58. Sleeve Insertion (2)

1.

I was unable to manage my expression when I heard the embarrassing answer to the embarrassing situation, and Min Ah-rin also began to panic when she saw me like that.

Still, she continued to speak as if she had caught up with her.

“Han Seung-gi, apply for the school trip again with that.”

“A school trip?”

I couldn’t understand her thought process from a while ago.

Why do school trips suddenly appear?

I remember talking about school trips on Wednesdays. She

As soon as she received the application form, she checked no attendance and submitted it.

Min Ah-rin looked quite shocked at the time, but the story came up for a short time and passed by. Because there were a lot of other things that were urgent.

But why is that story suddenly coming up now?

Does this mean that he will worry about my memories instead?

If it’s really like that, it’s too much of a mess.

In the first place, I had no interest in such an event.

I’m not the kind of person who cares about that.

A rough voice flowed from an incomprehensible conversation.

“Why is it suddenly appearing? What… Did you suggest that I go on a school trip?”

“That’s not an enemy ship!”

She denies her louder than usual.

Then she started talking again.

“Yeah, going on a school trip with you… I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time…”

“What is that…”

“Honestly, without you, I have nothing to do…”

“You can just hang out with your friends. Sung Yu-ri or people like that.”

“It’s not fun…. They just make fun of me endlessly…, Honestly, it makes me feel bad when I listen to it…”

Min Ah-rin is talking seriously, although she is rolling her eyes hard and it seems like she is lying to some extent.

“You’re going to give me 500,000 won just for that?”

“…… It’s like friend money…”

“Friend rain?”

“Because the part-time job for a friend’s acting job is 30,000 won… If you go on a school trip for 3 nights and 4 days, it’s 120,000 won…”

How else do you know that?

As I was standing in a daze at the completely unimaginable answer, Min Ah-rin continued to speak.

“For tutoring for the final exam, if you set it at 30,000 won an hour and do it once a week for about 3 weeks, it will be 180,000 won.”

“No… Then what is the accommodation fee?”

“Yeah…, Sometimes I come to your house to play… A little bit of free stuff…”

“Why don’t you come over to a friend’s house?”

“You used to be embarrassed to eat a snack at my house.”

I never thought I would know that.

It’s been quite a while since I went to their house to play.

I don’t have anything to say when I bring out that fact.

Were you originally such a smart kid?

A different look stands out today.

“That’s right, I heard that motel accommodation in Seoul cost around 50,000 won… Wouldn’t it be nice to get around 150,000 won…”

No, it’s a motel.

Min Ah-rin turns her eyes away and blushes as if she thought it was an inappropriate metaphor even after she said it herself.

There was something about the cost of lodging, but it seemed like that was the cost of coming to our house.

It’s surprising that he calculated all of those things one by one.

Why did I have to calculate all of that…… To be honest, I could tell without even looking at it.

It must have been because of my stubbornness.

He must be doing that because he knows that I will reject him if the calculations don’t match even the slightest bit.

When I thought about that, I felt sorry first.

I know a little bit about Min Ah-rin’s sense of money.

Didn’t I refund all of her reference books the last time she bought them?

As such, it is clear that Min Ah-rin did not have the knowledge of such a detailed amount.

So…… It must mean that they were all separately searched on the Internet.

I want to deliver that money to me casually.

I want to take me on a field trip like that.

Well, 500,000 won is a big amount for anyone to see, but I wonder if I’ve been applying too harsh standards to children.

My obsession with equivalent exchange can be described as trauma or mental illness.

You react sensitively to trivial financial transactions between friends, and you don’t want to receive even a single birthday present.

That’s not to say that when someone gives you something, you give back the same amount.

If you get a drink worth 500 won, you want to give it back by doing more than 1,000 won work.

Because otherwise, the pressure and anxiety would not be relieved.

I know that it is not a healthy accident at all.

Even so, I didn’t bother to fix it…….

In the meantime, I didn’t really have any friends, and I didn’t get anything from anyone.

And, just because I was comfortable with it.

Now that I think about it, I think it was a wrong idea.

Even though I had a friend named Min Ah-rin, wasn’t I acting the way I liked?

Isn’t it that I’ve been blindly pushing my standards?

Min Ah-rin knew that she didn’t give a damn about what she had to offer me, but she didn’t bother to bring it up, express her discomfort, and she kept me from reaching more than a point. Is not it.

Anyway, now I am a high school student, and no one knows the 25-year-old Han Seung-gi who went to Seoul National University.

From Min Ah-rin’s point of view, I am just her friend of the same age, not an adult.

You can say that the classmate pretended to be an adult and acted petty.

What happened was that the bloody guy was unnecessarily kind, so he kept putting up with uncomfortable things and just adapting to me.

I wonder if it’s right to look at someone like that while giving a present…….

