Lee Hyun wanted to yell out in joy.
‘Finally it’s over.’
With the last exam taken care of, it was the start of the winter breaks.
The campus was covered with romantic white snow but he was just happy that he didn’t have to come back here until spring.
Other students were chatting in the hallway.
“How was it?”
“Introduction to virtual-society was way too hard. I totally messed it up.”
It was all irrelevant to Lee Hyun.
‘As long as I don’t fail.’
He was pretty optimistic about his grades.
Lee Hyun saw Seo Yoon sitting on a bench as he was trying to head home in a hurry.
Even in her winter outfit, her beautiful looks drew the male students toward her.
Incomparable lineage, outstanding looks, attractively tall and guaranteed future lying ahead.
Lee Hyun didn’t feel at ease hanging around with Seo Yoon.
“Some freshman named Lee Hyun in faculty of Virtual Reality is having a meal with her?”
“He is a freshman but I heard he’s a little too old to be a freshman.”
“Why in the world is she hanging out with guy like him?”
There were so many rumors floating around the campus.
Even the seniors in the faculty of Virtual Reality looked at Lee Hyun with discomfort.
But Lee Hyun wasn’t someone who gave in to these kinds of views about him.
He just hoped this dream of her wouldn’t last so long.
‘She doesn’t deserve a guy like me.’
Someday, an awesome guy that would be perfect for her will appear.
All he had to do was making sure she talks and protect her until she did not fear human interaction anymore.
Seo Yoon spotted Lee Hyun and stood up.
She walked toward him with rosy cheek perhaps caused by cold weather.
“Were you waiting for me?”
Seo Yoon nodded at his question and then spoke.
“Because of the winter trip.”
Her words were becoming more natural.
Lee Hyun didn’t mind it so much but to her he was the very person who grabbed her hand and pulled open her heart to the world.
Every time Seo Yoon spoke to him, she embraced the expectation and romance.
“Yeah, trip, huh.”
Lee Hyun clearly remembered what he said before.
Seo Yoon said she want to go on a trip with him.
It was a simple trip heading to seashore but he told her it would cost a million Won, which was complete nonsensical excuse to avoid the trip.
“Well, promises exist to be kept.”
Seo Yoon nodded in agreement.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I wanted to take a trip anyway. Plus I’m on a break now with plenty of time.”
She smiled in a happy, yet awkward way.
Of course Lee Hyun was planning to devote all of his time in Royal Road.
The hunting speed in Kapua Village was super fast compared to any other hunting grounds.
With plenty of quests, it was the best place to raise experience.
Lee Hyun continued softly.
“A promise is a promise. I’m just as sad as you are but I guess I’m going have to give you a rain check.”
Lee Hyun was trying to delay this trip indefinitely.
Suddenly, Seo Yoon opened her bag and grabbed out money.
“I earned expenses for the trip.”
It was at least 600 million Won.
To think that she earned this much in just little bit more than one month!
“Did you sell your items?”
He didn’t think of it when he made his promises but if Seo Yoon sold her equipment in Royal Road, it would be a piece of cake to earn that much.
“I earned by selling packed lunches.”
Seo Yoon earned this money purely with labour.
On her hand where she was showing the money, he could see blisters.
And some scars from getting cut and burning herself while cooking.
A woman who never had a hard time got hurt and exhausted for money.
“Will you go with me?”
With mixed feelings Lee Hyun couldn’t possibly reject her.
