©️ Earthquake in My Head (2023)
=======
This is Seokjin's house
In the room where six computers were set up like a PC room, only the sound of typing filled the air.
Somi, who occupied the top seat in the center of the room, was surrounded by books and prints, and the screen was filled with various graphs and tables created using statistical programs.
Seokjin, wearing a headset on the other side, seemed to be absorbed in the game, coldly refusing Somi's request to rest, but in fact, he was constantly watching Somi's expression, trying to figure out when she would be able to work things out.
"Hey, should we take a break..?"
"No"
"No, my head isn't working right now... I think it's time to rest."
"No. It's only been an hour since you sat down again..?"
"..."
Somi, who was with me on my last US tour, started writing her graduation thesis, which she had been putting off, saying she needed to graduate before marriage. After a long time, Somi revisited her proposal and discovered numerous loopholes in it. She struggled to rediscover the purpose of her thesis. And finally, the research began...
With the help of her fellow women from the Women's Union, Somi completed interviews and a survey on "National Policy Supplements for Women's Career Interruptions," and was organizing her research data and drafting her thesis.
"Brother, don't you feel a bit hungry...?"
"I don't usually eat when I play games??"
"That's... I can't concentrate...! I think I need a refresher."
"Sometimes, you have to sit down for four or five hours at a time.
Stop talking and do more"
Seokjin coldly rejected Somi's offer, but the way he glanced over the monitor didn't look very comfortable.
"So pastI should have used it all at once... haha"
Seokjin, who was wearing a headset, was already next to me.
"Oh... you came to comfort me...?"
"No..? I came here because it seemed like you weren't using it at all...?"
Seokjin put both hands in his pockets, bent down, and looked closely at the monitor.
"Are you still writing the table of contents...? So when will you finish it..."
"No, the table of contents is something I write from time to time?!"
"So, how far have I written so far...?"
"Now, all I have to do is organize the results and put them in the table..."
Somi opened the tab containing the table, seemingly pleased to see Seokjin's interest in research after a long time. The monitor was filled with messy tables filled with numbers.
"Ugh... I feel like I'm being mentally attacked..."
I don't think I can help you directly...Seokjin covered the monitor with his hand while looking at the table, and Somi smiled bitterly.
"No, what did you say?
Eh...
That's true...ㅠㅜ"
When Somi sagged, Seokjin patted her shoulder as if he felt sorry for her.
"Because my future wife will have to support me later,
I want to help...
Since I can't help you directly, should we change our mood...?
How about going out for a walk and buying some late-night snacks?
Come to think of it, we just ate dinner and passed it by.. "
A smile appeared on Somi's face at Seokjin's words.
""Okay, okay~"
. . .
A couple wearing caps pulled down low were walking down the street.
In the man's hand was a shopping bag neatly packed with warm, wrapped bossam.
""I feel like I'll live a little bit after getting some fresh air."
Somi's appearance walking next to Seokjin looked much lighter.
"Still, Somi, you're amazing for writing a thesis.
Looking at it from the side, I don't think I could do something like that even if I died."
"Brother, what are you talking about?
If you just work hard, everything will work out.
"Where can you go with the mindset that you'll do well from the start?"
Seokjin smiled as Somi's words brought back old memories.
"Yeah.. I worked hard and it worked out~ That's right.. haha
So you eat this and get the strength to do everything...?
"I have to submit the draft to the professor by the day after tomorrow."
At Seokjin's words, Somi nodded, saying she understood. Seokjin felt proud of Somi, so he stroked her head.
"Okay~ I'll work really hard and finish it all overnight~!
Thank you, oppa~~ haha"
Seokjin added to Somi's words in a playful tone.
"With bare lips...?"
""Huh...?"
Somi looked around to make sure there was no one around and quickly kissed Seokjin on the cheek under the streetlight.
"Thank you, Seokjin~"
Somi's Bbaedo Seokjin's cheeks also turned red.
=======
I hope Somi's thesis ends well hahaha
I'll bring you the main story as soon as I get things sorted out...
