“Huh!”

I opened my eyes in shock, almost as if I was convulsing.

“Png…”

And as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt a severe headache and pain in my left arm.

“Ugh… Where am I…”

It wasn’t the abandoned construction site where I fell, it wasn’t the academy, and it wasn’t even my house.

White walls, windows with a view of the dark outside.

His head was wrapped in a bandage and his arm had an IV in it.

Of course, there is only one place where all of these situations can be found.

‘hospital…? How could I…’

I don’t know who called, but I remember the police coming.

Now that I’ve left that mess behind, I thought I’d be in detention once I came to my senses…

Seeing that there were some fruits and a convenience store lunch box on the table next to the bed in the hospital room, it was clear that someone had been there.

As I was looking around in confusion, the door to the hospital room I was in opened and a person came in.

His face was somewhat haggard, and his once shiny and silky black hair seemed to have become a little dull.

Her face became half-faced and she froze on the spot when she opened her eyes and saw me.

“Seo, Seongjin!!!”

Then he called my name like a scream and ran over to me and grabbed my healthy right hand.

“Seongjin! Are you out of your mind? Do you recognize me?!”

“Yuri, what is this…”

When Yuri heard my voice, she burst into tears and called the nurse and doctor while crying.

“Huhhh… Go, nurse! Our Seongjin has woken up! The patient here came to his senses!!”

Immediately after those words, two nurses rushed into the hospital room, checked everything, and then went to call the doctor.

Meanwhile, Yuri just cried next to me.

I opened my mouth to calm down Yuri, who was crying out of disbelief.

“Yuri, how did I get to the hospital… It felt like the police were here…”

“Ugh… The injury was so severe that they had to be hospitalized first.”

“How long has it been since I came here?”

“Sniff… Sigh… 3, 3 days…”

It happened on Friday evening, so if 3 days have passed, today is…

“Then Monday…? Have you been here until this hour without going home?”

“Ugh… How can I go home when you’re like this! I thought you wouldn’t wake up and I thought you were going crazy!”

Yuri hugged me and cried, but when he realized belatedly that I had just regained consciousness, he fell in shock.

Soon doctors and nurses came to the hospital room and checked my physical condition.

He said he received a major blow to his head, but luckily there was no problem with his bones. His left arm and both wrists were also severely swollen, but his bones were only cracked and not broken.

When Yuri was told that it wouldn’t take as long as she thought to be discharged since she was conscious, she sat down, covered her face, and cried.

“Ugh… Thank you… Thank you… Hehe…”

After the doctors and nurses left, it was just the two of us left in the room.

The only sound in the hospital room was the sound of Yuri whimpering in silence.

“Yuri, how am I here?”

“That…”

#####

3 days ago.

“I wondered how it would last so long. Well, you don’t know how to treat women other than how you treat me, so it’s not strange if Yuri leaves at any time-”

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry about me. Don’t talk like shit.”

“Who cares about you? I have no interest whatsoever in what happened to you!”

Han Seong-jin didn’t touch Jeong Eun-ji all week, and even when she said something sassy, he didn’t say anything like ‘education’.

Even while she was naked and changing clothes right before his eyes, he closed his eyes and did not even turn his head in that direction.

Even though I changed my clothes very slowly.

Jeong Eun-ji, who was grumpy for no reason, tried to provoke him as much as she could, but Han Seong-jin was almost unresponsive, like a person who was completely confused.

In the end, Jeong Eun-ji got angry for no reason and left the classroom.

When she came back out after taking the track and field clothes from the track and field club cabinet to take home and wash, she saw Han Seong-jin running somewhere with all his might.

“What, where are you going?”

Just like Han Seong-jin, Jeong Eun-ji could have just paid no mind, but because of the way Han Seong-jin has been showing all week, his appearance caught my eye.

No matter how fast Han Seong-jin ran, he couldn’t even compare to Jeong Eun-ji’s footsteps, so she was able to easily catch up.

Seongjin Han joined a group of men.

‘Those… are the Iljin guys from our academy, right? Hey, that kid was doing that behind my back too?! I really believed things have changed now! ‘I believed it!’

Jeong Eun-ji trembled with a sense of betrayal, but at the same time, she continued to follow him, hoping it was just a coincidence.

Han Seong-jin seemed to be in a very urgent situation.

On the way, I also ran into Choi Su-yeon.

“Huh? Where is senior Eunji?”

“Should I tell you that?”

