‘The kid is better than I thought…?’

It was a thought that was running through Yoo Ji-min’s mind.

She looked at Choi Do-hyeon, who was smiling brightly and immersed in the game.

‘Wasn’t he a very strange person…?’

Yoo Ji-min was commonly classified as a ‘playful kid,’ but he did not bully others.

Even if you participate in academy classes insincerely, you will not cause harm to others.

Also, I didn’t really like the so-called ‘Iljin’ group.

Han Ji-woon and his friends tried to become friends with a girl with a similar appearance to them, but she pushed them away.

As such, my feelings toward Choi Do-hyun could not have been good.

Although he has not been seen hanging out with Han Ji-woon’s group recently, the image once established is not easily removed.

Isn’t that what an original image is?

Once you are stuck, whatever you do will be interpreted according to the image.

While he was sitting next to Si-woo Si-woo and teasing him, Do-hyeon Choi came up to him.

And then he said.

We’re in the same group. We need to work on the assignment together.

Of course, I wasn’t happy at all.

The same thing happened when we were looking for a place to work on an assignment together.

‘Siwoo’s house…? ‘I hope no one else goes in there but me.’

There was a wish that it would remain a place just for him and her. I didn’t want anyone else’s footprints to be left behind.

When Choi Do-hyeon made such an offer, he hoped Si-woo Si-woo would reject it.

‘Quick… say no… quickly!’

However, in the end it was decided to do it at his house. Shih Si-woo did not appear to strongly oppose him.

She couldn’t come forward and say no.

By what qualifications?

‘Ugh.. it’s frustrating…’

It was Yoo Ji-min who was quietly reprimanding him inwardly.

And, on the way home from school that day.

“Shu.”

She spoke to Si-woo Si-woo.

“Why..?”

“Above, why didn’t you say you didn’t like it?”

“When?”

“It was there earlier..! When choosing a place to do group work.”

“Ahaha… It’s just that there’s no other place better…”

“You…”

She stopped and asked him. When she stopped, he also stopped and looked back.

“Is it okay for other people to come into my house like that?”

“Our…home?”

“Uh. My house.”

And, when Siwoo heard those words, he could not control his joy.

It seemed like she had proven that she, too, valued their memories.

He wasn’t the only one who thought this relationship was important.

“….No.”

“Right? Don’t do that again next time. Say no. okay? Because your house is my private hideout.”

“I understand.”

He nodded.

She looked at him like he was cute and started walking again.

“Hey, Shu. Let’s go to the convenience store.”

“Okay.”

“You did something wrong today, so you buy it. Got it?”

“Yes.”

Si-woo Si-woo followed Yoo Ji-min.

Constantly thinking back to what she said just moments ago.

Behind her, secretly smiling.

.

.

.

And, on the day of the group assignment.

She had been sleeping at Si-woo Si-woo’s house since morning.

It was a sleep that continued from the night before.

Since I had to come here on Saturday anyway, I didn’t bother to go back to my room and stayed there.

While she was fast asleep on Si-woo’s soft mattress, a sound from next to the bed disturbed her sleep.

This was unacceptable.

In a place filled with the smell of shoe.

He’s swimming in the pillow he usually sleeps on and the blanket he sleeps on, and you’re trying to wake him up.

‘Ash…. Moya…’

-..Wow! Joe…assignment…

‘Uhm.. I’m sleepy….’

While I was half-asleep and half-asleep, I heard a familiar voice next to the bed.

‘Shu… I need to hug him and sleep…’

She hugged the waist of the person next to the bed,

‘uh…? Shu’s waist can’t be this thick…? It seems to be harder to the touch than usual…’

Soon, I was hit with a mild hit on my forehead.

“Ah, it hurts..”

When I opened my eyes, I saw Si-Woo Si-Woo’s face just as embarrassed as Choi Do-Hyeon’s embarrassed face.

‘I made a mistake…!’

She was rubbing her sleepy eyes and offering an apology.

.

.

.

After starting in earnest with group tasks.

She gradually began to lose focus.

Things like ESG management and China trade strategy were completely outside her interests, and even copying and pasting data was extremely annoying.

The words were difficult to understand.

‘So… So Pink…? This strong patriotism… Uh, what is Guo Chao…?’

