Chapter Index

    The next morning.

    Jeong Ye-rin anxiously stood in front of the school gate.

    It was my first time waiting so anxiously for him.

    Finally, the blonde hair she had been waiting for caught her eye.

    “Hey, Choi Do-hyun!”

    “Oh, good morning.”

    “Not good morning! What did you do to my brother yesterday?”

    She suddenly asked a question that tormented her all night.

    However, Choi Do-hyeon was not the only one who heard the story.

    Students on their way to school, and members of the leadership team who were with Jeong Ye-rin.

    ‘Blonde bully’ ‘Doing something to his younger brother’ ‘Director who can’t keep his composure’

    It didn’t take long to come to a conclusion.

    That guy did something.

    The students’ whispers were sucked into Choi Do-hyeon’s ears.

    “Let’s talk later, during lunch.”

    “..Wait in class.”

    Choi Do-hyeon turned his back on her with his usual sly smile and slowly walked away.

    “Manager, what’s going on?”

    “No… nothing.”

    “Choi Do-hyeon, did you cause an accident again?”

    She responded appropriately to what the members said, while following his back with her eyes.

    **

    I was able to roughly predict what was going on.

    At least Ye-eun went home in a dazed state.

    Jeong Ye-rin, who saw me rambling, must have suspected me. Maybe my name came out of Jeong Ye-eun’s mouth…

    The important thing is that I have an excuse to be alone with her.

    On the contrary, I can say that it is good.

    Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open.

    “Ah, Dohyeon!”

    It was Jeong Ye-eun who welcomed me with a bright smile.

    Moon Jeong-woo was startled by his more friendly attitude than before.

    “When did you come?”

    “Before! On the way today – ”

    She started chattering like a mountain bird.

    Just hearing the voice was healing, so I just listened.

    Women’s voices have a unique crackling sound that makes me irritated when I hear them, and there are also voices that I want to wake me up every morning.

    Her voice was 100% the latter.

    Even though it wasn’t important, the voice was worth focusing on.

    “Yes, Yeeun!”

    And, as usual, it was Moon Jeong-woo’s voice that broke the friendly atmosphere between me and her.

    Well… he’s a consistent guy.

    Now he may be feeling it too.

    The fact that Jeong Ye-eun is gradually slipping out of his hands.

    We looked at him at the same time.

    “No…”

    Since I just said it because I didn’t like the atmosphere we were in, it didn’t seem like there was much of a topic.

    .

    .

    .

    Lunch hour.

    Yerin Jeong came straight to me.

    I sent Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo to go first because I have work to do.

    “Choi Do-hyeon!”

    “Yes.”

    “Now tell me. What happened.”

    Yerin Jeong asked urgently.

    I could see him desperately waiting for my answer.

    It must be a feeling of caring for your younger brother.

    “With Ye-eun?”

    “Okay.”

    “Didn’t he tell you?”

    “Because you didn’t do it, I’m doing this to you…!”

    “That’s right.”

    I lifted my finger and pointed to my cheek.

    “Here, can you see the band?”

    “Yeah… What, where did you get hurt?”

    “This, yesterday, near the one-room village – ”

    I relayed the events that happened yesterday with appropriate modifications.

    “Ah… I did…?”

    She nodded slowly, as if she understood everything.

    If we hadn’t become friends before, I never would have believed it, but I knew it would be like this and went to the movies together to build a friendship.

    “..I guess I misunderstood.”

    “Are you just going to end it with words?”

    “Huh…?”

    “You said that earlier and everyone around you looked at you. How embarrassed I was.”

    “It doesn’t look like that at all?”

    “Anyway, let’s talk. Please give me some time to make up for my misunderstanding this time.”

    She started to worry.

    The worries didn’t last long.

    In any case, she was the type of person who would always repay whatever she felt was wrong.

    “Okay.”

    “Good. Follow me.”

    “Where are you going?”

    Yerin Jeong tilted her head.

    “Every time you two talked, it only came out as poor leadership. It’s stuffy there, so… I’ll go to a place I like.”

    “So, where is it?”

    “You will find out when you come.”

    This time I took the lead and she followed.

    This is a new composition again.

    The place I took her was the rooftop.

    “Huh? Hey, no entry here – ”

    Sigh.

    Ignoring her words, I picked the lock and opened the door.

    “How do you know the password, again?”

    she grumbled.

    “There are ways. Come in.”

    I went out first, and she followed.

