20 – Day 2 at the Training Center (4)

And before she even ate half, Hayoon’s spoon could no longer move.

The smell of oats rose from her mouth to her nose, but even swallowing it was a struggle.

Even the fruit and milk were still untouched. She was already full from just the oatmeal.

“Are you okay?”

Do I look okay to you? She wanted to snap at Kim Seonah, who had finished her meal and approached her with a worried expression, but Hayoon just shook her head with a pale face.

She should have realized when she felt full after eating such a simple breakfast, but her stomach was disgustingly small.

She wondered if it was normal for those infected, so she turned her head and saw Jin Siwon eating with Shin Sohyun.

She had finished her own portion and was now eyeing Shin Sohyun’s, who was still eating.

“Ouch.”

“If you’ve finished yours, clear your tray, okay?”

Shin Sohyun said in an exasperated voice, hitting her hand with a spoon as she secretly reached for an apple, but she giggled and said.

“Come on, one apple is okay, right?”

“Okay my ass, mff?!”

Shin Sohyun, looking flustered, pushed Jin Siwon away after she suddenly kissed her, but soon gave up and started kissing back.

What the hell are those bitches doing while eating?

“Gross, so gross…”

Ryu Jina, who was watching the scene from afar, clicked her tongue and muttered, as if she wasn’t the only one who felt dumbfounded.

Regardless, Jin Siwon, who had finally gotten her hands on an apple, smiled as she bit into it with a crunch. Shin Sohyun lowered her head and mumbled in a barely audible voice.

“Seriously, what are you doing… There are other people here…”

“Who cares? It’s not like it’ll wear them out just by looking.”

“That’s not what I mean…”

Jin Siwon whispered in Shin Sohyun’s ear, whose ears were red as she pecked at her oatmeal, after finishing the whole apple.

“You know the price for the apple later, right?”

“…Yeah.”

Disgusting. Hayoon muttered, barely swallowing what was in her mouth. She was about to swear because of the absurd sight, so she swallowed it down.

But there was still a lot of oatmeal left. As she stared at it with a bleak look at the stuffy smell of oats, Kim Seonah, whose face was slightly flushed from the earlier scene, whispered.

“Can I help you? It doesn’t look like you can eat it all.”

“Tsk…”

Hayoon hesitated. There was no option to leave it. Not only because of her pride, but also because she knew what would happen if she got caught by the teachers.

But she couldn’t just take Kim Seonah’s words either. Didn’t she say something in the locker room? As she was agonizing over it, someone approached her bed.

She raised her head and saw two people. Yoon Serin and Han Sua.

“Your spoon hasn’t moved for a while, what’s wrong, Hayoon?”

“You’re not going to say you can’t eat it, are you?”

Hayoon sighed at their alternating taunts. They wouldn’t have even been able to make eye contact when she was a teacher, but now that they were in the same boat, they were acting all high and mighty.

She wanted to throw the tray away, but instead, Hayoon clicked her tongue and plunged her spoon into the oatmeal.

“Mind your own business. I’ll take care of it myself.”

“We’re saying it because it doesn’t look like you can. It looks like your stomach is full, you can’t eat it alone, can you?”

Yoon Serin was right. She managed to swallow what was in her mouth while watching Jin Siwon and Shin Sohyun’s antics, but it didn’t seem like she could eat any more.

But Hayoon smiled and scooped up a large spoonful of oatmeal.

“What are you talking about, idiots.”

Then she shoved it into her mouth with all her might. Once, twice, three times… She kept scooping up the oatmeal left on the tray and bringing it to her mouth without stopping.

The two who had been provoking her stared with disgusted eyes at her combative spirit to finish the remaining oatmeal.

Regardless, Hayoon put down her spoon as if throwing it after finishing the last spoonful. The oatmeal that had been piled up like a mountain on the tray disappeared as if it were a lie.

If she had stopped there, Yoon Serin and Han Sua would have continued to taunt Hayoon, but she didn’t stop.

She chewed and swallowed the fruits, one banana and one apple, and even finished the milk in one shot.

Down to the last drop. Hayoon shook the carton upside down over her head and said to the two with a triumphant look.

“Happy now?”

“She’s tough… Let’s go.”

“Y-yeah.”

Yoon Serin dragged Han Sua, who was flustered as if she didn’t expect her to really eat it all, and disappeared.

Hayoon watched their retreating figures leaving the dorm, and only after she was sure that they had completely disappeared from the vicinity of the dorm did she harden her expression, cover her mouth, and run out.

“Hayoon!”

Kim Seonah called her in a flustered voice from behind, but it wasn’t the time to look back.

Hayoon quickly entered the nearest bathroom and immediately grabbed the toilet, throwing up what she had forced down earlier.

“Blegh-“

The splashing sound echoed repeatedly. Hayoon gasped for breath, then gagged again with a retching sound.

After repeating that several times and spitting out stomach acid, she felt a hand stroking her back. Hayoon wiped her mouth with an exhausted face and turned around.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m not okay at all…”

It was Kim Seonah, which was perhaps to be expected. Hayoon, who answered her words, grabbed the toilet again as stomach acid surged up again.

