I tried it once. And I needed to check my body right away to see if there was anything wrong with it. I needed to find out what the problem was!

‘Hmm, are you okay?’

First of all, it didn’t seem like anything bad would happen right after drinking it. I even thought that maybe, just like Yusera said, I just didn’t do anything.

So I just drank a whole cup of coffee, thinking that I should at least wake up.

Gulp!

The coffee was flowing down my throat. Especially since it was a cold iced Americano, I felt even less inclined to drink it.

No, why did you make me do this? Does he hate me?

I suppressed those feelings and held them back.

“Oh my, you drank it all.”

After drinking, I immediately checked Yusera’s reaction. If I had put something in it, there would definitely be some kind of reaction.

Let’s look at each other intently,” Yusera replied, frowning slightly.

“Don’t worry, I really didn’t do anything.”

“Okay.”

Judging from the fact that there was still no reaction, it seemed that there was definitely nothing wrong. So I decided to move on for now.

“Haha, I don’t know what they’re talking about.”

At that moment, Seo Jae-hyuk joined the conversation while laughing from the side. I thought he did that because he didn’t understand what the two of us were talking about.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it.”

I gave a vague answer and opened the book again. If there really wasn’t anything unusual, there was no need to force myself to suspect anything.

“I’m sorry for doubting you.”

So I naturally apologized to Yoo Seol-ra and started studying. And as time passed and I thought about it, I started to regret why I apologized.

No, it wasn’t his fault, was it? Why are you making me doubt him?

I had a hard time concentrating on my studies because I had a lot of random thoughts. So I wanted to take a break, but judging from the atmosphere, everyone seemed to be working hard. Because of that, it was difficult to talk to them.

“There, there.”

At that moment, Choi Na-yeon, who was next to me, spoke to me. I responded immediately, as if the boring time was over.

“Yes, why are you doing that?”

“No, that’s because the page keeps not turning. Is there something you don’t understand?”

“Ah.”

I guess I was just lost in my own thoughts. Thanks to that, we were on the same page the whole time, and I think that’s why Choi Na-yeon was a little worried.

“It’s okay. I can solve this problem by myself.”

I feel embarrassed that I received help instead.

So I tried to look at the book again without saying much. Then, suddenly, I heard the sound of someone falling down. Because of that, Choi Na-yeon and I were startled and had no choice but to turn our heads toward the sound.

There, Seo Jae-hyuk was lying face down with his eyes closed.

“Wow. What should I do? I guess I have no choice but to take Jaehyuk back to the dorm.”

I stared at the sight for a moment in silence and then muttered.

“I was a fool for believing you, you piece of shit.”

That was the end of my studies for today.

*

After that, Yoo Seo-ra naturally continued to take Seo Jae-hyeok alone. She said she was fine with it, and that she and Choi Na-yeon should just continue studying together. Of course, I didn’t know what he would do, and I was also a bit pissed, so I deliberately stopped him.

Where is this kid?

So I decided to just take Seo Jae-hyeok there after making a fuss. But Yoo Seo-ra seemed to be dissatisfied with that, so she glared at me deeply. Then, for some reason, she asked Choi Na-yeon a favor. She asked if it wouldn’t be better for her to be with me.

I couldn’t help but tilt my head as if I didn’t understand what that meant.

Choi Na-yeon also seemed to be about to say that it would be better to just go with it, but when I became more serious, she immediately seemed to agree.

Thanks to this, I was able to solve the problem very easily.

‘Of course it was a bit difficult.’

Seo Jae-hyuk, that guy is really heavy.

I felt like I wanted to throw it away and run away right away.

‘No, why the fuck do I have to take care of a grown man?’

Of course, there were many other complaints as well.

So the more I carried it, the more stressed I got, so instead of just leaving it on the bed, I just threw it on the floor and ran away.

So, I felt a little relieved.

Oh, this is cider.

From that day on, I decided not to let my guard down even a little bit.

The drink that Yusera brings, I just throw it away.

I couldn’t even let my guard down with food, so I just broke it. Thanks to that, there was nothing to eat even though I was in the cafe.

So, from the middle, I decided to just study in the library.

I was able to concentrate and it was good. From now on, when I say I’m going to study, I’ll just go to the library.

I continued to focus like that for a few days. Then time passed and the weekend arrived.

“Hmm.”

I even thought about not making an appointment today. That’s because Lee Ji-hye comes to see me every weekend.

I could tell why just by thinking about it. It was probably because he was curious about me.

So, I thought about getting help with training under the pretext of networking. But didn’t Yoo Seo-ra and Seo Jae-hyeok still say they want to study together?

Because of that, I ended up in a bit of trouble.

‘What should I do about this?’

If I leave them alone for no reason, it could be dangerous. But I’m worried about something like this. I feel a little ashamed of myself for being like that.

“By the way, didn’t you say that Lee Ji-hye was good at studying?”

As soon as I remembered that fact, I was able to find a way.

“That’s right, we just need to be together.”

I thought that adding one more person wouldn’t be a big deal anyway. I was able to feel happy for a moment.

Of course, it seemed like Yoo Seo-ra didn’t like Lee Ji-hye, but it didn’t really matter to me anyway.

