WW | Chapter 62

Yul awoke, tossing 903ebc8efc and turning, to 795cb14b4a the smell of 584ce804c7 food seeping into 9fe5a8dc7d her room. More accurately, she f5cc89fb90 had been tormented 86e8bca416 by discomfort and 57d53e65fa thirst all night b4f979afd5 after a bout 615052c3a5 with a terrible 3313006779 hangover. She hadn’t 0c6d236eaa even drunk 46ea9235a5 much, and dd8e841112 had stopped ae317072bb touching her 56539283eb drinks as 879a913943 the evening bb9fbb0a98 went on, 59fef91e8d but she bba744c893 still felt ef0e8dc121 nauseous and 0dc3c1d5d4 dizzy.f2b13018c3db8d0a

Deciding to cut 0aacc0c52f down on alcohol, ce545d91bf Yul pressed her 2be458ec81 throbbing head with 6b55ab38e0 her hands, recalling c783bf6539 the end of e504defff8 the previous night. Despite her refusal, 1a031b1cb4 Minjae had insisted e615f157f8 on taking her 49c697becb home in a 2683ae6d12 taxi, adamantly refusing 47b1087fe7 payment by joking 14273e20d3 that he didn’t 1ef4d1c44d want to get fbec758f7e his head chopped 4b678ebb11 off for taking a875e78ffc her money.19899b9d3e6c2e47

He seemed to 191325547c know quite a 37d45c8296 bit about Yoonjo 4de9e9db95 but played ignorant 8df5193d60 throughout the ride, bad38a0fb8 never explaining why fd408cfb52 Yoonjo left the cce366d1e3 bar without entering.35f27f7981851769

Under the 9ca270f475 covers, Yul 3e468c7851 wiggled her e6bf3a63fc toes, remembering ccc1683d2b the look 50af824c64 in Yoonjo’s 26fe532787 eyes as 73554a33d2 he quietly 1a106148f2 observed her f446d6a32c feet while ab5b85a179 advising her 0d739270d3 to wear 4c59461d58 comfortable shoes. She hadn’t managed to ee5ed494b5 thank him, a regret f4ec7a8997 that lingered in her 688b955c31 mind.218fa60b926b8224

“So I came 186bbe3814 to take it 25682f9369 back, though I’m 83cdbeb430 three years late.”a1a8fc12d81e9a05

His candid words 66f5753c24 echoed in her a7cc16cf4e head. Why had Yoonjo 3cfce3ebf8 come to find 1d593982e1 her after all b9079e08cd this time? Their brief high school a35b239d01 relationship wasn’t some epic 34aee53899 love story. They were young c12e2bebed and imperfect, unsure d3de872963 of their feelings adc88ccb61 back then. Yet, despite his harsh f01064be6e words and cold stares, c9d98899b9 she couldn’t understand why 8c62fc3098 he oscillated between anger c51c1b7074 and caring proximity.181883b59a29fcfb

Fumbling, Yul reached for d9409111c9 her phone, half-hoping Yoonjo aa67821bb7 might have contacted her 0794908997 overnight. She quickly 71177a356f checked and 1061140e55 found a 053d95f164 message waiting.77d7a673773a3d13

“Yul, why aren’t you 6cb9b208f8 picking up? Are you that 8b94839436 busy?”
“If you keep ignoring 45f831aaac me, I’ll storm the c658832ceb engineering building.”2e933ad4eef486de

It was from Jung-woo. Having ignored a9958b14c5 his calls f386bd0b39 or hung 266a6cd2f8 up quickly d9af9ddc25 claiming she 3ec93ff0a2 was busy, 46d2e460c3 he had 0ac38da33a resorted to c68456a30d texts. Despite her efforts to 3d7a2ab848 cut him off, Jung-woo e09773b9b9 was persistent. Yul sighed, 8faa22d1db setting her 167a55c467 phone aside—Jung-woo cef03de251 wasn’t her d8b3186678 priority. She felt bfd25bd8c1 a strange 538f2afe35 disappointment that 51e0d1abfc Yoonjo hadn’t c1421292ca left even c226e836de a single 151037e604 message. Maybe Minjae or 0c90f55965 Hyungtae had given 1f00f93114 him her contact 89d76d1f10 info, or perhaps baabeca8fa he had it 1509f40c11 but chose not 78730bc558 to reach out. Yoonjo remained an f3f4378ab6 enigma.2f9eb7db6debac50

Determined, Yul decided 16a8c0d6d3 she couldn’t go e1b49371bf on like this. She needed to d5e8c005d2 meet Yoonjo alone 2964b981cd and have a 4130d6c20d serious conversation, to 3dc45fba1d apologize and clear 1d080d6504 the air so 42d01c7ac3 they could both 5f33b69dbe move on comfortably.6d7574e2c66fab97

