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.6cb6f6512c5d03ab

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.dade6d917b7e339f

Knowing Choi Jeha’s usual personality, his grandmother thought he wouldn’t accept the money if she gave it to him directly. So the next day, she visited the bank with the notice. Unfamiliar with using the ATM, she filled out a deposit slip by hand. Just before submitting it at the counter, she met some students from Choi Jeha’s class.
