After the welcoming ceremony, all the alumni were given their respective time and room allotments for their sessions. Eun Hye's counselling session was scheduled at 3pm in the afternoon before which she had some free time.
Everyone else was busy with their tasks, the teachers were engaged in their duties. 'What to do now?' Eun Hye was wondering.
While she was strolling around the corridors of the school. She heard Hyun-Ki's voice from a classroom.
There he was. Teaching Math to those high school students. "He has always been a perfectionist!" she exclaimed while peeping in through the glass windows of the classroom.
"Had he taken the bar then..." she lowered her eyes and leaned back on that window.
As the lesson got over, Hyun-Ki emerged out, finding Eun Hye waiting for him.
"Hi! Long time.." he waived his hand.
"Yeah... how have you been?" She asked back.
"Well.. all good.. what about you, Ms. Psychologist?"
"I am good too."
They started walking side by side. Stopping by the staff room for a second, he exchanged a register with another guy and came back.
"Do you have another class?" asked Eun Hye.
"Yes.. your session is at 3 right? Let's meet after that." suggested Hyun-Ki.
"Sure. In that café outside?"
He nodded and went inside another classroom.
After her counselling session, Eun Hye went to the café where they usually met in the past. Hyun-ki was already there.
"Session over?"
"Hmm.." she replied. "So, where are you these days?"
"Jeju." he replied.
"Oh wow! So, are you still teaching?"
"Yup. I settled there in a small village and started teaching in the nearby town school."
"And your mom? Where is she now?"
He smiled dully, "I don't know."
"I'm sorry to ask that." Eun Hye quickly realized.
"No, no there's nothing to be sorry about. For me she has already died."
"Let's leave this subject, Hyun-ki. Tell me about yourself... uhm.. Girlfriend?" she asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
Again that dull smile appeared on his face. "No, no" he said looking straight in her eyes.
Eun Hye further asked, "You have any interest in women or... no?"
"What are you saying." Hyun-ki laughed at her question.
"Then, try me!" she promptly proposed.
