Dyed blonde hair and slightly tanned skin.

Choi Su-yeon, who is truly the stereotype of a light novel gyaru, was one of the second-year girls at Jinsu High School.

However, Choi Su-yeon was a little different from the other Iljin girls.

Unlike the group of third-year students, including Han Seong-jin, and the first to third-year students who filmed Animal Kingdom, Soo-yeon Choi never crossed a certain line.

If you think back on what was described in the original work, she does hang out with other Iljin girls, but less often, and when other Iljin friends step into the 19+ zone, she is always absent for one reason or another.

There was no description of him bullying other students, nor was he in a position to do so.

He didn’t drink or smoke, and he was popular enough to be the number one ‘junior you’d want to date’ among the male group, but even though he seemed light-hearted, his stubborn side was often revealed.

Naturally, Sooyeon Choi likes Gong Youngbae, the original protagonist of Love in School.

However, to put all of that to shame, one day, when she had no choice but to hang out at an Iljin gathering, Han Seong-jin caught her eye and forced her to eat her. After that, Choi Soo-yeon’s ending was as I know.

Of course, I have no intention of doing such a forced thing now, so Soo-yeon Choi is still leading a very different life from the rest of the group.

In the end, no one in the story knew why she, who had different basic tendencies from the other Iljin friends, hung out with the Iljin group.

Because it was depicted only through Choi Su-yeon’s monologue.

But I know the reason, and I also know the secret that Sooyeon Choi is hiding.

When we met in an unexpected place, Soo-yeon Choi looked at me with an expression that was both surprising and intimidating.

“Huh? Do you two know each other?”

In a moment of awkward silence, only the convenience store manager, who had no idea what was going on, looked at me and Choi Su-yeon in turn and tilted his head.

Choi Soo-yeon was the first to break the silence.

“Yes, you are a third-year senior at our academy… You say you work part-time in the afternoons?”

“Okay. Are you Suyeon Choi, a second year student? Please take care of me.”

Choi Su-yeon clearly had a nervous expression for a moment at first, but she smiled brightly as if she had never done that before and began to control her expression.

“Yes! I feel much more at ease because someone I know is here! Please take care of yourselves in the future, Senpai!”

Perhaps because of her natural acting skills, Choi Soo-yeon instantly changed her expression and smiled at me even in front of me, who I didn’t really like.

The manager, unaware of the circumstances, was just happy to have a new worker.

“Oh, I’m glad. It was hard to have just one girl in a place like this, so I was helping her with the work, but I was also a little tired. Oh, and Mr. Han Seong-jin… you said? No, since we will be working together from now on, I will speak comfortably?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Then Seongjin will learn to work from Suyeon starting today. Soo-yeon organizes and tells me what to do. If you don’t know, ask me. The store manager will bring the contract tomorrow, so you can check the contents again and sign it. Don’t forget your health certificate.”

“Yes, manager.”

After that, while the manager was manning the counter, Suyeon Choi and I walked around the inside of a fairly large convenience store and received training on what to do.

Of course, most of them were things we all knew.

While the work training continued, we moved to a distance where it was difficult for the manager to hear our conversation, and it was only then that Suyeon Choi brought up topics other than work.

“I didn’t expect to see Seongjin here.”

“I didn’t know you worked here part-time.”

“And I even didn’t know that my senior knew about me.”

When I think about the future lives of Han Seong-jin and Choi Su-yeon that I saw, I smiled bitterly.

The day Han Seong-jin learned of Choi Soo-yeon’s existence, she lost her virginity.

“Why did you think I wouldn’t care about anything else? You go around with Jeong Ji-ah.”

“Wow… you really remembered. Seniors, there were many times when I wasn’t around when playing with Jia, so I thought you wouldn’t remember.”

“Why did you want me to remember you?”

“Um, I don’t know?”

Choi Soo-yeon smiled an unknown smile.

In fact, I didn’t really like hanging out with such a group of people, but when I saw Choi Soo-yeon making an expression of regret that she couldn’t hang out with them, I realized once again that the woman’s acting skills were scary.

I knew that the reason he was showing such a moderate attitude towards me now was not because he liked me, but because he simply did not want to cause conflict.

This time, I asked Suyeon Choi a question from my side.

“But it’s strange. How are you doing your part-time job while being a second year student? Part-time jobs probably don’t accept minors.”

flinch!

Suyeon Choi’s shoulders momentarily shrank, and she began rolling her eyes here and there.

Of course, it didn’t matter what Sooyeon Choi answered because I knew the secret, but it was necessary in order to set up a net to make her mine from now on.

“Ahaha, there are some circumstances, so I told the academy separately. There’s no problem, so don’t worry about it…”

“What if something happens to a 2nd grade girl working part-time in a place like this where the neighborhood is not very safe? If it’s because money is tight, I’ll ask Yuri to check. They said they could submit it as an agenda item for a faculty and staff meeting to ask for support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds-”

I deliberately referred to her by only her first name, ‘Yuri,’ to emphasize that I was very close to her.

