Just like me in the apocalypse, the closer Seo-ah in the apocalypse got, the closer our relationship in reality became, as if it were natural.

Even though I didn't do anything in particular, Seo-ah's liking her for me rose so sharply that it felt like I was on automatic hunting in real life.

All we do is go to school together, sit side by side in the same classroom, listen to lectures, eat lunch, and go to school together.

No, looking at it this way, it was a structure that couldn't help but increase favorability.

In fact, we all laughed at the thought of us being stuck together all day, to the point where it was strange that we weren't climbing.

My past self, who came into the world as an orphan without any parents, promised that I would live better than anyone else, and that I would not give up and overcome the shackles of school violence in a poor environment, and eventually enter the most famous university in Korea and live only by studying. .

What would you think if you looked at me now? I was curious.

Even if I met a woman, I promised myself that I would meet a woman or not only after I graduated and found a decent job.

"It's fun… "

It was said that a person's life does not turn out the way he wants or planned, and now he completely understands what he means.

Who would have expected it?

From the bizarre game app called Apocalypse, to the fact that as soon as I enter college, I will become close friends with a girl who seems prettier than a celebrity.

If I did well, I could become closer to Seo-ah as seen on the smartphone screen, and a smile came to my face at the thought that I might be able to overlap my body with Seo-ah like I was in the apocalypse.

However, I had never met a woman before, and since I was only studying, I had no knowledge of dating, so I had no idea what to do here.

It seemed like we could be much closer than we are now, but it seemed so far away that we couldn't get closer and kept maintaining a certain distance.

"…"

I continued to stare blankly at the smartphone screen.

She said she would call the professor and talk briefly and ask him to wait, but I don't know when she will come.

It had only been 10 minutes since I started waiting, but strangely enough, it felt like 20 minutes had passed, which was twice that long.

If it's late, I'll at least contact you separately. I was anxiously waiting for Seo-ah, thinking that she would at least contact me if it seemed like it would end soon.

By the time an additional 10 minutes had passed.

From afar, A appeared with her long brown hair fluttering.

She still boasts a beautiful beauty, and unlike the beginning when she had a blank expression, now a slight smile can be seen on her lips.

If people who knew her from before saw her now, they would be very surprised at how much she had changed.

"I waited a long time. I'm sorry."

"Did you finish the story well?"

"Yes."

Naturally, we stood side by side and started walking.

Why did the professor call me? When I asked one by one what the two of them had talked about, Seo-ah did not show any sign of discomfort and explained everything one by one.

"So are you planning on doing it?"

She says that the descriptive answers she wrote on this test were so fantastic and unconventional that she was later asked to come to graduate school.

It's just a graduate school that is often called hell or a slave training center, but wouldn't it be different if it were a graduate school at the best university in Korea?

When I looked at her as if I was envious of her, she gently shook her head.

"I refused because I thought it would be difficult."

When she said she simply refused because it would be difficult, she laughed bitterly, saying, "I'm just like you."

"But wouldn't there be some benefit?"

"There's no need to be stuck on that path even though it's not the path I want."

It wasn't wrong.

No matter how much money she can make and social reputation, she can. What's the use of a job if it's hard and you don't want it?

It's clear that sooner or later I won't be able to hold on and will run away.

Therefore, if you feel like you are not going to be able to endure anyway and are about to give up, not even thinking about it and not even trying from the beginning can be of great significance in that it saves you mentally, physically, and most of all, precious time.

"But I heard that the professor is famous for not letting go once he bites."

The professor who called Seo-ah was famous in school as a crazy dog.

If there is a talent you really want, you don't give up and keep going even if you get rejected.

So, the seniors even advised him to be careful and pay attention to even the smallest things he did in front of the professor.

"…"

When she heard what I said, her pretty eyebrows her slightly furrowed, as if she knew it well.

Soon, she let out a deep sigh, saying that she never dreamed that they would pick on her and be greedy even though she was only a first year student.

"Well… I can't help it, right?"

"Yeah… "

Seo-ah's mood was down.

When she got the feeling that I had made a mistake, she started telling me various stories to try to lighten my mood.

We talk about what happened in our department and what we plan to do in the future, but it feels like the place where the mad dog bit keeps hurting me.

"Well… Seo-ya. Is there anything I need to go home early today?"

"Why… ?"

Seo-ah asks with a look on her face that she doesn't understand why she's asking such a question.

"Let's just hang out together."

"…"

I thought we had become quite close with her, but I guess we can't just go to and from school together forever.

Like me and Seo-ah in Apocalypse, I wanted to slow down the progress a bit.

Just as I like Seo-ah, Seo-ah would also like me if her body and mind are somewhat assimilated with Apocalypse's self.

As proof of that, I saw her blushing face as she fell as I said these words, which in a way were like asking her out her on a date.

For a while, neither I nor Seo-ah said anything.

She just stands side by side without saying a word and moves on with her steps.

Before she knew it, she had left the university grounds and entered the bustling city, and it was only then that she opened her mouth.

"Good…"

I was secretly delighted with the answer that we should play together.

"Where are you going?"

Then she stopped, stiffening her body in response to her question.

She didn't think about the most important thing.

Where should I go? Where should I go so she likes it?

Since she had no dating experience and no friends, no answer was immediately available.

She must have been somewhere. She didn't even go there and guessed that she might like it here, but she urgently looked around her in the uncomfortable reality that she couldn't just move on.

She frowned at the sight of a street full of bars and billiard rooms.

She doesn't drink unless it's necessary, and she doesn't know how to play billiards, so even if she went to those two places, the atmosphere would only become more awkward, and there was no way they could get closer.

So which would be better?

I try my best to shake her head, but it doesn't work. When it comes to her, her, her love life, she just keeps her head turned hard and doesn't give any answers.

When she saw me wandering around like this, not knowing where to go, she said something like this. She did and she smiled involuntarily.

"What's there to worry about? Just go anywhere."

There was a lot of time.

Today's lectures already ended at 2 o'clock, so we left school quickly.

At least there were still 9 hours left until 11 o'clock before the subway stopped running, so there was no need to rush.

So, she didn't have to worry about anything and she just said that if there was a place she wanted to go, she would just go there.

I walked with Seo-ah, agreeing that there was plenty of time and no reason to rush.

I wandered around the city.

It was a road I always took, but it was the road I walked with Seo-ah, and this was the first time I had looked at the area around this street in such detail.

It was my first time knowing that a store like this and a facility like this existed here, and Seo-ah was equally amazed and very happy.

Amidst the gentle smile, I had a small wish for that face to smile brighter.

It was our first time, but like any other couple, we went to most places.

As I wandered around here and there and even grabbed snacks without hesitation, the sun, which was high in the sky, had already come down to just above the top of the mountain.

"Where should we go now?"

Still, there was still time left.

We had no reason to go home quickly, so we were naturally full of plans to have more fun, as if we were going to eat dinner.

"Okay. Where should we go now…"

Seo-ah was thinking about my question.

As a crowd gathered in front of me, I quickly grabbed Seo-ah's wrist and pulled her toward me.

Then, Seo-ah was helplessly dragged into my arms.

"…"

"…"

Her Seo-ah, who was looking up at me in her arms her, and my gaze her her, who was looking down at her in her arms her, crossed.

Our faces turned red little by little without anything to do.

"Are you okay…?"

I later asked if there were any injuries.

Seo-ah said, "She doesn't get out of my arms, but she leans even more into her body and nods her head."

"Yeah… It's okay."

He is fine.
