episode_0018

I returned to my class first before class started.

I decided to wait for class time, thinking that even if it was a will, it would come after some time. I was sleepy for various reasons, so I wasn’t sure if I could endure it.

Still, I had no choice but to endure it because I hated it.

*

Yoo Soo-ho stood in the chairman’s office, lost in thought.

‘I still don’t know.’

How he realized that it was him, and what kind of person he was, were facts that could not be known just by thinking about them.

‘How above all’

How did he know his own personality?

Did they know each other before? That couldn’t be true. If they did, how could they not remember? At least, they could have known right away just by looking at the atmosphere.

So did you get the information through someone? It was possible, but even so, it would be difficult.

Do you just have some special ability or something?

‘That can’t be true.’

If that were the case, he would have mentioned me from the first time we met.

There’s no need to say it now.

‘Or was there a reason?’

Originally, I would have just ignored it, but I had to say something because of something.

He said that there was a reason he didn’t know about.

“Sigh.”

Yoo Soo-ho threw the papers he was holding onto the desk.

The information written on the paper was about Kim Seo-jin and there was nothing special about it.

‘No, orphans aren’t ordinary.’

I thought with a smirk.

Yoo Soo-ho, unable to come to a reasonable conclusion, turned his head towards the door.

‘Do I have to take off my shoes and jump in?’

This was really difficult, to the point where I had to do it myself. I was uncomfortable in many ways because I had so little information to think about.

‘My pride is hurt.’

On a general topic.

No, in fact, isn’t he not an ordinary person? His mind was so rigid that he even had such doubts.

dripping.

I was deep in thought when someone knocked on the door and woke me up.

– Can I come in?

“Okay, come in.”

With a squeak, the sound of rusty, hard iron being dragged, Lee Ju-hyuk came in.

“So, what was Kim Seo-jin’s answer?”

Yoo Soo-ho ordered Lee Joo-hyuk to ask him how he found out that the woman was the CEO. Of course, he didn’t expect him to answer, but he just ordered him to see how he would react.

“There was nothing special about it. If I had to say, I had no intention of hiding anything.”

“You said you had no intention of hiding it?”

When he heard that, Yoo Soo-ho couldn’t help but think a lot.

Does that mean that a bet with yourself is so insignificant? Something that no one cares about or cares about.

I was momentarily dumbfounded.

Of course, he himself sees this incident as nothing more than mere entertainment.

What he found out was special, but there had to be a way to do it. It didn’t really matter if he didn’t have a way to find out.

But is that the same for Kim Seo-jin?

‘What do you want?’

No, maybe you think there’s no way you can find a way.

In a word, you are being conceited.

‘So you’re saying you’re not anxious?’

It wouldn’t be a lie to say that he has a product. There must be something that is precious to him to some extent.

But apart from that, I didn’t think I would lose from the beginning. It was truly absurd.

‘Who dares to show off?’

A hollow laugh escaped.

“Lee Joo-hyuk. Keep an eye on Kim Seo-jin. And if he breaks the rules, just let it go for the most part.”

“Yes?”

“Why don’t you like it?”

“No.”

“Okay. Then let’s go in.”

Lee Ju-hyuk went to the door and came out of the room without saying anything.

‘Kim Seo-jin. I will continue to watch you.’

For some reason, Yoo Soo-ho naturally began to think that she resembled him.

*

It’s lunch time.

I just sat there with my head down on my desk. I was a little hungry, but I couldn’t eat.

“No, what the fuck, why is there meat and all this crap.”

At first, I thought it wouldn’t matter. I moved to the cafeteria, but the sight of the red meat side dish there made me lose my appetite.

I lost my appetite, so I went back to the class.

To be honest, I was a bit sleepy, but honestly, I didn’t feel like sleeping.

‘Because tomorrow is the real thing anyway.’

From the next day onwards, I will somehow use the original information to gather my colleagues. Since it is something I have to do even if I don’t want to do, I am simply resting for now.

Knock knock.

While I was just sitting there, resting my chin on my hand, someone opened the door and came in. It wasn’t that strange for someone to come in, but since it was Seo Jae-hyuk, I couldn’t help but notice it.

‘What? Why is he here?’

As I stared at Seo Jae-hyeok with a simple question in my mind, he seemed to sense my gaze and walked towards me.

“Haha, hello. I came here to avoid Sera.”

It must have been too much of a burden, considering that kind-hearted Seo Jae-hyuk ran away.

In fact, in the original work, Seo Jae-hyeok never went anywhere to avoid Yoo Seo-ra. The reason for this is, of course, because he had no place to go and no friends who could do so.

But now it seems like he came here because I am his friend.

I hesitated for a moment about what to say, then opened my mouth with a smirk.

“Why, you said you liked Yusera, shouldn’t you be happy about it instead?”

“Oh, no. This is too much. No matter how much I like Sera, this is too much.”

“Yes.”

In the original, Seo Jae-hyeok was initially confused by the fact that Yoo Seo-ra was different from the Yoo Seo-ra he knew. In particular, he even wondered if he really liked her because she was the Yoo Seo-ra he liked who didn’t care about others and treated them indifferently.

To that extent, it was predictable that Seo Jae-hyeok’s mind would be in a state of disarray in many ways right now.

Seo Jae-hyuk showed a purely awkward smile and then spoke to me.

“Seo Jin-ah, you didn’t eat lunch?”

“Uh. I’m not that hungry. How was lunch today?”

“It was pretty good. It was edible.”

Well, everything was delicious when I had lunch last time, so it would be delicious this time too.

