27. Christmas at the Nursery School (1)

Royal College of Art

It is also called the Royal College of Art in England.

It is the only art university in the world that only offers master’s and doctoral courses without undergraduate courses, and was famous for being the most expensive university in the world for foreigners.

Globally, it has always been ranked among the top five when discussing rankings of fine art or design universities.

There were RCA graduates, including Christopher Coyle, CEO of luxury brand Beverly, James Davison, CEO of Daison vacuum cleaners, and Ridley Pucott, a Hollywood film director.

In the peaceful RCA Sculpture department’s sculpture studio, a sharp, irritated scream from a woman was heard.

A slender tall woman with a bronze apron that matched her gorgeous blonde hair, who could be called a beauty by anyone, shouted at RCA faculty member Sam in front of her.

“Oh, my God! Do I have to go all the way to Korea?”

“Then what shall I do? Think of the amount of money that the Kimberly One in Korea gave to our department. You have to participate in the contest to shine, but shouldn’t you show your sincerity? If they said they would not attend, it was a nuance that there would be no more donations from this year.”

“no! Why is it me? There are a lot of other kids too!”

“A total of three people in our department are supposed to go, but Maria is the only one in the second grade. Everyone is taking a leave of absence or busy doing individual exhibitions. And above all, who spent the most money from the Kimberly One? Can you bring me the receipt?”

“Really mean. I know. Okay! Still, I am proud of the Royal College of Art, and the fact that I am participating in such a small country in the Orient is very true.”

“It’s a small country, but this time, look at the scale of the tournament. It seems that not only us, but also the winners of the Quebec Winter Carnival and the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan are all invited.”

“okay? Hey, can it be compared to our Royal College of Art? At this point, I will show you what the difference in rank is.”

“Anyway, I’ll pick two people from the first year to participate in the snow sculpture contest in Korea, so I’ll report it like that.”

After Sam had left, Maria sighed and sat down in her chair.

“What’s going on in Korea…”

To Maria, Korea was a country she had never heard of except that it was a divided country still at risk of war.

In the art world, Korea’s status was almost non-existent and its presence was insignificant, so there was even less interest in it.

However, I couldn’t help but pay attention to the murderous RCA’s tuition, and I couldn’t ignore the donations coming from outside because it was very important.

“It’s just like going on a tour once.”

Maria never thought of losing the sculpture contest.

After graduating from Italy’s Nuova Liceo Artistico (Nava Art High School), he graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan (Technical University of Milan), the most famous art university in Italy.

Since then, he has been proud of being a traditional elite artist who has worked hard and entered the Royal College of Art in England, which is considered one of the best in the world.

“Ha… what the hell is that guy’s money?”

But, again, art needs money.

Some conservative artists considered art very noble, and criticized and despised the money-bound artist. It was their idea that art, which was used as a means of making money rather than a pure art soul, would not contain a soul.

But art was never free from money. In fact, among the classical fine art works we know well during the Renaissance, there were many masterpieces made with financial support from wealthy patrons.

As the closest example, if Leonardo da Vinci hadn’t painted portraits to make money, the ‘Mona Lisa’ wouldn’t exist today.

Considering the already world-famous heinous RCA tuition and London’s expensive prices, external sponsorship was desperately needed.

“I’ll have to find out what’s delicious there later.”

Maria began to focus again on her unfinished work in front of her.

Christmas is coming.

Christmas had never been a special day for Kyuha.

There was no Christmas party at the temple where I worked when I was young, and even when I came out of the temple and worked at Songak Livestock, butchering and trimming, there were only men there, so it was a day off. He made it a rule that he never did anything for Christmas.

However, this Christmas, I was invited by Kang Anna, the director of the Blue Bird Nursery School, and I received a proposal to spend Christmas with the children at the nursery school, so I had a Christmas party for the first time.

I just wanted to share the children’s gift I bought with Winter the other day as a Christmas present.

Kkae Tok

Kyuha’s smartphone, which had been quiet, rang.

– Seol-ah: Oppa, how are you?

– Gyuha: Yes, you have to stand. It’s me, it’s my break, so I’m taking a good rest. How are you? I seem to see it a lot in advertisements these days, but it was nice to see.

-Seolah: Hey, I’m living happily these days. But how can oppa not contact you once that the project is over? (Angry Emoticon) I’m just really sad.

-Kyuha: Yes. i was bad Even during the break period, things keep popping up, so stop.

– Seolah: hahahahaha, I’m kidding oppa. (Smiley emoticon) By the way, when are you going to keep your promise to take me to volunteer work at the orphanage!?

