episode_0038

It’s midterm exam time.

If I’m going to live in this world, I can’t ignore studying for exams because I ultimately have to find my own way to survive.

“Dohyeon, should I teach you how to study?”

However, it’s okay.

Because in this world of Miyeonsi, there are events that take place even during the exam period.

In particular, the couple Jeong Ye-eun and Moon Jeong-woo studied very hard, so there was always an episode of going to one of them’s house to study for every exam.

Now there will be three characters in that episode.

“Study?”

“Yes, it’s exam period now! I hate to say this, but I’m still pretty good at it.”

“I should have done better?”

“Poout…”

She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and burst out laughing.

As if I had heard a funny joke.

“Huh? Don’t you believe it?”

“No, I believe it.”

Moon Jeong-woo, who was next to Jeong Ye-eun, was also looking at me with very funny eyes.

I don’t know anything else, but I could see the confidence that I would be able to study.

Well, this was worth it.

Even if you call a hundred people passing by and ask them, they will tell you that they study better.

This didn’t just stem from appearance.

Even if I compare his usual behavior with mine and Choi Do-hyun’s behavior before possession, Choi Do-hyun was not able to study well.

“Then, do you want to bet on math later? Make your wish come true!”

Jeong Ye-eun spoke confidently.

“Are you confident?”

“Hmm, of course! Jeongwoo, do you want to join us?”

“Ugh, yes! I’ll do it too..!”

Moon Jeong-woo nodded, and Jeong Ye-eun continued speaking.

“Well… since there are three of us, let’s have 1st place order one from 3rd place.”

“Okay. If you come in last place, I’ll make you bake 100 of those cookies.”

“Let’s do it at my house after school. You came here last time.”

“Okay.”

.

.

.

After school was over, we picked up our bags and headed to Jeong Ye-eun’s house.

Students were busy packing up their belongings in the classroom, and what particularly stood out was another couple, Yoo Ji-min and Jeon Si-woo.

“Shu, please teach me how to study.”

“You said you were going to play games again…”

“No?”

Yes, enjoy the life of a romantic comedy to the fullest.

One day… it will all be destroyed.

“Let’s go.”

We left the classroom and headed to a familiar neighborhood.

As usual, the sunny weather welcomed us, and we could see Ye-eun’s face, which made her feel good just by looking at it, and Moon Jeong-woo’s face, which made him feel bad just by looking at it.

When we almost arrived at her house.

“Uh, isn’t that your sister over there?”

“I see…? Next to me… Ah, it’s Haram oppa.”

A couple, Jeong Ye-rin and Kim Ha-ram, were seen pressing the code on the front door of the house.

They must have come for the purpose of studying…

‘I’m jealous.’

Kim Haram will study in a room alone with Jeong Yerin.

On our side, there is an impurity called Moon Jeong-woo mixed in.

Is there no such thing as a trade system here? I really want to change Moon Jeong-woo and Jeong Ye-rin.

“Senior Yerin!”

When I called her name, Kim Ha-ram and Jeong Ye-rin turned their eyes towards me.

Jeong Ye-rin looked embarrassed, and Kim Ha-ram looked openly uncomfortable.

“Did you come to study with your boyfriend?”

“Uh. You’re not going to disturb me, right?”

“I also came to study with Ye-eun, well. Let’s go in.”

**

‘Cookies… I’ll bake them if you just tell me… Other wishes are fine too.’

Jeong Ye-eun grumbled in her heart.

For example, a wish to be able to hug one another, or conversely a wish to be hugged, or a wish to date…

Of course, the last thing is not just winning a bet on a math problem, but it is common to achieve something like winning a competition.

Still, imagination is free.

‘Honestly, I think Dohyun will be last… and Jungwoo can’t beat me yet. then…?’

Jeong Ye-eun led her friends to her house, wondering if it would be okay to think about what to order.

And Moon Jeong-woo also had that thought.

No matter what I did, I didn’t think I would lose to Choi Do-hyun.

In other words, this was an opportunity to push him and emphasize his excellence.

With that in mind, he headed to the house that would be the site of the final battle with her.

Jeong Ye-eun opened the door to the common entrance and got into the elevator.

I met her older sister in front of the front door.

After briefly greeting Kim Ha-ram, she watched the conversation between Choi Do-hyun and Jeong Ye-rin.

‘surely…’

We became friends.

I felt proud for no reason.

Did the conversation last time about the two of you getting closer to each other have any effect?

