"Gah. ”

"Squeak—"

The doors of the bus open.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, none of the passengers stood up.

The driver in the driver's seat looked back in surprise and shouted in a loud voice: "The temple cave sanctuary has arrived! Who pressed it just now?"

"Ah, yes!"

The girl who was wearing headphones and realized that she had arrived at the station quickly ripped off the headphones on one side, blushed slightly, and bowed and apologized to the passengers on the bus who looked back: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Putting her schoolbag back on her back, the girl ran out of the car in a hurry.

The driver shook his head, and was just about to close the car door, when a slightly hurried clear voice came: "Uncle, please wait!"

Everyone in the car turned their heads to look again, only to see a teenager dragging a suitcase and wearing a peaked cap smiled embarrassedly at everyone, and after bowing his head, he also got out of the car.

"Two people together?"

The driver muttered, looked through the rearview mirror, and the young man who got out of the car had already pulled his luggage and followed the girl step by step......

Putting the headphones back on, the girl seems to have entered her own world again.

She walked along the boulevard sprinkled with spots of light in the afternoon, her steps were brisk, and she hummed an unknown tune in her mouth, oblivious to the tall figure that slowly followed her behind her.

Along the way, many passers-by who looked like tourists passed by the two of them.

Located in the center of Jeonju, Jeongdong Shrine is a Western-style building with a history of nearly 100 years, and is known as "the largest and oldest historical building in Jeollabuk-do and South-do provinces."

About 5 minutes away from Jeongdong Shrine is the Gyeonggijeon Hall, an older historical site that was originally built to house the remains of the Emperor of the Joseon Dynasty, and later placed portraits of the emperors of the Joseon Dynasty, including King Yeongjo, making it one of the must-see spots in Jeonju.

To put it simply, this area is a tourist scenic spot.

This girl doesn't stay at home on vacation, why is she here?

The boy followed behind from a distance, looking at the petite back wearing headphones in front of him with some doubt.

You can't live in Jeonju for so many years and still have the interest to come and play, right?

"Oh, Taeyeon, here, here!"

Soon, the teenager's question was answered.

Looking at the high school girls in the distance who surrounded the girl like a flock of chirping birds, the teenager stood in the shade of a big tree with his suitcase and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He seemed a little embarrassed to see the girl being embraced, and he also saw the girl look down and put away the headphone cable, and then carefully glance at the little movement of her friends.

Well, it doesn't seem to be very sociable, but it's very similar to myself. But anyway, there are so many classmates or friends around who remember her, which is worth celebrating.

Seven or eight teenage girls, plus a girl who didn't seem to like to talk much, broke out into a more lively movement than before, and got together, laughing and laughing, attracting the attention of many people.

The teenager saw that most of them were wearing school uniforms similar to those of the girls, and he guessed that maybe it was a holiday party of the same class.

However, it didn't take long for the young man who was still following a group of girls in a leisurely mood to gradually change the expression on his face.

He realized that his initial judgment did not seem to be correct.

Except for the enthusiasm of the initial welcome, the girl never spoke to anyone else after that, and walked alone with her head slightly bowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and before she knew it, she fell at the back of the army, and a single figure was in stark contrast to the conversation and laughter in front, and she seemed lonely.

"Did someone arrest him to make up the numbers?"

Muttering to himself, the young man frowned and stared at the petite back of the man in front of him who was so bored that he began to kick the pebbles on the ground, and his expression faintly revealed a touch of helplessness.

In fact, he could see that those girls also wanted to talk to girls at first, but it may be that this girl always laughed at other people's words and did not answer, and people gradually forgot about her.

"I don't know who this character looks like......

Pursing his lips, the boy looked up at the sun overhead.

It depends on the situation, for a while these girls can't have enough fun, dragging their luggage, always following is not a way, otherwise, first see if they have a specific destination, and then find a place to sit down? Even if you lose it, it doesn't matter, since you can meet it once, you can also meet it a second time, anyway, the summer vacation has just begun, and after you find a place to live, you will have a lot of free time.

As a result, at this moment, the boy suddenly saw the girl walking not far in front of him stop, and looked at several stalls with interest with other girls.

Yes, together.

This was the first time in the journey that the boy had seen the girl smile so heartily, and he and his companions leaned down and walked sideways to look at the stalls.

