Many eyes were focused on her as she walked up to the podium to take the oath as the freshman representative.

Nevertheless, she didn't care, and as she walked up the stage without hesitation, I let out an exclamation of admiration without even realizing it.

Because it seems like this isn't the first time he's acted so calmly, let alone getting so many eyes on him.

She has a pretty face, a unique body, and a very wealthy family. I never thought she would be good at studying.

I don't know what I can't do.

Ah… If I had to point out something I couldn't do, would it be that I couldn't live alone in a world destroyed by zombies?

The platform looks like a cliff. I feel like my hand will never touch Seo-ah, who stands quietly on that cliff and reads the oath like a bright flower looking at the sun.

I know Seo-ah's cute and charming side that others cannot see.

Even though I only glimpsed a world in a game that seemed neither real nor fake through a smartphone screen.

I laughed bitterly.

Let's not have unnecessary expectations.

Not only did Seo-ah show interest in me and start talking to me, she started asking me questions.

Looking at her reaction, it doesn't seem like she knows anything about the game Apocalypse, so even if she had high expectations, the disappointment would be indescribable if the results did n't meet her expectations.

My heated emotions cooled down.

By chance, the situation coincided, and I calmed down my mind that she had had useless expectations by scolding myself and saying that she had just misunderstood something.

Soon after, the oaths of all freshmen representatives were completed and Seo-ah came down from the podium.

Not only was she amazing at studying, but her appearance was also ridiculously pretty, so the freshmen's eyes showed no sign of falling off.

Envy, admiration, jealousy. And, despite the lustful look in her eyes, she casually returned to her seat next to me and sat down.

And even so.

"…"

She rested her chin again and looked at me with a burden.

She didn't say anything this time, but her gaze continued until the entrance ceremony was over.

Because of this, I couldn't concentrate at all on the entrance ceremony and couldn't remember anything about it.

Even if it weren't for Seo-ah's gaze her, even if she had it, it wouldn't have any meaning to her, let alone her use her, and the part of her brain that is in charge of her memories may have erased it of her own accord.

Anyway, it means that it was that burdensome.

After the entrance ceremony, the seniors were gathering the freshmen who were all ready to go home for a welcome party for new students.

At the center of it all, of course, was Seo-ah.

Her her seniors her her her, no, the men were anxious to drag her to the freshman welcoming party by blatantly revealing her blatant lust to Seo-ah.

However, Seo-ah didn't seem particularly interested, as if she didn't know their feelings.

Seo-ah's heart doesn't budge even though she tries to gently seduce her with sweet temptations, such as saying that the genealogy will be useful for a particular professor because the test content is the same, and that he will give the genealogy to her as soon as she comes to the new student welcome party.

She was just glaring at me.

"You were in our department too, right?"

A senior woman who was not interested in Seo-ah at all and was showing her jealousy approached me and asked,

"Yes, that's right."

"Are you going to come to the new student welcome party?"

Going straight to the point, I thought for a moment when asked if I would come to the new student welcome party.

Honestly, I'm not used to places like this, so even if I went, it was obvious that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it and would just be wasting my time.

If that's the case, study… No. It occurred to me that seeing myself in the game world would be a much more meaningful way to waste time.

However.

"I'll go."

Nevertheless, I decided to go.

"Okay. What's your name?"

The senior nodded her head and asked her name.

"This is Jaewon Han."

He immediately told me his name.

The senior slowly looked at the paper she was holding in her hand and said, "Ah." After saying she was here and ticking off with her brief reply, she left without a second thought.

"I'll go."

And while she was looking at me, who had not listened to the pleas of her seniors, she made a bombshell statement saying that she would go as if she had been waiting.

Only then did the male seniors become filled with joy and go further to invite Seo-ah to go with them, but Seo-ah was still as impregnable as ever.

I don't know why I suddenly changed my mind.

But what is so important about why she suddenly changed her mind?

In order to enjoy the honor of being able to be with her even for a moment, I started to use my courage again to somehow get selected by her.