I had a strange feeling at the time, but… it’s a good thing that Do-hyeon and her sister are becoming close.

When I thought about it again, it was definitely a good thing as long as I didn’t get too friendly.

“Ye-eun, study well. If Choi Do-hyun makes you uncomfortable, tell him right away.”

“I said that’s not the case.. You should work hard too!”

They separated into their respective rooms.

Jeong Ye-eun turned on the computer and started the small printer.

“Now, from now on, I’m going to print three mock test papers. Since it’s not a real mock test, let’s just solve it for an hour, grade it individually, and compare the scores. Taking a picture and matching it is invalid. Got it?”

She told them the details of the bet, and then the printer made a noise and the papers were laid out in front of them.

“Okay, let’s measure the time here. Ready… let’s go!”

At the same time, Choi Do-hyun grabbed the sharp.

**

I don’t make losing bets.

Since I’m the kind of person who avoids fights that don’t have a chance, my acceptance of this bet wasn’t a spur of the moment thing.

Of course, Choi Do-hyun can never beat Moon Jeong-woo in studying.

If you are in a similar environment, studying is where effort and talent determine your level.

Moon Jeong-woo undoubtedly invested more effort than Choi Do-hyun.

Yes, Choi Do-hyun will not win.

However, I am different.

Let’s think about it.

Baek Hyun-jun, a high school senior who completed the CSAT.

I was someone who got pretty good scores during my active duty career, and although I wasn’t at the top, I could say that I was good at studying.

For me, this is a mock test of this level…

‘It’s a fight I can’t lose.’

I started leaving traces of the sharp lead on the test paper.

.

.

.

After an hour passed and the alarm went off.

“Okay, that’s it!”

Jeong Ye-eun collected the test papers and started grading.

She was the first to grade hers and was full of confidence.

The same thing happened after grading Moon Jeong-woo’s test paper.

And, last.

As she began grading my test paper, her expression changed in real time.

“Oh….”

What started with admiration

“Uh…?”

My mind changed to a feeling of uncertainty.

When I finally beat her score, everyone in the room was surprised except me.

Even though there are only two people.

“Did I tell you?”

“Uh…”

Jeong Ye-eun could not hide her embarrassment.

And Moon Jeong-woo next to him looked as if the world had collapsed.

The sense of defeat he feels as he is pushed out of his studies is probably more than you can imagine.

What does it feel like to show yourself being pushed out in every way by the girl you like and the guy you recently became friends with?

It will undoubtedly feel like a black, sticky lump of despair, frustration, and other negative emotions is sitting on your chest.

“Hey, Moon Jeong-woo. It’s a bet to get your wish granted, right?”

told him

He grinned, smiling triumphantly.

His arms trembled as if he was humiliated.

“Go and buy some ice cream. With your money.”

“What…?”

“There’s a convenience store in front of me. I’ll look at it like this. Okay?”

He looked at Jeong Ye-eun.

It seemed like he was hoping she would catch him or say she would go with him.

“Welcome, Jeongwoo!”

However, she just smiled and said that.

He slowly got up from his seat.

“Dohyun, but why are you so good at studying..? Ugh, what can’t I do?..!”

Her voice hit his back as he opened the door and left.

**

“Whoa, let’s take a break.”

Haram Kim said.

“Know…”

Yerin Jeong swept her hair back and put down the sharpie.

“Ugh…”

She clasped her hands together, spread her arms, and pulled them behind her head.

The breasts came forward, emphasizing volume, and for a moment, Kim Haram’s gaze focused on them.

“Ah, that’s right. Choi Do-hyun, has he been to your house before?”

“Why?”

“Just because it looks familiar.”

“I’ve been there. Because I’m close with Yeeun.”

At that answer, Kim Ha-ram’s expression hardened.

“Honestly, Yerin. I don’t know why you or your brother are so close to him.”

And, perhaps because he felt that now was the right time, he brought up the story.

“Didn’t I tell you last time? I heard he’s nicer than I thought?”

“Yerin, people don’t change. That bastard is definitely up to something. huh? Just… listen to me and keep some distance.”

“Ha.. I heard you’re okay?”

She defended Choi Do-hyun. She herself didn’t know why.

I just didn’t want him to be humiliated.

“Yerin, did you just sigh? I’m speaking for you.”

“No, that’s not it… sorry. I guess it’s because I’m a little tired.”

“…Let’s study.”

The issue regarding Choi Do-hyun was not resolved.

They went back to studying, but they couldn’t concentrate as well as before.

On the contrary, it was just starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
