I Only Like You

Chapter 15: Passing By In Your Life

~ 1 ~

Amongst my group of friends, my dorm leader, Choi Eun-Yeong is the one who leads the happiest and most smooth-sailing life – ever since she was young, her parents loved her greatly and doted on her. Additionally, she was extremely rich, and that is why able to settle in Korea from another country. She was akin to a real-life Disney Princess.

Our dorm leader Eun-Yeong was extremely kind-hearted. During our time at University, there was a stray dog that frequently wandered around our university compound, and would definitely appear near the canteen whenever it was time for lunch. The dog had a keen eye for people, and had an automatic detection radar within its body – it never ever bothered other people, and only followed Eun-Yeong around. Our Eun-Yeong named it "Lover", and bought food for it every single day. Without this dog, she also owned a stray cat named "Boyfriend" who was also a permanent resident of our university compound.

There was a heavy downpour one night. As Eun-Yeong was worried about Lover and Boyfriend, she braved the rain and went out to look for them before managing to locate them in a drain. As the dorm rules prohibited the rearing of dogs, she shipped it back to her home in Indonesia. Choi Eun-Yeong's dad – a middle-aged entrepreneur with a family fortune worth millions – only had a single hobby: rearing dogs. He had a Welsh Corgi which he loved like a daughter. According to various sources, the Welsh Corgi had descended from the same ancestors as the beloved dog of the English Queen and was of royal blood. When Lover arrived, he managed to rob the Welsh Corgi of its innocence within three days. The middle-aged entrepreneur was so angry he nearly fainted, and scolded Lover, "You! Bastard! Dog!"

Eun-Yeong wasn't upset in the slightest, and even congratulated her dad, "You're going to become a grandfather soon!" The rest of us burst out in laughter. Before we reincarnated into our present lives, the rest of us probably selected the "Hard" Mode whilst our beloved dorm leader Eun-Yeong had probably selected the "Causes Dad to Suffer Hardship" Mode.

When we first entered University, all of us were still unfamiliar with each other. Only our Eun-Yeong was especially famous. This was because, on the third day of university, she got into a physical fight with the student sleeping in the lower bunk. To phrase it in more accurate terms, our Eun-Yeong basically beat her dorm mate up for unknown reasons. After the fight, she insisted on moving out of her dorm and into an apartment outside – however, she was unable to do so as our university rule required all freshmen to stay in dorms. Coincidentally, as our dorm had an extra space left, our Dorm Teacher directed her to move in with us.

At that time, my impression of her wasn't the best, and I felt that she was simply a rich and wilful person living off her parent's wealth. Thus, I only managed to grow closer to her during the holidays when both of us were the only ones left in the dorm. One day, after deciding that she was simply too bored, Eun-Yeong shut her computer and turned to me, "Y/N, let's go hang out at Gucci." I was tremendously surprised. At that time, I was like, why would someone who lived off her parents' wealth shop at Gucci?! If I recall correctly the later incident, it was a sweltering hot afternoon. Both of us were stuck in the congested fashion market, talking and shopping whilst trying the occasional piece that caught our eye, and subsequently laughing at each other's poor fashion taste.

I learned that she was a very kind person; she possessed an extremely pure and simple kindness, one that could only be acquired from having grown up in a carefully protected environment. She told me about an incident that happened when she was in High School. Then, there was a male student in her class whose results were extremely good. However, due to the poverty of his family, he was unable to hand in the school fees on time and was forced to quit schooling. When she learned about it, she was extremely surprised – after all, their school fees only amounted to 80000 ₩ per term, and a pair of shoes that she chose at random would definitely amount to more than 80000 ₩. As such, she immediately informed the teacher that she would sponsor the male student's school fees in the future.
