Episode 206: Water and Fish (3)

A pure white race that sways with sharansha.

A colorfully decorated dessert that fills the table.

and.

“Oh, so are you going to keep going?”

"Huh? Uh, I guess it should. The kid I was teaching said, 'When is your sister coming? Will you come again?’ I kept thinking about it… .”

"okay? Uh, isn't it difficult to teach children? I thought it was amazing sometimes just looking at what the teachers taught us. To be honest, weren't we modest?"

"is it? Well, it must have been a little difficult if it was the same as when I was young. But the kids are nice and talkative, so it’s okay.”

"okay? Uh, then shall I go out once in the next week?

A group of girls sitting at the table and laughing out loud.

I was at a famous dessert cafe with a girly atmosphere.

“… … .”

I looked around.

Then there are the flowers on the table, the cute props that seem to break with a clicking sound when touched, and even the colorful teaware sets. Things that were unfamiliar to me caught my eye.

“Whew… .”

I had been building a wall with this space my entire life for 35 years, so it felt as if the cells of my body were rejecting the air in this space.

But I couldn't get out of this place.

Because this place... It was because it was a place made by the prospective college students who graduated this time to celebrate my birthday.

‘Sam, we will shoot today!’

Of course, I didn't think that these guys booked this place with pure intentions.

Because I've told them countless times that I don't like cafes with this kind of atmosphere.

'Hey, he must have been trying to confuse me.'

Normally, it's not easy. It was a remnant that would never go away.

However.

‘Hey, I’m deceived knowing I’m deceived knowing that.’

Today, I thought I would suffer even though I knew it.

Now in a few weeks. It was because they would not be able to face this kind of meeting and such cruelty after they entered college.

'Ttt, yes, it's only one day... .'

In spite of this, it was unavoidable that he could not easily adapt.

No matter how hard you put your heart, this kind of resistive magic wasn't easy to make.

"Phew… .”

I sighed softly, looking at the guys who were bursting into laughter.

‘This is how it feels to be tired even if you are still.’

I looked around to see if it was just me, and I saw men with facial expressions similar to mine.

It seemed that they were also brought here unintentionally and suffered the same pain as I did.

I slowly inhaled the bitter coffee, feeling a kind of camaraderie towards them.‘Everyone, be strong. Fighting.’

But then.

“Sam Joon-young.”

someone called me

As she gently raised her head, Yuna Kim, who was sitting next to her, was making an expression that she had something to say.

"Why? what's the matter?"

"that is… People over there.”

Then she pointed to a table outside the store and said to me.

Let's look at the place she was pointing to.

A colorless suit that is not too hard.

Sunglasses that are so dark you can't see your eyes.

It caught my eye as three men, who did not match the atmosphere of the lavish dessert cafe, had a parfait filled with strawberries in front of them, conversing with serious expressions as if they were plotting a traitor.

“… … .”

Then, seeing my expression, Yuna opened her mouth with a meaningful expression.

“That person. That's the person you saw then, right? The superintendent candidate.”

I sighed and nodded her head.

“… right."

Then a student who was listening to our conversation next to her opened her mouth with a startled expression on her face.

"Really? Is that person a candidate for superintendent?”

"Huh. The last time you came to our academy, I heard you introduced it like that.”

"okay? But why does the superintendent candidate come to our academy?”

"Well? Maybe he was asking Jun-young for some help?”

"really? huh great Indeed, it is just Because there are so many people who can take pictures just by looking at Junyoung’s name. Well… So, are those people here to meet Junyoung?”

“Ah, please. Anyway, that's a bit... If that's the case, you'll come right away and tell me, why are you doing that over there?"

"no. look. If you look at the atmosphere of those people over there, it's just that they didn't come here to eat dessert. is not it?"

Then he gently pointed to the table where Yoo Deok-hyeon was sitting.

Then, they caught my eye as if they were about 30,000 light years away from the chatty cafe atmosphere.

“Um, that’s what it sounds like when you say it, doesn’t it?”

"right? Yuna, haven't you been to the academy since then?"

“No, he didn’t seem to come to the academy… Oh, by the way, the last time I went to volunteer, I met him briefly.”

"really? Huh, then you're out of luck."

“But we didn’t serve in the same place… Just because we met while serving briquettes near the place we went... .”

"okay? Hmm, it's a bit vague then... Hey sir! What do you think, Sam? As a party, you know it well, don’t you?”

“That’s right, sir. Are you really here because of those people?”

Then he started looking at me with a look of anticipation.

“… … .”

