And then, a day passed, and it was the first day of school, including the entrance ceremony.

From the moment I woke up, I hurriedly prepared to leave with an excited heart. Today, after the entrance ceremony, I had to visit the lecture halls too. There were mandatory major courses, and I had signed up for most of the morning classes that both my internet friends and real-life friends had warned me against.

Of course, it wasn't with the mindset of "I'll live diligently by squeezing my time." I just had a fixed lifestyle since high school, and lately, because of Sarang, I couldn't sleep deeply and woke up early in the morning, so I decided to do it this way.

I simply thought it would be nice to attend classes quickly and spend time with my family since I was active from early morning anyway.

When Suhwang saw my schedule, he immediately said, "Are you out of your mind?" Heena was a bit worried too, but when I told her I did it to spend time with her, the corners of her mouth twitched.

And we decided that none of our families would come to the entrance ceremony. Dad had to go to work, and Mom had to visit her side of the family for an urgent matter. Heena's family was in a similar situation. We couldn't bring Sarang out yet because it was still dangerous.

Actually, both of my parents wanted to attend even if they had to force it, but since they had used a lot of vacation days recently to look after Sarang, I told them it was okay not to come. Honestly, I thought there was no need to come just for a brief entrance ceremony.

"You didn't forget anything?"

"What could I forget on the first day? I'll be back soon."

"No. If you have plans after it's over, go ahead. It's not good to skip too much when you didn't even go to orientation."

"You skipped most of it, didn't you?"

"Well, I found it boring, and it was better to keep a bit of distance. But you like that kind of thing, don't you?"

"Hmm... Okay. I'll let you know later."

"Be careful on the road... Sarang! Say 'Daddy, have a safe trip!'"

There was no way Sarang, who wasn't even a month old, could say such things, but she still rolled her eyes towards me. I couldn't help but smile at that adorable face.

"Daddy's going now~ Are you going to feed Sarang now?"

"Yeah. Oppa is preparing it. He insists on doing it himself just for today. Didn't you two fight about that earlier?"

"Geez... Then I'm off now. Call me if anything happens."

-Smooch!

I gave Heena a last kiss on the lips and left the house. With Heena waving her hand until the door closed behind me.

I arrived at Seoyeon University, where I had come a few times to see Heena off. After killing some time chatting, I attended the entrance ceremony. There wasn't much to it. Just a few performances and congratulatory speeches.

Even that didn't leave much of an impression. They seemed to say some nice things, but I entered the auditorium a bit late, so I was too far back to focus.

So I just half-listened, and as soon as it was over, I left the auditorium. Then, just like entering a new class in high school, I nervously peeked into the lecture hall and finally met some of my classmates. Most of them would probably arrive soon since it was a mandatory major course.

"Yeonho hyung! You look exactly like your profile picture!"

"Jaehwan! You came earlier than me? Didn't you go to the entrance ceremony?"

"Of course I went. I rushed here right after it ended to see you."

"Really? Anyway, nice to meet you. Later, let's eat..."

"Oh! The married man!"

"Who's this? You look familiar from your profile pic. You're Chanhyung, right? Jealous?"

"Your wife is... no, I'm extremely jealous of your girlfriend, sunbae-nim!"

"Sarang is cute too, you know."

"But Yeonho hyung, you became super famous even though you didn't come to the MT because of your profile pic. Everyone in the chat knows you even though you didn't do a selfie reveal."

"Isn't hyung's profile pic already selfie-reveal level? Anyone can see it's a family of three."

We had already introduced ourselves via chat and agreed to speak comfortably, calling each other hyung without honorifics. Anyway, even though this was the first time I'd seen their faces, I could talk to them comfortably without awkwardness.

Heena might have been a bit surprised too, but it might be thanks to our class chat room being extremely active from the start compared to others. I heard that usually people don't talk much because of awkwardness. Our group chat was on fire.

Anyway, after meeting those two, others started gathering one by one in groups of two or three. And what I felt while meeting them one by one was that they were surprisingly interested in me.

I guess they were curious about the fact that I was married and had a child at my age. Not just the guys, but the few girls were also approaching me and striking up conversations.

Well, with a profile picture proudly showing off, a married 21-year-old father - of course they'd be curious.

"Oppa, show us Sarang! Do you have more pictures?"

"My gallery is full of nothing but Sarang's photos."

"Aw~ What about your girlfriend's... oh, she's not your girlfriend. What should we call her?"

"Senior would be a bit awkward. Just call her unni. She's a Seoyeon University student too. Though she took a leave of absence after the first semester."

"Really?! No way?! Wow, so you're a Seoyeon University couple!"

