DWWWB Ch 2 part 1

“Huh? Oh Milhee? You came to the club meeting?”

She was a friend who had a particularly loud voice. My classmate Heesu, who was in the same department as me, found me in the lecture room where the club association meeting was being held and waved at me, expressing her joy.

“Yeah. All the sunbaes didn’t come to school today. And I’m the club’s representative. That’s why.”

I answered in a quiet voice.

“Hey, sounds like your club’s a mess, too.”

She nodded as if she knew what I meant and sat down next to me. Heesu’s voice was still too loud.

“That’s not true.”

If a rumor spread that a second-year student attended the club association meeting instead of her sunbaes while making a fuss about how the club was such a mess, it would turn into a problem. I scooched to the side to put some distance between myself and Heesu.

“We’re like that, too. I came in place of my sunbaes.”

Heesu smiled as if it was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was as if she were asking me why I was being so cautious when she hadn’t said anything wrong. I didn’t realize this until now, but Heesu was the type of person who only lived for today. While I laughed awkwardly, the front door of the classroom opened, and someone came in.

My eyes were drawn to the tall man. He had a small head, broad shoulders, long legs, and was wearing a black tracksuit. He walked to the back of the classroom and nodded to those he recognized.

“Hey, stop staring. You’re completely dumbfounded. Jeez.”

“Who is he?”

Several people’s gazes drifted towards them when they heard Heesu’s scolding voice, but I didn’t notice and continued to stare blankly as I asked.

“He’s Gong Mujin. From the Physical Education Department. He just returned from his military training and is now back in school.

That was probably why the hair underneath his cap was short.

“He’s handsome, right? I think he’s also very popular. But it’s a well-known fact within this school that he has never had a girlfriend. All the female sunbaes who confessed to him got rejected. I heard he’s also double-majoring in business administration. Are you also interested in double-majoring?”

Heesu had the ability to ask several questions at once, and her voice was really loud.

The chairman of the club association saw Heesu acting like this and shook his head. However, a strange look was exchanged between the chairman and Heesu.

“Yeah, we all know that Gong Mujin is handsome. As for whether he never had a girlfriend, I’m not sure about that. It’s true that he rejected all the girls who confessed to him. He’s a nasty bastard. Anyways, does our second-year student who came instead of the travel club president have an interest in double-majoring? Are you going to follow Gong Mujin and major in business?”

The eyes of eighty or so club representatives in the lecture room all focused on me. Including Gong Mujin, who was staring indifferently from behind me. Heesu, who had created this situation, began to giggle with glee.

Was I the only one who was embarrassed right now?

“No.”

“Gong Mujin, did you hear that? She said you aren’t it.”

No, I said I didn’t want to double major in business administration. When did I say no in regards to Gong Mujin?

Soon, the club association meeting began, and I wasn’t given a chance to clarify. The meeting must have been some kind of icebreaker gathering. However, the incident from earlier kept replaying in my head. In all my years, having graduated from middle school and high school and having made it to college, I’ve never seen a man who looked like Gong Mujin.

The handsome Gong Mujin appears, Heesu makes a fuss with a loud voice, the chairman of the club association asks me questions, and my eyes meet with Gong Mujin’s.

As the incident repeated and repeated, my heart started racing. The scene grew even more vivid as if a filter was placed over it.

The meeting ended quickly because it was only a formal regular meeting and not some kind of special event. The incident from earlier was already long forgotten by everyone else.

But I couldn’t leave the classroom. I was fully aware that Gong Mujin was talking to someone behind me. Heesu had already followed the chairman of the club association out, and I began to rummage through my backpack as if organizing the items inside was the most important thing in the world.

The person who had been talking to Gong Mujin left first. I heard Gong Mujin get up from his seat. He slowly began to walk down the stairs of the lecture room.

Finally, he reached me.

I wonder if he’ll ever speak to me.

However, he adjusted his cap and passed by me without any hesitation. The breeze from his movement carried a refreshing tangerine scent. I followed him as if I were being swept away by this aromatic breeze.