“Hmm~ Earlier, Senior Seongjin was heading this way. Seeing that the direction is the same, I guess he is following Seongjin? Are you saying that because you’re worried?”

“Who cares? Stop talking nonsense and go your own way!”

“Probably the same route that my senior and I take?”

Choi Su-yeon also seemed to feel uneasy when she saw Han Seong-jin walking faster with a pale complexion.

Jeong Eun-ji leisurely followed Han Seong-jin while Choi Soo-yeon made a gasping sound, and soon the two reached an abandoned construction site in a slum.

As soon as they saw that, the two froze.

“What… Um, those… Aren’t they holding weapons now? Are you going to start a gang fight? Aren’t they crazy?”

“Seo, Seongjin said he wouldn’t do things like this anymore… Huh? I think there’s someone behind there…”

And through the conversations of the people present, including Han Seong-jin, the two realized that the person tied to the chair was Lee Yu-ri.

“Uh, what should I do! Who are they? Who is Yuri… Isn’t this kidnapping someone?!”

“Looking at his tight hair, he looks like Eunbong Gongyo… Isn’t this going to be a big problem? Senior Seongjin or Senior Yuri?!”

and…

Whoops-!!!

“”Aaagh!!!””

The moment the guy standing behind Han Seong-jin hit the betrayer and struck Han Seong-jin’s head with a wooden block, the two screamed at the same time.

The scene, which was thought to be a fight between many and many, turned into a scene where both sides worked together to destroy Han Seong-jin.

“Uh, uh, what should I do?! Senior Seongjin!!”

“Guy, police… police… hello!? You’re a police officer!? This is an abandoned construction site inside the slums of XX-dong, and now someone is using wooden blocks to… give, please? How do you know the address!

It’s just an abandoned construction site that you find if you go straight into the slum!! Come quickly! Right now, dozens of people are trying to kill someone with wooden blocks and metal pipes!!!”

The two women, whose faces were paler than a corpse, trembled as they waited for the police for what seemed like eons.

I knew that even if the two of me, unarmed, went into that mess, it wouldn’t help anyone, so I had no choice but to cry and hide.

And as soon as the police arrived, the two men stormed into the scene of the fight, taking the police with them.

As the police whistled, all those who still had the strength to run away threw away their weapons and ran away, and the two ran to the scene shedding tears of fear.

“Yuri, are you okay!? W, there’s even Youngbae?!”

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh, Eunji… Seongjin… Seongjin… Ugh… Seongjin… ”

Yuri Lee was so shocked that she couldn’t even speak properly.

“Aaagh! Seongjin senior! Oh, what should I do! There’s blood from your head… Seriously, Senpai!? are you okay? Open your eyes!”

Choi Soo-yeon, who was screaming, went into a state of panic and trembled all over when she saw blood pouring from the head of Han Seong-jin, who had collapsed.

Without even having time to think about it, she took off the shirt she was wearing, grabbed it with her teeth, and tore the side hem.

I couldn’t say that I was strong, but when I was pushed into an extreme situation, I developed superhuman strength without realizing it.

Choi Soo-yeon clumsily bandaged Han Seong-jin’s head with torn pieces of clothing.

As she shivered without even thinking about putting her clothes back on, Eunji Jeong dressed her instead.

“Seo, Seongjin! Are you okay… ahhh!!! Ah…”

Lee Yu-ri, who regained her freedom, ran to Han Seong-jin and fainted from shock when she saw that his condition was worse than expected.

An ambulance followed the police car, and the medical team was the first to leave for the hospital, putting Han Seong-jin on a stretcher in response to the crying calls of Choi Soo-yeon and Jeong Eun-ji.

#####

“That’s right.”

“Sigh… Sigh… I really thought you were going to die… Ugh…”

“It’s okay. They say he’s alive like this and can be discharged soon. Ah, but…”

After I regained my strength, I became worried about the practical aspects.

“I don’t have money to pay hospital bills…even if I have medical insurance…”

“I told that to the academy today. That happened while you were saving me. If the teachers can talk well with each other, the school might provide support. Sniff…

And don’t say things like I don’t accept this! If you say yes, definitely take it! Even if it doesn’t work out, I, Eunji, and Choi Suyeon will try our best anyway, so accept it unconditionally!”

“… Yuri, why are you being so…”

“What?”

I was choked with guilt and sadness when I saw Yuri, who had gone through something big herself, come to the hospital in the evening to nurse me and try to help me with the hospital bills in any way she could.

