Bab 13

1. Gyeowool turns 25 this year.

1. Just last winter, she and young began going out. 2. And now... Springtime is here.

1. "Hey, guys. I'm here..." 2. "Gyeowool!" 3. "Gyeowool unnie!"

1. "Congratulations on passing the civil service exam!"

1. "You guys..." 2. "Thank you!"

1. "Wow, so you're already set after graduation... And you still got an entire semester left!" 2. "You must be a genius or something." 3. "You have no idea..."

1. "You should've seen how hard she worked last year." 2. "When she didn't pass her second attempt, she took the semester off and deleted all her social media accounts..." 3. "She stayed so long at the library that people thought it was haunted."

1. "That's right. She took 24 credits in her first year. And she even went to night school to prepare for the exam..." 2. "She didn't pass that exam at such an early age for nothing."

1. "Oh, stop exaggerating." 2. "I was lucky that I could focus on my studies..." 3. "Huh?!"

1. "Do you have a new boyfriend, unnie?!" 2. "Oh, uh..."

1. "Yeah, it's been a while... Hehe" 2. "What? When?! Who?!?" 3. "You didn't know?" 4. "She's been in a situationship with this guy for over four yeras." 5. "Oh... You mean that person who's like, ten years older than her?"

1. "But didn't he say he won't go out with you till you graduate?" 2. "Yeah, what happened?"

1. "Well..."

1. "He's actually...a she." 2. Few days after passing the final test

2. "How've you been?" 4. She reached out to me for the first time in a year and a half...

1. "!" 2. "Ms. Sunwoo! OMG it's been ages! How've you been?" 3. "I passed the civil service exam!" 4. "Lol I knew you would"

1. "You free tmr? I'll buy you lunch." 2. "That'd be great!" 3. It was a date... 4. But I didn't get my hopes up too high. 5. We hadn't been talking lately, after all... Even if there was a shared understanding behind that.

1. "Ms. Sunwoo!" 2. "!"

1. She seemed thinner than the last time I saw her...

1. "Congrats, kid. You earned it." 2. "I thought the least I could do is congratulate you in person."

1. ...but she still had that calming, gentle effect on me. 3. That day with her went by so quickly.

1. It was as if we had met just the day before.

2. "Here."

1. "A phone?" 2. "Huh?" 3. "It's for you, for passing that exam." 4. "The one you're using right now is ancient, right?"

1. "Wow... But isn't this expensive...? Can I really have it?" 2. "Take it." 3. "There's really no one else that can use it anyway."

1. "Huh?" 2. The phone's already on...?

1. "Ugh..." 2. "!" 3. "I know what I said about putting this off till you graduate..." 4. "But as embarrassing as this is, I've gotta admit each day felt like an eternity waiting for you..."

1. "So... Can you help me out this time?"

1. "...and so that was that." 2. "I really wanted to come clean with you guys before we graduate..." 3. "..."

1. "Damn..." 2. "Is that all? Well, that's a relief!" 3. "Huh...?"

1. "I was worried you were gonna say you're seeing a married man or something!" 2. "So what's she like? Is she pretty?" 3. "Wow, you get to enjoy a new relationship now that you passed the exam? So lucky!"

1. "Way to flex, girl!" 2. "Ooh, can you introduce her to us later? I'm dying to see what she's like!"

1. "Actually, she's coming to pick me up today!" 2. "Wanna meet her?" 3. "Perfect timing!" 4. "Awesome!"

1. "Hi, unnie!" 2. "Yeah, I'm heading down with my friends I told you about..." 3. Except this one had to go to class... 4. "You already passed the gate?" 5. "Oh! I think I see your car!"
