Scotland would probably be quite a pleasant country. Although Gaeul, didn't know in the future he would face various unexpected things. At least that was the intuition she could feel. Gaeul believes in her intuition because while she doesn't just think rationally, she also relies on her keen intuition. So far her intuition has helped her in her daily work and this time, it seemed like her intuition wanted to show her that she was about to face a big unexpected thing. Although Gaeul herself didn't know the exact details but she believed that sooner or later, it would definitely happen to her. Her decision to come to Scotland seemed like it would show her something that would have a big impact on her life.
The haggis that was served on her plate was now just a little bit left. Gaeul enjoyed the dish quite a lot. Either because she was too hungry or because she was bored with her activities, she felt that eating a plate of Haggis was much better than listening to the lecturer in the classroom.
Skipping class was not a bad choice for him. He would never feel like he missed out even if he skipped class today. Today's lecturer's explanation was too wordy, he already knew and understood the material taught. Besides, the explanation given by the lecturer sounded too conservative. Not that, Gaeul felt she wanted to disrespect her own lecturer but she felt, her lecturer seemed too patronizing. Honestly, this conventional learning method made Gaeul feel bored quickly. She didn't want to be arrogant and feel smarter, it was just that she tended to get bored easily. After all, what was explained by the lecturer, she had already learned together with Uncle Yeoreum before. Uncle Yeoreum who was her mother's younger brother was much better at teaching her. For Gaeul Uncle Yeoreum was a person she respected a lot and probably the best teacher she had.
After finishing her meal, Gaeul decided to go to the library. As she passed by the garden her eyes accidentally caught an interesting object. She saw a young man around her age holding a guitar. At first she just wanted to pass by the boy but seeing the boy drop his sheet music made, Gaeul moved to help him.
After successfully collecting the boy's sheet music. Gaeul immediately gave the sheet that she had collected to him.
The boy smiled widely. He thanked Gaeul after feeling helped he offered Gaeul to go to the cafe with him.

The Cranachan served in front of Gaeul was almost finished. She glanced secretly at the boy in front of her. Handsome was the right word to describe the boy. His brown hair and eyes were perfect. His face itself was very cute. His skin had an ivory white color. His body itself was probably around 180 cm tall with a relatively slender shape. The prominent characteristic of the boy was his elf-like ears.
“Where are you from by the way? I have a feeling that we are from the same country,” guessed the boy filled with confidence.
Gaeul smiled slightly. “Looks like you're good at guessing. By the way, can I know your name first? When you brought me to this cafe, you didn't introduce yourself.”
The boy laughed at Gaeul's words. He had forgotten to introduce himself because he was too excited about getting to know new people. “Na Helian is my name, what's yours?” Helian extended her hand to Gaeul inviting her to shake hands.
Gaeul welcomed the hand and introduced herself back, “Kim Gaeul. We're from the same country, aren't we?”
Helian smiled widely. “Ah what a coincidence, I met a friend who is from the same country as me. It feels really good. I hope we can become close soon because I feel that I get along well with you,” she said confidently.
“Yes, I hope so. Are you sorry half-breed?” asked Gaeul cautiously.
Helian nodded. “Yes. You're right. I'm a half-breed, my father is South Korean while my mother is English,” Helian replied kindly.
“Hm I see.” Gaeul looked back at Helian with amazement. Gaeul had to admit that Helian did have unique features inherited from both her parents. But not only that, Gaeul herself felt that Helian had a unique charm like that of a playboy.
“Hey... hey. I guess you must have mixed ancestry too. It feels like you have a typical Japanese face. Do you have Japanese blood in your family?” Helian looked very excited.
Hearing Helian speak like that made Gaeul smile slightly. It was common for her to be mistaken for a Japanese descendant or even a native Japanese because her face did have typical Japanese features. Even though he himself did not have such descendants and both his parents were originally from South Korea.
“Ah sorry unfortunately your guess is wrong. Both my parents are originally from South Korea but there are many people who often mistake me for Japanese,” Gaeul replied.
“Apparently so. Hahaha... I guess I'm not very good at guessing people. Sorry,” he said sincerely.
Gaeul replied with a smile.
“Gaeul may I ask you a question?” Helian looked at Gaeul waiting for approval from the boy in front of her.
“Go ahead, just ask me what you want to know from me,” Gaeul replied with a cheerful sounding voice.
“Then what's the reason you came here to study? I think you must have an interesting story for you to be here.”
“The reason I came here was simply because I felt that Scotland would give me a feeling of fulfillment. Besides, I came here because Scotland happened to be one of the countries that offered me a scholarship. I guess it's a match made in heaven,” Gaeul replied.
Helian opened her mouth wide. She clapped her hands for Gaeul. “Wow, you got a scholarship. You must be very smart. I admire you.”
Gaeul smiled wryly as Helian's words sounded like she was being sarcastic. “Do you have any other words I can hear other than that classic one?”
“You took offense to my words just now? Sorry if I was insensitive. I really didn't mean to patronize you, perhaps?” Helian wasn't sure what to say with his mouth at the moment. Somehow the words he was spitting out seemed so ambiguous.
“Are you sure? Even though just by referring to your last word, you must have clearly confirmed to me that your words were indeed true,” Gaeul teased.
“I didn't expect you to go this far.” Helian who realized that Gaeul was trying to tease her felt a little annoyed.
