Future Hopes (1)
“What is this!”
“Does Teacher Woo think we’re elementary school students?”
“Do elementary school students do things like this these days?”
“I don’t know. I guess so.”
Among the children who were complaining, Yoo Hye-eun smiled brightly while holding a colored pencil.
“But it’s fun, right? It’s been a long time since I’ve done something like this.”
“Because it’s obvious what you should do!”
However, Yoo Hye-eun drew the ire of her friends. Yoo Hye-eun shrugged her shoulders and said,
“That’s because you guys usually live without thinking.”
“…Wow, goosebumps! That really sounded like Teacher Woo just now.”
“If you didn’t like it, why don’t you just live with that thought?”
“don’t do it!!”
Sunsunjin shouted with a face that was unclear whether it was annoyance or laughter.
Yoo Hye-eun burst out laughing when Soon-sun-jin started to shiver. Soon-sun-jin looked at the paper on the desk with a sad face.
[Let’s draw a picture of my future self]
What the heck is this… .
[Let’s imagine and draw what I will be doing in the future ^^]
The kindly added explanation made me even more annoyed.
Isn’t this a learning activity that Mr. Woo would do with his younger sibling who is much older? Is this also a learning activity? Anyway, it’s something we do at school, so it must be right.
Sunsunjin frowned as she looked at the paper on which nothing had been drawn.
Yes. I know what the teacher has been emphasizing. I also know why they make us follow the regular curriculum like a regular high school. I also know that life choices are not necessarily fixed in one way.
It’s a story that my father taught me over and over again. You never know where or how life will go. When I was young, I never thought you’d have such a good job.
But that’s that and this is this.
Woo Hee-jae even gave me colored pencils. Drawing alone is hard enough, so I’m supposed to color it too?
Do you really think we’re elementary school students?!
bang!
Sunsunjin groaned with her head on the desk.
“No, isn’t that enough for a career plan?”
“Don’t be upset because you can’t draw.”
“That’s not the problem! And I’m not ashamed of my drawings!”
“Be embarrassed.”
At the words of her childhood friend Lee Seung-yeon, Sun-sun Jin raised her head and pointed at Oh Hyeon-wook.
“He’s living shamelessly too, so why should I?!”
“… No, why me.”
“That’s true.”
“Why am I being stuck?”
“If I ask the principal to create an art class, will he create one for me?”
“I told you to take it out… .”
Oh Hyun-wook’s words were not conveyed to the two people.
The conversation between the childhood friends, who had been arguing for a few more minutes, ended with Seungyeon Lee pointing out Soonsunjin’s blank piece of paper.
Sunsunjin banged her head on the desk again.
“I called them in one by one and even gave them advice! What else do you want me to do here, really?”
“I had a consultation, so I need to check the results.”
Unlike Soon-sun-jin who was suffering, Seung-yeon Lee’s hands were unstoppable. Seung-yeon Lee nodded and admired the future Seung-yeon Lee she had drawn, as if she liked it.
“And Teacher Woo didn’t ask for anything grand. He just asked us to imagine ourselves in five years.”
“What is that…? They’re all going to become hunters anyway.”
“I’m going to college. In five years, I’ll probably be a college student, right?”
“Didn’t you graduate? Are you going to join the military? Can’t you postpone it by just going into the dungeon once a year?”
“No, I want to try backpacking. For about a year? Then I’m still a college student.”
“Just because you go to college doesn’t mean you can’t become a hunter….”
“But I’m a college student. My plan is not to be a hunter and a college student, but to be a college student and act as a hunter once a year.”
“uh….”
Soon-sun-jin looked at Seung-yeon Lee with a little surprise. She knew that Seung-yeon Lee was getting excited about the club and guild. She had also joined because she was excited. She had also heard that she would later create a guild that would be so great that it would make her aunt’s nose squelch. She even cheered her on.
Soon-sun Jin, who had been following her father around since she was young, knew Seung-yeon Lee’s skills the best. The father tried to be careful with his words in front of his daughter, but he couldn’t help but blurt out things.
‘That guy Seungyeon, to become a hunter… tsk.’
So when the guild started to complain, Sunsunjin felt relieved.
But, I didn’t think that Seungyeon Lee would give up on her dream of becoming a hunter so easily, given her stubbornness that I had seen so far… .
Soon-sun-jin took a quick peek at Seung-yeon Lee’s paper. The college senior that Seung-yeon Lee was thinking of. Studying with a pile of books on the desk… Why did he draw a soju bottle while studying?
Sunsunjin shook her head.
No. Rather, it is a good thing for Seungyeon Lee to live such an ordinary college life. Didn’t Professor Woo always emphasize that?
It’s not a good habit to underestimate yourself, but it’s better than overestimating yourself. If you don’t have the ability to properly assess your own abilities, it’s better to underestimate yourself. Your abilities are so mediocre that you can’t even properly clear a single Pixie dungeon.
‘… Did you really have to use Pixie Dungeon as an example?’
In fact, the students who failed to conquer the Pixie Dungeon shrugged their shoulders. Kang Tae-woo and Yoo Ji-eun, who did not know the details of the incident, just sat there blankly.
Anyway, even in Soonsunjin’s eyes, Seungyeon Lee’s skills were not good at all. The other friends thought the same thing, even though they didn’t say anything. Even though she suddenly ran away from home and did strange things, it was fortunate that Seungyeon Lee decided to create a guild rather than trying to become a hunter. Really.
Sunsunjin looked to the other side. Yuhyeun was drawing herself wearing a pure white gown.

“What? Are you a doctor?”
“Huh? No. A medical student.”
Sun-sun Jin nodded, recalling Yoo Hye-eun’s grades. She can go to medical school, right?
