Episode 187: Wonderland (2)

quiver-

As the bus came to a complete stop, the students in the bus began to murmur while looking out the window.

"uh… here is?"

“Hey, did you come here?”

"Jackpot case. It's my first time here.”

I looked out the window listening to their murmur.

Then in front of me.

‘If anyone asks about the future of the country, raise your head and look at the gwanak’

[VERITAS LUX MEA (the truth is my light)]

Since it was first opened in 1946, it has been regarded as one of the best universities in Korea in name and reality.

Seoyeon High School is a school that stands at the forefront of Dong Geon-Hong Guk Sung-Gwang-Myeong, a city in Chongqing and other cities.

KAIST vs Pohang University.

Yonsei University vs Korea University.

Sungkyunkwan University vs Sogang University.

A school with such a huge status that even a school with a few names doesn't even have a rival structure.

The appearance of ‘Seoyul University’, a national university corporation, caught my eye.

[shaman]

I looked at the huge iron sculpture that symbolized the initial letters of the National Seoyul University.

It was something I had seen almost every day for the past few years, but it was because it was a new feeling to bring the students here.

But then.

“Sam.”

A voice filled with dissatisfaction was heard.

I glanced around and saw Yuna Kim, who was sitting next to me, looking at me with that sullen expression of her manners.

"Why?"

“No, is this Wonderland?”

"Huh. However?"

“No, what kind of wonderland is this! Aww, I was deceived again!”

“Where the hell are you going?”

“I again… I thought it was an amusement park for some kind of land!”

Apparently, she was thinking of an amusement park near Seoul like Neverland or Seoyulland.

However.

“… Wake. There are 10 days left until your entrance exam.”

Until the end of the entrance exam, high school seniors could never go to an amusement park or become a body of freedom.

Because the time of high school 3 comes only once in their life. It was a time that had a huge impact on their lives.

“No, it’s not like this. Still, who would like to come to a place like this at a sensitive time due to the stress of the entrance exam?”

“… okay? But the other kids seem to like it?”

"Yes?"

“Look over there.”

As I pointed towards the students and spoke, Yuna Kim turned her head to look at the students.

OK.“Wow, are you really ‘Sha’? It’s amazing!”

“Hey, there’s a bus going inside the crazy school!”

"Oh my gosh! That sister is so pretty!”

Students looking out the window with curious eyes. I could see the students running around like foals on a spring day as if they were dying at a glance.

all… He seemed to be drenched in the scent of a flower called Seoyul University.

‘Seoyul University’

A school called Shadae or SNU, which occupies 1/6 of the total area of ​​Gwanak-gu. It is a school that sets the standard for a ‘good school’.

As for its status... In high schools at the township level, the moment when students from that school still pass Seoyul University.

[Congratulations. Yangpyeong’s pride Choi OO passed Seoyul University’s Korean language education department!]

[OMG! OO Kim's son Kim OO passed Seoyul University from time to time!]

[Hanbyeol High School Class 3 Park OO Passed Seoyul University Law Department!]

Not only the students' names, but also the names of the students' parents were all displayed on banners.

‘So everyone must be liking it.’

I looked at the students and smiled.

OK.

Yuna Kim, who looked at the students with a blank expression for a moment, shook her head and opened her mouth.

"no… Why does everyone like it so much?”

She then looked at me with a look that she didn't understand.

I smiled and looked at the students.

Why is Seoyul University in the spotlight? It was simple.

that is… … .

[Seoyul University graduates passing the bar exam, foreign affairs exam, and administrative exam 30~45%]

[The reason for both large companies and small and medium-sized companies is their ‘preferred Seoyul University’ creativity, problem-solving ability, etc.]

To the extent that the term ‘Republic of Seoyul University’ is commonly used, people from all walks of life in Korea are from Seoyul University.

Whether or not you have the name Seoyuldae not only determines whether or not you join the organization, but it also affects both your career and promotions.

'If it were... Even when I first started as an academy instructor, depending on whether or not there is a sign saying ‘Seoyuldae’, the number of ‘0’ attached to the salary will change and the title will change.’

I looked at Yuna Kim and said.

“Because this place is the best.”

Then Yuna Kim nodded her head.

“What is it? But Sam. Why did you say you were coming to Wonderland when you came here? Can’t we just say that we’re going to Seoyul University?”

I put a small smile on her lips at her words.

A lot of people say, ‘Seoyuldae! Even if they die, they are exchanging enormous amounts of money and time to send their children to Seoyuldae!’, but not many people were able to step inside the fence.

because.

[Seoyul University admission capacity 5,000 in 1999 → 3,000 in 2020]

This was because the entrance exam quota, which was close to 5,000 in 1999, was reduced to about 3,000 as of 2020, and the narrow door was getting narrower and competition was maximizing.

‘Only less than 1% of people can enter Seoyuldae.’

So, unless you put in a lot of money, time, and effort, to most of the students, Seoyuldae was like a mirage that was big and beautiful, but it was impossible to get close to.