Soon, she clicked the new tab button at the top of the screen.

‘Just a little bit, let’s look at it for a little while…’

Suddenly, she noticed Choi Do-hyun and Si-woo Si-woo’s attention and started watching the movie review video.

‘Oh… this looks fun. ‘I’ll watch it with Shu later.’

Turn off all the lights in this room and close the curtains.

Sitting on the bed and watching a movie while snuggled together.

There is chicken and cola on the table next to the bed, which will add flavor to the movie.

Even if there is a scary scene, we link our arms, and then we gradually get closer –

‘Whoa…’

She was so lost in her delusions that she did not notice Choi Do-hyun moving.

“What are you doing?”

In the end, I was caught doing something else.

Fortunately, he must have been thinking the same thing as her, and immediately agreed to stop the assignment.

Immediately after that, the game we played together began.

The game played with three people was also quite fun.

Honestly, it was pretty fun.

In particular, it was impressive to discover a new side of Choi Do-hyun.

He, who always walks around with a blunt and scary face, smiles brightly and is absorbed in the game.

‘If you look closely, you have a good personality… Why are you like that?’

It was a moment when Yoo Ji-min’s image of Choi Do-hyun cracked.

From being a scary and mean-spirited male student #1, to Choi Do-hyun, a classmate with an unexpected side.

After the group project was over and Choi Do-hyun returned home.

Yoo Ji-min told Si-woo Si-woo what she felt.

“So, Choi Do-hyun, doesn’t he seem like a good kid?”

“…Sure. It was different from what I thought.”

Contrary to his agreement with what she said, his expression was not so good.

‘what? Is it because you lost the game? Did I eat something wrong earlier…? or not – ‘

At first, I didn’t realize the cause, but my thoughts gradually changed.

‘no way…? Shu, are you jealous?’

Recently, she began to have doubts about Si-Woo’s feelings for her.

Maybe they think of us as just friends, friends who are fun to hang out with.

She had no intention of being satisfied with anything between them.

However, being jealous of another man’s story was clearly a sign of rational attraction.

‘where…’

To prove it, she decided to say it a few more times.

“Now that I think about it, he looks quite handsome when he smiles… I don’t know why he walks around with such a stiff expression on his face at the academy.”

“Well, really…? Haha, it seems like that…”

The laughter contained no joy at all.

Not only that, but his expression was also gradually decaying.

‘oh my god…! That must be real jealousy! cute!’

And, she was starting to become convinced of his jealousy.

After a few more pranks, when Si-woo was slowly becoming more serious, she stopped saying such things.

“Shu, why are you looking like that?”

“Uh, huh? Why is my expression…?”

“He’s stiff, and his tone is a bit… Are you really jealous?”

“Jealousy?”

And, it was Si-Woo who was taken aback by those words.

“Oh, no! Not at all?”

The feeling of jealousy is strange.

If the person you like is jealous, it’s human to find it cute.

Of course, assuming that the jealousy is not excessive.

However, he does not want his partner to see his jealousy.

I’m afraid people will look at me as petty or think I’m boring.

I think it’s good that the other person is jealous, but I try to hide it from the other person.

Siwoo also tried to hide the fact that he was jealous.

It was because of the fear of not being seen as cool.

“Heehee…”

On the other hand, Yoo Ji-min was only happy about that fact.

“Okay. I won’t say things like that from now on. Are you upset?”

“No? You’re not upset at all?”

“Ahaha, I guess it’s true that you’re upset.”

“No?”

She enjoyed the usual exhibition rain.

When they teased him and when he blushed and was embarrassed, I felt emotions that I had never felt before.

He was special.

“Relieve your anger. huh? Do you want to touch my breasts?”

“Go, go…no! are you okay! I’m all set! Really!”

It was cute how surprised he was at the word ‘breasts’.

“Hehe. Shame on you, our Shu?”

“Ah, no..! There is also a saying that men and women are equal for all ages, and, uh! That’s not possible at our age! Wow, breasts… Where did you learn that word!”

She watched him rambling in amusement.

‘Ah.. I’m happy.’

I hoped that this daily routine would not change in the future.

I wish I could be there for him and enjoy his reactions as I tease him.

I hope he never changes and always remains pure and cute.

I hoped that this room and the things in it, this atmosphere, would not change.
