Our middle school is more free than Yaga expected.

Naturally, talking was prohibited, but students could decide their seating arrangement.

If you select a fixed seat in advance, you can sit on a first-come, first-served basis.

And, if you were on that first-come, first-served basis, you could be in a room with other grades.

‘I never thought I would grow palm trees.’

Kim Ho-yeon.

He was a man who had never studied hard in his life.

Although he maintained average grades due to his natural intelligence, he did not like studying like other children.

That’s why you set aside time from studying to sleep? Something I could never have imagined.

But now he was in the study room.

To grow palm trees. And three times a week!

The reason was simple.

[Haryeong: Senior, are you sleepy?]

Jin Ha-ryeong, a second-year junior, asks this question in a text message while looking at Hoyeon from the side. An elegant beauty with black hair and dark eyes.

He did it to be with her.

To be honest, it was so sudden that even if it was impulsive, there wasn’t much to say. Because it was right.

Even in his opinion, the decision to do this palm tree was quite impulsive.

Not long ago, it was the palm application period. Jin Ha-ryeong applied for Yaja, and if he hadn’t asked her to join him, he wouldn’t have paid any attention.

[Me: A little..? Still, it’s worth holding on]

[Haryeong: You can’t sleep.]

[Me: I won’t sleep.]

Sleepy. I was so sleepy that I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I collapsed right now.

Maybe it was because I went to bed a little late last night, but I didn’t feel tired today because I went to bed late last night.

But it was impossible to sleep with Haryeong right next to you.

How funny would it be to immediately jump to the topic of not sleeping around?

He smiled faintly at Ha-ryeong, who was smiling faintly at him next to him, and turned his attention to the workbook.

And of course.

The problem didn’t enter my head.

‘You must have studied before.’

Honestly, this workbook? I bought it on impulse when I started working.

Although I was solving the problem by studying it, it was natural that I got stuck at times because I didn’t know how to study.

You must have studied outside of school hours.

He looked at the problems for a moment, then turned his head to the side and looked at Haryeong, who was concentrating on the workbook.

‘…You study hard.’

Haryeong studied hard. So much so that the second year of middle school has already done good deeds in high school matters.

I knew that her dream was art. I also knew my major.

So when I asked that question, the answer I got was simple.

It would be good to do “. There is no need not to do it when you have time.”

It was a story everyone knew.

But how many people really do that in reality?

If I think about it, it was like that when I first met Ha-ryeong.

The first time I met her was in the second semester of my second year. Midterm exam period.

When you have no choice but to pretend to study at the library under your parents’ orders.

It was the first time I met Haryeong.

“Can I help you?”

Ha-ryeong sat next to Ho-yeon and studied.

At that time, we didn’t talk to each other, we didn’t even know each other’s names, we were just sitting next to each other.

It was Haryeong who spoke first.

When he was lost in a difficult problem, Ha-ryeong, who had been quietly watching him, spoke first.

What did you reply at that time?

“…Oh? ..Uh, yes.. Thank you for your help..”

I think it was such a stupid thing to say.

Has Hoyeon himself ever shown such a foolish side when dealing with people?

At least nothing came to mind.

It was the first time she showed such foolish behavior.

“Puhuh…”

And when she laughed at his reaction.

Hoyeon’s face turned red, and his heart was beating strongly.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I know it very well now.

Love at first sight.

He was not dull in love, and was a person who could face his own feelings directly.

Even though he was clumsy, Hoyeon was not unaware of that feeling.

I like Ha-ryeong, it was a feeling and thought that continued from then until now.

‘…Let’s not sleep.’

And that’s probably why I’m making an effort to study a little bit now.

The person I like studies so hard, but playing alone is… a bit uncool, isn’t it?

With that in mind, I was trying to focus on my studies again.

Suddenly, Haryeong, who was sitting next to him, got up and went outside.

“….?”

The moment I was about to get up, wondering if I should chase after this unexpected situation, I received a text message on my cell phone.

[Haryeong: Don’t come out, I’ll be in right away.]

[Me: Where are you going?]

[Haryeong: I’m going to buy a special medicine for my senior.]

[Me: Special medicine…?]

There was no reply, but I could guess what it was.

Isn’t it something that has a stimulating effect, like coffee or energy drinks?

‘If that’s the case, shouldn’t I go along?’

