He should have been fully devoted to Royal Road in order to make money instead of going to school.
As the sighing Lee Hyun continued, a conversation the female college students drifted into his ears.
“What courses are you attending for your major on Monday?”
“I enrolled in advance process of Regenerative Medicine, since I wanted to learn more about joint treatments.”
“Really? That’s great. I’m also going to it. Words going around that Professor Hanh Minsoo are really good at teaching it. What about you, Soyun.”
“Major’s Molecular Biology.”
“Whew! That’s tough. Bet the tests’ are killers.”
Three female college students are having a lively conversation.
There were many female college students coming to the University via buses so it wasn’t a strange thing.
‘They’re prolly medical students.’
‘Pretty cute girls…’
‘Good at studying also.’
Some passengers on the bus eyed the female college students with envy.
However, Lee Hyun thought the opposite.
‘I pity them.’
That’s six years of college!
The Medical field tuition is significantly more expensive than that of other majors. Even if one came from a decent household.
But in most cases, the Ministry of Education and the bank joined hands and prepare a system.
Student loans.
To receive student loans for nearly six years for the University; once you get out, it’d be debt piled on debts!
‘Tsk.’
Unknowingly, Lee Hyun’s tongue got cold.
Though unlike what really was happening, the female college student took it another way when she saw it.
“Ah Soyun, there’s a man over there looking at you drooling!”
“He seems to be the best looking guy on the bus.”
“Go and say something.”
The two girls forcibly urged the girl named Soyun on.
Soyun then came over to Lee Hyun as she was told.
“Sorry. I don’t plan to have a boyfriend since I want to focus on my studies.”
She said carefully and soothingly, as to try not to offend him.
Lee Hyun sighed deeply and replied instead of a simple bow of the head.
“I apologize that my behavior was misleading. So here’s my two cents on girls. You female college students drink coffee which is extremely expensive rather than just simply……”
Deed rooted prejudice against woman!
He deliberately and annoyingly explained just that bit and then slumped his head.
Sleeping on the bus helps plenty when you lack sleep while recovering your vitality! (as in quit drinking coffee and sleep more.)
Soyun watched the scene and didn’t know what to do.
‘She alright? Was it too shocking?’
Until they’ve arrived at the Korea University, Lee Hyun kept his head stationary like that.
“Deureureong, kuwuool.” (snoring)
The girls’ bitterness grew as he pretended to sleep.
‘This makes it look as if we’re the bad people.’
‘Still, he was too severe to Soyun.’
‘I want to ask for his contact info…’
The misunderstand increased when Lee Hyun arrived at the school and at his classroom.
The university’s lecture hall was large and magnificent, and was stocked with various state-of-the-art equipments.
Lee Hyun victimized himself.
‘This is where my tuition goes?!!’
Since the tuition money was already officially paid to the university, the cut was even deeper!
Since the money was gone, the resentment filled up quickly resolved.
‘Hayan also, is taking classes.’
Lee Hayan has a different major, so she didn’t have class on Monday. The only time where they were in the class was Liberal Arts on Friday.
‘Anyway, let’s enter the classroom.’
He did not know anybody in the class.
The senior student threw several welcoming parties and had invited him several times. The motive was that to have the students get acquainted with one another, form friendships from the curriculums, but Lee Hyun didn’t go.
The fee was 20000 Won. (20bucks)
Nothing in this world exists for free.
He even skipped the Admission Ceremony a week before. Usually, for most, at the beginning of the new semester shouldn’t be a time for them to be late.
In other word, the moment he first stepped into the class was his first time ever.
“Who is he? Don’t seem to recognize him.”
“Is he a returning senior?”
“I think he’s on the waiting list. What his student ID?”
The students who were taking the class noticed him and whispered amongst themselves.
Lee Hyun steadfastly ignored them and took a seat, and then opened up his laptop.
An old, outdated laptop.
It was a relatively inexpensive item from the marketplace on the internet. It was heavy and crude, but the performance wasn’t that far behind others.
However, Lee Hyun’s face lit up with embarrassment.
‘I don’t have any books.’
The lecture was on the Existence of Virtual Reality.
He didn’t know what kind of textbook to get so it had completely slipped his mind.
Lee Hyun was sitting there in embarrassment when a book slipped in the middle from the girl sitting beside him.
“You can share with me.”
“Thank you.”
“No problem. likewise to Seonbae-nim too.” (Senior classmen.)
“……”
