When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 817 Exposed
"You didn't know how to do this problem, did you? You wanted to ask me about it last night when you left, but I've already done it for you and written out all the steps."

Deok-sun felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her face beaming with smiles.

He remembered what he had said.

Jung-hwan suddenly shook his head and looked around to make sure no one else was there.

"Open your mouth."

Deok-sun obediently tilted her head back and opened her mouth.

The next moment, a bitter taste was detected on the tip of the tongue.

是巧克力.

Deok-sun's cheers were choked by the chocolate. As the bittersweet taste melted in her mouth, she saw Jung-hwan's ear tips turn red.

This guy has suddenly become quite romantic.

But he's still a bit clumsy.

Deok-sun hopes there will be more of these things.

The wind in the alley suddenly became lighter, and even the kimchi that Kim Sun-young was drying next door smelled like it was mixed with honey.

Just then, the iron gate was pushed open.

Paula walked out wearing a trench coat, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two for three seconds.

What are you two doing standing here?

Jung-hwan quickly greeted her, "Bora unnie."

Deok-sun, her cheeks slightly puffed out, said, "It's none of your business."

Paula adjusted her glasses and drove away from the alley.

Jung-hwan let out a long sigh of relief: "Bora's eyes are still so terrifying."

Deok-sun said, "What's so scary? When I got home last night, I saw her talking on the phone with Ah-yong, and she was laughing so hard her gums were showing. Okay, let's hurry up and take the bus."

Jung-hwan said, "Aren't we waiting for them?"

Deok-sun took his arm and said, "Let's go, let's not wait any longer."

In her eyes, everyone else is a third wheel.

Jung-hwan struggled free from Deok-sun's embrace and whispered, "Let's get back together once we're out of the alley."

Deok-sun said with a displeased look, "Okay."

coward.

……

Aze's family.

Steaming hot air swirled above the bowl of sauce, and Phoenix Hall had been sitting at the table for three minutes.

The clock on the wall has jumped from 6:30 to 6:40.

He was thinking about how to start the conversation.

Love among adults, especially when there are children, is very complicated.

Phoenix Hall didn't know how to start the conversation, but he felt very comfortable around Kim Sun-young.

This feeling is both as comfortable as an old friend and a wonderful state of subtle excitement.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

"Aze, come out for breakfast."

Aze's voice came from inside the bedroom: "You eat first."

Today is the day he leaves the country, and normally he doesn't eat.

"Um... I have something to tell you."

The door was pushed open.

Aze walked to the dining table and waited quietly for Phoenix Hall to speak.

Phoenix Hall pushed the bowl of soy sauce soup towards Aze.

Seeing his elderly father stammering, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Aze said, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. It's okay, please tell me."

Phoenix Hall smiled, licked his lips, and felt a little nervous inside.

"Dad also wants to be like you, to have a good friend. I haven't decided yet, but I want to be good friends with Sunwoo's mom, to have someone to talk to and to spend the rest of my life with. But if you don't agree, I absolutely won't let her be my friend."

"As for Dad, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. This is just Dad's wishful thinking, it's not decided yet. I just wanted to get your permission first, that's why I asked you."

"Dad would never do anything you don't like."

This may be the longest statement ever made by Phoenix Hall.

At first, I was nervous, but by the end, I was surprisingly calm. A calmness tinged with trepidation.

A smile appeared on Aze's face as he sat up straight.

"Dad, I hope that even when I'm not around, you can still have a hot meal. This is my life, and I hope you can be happy."

"As long as Dad is happy, I don't care what happens to me."

The two expressed themselves very subtly, yet their stance was clear.

A father's love for his child, and a child's love for his father, are both very selfless.

Phoenix Hall was deeply moved, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Not knowing how to express his feelings, he could only ask, "When are you leaving today?"

Aze stood up and said, "Minister Li and Acting Director Liu will come to pick me up tonight."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his bedroom.

……

Ssangmun-dong Girls' High School.

Lunch break.

Sunlight streamed in at an angle through the window.

Deok-sun and Prince Hyun sat by the window, their fingers entwined with colorful ribbons.

Nangong Yimeng was still fast asleep, slumped over her desk.

Zhang Meiyu walked over carrying a bag, sat down next to Deok-sun, and glanced at Namgoong Yi-meng.

"Hey, she's not dead, is she?"

Wang Zixian then said, "Hmm, he's still alive. What's in the bag?"

Zhang Meiyu opened the bag and took out the items one by one.

"These are nutrients, these are vitamins, these are good for your eyes. Take them and eat them, I have plenty at home."

The two gasped in surprise.

She is indeed a rich woman, and very generous at that.

These things are very expensive.

Deok-sun teased, "Does your family own a pharmacy? Is your dad a pharmacist?"

Zhang Meiyu said somewhat helplessly, "No, my dad said that now that I'm in my senior year of high school, he's worried that I won't be able to keep up physically, so he bought these things. He said that malnutrition will affect my studies."

Wang Zixian said, "You must be overnourished. You can eat more than a dozen slices of bread a day. It will be a big problem if you don't get into university. Your brothers are all in university, right?"

Zhang Meiyu leaned back in her chair, frowning as she said, "That's right, what should we do?"

All three were poor students and knew whether they could get into university.

Deok-sun said, "Did you get 1,300th place this time?"

Heartbroken.

Zhang Meiyu immediately retorted, "What do you take me for? I'm not at that level yet. I'm only number 1280."

Wang Zixian smiled slightly, though he was shorter than her.

In any case, the three of them were ranked about the same.

Zhang Meiyu continued, "On the morning of my birthday, my dad told me to look forward to his gift. I don't know why, but I had a feeling that a bunch of tutors would come."

Wang Zixian shook his head and said, "Tutoring teachers probably won't work either."

Zhang Meiyu was very unhappy. She stood up, pinched Wang Zixian's chin, and acted like a domineering CEO.

Wang Zixian said, "I know, I made a big mistake, I won't say anything more."

Just then, the school bell rang.

Zhang Meiyu then let go of his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

Deok-sun put the three bottles of supplements into a plastic bag and took them aside.

Wang Zixian muttered softly, "She has quite a strong sense of self-esteem."

Deok-sun looked at the class schedule posted on the table and was very happy.

"Yay, it's music class."

The class monitor returned to his seat, heard this, and silently took out his pencil case.

At a time like this, you're still thinking about music class?

She shook her head, wondering what Deok-sun was thinking.
