This Is My Second Relationship With My Wife

Chapter 15

15 – Episode 15

“The exam begins.”

In the tense classroom, the teacher handed out the test papers with the sound of the bell, and we prayed that we would do well and took the test with our own efforts.

“The exam is over. Pass your OMR from the back.”

On the way home after the exam,

“I wonder if Seoah did well…”

I wanted to see Seoah, but before the exam, Seoah said this to all of us.

“Let’s not meet during our exam period and focus on studying.”

“Shouldn’t we meet and check on things in the middle?”

I wanted to meet even just a little bit, so I said that, but

“No, if we do that, it’ll take even longer, I’m sorry”

Seoa said that we should focus on studying now

“No, why are you sorry? I understand.”

So, during the exam period, we only exchanged glances and worked hard on exams for each other

Of course, that doesn’t mean we didn’t meet at all

“Seoa”

“Ji… Jihoon!?”

“I’ll give you this.”

“This is… coffee?”

“Yeah, I’ll go.”

“Just… wait!”

Of course, I only gave her coffee as a way of cheering her up, so it should be fine

And so, we

“It’s over!!!!”

“Wow!!”

“Now!! We can play games!!”

“Phew, you all did well, kids.”

Our exams were over. Although the grades hadn’t come out yet, I was able to position myself in the slightly higher score range with an average of 87 points in the preliminary marking results.

“Hey! The one who suffered the most is Seo-aji! You taught this guy, didn’t you?”

Seok-ho said, hitting me on the back in joy that the exam was over.

“Yeah~ It was tough, to the point where I have to teach him for the next exam too~”

“hahahahaha, did you hear that? Lucky you, huh?”

“Ah! What are you saying?”

I covered Seok-ho’s mouth and smiled at Seo-aji.

“So, we’re going on a trip tomorrow on the weekend, right?”

“Yeah, so make sure you’re properly prepared by tomorrow.”

“Why do we need preparations for going to the zoo?”

“It’s just a figure of speech.”

Seo-hyun and Seo-aji laughed at our conversation, and we decided on the meeting place for tomorrow.

“How about the subway station? We’re going there anyway.”

“Oh, our dad will drive us there.”

“Oh… Dad!?”

“Oh, is your dad not busy? He’s usually busy.”

Seok-ho, my long-time friend, was surprised not by the fact that our dad would drive us, but by the fact that he wasn’t busy.

Seo-aji, for some reason, became nervous.

“Well… Maybe it’s a hassle to get the tickets…”

Park Seo-hyun said, but I couldn’t back down.

“Nah, it’s fine. Dad even thanked me for teaching him how to study this time.”

“If you say so…”

I looked at Seoa.

If Seoa had suggested going to the zoo just the two of us, she probably wouldn’t have been able to go. That’s why I came up with a plan where we could use everything in the zoo, including transportation, for free. Of course, there was also the effort to persuade Dad.

“I’m excited…!”

Looking at Seoa’s face, I could see that my hard work had paid off.

“Great, then let’s meet at the Nobel Station tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Saying goodbye to my friends and returning home, I sat in a chair and expressed my joy. Of course, there was also the joy of making memories with Seoa, but even though there were two other people involved, going far away with Seoa was exciting because it was my first time as a high school student.

“What should I wear tomorrow?!”

But such joy was fleeting, and I had to prepare firmly for tomorrow.

“I don’t know how Seoa will see me, but it’s hard for a person’s impression to change.”

Last time she came to our house, she saw my treasures… but when I go outside, I have to dress up as an ordinary person.

“I wonder what’s in the closet.”

I opened the closet and saw that there was nothing but black t-shirts.

“…I curse my past self.”

That’s how I summoned my mom and looked for clothes to wear tomorrow.

“Oh my, our son has changed so much since he got a girlfriend.”

“No… I said no.”

“hehehe, alright, understood. Ah! How about this?”

“Oh, it’s simple yet nice.”

With my mother’s assistance, I quickly chose an outfit and gathered water, side dishes, and towels, just in case there were any other tasks to attend to.

“Now I should go to bed.”

To calm down my racing heart, I lay down on the bed.

…

In the silence of my room, I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about the first date I had with Seo-a in the future…

Both of us were busy with work, so we didn’t have much time for dating. We had to keep in touch from a distance.

Seo-a seemed very excited about meeting me for the first time, as she sent me messages every 5 minutes the night before.

“I’m so excited, aren’t you?”

“Yes, let’s go quickly.”

Until then, we still used formal language, but later she told me she felt embarrassed about it.

The first place we went together was none other than the zoo.

“Wow!”

“Let’s take it slow.”

“Yes.”

Why did we go to the zoo… I don’t know, we just ended up there without thinking.

“This is my first time coming to a place like this.”

“The zoo?”

“Yeah, I’ve never been to a place like this because I’ve always been too busy.”

That’s what Seo-ah said at the time, but it was probably because she didn’t have the money and couldn’t see people walking around with such happy expressions.

“Shall we go in?”

“Yeah.”

As we entered, I felt like I was watching Seo-ah more than the animals we were there to see.

“Wow!! I’ve never seen a tiger before. It’s so chubby up close, hahahaha.”

“Wow, Jihoon, look over there, it’s a flamingo!”

Seo-ah wandered around like a little child, excitedly looking at various animals.

“Sorry, I think I’m a bit too excited.”

“No, it’s okay.”

There was a moment when she got so excited that I almost got left behind, but I thought it was a good idea to bring her here, where she didn’t care about anything, and followed her.

“I had a great time today.”

“Me too.”

“Um…next time, I’ll find a place for us to go on a date together.”

I nodded in agreement.

“Thank you. Actually, I’ve never been to a place like this…maybe other places too.”

Seo-ah held my hand and said,

“Places that used to mean nothing to me have become enjoyable because of you, and now I regret not coming here before.”

“Then, if you could have gone back in time, would you have come?”

After thinking for a moment, she replied,

“No, being with you and that first moment made me happy… I want to go with you even if we go back in time.”

“Alright everyone, gather around!”

“Hello!”

“It’s been a while, sir.”

“Oh, Seokho, everyone, get in.”

The next morning, we gathered at the agreed-upon location and set off for the zoo.

“You guys are going to have fun for a long time, right? I’ll come around one afternoon, so enjoy yourselves.”

“Thank you, Dad. Jihun and I will have a great time.”

“Oh, really? You’re Seo-a? Just as my wife said, you’re really pretty. hahahahaha.”

“Dad…”

I put Seokho in the front seat and sat in the back.

“Seokho, are you still prone to motion sickness?”

“hahahahaha… Yes, sir.”

Seokho always gets motion sickness, so I put him in the front seat. But I’m so happy.

“Seokho, are you okay?”

“Well, I managed to endure for another four hours in that state.”

Seoa must be sitting next to me.

We usually sit together during class trips, but back then, we were sitting apart. However, in the car, no matter how big it was, we had to sit close together, so I sat very close to Seoa.

“Seoa, what do you want to see when we get there? I want to see… hmm… elephants! I want to see elephants.”

What was even more surprising was that Park Seo-hyun seemed more excited than Seo-a.

I thought Seo-a would be more thrilled.

“Oh yeah? Well, um… flamingos, maybe?”

“What do you want to see, Ji-hoon?”

“Me?”

Honestly, the reason for going to the zoo was simply to create memories for Seo-a.

“I… want to see the red pandas.”

“Wow! They must be cute. I’ve seen them in pictures!”

While the two of them chattered, I occasionally checked on Seok-ho’s condition and arrived running like that.

“We’re here.”

“Ugh… I’m dying.”
