I've Been Possessed, But What If I Get Pregnant First? - C32
#32
“So I have to eat breakfast quickly and go to the academy.”
After agonizing over it last night until my head exploded, I came up with a way to go to the department experience fair. And now, while having breakfast with Kwon Taebeom, I was eagerly persuading him by bringing up the reason I thought of yesterday.
“Why do you have to prepare for the April mock exam even on Saturday?”
As expected, he drank his coffee with a displeased face.
“Because I’m not doing evening self-study. So it’s like a supplementary class…. Something similar to that!”
“Do you do this every week?”
“No!”
If I said yes, he seemed ready to tell me to quit the academy right away. I hurriedly denied it and continued,
“The March mock exam is usually the mo-, most important, but since I couldn’t take it in March, I have to do well on the April one at least….”
“What time does it end?”
“Probably um… around 4? 5?”
“Isn’t the end time usually fixed?”
I roughly brushed it off because I didn’t know when the department experience fair would end, but Kwon Taebeom caught on.
“Well, you have to solve the wr-, wrong answers again each time. Haha…. I’ll call you as soon as it’s over. I promise.”
Only after arduously getting his permission could I pack my bag. I put on the light pink jacket Kwon Taebeom bought me yesterday and went out. He glanced at my outfit and smiled faintly as if satisfied.
‘Is he happy now that I’m wearing what he bought me? He’s cute at times like this.’
He changed the bandage on my hand and I got in his car, which he said he would take me directly to the academy. On this particularly sunny day, I stretched my hand out the window.
“It’s dangerous. Put your hand down.”
“Yes.”
As soon as I put my hand back inside, Kwon Taebeom immediately closed the window. With a wistful heart, I took in the scenery beyond the glass window. I could feel the season of cherry blossoms rapidly approaching. The trees planted here and there were sprouting little by little for blooming.
“I’ll be back. I’ll go by myself later.”
“Don’t say unnecessary things and wait for me. I’ll come pick you up on time.”
“Okay.”
I knew he would do that anyway. I waved to Kwon Taebeom and entered the academy building. When I went up to the 7th floor, I-jun was standing in front of the tightly closed academy door.
“Hyung!”
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Did you wait long?”
“No, I just got here too.”
I-jun’s face, who said he had come back from a part-time job since early morning, looked a bit tired. I-jun and I headed back out of the building. In case of unexpected situations, I didn’t forget to exit through the opposite entrance, not the side where I had parted with Kwon Taebeom.
“Huh…? Hyung, you had a car?”
“Ah, uh….”
It may be a preconception, but I-jun’s clothes always looked modest, and since I first met him at the convenience store where he works part-time, I didn’t expect him to have a car. It was also a pretty expensive foreign car.
“Grandma just gave it to me as a gift.”
“Wow. Were you born with a silver spoon, hyung? I’m jealous.”
“You’re the one with the limitless black card though.”
I-jun opened the passenger door with an awkward face. Oh…. This guy has good manners? He seemed like he would be very popular regardless of alpha, omega, or beta types. Feeling proud for no reason, I got in the passenger seat with a smile, and I-jun also got in the driver’s seat and started the engine.
“Your card isn’t mine, but I’ll treat you to lunch today!”
I playfully laughed, sticking the matte black card to my forehead. The weather was nice, and although we were going to the fair for department experience, my heart was excited for the first free outing in a long time. I enjoyed the fluttering spring breeze outside the window.
There were a lot of people at the department experience fair held at a university in Seoul. From high school students in uniforms to college students and parents, a huge crowd filled the inside of the school.
“Shall we go to the computer engineering department this time?”
“Sure.”
Actually, I had no interest in the engineering side, but I nodded and followed him, thinking I-jun might be different. Then, due to the students who rushed in as a group, I got separated from I-jun, who was walking ahead, and he looked back at me.
“Yuwon!”
“Ah, wait a sec- oof.”
“Oh no, what do I do! I’m sorry!”
I bumped into a female student who was talking to her friend and didn’t see in front of her. The female student who made eye contact with me blushed and bowed her head.
“It’s okay, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Ah, no no, I-, I’m sorry.”
“It’s really okay. Then, see you.”
Perhaps embarrassed that she had inconvenienced someone by not looking at others, the female student was busy avoiding my eyes. After smiling and saying it was okay, I ran to I-jun, who was waiting for me from afar.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, we just bumped into each other slightly.”
“You got lipstick on your clothes.”
Maybe it got on when we bumped earlier, but there was a pink lipstick mark on the ivory-colored knit. Rubbing it with my hand only made it spread wider, so I gave up and smiled awkwardly.
“Oh dear…. You’re right. I’ll have to wash it when I get home.”