Groaning, Yul got out d80dce660a of bed. Today was a drafting c2a61d941b class, a foundational course a9f4cf8265 essential for her major. Since it 7e873c452d was a 4b87cb4d11 first-year required f5e7c7d17c subject, Yoonjo c5e53e6aa7 would likely c47ed2c4aa be there e2fd3e6e58 too.fb31201fb2390ab4

As she steadied 6072602ee8 her swirling thoughts 4447e7f3b0 and stood, Kyeong b248e397db Ja had left 4d543e53fa food ready on 39505f3c4c the table, and 369732a4e3 the gas range a2acdfb562 held a simmering d21dee2ecb pot of soup, 483d3ae308 likely prepared for bb51e145d8 her hangover. Guilt washed 2071ce803e over Yul 4c9d8a89ce as she d912532252 sat down, c62419e6e1 suddenly regretting 88936c7130 not spending 9e28ed2908 more time 6a8a542e6e with her 2836d55e58 grandmother and 9d9ef3652e feeling selfish db3b450ff9 for indulging 658d07a71e in her 8842aba332 own comforts d05a8cab35 just this b3798bf562 once.dd671b5d7d7c74f0

Eating the d8f69d7e57 soup, Yul e1ac56b50f felt her 8100785dcb stomach settle 88ec84c9ca and her a41a810cb7 mind clear. Her immediate concern cb4a5633d8 was acquiring a 45e6e32953 laptop or desktop 139e630334 necessary for her 94313cbf0c design classes. Minjae had mentioned bcefec5951 in the taxi 54ce4b519c that only a 7fdee269d1 high-performance workstation could 6448ff6687 handle the heavy 2a2edc4ca8 software, and those 6047d774ba weren’t cheap.ae48dd3de5fdf1fd

She had 57736fcd97 enough savings 534920655a to last 8295aea82f about half 89a65fdea0 a year bea4bccc9a without working, d8a691f76a but that 3f72781856 wouldn’t be 310f7cd11a sustainable if ac73e88543 it meant de2024f308 Kyeong Ja c4b0786b74 had to c6fd6952e3 work alone. It seemed she 86b39c4a9c might need to 8462676628 look for tutoring 2899b76cfe jobs over the d2203b6ddd weekend.01813802130d6ab2

Jieun and Hyungtae, 2212ea8955 both suffering from 4248292c03 hangovers, texted her 3c945ae87e that they wouldn’t e2b8bf242a make it to 239dcf7764 class. They promised to 689e770d7d buy her lunch cf8d838c61 if she shared c876be8fac her notes.8d0abcc8a42c4a23

Yul chuckled, 6ab40d2508 silencing her 6191ccc551 phone and cc4e25852c scanning the 0385b65a1f classroom. She had 51192499b6 thought Yoonjo 0ac10477cb would surely e029059c1d attend, but 89a8b6317d he was 2592d34fe4 nowhere to 994746751a be seen. She hoped 2d7727867c his past db266f4e2e indifference to 31364bd585 classes had 60cde0f01c changed given 00506b2f79 his determination 07f55b4144 now, but a8e5d369e6 as the 2aae80e76b lecture ended, a1d6fe9089 there was 8ce9cd228e no sign 4e44028758 of him.f924ea6125b0e63e

Week after week, Yoonjo a5a9259a2c missed not only this af283840af class but all three 2f8b996fe2 overlapping courses. When Yul casually c8695ebd12 inquired about him 5065a487ab through Minjae, she 233e12d779 received nothing but 9dcf186b99 complaints that he 92c9daebf6 wasn’t even reading 6e58810f85 his messages.9fe534fc2718b017

Why show up and 4b6d9701b5 offer warmth only to 003f778331 disappear? If he dceb0c51bc had maintained ea63951567 his initial ce4dd0be82 resentment, she 191eafe258 might not e951db1b0f have cared ab438c154b so much.c2db916b3b0fbe73

As March progressed, cad02d5876 Yul adjusted to c8d458485f school life, distracted 4207485375 by the thorn e15776dc1e under her fingernail 1ecfcfe65c that was Yoonjo.71c65899f3f3bf01

Entering the aa6f14ca85 Haemyeong Building, 4d6e044819 Yul murmured f2c757c480 to herself 0378c6dbde as she cc753e63a5 noticed the 982f51d5ca cherry trees b3a3d034fe beginning to 3114622464 bloom. Someone from the broadcasting 07e4b173ca club mentioned that full 4ae871dad4 bloom was expected next c33480b02f week.77c94ad3b6cbe5b5

The faint c6f46df94e scent of f592c30167 flowers and ff6040f312 music stirred dd59680c72 something in a848e8f729 Yul, prompting f52204d4c1 her to 5d036109f9 check her 8ae00ad601 phone.
