episode_0005

Originally, a fight would have ensued, but the men eventually backed down due to the intervention of Kim Ha-ram, Jeong Ye-rin’s boyfriend, who was passing by.

It was a problem that would be resolved over time.

However, if an event occurs, isn’t it the possessor’s role to take advantage of it?

There isn’t a single event to cater to the stupid male protagonists.

As soon as I made eye contact with Jeong Ye-eun, I made my way through the crowd and approached the men who were fighting.

“I don’t like you guys. Do you want to giggle like that?”

I grabbed the arm of the man who was holding Jeong Ye-eun’s wrist.

“What is it, Choi Do-hyeon?”

Yerin Jeong’s surprised voice was heard.

“What are you, you bastard..aaa!”

As soon as he tightened his grip, a scream came out of the man’s mouth.

“Hands go.”

“Ahh! okay! I got it!”

It laughs and ignores Jeong Ye-rin’s cries, and when I apply a little force, it immediately lowers its tail.

Typical strong and weak.

“Hey, what are you – Ah, lady… that… that blonde crazy guy…”

A muscular man tried to approach me but stopped.

And then I whisper to my companions.

“That bastard, that bastard. That crazy guy that Sangcheol was talking about.”

“What? AC, you got caught wrong…”

“Hey.. go, let’s go..”

Then, they left the place awkwardly. Did you know those anchovies and lanterns?

I turned my head and saw Jeong Ye-rin and Jeong Ye-eun.

Jeong Ye-eun was holding her wrist as if it was throbbing, and Jeong Ye-rin was looking here and there, worried about her younger sister.

The attention of the people around me was now focused on me.

I looked at Jeong Ye-eun for a moment and then turned my back.

I am still afraid of society. I’m still afraid of the light. I am a victim of society, responding to a sharp society with aggression.

Because we decided to go with that concept.

Our warm-hearted Yeeun is –

“Choi Do-hyeon!”

Without fail, he called my name.

“Yeeun, your body is – ”

“Sister, wait a minute. Dohyun Choi!”

She ran towards me, who stopped for a moment.

“Thank you for your help!”

“Okay.”

“Do you want to come hang out with us? It’ll be fun!”

She said with a bright smile.

“Wait, Ye-eun?”

Jeong Ye-rin came to me in surprise.

“Sister, Dohyeon just helped me. Otherwise, how do you know what would have happened?”

“But…”

“Nothing much changes just because one person is added. Huh?”

She looked at me with an expression of disapproval,

“So, then.”

In the end, I gave permission.

“Dohyun, you say it’s okay too! Let’s go out together, okay?”

I looked from side to side as if I was embarrassed, and then expressed my intention to accept.

“Yes! Now, this way!”

She took the lead, and Jeong Ye-rin and I followed.

While Jeong Ye-eun was humming and walking, Jeong Ye-rin spoke to me.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Why do you treat him and me differently?”

“What is it?”

“The attitude is so different, you bastard..!”

“Ah.”

Now, harden your expression.

As if there was some deep wound in his heart.

“…I feel a bit burdened by a child who treats me so brightly.”

The previous words are said with a slightly raised voice. So that even Jeong Ye-eun passing by in front can hear it.

This is the key to Jeong Ye-eun’s strategy.

It makes people think that they are filming a story about salvation and pure love.

In fact, Geum Taeyang is a victim who has been hurt by society, and they make him believe that he can be rehabilitated if he takes good care of him.

To that end, he showed his good side by helping her whenever she was in danger.

“Senior always looks at me like I’m a cockroach, so I’m used to it and it’s not difficult to deal with…”

The next words are adjusted in size so that only Yerin Jeong can hear them.

“ Hey, it’s not because you always break the school rules.”

Yerin Jeong accepted.

After that, silence fell between me and her for a while.

“It’s all here! Dohyeon, have you been to the arcade?”

“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been here…”

“I used to come often. Come here!”

She took me to the basketball game. I liked the feel of the fingers wrapping around my wrist.

I had to be careful not to laugh out loud.

A game machine with a basketball hoop installed, a slope in front of it, and several basketball balls placed on it.

“Dohyun, do you have any coins? No, I’ll give it to you! Because I brought it with me.”

“No, you don’t have to.”

Refusing help from others.