‘I can see it, but I can’t go.’

However.

‘It is possible for our students.’

Most of the students currently attending our academy are capable of turning their dreams into reality. They were in the top 1% of the national exams.

‘Because I’ve been doing that for a while.’

So, as long as they don't be vigilant or fail to control their physical condition on the day of the entrance exam, most of the students who came here could dream of entering Seoyul University.

‘As long as you have enough fuel.’

So I wanted to fill their depleted fuel tank with fresh fuel.

It was because I thought that if there was enough fuel to move for the remaining 10 days, all the students at our academy would be able to set foot in the wonderland, a mirage called Seoyuldae.

And that way… I chose to create an 'experience' for my students.

‘Because there is nothing more memorable than an experience.’

I slowly opened my mouth towards Yuna Kim, who was looking at me with a puzzled face.

“It can’t be without Wonderland.”

* * * *

after a while. I looked at the students and opened my mouth.

“Come on, everyone, come along. The campus is a bit wide, so don't get lost while doing other things. If you ever feel lost, call the teacher right away.”

"Yes."

And immediately after that, I started to lead the students along with Eunsol and Lee Arin.

OK.

The Seoyul University Museum of Art (MoA) designed by world-renowned architect Rem Koolhaas.

Seoyuldae Gyujanggak houses 327,736 ancient documents and documents.

The central library has a solid design as if wearing armor.

A small pond, Jahayeon, etc., which is not clean but has its own charm.

Attractions within Seoyuldae passed by us.

so after a while.

[Seoyul University College of Education]

A familiar building caught my eye.

I swallowed the reddish-red waves created by the maple leaves, and slowly stopped in front of the red brick four-story building.

OK.

“Huh, it’s surprisingly high, isn’t it?”

Ayran exhaled her breath gently and said to me.

Looking at the dew on her forehead, it seemed that the 20-minute hike was a bit difficult.

'but… No matter how gentle it is, a mountain is a mountain.’

When she turned her head slightly, she saw that a bunch of other people were also making the above-mentioned faces.

“Come on, everyone worked hard. First of all, I will eat a light snack at the cafe in front of the Normal University and move to the Normal University.”

But then.

“Sam! It’s a big deal!”

Someone's voice was heard.

I turned my head to look at it and saw a familiar face. One of the former 20th Corps students was looking at me with a bluish face.

"Why? What's going on?”

“Yuna is gone!”

Yes?

I looked at her with her expression that I did not understand her English.

It was because I had seen them playing with the students in the middle of the line up until recently.

"Huh? What are you talking about. Weren't you with me just a moment ago?"“I did… A while ago, around the central library, Yuna said she wanted to buy something... .”

She had an expression on her face as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Then the students around them began to murmur.

I took the female student and moved to a place a little further away from the students.

“… Yes, did you make a phone call?

"no! I can't even call because my phone is off! How are you doing, sir?”

It was a situation I hadn't thought of.

After hearing her words, I immediately called Yuna.

OK.

[…] The customer can't answer the phone... ]

There were only rumors that it was impossible to make a call because the phone was turned off.

“… For now, Yuna will be found by her teacher. So let her calm down and stay where the teachers are.”

I hurriedly ended the conversation with the female student and explained the situation to Eunsol and Arin. Then I asked them to lead other students.

“… First of all, I will take a look around this area. The road may be at a crossroads, so please contact me as soon as Yuna arrives.”

Then they nodded their heads with worried expressions and began to lead the students.

While looking forward to seeing them, I slowly thought about where Yuna Kim could go.

She said, 'She said she was going to buy something, so it must be in a souvenir shop, an art museum, or in the Jahayeon area.'

If so, the scope was surprisingly narrow.

In terms of distance, it was because they were in a space within 200-300m.

I slowly turned back the way I had come and started looking around.

‘Please show me.’

However, she could not find any traces of Yuna anywhere she thought she might be.

She said, 'She must be wearing a school uniform, so she'll stand out... .'

At this point, I started to get a little worried.

Even if it is a Seoyul University campus in broad daylight... Because it was a strange world.

‘Once you request a broadcast from the school, and if that doesn’t work, report it to the police… .'

Then, with the feeling that it would be the last time, I approached Ja Ha-yeon.

Even when I requested a broadcast, I had to search for it as much as possible.

But then.

'Huh?'

In the distance, under the shade of the forest in Jahayeon, I saw clothes of familiar colors.

'Perhaps… .'

I approached him with a busy pace and checked the owner of the clothes.

Then that moment.

“Whew… .”

A sigh of relief escaped from my mouth.

It was because Kim Yuna, who was sitting on the bench next to Ja Ha-yeon, came into her eyes.

‘This guy… I didn't even know everyone was worried... .'

However?

The closer she gets to her... A strange sight caught my eye.

that is… Yuna Kim and her college student-looking young man were talking with a bright expression on their faces.
