“A will……?”

Seo Jae-hyeok, who had been sitting still, called her name in a tone of disbelief. To anyone who knew who Yoo Seo-ra was, her current appearance would have been surprising, and at the same time, it would have been surprising to actually be able to hear her voice, so it was only natural.

Slowly, the surroundings began to become noisy. It seemed like the students were chatting because it was strange that Yusera had entered their class.

“Huh? Can’t you hear me?”

The will itself was glaring at me with a pointed expression as if it was dissatisfied with the current situation. I couldn’t even react properly and just stared straight ahead with a blank expression.

With an intimidating air, Yoo Seol-ra slowly takes a step towards me. I, too, try to take a step back at the sight, but am suddenly blocked by the desk.

“Huh?”

Her expression, which had been cute when she was a little angry, gradually became fiercer. No, is this really all that bad? Isn’t she too angry? I opened my mouth right away, thinking that if I stayed still, I would die.

“No. Can you hear me?”

Yu Seo-ra, who let out a hollow laugh as if she found my shameless answer absurd, took another step forward and opened her mouth.

“If you hear it, you must answer.”

“I was thinking about it.”

“So, have you finished thinking about it now?”

“Uh.”

“Then tell me.”

“Actually I didn’t think about it, sorry.”

At those words, Yusera took a step closer than before. Somehow, I felt like I would die if I allowed her to get any further away, so I quickly changed my words.

“Wait a minute. But studying is my freedom.”

At those words, he suddenly stares at me with a blank expression. He takes a step closer to me, full of murderous intent.

“You call that a promise? Even though you promised?”

“Can’t you do it?”

“Yes.”

“Shuva.”

I really don’t want to do it.

“Let’s go back to class quickly. Since our grade hasn’t had time yet and we can’t go into the cafeteria, we can just wait while studying.”

“No. Wait a minute!”

I quickly pulled my wrist away from being grabbed.

“Why?”

“I haven’t heard back yet!”

So you can’t go yet!

It’s okay to at least hear an answer!

I turned my head again and looked at Seo Jae-hyuk.

“Jaehuk, what I’m saying is, how about we become friends? I think it’d be great.”

I asked Seo Jae-hyuk again with a smile. Only then did Seo Jae-hyuk come to his senses and act as if he was surprised.

“Uh, yeah? So. Chi, buddy?”

“Uh. Why? You don’t like it?”

To be honest, if you say it so forcefully, no one will be able to refuse. Because if you do, the person who refuses will know that it will be quite embarrassing, and above all, there is no reason to refuse. To be honest, in reality, friends are not something that you become by asking to be friends. You just talk to each other, exchange phone numbers, and at some point, you become friends.

Of course, I didn’t have many kids like that.

It just wasn’t there.

Anyway, I’m trying to force myself to become friends with Seo Jae-hyuk by saying it in a way that no one can refuse. Seo Jae-hyuk was making a face with a troubled expression mixed with an expression that seemed like he didn’t know what was going on.

“Just answer one question.”

“Question?”

suddenly?

What question?

“What is your relationship with Yuseo that you hang out together?”

At those words, I realized, “Aha!” Well, at that time, Seo Jae-hyeok liked Yoo Seo-ra, right? Later on, he even rejected her normal affection, but when I think about it, it’s funny.

I tried to answer that question with a smile, but ended up closing my mouth. Thinking about it, are Yu Seo-ra and I really friends? Am I the only one who thinks that way? In fact, I’m not sure what to say, and since Yu Seo-ra is right next to me anyway, it would be better to just ask her.

“What’s going on between us?”

“Is that so?”

Even the will seemed a little ambiguous. She tilted her head and thought about it before opening her mouth.

“Friend.”

“That’s right.”

He turned his head towards Seo Jae-hyuk again and spoke.

I don’t know if this answer will satisfy Seo Jae-hyeok, but anyway, that’s what it was. Still, it seems like we’re at least friends. I felt somewhat relieved.

“Chi, buddy?”

Of course, Seo Jae-hyuk is there, stammering with a look of disbelief.

“You’re my friend… I can’t believe it.”

He must know a lot about Yoo Seo-ra, so he must find it even more unbelievable. I understand. Honestly, I never thought it would be possible.

“So? We’re friends now?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. Hey, buddy.”

“Okay. Then let’s be friends from now on, Jaehyuk.”

I said with a smile. Seo Jae-hyuk also didn’t understand the current situation, but he was still happy to have made a friend and was laughing with me.

“Okay, let’s go now.”

“What the fuck.”

I had no choice but to leave the class, dragged out by Yusera.

As I came out into the hallway, I was practically being dragged along by Yusera.

“My fate.”

“What is the courtesy to someone who helps you?”

“No. Don’t you want to ignore a kid who can’t study like this? Why are you like that?”

He has such intelligence that even people who like teaching things would give up.

“I feel like I have a bad habit. I thought it would be good to teach something to someone who can’t learn like this.”

Was that so? Well, it was amazing that he came. In the original work, he occasionally tried to force himself to do things that didn’t need to be done. I realized it again.

“Oh my.”

I sighed. Then I stopped walking casually and started walking properly. As I was walking in silence, a sudden curiosity occurred to me.

“But what did you think about him earlier?”

I was curious as to what Seo Jae-hyeok would think of the will before his return.

“Just, I don’t really think about it?”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

That’s exactly it. It was as expected. I thought maybe there was some kind of connection in the past. It seems like it wasn’t.

I also asked another question.

“But, what is your ideal type?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“I’m just curious.”

In fact, I had to consider the possibility that Seo Jae-hyuk himself was a perfect fit for her ideal type, so I had to investigate why Yoo Seo-ra liked Seo Jae-hyuk within the limits of what I could find out.

