"Brother. Did you think you were interested in him just because you ate a few times?"
It's a familiar word that I've heard countless times.
I realized that I was dreaming.
A cold gaze that lowers the whole body.
Regardless of my will, the me in the dream bowed my head.
Kim Hyeon-seo's eyes were filled with disgust for the fact that an ordinary man like me saw the possibility of success in his confession.
The bouquet in my hand, the confession gift I bought by saving enough money to eat enough for two days at the time, fell helplessly.
"It's true that I brought a bouquet of flowers as a confession. It's not even two or eight years now. This is disrespect for the other person, disrespect."
I didn't know. At the time, I hadn't put anything in my head other than studying for the entrance exam for several years.
Also. I thought you would accept it.
For the past few months, the atmosphere between Kim Hyeon-seo and me has been the best.
'It was a foolish delusion that I was only studying.'
When I see the scene in my dream, I automatically smile bitterly.
Hyun-seo was the idol of the fortune academy I attended.
The prettiest face in the academy. Contrary to her face, her words and actions are kind.
With all of that, she was enough to set fire to the hearts of boys who were tied up in cram schools and reading rooms for one more year instead of her dream college life.
Of course, I'm not confident enough to confess my subject without grounds.
I knew very well at the time that a pretty girl like Kim Hyeon-seo wouldn't hang out with an insignificant third-year student like me.
Originally, Kim Hyeon-seo and I were like no other.
Sometimes when we make eye contact, we say hello and we don't see each other outside of class.
However, Hyunseo Kim approached me first.
"Brother! Do you know how to solve this problem?"
Our relationship, which began with Kim Hyun-seo's approach, progressed rapidly.
Beyond talking during class, we became friends after class.
The third time we ate, we stopped talking, and the seventh time we ate, we went to the movies alone.
So I thought. Hyunseo is also interested in me.
He must have discovered my charms that I didn't even know existed.
To me, who evolved from high school classmate C to third student B at a fortune academy.
Kim Hyeon-seo was the first leading role in her life to approach me.
Her first wariness was helplessly broken by the sweetness of her time with her.
Even though the life of three waters, which was like asceticism, became more difficult as he listened to her demands, each day was enjoyable.
It's a dream I've had countless times. The next development will be my confession.
As expected, I see myself in my dream preparing for a confession.
'Well? What? It's the first time I've seen this.'
A black air current swirled above my head.
'I see… At that time, I couldn't understand the subject and even fainted in confession because of the curse.'
The curse of my previous life was binding me and manipulating me to taste greater despair.
"It's a shame because I did it when there were no people around. I almost got scolded for the confession I heard only in words."
The feelings I had at the time sounded like a narration.
-Yes. Also. There is no reverse.
I quietly closed my eyes in my dream.
-Yes. After all, there is no such thing as a twist in my life.
Even knowing that, it was the role of the curse that stimulated my heart and made me confess.
The door opens and a man enters.
Kim Kang-chan. He was a male student who had good looks and good grades, so he was popular among the girls in the academy and often talked with Hyeon-seo.
In terms of roles, it's the minimum supporting role.
Kim Kang-chan shoved my shoulder.
"I can't stand it because I hear it. Do you think Hyun-seo is good at the subject of the hyung?"
Kim Hyeon-seo held Kim Kang-chan's hand.
"Oh, why are you interfering again?"
"Let go. You're my boyfriend, can't you do this much?"
At Kang-chan Kim's words, the me in the dream closed my eyes tightly.
-Kim Kang-chan was Hyeon-seo's boyfriend.
-And why did you ask me…
At that time, I was so pure… No. I was terribly ignorant.
The sound of the two voices fades away.
"I told you not to eat with men. "
"What if I have no money? But are you annoyed with me now?"
"Oh, no, it's not like that, it's Seo Seo.."
The dream continued.
'If everything ended like this and it ended with a simple happening, then I would have somehow made up my mind.'
The reality was not so rosy.
A few days later, Kim Kang-chan, who was resentful of her confession to his girlfriend, spread rumors.
It wasn't long before rumors spread throughout the academy.