To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to change this personality.

I thought it was not a problem that could be solved with my own efforts.

I wondered if that would be the case in the future.

Still, I think I can put in some effort.

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but it’s Min Ah-rin.

For example…….

“If you calculate like that, won’t you have 50,000 won left?”

“That’s… Just a gift…”

“A gift?”

“Among my friends, none of my friends received less than 50,000 won from me on their birthday? Um…, Since it’s your birthday…, I know you feel burdened…, But I hope you accept it comfortably…”

“…….”

From noble mtl dot com

“Cow, wish ticket!”

“Huh?”

“One of the wish tickets I received the other day. I’m going to use that…”

Something like this.

50,000 Won is a considerable amount of money to me.

Now, wouldn’t it be okay to endure a little bit?

Besides, that’s how I wrote the wish ticket that I had worked so hard for.

“Min Ah-rin.”

“Ugh, huh?”

It was the same voice as usual, but it was a voice that seemed embarrassed because of the situation.

If I felt sorry before, this time I felt cute.

I laughed when I thought that a 17-year-old guy would have searched the Internet for tutoring fees or motel fees because he wanted to give me something.

How did you know my characteristics so well and prepare for the equivalent exchange?

What makes a school trip want to take me so much?

I’ve always thought of him as my best friend, but it’s good that he seems to have similar thoughts.

Anyway.

If you’re an adult, shouldn’t you act like an adult?

If you’ve come this far, it’s only right for me to take a step back.

“Do you want to go eat ramen?”

“… Huh?”

I invited her over to her house.

She expressed her willingness to accept that 500,000 won.

“What are you doing? You’re not coming in?”

“Uh…, That…, Ah, no…”

2.

I can say my mindset has changed a bit over the weekend.

It wasn’t such a big change…… , Should I say that I became a little more lenient towards Min Ah-rin?

I put that 500,000 won envelope deep in my arms.

Perhaps by now they are warmly tucked in next to the pack of cigarettes, waiting for me.

It’s an envelope that instinctively feels pressure every time I see it, but I’m trying hard to endure it.

I was very grateful for Cheon Se-joon’s gift, but Min A-rin’s gift is in a very special place for me.

Since I received a gift, it is up to me to follow up.

I also left it up to me to deal with the burden.

I remember that the application deadline for school trips was probably today, but I think I can talk to my homeroom teacher later.

Oh, I never thought the day would come when I would go on a school trip.

Besides, Jeju Island. It’s a place I’ve only seen in pictures.

Anyway, that’s how I came back today.

Monday is the start of a new week.

As usual, I went to school early and spent time with Min Ah-rin, who became a little closer.

It could be because of my mood, but Min Ah-rin also seems to have become a little more comfortable with me.

Come to think of it, I could feel that the other kids are definitely relaxed these days.

I’ve been feeling this way ever since the midterm exams ended, and I can roughly understand why.

Originally, isn’t May the month with many events?

Right now, there is a school trip in the middle of this month.

Besides, one of the reasons is that it is the changing season heading towards summer.

I look around the classroom, but the boys are chatting among themselves.

The girls are also playing games among themselves.

It seems that everyone is not interested in studying.

And over there.

… ….

Why are they really doing that?

I keep doing that these days. What do I have?

What I was looking at was a group of men.

The guys in the front seat of the 3rd division, opposite me, who is at the back of the 1st division.

If there is something unusual…… Unlike the generally docile kids in my class, to the extent that he exudes an Iljin force no matter how you look at it?

They cut their clothes excessively and even paint their faces, making them burdensome to look at.

As much as our school is an atmosphere where even bullies play together, if there is nothing to do with them, that one didn’t approach first either.

A student ecosystem that fits perfectly with the term “League of one’s own”.

By the way, the atmosphere of the kids sitting in front of me was a bit strange.

It’s something I’ve started to feel lately, but he keeps making eye contact with me, and once he’s met, he never turns his eyes away.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like there is something dissatisfied with me.

No, even if it’s not a complaint, he looks like he’s full of things to say.

According to Min Ah-rin, they said that they approached her a lot before I transferred.

What, you say that I always stick with Min Ah-rin?

… ….

Ah.

You’re too self-conscious.

This is too embarrassing.

Anyway, except for those guys who started getting weirder lately, the atmosphere in the class as a whole felt floating.

It seems like these little kids are finally starting to enjoy their school life properly.

It’s cute when you look at it.

Um. It’s not really the time to talk.

Deal with Min Ah-rin…… No, it was a school trip confirmed as a gift from Min Ah-rin.

I hadn’t been interested in this at all until last week.

Now that it’s confirmed like this, I feel like I’m getting a little bit of anticipation again.

Looking forward to going out with high school students at this age.

Certainly, it seemed that my mind was trying to keep up with my body age.