She ate it out of spite because Yoon Serin and Han Sua provoked her, but she didn’t expect the backlash to be so great. She thought she would just throw up a few times and be fine.

But she couldn’t come to her senses because of the pain that squeezed her chest and the constant nausea. Even after she had thrown up everything, she kept making retching sounds.

As she leaned against the toilet, panting, Kim Seonah said in a worried voice.

“Can’t you just bend a little? There’s no need to make enemies with people.”

“Put yourself in my shoes. Is that possible?”

She was supposed to get along with the bitches who hadn’t treated her like a human being for over four years? It was like telling a human to get along with a toy now that they had become a toy.

As if she knew she would say that, Kim Seonah muttered with a sigh.

“Still. You have to live with them for a few months, and you’re all in the same situation of being oppressed by the teachers. Shouldn’t we help each other out?”

“Shut up, blegh…”

“Sigh. Stubborn.”

As Hayoon, who was about to retort irritably, grabbed the toilet again, Kim Seonah sighed and patted her back. After repeating that for a long time, she finally calmed down.

“Can you stand up?”

“I don’t know…”

“Just lift your arm.”

As Hayoon, who had deteriorated rapidly in the meantime, was groaning, Kim Seonah struggled to help her up. Because she was leaning her body completely on her without strength, the sensation of her large breasts was felt through a single layer of clothing.

‘Soft…’

It had been over a month since she became a woman, but she was still unfamiliar with other female bodies besides her own, so Kim Seonah blankly thought so, but then shook her head, startled.

What was she thinking, leaving a person who was unconscious? As she blushed and came out of the bathroom, she ran into someone.

“Oh.”

“Ah, hello.”

“Yeah, hi.”

As Kim Seonah, who recognized Jin Siwon, bowed her head, she stroked her chin as if she had seen something interesting and looked back and forth between Hayoon and Kim Seonah.

As she stood still, not knowing what was going on, Jin Siwon laughed and said.

“I knew you two looked close since you first came here…”

“Yes?”

“Are you two doing this too?”

She made a gesture of rubbing her fingers together like she had shown Hayoon before, but Kim Seonah tilted her head and said.

“What’s that?”

“…Huh? You don’t know this?”

“No…”

This was the first time she had seen this reaction. Jin Siwon scratched her head and said.

“Are you two a couple?”

“C-couple? H-how can women…”

“Don’t deny it, judging by the way you look now, it looks like you’ve already had a wild night.”

Hayoon, who was leaning on Kim Seonah with an exhausted face as if she had lost strength in her legs, and Kim Seonah, who came out supporting her with a red face, looked like they had done something like that no matter how you looked at it.

Jin Siwon continued to say with a giggle.

“I never imagined that Hayoon would be the one being taken advantage of, though.”

“T-taken advantage of?”

“You must be pretty good with your hands? You knocked out that fierce one like that. I’ve never done it that passionately with Sohyun. Do you want to talk about it later?”

“N-no! It wasn’t anything like what you’re imagining, Jin Siwon!”

Kim Seonah, who belatedly realized what she was talking about, shook her head with a flushed face.

Besides, she already had a man in mind… Oh, that’s not it. Kim Seonah said, putting aside the thought that was about to go off on a tangent again.

“I’m just helping Hayoon because she doesn’t look well! It’s definitely not that kind of meaning!”

“Hehe, I know. I was just teasing you. You’re cute.”

Kim Seonah, who realized that she had been completely teased by Jin Siwon’s giggling appearance, looked at her with a sulky face.

Jin Siwon, who wiped her eyes with her fingers as if it was really funny, took a deep breath and said.

“Haa, that was fun. I’ll give you this as an apology.”

“Whoa.”

Kim Seonah, who barely caught something that was thrown at her, stared blankly at it.

It was a red fruit, an apple.

“An apple as an apology… Pfft.”

Kim Seonah couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she realized the pun. Rather, Jin Siwon, who did it, looked at her with a dumbfounded look and said.

“I’m something, but you have a really unique sense of humor.”

“Ugh… M-more than that, where did you get the apple to give it to us?”

“It’s my share of the apple. I didn’t eat it and left it.”

“Huh? But you ate it all and said you were hungry and took Shin Sohyun’s…”

“I said I was hungry because I didn’t eat that.”

“Ah…”

But why? As if she noticed that feeling, Jin Siwon shrugged her shoulders and said.

“Just because. I like Hayoon. She’s pretty, and she has a unique personality. I’m giving her this favor because I want her to open her heart to me like she does to you.”

“Ah, haha…”

As Kim Seonah couldn’t say anything to the words full of ulterior motives, Jin Siwon smiled and said.

“Anyway, take good care of Hayoon. It looks like it’s going to be hard for a while. It’s not just me and Sohyun, but it looks like everyone is out to get her. I heard she used to be a teacher here?”

At those words, Kim Seonah thought of the three most senior people, the ones who had been there the longest. Well, those people had suffered a lot from Hayoon, so it was to be expected.

“Then see you later. Sohyun is waiting for me.”

“Ah, yes.”

Kim Seonah blankly watched Jin Siwon leave, waving her hand.