So I could decide without hesitation.

“Will he come if I wait a bit?”

When Lee Ji-hye came, she made a suggestion. I have an acquaintance who asked me to help her with her studies. It was something very simple, so I felt comfortable.

Ding dong!

Just then, as if to scare me, I heard the doorbell ring.

I got up from my seat and walked to the front door. Then, with my usual friendly expression, I opened the door.

Of course, Lee Ji-hye was standing there.

She stood confidently in front of me, looking straight ahead with an expression of anticipation.

“Hey, it’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while. We met last week, right?”

“That’s right, like that.”

Lee Ji-hye laughs messily.

Honestly, he looked so different than when we first met.

“Is it training today too?”

She made a face as if she was saying something very obvious. Well, it was obvious, since she had been training almost without fail.

“No, I’m sorry, but I can’t train today.”

“What? Why?”

Lee Ji-hye took a step closer to me and asked. I could almost feel her breathing. I took a moment to gather my thoughts and answered.

“I decided to study with my friends. So I can’t help it.”

“, studying?”

Lee Ji-hye, who was speaking without hiding her embarrassment, was looking at me with a look of utter bewilderment. I tilted my head, wondering why.

“No, you clearly have no intention of studying.”

Oh, I’ve said that before. I remembered when it was and even the circumstances of that time.

Thanks to that, I was able to see and feel the horrible situation.

What the fuck.

But if I reacted here, it would be weird, so I decided to answer naturally as if nothing had happened.

“That’s true, but I promised it to my friends. So I decided to do it anyway. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance.”

“…….”

Lee Ji-hye glared at me as if she was dissatisfied. It made me feel a little scared, but I also thought it was kind of cute because she wasn’t really angry.

So I could still sit still with a calm feeling.

“Well, then. Can I help you with something… … ?”

“Yes?”

“Can I help you study?”

what.

Why do things get the way I want?

I couldn’t help but smile. I never thought I’d be so lucky.

“Of course! Actually, I wanted you to help me study for a while! Thank you so much!”

“Oh, is that so?”

I could feel a bit of embarrassment and joy from Lee Ji-hye. I don’t know why, but I feel good because she’s happy.

“Then, shall we go together? I’ll contact you in advance.”

“Okay, I understand.”

I hesitated for a moment to whom to contact, and decided to send it to Seo Jae-hyeok. Then I was about to ask where we should meet, but then Lee Ji-hye spoke to me.

“Where are you planning to study? Here, perhaps?”

“No, I’m thinking of finding a separate place. I usually study at the library, but I wanted to ask just in case.”

“Really?”

I looked at Lee Ji-hye for a moment, wondering why she was acting like this. She looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded and touched her neck. Then she spoke with a somewhat more confident expression.

“Then how about we just do it at my house? We can do it while eating something.”

When I heard that, I couldn’t help but be surprised. Of course, I never thought of studying at Lee Ji-hye’s house.

“There’s no need to be awkward! Just come with a relaxed mind and body, and you’ll have a comfortable environment to study in. Oh, of course, if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to.”

Yeah, I’d feel a little more secure if I did it at her house. I nodded to myself naturally at that thought.

“That’s not so bad, is it? ”

“I’m fine. You can come.”

“Okay. Then excuse me.”

When I said that with a smile, Lee Ji-hye smiled back as if she liked it. She was truly the kindest person of all.

Was that kid that cold in the original? Thinking back on it, it was a setting and story that felt uncomfortable.

At least in this world that has become reality.

“Then, just wait a minute. I have to tell the kids too.”

I immediately took out my phone. Then I thought for a moment about who to send a message to, and then I started to doubt whether it was really necessary.

That would be great, because I could just create a group chat and share everything. As soon as that thought occurred to me, I decided to create one.

‘It’s a bit annoying though.’

This will be more convenient later on.

So I just created a room and sent a message.

[Me: From now on, we’re going to study at different places. Is there anyone who is dissatisfied?]

After sending the message and thinking about it for a moment, I forgot that Choi Na-yeon was there too. So did I just speak informally to her? I could feel that it seemed a bit rude.

So I thought about fixing it even now, but I just left it as is and let it be.

[Seo Jae-hyeok: Oh]

[Seo Jae-hyeok: It’s a group chat room]

[Seo Jae-hyuk: I’m okay]

[Yoo Seo-ra: Where is it?]

At that time, Yusera sent a message, wondering where she was going. Given her personality, she would have just ignored it. Well, she should tell me what she needs to know, right?

With that in mind, I sent it.

[Me: Lee Ji-hye Hunter’s house]

[Yoo Seo-ra: No.]

Yoo Seora sent me a message with a very serious expression. Judging from the dot at the end, it was clear that she was serious.

[Me: I won’t ask for your opinion, okay]

I deliberately provoked Yusera and sent her the following message.

[Me: What about Senior Choi Na-yeon? If you say no, I can cancel it for you.]

[Choi Na-yeon: I’m fine]

As time passed, I received a message with an awkward tone, but since she said it was okay, I could let it go. So I happily told Lee Ji-hye.

“Everyone is fine.”

I could see that Lee Ji-hye was also pleased with what I said.

I felt like I was going to be lucky today.
