There is an entrance exam to the academy.

It’s such a common cliché.

The novel I entered also did not escape that cliché.

The academy has an entrance exam, and all students who enroll must be adults and wear a school uniform.

So, to enter the academy, you have to pass the exam… .

‘I don’t have to study.’

It seems that Lee Seo-ha’s hobby was studying, as she had the knowledge of all the courses at the academy stored in her head.

Well, if I don’t do this, I won’t be able to maintain my ranking and participate in events with the heroines.

The author’s good setup, something like that.

So I use it.

If Lee Seo-ha has been neglecting the heroine until now because he only studied, then he should enjoy the events with the heroine as well.

I said to Ha Yu-jin.

“What can I do for you if I teach you how to study? There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

“I bought you tteokbokki earlier, right?”

“Isn’t that because you bought it for me because you were grateful for what I saved for you earlier?”

“What, what are you talking about… .”

Ha Yu-jin’s face turned red.

It seemed like he was remembering what happened in front of the bathroom.

She soon began to shake her head from side to side.

And then she said, her face slightly sunken and her cheeks slightly flushed.

“Anyway, I’m going tomorrow! Please recommend some books I need!”

“Recommend a book…? What, you haven’t studied at all until now?”

“Huh… ? What… It doesn’t really suit me to study… ?”

Ha Yu-jin smiled awkwardly and looked at me.

If you don’t study, you’re the one who’s going to suffer, so why on earth are you worrying about what I think?

This isn’t something I should say, having just eaten raw and done nothing.

“So you can enter the academy? There are still about 3 months left, right?”

“Then! If you help me, there’s no problem!”

So that’s why you were watching me.

Realizing it too late, I raised my hand and placed it on my forehead.

It’s so good?

If you come over to my house often, there’s no need to bother making date plans.

“Hey, this and this and this… .”

I used all the knowledge I had in my head to choose a book for Ha Yu-jin.

Ha Yu-jin’s eyes widened at the books piling up in her hands.

“, you do this much?”

“You’re doing as much as you’ve argued so far.”

“Well, if you say it like that, I have nothing to say… .”

“It’s strange that you have something to say.”

After choosing all the books, we headed to the checkout counter.

And that’s where we met.

Pure white hair, brown eyes, and a blunt expression.

She is one year older than me and is the second heroine you will meet when you enter the academy.

Yoon Seol-ah.

Perhaps because she was the heroine in the novel, she gave off an overwhelming aura that was different from other people.

So much so that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

“I’ll help you calculate it.”

“Oh, yes.”

I took out my card and held it out.

‘Would it help if I opened up to you now?’

No, it’s not.

For now, we need to focus on Ha Yu-jin’s strategy.

If you try to catch two rabbits at once, you may end up missing both.

Get hold of one first, and it won’t be too late to catch it later.

In the end, I left the bookstore with Ha Yu-jin, promising to come back later.

As I was wandering around, time passed by in a flash, and before I knew it, the sun was hanging over the mountain ridge.

As I was looking out the window like that, Ha Yu-jin suddenly asked.

“Do you know that guy just now?”

“No, this is your first time seeing me? Why?”

“Just? It seemed like he was staring straight at me, so I thought maybe he was someone I knew.”

Ha Yu-jin’s voice was blunt, but there was a sense of relief hidden within it.

But it seems like he himself didn’t notice.

But what can I do, I plan on seducing all the heroines in this novel.

Unlike Lee Seo-ha, who hesitated and even lost what she had.

Anyway, I guess I should give him a carrot since he seems a little upset.

“Ha Yu-jin, are you coming tomorrow?”

“Oh, I’m going.”

“Is there anything you want to eat tomorrow?”

“Why is that?”

“I thought I’d just go check out the market since I came all the way here.”

A color came to Ha Yu-jin’s face.

It seemed like he really liked the idea of making food for her.

“Then I’ll have tteokbokki!”

Didn’t you eat that today too…?

* * * * *

After finishing my shopping and leaving the shopping mall, the moon was already high in the sky.

We set off straight on our way home.

It’s not like there’s anything particularly busy, but it’s something that Ha Yu-jin’s parents might be worried about.

“Ha Yu-jin, leave the book you bought today at my house. You said it will come tomorrow anyway.”

“Is that okay?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

After that, we walked along the streets in the early evening, chatting casually.

And shortly after, I arrived home.

As I entered the password and went inside, Ha Yu-jin followed me in.

“Where should I put the book?”

“Just leave it anywhere, I’ll take care of it.”

I said that and headed to the kitchen.

