Girlfriend is Too Good to Me – Ep. 7

Ep. 7

“Name.”

“Aaaargh!! You crazy bastards! Seriously, that freaking hurts!”

“Name.”

“You crazy s…”

“Name.”

“Lee Heena! You sons of bitches!”

“Age.”

“Same age! Same age!”

“Confirmed.”

This guy nodding without any expression is genuinely scary. And the other guys next to him are just the same.

“Hey, are we almost done?”

“I really want to fucking kill you.”

“Hey, just bear with it a little longer.”

What did I do so wrong?

A once-in-a-lifetime confession from a high school girl?

That high school girl becoming a freaking pretty girlfriend?

Putting up a couple shot as my profile picture as if to show off?

You narrow-minded bastards.

Shouldn’t friends sincerely congratulate each other?

If a guy like Jung Yoonseong or Kim Suhwang went through something like this, I would…

Hmm.

Um…

Ugh, I’ll take a few more hits.

“So, what’s the deal with the Shincheonji [a controversial new religious movement in South Korea] thing? You were so sure he was Shincheonji, you son of a bitch.”

“He came back yesterday… said he wasn’t.”

“What if he’s just saying that but he’s actually Shincheonji?”

“After having a deep conversation for almost two hours yesterday, it turns out he’s not.”

“He could have been sincerely proselytizing for almost two hours.”

“Would even Shincheonji use a high school student like that? Our imaginations were bullshit from the start.”

“He could have become even more insidious.”

“This bastard really wants to frame him that way, huh?”

There’s no reasoning with them.

The guy who was spouting nonsense steps aside, and the magnificent physique of boy detective Kim Suhwang, who looks like a gangster you’d run into on the street, steps into his place.

“What’s going on?”

“What do you mean, out of the blue?”

“You didn’t come online to play games yesterday, and your profile picture has been changed to a couple photo.”

“…Oh, right?”

“Is team ranking with us more important, or is your love life more important?”

My love life, you fucks.

“Of course, team ranking is more important, but there was a misunderstanding yesterday, so I was late resolving it.”

“You’re lying without even blinking an eye.”

“No, what the… Argh! Stop shaking me, you bastard! I’m getting stabbed by Legos!!!”

Who the hell brought this?

Who would play with Legos…

“Hey, Jung! Legos are flying over here.”

“Thanks. I’ll come collect them.”

Jung Yoonseong, you son of a bitch.

He was ranting about investing in Legos with his allowance, and now he’s bringing the ones he couldn’t sell.

“Hey, no time to be distracted.”

“What is it now, you bastard?”

“Your girlfriend.”

“What about Heena?”

“…Is she pretty?”

“……? Didn’t you see the picture?”

Do I really have to say it again with my own mouth?

“She might have used filters.”

“We just took a selfie together yesterday and uploaded it right away? We even only took one picture. And…”

“And?”

“Heena doesn’t take pictures well. She’s even prettier in real li…”

“Hey, I’m gonna kill you, you bastard.”

You narrow-minded, single bastards…!

The painful morning time,

1st period break

2nd period break

3rd period break

5th period break

6th period break

7th period break

Has ended.

The redness on my shins suggests I’ll have aftereffects until tomorrow.

Thankfully, I’m exempt during lunch and dinner because of basketball time. These bastards shut their mouths and act all team-oriented because they need to play basketball, but I barely managed to resist smashing their heads.

And then came the mandatory self-study time.

Normally, I would just surf the web or read novels on my phone.

But today, I was looking back at the texts I had exchanged with Heena in between classes.

[Heena: We have mandatory self-study too, but it’s not really enforced. They only open the library and it’s voluntary, so I usually do it at home!]

[Heena: Are you busy hanging out with your friends that you’re replying late? I saw you a few times after school, and you seem really close to your friends]

[Heena: It’s okay! I also sometimes forget the textbook content, so I’m reviewing during breaks~]

[Heena: It’s self-study time, right? Study hard! I’ll text you again later~ (Puppy doing a fighting pose emoticon)]

This is just a part of today’s texts, but even from this, I could tell that Heena is quite diligent. Judging from our conversations so far, her grades are probably at least in the top tier.

In comparison, me.

Was my last mock exam average around 4?

It’s not that I’m particularly bad at studying, but if I focus during exam periods, I usually fluctuate around 3.5~4. I’ve never fallen below that.

However, regardless of how my grades turn out, I don’t really care much about them.

My parents also don’t interfere with my grades as long as I don’t cause any major problems, and honestly, it’s just too fun hanging out with friends and playing games.

I probably wouldn’t have even thought about studying until around senior year, and I wouldn’t have even considered studying until the end of this year.

That’s how it would have been.

But after two days of shocking encounters, and those short conversations with Heena, my mind changed a little overnight.

Of course, it’s not like I think everything Heena said and everything I saw in her is exactly as I imagine it to be.

Even so, if my first girlfriend ever, excluding vague memories from middle school, seems so perfect.

My pride and self-esteem wouldn’t allow me to just sit back and rely on her. Maybe it’s anxiety.

Clearly, I was the one who received the confession, and my girlfriend is showing me so much favor.

But objectively speaking, it’s true that I seem quite lacking.

Even if I don’t get hurt by it, shouldn’t I at least try to put in some effort?

Whether it’s a three-day resolution or whether I really change, I don’t know, but at least starting from today, when I’ve made up my mind.

As I resolved to do so and was about to open my textbook for the first time in a long time, Jung Yoonseong, the Lego-investing bastard next to me, poked his head in.

“What?”

“Are you done with this week’s writing assignment?”

“That? I finished it all during self-study that day.”

“Damn, I haven’t even touched it. Help me out.”

“Do it on the weekend. It’s due on Monday.”

