episode_0005

I was walking around the academy grounds.

A forgotten nightmare from the past crept out and strangled my heart.

School days in my previous life.

He was taken to the gym by a female student from Iljin and beaten for an hour.

The trauma from that time has passed.

Seo Yi-eung walking side by side.

Because of the situation where I was alone with her.

‘This is why I didn’t want to be alone with pretty Iljin…’

Still, it was worth persevering.

I didn’t have a mental breakdown and seizure like I did in my previous life.

It seems true that time is medicine.

Or, it could be that his mind became stronger at the same time as he received a strong body from the Transcendent.

‘however···. ‘Why did he hit me then?’

Maybe on another day.

I didn’t do anything wrong that day.

It didn’t really bother me at all.

Time has passed and I still don’t know why.

Why on earth did Iljin abuse me back then?

‘···done. ‘What’s the point of finding out the reason now?’

I stopped thinking.

There probably wasn’t any particular reason anyway.

Because when she was in a bad mood, she would come up with a reason to bully her.

‘And let’s stop projecting the events of our past lives onto Seo Yi-eung. Even though he looks scary, he is a completely different person.’

Just looking at his appearance, he is definitely Iljin.

His behavior just feels like a gangster.

But the inside may be different from the outside.

A glance.

I secretly glanced at Seo Yi-eung.

He is chewing gum and staring straight ahead with an expression of annoyance about everything.

‘hmm···. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s any different on the inside. ‘I shouldn’t have any expectations.’

I looked away.

Because it’s dangerous to stare.

So we walked around the academy, looking at the guide map we received from the professor, maintaining an appropriate distance, and not having any conversation.

***

The academy was bigger than I imagined.

gym.

gym.

swimming pool.

Amenities, etc.

For a long 2 hours.

We visited various facilities without stopping for a moment.

When it is difficult to find your way using only a guide map.

I received help from guides stationed throughout the area.

Surprisingly, it was a well-organized academy.

“······.”

“······.”

Still silence.

It’s so awkward it’s to die for.

Still, it wasn’t bad.

It’s better to be awkward than to have a conversation.

I’m also getting used to being with Seo Yi-eung.

“Hey.”

Suddenly Seo Yi-eung called me.

After leaving the classroom.

It was the first time I opened my mouth.

“Let’s take a break and eat something before going to the training facility. It’s almost lunch time now.”

She pointed to the park with her finger.

I nodded.

I was already hungry.

For your information, our academy does not provide academic services, but there are a variety of restaurants.

Everywhere I went, I saw restaurants.

There are quite a few stores around here too.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it.”

Seo Yi-eung took out his wallet and asked.

That action almost traumatized me again.

I hate getting food from women.

The reason is, of course, trauma.

It was a nightmare in which a group of women forcibly bought him food and assaulted him, demanding that he be beaten for the amount he ate.

but.

“Anything.”

I didn’t say I was alive.

A situation might arise where they decide to buy each other food.

Arguing with women is a thing of the past.

“Anything? Are you a picky eater?”

“Yes.”

“Then can I buy pineapple pizza?”

“No.”

I was surprised and answered immediately.

I can’t believe you’re trying to buy trash instead of food.

As expected, she was a vicious woman.

“What is it? He told me to buy anything.”

“···Except pineapple pizza.”

Seo Yi-eung narrows his eyebrows and glares at me.

I was scared.

I looked away, pretending not to be scared.

“It’s hard not to be a picky eater… Then just buy a packed lunch?”

“Yes.”

I was glad it wasn’t a strange menu this time.

“I’ll get it soon, so I’m sitting on the park bench and waiting.”

Seo Yi-eung put his hands in his pockets.

I wandered into a nearby lunch box store.

The gait was also very poor.

***

A quiet park.

I was sitting on a bench and waiting blankly for Seo Yi-eung.

“Hello?”

“What are you doing here alone?”

Two women spoke to me.

These are the women who were sneaking glances at me just now.

For some reason, it felt like it was coming.

Bad premonitions are always wrong.

“Are you a freshman too?”

“Where did your partner go? Did you ever fight?”

They naturally sat down on either side of me.

Of course, they were both beautiful girls.

“The name is… ah. It’s Kang Ha-hwi. That’s a cool name.”

One of the female students said as she looked at my name tag.

And he continued to talk slyly.

“Ha-hwi, what class are you in?”

