Perhaps because it was not lunch time yet, no one went to the canteen.

As soon as I turned the corner and came to the deserted backyard of the academy, Soo-yeon Choi stretched out her arms and wrapped them around my neck, pressing her body against me.

It was an expression of affection without hesitation, but contrary to her actions, her expression was quite pouty.

“Seon~Pear~! It’s really too much! I was wondering something because I heard that I had a prior appointment for the weekend, but Yuri and I just went out?! I just took it out!”

“I think it would have been even weirder if you had been there.”

“… Where did you go?”

“To the end?”

“……”

Soo-yeon Choi looked at me with her mouth open, then raised her tiptoes as she hugged my neck.

“…♥”

And then we kissed, mixing our tongues together.

Sooyeon Choi and I have already kissed so many times that I can’t even count, so there was no hesitation in kissing each other.

Soo-yeon Choi moved the hand that was wrapped around my neck to my cheeks, held them tightly, and mixed their tongues even more vigorously.

As if trying to erase any traces of her from my lips, where I must have kissed Lee Yu-ri.

When our lips parted, Sooyeon Choi looked at me with a slightly flushed expression and put a little more pressure on the hands holding both cheeks.

“I told her directly that she was greedy, but I didn’t know she could act so needlessly. It’s annoying.”

“At least I didn’t lie. Wouldn’t it be better for me to just open it up, since you’d end up having to hide it too?”

“Wow, shameless…”

Suyeon Choi let out a pure exclamation and looked up at me, hugging my waist and pressing her body even closer.

“But why don’t I hate my senior even though I’m hearing these ridiculous and shameless things right in front of my eyes?”

“Um, well… Because she’s my girl?”

Choi Su-yeon’s eyes trembled slightly.

However, he soon came to his senses and still stuck out his mouth.

“Did you say that to senior Yuri too?”

“Well, it’s not exactly the same.”

“It was bad.”

Suyeon Choi pinched my cheek without fear.

It would have been an unimaginable act for the original Han Seong-jin, but Choi Soo-yeon accepted the fact that I had changed better than anyone else, and her actions were quite bold.

“Yuri, do you know that you and I have this kind of relationship?”

“You don’t know yet. You know because I told you that I am greedy for women.”

“The fact that you don’t know ‘yet’ means you’ll tell me someday, right?”

“That’s right. Because I have no intention of lying and hiding.”

“Then, as a senior woman, I have no choice but to help you?”

“How?”

“Well, you’ll just have to wait and see, right?”

Suyeon Choi grinned like a devil.

The results of ‘you’ll know it when you see it’ were evident right away during lunch time.

#####

Lunch hour.

Sooyeon Choi naturally came up to the third grade cafeteria and sat down with us, as she always did these days.

Lee Yu-ri and Jeong Eun-ji, who had been fierce at first by asking why they were coming, seemed to have gotten used to it by now and didn’t say much about it.

At first glance, it seemed like a peaceful lunch time, but the peace was broken right after the meal was finished.

When we all returned to our seats in the restaurant after setting up our plates and resting while waiting for our stomachs to quench, Suyeon Choi suddenly called me.

“Huh? Senior Seongjin? Look at me for a moment.”

“Why?”

“Here, there’s something on your lips.”

Suyeon Choi pointed her finger at the corner of my mouth.

I don’t really feel like there’s anything on it…

At her gesture, I unconsciously put my hand to my mouth, but I couldn’t touch anything.

At the same time, Sooyeon Choi raised her body slightly, bowed, and came towards me.

“I can’t help it. I will clean it for you.”

And she kissed me proudly on the corner of my mouth.

“!!!”

This behavior was quite unexpected even for me, so I froze in shock.

And what surprised me even more was…

“You, you, you… What are you doing now-”

“Mi, crazy-”

Lee Yu-ri, who became my girlfriend, and Jeong Eun-ji, who didn’t like both me and Choi Su-yeon.

Naturally, Lee Yu-ri’s reaction was much more violent.

“Hey!!! What are you doing now!?”

Lee Yu-ri, whose face turned red and glared at Choi Soo-yeon, was probably so surprised that she jumped up from her seat, not caring that all the other kids’ eyes were on her.

Regardless, Choi Su-yeon smiled at Yu-ri Lee with a calm expression.

“Did you wipe that thing from around your mouth?”

“Don’t be funny! Seongjin didn’t have anything on his mouth! And even if it gets on, I can wipe it off with a tissue or my hand, who does that…”

“Really? I think Seongjin would like this more, right? Senior Seongjin is greedy for women.”

“So! Seongjin’s girlfriend is me!”

Seeing her friend confidently declaring that she was her woman, Jeong Eun-ji looked up at the ceiling with a headache and closed her eyes tightly.

Meanwhile, Choi Soo-yeon didn’t even blink at Yu-ri Lee’s declaration that she was his girlfriend.