Gyu-ha wondered if he had ever made such a promise, but he remembered what he had said in passing during filming in the past.

– Kyuha: Are you really going to be okay? If you come out once, you have to come out constantly.

– Seol-ah: Oppa, don’t you believe me?

– Kyuha: I see. Then I’ll tell the director. That’s great. Then I’ll come to this Christmas party. I’m going to have a Christmas party with the kids then, but there’s talk that there’s a bit of a shortage of hands.

– Seol-ah: Really? I didn’t have anything else to do, but it worked!! Thank you. brother. Please speak well.

Kyu-ha thought that she should take Seol-ah Jeong to the orphanage’s Christmas party, so she called Kang Anna, the director of the orphanage.

“Hello, Director. It’s not different…”

Kyu-ha asked director Anna Kang if Seol-ah Jeong could join them.

“Ho Ho. Of course it is possible if you introduce Kyuha. Let’s see each other then.”

“thank you. Director. See you soon.”

Christmas

It was also the most awaited day of the year for the children at the orphanage.

Kang Anna, director of the Blue Bird Nursery School, has blocked all show-off sponsorships and events from companies or foundations on Christmas from this year.

If companies sponsor and host events, a lot of money and enormous sponsorships will pour in, but Director Anna Kang knew that that was not what children really wanted.

For this Christmas party, we decided to have a simple Christmas party with ‘Woollim’, a regular volunteer group, and Gyuha, who was born here and became an actor.

The children were already full of anticipation and made all sorts of fuss, including hanging up socks in the room. In fact, I already knew that there was no Santa because children in daycare tend to mature earlier than their peers.

Director Kang Anna was heartbroken by the fact, but she tried to smile as she saw the Christmas atmosphere and the children who were so excited about receiving gifts.

Finally, a large van from the volunteer group ‘Woollim’ arrived at the playground of the orphanage, and president Choi Seon-hye and her daughter, Winter, got out of the car.

“Hello, Director Kang Anna. Your face has gotten better.”

“Hoho, our Chairman Choi has become younger too. How’s the winter sheep doing?”

“Yeah! Director. I’m sorry I haven’t been around a lot lately.”

“No. You must be busy with promotions these days, but I am grateful that you are constantly coming like this.”

As the three of them exchanged good wishes, a dark gray SUV came in from afar.

“Looks like Kyuha is here.”

It was nice to see Kyu-ha, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time since the Uijeongbu incident, so I approached the car one step at a time.

“brother!! Why are you… so late?”

Gyu-ha waved his hand and got out of the car, but someone got out of the seat next to him.

“hello. nice to see you. My name is Jeong Seol-ah.”

Jeong Seol-ah came wearing jeans that were easy to move in and a gray shirt that was a little bit boxy, but she was very tall and had a good shape, so it matched the mature atmosphere of Jeong Seol-ah very well.

Kyuha also greeted Director Kang Anna and President Choi Seon-hye.

“hello. Director, Chairman, long time no see.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kyuha. I always hear about it on TV and in the news. You did a good job this time too. No matter how many people around you praised Gyuha. Is there anything I’m proud of? Oh ho ho ho, it must be the main book.”

“Of course it has to be done. Did you have a good winter? ah! This is Jeong Seol-ah, who I talked about before, who worked with me. You have been asking me to volunteer at an orphanage for a long time, and now I have brought you.”

Director Kang Anna held out her hand to Jeong Seol-ah and asked for a handshake.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Seol-ah. My name is Anna Kang, the director of this place. I wish you well in the future.”

Jeong Seol-ah smiled and greeted politely.

“Hi, sir. I will work diligently so that I don’t become someone in the future.”

“You have to stand. This is Choi Seon-hye, chairman of the Orphanage Volunteer Group, Woollim.”

“Nice to meet you. Chairman Choi Seon-hye! It’s not enough, but please tell me a lot.”

“oh! You are much prettier than I saw in the drama~ You have good skin too! I wish you well too.”

“And you know this place well, right? Singer Midwinter, sung by our drama OST Lover. It’s been a while since I volunteered here.”

Winter was very concerned about Jeong Seol-ah, who suddenly appeared, but greeted her without revealing it on the outside.

“hello. It’s the first time I’ve actually met you. It is called midwinter.”

“Nice to meet you. In fact, Yeonmo is a huge fan! I listened to it several times a day.”

“go···. thank you.”

Winter was slightly taken aback when Jung Seol-ah showed a great crush on her with her eyes sparkling, but she kept a proud expression as much as possible, perhaps thinking that she was a target of check.

“Then, the children will be waiting for you, so shall we go quickly?”