What's going on? This kind of interest that pops up in the cold?

Prompted by curiosity, the boy couldn't help but quietly approach, and only then did he see clearly what the goods sold on the stall were.

Most of them are folk crafts related to the area, such as wedding puppets wearing solemn hanbok, woodcuts, masks, kites, and snail lacquerware.

Is this the original orientation?

In the boy's surprise and a faint smile, he saw that the girl showed an unexpectedly strong love for these traditional Korean crafts on the stall.

Once, the girl really squatted down and patiently took a mask and talked to the stall owner about the price.

It's a pity that it shouldn't have been discussed.

The girl finally put down the mask with a reluctant face and left with her companions.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"Hmm, student, do you like this 'two classes' mask too? It seems that I can get more in the future. ”

"'Two Shifts' Mask?"

Seeing that the boy was holding the mask that the girl had asked about the price before, and looking like a tourist, the stall owner thought that he didn't know the origin of the mask, but simply asked, so he busily sold it, saying, "This is one of the 'river back masks'." Kamen Dance knows, right? That's what she wears. The most representative of them is the 'Liangban' mask, which means the children of the nobility in ancient Korea. ”

After listening to the stall owner's introduction, the young man looked thoughtfully at the wooden mask in his hand.

The soft lines depict grotesque and exaggerated facial features, which at first glance have a somewhat intimidating feeling.

"Hahoe Masquerade", also known as "Pyeongsan Masque", is one of Korea's national treasures, and is often used in festival masquerade dance performances, with a total of 11 out of 10 types, and the authentic items are collected in the National Museum of Korea. It is said that there were originally 14 Kawai masks, and 3 of them have been lost.

The boy didn't know much about the Hehui mask, so he didn't look too closely at the mask called "Two Classes", lowered his head and took out his wallet, and repeated the question just now: "How much is this?"

The stall owner immediately smiled, "3,000 yuan is enough!"

After paying the money and putting the mask in his backpack, the boy quickened his pace to find the girl's whereabouts.

Fortunately, he didn't have a long delay, and the girls didn't go far, and they were found at the door of an Internet café.

"Hey, Taeyeon, let's go in together!"

"But, but ......"

"Hey, what's the matter with being underage? Just ask the OPPA at the counter. ”

In the midst of tugging, the teenager standing in the distance watched amusefully as the girl was taken into the Internet café by her companions.

At their age, it is the time to play hard, and the teenager knows that many of his classmates like to go to Internet cafes, but he didn't expect that the girls' private activities are also like this?

didn't think much about it, the boy also dragged his suitcase into this Internet café, and it happened that he was tired after following him for a long time.

"Welcome. ”

Pushing open the door and first determining where the girls were sitting with his gaze, the boy made a bold move.

He deposited his suitcase and backpack on the counter, took off his cap, and sat down in the empty seat next to the girl.

Sure enough, the girl, whose attention was attracted by her companions, didn't notice his presence at all.

"Taeyeon, I'll teach you how to apply for an MSN account. I'm telling you, it's fun, it's like text messaging, but sometimes you can meet some new people online. ”

"But I don't have time to ......"

"Hey, it doesn't take too long to apply. By the way, you just said that you are going to go to cram school in the summer?"

"Hmm...... Hmmm!"

Cram school?

Someone sitting next door immediately became focused.

"Where is the cram school? Is there an Ansan? What do you teach? Didn't you always ask a tutor to learn to sing before?"

"It's not Ansan's...... It's over here, not far from my house. This cram school not only teaches vocal music, but also tutors some cultural classes. You know that...... I don't usually get good grades. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

The boy thought for a moment.

"Then don't you have time to come out and play after that......? Obviously, before the holiday, everyone made an appointment to come out to meet often. ”

"That's it...... I'm sorry. ”

"Hey, what's the matter. But in that case, I'm going to help you apply for an MSN account as soon as possible, and you have a computer at home, right? ”

"Ah......h

The girls stayed in the Internet café for about an hour, and it wasn't until they got up to leave that the teenager sitting next to the girl let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, his expression moved.

"Cram school...... And MSN?"

The boy's eyes fell on the old computer in front of him, which still had a large headmonitor.

When the girl in front of her applied for an MSN account, he witnessed the whole process from the side.