The ignorant guy who bought a bouquet of flowers and confessed that he ate a few times.
That was the me in the rumor.
-That man is him.
-Ah, scolding you with that confession?
-Yes. There are people like that in the fortress too. I thought it was only in novels.
A reward given to an extra who dreamed of dating a leading role.
I see the black current amplifying my frustration and stimulating the urges in my heart.
In the end, I quit the academy as if I were running away.
'I was thinking at the time too. If I just passed this time casually… I could have changed my life, but I gave up exceptionally easily.'
I tried desperately and got a grade close to 1st grade when I took the second exam.
I would have been able to escape the role given to me if I had kept the same pace and successfully completed the third round.
Despite the thought, I couldn't stand it.
It was strangely easy to break down when I thought that I had been aware of the reality and knew my subject well since childhood, which I do not remember very well.
'It must have been all because of the curse.'
My dream ended when I ran away to the army after ruining the three waters.
[Titling. The user's desire reacts strongly to the fact that the possibility of change initially conceived was frustrated.]
Woke up from a dream
'I haven't had a dream like this since I got the wish fulfillment app, so why am I having it again?'
After thinking about it for a while, I could see why.
'It's because the CSAT is right around the corner.'
[Quest_The first trophy to shine]
*Receive the CSAT, enter the university application form, and take the CSAT.
*Reward: Feature updates to fulfill your desires.
I applied as soon as the application period and the CSAT application period opened. I had forgotten about it, but the college entrance exam was right in front of me.
'I saw in Kim Hyeon-seo's profile that she was studying at Seoeol University. That's why she had a dream.'
At the time, I passed it on casually, but the shock she received in the middle of the day must have been great.
'If I am given the ability to go to Seoeoldae as per the quest… If I go to Seoeoldae… I will meet Kim Hyeon-seo.'
Seoldae. The first dream I ever had.
The place I aim for the first woman I want to have.
And, where the woman who first frustrated me is.
He slapped his cheek and pursued the drowsiness left in the fog.
Thought at the same time.
Sat. A test that is hell for some and a rope for others.
The CSAT, which I thought was my only chance, became a hell that made me despair after three failures.
After failing in the entrance exam, he changed his route to the civil service exam, thinking that college is a place that makes people a cog in society.
'Now that I think about it, it was a grape that can't be eaten, so it was degraded as sour grape.'
Grapes that could not be reached no matter how hard I tried.
For the sake of my self-esteem and mental health, I unconsciously undermined the value of college.
"Sat. It's an exam…"
When I checked the date, it was a week later.
SAT D-7.
The time when all test takers across the country stop injecting new knowledge into their brains and start adjusting their condition.
It was a day of great significance to me in the past.
When I turn on the Internet, I see a news article dealing with rules related to the CSAT.
[Inspection the day before the exam]
The day before the test, you should get enough sleep to be in optimal condition for the day. Staying up all night studying is fatal…
"I acted as if something big would happen if I didn't keep this."
But it doesn't matter now.
Instead, she sent Eunseo a link to the article and asked her to take good care of her condition.
It was the day before the exam.
SAT D-1.
'During the entrance exam, I thought I was going to get mentally ill because of the tension.'
Fierce competition among test takers takes place every year in Korea, where those who do not go to college are not treated as proper people.
In order to win the competition, you have to let go of the tension and show off your skills.
'Even knowing that, I was trembling so much.'
In the past, even though I knew that, I could not fall asleep, so I used to stay up all night with open eyes.
I checked Eunseo's status message.
I planted self-confidence with the consolation the other day, but the day before, I am very anxious.
She listened to her and comforted her until she regained her composure. In the process, the likability went up by 1.
Finally, D-DAY for the college entrance exam.
Sat!
Official name Mathematics Ability Test.
A festival that announces the end of all educational processes from elementary school to high school and a death sentence!
Every year in November, the news page is noisy with interviews with perfect scores and suicides due to failure in the CSAT.
As I left the house, I reflected on my desire once again.
Today, I will claim the title of Seoeol University student that everyone looks up to.
