Chapter 22
Living Up to Summer Vacation

Maybe the pursuit of studies in a university was limited to only the last few weeks of school. Only in the last few weeks of school would you be able to see all the university students with a rigorous and scholarly attitude as they delved into their vigor and spirit.

On the day we finished testing, I laid as stiff as a corpse until I finished bathing at the public baths. Then, I returned to my dorm, unable to endure my physical strength, as I slept for a day and a night.

As I slept soundly, I received a phone call from Senior Brother Shin, the president of our Hometown Association, who made us quickly sign up to participate in this year's travel activities during summer vacation. To me, Senior Brother Shin's existence was like that of a god. He showed us how to have poor family circumstances, how to work energetically for the prosperity of the country, how to keep persevering… In brief, before he went to Korea University, he had experienced all the most tragic things. For a short time, he had to stop going to school, but in the end, he still tenaciously crammed and self-studied, getting into Korea University in the end. At that time, he was the idol and model of our whole little town, and the president of our school gave even more sincere advice and magnified his portrait and engraved it onto the "pillar of humiliation" that was located on a summit that everyone had to raise their heads at a 45 degree to admire.

"Pillar of humiliation"…umm Lili is using this reference because it's very high. I don't think she thought about the "humiliation" part

Right now, this rich Senior Brother Shin had actually personally called me, one of the nameless younger generation, who was completely inferior to him. No matter what kinds of activities I had to participate in, I would agree. After I finished the call, I even lamented that I unexpectedly had such a life to go and participate in activities along with other people from the same village. Indeed……wait a second, Hometown Association? Wouldn't Jeon Jungkook be at my left while Jung Jaehyun was at my right? My energy suddenly dropped~ could I withdraw from this association again?

Let alone, I had equal feelings towards activities and theorizing. In other words, I believed that reading a book was boring, so exercising was also hogwash. "If you felt the paper was extremely shallow, then this was definitely something you had to personally undertake" [1].

[1] It means that if you feel there's no potential for the piece of paper, then you should definitely personally write out everything because you can't leave anything half-way especially if the piece of paper is one part of a whole novel.

As far as I was concerned, this phrase didn't apply. Because I didn't pursue deep things. I pursued doing things half-heatedly which included feelings……in brief, I was a skin-deep person.

The summer vacation hiking people list had already been dispatched to the post office box. I saw Jungkook, Jaehyun oppa, and even Tzuyu's name who had participated- not really being a fellow villager. In the male, Senior Brother Shin sent out, the letter was as follows:

Fellow junior sisters and brothers:

For lodging birds and to remembering trees, and the stories of the fish in the ponds and these other profound happenings in the midst of nature and our country. This time, in our travels, we will be visiting our village to explore the growth in each of the economic industries of our village, and we will also give some related advice for these departments, and settle some practical matters. As someone who cherishes the whole of Korea, from Korea University, the first place we have to thank, and the first place we want to give back to is our hometown. I hope everyone is energetically preparing to actively participate. This time, for our travels, I have invited my junior schoolmate, the editor of the school magazine, the famous Kim Mingyu from the news department to also participate and to also grasp knives and support us, and to extend the tourism industry growth of our hometown. Hehe…….
