Jeong Ye-eun dragged the suitcase and entered the house.

“Yeeun! How did it go?”

The first to welcome her was her mother.

It contributed the most to traveling alone.

“Yeah, I didn’t ask you out… hehe.”

That smile was enough of an answer.

At least, it is clear that satisfactory steps have been taken.

She looked at her younger daughter’s smile with joy.

“Are you tired? Go in and rest. Mom will take care of your luggage.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

And, there was another person listening to the conversation between mother and daughter.

‘Travel with Choi Do-hyun…’

Since that day, Jeong Ye-rin has not exchanged a single message or phone call with him.

Meanwhile, I heard that her younger brother went on a trip alone.

‘First of all… school starts the day after tomorrow, so let’s talk face to face then.’

There was still a way left.

As usual, all I had to do was talk to him on his way to the school gate and slowly resolve the misunderstanding.

‘It will be fine.’

Meanwhile, while Jeong Ye-rin is trying hard to have hope.

“Hello?”

In real time, Jeong Ye-eun was achieving more than Jeong Ye-rin’s hopes.

-Uh, Ye-eun. Did you get in okay?

“Yes! Did you go in well too?”

-of course. School starts the day after tomorrow, right?

“Already…? Ugh… Where did my vacation go…”

There was a smile on the corner of his lamenting mouth.

After traveling together, I felt a little closer to him.

They weren’t lovers. It’s clear.

However, I could confidently say that we were a little closer to each other than others.

More than Yoo Ji-min in the same class, and more than Lim Chae-won from the club.

Remembering that fact made me feel better.

After finishing the call, she plugged her phone into the charger and lay down on the bed with a happy face.

‘lol…’

felt good.

It couldn’t be any better.

What more can you ask for?

It is said that human greed is endless, but wanting something more here and now would be excessive greed.

In fact, I think I am still enjoying happiness beyond my means.

She went into her comfortable blanket and hugged her doll, thinking about yesterday.

.

.

.

Finally, the first day of school.

Yerin Jeong started preparing early in the morning.

I thought Choi Do-hyun was angry, and I wanted to relieve him of that anger.

I went to the dry cleaners in advance and put on the academy uniform skirt that was as short as Ye-eun’s and the earrings he bought me.

After thinking for a moment, she put the choker on her desk around her neck.

That choker I’ve never used before.

Perhaps, his anger may have subsided during vacation.

As for the call… I may have been so busy that I didn’t receive it.

If he wanted, he could let off steam like he did last time at the amusement park.

My clothes were ready and I put on a little makeup.

She walked out the door and headed to the academy.

Yerin Jeong waited for someone more anxiously than she usually did at the school gate.

“Yerin, what’s going on?”

Another leading member asked.

Apparently, until the holidays, she enjoyed standing at the school gate.

Her boyfriend came to visit sometimes, and she could be seen enjoying talking to Choi Do-hyeon, a new friend… who was a ‘problem child’.

The appearance of her back then was nowhere to be seen.

“No, it’s okay.”

The way she answered like that didn’t look good at all.

It wasn’t just the atmosphere that changed.

Should I say that I decorate myself more than before?

I shortened the skirt that always reached my knees, and even wore accessories I didn’t normally wear.

This was something other members were also noticing.

‘I don’t know.’

Something must have happened.

Even if I asked more, it didn’t seem like he would tell me anything, so the leader turned his gaze away.

A tall man with dyed blonde hair caught my eye.

“Uh, this is Choi Do-hyeon. Hmm… I wore my school uniform well today too.”

“What? Where?”

“Surprise. That’s it.”

Yerin Jeong’s eyes followed his fingers.

Indeed, the person I had been desperately looking for since that day was there.

“Choi Do-hyeon!”

She approached him, calling his name.

-what? Where are you going, senior?

-I don’t know.

Even leaving the position he was supposed to maintain as a leading manager.

“Tell me a moment – ”

My heart pounded.

What kind of reaction will there be?

These were clothes he wore according to his taste itself.

A choker around the neck that had never been shown before, earrings, and a skirt that was shorter than before.

and –

Suddenly, Choi Do-hyun passed by Jeong Ye-rin.

