VLA | Chapter 1.13

Kwon Ram said briefly to Cha Sooha. Cha Sooha nodded immediately. He planned to find out what the “urgent matter” was over a meal. Kwon Ram passed by Cha Sooha and Seo Yoonjin and entered the lecture hall.23b1ada4c72e2997

Seo Yoonjin looked a bit taken aback by being treated like a transparent person. Cha Sooha chuckled and said to her, “You didn’t confess and get rejected, did you?”4fdddc7e61c3cd19

[I’m at the library. Text me when you’re done.]

Cha Sooha sent the message and went to the library to find a place to nap. He planned to kill time there until Kwon Ram’s elective ended.cd61f761eef1a5f6

Finding an empty spot, 225a615fd9 Cha Sooha plopped down. He thought af56cd94a8 maybe trying 5c0883b6ae to date b3f185ccf6 properly was 0783024450 causing the 4dbd95a467 awkwardness. Should he just 1efcab62c2 go with his 468cab3ed3 style?8a7cadc598d8bcac

After hearing what the urgent matter was, if it was genuine, he’d ask Kwon Ram to buy him drinks instead of a meal. Then, while drinking, he’d send clear signals to Kwon Ram.8f4473e204a61e55

Judging by how Kwon Ram treated Seo Yoonjin, he seemed to have zero social skills. He wasn’t the type to offer meals out of guilt. For someone like that to say he’d buy a meal because of an urgent matter? Cha Sooha thought it was likely genuine.fe632142cb297098

The place 6b1cf8ff71 Kwon Ram cfe027a6e4 took Cha 396485a6b1 Sooha was f0221ab048 a fancy ac46211f3c shabu-shabu restaurant. The meat was 7a40017058 all-you-can-eat, but the 0df27562b4 portions were so e69389cd4a large and the 3501a8c6fa quality so good f6e7551446 that even one 390d0a049b round was filling.

Then he e6a7aa50da suddenly remembered 5de618e676 that Kwon e03c6a2b96 Ram would faf488dd30 commit suicide 04cba57251 in four 315c2fb8ec years.25f6e7b3e69b4c72

Of course not. Cha Sooha nodded. If he had a religion, he probably wouldn’t think of suicide so easily. After hearing the answer, Cha Sooha hesitated for a moment. Knowing the future where Kwon Ram would die by suicide, it felt wrong to just watch.7ab0a0fd988fba11

Maybe he should prevent Kwon Ram’s suicide in four years and claim child support from him? After all, once he gave birth, the inheritance would go to the child.377be4510069babe

If he could receive child support while Kwon Ram was still alive, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Or would it? If Kwon Ram got married, would his child become illegitimate? Would the inheritance be shared with other children then?00cc509ea9e9646d