His stride was wide like his long legs. His walking speed was also fast. I was almost running as I followed him.

Why am I doing this?

As soon as I realized what I was doing, he stopped dead in his tracks and looked back. I stood there, dumbfounded, and pretended to zip up my backpack, which was still open.

Why did he look back? Did he notice that I was following him?

I slowly zipped up my jacket and glanced at him with wide eyes.

Or eyes met. I froze, unable to move, like a zipper that was caught. His face was slightly hidden by the shadow from his baseball cap, but I could clearly see that his eyes were focused on me.

I bowed my head awkwardly like a creaking cogwheel that hadn’t been oiled.

“What’s your major?”

Since the chairman had said I was a second-year earlier, he must have known that I was his hoobae. But my heart began to pound when I heard his formal tone as he asked the question.

“Sociology.”

He quietly nodded his head.

“Don’t worry about what Kim Daehwan said earlier. If you’re thinking about double majoring in business administration, don’t give up just because of what happened earlier.”

“Pardon?”

“I mean… You seem to have a bit of a timid personality. You seemed nervous throughout the meeting.”

Then did this mean he was watching me throughout the whole meeting?

My heart raced uncontrollably. It had raced ahead with all its might and had already fallen at his feet, waiting for him to dispose of it.

“I’m not that timid!”

I managed to squeeze my voice out of my throat. The end of my voice cracked awkwardly. He laughed faintly as if he couldn’t hold it in. The dimple on his left cheek softened his expression.

His long, mono-lidded eyes and his tall nose gave off a fierce vibe. His prim, red lips looked stubborn, and his clear complexion, despite having just been discharged from his military service, drew my attention.

Just looking at his tall frame, which was a head taller than average, and his sturdy body, which suited someone in the physical education major, made me feel overwhelmed. It was a strange feeling, as if all strength was being drained from my body.

“I’m not following you. The exit is this way.”

D*mn it. The exit was in the opposite direction. He tilted his head and laughed in disbelief.

He nodded to the men’s bathroom. I must have been so absent-minded that I didn’t even realize I had followed him all the way to the men’s bathroom.

“I guess I got a bit distracted because my backpack zipper broke.”

I laughed awkwardly and blamed the poor zipper. But he promptly began to walk briskly towards me. He reached me in one breath and immediately grabbed my backpack. The scent of tangerines grew stronger.

He pulled on the backpack, and the strap that had been slung over one of my shoulders began to slide down. He grabbed the zipper with his long fingers and very kindly closed the backpack.

“Thank you. It wasn’t moving earlier… Really! It wasn’t moving…”

As I made the excuse, my voice gradually grew quieter. He took his hands off my bag and put them inside the pockets of his sweatpants. He tilted his head. A faint dimple appeared on his left cheek, and a faint smile stretched across his lips.

“You’re not timid, but…”

My piercing gaze moved from his dimple to his dark, mysterious eyes.

“You’re pretty good at lying. You were following me.”

I suddenly recalled Heesu’s words about how he had rejected all the confessions that were given to him. It felt as if she were telling me to confess quickly and get it over with if I was interested in a man who never accepted anyone’s confession.

“Aren’t you overly self-conscious? Do you have any proof that I followed you? I need to take care of some urgent matters, so I’ll be leaving. Goodbye.”

I bowed my head and turned around. I could feel his gaze on the back of my neck. I hurriedly headed for the exit, but I felt someone following me from behind.

No way.

I stood upright and looked back. He smiled and brushed past me. The breeze he stirred as he passed smelled of tangerines again.

“See? It’s obvious who’s following who.”

He spoke mischievously and quickly went ahead without giving me a chance to respond. Feeling annoyed, I followed him closely. I could hear the sound of him laughing as if he found this ridiculous, and it tickled my heart.

“So why do you keep following me?”

He turned around and asked as if he were used to this kind of situation. The mans’ face, which looked very arrogant, was annoyingly handsome. At the same time, the fact that he continued to use formal speech and treated his hoobaes politely was annoyingly appealing.

“I’m not following you right now. And earlier, I liked the smell of your cologne, so I was thinking about whether or not I should ask you what it was.”

