BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36 - Before The Exam
Joon-won turned around and noticed the boss, Gim Da, walking out. He nodded and answered the question. "Yes, boss. The exam is tomorrow."
"Do your best. Are you going back home for holidays after it?"
Joon-won shook his head, and Gim Da sighed in relief. He didn\'t want to have any more vacancies in shifts, especially when he hired him only a week ago. He looked at Seonu and asked, "Seonu, how is your preparation for the national exam going on and which university are you going to apply to?"
Seonu\'s exams were also over and he was out of high school. Every high schooler had to give a national wide exam for entrance into a good university at the end of their third year. Seonu was one of the better studying kids he saw and wanted to know what his future plan was. The exam was also only a few weeks away and they had to submit preferred universities.
"I kept the Arios city of science as my first preference. I want to continue studying science, while also being here at home and hopefully becoming a scientist." his answer shocked Gim Da a little. Arios science university isn\'t the best university for the subject and there were a handful of better universities out there in the country. He just nodded and went back after wishing Joon-won good luck in his exams.
Joon-won talked with Seonu for a while and continued towards his house. Entering the house, he kept the costume they gave on his bed and started to cook some food for himself. He was very hungry and ate nothing after lunch. Cooking himself a nice cut of meat, he enjoyed the tasty dinner before sitting on the couch.
His phone rang, and it was Kim Min-Seok. Picking up the phone, he heard his father on the other side asking if he should come over for the final exam. Kim Joon-won quickly denied it. He was not ready to meet his \'father\' and didn\'t want to make him travel for a small thing.
He said that he will send a video clip of his parts for them to see. He asked about Yun-hee and the answer was the same. She was still coming back late from her school and the national exam was only a few weeks away. If she didn\'t start studying seriously, then her results would be terrible.
Reassuring Min-Seok, Joon-won, cut the call and threw it on the couch. He didn\'t know what to do. Ge couldn\'t talk to a teenager who was didn\'t want to hear from him because of things done by the original Joon-won. After thinking for a while, he decided to ask Jung-hwa to have a look at his sister and what she was up to.
He didn\'t want to ask but as things were not becoming normal, he had to take an outsider\'s help. This summer was important, and he didn\'t want to go back early. He decided to ask her after she goes to the town next week.
Deciding on the course of action, he went to his room and jumped on the bed. Keeping an alarm for 6 in the morning for his daily jog, he went to sleep.
As the sunrise and sunlight fell on his face from the window, he stopped the noisy alarm and woke up. Going to the bathroom for a quick freshen up and changing clothes, he wore headphones he found in a drawer. Connecting the wireless headphones to the phone, he searched for his favorite type of music. Thus was the first time after coming to the world he is listening to music
As he walked down the stairs, he finally decided on some pop music and started to jog through the streets. He liked the music and bobbed his head in rhythm, unconsciously. This type of music was not there back in the kingdom, and listening to something new and energetic was awesome, making him instantly fall in love.
He jogged longer with the music accompanying him as he enjoyed the slightly cold weather as his body generated heat from the exercise. He could feel his body slowly taking a better shape, and the daily workout was working out.
After a nice 45 minute jog, he came back home and did a quick 30 minutes exercise to build a few muscles. Completing his daily dose of jog and workout, he jumped into a hot bath and relaxed a little. His body was not in pain as it did at the beginning because of the workout.
After wearing some nice clothes, he went right into the kitchen and cooked himself a nice breakfast with the leftover meat he had from last night. After washing the dishes, he noticed it was only 8 and sat on the couch with the phone. Their exam would start at 10:30 and it was enough if he would be there by 9:30 or 10. He didn\'t forget to remove the clothes he hanged up the day before and fold them into the closets.
Time flew by and as it was about time for him to start moving. He didn\'t want to change into a costume and walk to the university in a high school uniform like an idiot as there were changing rooms backstage. Packing the costume into a bag, he walked out of the house and towards the university.
He still had the headphones on him as he walked with the music in his ears. He was addicted to music and felt detached from the outside world. After reaching the university entrance, he texted Jung-hwa and got an immediate reply that she was already inside watching the Star Batch drama.
He didn\'t want to go in and watch the drama, so he simply asked to text him when everyone would meet backstage. After getting her approval, he sat on a nearby bench, enjoying the sun and music in peace, until he felt a tap on his shoulder.