And I opened the refrigerator and organized the groceries I bought today one by one.

After I finally finished cleaning up and went out to the living room, I saw Ha Yu-jin looking through the book I was reading.

“What are you doing?”

“No, I was just curious what you were reading.”

“It’s just a novel. Rather than that, let’s go now.”

“Going? You want to go with me?”

Ha Yu-jin blinked and tilted her head.

I nodded my head as if it was natural.

This was the reason I suggested that we go to my house to drop off some books in the first place.

There is such a great event, so I can’t just pass it up.

I left Ha Yu-jin behind with a trembling expression and headed toward the front door.

Then, Ha Yu-jin came running after him at a brisk pace.

“You can go alone… .”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m just going out to get some fresh air.”

“What are you talking about… .”

Even though she said that, Ha Yu-jin’s expression didn’t look displeased at all.

Eventually we left the house together.

And then I slowly walked towards Ha Yu-jin’s house.

The cool evening air felt pleasant.

‘It’s so strange… .’

It was a strange feeling to become the main character of a novel I was reading and to build a relationship with the heroine.

It’s hard to express it, but… .

It wasn’t a very bad feeling.

At that moment, Ha Yu-jin broke the quiet silence and spoke.

“Lee Seo-ha, you really have changed a lot.”

“So you don’t like it?”

“Who, who said they didn’t like it when…? They just can’t adapt to it… .”

It turns out it’s good in the end.

But how many times do I have to say the same thing today?

It’s good that you care that much about me.

“Adjust quickly. It’s going to be like this from now on.”

“What, what are you talking about… . Really… .”

Ha Yu-jin twisted her poor hair around with her fingers for no reason.

Ha Yu-jin was indeed a tsundere.

If you go a little aggressive on this side, they’ll panic and be unable to do anything.

They say that women like that usually have strong masochistic tendencies. Is that true?

I’ll have to try it out sometime when we get that close.

I’m curious.

After a while, we arrived in front of Ha Yu-jin’s house.

Perhaps because it was only 5 minutes away, it felt incredibly short.

If you want to do something else along the way, you may have to take a slightly longer detour.

While I was thinking about that, Ha Yu-jin, who was standing in front of the door, waved her hand slightly.

“Lee Seo-ha, today was fun. Take care and see you tomorrow.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Ha Yu-jin’s gaze lingered on me for quite some time before turning away.

“I’m back-!”

I took my time walking after I saw her enter the house completely.

I couldn’t help but smile at the fact that I had a truly fulfilling day today.

This takes us one step further from NTR.

I was so incredibly happy.

It was about time that I arrived in front of the house.

Suddenly, I heard a notification sound from my cell phone in my pocket.

I took out my phone and checked it, and there was a KakaoTalk message from Ha Yu-jin.

[I have two eggs.]

It’s cute that you suddenly say something like that.

It was a problem that could not be easily overlooked.

[Come and do it together tomorrow.]

Are you just going to skip the cooking event?

No way.

* * * * *

Ding dong-, ding dong-.

I was deep in sleep when I suddenly heard the doorbell ring and slowly opened my eyes.

It must be Ha Yu-jin.

But no matter how much I want to see him, he comes too early… .

‘No…?’

I thought I arrived early, but when I checked my watch, it was already 11 o’clock.

It seems that I overslept because I read a novel until dawn yesterday.

I scrambled out of bed and headed for the front door.

And he opened the door and welcomed Ha Yu-jin.

“Hey, I’m really sorry. I overslept yesterday because I went to bed late.”

There wasn’t a specific time, but I felt sorry for making you wait.

But, Ha Yu-jin’s reaction was somehow subtle.

His face was red and his hands were clenched into fists and trembling.

“Are you really angry…?”

“Oh, put some clothes on… !”

clothes…?

I lowered my head in puzzlement and realized it belatedly.

That I took off my top while I was sleeping.

But I wasn’t particularly embarrassed.

It’s just that men take off their tops. Even on the beach, most people with good bodies expose some amount of body.

So I decided to go out confidently.

Ha Yu-jin’s reaction is funny.

“You didn’t even take off your pants, you’re just wearing your top. Okay, come in quickly.”

“What, what are you talking about…! Okay, so hurry up and get dressed and come… !”

Ha Yu-jin turned her head away as if she didn’t want to see me and kept looking at me with sidelong glances.

If that’s the case, why don’t you just look at it openly?

Anyway, I said it’s cute.

“So what do you want to study today?”

“I didn’t eat breakfast. I want to eat tteokbokki first.”

I see

If you want to cook with me, then do it.
