Seo Yi-eung and Isabella fell flat on the floor.

Isabella also had her disguise removed.

They put their heads on the ground.

They stuttered as if they had a bug and admitted their mistake.

“Mi, I’m sorry… I was planning to say something someday… Because I missed the timing…”

“Sorry… I won’t make any excuses. I’ll go to the police station and turn myself in…”

It was a bit surprising.

Even if his identity was discovered, I thought he would continue to make lame excuses.

Well, it was still annoying.

Because you didn’t confess when I gave you the chance just now.

I spoke without showing any emotion and maintaining a lukewarm attitude.

“First, put on your clothes.”

“Yes…”

“Ugh…”

We decided to get dressed before talking.

Because you can’t have a conversation while naked.

When Seo Yi-eung and Isabella were dressed like criminals. The rabbits were slowly moving and quietly opening the professor’s office door. It seemed like he was secretly trying to get out of this situation.

Of course, I had no intention of sending it off nicely.

Because those rabbits are also accomplices with them.

“Professor. Instructor.”

“Da, carrot?!”

“Lotus root!?”

The rabbits were startled and stopped in their tracks.

“Are you trying to run away?”

“ too, running away…. I was just going to get some water!”

“That’s right! I’m just a little thirsty…!”

“There is a water purifier here too.”

“Ah…! Right! Carrot!”

“Lotus root! I forgot!”

I gave the rabbits a cold look.

Then the rabbits trembled and their ears drooped.

“Forest Toto. Let’s go over there and hit our heads. Carrot···.”

“Yeongeun···.”

Isabella and Seo Yi-eung changed their clothes and knelt again. The rabbits walked up to them and put their heads on the ground. I’m glad you have insight.

I slowly looked at them.

‘···Why does he look like that?’

Seo Yi-eung’s expression was a little strange.

It was clearly a face full of guilt.

If you look at the overall face, eyes and posture.

However, there was a place that was contradictory to other body parts. The corners of my mouth keep twitching slightly.

Only in that area were happy feelings overflowing.

What is that?

I think the expression of reflection is correct…

Santoto must have seen Seo Yi-eung’s expression, as he widened his eyes and shouted in a low voice.

“Seo Yi-eung! You are reflecting properly right now, carrot!”

“I just kissed Kang Ha-hwi once, and even in this situation, I’m really excited. You’re crazy, lotus root.”

Forest Toto supported Santoto’s words.

ah. I guess I was going through a lot of mixed emotions because of the kiss I just had.

Now I understand why the expression is unnatural.

That kind of reaction is understandable.

I wasn’t particularly impressed because I was just having skinship with an animal, but Seo Yi-eung was having skinship with me in human form.

Suddenly, Seo Yi-eung’s eyes met mine.

Seo Yi-eung shook his shoulders and said,

“I’m sorry!”

He started hitting his mouth with his fist.

Only then did the corners of his mouth lower.

“······.”

First of all, I decided to find out why he had been deceiving me by disguising himself as an animal.

***

The main culprit of this.

There were three reasons why Seo Yi-eung approached me disguised as a cat.

The first reason was to narrow the distance between them and the opposite sex.

It’s not as bad as Hanabi or I used to be, but Seo Yi-eung also has a hard time with the opposite sex.

The second reason is because I was reluctant to date women.

When I first started school, my gynophobia was at its peak, and Seo Yi-eung knew it too. And it is said that in order to get closer to me, he disguised himself as a cat and approached me.

Additionally, he said that this method was inspired by seeing rabbits.

When he saw the rabbits interacting with me without hesitation, he thought, “Ah, this is it!”

“I’m sorry. Kang Ha-hwi Taking advantage of the fact that you like animals like this.”

It was already the 26th apology.

Seo Yi-eung lowered his head.

With his lips licking, he said the third reason.

The third reason is.

To prevent other women from approaching.

For your information, this is not due to a dark desire such as monopoly, but to protect myself to the extent possible.

···In a way, I had to be thankful for this.

It means that I was worried that my trauma was overcoming, so I stopped the women who approached me without knowing what to do.

Of course, I didn’t say thank you for protecting me.

Because this method is completely wrong.

“I’m really, truly sorry. Originally, I only did it in moderation and tried to stop once I got closer to you, but I became addicted to it and couldn’t stop even if we got closer… Out of guilt, I tried to reveal the truth, but I didn’t have the courage…”

In short, it means that they couldn’t tell the truth for fear of being hated.

So this kind of thing shouldn’t have started in the first place.

Well, anyway…

Considering that he stopped pretending to be an animal several months ago, it is true that he is truly remorseful. If I didn’t feel guilty, I would have continued to do this.

“···And Isabella is not at fault. I forced myself into it.”

Seo Yi-eung supported Isabella.

It’s all your fault. He asked that if he was going to be reprimanded, it would be only him.

I think I’m misunderstanding something.

Neither Isabella nor Seo Yi-eung had any intention of reprimanding her.

I just wanted to reveal the truth.

Even though they were unpleasant, I didn’t hate them.

