Into the Twenty

Part 9

After Cheong Ah goes back,
Guanlin & Norin are studying together.
Guanlin: I bring all my notes that you missed during these days. Take a look and ask me when I come next time. Ah, you can call me and ask too, whenever.
Norin: Thank You.
Guanlin: Don't need to say thank you between us. The lecturer points out these important facts. (Pointing at the highlighted lines from his textbook) Ah, don't forget to study 7 elements of interior design by heart. That question will definitely come in the test. You can just keep my textbook if you want~
Norin looks at Guanlin being too absorbed at explaining lessons to her.
Norin: Why are you so nice to me?
Guanlin looks up at her face and says directly~
Guanlin: why else? Of course,it's because I like you.

1 week before the final exam,
No Rin is still in hospital. Cheong Ah is sleeping in her dorm. Yumi is studying in the library. Then, Win comes and sits beside Yumi.
Win: What are you studying? (With a low volume)
Yumi: Can't you see?
Win looks at what Yumi is doing.
Win: Oh! Calculus.
Yumi: Now you know, so leave me alone. I'm going insane by myself so Don't make me worse.
Win: Do you want me to help you?
Yumi: No, leave me alone. (Focusing on her problem)
By that time, Yumi senses someone pass by her so she looks at him. It's Chan Hee and he sits at the table across her. She smiles and Win notices it. Yumi goes to Chan Hee and sits beside him. Win's left behind.
Yumi: Sunbae, can you explain this to me? I'm stuck at this stage. I don't know how to solve it any more. (Showing her notebook)
(Win just looks at Yumi with cheerless look and smiles miserably. Then he leaves the library. )
Chan Hee: No, I have to study for my exam too.
Yumi: Pleaseeeeeeee, sunbaeee...
Chan Hee ignores Yumi's words and gets up from his seat and goes out of the library. Yumi follows him. Chan Hee keeps avoiding and ignoring Yumi but Yumi keeps following...

Time skipped ~ (Last day of Final Exam)
In front of the university gate,
No Rin and Cheong Ah are standing and chatting.
Cheong Ah: How's your exam?
No Rin: I did great.
Cheong Ah: Me too. Yayy! Finally, the exam is over. ( gleefully)
Then, Yumi comes running to them and she hugs both.
Yumi: The problem that Sunbae taught me came up in my exam.. and I did well..
No Rin: Yumi, We know how much you're happy but let us go. You're choking us.
Yumi: Oh! Sorry, (Yumi halts her hug)
Cheong Ah: Ah, by the way, we are going to the concert tomorrow!!!! It will start at 5:00
Yumi, Norin: yess!!
Norin: Then, let's go sleep at Yumi's apartment today, Cheong Ah
Cheong Ah: Oops, I was about to say, telepathy hoo!!
Yumi: Who said I'd let you two sleep at my place?
Norin, Cheong Ah: We said~

The next day,
At about 2:30 pm,
Cheong Ah received message from the club leader
//Text Message//
Leader: Can you please go & get the last sketch & contract from the designer? Something urgent comes up to my family so I have to get back to home.
Cheong Ah looks at the clock & whisper
Cheong Ah: It's already 3 pm. Hope I can make it to the concert!!
Yumi: Does she have anyone to make a request? Why it has to be you?
Cheong Ah: She took side with me when I go meet the professor for causing a scene at the seminar. That's why I think I should help her back too. It'll be quick. I'll go to the concert from there. You guys go ahead~

Time skip~
Cheong Ah is still on the bus. It's already 3:45
Cheong Ah: why is there traffic jam at this hour???
She arrived to Joon Hyung's office at 4:00. And she knocked the door~
Joon Hyung: Yes, come in~
Cheong Ah: Annyeonghaseyo~
Joon Hyung: I've got contact from the leader that you would come instead of her.
Cheong Ah: Nae, something urgent comes up to her so.
Cheong Ah is reading a given contract and checks up with information that the leader wants.
Cheong Ah: Please make the office into the integrated whole. She wants to add fire protection system also~(while looking at the contract)
She hears no response from Joon Hyung and looks up and sees that he fell asleep sitting. Cheong Ah is amazed at how he quickly fell asleep.
Cheong Ah: what's up with him? ( whisper to herself)
That time, Jaemin ( Joon Hyung's hoobae) comes in with a tray of coffee.
Jaemin: Oh,Hyung falls asleep again~(with a raised volume)
Cheong Ah: shuu, come out with me please~
They go out of the room and Cheong Ah starts to question about Joon Hyung falling asleep like that because she knew that last time he was sent to the hospital is because of that reason.
Cheong Ah: Jaemin shi, how long has he been like that? I mean how many times have you seen him falling asleep suddenly?
Jaemin: Ever since he came back from London, I guess. Why? Are you interested in our Hyung?
Cheong Ah: It's not like that. Why would I grow interest in him? He has got no jams [no jam means no fun]
Jaemin: Nae, You are right. All he has got is looks.(sigh) . He has been working non stop. He didn't even go back to his house to greet his parents. He may not want to go there because they give no attention to their son, they only call come when they need. All they care is their business... ah,I'll stop here. 
Cheong Ah: Is that so?
Cheong Ah goes back to the room and wakes him up by giving some cough sound. Joon Hyung wakes up
Joon Hyung: Umm, sorry. Let's continue~
Cheong Ah quickly explains what she wants in the contract again.
Joon Hyung: Are you rapping or what?
Cheong Ah: You've got it what I said,right? Hmmhmm, Don't you want to pay off your debt to me?
Joon Hyung: debt? What debt?
Cheong Ah: When you were at hospital, I waited for you for 4 hours until you wakes up.
Joon Hyung: No one told you to do so. Even if you didn't come that day, I would wake up and discharge from the hospital by myself.
Cheong Ah: aish, Just help me please. I've got some assignments and I need help from you.
Joon Hyung: Why won't you go & ask your boyfriend to help?
Cheong Ah: what? Boyfriend? I wish to have one too.
Joon Hyung: then why does it have to be me? Don't you have anyone except me to ask for help?
Cheong Ah: Ahh, that....., how can I say........ It's related with architectural engineering so.... You are an expert in that field, isn't it?
Joon Hyung: If it's that case, you chose the right one indeed(with confident voice)
Cheong Ah's thought< Did he buy that? I have said that I'm Medical Psychology student. Why would I have to do an assignment concerning with the architecture? He really forgot things easily just like me>
Cheong Ah: so you accept it?? Give me a day of yours..I"ll give you a call. Bye,I gotta go now.
Then Jaemin come inside & ask Joon Hyung
Jaemin: Hyung, you are acting weird. You never accept like that kind of request.
Joon Hyung: She is quite unique. I just want to find out about her more~
Jaemin: heollll, Daebaek! She is the first ever girl you talk like this.