And as I expected, Sooyeon Choi…

“Oh, no!”

He jumped up and stopped me.

“What’s going on there?”

“It’s nothing, manager!”

Suyeon Choi hesitated, took a deep breath and looked at me.

“Senior. I’m working part-time here… Can’t you tell the academy?”

“Why, is there something you can’t say?”

“Woman, it’s a woman’s secret! You probably have a secret or two about your girl that you can’t tell anyone, right? It’s not careful to try to find out all that!”

I looked around, but the reason is obvious.

The group that Sooyeon Choi usually hangs out with is the second-year Iljin girls.

According to the description in the original work, when Choi Soo-yeon and her group of Iljin girls hung out with our Jinsugyo or other Iljin men’s groups from other academies, she would usually leave out, citing reasons such as ‘going on a date with a college student’s boyfriend’ or ‘going to Papakatsu with an office worker.’

In reality, he was using that excuse to work part-time or meet Gong Young-bae secretly.

However, they are concerned that if this fact becomes known to their gang, they may be filmed for no reason.

‘And there might be an age issue.’

While controlling my facial expression, I looked at Choi Soo-yeon and answered.

“Then what will you do if I keep the secret?”

“Me? Umm…”

Suyeon Choi answered by moving her ponytail in front of her shoulder and twisting her fingers.

“Ah, yes! Senior Seongjin, you said ‘Yuri’ earlier, right? Are you talking about the student council president?”

“That’s right.”

“Wow! So, are these two people like that…?”

“We’re not in that kind of relationship yet.”

In response to that answer, Suyeon Choi conjured up an image in her head of two people who seemed completely incompatible, but suddenly had another thought.

‘It’s not like that yet…? So this means that at least one side is hoping for that to happen? uh…?’

Choi Soo-yeon secretly likes Gong Young-bae.

We also know that student council president Lee Yu-ri is childhood friends with Gong Young-bae and that they secretly care about each other.

At that moment, the corners of Choi Su-yeon’s mouth began to rise slightly.

‘Wait a minute, isn’t this an opportunity? If I do well, I think I can take down one person.’

Suyeon Choi quickly finished calculating and smiled brightly.

“Senior! I think I remembered something I can do for my senior in exchange for keeping it a secret!”

“Really? What is it?”

Suyeon Choi suddenly looks at me with a smile on her face.

Choi Soo-yeon is the type of person who works hard to keep her head down, so there’s no way she wouldn’t bite the bullet that I pretended not to notice.

“If you keep this secret, I will build a bridge between you and Yuri!”

‘I asked.’

When I saw Suyeon Choi swimming at full speed toward the net, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Are you going to connect me and him? how? Are you close with him?”

“We’re not close. Senior Yuri really hates people like me.”

“You know that.”

“Ha. But! Senior Yuri is also a woman after all! A woman knows her weaknesses well! A date course where I captivate a woman for the sake of two people’s love! Romantic place! restaurant! We can help you find out everything!

If you just trust me, I can be the bridge of love between two people!”

By connecting Choi Soo-yeon with me, he intends to eliminate a competitor, and also to divert attention from me, who is a shy person, so that people don’t pay attention to him for no reason.

It was an idea worthy of Choi Su-yeon, a smartass.

“Hmm, that’s a really good idea.”

“Hehe.”

Suyeon Choi proudly opened her breasts, sticking out her large breasts.

Some people may think that they have drawn the best net for me, but unfortunately, you are the one caught in the net. Not me.

“But, even if you tell me this and that, wouldn’t it be meaningless for me to go and find out on my own?”

“Of course! So, let’s go together with Yuri to the place I told you about and have some quality time together-”

“No, that’s not what I’m saying. I don’t know the road or what’s around me, so what can I do if you just point me to a few stores? It’s difficult to plan a date by yourself, but you can’t take Yuri right away. I don’t have much time because of student council work.”

“Ahaha, that’s right. But my senior, he was quite handsome and manly, so he pushed through that difficult obstacle with great force-”

“I need rehearsal.”

Suyeon Choi laughed and clapped lightly at my words.

“Aha, rehearsal! Yes, rehearsal is a good thing!”

“There must be someone to do it with you.”

“I guess so. Probably, if you ask any of the girls who often hang out with your senior, they will say -”

“I’ve already decided on someone to do rehearsals.”

“Oh my, it’s Seongjin as expected! There are girls who will come running whenever their senior calls them, and I am jealous.”

“You.”

“I thought so too! I think so too…”

Suyeon Choi, who had been listening to me half-heartedly and mechanically agreeing with me, belatedly understood the meaning of what I said and closed her mouth.

Then he tilted his head and looked at me.

“……?”

“?”

“Who… is helping me?”

“You.”

“…… Yes?!?!”