Just like the rabbits, they haven’t been telling malicious lies either. Although it was a bit shady, I could fully forgive this.

“And then I turned into an animal and washed up with you Ha-hwi…”

“Ah. Since I was forced to bring her in, I won’t make an issue of it.”

I stopped talking to Seo Yi-eung and spoke.

I don’t really want to think about that.

I’m ashamed of the fact that I freely showed my naked body to the four women here.

“Well, I heard all the reasons… The question is what to do with you now…”

I looked like I was struggling for a moment and fell asleep.

Then the women appeared anxious.

In their eyes, my current expression is ‘How should I deal with these crazy perverts? It seems like he’s worried about something like, “Should I break off the relationship and sue him?”

Of course, I don’t think about that at all.

There’s no way you could cut off a precious relationship just because of something like this, right?

‘It’s not a very shocking truth.’

Normally I would have been in shock.

However, there was already a precedent of rabbits being caught doing something similar, so I was indifferent.

To be honest, I want to hit him lightly right now and then forgive him…

Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.

If you forgive these mistakes too easily, your habits will worsen.

I needed to keep that nervousness even more so that they could further regret their mistakes.

That’s why I sigh,

“Haa···. I’m going to take a moment to gather my thoughts, cool my head, and get some fresh air outside.”

I decided to leave for a while.

To give myself time to atone for my sins in a space where I am not present, trembling with anxiety, thinking arrogant thoughts, developing negative imaginations that will never happen.

This was the minor ‘punishment’ I gave them.

I have no intention of giving a harsher punishment than this.

I was thinking of just finishing this and then forgiving him as soon as I get back.

As I said earlier.

Because I have no desire to sever my relationship with them.

This action was simply intended to thoroughly remind them of their mistakes.

As humans become less remorseful, they tend to commit bigger mistakes.

***

The professor’s office where Kang Ha-hwi left had the atmosphere of a funeral home.

The four women looked down at the floor blankly for a long time, as if they were lost.

Meanwhile.

“···Isabella, I’m sorry. For no reason, you got caught up in this because of me.”

Seo Yi-eung spoke in a quiet voice and bowed his head to Isabella.

I couldn’t help but feel sorry.

If it weren’t for her, Isabella would never have engaged in such unhealthy deviance.

However, Isabella did not blame Seo Yi-eung.

“No. In the end, the choice was mine.”

Inside, I was blaming myself.

I should have just stopped Seo Yi-eung from the beginning…

My fault for not being able to stop my friend’s mistake is even bigger…

Besides these thoughts.

Why did I do that?

What if Ha-hwi starts hating us because of this?

I regretted, worried, and loathed myself.

“Ah… What should I really do… From what I saw earlier, you seemed really angry. What should I say when Ha-hwi comes back…”

“I have no choice but to sincerely apologize to Ha-hwi once again… But I still don’t think they will forgive me…”

Seo Yi-eung and Isabella.

They were very distressed at this time.

This place is like a court.

Kang Ha-hwi is the judge, and they are both criminals and defendants.

The judge left the room for a moment for some reason, and I felt like a criminal waiting in fear for the delayed judgment.

When you think rationally.

It seemed certain that the death sentence would be handed down.

But I haven’t given up yet.

I couldn’t finish without doing anything.

I held on to the thinner-than-thread string of hope and thought and thought about how I could ask for forgiveness.

Because I didn’t want my relationship with Kang Ha-hwi to fall apart like this.

When these girls keep shaking their heads like that.

“They say it’s very dangerous. Carrot.”

“He looks like he is about to commit suicide. Lotus root.”

Santoto and Forest Toto jumped up on the table and looked stern.

“It’s annoying, but I will especially help you. My student is in trouble, and I can’t turn a blind eye! Carrot.”

“Hehe. We just put our heads together and came up with a good solution. I am confident that there is nothing better than this to relieve Kang Ha-hwi’s anger! Lotus root!”

They were usually unreliable damn rabbits.

However, in the eyes of Seo Yi-eung and Isabella, he seemed like a ray of light and someone they could rely on more than anyone else.

Due to their weak state of mind and body, they did not realize that their situation was no different from that of the rabbits.

***

30 minutes have passed since I came outside.

And now I decided to go back again.

I think this gave me enough time to reflect.

I walked down the long hallway and opened the professor’s office door.

“······.”

I was speechless for a moment.

Inside the professor’s office.

A strange scene unfolded.

Seo Yi-eung and Isabella.

Santoto and Forest Toto returned to human form.

Four women are lying face down on a table, with their buttocks sticking out.

Are you punishing yourself?

With that question in mind, I moved my gaze a little to the side, and I noticed a huge bat lying there that I had never seen before.

When you are staring at a vicious bat that looks like it will go to the goal with just one hit.

“Lotus root!! Come on, Kang Ha-hwi! Beat us until you break loose!”

Forest Toto slightly turned his head and shouted with a determined expression.

While shaking my butt up and down and left and right.

······First, I held the bat in my hand.