Meanwhile at the concert,
Yumi & Norin are waiting at the gate.
Yumi: It's already 5:30. Why hasn't Cheong Ah come? Give her a call.
Then Yumi sees a boy look alike with her sunbae. Yumi follows that boy. As Norin is searching her bag to take out her phone, Norin doesn't notice that.
Norin: ah, where does Yumi go?
Cheong Ah then arrives shortly later Yumi disappears.
Cheong Ah: huu, finally arrived. Where is Yumi?
Norin: she disappeared while I was going to give you a call.
Then they hear a boy calling out their names. It is Win.
Win: Why don't you guys go into the concert?? Umm? Where is Yumi???
Cheong Ah: She disappeared.

Meanwhile in the crowd, the boy was about to go into the concert & Yumi grabs his hand
Yumi: Sunbae???
He looks back and
Chan Hee: Awwn, Yumi Edwards?
Yumi: Nae,Sunbae. Do you come here to the concert too? I thought you wouldn't like these events. I lik....
Chan Hee: If you come here to watch concert, watch and go back safely.
He replies quickly and removes her hand..

Win, Cheong Ah & Norin are searching Yumi separately. Win finds her first, witnessing all between Yumi and Chan Hee.
Win: Why can't you see me, when I'm only looking at you??? (He muttered)
Then he calls Yumi.
Win: Yumi!!!!!
Yumi looks back & comes to him.( looking depressed)
Yumi: awn, you are here too?
Win: Don't disappear just like this.
Yumi: I was not lost. I just want to make sure something. Where is Norin?? Has Cheong Ah come?
Win: I will give them a call.

During the concert,
Win is with Cheong Ah, Yumi and NoRin all the time, but instead of watching the concert, he is only looking at Yumi who is enjoying the concert with all of her soul.
After the concert,
Cheong Ah: No Rin ah, I have something to buy, let's go to the mart before going back to dorm.
No Rin: Okay.
Yumi: I will come too.
Cheong Ah: No No, you don't need to. Win will send you off to your apartment. Just go home and rest. Bye bye. See you later.
Cheong Ah pulls No Rin's hands and quickly comes out of the concert, leaving Yumi and Win behind.
Yumi's thought <she did it again>
Win: Yumi, Wait here for a minute. I'll go take my car.
Yumi: omm.
Win goes to the car parking and drives his car to Yumi.

Meanwhile at the mart,
Norin: What are you buying???
Cheong Ah: Chamomile tea and Rosemary tea packs.
Someone:Don't you drink Milk Tea only? Why those tea packs?(in a raised volume)
Cheong Ah: Omo, You are scaring me. Where did you appear from, Lee Jeno???
Jeno: are you having insomnia? So you bought these??
Cheong Ah: It's not like that. Just for someone I know. By the way, are you going somewhere?
( looking at the long coat he is wearing)
Jeno: It's that day!!!!
Cheong Ah: Awwn!!
Norin: What day? What are you guys talking about?
Cheong Ah: He is going to line up to buy the new  game pack.
Jeno: Go back safely!!!! Bye, I am going~
Cheong Ah: Wait~~~
Cheong Ah quickly buys a single blanket at the mart and gives it to Jeno.
Cheong Ah: Take this or else you will be freezing~
Norin: why would he need blanket?
Cheong Ah: He will spend a night there waiting. He caught a cold last time.
Jeno can't help but smile~
Jeno: Thank You, Kim Cheong Ah!!! You are the only one that takes care of me!
Cheong Ah: Stop talking cheesy!! Go,Go~~
Jeno: I will surely use this. Bye~~~~~