“Why would I do that kind of thing at home on the weekend?”

“Do it now then. You can finish it in two hours.”

“You know I’m terrible at Korean, even worse than everything else. Help me out.”

“The guy who brought Legos to break my legs is asking for help with this?”

Are you even human?

“Honestly, the one who betrayed me was in the wrong. I wanted to hear your stories, but let’s get this homework done first.”

“Ugh… you piece of trash. I was actually going to study for once.”

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha”

“Do you want to solo this?”

“Ah, of course, I knew my friend Yeon-woo was going to study, but let’s help each other out.”

“I want to flick your forehead so hard.”

Let’s study from tomorrow.

Seriously, you’re the most unhelpful guy in my life.

—

“I’m heading out first~ Log in today.”

“Yeah, I’m going in since I decided not to watch anything today.”

“You freaking scammer, go die.”

“Thanks for the compliment~”

I parted ways with the guy who flipped me off as he walked away, showing no gratitude for the two hours I helped him with his homework. I headed home.

I thought about doing mandatory self-study until 10 PM starting today, since I was determined, but it felt like I wouldn’t even last three days if I tried to do too much too quickly. My immediate goal is to do my best during class and the mandatory self-study time until 8 PM.

The mere thought of studying made me feel lazy. But when I think of my girlfriend, whom I just started dating yesterday, I gain strength.

Yeah. Frankly, going to the same university would be difficult, but I need to go to a university that’s at least somewhat decent so I don’t look too inferior compared to my girlfriend. If I keep living too carefree, Heena might lose interest in me.

As I was thinking that and about to send Heena a KakaoTalk [a popular Korean messaging app] message.

“…”

“…Sorry, I came.”

For the third day in a row, at the same place.

I ran into her.

—

I was very embarrassed, but I led Heena to the bench in the playground where we went yesterday.

“Sorry for coming so suddenly…”

“No, I’m grateful that you came to see me. I’m grateful, but…”

I’m grateful and happy, but.

It’s better to make these things clear.

“I feel bad. You’re going to keep spending money on bus fare… and I’m worried because it’s late.”

“Yeah…”

I didn’t mean to blame her, but seeing her so dejected made my heart ache. But she said we’d rest today and go on a date tomorrow.

“What’s wrong? I didn’t expect you to come again since we have plans for tomorrow.”

“It’s not that… I can’t text you for a few hours because you’re doing mandatory self-study…”

“Yeah.”

“I missed you and came…”

“…”

There was nothing I could do.

She said she missed me, so what could I do?

“I’ve been coming to see you every day lately… I feel empty if I don’t see you…”

“No… um…”

What could I say to my girlfriend who said that?

“I missed you too, so it worked out well.”

“Really…?”

“But if you miss me, just text me. I’ll come.”

If I go, the time we meet will be a little less than now.

I run a simulation in my head.

Unless I teleport at 8 PM, after finishing, packing up, and taking the bus.
Even if it’s not that far, the earliest I can arrive is around 8:30 PM?

Assuming I arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. If we talk until around 10 PM, and I walk her home and come back, it’ll be around 10:30 PM.

Seems okay?

The only thing that’s not okay is the transportation costs, which I’ve never had to worry about except when going out to play.

I wonder if my mom would help me out if I said I was working on my love life.

“But I feel bad about that…”

“I feel so bad that you keep taking the bus! It’s not every day, and it’s just when you want to see me on weekdays…”

“I’ll want to see you every day…?”

“I’ll have to go every day then. Should I get a pass?”

There’s no way there’s a pass for the local bus.

Anyway, my cheesy lines seemed to work a little, and a smile returned to Heena’s face.

“Hehe, sorry. I really came without thinking today.”

“Then, even if we don’t see each other every day, tell me whenever you really want to see me. I’ll go.”

“Okay… I’ll definitely contact you even if I come.”

“I’d appreciate that. I’m not kidding, I’m really worried about you.”

“There are still a lot of other kids walking around at this time, so it’s okay.”

“The other kids are okay, but I’m worried about you.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re too pretty.”

“Oh, really…”

I said it confidently to Heena, who was embarrassed, as if I didn’t know embarrassment, but it was really sincere.

Even if she didn’t tell me, I’m sure there were guys who tried to get her number on the way, 200%.

There’s no way there wouldn’t be.

So, today, until I walked Heena home, we endlessly debated whether I should go or she should come.

“Then, it’s always 50/50? Since you came today, I’ll go there next time?”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

Negotiations complete.

“Should we meet at 11 tomorrow?”

“Yeah! Let’s meet in front of the fast food restaurant in front of the station.”

“Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll be honest, I like pizza, pasta, and tteokbokki [Korean spicy rice cakes].”

“I like anything. Because I’m eating with you, Yeon-woo.”

“I… I see. Me too.”

“But expensive things would be a burden, so should we just eat at the place we meet?”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah, it’s not about what we eat, but eating with you…”

“Stop right there. I get it. Let’s eat hamburgers.”

“Hehe”

I was so embarrassed that I cut her off.

After that, we talked a little more about tomorrow’s schedule.

“Then, I’ll go now~”

“Go home safely!”

“Yeah, I’ll text you when I get there~”

I said goodbye to Heena at the bus stop again today.

I’m happy about Heena’s unexpected actions today, but I’m also a little embarrassed.

It’s nice that she likes me, but something.

Is it because we just started dating?

My girlfriend’s expressions of affection were unrestrained, and her actions were number one in the province(?).

I saw signs of it yesterday, but today she showed it in action.

Is it because I’ve never been in a relationship before?

Is everyone like this at the beginning of a relationship?

It was like watching a female lead in a manga who is so happy to be with the main character that she doesn’t know what to do.

Am I being too self-conscious?

But I feel like I’m forgetting something.