“I… am not qualified.”

“……”

“I… always said that I wanted to have more women besides you, and in fact, I dated Soo-yeon… and even though it was before we met, I even had your sister as my sex partner… and I even hurt her badly. ..

Just in this case, the Eunbong guys were targeting you because you were my girlfriend. You were hurt because you were with me, your sister was hurt too, the two of you fought, and you almost got into real trouble this time.

But why… don’t you say something that you blame me for?”

“……”

“I… When I’m next to you, I only make things difficult for you-”

“You idiot!”

puck!

Yuri, who was whimpering and crying, got angry and tried to hit my uninjured leg, but then realized that I was a patient and withdrew his hand.

However, he still looked very angry and raised his voice with a huff.

“Do you think I have a hard time when you are next to me? Who said that!”

“But…”

“You… then were you planning on breaking up with me? You bastard! I mean, just say something shameless like you always do!”

“Yuri, I-”

“I am!!!”

Tears flowed from Yuri’s eyes.

“Ugh… I… It was the first time someone loved me like this. He didn’t take it for granted that I made him a packed lunch, and no matter what I cooked for him, he always said it was delicious and ate it well! Even though I pushed him away like that, he continues to be nice to me!

I thought the body was definitely the goal, but instead, when the opportunity comes, they think of me and cherish me! I liked all those aspects of you!”

Yuri trembled, clutching my ward blanket tightly.

“Arcade too! Coin karaoke too! It was you who taught me such entertainment! It was you who made me a woman! After getting to know you, I also realized that there are a lot of things to do besides studying!

Because of you, I came to like going to the arcade more than studying. Because of you, I came to like going to a coin karaoke room and singing more than going to the library to buy workbooks! It was great when I gave up student council work and participated in sports day with you!

however! For making me like this! I became like this because of you, but is that why you were thinking of breaking up with me? That’s all I’ve done for you!? He said he loved me!! Why did I nurse the sick here for three whole days?”

Yuri buried her face in the ward bed and cried bitterly.

“Sigh… I… I saw you trying to save me until the end even though things were like that… Sigh… Sigh… I thought you really cared for me and loved me… But in reality, I Because I can’t help you with anything…”

“… Yuri, I’m sorry. I don’t want to break up with you either. I’m just afraid you won’t think you’re happy with me anymore-”

“Sniff… Then don’t say that again!!! Ugh… if you say something like that one more time, I will never forgive you again!!!”

“… Okay. I’m sorry, Yuri.”

“Well… you don’t know what to say other than sorry.”

“Thank you, Yuri. I love you.”

“Ugh… I love you too.”

Because my head was still bandaged and I had an IV inserted, we only hugged very lightly instead of kissing.

After feeling a suffocating distance for a week, our relationship became back to normal… no, it became closer than before.

However, the fact that my relationship with Yuri worked out was okay, and there were still many things I had to take responsibility for.

“Yuri, when I get better, can I meet your sister and talk to you?”

“Sister?”

“Yes. I told her… no.”

For a moment, I realized that I was naturally calling her informally due to my previous habits, and I corrected myself.

“I did something very mean to your sister. I want to meet up, have a proper conversation, and apologize. My sister probably doesn’t want to see me, but…”

“Probably not.”

Yuri answered while peeling the apple next to him.

“You don’t know how much my sister cried in shock when she found out what happened. If you ask me to meet you and talk, I probably won’t say no.”

“Really? Well, I’m glad… Oh, I also have to say thank you to Suyeon and Jeong Eunji.”

“I’ll go to the academy tomorrow and talk about it.”

After peeling the apple, Yuri took a piece with a fork and put it in my mouth.

Then, as if he remembered something, he made an ‘ah’ sound.

“Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, I have something I wanted to tell you…”

“What is it?”

“But it’s a bit too much to talk about now… It might be dangerous if you get angry and your head starts bleeding.”

“It’s okay. Look here. Heart rate and blood pressure are both normal.”

“No, it’s still a bit…”

“Ah, what is it? It makes people wonder whether the story will be brought up or not.”

“Um… It’s not certain yet, so can’t you listen and get excited?”

“Okay, okay.”

I answered, but Yuri still looked at me with an uneasy expression and very slowly opened her mouth.

I keep squinting at the numbers on the device to see if my condition is going to get weird.

“That thing on Friday… I think Gong Youngbae did something.”