There is a saying called Samgo Choryeo (三顧草廬).

Those who have read the Three Kingdoms will be familiar with this phrase, which is an anecdote containing the anecdote of Zhuge Liang, who hid in the land of Hyeongju, and Liu Bei, who tried to hire him.

Although it is common for people to understand this story as a beautiful story of a talented scholar living in the early night and a monarch who valued the scholar’s ​​abilities.

In these days, Zhuge Liang was actually embarrassed by Liu Bei's stalking, so I used to think that maybe she nodded her head.

because… Because that's exactly how I feel these days.

lately.

'Chief Kim. How would you like to work with me?’

When Yoo Deok-hyun first came to the academy and asked me to be with him.

‘I’m sorry, but I will decline.’

I made it clear that I would refuse.

Obviously, I appreciate the life he has walked, his passion, and his will, but it was because I couldn't hold hands with him, risking everything I had just looking at it.

‘First of all, the work with K-Edu is not yet finished, and we will have to start the national project in earnest from this year.’

But even so, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Because he knew better than anyone the path he had walked and the value of the path he wanted to walk.

so I.

'Phew… Then there is nothing you can do. Then how about seeing each other occasionally? You wouldn't even say you don't like it, would you?'

When he left me words full of regret. He gladly nodded his head.

'of course. It’s okay anytime, so come visit us often.’

Although he declined his offer, there was no reason to sever ties with him.

‘I wish he was helpful to me, but he’s not a person who can harm me.’

However?

'I'll see you here again, President. Haha, this world seems so narrow.’

As time went on, things were progressing in a slightly different way than I had expected.

Everywhere I go these days... … .

[Admission briefing session]

“… Rather than blindly choosing a special/in-house company, you need to be careful. If you look at the ‘High School Education Innovation Plan’ announced along with this revision of the college admissions system, the number of awards received, limited number of voluntary clubs, and no short thesis will be reflected in the student record… .”

“Haha, good to hear. I also strongly agree with Mr. Kim's statement. But I have a few questions... .”

[Broadcasting location]

“… … .”

“Hey, CEO Kim. It's been a really long time. Ah? What did you come here for? Haha, I am a candidate for superintendent. Of course, I came here to prepare for the debate.”

[Book signing event]

“… … .”

“Haha, Mr. Kim. I really enjoyed watching . Please sign me here too. There are a total of 33 books, including my son, grandson, and daughter-in-law.”

[Children Sponsorship for Undernourished Children]

“… … .”

“Hey, see you here again? Haha, it seems the world is really small. Isn't it?"

Anytime, anywhere, he and his attendants appear. Since I met him last time I went to the educational service, I've been seeing him so often that I don't know if it's coincidence or necessity.“… … .”

I shook my head and looked at where Yoo Deok-hyun was.

Then I saw them still torturing the parfait on the table with serious expressions.

At this point, it was a bit surprising.

‘No, how the hell do I know where I’m going? And doesn’t this person have an election?’

As far as I know, they are clearly on the verge of a superintendent election. Because I didn't have time to focus on one person like this.

“… Phew."

Well, since I'm a human too, the fact that there are people who know me this much wasn't too bad.

Because it was the law that men give their lives for those who know them, and women put on makeup for those who love them.

However.

‘It must be to some extent.’

I couldn't continue this ambiguous relationship forever.

It certainly didn't hurt what I was doing, but actually, it was helpful at times, but it wasn't bad enough to keep pretending I didn't know.

‘I’ll have to call you after today’s meeting is over.’

But then.

"Excuse me. The product you ordered has arrived.”

Suddenly, something strange appeared in front of my eyes.

That's right... … .

[CEO Junyoung Kim. Happy 35th birthday.]

It was a large cake with the message Happy Birthday to me.

Moment.

“Hey, that’s great, it’s huge.”

“Wow, this is almost the size of a Yuna body?”

“Hey, what is this? Didn't we do this?"

The students looked at the server in surprise.

Then, as if expected by the server with the cake, he pointed towards Yoo Deok-hyun.

“The gentleman over there ordered it.”

Let's turn our heads and look at the table with Yoo Deok-hyun.

I caught a glimpse of Yoo Deok-hyun bowing his head toward me.

The students who saw it looked at me with puzzled expressions.

“Sam, is this enough for me to visit once?”

"that's right. With this kind of sincerity, once in a while... .”

“Hey. This is really… .”

I nodded.

Because that's what I was thinking anyway.

At this point, it seemed like we had to see the end, whether it was death or rice.

“I’ll be there for a while.”