“I’ll tell you first.”

“Again?”

“You asked first.”

“Well, okay.”

My ideal type.

“I’m just okay with anything if it’s pretty and my personality matches.”

“Is that so?”

“Oh. And it’s even better if it’s cute.”

Actually, I don’t really have an ideal type. I have no intention of dating or marrying anyone, so how could there be such a thing?

“So, you?”

“I like black hair.”

“Black?”

Seo Jae-hyuk obviously had brown hair, right? He was eliminated from there? Then why do you really like him?

Why else?

“Why?”

“Just, yeah. I think it’s because I’m white.”

I don’t think it means that much.

“And?”

“I wish I was a more confident person. Not someone who squats down.”

Looking at Seo Jae-hyuk now, it’s not just that he’s not confident, he’s always crouching in the corner? He’s timid and not good at standing up in front of others? No, I don’t understand him even more.

“And I wish you were taller than me.”

The heights of Yoo Seo-ra and Seo Jae-hyeok are almost the same in the setting. Because of that, they were sometimes teased in the original work. It’s a pity that Seo Jae-hyeok is the same height as a woman. But he has the looks to chew it up, so it doesn’t matter, right? Above all, since he has someone he likes anyway, it seems like he doesn’t need to worry about such things. Suddenly, I’m envious, but I’m not jealous.

”More than anything, I think it would be better if our personalities matched. If we didn’t, I think I’d feel frustrated.“

”Is that so?“

”Yes, I don’t really care about my appearance.“

I nodded at those words, but I still had a question.

First of all, then the reason you really like Seo Jae-hyuk is not because of your ideal type? On the contrary, if you only consider your ideal type, I would be more suitable. I don’t know if I’m taller and more confident than Yoo Seo-ra with black hair, but I’m better than Seo Jae-hyuk. And since we’re hanging out together now, I think our personalities are right.

‘Then it’s certain that something happened before the regression.’

It’s so frustrating not knowing that. It makes me so annoyed.

”But why did you ask that?“

”I asked because we were friends anyway, so I wanted to get to know you better.’

It may have sounded like nonsense, but since Yusera had no friends, he would understand because he didn’t know what was wrong.

“Yeah, I guess so.”

Perhaps because there were many parts that didn’t make sense, I could see that he was trying to force himself to understand. I found that cute and funny, and it made me feel quite good.

When we returned to the classroom, we started studying again.

“Okay, if we use this formula…….”

“Oh my god~ Please save me~”

Of course, I’m half-mad.

*

Lunch was very delicious. Beyond being edible, the meal was so satisfying that I wondered if it was okay for me to eat so much. It was as delicious as eating a whole chicken.

When I returned to the classroom, I could see that no one was there. It seemed like the kids had gone somewhere else.

‘The will was still being eaten.’

I had freedom, but when I thought about it, I realized there was nothing I could do.

‘I can’t do anything yet.’

In order to get things like a chance or a hidden piece, Yusera must first return. Because only Yusera, who has returned, knows about the chance that I can go and get.

‘Or find the villains inside the school in advance?’

Honestly, this was annoying, but since the returning Yusera would take care of everything anyway, it didn’t matter. The other things were the same. Munchkin Yusera would take care of everything. The main character was just a few students who weren’t 100% surefire villains, but rather a bit of a brat who just had to be beaten up and teased.

Then, kill some monsters.

That was the feature of this novel. The heroine was not a munchkin, but the protagonist was a munchkin. The incident where Yu Seo-ra started to act without any reason was only in the latter half.

As for the villains and extremely evil villains on campus, if you leave them alone, everything will work out for Yusera.

‘He’s the main character, but he’s not the main character.’

Knock knock.

While I was lying on my desk with my mind wandering, someone came in with a knock on the door. I raised my head, thinking it was Yu Se-ra, but there was a completely different person, but one I had to pay attention to.

“Seo Jae-hyuk?”

Why this kid?

“Oh, hello.”

Seo Jae-hyuk approached me with a friendly smile. Watching his light yet heavy footsteps, I wondered why.

“Come to think of it, it’s because you didn’t tell me your name.”

Oh, now that you mention it, is that so?

“Sorry. I guess I got a little excited. I’ll tell you now.”

“Okay. Please.”

“I am Kim Seo-jin.”

“I know you know, but it’s Seo Jae-hyuk. Please take care of me.”

He seemed to have calmed down to some extent, and he was naturally talking to me. On the contrary, he seemed happy just to be talking. Well, if you think about the original, he probably hadn’t been able to talk to anyone until I came.

And after the last class today, the bullying started. When I think about it, I feel bad for him too.

“Actually, I’m glad this is my first time making friends.”

Oh, that’s definitely true. He said he was bullied a lot in elementary school and middle school. His life must have been really hard.

If you think about the original ending, it really sucks. I felt like a dog too.

“I came here because I wanted to be friends with you.”

“Oh. Thank you.”

There was a brief moment of silence. I opened my mouth because I felt that if I stayed still, an awkwardness that I couldn’t ignore would creep in.

“Well, let’s talk.”

“Conversation? Oh, I see.”

“First of all, what do you like?”

“Me, me?”

“Uh.”

Who else but you?

“Let me be the first to say, I like reading novels.”

Fantasy is a secret.

“You’re really smart.”

“No, that’s not true.”

Reading fantasy doesn’t make you smarter.

“Hmm, what I like is…….”

I know what Seo Jae-hyuk likes. I’ve always seen the events around him from Seo Jae-hyuk’s perspective, and I’ve also read his personal thoughts on them. I can say that I know Seo Jae-hyuk better than the will after his return.

So I waited happily, thinking in advance what answer I would give.

“I like Yoo Seo Ra.”

“……Huh?”

No, why is he there?