“Really? congratulation. But I don’t care if Seongjin has a girlfriend or not. As long as I can be with him.”

“This…!”

“After all, didn’t you know and decided to meet up? Seongjin, are you greedy for women? With a senior like Seongjin, it wouldn’t be strange for him to have a few women with him…♥”

As Suyeon Choi said that, she quietly crossed her arms around me and pressed her chest against me.

A double wick lit up in Yu-ri Lee’s eyes when she saw that.

In fact, when a situation like this occurred, I was the one who would be criticized first, but now, because of Choi Soo-yeon’s actions, all of Lee Yu-ri’s aggro was directed in that direction.

Is this what helping meant?

You want to be able to naturally get involved in the romantic relationship, but you also want to avoid getting criticized by Yu-ri Lee?

‘If you look closely, he’s a bit scary.’

Meanwhile, Lee Yu-ri, who thought she had won completely, was visibly seething at the unexpected attack.

She opened her eyes and screamed at Choi Su-yeon.

“Who are you to come between me and Seongjin!? Me and Seongjin on the weekend-”

Yu-ri Lee, who was screaming, suddenly realized that what was coming next was definitely not something worth shouting in front of others, so her face turned red and she suddenly lowered her voice.

So that only the three of us sitting at this table – me, Sooyeon Choi, and Eunji Jeong – can hear.

“We went until the end of the weekend. There is no room for you. Nowhere.”

“What, what?!”

The one who was more surprised by those words was Jeong Eun-ji.

The quiet, studious guy seemed quite shocked by his friend’s declaration that he had had sex over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Choi Su-yeon, for the first time, had a hard expression on her face and was silent.

Although he had already heard the story from me, he seemed displeased when he was attacked with asymmetrical power from the woman in question.

“…… So? Well, it’s not like we’re in an era where just having sex once leads to marriage.”

“What?”

“It doesn’t matter whether your senior is your girlfriend or not, and whether you had sex or not. Senior, get along well with senior Seongjin. Because I too will hang out with Seongjin just like that.”

“You… even though I just told you that Seongjin is your girlfriend-”

“If you don’t like it that much, why don’t you break up? Because I’m dating senior Seongjin. Oh, of course, unlike senior Yuri, I have a big heart, so even if senior Yuri sticks around while I’m dating senior Seongjin, I won’t say anything. How do you feel?”

Yu-ri Lee’s face turned red and her whole body was shaking to the point where she was worried that she might explode.

And in the end, he made up his mind and wrapped his arms around me and screamed.

“Noisy! Seongjin’s girlfriend is me, no matter what anyone says! Not like you!”

“Then it has been decided. Seongjin senior’s girlfriend is Yuri senior. I’ll just stick around like I do now. No complaints, right? If you are dissatisfied, please break up.”

“What are you…”

Perhaps because she felt like she was getting caught up in Choi Soo-yeon, who was clingy to her even though she became my official girlfriend, and was losing the decision, Lee Yu-ri trembled with anger and even had tears in her eyes.

Since I wasn’t in the mood to intervene, I stayed in the middle and stayed silent, realizing that it was time to break in, and I wiped away the tears that had begun to form at the corners of Yuri’s eyes.

“Yuri, don’t cry. No matter what anyone says, my girlfriend is you. Now, pop.”

“Sigh… Sigh…”

If you think about it, I was an asshole who just sat back and watched while the two were fighting, but Choi Su-yeon’s aggro was so severe that Lee Yu-ri couldn’t even think about it and just silently accepted my consolation.

No, on the contrary, the way he wrapped his arms around me more tightly when I wiped away his tears seemed to think that this was proof that he had won by decision.

Meanwhile, Choi Su-yeon looked at me for a moment, then took out her cell phone and typed something.

When I checked my cell phone after lunch, there was a text message like this.

[Choi Su-yeon]: I was afraid of getting criticized by my senior, so I just held back. Instead, I’ll go to the convenience store later and get it all replenished.

#####

Even after the situation calmed down and Choi Su-yeon returned to the second-grade classroom for afternoon classes, Yu-ri Lee felt like her stomach was boiling.

‘You bitch… Seongjin’s girlfriend is me, me! I’ve already done it with Sungjin twice! No matter how much you tease…’

Han Seong-jin told her several times that he would not neglect her and that he truly liked her.

Now, Yu-ri Lee did not doubt those words, and Seong-jin Han also took his side at the scene of the fight.

Because of that one action, the fact that Han Seong-jin stayed silent while the fight grew was forgotten in Lee Yu-ri’s mind.

She didn’t like the idea of Choi Soo-yeon clinging to her, but since Han Seong-jin had already revealed that he was greedy for women and even gave her priority, her way of thinking was gradually adapting to the strange situation.

And two more days passed and it was Wednesday.

It was the day when the tag for the April written test came out.