As if he hadn’t heard anything, calmly and coldly.

‘uh…?’

He passed by.

Just like that. casually.

As if she were a ghost.

Whenever I spoke to him first, he always responded with that sly smile.

Even if she didn’t talk to him, he tried his best to talk to her and constantly made her happy.

When I met him face to face, I felt the shock he had received in more detail.

The method that was considered to be the last resort has completely gone astray.

‘….What do we do?’

Finally, she began to feel the true seriousness of this matter.

.

.

.

Cold disregard rather than hot anger.

If I get angry, she focuses on me.

If I respond with no reaction, she will reflect on herself.

In this situation, the latter is much better.

They distance themselves from each other, react coldly to her, and constantly create confusion about themselves.

She will look inward and let this chaos grow on her own.

“Yeseon!”

“Ah, Dohyeon! Are you here?”

We became much closer than before the vacation, and we smiled and exchanged greetings.

When I saw Moon Jeong-woo’s face for the first time in a long time, his expression was as rotten as expected.

At the same time, there was a hint of surprise, I don’t think I expected that we would become this close.

We got closer rapidly during vacation, so it’s natural.

She had been talking with Moon Jeong-woo until I entered the classroom, but now her eyes were focused solely on me.

“Yeeun, so – ”

“How are you feeling about the start of school?”

Even if I cut him off and go in,

“I’m already tired…”

Answers what I say. Without any resistance or discomfort.

I smiled with satisfaction as I saw her treating Moon Jeong-woo as if he were invisible.

After finishing the work of confirming our reestablished relationship from the morning, I turned to Yoo Ji-min.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen her face.

We met once at the beginning of vacation, and we haven’t seen each other since.

It was an unavoidable choice as I had to focus on other heroines that had to be finished first.

“So, Shu. Tomorrow again – ”

“Jimin Yoo!”

I approached her waving one hand.

“Ah, are you here? It’s been a while?”

She also welcomed me lightly.

Siwoo also followed her and said hello to me.

I naturally chose an empty seat and sat down.

They changed their posture little by little and looked at me.

“What did you do during vacation?”

“I just stay at home… and go out with Shu.”

“Nothing special happened, right?”

“Yes, thanks.”

Yoo Ji-min makes a mysterious expression, as if remembering what happened back then.

“If you appreciate it, please play with me too.”

“After you didn’t contact me?”

She laughed as if it were absurd.

“That’s right.”

“Right?”

“I’ll admit it.”

“What are you going to do after today?”

Yoo Ji-min asks about the schedule.

“Why is that?”

“I decided to go out with Shu, but I wanted to go with him.”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

Si-Woo looked a little disappointed, but did not express excessive hostility.

This is probably the result of spending a lot of time together during vacation and building up memories between the two.

A sense of leisure and stability created by time.

“Okay, Dohyeon. Let’s play together after a long time.”

On the contrary, he even invited us to play together.

It was something I would regret a few hours later.

If you come out so innocently, I’d be grateful.

“Okay, then.”

I nodded.

“Uh, I buried something here.”

At that time, Yoo Ji-min spoke to my hair.

“Where?”

“On the head.”

“This way?”

“No…here.”

Suddenly, she put her hand on my head and removed the dust.

Si-woo Si-woo was watching the series of processes in bewilderment.

It was worth it.

Contrary to her appearance, Yoo Ji-min was very conservative when it came to skinship with other men.

The only person she actively approached was Si-woo Si-woo.

Of course, compared to the level of skinship I gave him, it was far from enough, but it is important to look at it from the perspective of physical contact.

He is so surprised because he also knows well the meaning of this action.

Her fingers delicately touched my hair, pulling off the dust and shaking it to the floor.

“Ah, thank you.”

I continued the conversation naturally.

“Anyway, so – ”

Yoo Ji-min also continued the conversation as if nothing had happened.

Si-Woo Si-Woo rejoined the conversation with an uneasy expression on his face, and we finished by deciding where to go after the academy.

After a while, the teacher came into the class.

‘The eyes… are still fine.’

These were not the typical blank eyes of someone under hypnosis.

There was no hypnosis app for pigs yet.

The story was that it was still okay to focus on the heroines.
