Netorase Girlfriend

Chapter 17: 〈Episode 17〉 Entrance Ceremony



I wonder if I'll be able to make new friends at university.

Will I be able to get good grades and get a good job right after graduation?

Even though I had negative thoughts, I could easily find people my age who had a positive mindset that everything would work out as planned.

"Are you a freshman? I'm a freshman too. Please take care of me."

Among them, the men who were confident in their appearance approached Jiyoung, who was standing right next to me, and extended their hands.

"Are you a freshman? Hi~! Let's be friends."

On the other hand, just like in high school, there were also girls who approached Jiyoung with bad intentions of clinging to her, a pretty girl, and trying to get all the benefits they could.

There were some men and women who were truly captivated by Jiyoung.

"It's annoying."

From freshmen to current students, and even middle-aged men who seemed to be professors, Ji-young was pestered, and she lamented that she had to go through the annoying freshman life again.

Unlike high school, it might be a little less so now that she have a boyfriend, but I feel like Jiyoung is reacting this way because I am not trustworthy, and that breaks my heart.

"Can't you take out OT?"

"They even tell us to participate as much as possible, but it's hard to see anyone leaving out."

Jiyoung asked weakly, leaning her head on my shoulder as she sat next to me.

From what I found out on the internet, it said that although OT is something you can freely skip, there might be some bad seniors, so if you want to have a comfortable college life, it's a good idea to participate.

If you participate and become friends with seniors, you can get information on a specific professor's test preparation method or genealogy.

"Sigh... I'm tired. I want to go home."

I guess she really doesn't want to go.

Well, I don't know Jiyoung's mind, but looking at us sitting here, the freshmen and current students glancing at Jiyoung, I could understand.

"Sniff sniff."

"What are you doing."

"Hoon is getting happiness from the smell."

Before she knew it, she had buried her face in it and was sniffing around like a dog.

When I asked what she was doing, she said he was getting happiness from my smell...

Me too. I get happiness and stability from Jiyoung's scent, so it's a bit hard to tell her not to do it, but since it's in front of everyone, I feel a bit self-conscious.

No. No. She's my girlfriend. Jiyoung is just smelling her boyfriend, so it's not a problem at all! So hey you! Don't look at me like you're going to kill me! And you who looks like a senior! Do you know me?! Why are you clenching your fists! Nervously.

I already had a feeling that I was being stamped by my seniors. I hoped I was mistaken.

You little shits.

"Isn't there a single freshman who hasn't come?"

A young man climbed up onto the stage and asked that into the microphone.

He looks like he's a student council member, but he doesn't have any ideas. If it's a high school, there should be a lot of kids who are good at math since they came from a nearby middle school. This is a university.

And since it is a university in Seoul, there are many new students from all over the country, so we cannot answer if you ask us that question because it is not certain.

"Well, since everyone seems to be here, let's proceed with the entrance ceremony. Wow~!"

The entrance ceremony continued with a loud cheer and applause, but no new students followed suit.

An unknown man came up and spoke, and then another man who looked like a high-ranking official came up and spoke.

And now.

"Freshman representative. Jiyoung Yoon. Please come up."

"I'll go and come back."

"Yeah, have a nice trip."

Me, I am confident!

As my gaze was fixed on Jiyoung who had gotten up from her seat, I boldly grabbed her face and kissed her.

Haha. At this point, there must be some who give up because they think there's no room to interfere since they're a sweet couple kissing in front of everyone?!

"cute."

Jiyoung, who realized why I was kissing her, the expression on her face that had been dying until just now disappeared and she spoke with a bright smile. This time, Jiyoung bent down and kissed me again as she opened her mouth.

"I'll go and come back."

As a representative of the freshmen... what was it? An oath? Anyway, Jiyoung went up to the stage to do something that seemed meaningless, and her already beautiful face began to shine even brighter under the light shining down from above.

"Oath."

Her clear and refreshing voice echoed and filled this wide space. With just an oath, countless men and women fell in love with my proud girlfriend.

"great job."

"What a hardship."

When I told Jiyoung, who had returned to my side, that she had a hard time, she said a few words and smiled as if asking if I felt the hardship.

And then there's the really meaningless stuff that follows.

The entrance ceremony finally came to a close 20 minutes after Jiyoung's oath.

"I think we're on that bus."

A bus caught my eye with a sign on it that said the name of the department I was enrolled in.

Maybe that's the bus we should take.

"Hoon-ah. Let's sit here."

"Ah... Okay."

Jiyoung grabbed my arm as I was habitually walking briskly toward the back of the bus, past the people already seated, and told me to sit in the middle seat.

Even in high school, when we got on a bus like this, we naturally sat in the back row.

