12.2 - Miss You a Little

When the new semester began, many people also started to systematically plan out their futures.

One afternoon, Chaeyoung furtively tugged Lisa over in front of her computer and said, "Can you take a look at this email and tell me what you think about the tone? I'm writing it to the old guy from the United Nations, the one from the conference last time. I'm hoping he will write a letter of recommendation for me."

Pulling over a chair, Lisa took a seat and began to seriously read through her letter.

After reading for a while, Lisa told her with furrowed brows, "I think, from a content perspective, it should be pretty good. As for your grammar and sentence structure ... you be the judge of that. My English is not nearly as good as yours."

Chaeyoung told her some of her plans, and from the sounds of them, she had put much thought into them, to the point that she had even started calculating out what grade point average she must achieve this term before her applications to certain universities would be accepted.

For law students like them, it was actually very difficult to obtain scholarships at any university that was particularly good because, after all, there was a difference between how universities abroad and Korean universities viewed law school.

Similar to medical school, law schools in the United States require that students first earn an undergraduate degree before they are eligible to apply to study law. However, in Korea, it is simply, if you don't know what to study, then go take law.

"One of my friends who won an award together with me when we were in primary school has already graduated from a music conservatory in Germany." Chaeyoung sighed wistfully, "My dream in the very beginning had actually been to be a pianist, but because of early dating, I wasted my time. Now the other person is already a professional violinist and I'm just still an ordinary undergrad student ... So, Lisa, I absolutely must become a lawyer."

Seeing that this was a rare instance where she was being so serious, Lisa obliged her by dreaming with her about the future.

When her eyes happened to sweep over the clock on the computer, she abruptly leapt to her feet. "Oh shoot, I'm finished! I have physics this afternoon."

Grabbing her books and bicycle key, she unlocked her bicycle and dashed away.

Because it was Monday afternoon, there were people everywhere on the campus.

With only another five minutes before class started, everyone was in a hurry, and bicycles were being ridden as if they were in a high-speed race ... She sped along on the small pathway between the several dozen dormitory buildings, and right as she turned a corner, she managed to successfully collide head-on into three or four girls who had been riding side-by-side in a row and heading directly toward her.

A peal of shrieks rose up as girls and bicycles all crashed to the ground.

Her teeth clenched in a painful grimace, Lisa pulled herself up from the ground. Her physics book had been flung somewhere far away.

This was truly a year of ill luck.

All the while saying sorry, she and the other girls picked up the fallen bicycles. Fortunately, they were all students, so aside from apologizing to one another, no dispute arose between them.

It was only after those people had left that she discovered there was a tear in her down jacket because of the fall. Soft, white feathers could faintly be seen poking out from the royal blue ... Although the rip was not large, it still pained her terribly.

This was Jungkook's Christmas gift to her.

"Lisa," someone spoke up, handing her book to her, "you okay?"
