Chapter 79: College Scholastic Ability Test
Lately, it felt like time was slipping by incredibly fast.
Preparation for the September mock exams, the September mock exams themselves, early college admissions applications, and studying for the College Scholastic Ability Test.
As soon as one was over, another came crashing in.
In the midst of this relentless cycle, before we knew it, it was already mid-October.
The CSAT was now just about a month away.
Honestly, I was feeling a bit drained, but just one glance at Han-gyeol beside me was enough to make me pick up my pen again.
Just a little longer, and we would be twenty and together.
Once the CSAT is over, well have fun to our hearts content, as if the world belongs to me and Han-gyeol.
For that day, now is the time to grit our teeth and endure.
Today, as always, we were studying at my house.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Han-gyeol...!
Yeah? Lately, your gaze seems particularly fierce, Eun-ha.
When we turn twenty, Ill make you happy!
Ill make you happy too~
No, Ill make Han-gyeol happy! Because your happiness is my happiness!
Alright~ Im looking forward to it.
Yeah! Look forward to it!
Fuelled by Han-gyeols expectations, I studied hard.
Han-gyeol, too, was silently solving problems beside me, pen in hand.
Just you wait and see.
Because when we turn twenty, Ill devour everything.
Ill devour Han-gyeol, and Han-gyeol, and Han-gyeol.
Han-gyeol always calls me a beast, so hell understand.
Honestly, Im not really interested in anything else but Han-gyeol.
Ah, I cant wait to go on a trip with Han-gyeol.
To eat delicious food, see beautiful sights, and just be together...
Ive decided to stop my imagination here.
As I returned to the workbook, something fell from my nose with a plop.
The moment a red droplet hit the textbook, Han-gyeol looked over at me.
Eun-ha, you have a nosebleed!
Huh?
And I wasnt even having any dirty thoughts!
As I attempted to tilt my head back, Han-gyeol stopped me.
Let it bleed. Ill grab you some tissue!
Ah...! Okay..!
Han-gyeol hurriedly brought over some tissue and held it to my nose.
Youve been pushing yourself too hard lately...!
Its fine. Nosebleeds can happen when youre studying, right~
Lets call it a day and rest. And take it easy tomorrow too.
Huh? But I still have more to do today...!
No, you need to rest today.
Han-gyeol was firm.
Come here, lets take care of that nosebleed first.
No, its okay! Ill handle it in the bathroom.
I stood up and headed straight for the bathroom.
I couldnt just sit in front of my boyfriend with tissue stuffed up my nose.
In the bathroom, I cleaned up the blood and stuffed my nose with tissue until the bleeding stopped.
Luckily, the nosebleed stopped quickly, and I emerged from the bathroom.
Did it stop?
Yeah!
Lets just relax for the rest of the day.
Then, can I lie on Han-gyeols lap?
You never miss an opportunity, do you? Come here.
I scurried over and laid down on Han-gyeols lap.
Ah~ this is comfy.
Go to bed early today, okay? And sleep in tomorrow.
Got it. Sorry for worrying you~
Yeah. With the CSAT a month away, you need to take care of yourself. Make sure you eat well.
Dont worry~ I need to stay healthy to have fun with Han-gyeol after the CSAT.
Whats the first thing you want to do after the CSAT?
Were like walking discount coupons, right? We can do anything.
I said with a smirk, and Han-gyeol laughed.
Walking discount coupons, whats that? Thats funny.
What do you want to do with me after the CSAT, Han-gyeol?
Hmm~ Theres so much I want to do? I just want to dress up nicely and go on a date.
Sounds good. I want to see you in a coat.
A coat? I dont think Id look good in one.
Being modest, as usual~ You look good in anything.
Youre making me blush.
Hehe. Cute.
I reached up and gently cupped Han-gyeols cheek in my hand.
Will you tell me Im cool?
How can I when youre this cute?
Eun-ha-!
I turned towards where I heard my moms voice.
Mom-! Give me my phone! I want to call Han-gyeol!
I dashed over and grabbed my phone from my mom.
How did the exam go?
Great! I can go to the same college as Han-gyeol!
Oh, thats wonderful! Heres your phone! Lets head to the car first.
I hurriedly turned on my phone and climbed into my moms car.
As soon as it powered on, I called Han-gyeol, but his phone was still off.
Come on...! Pick up...! Pick up...!
Holding onto my phone and on our way home, my mom said,
Isnt that Han-gyeol over there?
Where? Where?
I quickly looked around, scanning the surroundings.
Isnt that Han-gyeol, the one walking over there on the right?
As I looked to the side, there was Han-gyeol indeed, walking while holding his phone.
Mom-! Pull over to the side!
We cant stop here~ We have to go further ahead to pull over.
I hurriedly rolled down the window and shouted out loud towards Han-gyeol.
Han-gyeol-!!
Han-gyeol stopped in his tracks and looked at me, his eyes widening.
Eun-ha-?!
Han-gyeol-! I think I can go to the same college as you!!
How can you know that without scoring your exam?!
I just have a feeling!! Lets go to college and become campus couples~!
But where are you going?! Cant you stop?!
We have to pull over ahead~! Hurry over-!
Han-gyeol quickened his pace and soon ran to the intersection.
Sweetie~ I know youre happy, but close the window. Moms cold.
Mom-! Han-gyeol must have done well on his exam too! I can be with Han-gyeol... with Han-gyeol..!
Suddenly, tears started pouring out.
Now I can really meet Han-gyeol without any worries.
We can go to the same college...!
Are you that happy?
Yes-! Im so happy...! Really... really so happy!
Alright~ Hurry to your beloved Han-gyeol.
As soon as Mom stopped the car at the intersection, I opened the door. I ran swiftly towards Han-gyeol, who was running towards me.
Han-gyeol-!
I immediately threw myself into Han-gyeols arms.
You did well, didnt you~?
Yeah! I did well! Thanks to Han-gyeol!
How is it thanks to me~? Its all because of Eun-has hard work.
No~ Its all thanks to Han-gyeol.
Han-gyeol gently wiped away my tears.
But you havent even scored it yet?
Theres something called a feeling~ What about Han-gyeol? Did you do well?
I think I did well. Youve worked hard too-umph!
Unable to hold back, I pressed my lips against Han-gyeols in a kiss. After the brief kiss, Han-gyeol said to me,
Isnt, isnt your mom behind us?
Shell pretend not to see. Do it for me too, Han-gyeol.
Im sure shes watching, even so...
Hurry~! Do it.
As I jumped up and down in excitement, Han-gyeol reluctantly tilted his head.
The sight of Han-gyeol gently pressing his lips against mine was incredibly endearing.
Eun-ha, lets have fun every day now.
Ive already made a list! Were going to be super busy starting tomorrow!
Alright, alright. Lets do everything on the list.
Yes! Youve done well holding on!
You too, Eun-ha~
As Han-gyeol and I were embracing, my moms stern voice cut through.
Kids! You cant do that in the street!
Looks like she was watching after all...
I was so grateful to Han-gyeol for being with me through the long journey of our student life.
Han-gyeol!
Yeah? What is it?
I love you.
I love you too.
Thank you for coming to me~ Im so grateful. Dont go anywhere, stay by my side! Ill make you happy!
Ill make you the happiest person in the world, Eun-ha.
You already are! Im so happy right now! The happiest in the world!
And just like that, our life as students preparing for exams came to a complete end.