However, ignoring the male seniors she knew, she looked at me one last time and then left.

Likewise, I also left as I had no reason to be here.

A smartphone rings as soon as you leave the auditorium.

She took out her smartphone from her pocket and checked the screen.

It's a text message from an unknown number, but seeing as it's an announcement that there will be a new student welcome party at a bar right in front of the university at 6 PM today, it's clear that it's from a department member or someone related to him.

It's 6pm…

There is still too much time left.

When I turned my gaze, the university's magnificent buildings welcomed me.

A large site and a beautifully designed park.

It's definitely a perfect place to spend time until the evening.

To get to my room from here, I had to take the subway and bus alternately, and even the money I spent on that ride felt like such a waste.

Since you have to go and come back, you are sure to lose a lot of money.

In that case, I decided to just spend time walking around the university until 6 o'clock, when the new student welcome party was held.

As I was walking around, feeling the wind blowing gently. I was able to spot a familiar face in the distance.

"Minseo… ?"

Her name is Min Seo-ah.

Her long, shiny brown hair fluttered in the wind.

I couldn't help but stare at her blankly for a moment, seeing her her picture-like appearance.

Did he feel my gaze like this? Seo-ah's eyes turned to me.

The eyes of her gradually get bigger and the skin of the face her her turns red at the same time.

Seo Ah dropped her feet from the ground and slowly approached me.

"Han Jae-won."

When the distance narrowed enough to clearly see each other's features, she called me.

"Han… Jaewon…"

As if once wasn't enough, he said my name again and narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know. I can't."

Two red eyes stared straight at me and asked a question.

"No matter how much I think about it, I don't know you… What the hell… Why are you like this?"

She gently raises her hand over her huge chest and asks a question whose meaning is unknown.

"What are you… ?"

"Even if you ask me that, I don't know. Just like you don't remember me, I don't remember you. No, if we met in the past, I can't forget you."

Once a strong memory is stuck in a person's mind, it is difficult to forget it.

For example, the bad relationship that continued in middle school continued in high school, and I remember even the smallest details, including the faces and names of the trash that bullied me, and what they did to me.

Therefore, if she had seen Seo-ah, whose appearance seemed to go far beyond the human category, even once before, she would never have forgotten it.

Whether now or when she was young, her appearance must have been the same and pretty.

"…"

She looked at me without saying anything for a while, then looked away.

"Minseo. My name is Minseo."

She suddenly tells me her name.

But I already know that.

"Be sure to come to the new student welcome party."

With those words left behind, Seo-ah passed by her, and she continued walking without stopping. Before I knew it, she had disappeared from my sight.

"What? What?"

Her incomprehensible behavior seemed like a difficult problem that humans could not solve, like the Seven Wonders.

*

After breaking up with Seo-ah, I spent a lot of time at the university. As 6 o'clock approached, I left the school grounds and headed to the bar where the new student welcome party was being held.

The store was crowded even though it wasn't yet 6 o'clock.

There were many faces I had seen at the entrance ceremony, and there were also many I had not seen.

They are probably seniors in the same department.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be among the new students and already drinking.

I searched for an inconspicuous corner with the intention of getting genealogy or just the information I needed.

However, I was not the only one who came with this idea, and someone had already occupied the corner that could be considered a good spot.

In this case, I need to find a place that is less conspicuous. What would be a good place?

While slowly looking around to find the right place.

The once noisy store suddenly became quiet.

Soon, the drunk male senior stood up and smiled.

He passed by me, taking a risky, unsteady step.

"Hey! You're a freshman named Seo-ah?!"

He nagged at Seo-ah, who had just come inside.

I was displeased without knowing why.

Without realizing it, I relaxed my clenched fist and shook my head.

"What are you doing? Just stand here quietly."

However, Seo-ah ignored the male senior who approached her and came straight to me and spoke to her.

"Huh… ?"

"Let's go and sit down."

She grabbed my wrist, dragged me to a suitable seat, and then sat me down next to her.

The quiet inside of the store suddenly became noisy again.

The main character of this commotion was none other than me.