A short-haired girl with fresh makeup, giving off the vibe of someone who just started dressing up for college, leaned in closer with sparkling eyes. Her name was Yujin, wasn't it?

I was a bit taken aback by that strange sense of intimacy. She seemed to feel more comfortable approaching me, thinking I was safe because I had a definite partner.

If Heena saw this, she would have given a cold laugh at the lack of distance. I slightly pulled back my body as I spoke.

"The professor will be here soon. Shall we all grab lunch together later and chat? Anyone up for trying the cafeteria around one or two?"

"Me! Me! Me!"

"Count me in, hyung!"

"Me too! But can we all sit together? How many of us are there already? Six, seven..."

"Hey, not everyone will be able to come anyway. Our schedules will clash."

"Does anyone know the way there?"

Since it was the first day, a surprisingly large number had gathered from this early hour, making it quite lively.

We chatted like that until just before the professor arrived, then dispersed. We heard various explanations from the professors we met for the first time.

"Welcome, everyone. I'm Professor Shin Jeonghun, in charge of the Discrete Mathematics lecture. Nice to meet you all. This lecture—"

Of course, there was no actual class today, just a brief introduction followed by orientation including the lecture plan. Still, it felt very fresh to have a professor, different from high school teachers, speaking in front of us - something I had only heard about.

Anyway, I spent the whole day just attending orientations for my courses. Since the lecture halls changed each time, I briefly separated from the others and met up with a few for lunch.

Meeting like that briefly, only when our times overlapped, felt disappointing, so we ended up making plans to drink together. It happened so naturally.

Is this why Heena told me to go if a gathering came up? Honestly, it felt like I shouldn't skip this drinking session, even if I had skipped the orientation.

It seemed like the distance with the other kids would become too awkward if I skipped this too.

"Shit, this place is a fucking maze. Hyung, do you know the way?"

"No, wait... let me check the map."

While getting lost on the vast university grounds and searching for lecture halls, we also watched club promotions in between. That's how I spent the whole first day exploring the university.

Around 5 PM, after enjoying my first day of college like that.

The group from earlier, plus some who joined late after getting messages, headed to a bar. More than a dozen people in total. It was a bit early, but the gathering was spontaneous, and there was no point in wasting more time just to drink in the evening.

Most had just turned 20, and even those of us who were older due to taking a gap year were at most 21 or 22.

This youthful first gathering of classmates took place at a chicken place near the back gate of the school.

"Yeah, Heena. I'll just drink a little and come back soon."

—I thought so. I knew you wouldn't be able to refuse if the kids insisted on going.

"No... it's not like that, but I thought it would be good to attend at least once since it's the first time we met..."

—I know. Have fun. But don't drink too much, and take a taxi if you have trouble getting back. I put some hangover medicine in your bag, so make sure to take it.

"Okay, thanks. What about Sarang? Is she sleeping?"

—She just fell asleep again. It was XX Chicken, right? Call me again before you come back!

"Okay~"

-Click.

As soon as I entered the chicken place, I got permission from Heena. Until I arrived here, I had thought I'd only stay for an hour, but once I got here, the atmosphere made it clear that wouldn't happen, so I called her just now.

After finishing the call with Heena, I looked up to find everyone around me staring. Amidst the curious glances converging, Jaehwan and Chanhyung, sitting next to me, spoke up.

"Wow, do you have to get permission from your girlfriend to drink?"

"Hey, it's not his girlfriend, it's his wife."

"Ah, right. Is that why he's getting permission?"

"Yeah, probably. But when you asked if Sarang was asleep? That's when I really felt the married man vibe... So this is what being a dad is like."

From that point on, conversations about me started flowing from here and there.

"Still, it's nice if he calls like that before drinking~ It makes me want to kill my boyfriend when he drinks without saying anything and gets caught."

"Are you talking about your boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Ah... sorry."

"Someone's already married, and what have I been doing all this time?"

"Studying, I guess."

"I hear some people do it all even while studying."

Though there was still some awkwardness, once the ice was broken, interactions with those sitting nearby became more active. No lame drinking games, just conversation focused on socializing.

I too ended up chatting with the two guys next to me, plus the cute bob-haired girl, Yujin, sitting across from me.

Since everyone had studied hard to get into this university, we talked about how we studied and various other trivial matters.

"So that unnie basically carried you here?"

"Sadly, I can't deny it. Without Heena, I couldn't have even dreamed of Seoyeon University."

"That's amazing... You're really incredible too, oppa. Having a child and still getting into this school after a gap year. Did you retake because your score was close last year?"

"Well... something like that."

Although my gap year story was certainly something to be proud of, I felt embarrassed to brag about it, so I glossed over it.

