spread within the department due to the nature of the university.
The number of people who doubt our relationship increases one by one, and when I am thinking about it…
-senior… I like.
Her confession put an end to the trouble.
Of course, there were several courses in the middle, but…
Everything has passed, no, it has become nothing.
.
.
.
‘Now let’s think about it… ‘
I lightly shake it off with a sigh and head to the meeting place.
Chaewon lives Chaewon’s life.
I finish what I have to do…
‘What I have to do…’
For that, today is definitely a turning point.
If it goes according to plan, maybe today… Because it’s the day Jongsu brings ‘that’ game.
