The DM from Cha Eunseong’s acquaintance included a photo of the jjimjilbang[Korean sauna] where Choi Jeha worked. Seeing that photo, I realized Choi Jeha was working part-time at the restaurant attached to the jjimjilbang, so I rushed over. Thanks to that, I could get tangled up with him again.

Choi Jeha wasn’t well off. Moreover, his grandmother, who had been collecting cardboard to make a living, recently collapsed. So he had to take on another part-time job, and when classes ended, while others were busy rushing to academies or tutoring sessions, he had to work. It was quite impressive that he still managed to maintain the top rank in school despite this.690dac1907682b2c

In reality, Choi Jeha didn’t want to go on the school trip. What’s the point of going when he doesn’t have any close friends? It would just be a waste of money. But when his grandmother saw the notice in his bag, she took out the money she had been saving up.ade09a9d1d03c5ac

Choi Jeha had a setting where he wore glasses due to poor eyesight until his awakening. Given his poor eyesight, he wouldn’t take off his glasses unless something special happened.