Wouldn’t it be a bit strange if I buy something to eat and I don’t go?

I thought about that for a moment, but it seemed a bit much for me to just follow him when he told me not to follow him.

‘Shall I give you something?’

Even so, I stayed like this and did nothing.

You have to give something.

But what can I give you right now?

‘…Should I at least fold the crane?’

Just thinking about quitting school made me laugh, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn’t such a bad thing.

There’s nothing I can give you here.

I’m quite good at origami.

It’s been a while since I decided to quit. Thinking like that, he tore open a page of his notebook and immediately folded it up.

Hoyeon was quite good at origami. No, if you put in a little effort, you can fold it really well.

When I was in my second year of middle school, I once clung to my child for a week and folded a dragon.

For him, cranes were easy.

‘I’d like to fold something else up later.’

Something like a phoenix roughly the size of two human faces combined.

With that in mind, he gave up his studies without hesitation. It wasn’t long before I was able to complete it.

About 15 minutes passed like that.

Haryeong returned to the study room.

Knock knock-

Haryeong pats Ho-yeon on the shoulder.

When I turned my head to her touch, she smiled slightly and placed two of the three cans of coffee in her arms for me.

Two cans of coffee that still look cool.

Ho-yeon looked at him for a moment and then grabbed her cell phone and sent a text message to Ha-ryeong.

[Me: Two each?]

[Haryeong: Don’t sleep, I don’t even know what flavor you like.]

[Me: Anything goes for coffee.]

One is black and the other is vanilla.

It seemed like he just said he didn’t know what flavor he liked and just bought two.

He looked at the can of coffee for a moment, then took out the crane he had placed in the corner and handed it to her.

It’s a fairly large origami crane the size of a palm, probably because it’s made from an entire notebook.

He sent a text message again to Haryeong, who looked suspicious about the paper crane.

[Me: It’s okay to just receive coffee in return.]

[Haryeong: It’s okay. This time, I’m just buying it for you.]

[Me: I became a senior, but that’s a bit]

Ha-ryeong smiles slightly at Ho-yeon’s text message and lifts the crane to observe.

she was beautiful

It was a different beauty from Riya.

While Riya was a cold-hearted beauty with an idiotic charm that seemed a bit vicious, Ha-ryeong had a temperate beauty.

Although she looks like a girl of an average age, she has stubborn lines in some parts.

That’s why the smile she showed was so beautiful.

‘..driving me crazy.’

Hoyeon blushed at the sight of Haryeong like that and turned his face to the other side so that she couldn’t see him.

[Haryeong: Thank you, I like origami]

[Me: Do you like origami?]

[Haryeong: Yes, I’m not good at folding it, but]

[Me: I will fold it up later and give it to you, in a phoenix form]

“Puhuh…”

My face is red and my mind is not working properly.

study? Of course, there was no way it could be seen.

There is someone next to me who I can give my full attention to. I couldn’t focus on studying.

My heart is pounding and pounding, almost to the point of appealing for my own existence.

The sound was loud enough to worry that Haryeong might hear it.

I opened the can of coffee and drank it, but honestly, I wasn’t sure if the can of coffee went into my nose or my mouth.

No matter what he did, his nerves went to the side.

‘I’m not good at studying…’

As expected, he ended up solving four more problems by the end of the night.

but.

I didn’t sleep.

Ha-ryeong even gave her coffee to stop her from sleeping, but it was impossible for her to sleep there.

With that firm will, he did not fall asleep at all even though he dozed off.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After the palm tree was over, Ho-yeon and Haryeong left the palm room and went to school.

Haryeong says that to him.

“It’s no big deal.”

“I know you hate studying, senior.”

“…I can’t deny it.”

Ha-ryeong smiled brightly at my words and then handed me something.

It’s none other than crane-shaped paper.

It seemed a little smaller than the one I gave you earlier.

“It’s been a while since I folded it, so I’m not sure if it’s folded properly.”

As she said, it was a bit sloppy compared to his.

But nothing like that was noticeable to him now. Just because she gave him this made his heart race.

He carefully put the paper crane in his pocket and said to her with a smile.

“Next time, I’ll fold the paper really big.”

“Larger?”

“Yes. Enough to fit four human heads.”

“I don’t know if there’s a place for that in the house.”

So the two walked together.

And during that time walking together, the two of you became more than you thought.

happy.
