This place, with familiar faces laughing, talking and running around, was none other than our class. Yoon Dong-gun greets him with his usual bossy attitude, and Kim Go-eun tries hard to win his favor. Surely it would just be an ordinary day like any other day.

    “Ah, is Jiwoon here? Would you like to sit down?”

    With the words of someone sitting by the window, a tremendous sense of pressure began to wash over me. The air became heavy, and at the same time, it felt like I was the only one being sucked into a dark, dark world.

    In this scene where everyone was chatting as usual, it felt like I and Park Ha-eun were the only ones transported to another space.

    “…Let’s say it in words, Park Ha-eun.”

    “Woong? Are you going to say it with words?”

    “No, let’s be real?”

    “?”

    Park Ha-eun was tilting her head, as if she was pretending not to know what I was saying, or if she really didn’t know my intention. If that wasn’t acting, it meant that this power was being used instinctively without even realizing it. Actually, that is scarier.

    Grumble-

    I swallowed dryly out of nervousness, but had no choice but to sit down in my seat. Park Ha-eun had already moved next to me a long time ago, and now we were so close that if we moved just a little, our shoulders would touch.

    “Ji-woon.”

    “I’m listening.”

    “What do you think a friend is?”

    She was the main heroine who spouted random words. First of all, a friend roughly means someone who is close, but even if Park Ha-eun is an idiot, wouldn’t he want her to answer with that meaning?

    Still, I had no choice but to take out my smartphone and search for ‘friend’. In times like this, the best thing to do was to just pretend not to notice anything, pretend not to know anything, and answer like an innocent child.

    “A friend is someone you have been with for a long time and have a strong affection for. It says on Kkeumwiki.”

    “Umm… I see?”

    “But why is that suddenly happening?”

    “Oh, it’s nothing else…”

    The life began to drain from Park Ha-eun’s eyes. If I were to face this in real time, there would be one of two outcomes.

    Either I die, or someone else dies.

    Of course in this situation…

    “I wonder if the world has become okay for me to kiss my friend on the cheek without my knowledge.”

    Normally I would die, though.

    * * *

    “Now, the trial will begin now.”

    As time passed and after school, another ordeal began to befall me, who had barely managed to prevent Park Ha-eun from awakening. This was because Hongseol, whom I had not been able to meet in person recently due to student council work, invited me to the student council room, saying she really wanted to meet me.

    Then, as soon as you open the door and sit down, the trial declaration begins. Hongseol, wearing glasses, uploaded a kissing photo of himself and Lee Yeji on his smartphone screen and submitted it to the trial as evidence.

    “Has the defendant ever kissed this bitch?”

    “It’s not a kiss, it’s a cheek kiss. And not this bitch, but this one.”

    “Don’t say anything trivial, just tell me if it’s true.”

    “Uh… As you can see, it’s true, right?”

    I felt like I should explain the circumstances leading up to this, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that I decided to skip it for now. But why am I suddenly on trial? Shouldn’t we think about that first?

    “Then the second one. Does the defendant have a relationship with this bitch that is more than just friends?”

    “No.”

    “Then the defendant doesn’t seem to have any doubts about kissing a woman who is his friend. This is deeply deplorable, but we will give it some consideration at the discretion of the judge and jury.”

    “No, it’s not just a kiss like you know, it’s all there for a reason…”

    “Quiet. Now it is time for the judge to speak. Please speak later.”

    What kind of situational drama is this? For your information, the juror was Park Ha-eun, who was sitting in the corner and quietly glaring at me. I tried to talk to him as much as possible to relieve what was bothering him, but in the end, the problem in his eyes never came back.

    Anyway, now it’s judgment time. Even if the ruling is made anyway, will there be any difference in something that is no different from these children’s play? So, I was relaxing as much as I could, when suddenly someone grabbed my arms from behind.

    At the same time, the soft texture begins to ravage me. I’m sure there’s only one person in the world who owns this Big Marshmallow Mamma bag.

    “Bar, Park Ha-eun…!?”

    “Judgment is imprisonment. The defendant should not move hastily and cause an unfortunate situation that would increase the punishment.”

    “No, what is this… Wow..!!?”

    The moment she was captured, Hongseol came toward me with great strides and began to stick out her face. Meanwhile, her pink lips, which seemed to have been applied with lip balm, were particularly vibrant and stood out.

    Of course, it was so attractive that my reason was shaken for a moment, but unfortunately, it only lasted for a moment. Hongseol’s tongue viciously traced his lips as if to express his inherent desire, and it was like looking at a carnivore that was about to lose its appetite.

    “Now, now, wait a minute! stop! Stop!!”

    “It’s no use. If I become that bitch in the first place, there’s no reason why I can’t.”

    “No, that means let’s stop first and talk! And why isn’t this solved again!! Hey, Park Ha-eun! Aren’t you letting go of this!?”

    “Sorry, Ji-woon. Because it’s my turn next.”

    “….Oh, fuck.”

    Park Ha-eun had put aside her usual flirtatious behavior and was squeezing my arm tightly with lifeless eyes. It made me wonder if that chest was actually a pocket of strength.

