32. Bare Face (1)

1.

In the end, I couldn’t see Min Ah-rin’s parents that day.

From what I hear, both of them are running businesses. I wonder if being an entrepreneur is a busy job?

Or maybe it’s just the two of you being a peculiar case.

How did businessmen get married when the family seems wealthy?

When you become a businesswoman, you will be sure of one concept of economics, but I still don’t know why Minah Lin, the child of such a family, bought more than 10 reference books from her.

Anyway, there are only 5 days left until the exam, and there have been some changes in the school class.

The classes started to progress one by one, and the self-study time increased that much.

Min Arin’s fatigue seemed to increase as much as her increased self-study time, but there was no change in me.

I’m not the kind of person who increases the amount of studying just because I’m ahead of an exam, and I’m not the kind of person who can see the effect of increasing it that way. And in the first place, my usual amount of study is more than most people.

So my day was the same as always.

Eat, sleep, cheap, study.

After studying, look at my YouTube channel that I made the other day, which is going down in real time.

A certain amount of subscribers presumed to be ajumma appeared, but it did not achieve the level of success that was expected.

Still, it’s not that this isn’t particularly fun, so YouTube has become my new hobby.

Anyway, as I was reading my math textbook while thinking about other things, the break time bell rang.

It didn’t sound very pleasant.

Yes what. I said that my day didn’t change much, but there were a few minor changes related to the exam.

At recess. My classmates came with a lot of questions.

“Seunggi, do you know what the social print is?”

“Seunggi, is this the right way to solve this? My academy teacher told me about it, but I can’t remember…”

“Han Seung-gi, can you tell me just one thing?”

A girl in my class was the one who used a hard tone at the end.

Originally, only men would talk to me, but these days more women talk to me.

Especially the schoolboys.

Are you approaching me because you are good at studying?

Although it was a bit annoying, I could feel its own cuteness as the little boys approached me nervously.

“Take this society print. See it and give it back!”

“It’s standard to solve that problem like that, but I solve it this way? It’s so easy and fast, so give it a try.”

“Uh, Sumin-ah. For what reason? I can’t help it if I don’t know.”

Still, I am busy.

Even if you deliberately increase the tension, it eats up your energy.

After finishing a short lecture with my classmate Kim Soo-min, I heard grumbling from the side this time.

“You’re not having a hard time? Every break, a bunch of kids come.”

“There’s nothing wrong with refusal. It’s over quickly.”

“It’s because it looks like too many. Kim Soo-min, who says he’s good at studying, came to ask a very simple question.”

“I don’t know, so I must have asked.”

“I heard that he attends a lot of academies. He only accepts close friends. You weren’t really close with Kim Soo-min in the first place.”

“The only person I’m close to is you, but what. Oh, Sejun is also there.”

“Uh, uh… Is that so…?”

“Anyway, I can do it myself.”

“Uh… yes…”

Still, being worried doesn’t feel bad.

Would you say it’s a different feeling?

Anyway, that’s how the test period got shorter.

2.

There are people who feel the test period is short, and there are people who feel it is infinitely slow.

I am the former type of person.

The same day was repeated over and over again, and the test was approaching one day before I knew it.

I still don’t feel it.

Because I’m not going to take it that seriously.

I’ve always been a regular fighter, and doing well on my exams didn’t do much for me.

Here’s one more person who doesn’t need a solid profile.

Of course, she’s not interested in building her grades, but she’s a person who cares a lot about midterm grades.

“Han Seung-gi, aren’t you nervous?”

“Not really. I’m ready, and it doesn’t matter if I can’t see it anyway.”

“Huh? If you can’t see it, you’re getting scolded by your parents, aren’t you?”

If you live while hiding your family circumstances, there are times when funny situations like this happen. I don’t have parents to scold.

“There’s no such thing. And the CSAT is more important to me than my grades.”

“Really? No, I’m still nervous…”

“Hmm.”

Yes. I still don’t know if one pair of glasses is that important.

…… No, it’s not because of the glasses, it’s just that I’m worried because I’ve been studying hard.

We were in the midst of going home from school.

The spirit of spring is still full, but students enjoying it were hard to see.

Including Min Ah-rin.

“Take a deep breath. The air is good.”

“I tried and it’s still the same.”