It was a natural logic.

“But even if you’re not hungry, it’s not good to starve. It’d be better to eat something, even if it’s just a little. Do you want to go to the cafeteria right now?”

When I said I was hungry, Seo Jae-hyuk made a worried expression and said,

Wow, you’re worried about the man.

It’s disgusting.

I hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to say, and then said:

“Not really.”

At my monotonous words, Seo Jae-hyeok scratched the back of his head and laughed again. He even felt a little frustrated.

I wonder what’s so good about laughing.

That was the moment.

Knock knock.

This time again, the sound of the door suddenly creaking was heard.

Seo Jae-hyuk and I immediately turned our heads to see who had come in and froze for a moment. Seo Jae-hyuk, in particular, looked shocked.

“Huh? Jaehyuk! You’re here!”

Yoo Seora ran towards Seo Jaehyuk with light steps. As soon as Yoo Seora hugged him, Seo Jaehyuk’s face turned red and he made a troubled expression.

Are you guys pickling in front of me?

“Ahem!”

“Euaaa …

Oh my.

What am I doing now? Watching stuff like this.

I looked at the two of them, suppressing the urge to go out right away.

“Hehehe, but why did Jaehyuk come here?”

“Huh? Oh, that, that. That, what should I say?”

Seo Jae-hyeok stuttered and took a few steps back. Of course, he couldn’t move properly because he was sitting on the chair.

In the end, I opened my mouth first, thinking that I should help.

“He came to our class looking for you.”

He helped Seo Jae-hyuk by telling lies with some skill.

“Ma, that’s right! You, I came to see you!”

But since he can’t lie, he’ll get caught.

Anyway, I helped.

I think the impression I got was better.

“Hmm, I see! Jaehyuk wanted to see me too!”

“Yeah, right.”

“Hehe.”

The expression on her face, which had been brightly smiling, suddenly hardened, and Yoo Seo-ra put her lips next to Seo Jae-hyeok’s ear with a serious expression.

Even though it was a whisper, the voice reached me.

“Lies.”

For a moment, I got goosebumps even though he wasn’t talking to me. It was as if something creepy was going to make my body shiver.

“Oh, no. That, that’s not it. I just.”

“Why did you lie?”

I guess he lied because he didn’t want to get in trouble with you.

“Huh? Why did you do that? Why did you lie to me?”

“I, I’m sorry. Please forgive me just this once. I won’t do it again.”

Seo Jae-hyuk was actually shaking and begging for forgiveness. He felt sorry for some reason because it seemed like helping in his own way made the situation worse.

But I just watch because I know it will be resolved somehow.

“Okay, okay. I forgive you. I didn’t come to see Jaehyuk this time.”

“Uh, huh?”

what?

You didn’t come here to meet Seo Jae-hyuk? Then why did you come here? Is there a hidden piece here?

While I was wondering for a moment, something was placed on the desk and I heard the sound of a plastic bag.

what?

“Sleep.”

Yuseo looked at me and spoke confidently. He must have been speaking to me because he was clearly speaking formally.

I said it with that in mind.

“What?”

“Bread and water. I bought this for you because you seemed to have skipped lunch.”

uh?

wait for a sec.

“Then you came to see me?”

“What, right? Why is that?”

That’s because it’s weird.

Why do you care about me?

“What, is that weird?”

“Honestly?”

“Okay, then keep thinking weird.”

Then, he opened the envelope containing the will and confirmed that there was indeed bread and water.

“Even if it’s hard, it’s better than starving, so eat it. Okay?”

“Oh, yeah.”

I couldn’t even open my mouth to say anything. It was as if I had stopped thinking, so I couldn’t actually move.

“Hey, you guys are still close.”

Seo Jae-hyuk, who was standing next to me, suddenly spoke with a soft smile.

“Hmm? Is Jaehyuk jealous? Haha! He’s cute!”

“What? Oh, no!”

“No~ Hmm!”

Looking at Yusera smiling brightly, I thought.

It seems that he went to the store himself to buy food, showing consideration in many ways. I don’t understand why he was considerate of me, but it was easy to think about what to do.

First of all, it would be better to say thank you. It is true that it is largely the will that caused me to be in this state, but on the other hand, it has helped me think more proactively, so it would be better to show my gratitude.

“That, what is it? Thank you.”

I said it simply.

“No need to mention it. I just helped you because I had a hard time like this before.”

If it’s the past, it’s probably talking about the time before the regression.

“I’ll tell you again, even if you don’t want to eat it, eat it. Just close your eyes once and put it in your mouth. It’ll be fine.”

“Okay, I get it.”

He brought the bag in front of me and slowly took out the food.

“And sleep too. You know how dark circles are?”

“Okay, I’ll go to bed early today.”

It was a single word that was answered with sincerity.

“Then we will go now.”

“Okay, bye.”

I looked at Seo Jae-hyeok and Yoo Seo-ra and waved.

“Oh, yeah? That, Seo Jin-ah?”

Don’t expect help from me. I’m already being taken care of by Yoo Seo-ra, so why should I help you?

“Huh?”

Seo Jae-hyeok was dragged out of the classroom by Yoo Se-ra. I watched him expressionlessly, and I could feel the classroom becoming quiet again.

Since I was told to eat it, I simply took out some bread and put it in my mouth. It almost felt like eating toast, so it wasn’t very tasty, but on the contrary, I felt like I could eat it because of it.

If you feel it is gritty, you can also drink the water you brought with you while eating.

It was a pretty good time.
