Knock knock-.

As I opened the sliding door to the infirmary and went in, I immediately saw Chae Yeon-hee.

Judging from the dark circles under my eyes that were darker than yesterday, I guess I must have played games all night again.

It’s certainly a good thing to enjoy a hobby, but only if you do it in moderation.

If it interferes with your daily life to this extent, then it must be considered excessive.

Well, I think things will get better little by little if we start living together.

After rolling around on the bed, you probably won’t have any energy left to play games.

“You’re really here again… ?”

Chae Yeon-hee looked at me with a weak gaze and said.

I answered, naturally sitting on the chair in front of her.

“Yes, I told you I would come again yesterday.”

“I thought you’d just say it and not come.”

“I’m not the type of person who just talks big.”

“I see.”

Chae Yeon-hee, who was talking to me like that, suddenly stretched her arms upward.

Then he made a sound like “Huh-huh-!” It was like a sound you would hear in an AV.

In addition, the T-shirt she was wearing was pulled up, exposing her belly button and making her breasts stick out.

To this extent, wouldn’t it be fair to say that it’s tempting?

Can I lock the door to the infirmary?

It was when I was going through the biggest dilemma of my life.

“Did you come to get the pass?”

Chae Yeon-hee tilted her head and asked.

It seemed like he had no awareness of his own actions.

In this case, we need to tell them what’s wrong, but unfortunately, it’s too early to do so.

I guess I’ll have to wait until next time to use the infirmary bed.

Anyway, since Chae Yeon-hee asked the question, I have to answer.

“Why? Can’t you just come looking for me?”

Yesterday, Chae Yeon-hee must have been thinking a lot about the bait I threw out.

You must have struggled to find the hidden meaning behind why I answered “well.”

In that situation, do you hear answers like this?

Then your thoughts will naturally drift in that direction.

I wonder if he’s interested in me.

But you still can’t be sure.

I don’t have confidence because I spend all night playing games in the corner of the room.

“Uh… It’s not that it’s not possible… . There’s no reason for that to happen… ?”

“So it’s not like it won’t work? Then it’s fine.”

I deliberately did not mention the reason.

So that Chae Yeon-hee can think more about this situation.

Because I know that she would never let a situation like this go.

“Oh right, this is it.”

I took some chocolate and some restoratives out of my pocket and handed them to her.

“Why is this?”

“I bought it for you because you looked really tired yesterday.”

“You want to give it to me…?”

“What, you even gave me a pass?”

Since Chae Yeon-hee hesitated and did not accept it, I just left it on the table.

I’m worried that I won’t be able to survive among the heroines if I don’t have this much confidence.

Well, I guess I’ll have to make sure I don’t fall behind.

“Thank you… .”

“But why are you so tired?”

“Ah, um… .”

Chae Yeon-hee didn’t give an easy answer.

I guess he’s reluctant to talk about it because he doesn’t look favorably on people who play games all night.

But for the sake of our future relationship, I needed to hear about the game.

For gamers, the best conversation partners are people who play the same games.

To put it simply, it’s about building consensus? Something like that.

“Come to think of it, I was really tired a while ago.”

“Why?”

“I stayed up all night playing games. When I came to, it was morning, right?”

“Does Seo-ha also play games?”

Chae Yeon-hee said as if it was unexpected.

Of course it’s a lie.

Because I prefer reading to playing games.

I slept well last night.

But I guess there’s no need to say that so honestly.

If Chae Yeon-hee asks me to play a game, I’d like to play with her.

“Aren’t we all usually the same age?”

“Oh, I see. But what game are you playing…?”

Chae Yeon-hee’s eyes were already filled with interest.

I just don’t have the courage to speak properly yet.

But if you’ve come this far, you’ve already taken the bait.

I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

‘It’s almost time for break time to end.’

The timing is just right.

It almost feels like heaven has given me this opportunity.

“I wonder if you know Tales RPG.”

Tales RPG.

This is a game that Chae Yeon-hee is obsessed with.

You probably played a lot of raids last night, drinking energy drinks.

As expected, Chae Yeon-hee’s eyes widened when she heard what I said.

Because he was usually so sullen, his expression became even more dramatic.

“That, that by any chance… !”

It was the moment when Chae Yeon-hee, who was excited, was about to say something.

Ding dong dang dong─.

Unfortunately, the bell rang signaling the end of break time.