Of course, I was like that after I started dating Jiyoung. Jiyoung always sat in the back seat, and after we started dating, I also started sitting in the back seat.

Anyway, even now, if she sits in the back seat, there is a risk that she will be photographed even more by the seniors who have already taken pictures of her without her intention.

She might be thinking something like this.

What's that kid doing sitting over there? Isn't he a freshman? How bold of him. Etc.

This is all my subjective opinion, but I could guess that Jiyoung had similar thoughts just from the fact that she asked to sit in the middle instead of the back.

"Hello~! Your name is... Jiyoung, right?"

A woman sat down right next to us.

She is a freshman who approached Jiyoung before the entrance ceremony and said hello to her and asked her to become friends.

"Yeah. That's Jiyoung."

"I remember correctly. I'm Da-hye Lee. I'm twenty. Oh. Are you over twenty-one?"

Unlike high school, in college, even if you are in the same first year, there is a huge age difference.

On average, the age difference was 1-2 years, but occasionally, there would be a senior who was a quarter of their life older than her and was sitting in the classroom wearing a name tag that said first grader. Taking that into account, Dahye carefully asked her a question.

However, Ida Hye's appearance was quite ordinary, and her body was not particularly outstanding, so I asked Ji Young, but she seemed completely uninterested for this reason, sitting by the window and busy watching people boarding the bus, so I answered on her behalf.

"We're both twenty years old, so feel free to talk."

"Oh, really?"

She answered with a look on her face as if asking, "Why does the man sitting next to me keep answering?"

"What's your relationship?"

Are you asking because you don't know?

Or maybe we just haven't seen each other kissing openly.

Of course, it would be normal to think that they were lovers since they did that in front of everyone.

"Can't you tell just by looking at it?"

"..."

"..."

If you just say one word, it will be enough.

Jiyoung said in a sharp tone, as if asking why I had to ask that.

Still looking out the window.

"Ha, hahaha. Right? It suits you so well."

"Tsk..."

She was a female student in the same department, the same age, and seemed friendly. She could have been a good friend to Jiyoung, who didn't have any friends, but she was losing her temper for no reason and pushing away people who approached her for no reason, so it wasn't a very nice sight for me as her boyfriend.

Still, a smile came to my face.

Because it seemed like she was upset that she never thought that the man would be her boyfriend.

"Did you feel... bad?"

"..."

"I'm sorry. I apologize."

"..."

Jiyoung didn't answer.

She didn't seem to be in a good mood today, but Ida Hye's words were the final blow, and he was so angry that he didn't even want to talk to her.

At first glance, she seemed like a nice girl, but I thought I should be the bridge between them to become close. I was about to say something with an awkward smile.

"Do you have a lot of money?"

A man who didn't look at all nervous like a freshman approached me and asked me out of the blue if I had a lot of money.

What the heck, this guy.

I felt a little offended.

But I guess I should be careful since I look like a senior.

"no."

"Are you doing well at home?"

"It's not that I can't live."

"mediocrity?"

"yes."

"What are you good at?"

"Yes? Why is that?"

If I heard it from a girl, I would think she likes me. But if I heard it from a guy, I felt really bad.

"Why are you dating someone who is neither handsome nor rich?"

This time, he asked the question targeting Jiyoung, not me.

"..."

Only then did Jiyoung take her eyes off the window and turn her head.

"It's prettier when you look at it up close?"

He smiled faintly and waved his hand.

Swish.

Jiyoung turned her head again and looked out the window.

"hmm.....?"

He tilted his head while caressing the hand he had been shaking awkwardly, or more precisely, the luxury brand watch hanging on his wrist.

"Childhood friend?"

It came back to me again.

"No. We first met in high school."

The fact that you're asking me so openly means that Jiyoung and I don't get along.

Honestly, if I were in someone else's shoes, I would have felt the same way.

But... But. Can't you just leave us alone for a bit? I'm starting to get annoyed.

"Ha... so annoying. Really."

A deep sigh was heard from the seat next to me.

"I confessed first. I fell in love at first sight. Why? Is that weird?"

"No. It's not weird."

He looks slightly flustered by Jiyoung's straightforward words and clarifies that he is not, but he must be thinking differently.

"Really? That's a good thing. There were a lot of guys who said all kinds of nonsense like, "I'm being threatened by Hoon because I'm dating him," or "I have a lot of money," but you don't see us that way, do you?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Hehe... I wish everyone was like that."

Haha.

Jiyoung finished speaking with a very charming smile.

Oh my gosh. That's so cool.

"That, that's right... Ha, haha."

He felt his spirits sink and he ran away, heading to the back of the bus. The bus started moving only when all the students participating in OT had gathered.