"This hyung's whole existence is a fraud, I'm telling you. A gorgeous girlfriend, a daughter, and both of them Seoyeon University students. Shit... I want to meet a girl too."

"Just go to a blind date. A senior told me during the MT. They said you'll get tons of offers after about a month. Group dates or blind dates."

"Fuck, I'm definitely going. Oh, but Yeonho hyung can't join, right?"

"Why would I join that?"

If I went to something like that, Heena would really kill me... No, not kill. She might lock me up at home.

"Then oppa probably won't come to drink often either, right?"

"Probably not? I have to go home and look after Sarang too. I can't let her suffer alone."

"Wow, a family man! So cool! Alright, cheers for Yeonho oppa!"

"Cheers!"

Yujin looked demure and mindful on the outside, but she was surprisingly extroverted, even leading the conversation and initiating toasts by standing up. She might be good as a class representative or something.

Anyway, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Since we had agreed beforehand that there would be no second round on the first day, it felt like we were partying even harder.

"It's enviable but... hyung must have it tough too. You'll need a lot of money to raise a child. And it's still a long way to graduation."

"That's right. Make sure you use protection well."

"How can I use protection when I don't even have a girlfriend?"

"Why do you need protection? This guy's face is a condom... Ow! You crazy bastard, you actually hit me!"

"Your ugly mug is no better than mine, you fucker!"

As Jaehwan and Chanhyung suddenly started an unsightly fight over who was uglier, Yujin sighed.

"Ugh~ Look at these ugly guys fighting. They're really not on Yeonho oppa's level."

"You said it. These ugly bastards."

"Hey, I'm at least better than Shin Jaehwan!"

"If you're not at oppa's level, just stay quiet."

"You heard them, you little shits!"

"This hyung is actually happy about that... I want to tell your wife about this, for real."

"Don't say such scary things."

Though I'm not exactly a top-tier handsome guy, I've often been told that I'm objectively above average and have a nice impression. Plus, Heena has helped me a lot with my hairstyle and fashion coordination.

Anyway, as the distance between us decreased, there was some bickering, but overall we had a pleasant time.

And after a few hours of mingling and building friendships with various classmates, even switching seats...

As it started getting dark outside, I stood up, thinking it might be time to head back. A few others were fidgeting, seeming like they wanted to go home too.

I could easily take the lead in this situation.

"Alright, everyone! Let's wrap it up here for today! I need to go look after Sarang!"

"Aw~ Isn't that too personal of a reason?"

"Whatever! We're splitting the bill evenly! Jinsung hyung was going to pay first, right?"

"Yeah~ Thanks for the card points~"

"Hyung will post the receipt in the group chat later, so send your share! One last cheers?!"

"""Cheers!!!"""

With my lead, everyone drained the last of their drinks. I finished my remaining beer and packed my things. I could send the money later before bed. I need to hurry back and feed our Sarang.

With that thought, I moved quickly with excited steps, leaving the chicken place along with the others.

Of course, we didn't part ways cleanly right after exiting. We gathered in front of the chicken place, chatting a bit more.

"Hyung! Are you coming tomorrow too?"

"I have to. But I won't be drinking again, you know?"

"Is gaming possible?"

"PC bang is out... Send me a message when you're playing. If the timing works out, I might log in from home."

"Oppa! I'll game with you too! I'm good at LoL!"

"Oh, Yujin~ What's your rank?"

"Diamond!"

"What?!"

"Shit... Hyung, don't be fooled. She's definitely a support."

"I only play top lane though?"

"We've got a psycho here..."

I ended up hearing some shocking facts too.

My God, a girl who got into Seoyeon University is also Diamond in LoL? Even when I was really into gaming, I barely touched that level. Now I wouldn't even come close. Maybe I should ask Yujin to carry me later... Would that upset Heena?

Anyway, even that small talk was coming to an end, and we were finally about to part ways.

But then.

"Huh? Hyung! Isn't that your wife over there?"

"What? Heena?"

As everyone was saying goodbye and looking forward to tomorrow, and I was about to say farewell to the three I had spent the most time with, Jaehwan suddenly blurted out something unexpected. His voice was quite loud, so everyone's attention turned in that direction.

I too slightly turned my head in the direction Jaehwan was pointing. Of course, I didn't believe him.

No, there's no way Heena would be here. He probably mistook someone else for her since he's only seen her in profile pictures.

"Hello."

But the one who walked up from afar and shyly greeted my classmates was indeed Heena.

In full makeup, which I hadn't seen much lately, and dressed up prettily.

She was in serious mode.

Author's Note:

It's been so long since I went to college that my memory is a bit hazy... I won't write about college life in too much detail! Just using a few new supporting characters and situations.

After all, this story will mainly focus on Yeonho, Heena, and Sarang!