“But are you wearing a gown?”
“I’m not going to do the practical training.”
“is it….”
But a kid who wants to be a doctor would know better than she does. Soon-sun Jin saw Yoo Hye-eun five years later, wearing a white gown. To be honest, I can’t say that I drew it well, but her smiling face somehow resembled Yoo Hye-eun. No, since she drew Yoo Hye-eun, it’s true that they do look alike.
The other kids didn’t have the same convictions as Seungyeon Lee and Hyeeun Yoo, but they were doing something.
The wizards, Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo were not worth a reference. Choi Jin-woo was drawing himself wearing a weird star-patterned hat. It was a ridiculous shape that looked like something out of a comic book, but I could see what he was trying to draw. After all, he was a wizard.
Park Seo-hyun also drew a similar picture to Choi Jin-woo. The difference is that it is a bit more realistic than Choi Jin-woo’s.
“…I’m going to get revenge on that old woman who laughed at my grandfather’s magic.”
But he was muttering something ominous.
“But Ji-eun, what are you drawing?”
“ok?”
“Hunter? The teacher told me to leave Hunter out.”
“Ah. This isn’t a hunter!”
Yu Ji-eun handed over a half-finished piece of paper.
“Me learning spearmanship from Teacher Woo!”
“…window?”
“Didn’t you see Teacher Woo use the spear at the playground last time? It was really cool. I want to try something like that too.”
“hmm….”
Looking at that, I realized how much Teacher Woo had looked after us, but he saw it differently.
Sunsunjin cheered for Yujieun.
“Okay… do your best.”
“huh!”
If Yoo Ji-eun’s painting was unexpected but not surprising, Kang Tae-woo’s painting was unexpected and incredibly surprising.
“…Who is this?”
“Huh? My little sister.”
“Did you have a younger sister?”
“I went to America.”
“… …Real America?”
“There’s a fake America too? I heard it’s coming to Korea soon. Then we can live together.”
“… … .”
It seems like his family history is complicated… Soonsunjin gave up asking any more questions.
Han Eun-young also seemed to be living a college life similar to Lee Seung-yeon… .
Sunsunjin looked at Seo Hanseong’s picture with slightly expectant eyes. She had never heard Seo Hanseong talk about what he wanted to become. At best, he only said he wanted to be a hunter.
But Sunsunjin’s faith was betrayed.
“… … .”
“Huh? Why?”
“What are you doing? Lunch duty?”
“I’m serving meals.”
“…volunteer?”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to volunteer?”
“No, of course it’s a good thing, but….”
Seo Han-seong spoke with a face that had become more mature recently.
“I’m going to try to put it into practice, starting with small things.”
“… … .”
Is that the right thing to say here?
I don’t know… Soonsunjin moved away from Seohanseong a little.
“And you can also manage your specs.”
“…What are you going to do?”
“You have to find a good job.”
“Getting a job? Aren’t you trying to become a hunter?”
“Do that too.”
Do you need to fill up volunteer hours to join a good guild these days?
Sunsunjin tilted her head. The Master didn’t say anything like that.
‘You can find another job that suits your aptitude.’
I remember what Woo Hee-jae said in the counseling room.
Something else? Something else. Now?
Im Ji-seon said this while watching Soon-sun-jin awaken at a young age and receive basic training from her father.
‘Oh my goodness, Soonjin! If you don’t have any plans for what you want to do when you grow up, do you want to join my guild? My sister has already created a guild, so if Soonjin joins too…’
‘What are you doing with the child?’
‘Sir! But look at Sunjin. She’s definitely going to grow up to be a big girl. I’m just putting some spit on her in advance.’
‘Are you sure you’ll take good care of the money?’
‘Of course! What do you think of me? Sunjin, what do you think your aunt will do for you?’
‘If the child wants to do it, he will do it.’
‘Soonjin, are you sure you want to come to my sister’s guild?’
Soon-sun Jin also knows that Im Ji-seon is not talking nonsense. The conditions have become more specific each year, making it difficult to say that she is simply talking to her nephew’s friend.
Does that mean I’m a coveted talent?
For Soon-sun Jin, Im-seon’s words became a source of confidence. So much so that she started calling Im-seon Master.
So, Sunsunjin has never imagined a future for herself that doesn’t involve working at Yimiseon’s guild, Dasun.
Even when I entered the model school, I asked Im Ji-seon.
‘Then, can I join the guild right after graduating from that school?’
‘What if Sunjin wants it?’
There’s no way I wouldn’t want it.
If there was one reason that made Soonsunjin hesitate, it was Lee Seungyeon. It would be nice if they could enter the multi-election together, but…
That’s why I thought it was good when Seungyeon Lee started to bring heat to the guild.
“… … .”
The hunter said no.
But that doesn’t mean I want to go to college like other kids.
In the end, Sunsunjin was unable to draw anything until Wooheejae returned and took the paper away.
I felt sorry for making my friends notice for no reason. Soonsunjin sat still at her desk. Her eyes stung. She knew it wasn’t something to cry about, but people’s hearts weren’t as good as she thought.
Woo Hee-jae checked the other children’s drawings.
“… What on earth did Yu Ji-eun draw?”
Woo Hee-jae, who was mumbling in embarrassment at Yoo Ji-eun’s drawing, said to Sun-sun Jin.
“Soon-soon-jin?”
“…sorry.”
“what?”
“… …I didn’t do anything.”
“Things like that happen, too.”
“… … .”
Sunsunjin raised her head. She thought he would act bluntly like usual or scold her for not being able to do even one thing, but Wooheejae was smiling gently.
“It’s hard to figure out what you want to do. Other kids are weird.”