    “This is…”

    Wow, the wind passed by caressing her hair in an instant.

    “Ah…”

    At the same time, an open view caught her eye. The blue sky and white clouds made it seem like I was in another world.

    “Good, right?”

    “That’s right.”

    “I thought you would like it. It’s a place I often come to.”

    “Are you saying that in front of the leaders?”

    “Why are you giving me penalty points?”

    “I’ll just look at it this time.”

    “I wasn’t going to give it to you anyway.”

    “Give it away?”

    “I’m sorry.”

    Sigh, a laugh came out of her mouth.

    A tiki-taka type conversation where there is no important content, but you can have fun talking non-stop.

    She also seemed to enjoy our conversation quite a bit.

    The girl who used to frown every time she saw me was gone.

    She felt more comfortable on this rooftop and next to me than before.

    It’s definitely a good sign.

    “So, what are you talking about?”

    “Let’s just talk about anything like now.”

    “What, nonsense.”

    “I kind of wanted to be together.”

    “Oh, I see… Huh? What?”

    For a moment, she turned to look at me angrily.

    As I was trying to think back on what I said, she asked me again if I couldn’t digest it.

    “What? What do you mean by that?”

    As I watched Jeong Ye-rin lose her composure due to the sudden attack, I brought out the true meaning of her words.

    “It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just… Ye-eun said that. Please become closer to me and my senior.”

    “That’s right.”

    “So, I’m going to try to become a little closer to you. What better way than two people talking.”

    “Okay….”

    “Then, let’s continue talking about the drama we talked about last time.”

    We continued talking.

    The conversation never seemed to stop.

    When she gets bored, she disses me, and I entertain her with exaggerated reactions.

    The point was this.

    Letting her know that I am not a threat to her or her conscience.

    To make you aware.

    After a little chat, we headed down at the end of lunch hour.

    “Okay, see you next time.”

    “Okay.”

    **

    She broke up with Choi Do-hyun.

    The place to go is the classroom. You must prepare for class and participate in the next class.

    The conversation was enjoyable.

    We didn’t say much, but it was strangely fun.

    This is… probably because he is a fun person.

    Maybe Ye-eun was right that I didn’t like him because I didn’t know him well.

    “Yerin!”

    Kim Haram walking in front of me.

    “Where have you been? He wasn’t there.”

    “Just.. a concession stand.”

    I hid it without even realizing it.

    The fact that I met Choi Do-hyun….

    No, no.

    It wasn’t a good thing to know… and it wasn’t that important.

    “Is something good happening?”

    “Huh?”

    “Are you smiling?”

    “Me?”

    I checked the mirror at the back of the classroom.

    It was a clear smile.

    Was it like this throughout the conversation?

    Did I ever feel this comfortable with him?

    “It’s just that I like seeing your face.”

    “Haha… I like it every time I see you too, Yerin.”

    As I looked around a bit, I immediately saw him raising the corners of his mouth.

    ‘ha…’

    The brighter he smiled, the stronger the guilt.

    Is it right to hide this?

    Is it okay for my boyfriend to not know that I was talking alone with another man?

    If you think about it the other way around, what if Ha-ram talks alone with a pretty girl and tries to hide it?

    I was in a bad mood.

    Okay, let’s just put it plainly.

    “Oh, I also saw Choi Do-hyun earlier.”

    “Choi Do-hyeon…?”

    “It’s not that important. Just chatting.”

    “Aha… We were like that at the playground last time, and it looks like we’ve become really close…”

    “Yes.”

    After speaking, I felt much more at ease.

    “It’s a bit… surprising.”

    On the other hand, his expression seemed unclear.

    “What?”

    “You really hated him. All he did was swear all the time… When did you become so close?”

    Ah, is that the story?

    Well, even I would be surprised.

    “Ah, haha… of course.”

    He soon relaxed his expression and returned to his usual self.

    Fortunately, I didn’t feel like I had to ask anything more.

    ‘As expected, speaking was the right answer.’

    It seemed like he wasn’t very offended.

    Because he trusts me.

    It seems like his trust is coming through, and my heart is filled.

    I believe in him too.

    My boyfriend who is sometimes sweet and other times cool.

    …She couldn’t see the back of his face.

    The surprisingly cold expression he had when he turned his head away from her for a moment.

    ‘Choi Do-hyeon… You’re annoying, you bastard.’

    Ink on white paper.

    Impurities that destroy perfection.

    A mere lowlife or a brat should not be a hindrance to him.
