Chapter 58 (extra 2)

Soobin didn't see Somi and sat down with the beautiful woman on a table by the window. Somi walked over with the menu and smiled. "Welcome, what can I do for you?"

The woman didn't take much notice and simply accepted the menu to peruse through it. Soobin, however, was stunned when he raised his head and saw her.

Somi, dressed in a uniform, was standing by his table, looking at him with a smile.

Soobin suddenly felt a hiccup climbing up his throat.

He valiantly held the hiccup back, stood up, and asked: "Somi? Why are you here?"

SOmi, with a smile still pasted on her face, continued to act professionally. She simply replied: "I'm working here for the summer."

The woman who was sitting opposite to Soobin finally looked up and asked him: "Do you know each other?"

"Ah, yes, my classmate."

"Oh..." The girl glanced at Somi, then went back to her menu. "I'd like an Americano, thank you."

"Of course." Somi then turned to Soobin. "What about this gentleman?"

He replied: "I'll have the same."

"Alright, two Americano coffees. Just a moment, please."

She took back the menus, then turned away. As she left, the pretty woman placed her elbow on the table and put her chin on her hand. She asked Soobin: "She's already gone. Aren't you going to sit down?"

"Ah...sorry." Soobin sat back down.

The woman's name was Lia. She was the daughter of Soobin's mother's good friend and was a medical student at the capital's top university. She was in her sophomore year, and her grades have always been excellent. Since Soobin also wanted to apply for the medical department of the same university, his mother asked him to take advantage of the summer vacation and learn a few things from this sister. Although the results for the college entrance exams hadn't been released yet, his mother was quite confident and already considered him a student of that university.

"By the way, have you finished reading those books I recommended to you last time?" Lia asked him.

Soobin nodded and said: "I originally wanted to return them to you today, but I thought it would be too heavy for you to bring back. I'll just get it delivered to your home some other day."

He read all of the books Lia recommended and religiously took notes. After reading the books, Soobin felt that he genuinely benefited from it.

Lia was only asking casually, but unexpectedly, Soobin actually finished them all. A little surprised, she asked: "You finished all of them? There was a lot."

"Yes, I've read them all."

"Did you read it properly? When school starts, I'll test you, ah."

"Alright, senior can verify it."

After chatting for a while, Somi came back to deliver the coffee and their bill. Soobin took his wallet out of his pants pocket, seemingly ready to pay. But before he could, Lia told him: "No need, I'll treat you."

Soobin's hand paused. "How can I be so shameless? I should be paying for you."

But Lia had already paid the bill using her cellphone via QR code. She smiled at him and said: "Please, you were my junior in elementary school. It's just a cup of coffee, ah. You don't need to be so polite to me."

Somi smiled and said: "Please take your time and enjoy."

When Yuna saw Somi come back with a dark expression on her fact, she worriedly asked: "What's the matter? Is that boy bringing back different girls on different days too?"