“Ah.”

He was flustered. His face, which had been smiling leisurely until now, suddenly froze. He must not have expected it. He hesitated like a broken robot. I sighed and tried to control my racing heart.

“The name of it is a bit long… I’m having trouble remembering it.”

For a moment, I almost burst into laughter. His handsome face and his dumbfounded expression merged together… He was so cute that I could hardly believe it. I didn’t think he would suddenly act so dumb, so I felt a corner of my tense heart loosen up in response.

“That’s okay. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with not knowing. Goodbye.”

I nodded and passed by him. Then I briskly walked down the hill.

With every step, my regrets dripped down. The distance between us gradually increased, but my heart was still hesitating at his feet. It didn’t seem like he would step on my heart and walk away. He would just pass by it apathetically.

It looked like it was going to rain. The wind rustled, and the fallen leaves danced. Even the sound of the eerie breeze made me flinch and my shoulders tremble. I took a deep breath to soothe my heart, which had grown turbulent for the first time in my life. The smell of wet earth wafted in the cold breeze. The brief conversation we had would be swept away by the autumn rain.

Since I hadn’t been assigned a locker yet for this semester, I had lost the energy to take out my planner and check as I carried my various thick textbooks in my arms. The person in charge must have forgotten to post the schedule for the room next to the door.

“Are you taking a class here?”

As soon as I heard the familiar voice, the scent of tangerines filled my nose. As expected, when I turned my head, Gong Mujin was standing there.

It was the first time we’d met since the club association meeting last fall. He smiled as if he recognized me.

“Hello…”

My voice sounded drained as I greeted him. His gaze quickly scanned my face before shifting to the textbooks I was holding against my chest.

He reached out without saying a word. The pile of books in my arms moved into his hands. I couldn’t resist the force with which he was pulling at the books. My body was so tired that I was glad he was taking them off my hands. He looked down at me quietly.

“Are you taking a class in this classroom? Understanding Contemporary Theater, right?”

“No. This class is something else.”

This was the worst. I was exhausted. My breaths were ragged, and the thought of having to carry my textbooks as I wandered around the building made my vision blur. I quickly looked inside my backpack. I was about to start fuming in frustration at the fact that I couldn’t easily find my planner.

“Understanding Contemporary Theater. This is a popular class.”

His voice sounded a bit brighter than before. He gestured to the door with his chin. It seemed like he was also attending this lecture, and he was just teasing the poor hoobae who was wandering around in front of the classroom door.

“Ah…”

I couldn’t even say anything to his prank. My arms just hung limply at my side. The thought of thanking him for holding my books didn’t even cross my mind.

“You look like you’re going to collapse. I’ll carry them to your seat in the classroom.”

He was stronger than me as he snatched my bag away. I followed him, walking slowly. I was so exhausted that I had no energy to argue with him. Several eyes followed Gong Mujin as he held my bag and my textbooks.

As it turned out, Gong Mujin was quite famous on campus. He majored in physical education and was said to be a road cyclist who competed in road bicycle races. Although his grades weren’t that great, there was a rumor that a sports channel had once aired one of his races because he was so popular for his good looks. Of course, there was no way to confirm whether this was true or not.

The gazes that looked at him were mixed with awe and slight envy. Their eyes also moved to me as I followed behind him. Feeling the unfamiliar attention directed at me, I followed Gong Mujin and sat down in the very back of the classroom.

There was an awkward pause. I suddenly realized that I had missed the opportunity to thank him for his help. I was nervous about sitting next to him, and it felt awkward to just stay silent. I glanced over at him and began to talk.

Today was the fifth class. We always sat side by side in the back row, but it wasn’t something we promised to do beforehand. I thought he might avoid me in the second class. But as soon as he entered the classroom, he looked around as if he was looking for a familiar face and then found me. I had arrived before him and was sitting in the back row. He smiled faintly at me and walked over.

There were times when I arrived before him and took my seat, and there were times when he came first and sat down. Last week, he bought two warm cafe lattes, and today, I bought two warm cafe lattes.