“Hold on here so you don’t lose it again.”
I-jun pointed to his waist and said. Uh… if I hold it like this, the clothes will stretch. Come to think of it, aren’t these clothes also very expensive?
Instead of the clothes I-jun pointed to, I held his hand.
“Why do that and stretch the clothes? We can do this. Let’s go quickly!”
Seeing the long line already at the experience booth, I felt impatient. Time was tight if we wanted to look around everything and go by 4 o’clock. I pushed I-jun’s back, who was standing blankly, and pointed to the corridor where people were lined up in a long line.
It was a bit chaotic and crowded, but I was able to experience most of the departments I was curious about. Maybe because it was too hectic, I felt refreshed as soon as I came out of the main building.
“Here. Drink this.”
“Thank you.”
When we sat on a nearby bench, I-jun handed me an ion drink. Seeing that he opened the lid for me, looking at the bandage wrapped around my hand, he was really a person with manners ingrained in his body. No matter how much I think about it, it’s such a waste to give it to someone else. If he had a younger sister here, I would have introduced her right away. With a wistful heart, I licked my lips and drank the drink I-jun handed me.
“Was today’s help useful?”
I-jun, who had put the brochures divided by department into his bag, asked.
“Yes, totally. I think coming here was a good decision.”
“Really? I still don’t know what’s what.”
I-jun rubbed the corners of his eyes and sighed as if he was tired. Maybe because there were many people inside the building and it was stuffy, I-jun’s face was flushed. I purposely stuck close to him so I-jun could go to a shaded area. Then I-jun lifted his head with a startle and moved slightly to the side.
‘You brat, why are you surprised? I won’t eat you, I won’t eat you!’
I laughed, thinking he felt like a cute younger brother. But suddenly, I became curious about what story I-jun was hiding. I blurted out what I had been thinking to I-jun, who was looking up at the sky with his head tilted back.
“You originally attended this school, right?”
“How… did you know?”
I-jun looked at me with a startle.
“I saw earlier that you seemed very familiar with this building. You knew where everything was.”
“…I see.”
“But why are you attending a retakers academy? Can’t you just transfer majors?”
If it’s Korea University, it’s the best university in Korea, and if you don’t like your major, you can just transfer, can’t you? When I stared at him with a face asking him to speak in detail, I-jun scratched the back of his head and answered,
“You can’t… transfer to the medical department.”
“Medical department?”
“Actually, I’m scared of blood. A doctor who is scared of blood. It didn’t make sense from the beginning. I tried to quit countless times, but my parents opposed it, so I couldn’t, and now I’m just living like this.”
Oh, damn…. As expected, occasional leisure was seen in a hard life. It’s like a style of a slightly rebellious young master of a wealthy family, right?
I-jun, who was drinking the drink with an embarrassed face, seemed to have a halo around him.
As expected. It was such a pity at times like this that he didn’t have a younger sister. Still, I should become close with this hyung.
I twinkled my eyes at the golden rope… no, diamond rope unfolding before my eyes.
“Hyung, what do you want to eat for lunch? It’s completely late lunch.”
“Let’s eat at the school cafeteria before we go. Korea University’s cafeteria is cheap and delicious.”
“We can eat something more expensive though….”
But I was hungry, so I followed I-jun to the student cafeteria. As I-jun said, the school cafeteria was very cheap and of good quality, and among them, the pork cutlet was the best. Thinking that I could eat this kind of food every day if I attended Korea University, it motivated me in many ways.
After eating a late lunch and early dinner with I-jun, we left Korea University and headed to the academy.
“I said I’ll take you home.”
“It’s okay. Actually, I snuck out without someone knowing.”
“Who?”
“There’s someone who gets very jealous.”
When I giggled thinking of Kwon Taebeom, I-jun glanced at me and gripped the steering wheel tightly. Thanks to the signals changing in a row, we were able to arrive in front of the academy earlier than expected. After checking that there was still some time before Kwon Taebeom would come, I got out of the passenger seat.
“Huh? You can just go.”
“Still. Can you really be alone?”
“Of course. I’m really grateful for today. Thanks to you, I think I’ve organized my thoughts.”
I bowed my head and sincerely thanked I-jun. He drove me back and forth today, and thanks to that, I also found out there was a department experience fair.
“I’m glad it was helpful. Wait, you have an eyelash here.”
I-jun suddenly brought his face close. Startled by the face that drew near in an instant, I took a step back, and I-jun showed me the eyelash stuck to his finger and smiled.
‘Ah, you startled me. How can a young kid be so handsome?’
The atmosphere became awkward as I was startled by the face that suddenly approached. My surprised heart beat slightly.