“It’s okay! It’s because I want to do it. You helped me earlier. Think of it as paying it forward!”

Click, the coin was inserted and tense music began to play.

I picked up the basketball and started throwing it into the goal.

Right next to me, Jeong Ye-eun was also throwing a basketball.

After a while, after the game is over.

I broke my best record.

Geum Taeyang’s physical abilities.

In most comics, novels, and games, Geum Taeyang is physically superior to others.

“Wow, Dohyun.. you are really good at this…”

Jeong Ye-eun is amazed by the score.

“Right?”

I looked back at her, relaxed my stiff expression just a moment ago, and smiled.

“Uh, uhh..”

Jeong Ye-eun froze.

…with a slight blush on the cheeks.

“What, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, no! That, let’s do that next time!”

Jeong Ye-eun dragged me to the next game machine.

Yerin Jeong followed us.

So, I followed her and experienced various arcade game machines, including shooting games on the screen and motorcycle games.

There was a smile on my face now, and Jeong Ye-eun, who saw it, also seemed relieved and enjoyed playing the game console.

Jeong Ye-rin was looking at me in surprise.

**

After leaving the arcade and having dinner, we decided to end the day here.

On the way home.

We and Choi Do-hyeon’s house were in a position where we had to split in the middle while going in the same direction.

I don’t know exactly, but I think Choi Do-hyun’s house is near a slum. Considering that I ran into him near there last time, there was a high probability that he was around there.

The sky gradually turned dark blue.

I looked at Choi Do-hyeon walking next to me, looking forward.

Was it fun today?

Thinking about that smile from before, I think that was the case…

I took him with me because I thought it would be fun, but if he actually wasn’t happy, the day would actually be a negative day.

“Yes, it was fun.”

He looked at the sky for a moment and continued speaking.

“..Thanks to you.”

As he looked at me and said that, there was a smile on his lips that I had seen before.

The smile you give me sometimes when you look at me. It was the same determined smile as when I said thank you on our walk last night.

‘Wow, I’m surprised…’

While looking at the sky, I couldn’t help but be surprised when he suddenly looked at me.

…and also a handsome face.

‘I usually smile a little…’

Why do you usually wear such a scary expression?

I think I would be more popular if I walked around smiling.

Maybe me too –

‘Oh, no!’

I have Jungwoo.

Something tingled in my heart. I felt guilty for even thinking this.

As Jeongwoo’s bright face came to mind, the stone in my heart became even heavier.

I shook my head and shook off the distracting thoughts.

“Then, I’ll go.”

“Uh, uh! Goodbye!”

Have we reached the place where we can part ways? He waved his hand and walked away.

Yerin Jeong opened her diary.

When she writes in her diary, she records only days with memorable and enjoyable events.

Therefore, unlike an ordinary diary, her diary does not record every day.

Also, it is full of only enjoyable things.

Rather than a diary… it’s a memory book. Wouldn’t that word be more appropriate?

She picked up a pen and started writing in her diary.

Going out with my younger brother.

The gifts we exchanged, the happy smile of my younger brother.

When I think back on today, laughter comes naturally.

And Choi Do-hyun came to mind one after another.

“Ha…”

Her younger brother seemed to have a great deal of favor towards Choi Do-hyeon.

Personally, I didn’t want to become closer to Choi Do-hyun.

She saw what Choi Do-hyun had done over the past time.

No matter how much I helped Ye-eun in passing, wasn’t it enough to repay her by spending time with her at the arcade?

‘bully…’

I couldn’t allow my younger brother to be treated like that by a bully.

Isn’t it everyone’s wish for their family to meet a good person and be happy?

Of course, I know that I have no right to intervene in my younger brother’s personal relationships. You’re not a child, and if you’re a high school student, you’re old enough to take care of your own relationships.

Still, she cared for her younger brother.

She was ready to pretend to be a villain for her younger brother.

-Percussion

She closed the diary and turned off the fluorescent light.

As she lay down on the bed with her phone in hand, a soft mattress greeted her.

[Yerin, what are you doing?]

There was a message on her cell phone from her boyfriend, Kim Ha-ram.

Her face, which had been frowning just a moment ago, straightened up in an instant.

With a bright smile, she stayed in touch with her lover for a while.

After a while, she added the previous incident to her diary.

A fun conversation with my beloved boyfriend.