Min Ah-rin said it was the first time she had taken an exam so seriously.

That’s why it seemed like I was getting more nervous.

No, to be honest, I can’t beat the target.

They say that if Min Ah-rin exceeds the target, it means that I will lose the bet.

It’s not that sad, considering Min Ah-rin’s brains and hard work, it was strange that she couldn’t pass the 6th grade.

Hmm.

So.

It could be a little whim, or it could just be an impulse.

Today, I wanted to try my best for my student.

She could see food trucks on the side of the road from time to time when she went home with her.

It mainly sells pork skewers and chicken skewers.

Min Ah-rin seemed interested in the skewers, but she never bought them. At least in front of me.

I think she did it because she knew I wouldn’t eat it even if she bought it for me.

To be honest, there were times when I felt sorry for myself.

It was also a thankful consideration.

I still have a little money left over for this month.

I was able to leave some extra money, perhaps because I was at the height of my precious life.

What is this? It’s good to spend on drinking or smoking or saving money.

… ….

“Min Ah-rin, follow me.”

“Huh?”

I took her hand and went to the food truck.

I ordered two pork skewers.

Hmm. Chicken is good too, but pork tastes better for the same price.

“Han Seung-gi…? Are you crazy?”

“Crazy.”

“No, this is, no, you run a food truck, no, crazy. Jesus.”

“I have little money left these days.”

“No! That…!”

She was surprised by Han Seung-gi’s flex.

Anyway, while she was surprised, her food was ready right away, and I also took out 5,000 won from her wallet.

A price you can buy two bottles of soju or a pack of cigarettes.

“Eat one.”

“Uh… Is that okay?”

“Nothing is impossible.”

“That, though.”

“Okay. How much did I get from you?”

“I got more from you.”

The words are long.

“Because it’s the first time I’m spending money on someone. Eat well and relax. And you learned from me. You’ll do well.”

“Um…”

“Let’s go.”

“Uh… Thank you…”

He’s a smart person, and above all, he’s the person who taught by Han Seung-gi, the head of private tutoring at Seoul National University.

He did not intend to see him nervous.

3.

I couldn’t finish the skewers Han Seung-gi bought me until I got home.

No, something. I feel strange when I receive something like this.

The guy who always said he didn’t have money, said it was burdensome, and was extremely reluctant to buy things like that, suddenly became like this.

Looking at the skewer, he thought for a moment.

Why did I start studying?

Ah, Han Seung-gi’s glasses.

Coming to think of it, I think I forgot about an important bet.

We just study together and play together sometimes.

Even thinking about it now, I feel a little curious about how he looked without his glasses, but it wasn’t as much as then.

Well…….

I thought nothing would change even if I took off my glasses.

Chun Se-joon and Min Su-rin saw Han Seung-gi taking off his glasses, and they both evaluated that taking off his glasses was much better.

But what? Isn’t that obvious?

You look good with glasses on, but you look just as handsome with them off.

My friends used to say that Han Seung-gi looked very ordinary, but no matter how much I looked at it, that didn’t seem to be the case.

I think that Han Seung-gi is objectively good-looking.

His skin is fair and his eyes are large. It is covered by glasses, but there is also a tear point next to the eye.

And this is a bit embarrassing…… , I have a much nicer body than most men.

From noble mtl dot com

I’ve heard of that before.

If you have a crush on someone, that person will look prettier and more handsome for no reason.

When you see someone you like, you get a filter.

… ….

Ah, but that’s not the case.

I have a human crush, but can’t this be a rational crush?

I know my feelings best.

I stopped thinking about it and started eating the half leftover skewers.

Usually it was enough to eat in 3 minutes, but today I wanted to savor the taste a bit slowly.

For some reason, eating this really made me feel relaxed.

Yeah well, but I worked hard and listened to Han Seung-gi’s lectures.

Wouldn’t it work out somehow?

30 Minutes had already passed since I was eating the skewers with that thought in mind.

… ….

I still have some things to study. Didn’t time go by too fast?

I thought for a moment that I should quickly get rid of the skewers I ate and study.

I wasn’t about to throw away the skewer, but went to the sink to clean it.

Hmm.

Still, it was the first gift Han Seung-gi gave me.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have it as a talisman…… Want to