I got up from my seat without hesitation.

“I think I should go to class.”

“Oh, I see… .”

Chae Yeon-hee had a gloomy expression.

The sight was so cute that I wanted to skip class and spend time in the infirmary.

Of course, the infirmary door will be locked for a moment.

By the way.

‘Are we going to end it like this?’

If you do some flirting and let them know that you’re playing the same game, shouldn’t you personally apply for the after-party?

Well, then it wouldn’t be Chae Yeon-hee.

In the end, I decided to take the initiative this time too.

I said to her, who was fidgeting with her fingers for no reason.

“Oh, come to think of it. I didn’t get the pass.”

“Okay, just a moment. I’m going to drill… .”

Chae Yeon-hee hurriedly reached into the drawer.

I never knew you could be so clueless… .

If being dull is a charm, then I decided to let it slide.

It’s no fun when a gloomy woman is quick-witted.

“I’m going to go to class for now and I’ll come pick it up during the next break.”

With those words, I left the infirmary and hurriedly headed to the classroom.

Of course, I would understand if I said I had been to the infirmary, but today was the first day of class and more than anything, Ha Yu-jin and Yoon A-ram were waiting for me so I didn’t want to be late.

Finally, I arrived in front of the classroom, carefully opened the back door, and went in.

“Seoha student?”

I had a feeling it might be, but as expected, the teacher was already in the classroom.

Fortunately, it seemed like class hadn’t started yet.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“You went to the infirmary, right? Hurry up and take a seat.”

It seemed like Ha Yu-jin or Yoon A-ram had told me in advance since the teacher knew that I had gone to the infirmary.

You’re doing something pretty today too.

If you keep doing that, I might not be able to stand it anymore and bully you before you leave school. Can you handle it?

As I sat down with that thought in mind, Yoon Aram asked quietly from the side.

“Seoha, didn’t you go to the infirmary?”

“That’s right… ?”

“What is the pass?”

“I didn’t receive it because we were talking about this and that. I’ll receive it during the next break.”

Yoon Aram nodded as if she understood.

But at that moment, something suddenly came up on the desk.

It was a small note made by folding a notebook.

Since the only person who could give me something like this was Ha Yu-jin, I turned my head to the other side.

Then Ha Yu-jin glanced at me from the corner of her eye and then looked straight ahead.

Are you telling me to look at the note?

I unfolded the neatly folded note and immediately burst into laughter.

[Don’t talk nonsense -_-]

I guess my childhood friend didn’t like the fact that I was whispering to other girls.

Anyway, it’s so cute I could die.

I wonder if she’s being cute and asking me to touch her more because I poked her in the chest today.

[Are you all normal?]

After writing that in the remaining space on the note, I folded it neatly again and placed it on Ha Yu-jin’s desk.

After a while, Ha Yu-jin looked around and opened the note.

And then he sneakily poked my thigh with his finger.

Maybe it was because the teacher couldn’t see him since he was right next to him, but his actions were quite bold.

If this continues, I don’t know if my hands will get deep inside sooner or later.

Well, I welcome it.

After that, I took turns having conversations with Yoon A-ram and Ha Yu-jin.

Of course, I did it in a way that I wouldn’t get caught, so there weren’t any problems.

As time passed, the bell rang and class ended.

I thought it was just a moment, but I guess it felt that way because I was having fun.

If it was an academy like this, I think I could really go there for the rest of my life.

“Here, you guys eat this.”

Before going to the infirmary, I gave Ha Yu-jin and Yoon A-ram the animal jellies I had bought at the convenience store.

Don’t be too bored while you wait.

By the way, have you two become close friends?

The three of us want to go on a date soon.

“Seohaya, I’ll eat well.”

“I’ll eat well too.”

The two who received the jelly expressed their gratitude.

Seeing that our breathing was in sync, it seemed like we had become quite close.

“Okay, enjoy your meal. I’ll go to the infirmary.”

I got up from my seat and went straight out of the classroom and headed to the infirmary.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how Chae Yeon-hee will react.

What if they suddenly lock the door to the infirmary and storm in?

Should I just reject him and say no?

While I was daydreaming like that, I arrived at the infirmary before I knew it, and this time I skipped knocking and opened the door straight away.

Then, as if she had been waiting, Chae Yeon-hee suddenly got up from her seat.