    A villain who cannot move when the main heroine activates Phase 2. It would be a perfect story of ups and downs, but the problem was that the result was now leading to a kiss.

    “Umm.. Same thing, the ball is a bit boring. If it’s okay with you, junior, can I put it on your lips?”

    “Ah, Hongseol. I don’t think I can allow that. Anyway, the lips are a bit…”

    “Ha-eun, are you thinking too briefly? If I do it on my lips, then you can do it on your lips too.”

    “Oh…”

    “What is ‘oh’, you damn bitches.”

    When the person in question was in front of him, he started to curse his lips. It wasn’t just ridiculous, it was to the point of disappearing from the face of the earth.

    Of course, it was a very happy thing to be in contact with Park Ha-eun and Hong Seol. But isn’t that an action that completely crosses the line of being a friend? This completely ruins my plan to control Lee Ji-woon’s ending from an appropriate distance.

    “Then, can you stay still for a moment, junior?”

    “No, have you really gone crazy now??”

    “So, you don’t like it? If you say no, I will let you go right away.”

    “I hate it….! Um… I don’t like it…!!”

    Why can’t you say it out loud, Lee Ji-woon? Say no! Just tell me you fucking hate it!!

    As they were engaged in this endless tug-of-war between reason and emotion, the corners of Hong Seol’s mouth began to turn into a line, as if she knew it would happen.

    “Hmph, as expected, the answer was decided.”

    “Now, wait a minute…! First of all, time!”

    “I’m sorry, but it’s a little too late to stop after being told to stop.”

    Hongseol, who had become a runaway locomotive, started rushing towards my face mercilessly and grabbed my struggling face with both hands. If this continues, Geumtaeyang’s chastity will be in danger. Of course, the original owner’s chastity is as low as the dust on the roadside, but my chastity is…!

    A face that doesn’t move. A hand that won’t loosen. Even Hong Seol’s lips are getting closer and closer. Even though I knew that maybe just accepting it would be a happy ending for everyone, it was at that time when what little reason I had left forced me to hold on to my sanity and continue walking a tightrope.

    “Hey you fucking bitches!!!”

    Lee Ye-ji came in with the sound of ‘Bang!’ and overturned the table in the center of the student council room with her superhuman strength. It seems that my usual statement about destroying the student council room wasn’t a lie, as the table was moving so smoothly that the three of us naturally had no choice but to separate from each other.

    “Hero appears. It’s all over, you guys.”

    “Hero? Not a villain?”

    “Shut up, you lewd perverted sadist bitch!! Are you trying to tie Ji-woon up and rape her? Even though you do that, you’re still human!!?”

    “Aren’t you interpreting it too broadly? We simply kissed you on the cheek…”

    “Yeah, all criminals say that. Today I will rip out all your hair and make you bald. Come on…huh?”

    “For now, let’s not fight and take a seat first.”

    First, he grabbed Nyan Ye-ji, who was seriously trying to attack Hong Seol, with his right hand, and Hong Seol, who was trying to fight back, was grabbed with his left hand. Now that I think about it, there was one person left behind, but he was a neutral country in a way, so he didn’t really need physical force.

    Well, anyway.

    “Hey, Park Ha-eun.”

    “Ah, ah… Ugh…!”

    “I understand that you became sensitive because of the photo, but are you being a bit naughty today?”

    “Ugh… Ugh… I’m sorry… Hmm…”

    It would be okay to show this level of diplomacy(?).

    Anyway, the situation came to an end with the appearance of Yeji Lee. Hong Seol and Park Ha Eun seemed to be all out of their minds because of the photo, but after interrogating them a few times, they eventually confessed that they had done something wrong.

    However, the stance of feeling unfair continued. Why is Yeji Lee working and not me? Their attitude was that if they could do skinship for something as trivial as a store event, there was no reason they couldn’t do it too.

    “Anyway, no way. Seniors can’t do it, Park Ha-eun can’t do it, and now Lee Ye-ji can’t do it either.”

    “Me, why can’t I!!”

    “Usually, friends of the opposite sex don’t engage in skinship to this extent. Don’t watch dramas, live real life, you guy.”

    Of course, it wasn’t something I would say as I was trapped in the game, but this was an honest opinion no matter who saw it. Of course, it was very disappointing not to be able to receive a kiss on the cheek from Yeji Lee in the future, but isn’t the sacrifice of a cow for the greater good always followed?

    After all this, there was a lull for a while. The three women seemed to be communicating by puffing out their cheeks and strangely gesturing at each other. This is starting to make me a little anxious…

    ‘Usually when I feel like this… in my experience…’

    People have a sense of humor. This corresponds to the Sixth Sense and is not a scientifically proven fact, but don’t we definitely feel the sense of touch as we live in the world?

    When you have an anxious premonition, something anxious happens, and when you have a bad dream, something bad happens. It would be a lie to say that I have never had an experience like this in my life.

    and.

    “Then.. shouldn’t all three people here be allowed to have skinship?”

    “Yes, yes! We’re not just friends, we’re really close friends, so isn’t it okay to do that?”

    “Ji-woon, don’t you know that it’s a culture for people in the West to kiss their friends too? This is completely normal?”

    That unwanted future began to reveal itself before me.