“···Class 3.”

With difficulty, I opened my mouth and answered.

Because I can’t ignore the question.

“Really? We are in class 5 and we are very close!”

“Wow. His voice is really good too.”

Cough.

They laugh and talk among themselves about what they like.

The laughter was cute.

The female students further narrowed the distance.

My heart was pounding so hard I felt like I was going crazy.

‘I’m going crazy. When will Seo Yi-eung come…?’

This never happened before.

There were women who were openly looking at me, but not all of them approached me quickly and started talking to me.

If you think about it now.

I think it was thanks to Seo Yi-eung, who was next to me.

He must have been unintentionally performing the role of gatekeeper.

I didn’t know that going with her would have actually been helpful.

That was when I realized the importance of Seo Yi-eung.

“Hey, if it’s okay, can you tell me your number…”

“What are you guys?”

A voice of salvation was heard.

Seo Yi-eung came back carrying a lunch box.

“Kang Ha-hwi. Kids you know?”

Seo Yi-eung asks, pointing at the female students with a gesture of his chin.

I shook my head at that question.

“If you don’t know each other, it’s called hunting…”

Seo Yi-eung looked at the two female students in turn.

The eyes were still cruel.

“Do you think this is some kind of hunting bar? If you don’t want to be rummaged, stop making noise and get out, you horny bitches.”

“What? Why is this crazy bitch swearing…”

“Hey, hey…!”

One female student stood up with an angry look on her face.

Then another female student hurriedly stopped her.

“Just let’s go…. Can’t you see the name tag? That’s Seo Yi-eung…”

“···Seo Eung? That gangster’s daughter?”

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.

A gangster’s daughter?

“Ah, over there… Sorry. We just thought he was lonely and lonely, so we wanted to take care of him…”

The female student who was about to get angry quickly changed her attitude.

“I’m really sorry…”

“Fa, let’s go quickly…”

Are you scared?

Female students who can’t even speak properly.

The two apologized repeatedly and left as if running away.

Seo Yi-eung.

To subjugate an opponent with just one name.

She was a scarier woman than I thought.

Seo Yi-eung looked pitifully at the backs of the female students, then turned his head to look at me.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

The polite word came out without me even realizing it.

It was a survival instinct.

“Why are you suddenly speaking politely?”

“Ah. By mistake…”

“What a strange guy. Anyway, I didn’t just make an unnecessary mistake, right?”

“Mistake?”

“No. If you were just enjoying the situation, I ended up interrupting it.”

“···It wasn’t a disruption. Thank you.”

I answered at quite a length.

I can’t say thank you half-heartedly.

It was more surprising than that.

I guessed that you weren’t the type of person to pay attention to such details.

Contrary to appearances, his consideration may be deeper.

“Really? Well then, I’m glad. As expected, the woman…”

Seo Yi-eung trailed off as he spoke.

When I looked at him curiously from the corner of my eye, Seo Yi-eung scratched his head and half-heartedly held out his lunch box.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

“Yes.”

Seo Yi-eung sat next to me.

So we started eating in silence.

The menu was an ordinary crispy bulgogi lunch box.

***

After finishing the meal.

Seo Yi-eung left the room for a moment, saying he was going to the bathroom.

I was left alone and was taking a walk in the park.

Then, by chance, I found a cute little cat.

“Nyaowong.”

A kitten trembling all over and raising its tail.

Insanely cute.

I was robbed of attention and froze in my seat.

“Nyaan?”

The cat found me too.

The cat approached me with long strides.

and.

“Nyaan!”

He started rubbing his face against my leg.

What a cat.

happy.

I feel like my heart is being healed.

The tension that had persisted since entering the academy was relieved, and the stiff muscles in my face melted away.

“Meow! Nyana!”

A cat’s fatal affection.

I want to pet it right now.

Because it’s not often you get the chance to pet a stray cat to your heart’s content.

‘No one will see it, right?’

First, I looked around.

There was no one nearby.

After confirmation.

I squatted down and stroked the cat’s back endlessly.

*

“Hehehe.”

I don’t even notice how time passes.

He was smiling stupidly and petting the cat.

Sigh.

A human shadow appeared on the ground.

Surprised, I stopped my action.

With his expression set, he slowly raised his head and looked up.

“······.”

Seo Yi-eung was looking down at me with a shocked face.
