Of the three most beautiful girls in our class, two accepted the maid cafe offer and none of them completely rejected it, so our class theme at the launch event became maid cafe and it gained momentum.

After that, our class spent time talking about the items, quantities, and prices needed to set up a maid cafe during break time or whenever we had some free time left after class.

In particular, when it came to choosing outfits, the boys were more proactive than the girls who had to wear them. They constantly showed me pictures of the outfits and asked me how I liked them, and many of them ended up getting cut by the girls.

As the boys’ motivation burned tremendously, our class’s festival preparations were more passionate and organized than any other class.

And during the preparation process, I was able to continuously hear interesting stories from Suyeon and Eunji.

“Really? Did that kid do that? He told me very confidently as if he would stop it.”

“It’s so funny? I said it was okay, but you meddled… Oh my! And did that person know where the convenience store where we work part-time was located?”

“Uh, right. Yuri told me that before. He showed me a picture of you and me kissing and revealed that I was this kind of guy.”

“Aren’t you still watching secretly somewhere?”

“So we are talking like this now.”

Even though I was sitting at the same counter as Sooyeon, we were talking while looking straight ahead at each other.

If we don’t come directly into the store, it’s as if we treat each other as invisible.

Of course, in reality, we were talking very friendly.

Suyeon glanced outside the glass door to see if anyone was watching and sighed.

“Ha… It’s frustrating. I want to live with my senior as usual, but because of Gong Young-bae, this is an unreasonable separation. It’s really not helpful.”

“Yeah, I’m frustrated too. Still… I think it will be over by this weekend, so let’s do our best until then. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. It’s the same for asking me to do something like this.”

“No, senior. I was saved thanks to my senior. Do you think something like this will cause dissatisfaction?”

#####

lately.

Gong Young-bae, who had effectively declared war on Han Seong-jin, was deeply troubled the entire time.

In my heart, I just wanted to beat him, but unfortunately, if we fight physically, I can never win.

I didn’t want to admit it, but not admitting it didn’t mean reality would change.

So he decided to steal the women next to Han Seong-jin.

Jeong Eun-ji had never been around Han Seong-jin from the beginning, so it was a fish she caught from the beginning.

Although we had meals together several times, it was an accident that occurred because Jeong Eun-ji made a reckless bet that was rumored throughout the school and lost.

And Sooyeon Choi.

Choi Soo-yeon, who must have liked him originally, suddenly became attached to Han Seong-jin for no reason.

She tried to ask the reason, but Choi Soo-yeon didn’t give her much space and there was almost no opportunity for the two of them to talk, so she just naturally walked away without knowing the reason.

But as school started, their relationship changed again.

Choi Su-yeon, whose grades were not that good, suddenly showed grades that were good enough to skip a grade and was moved up to the same class.

Perhaps it was to be with Han Seong-jin, but after the second semester, they never talked or ate together at the academy.

After seeing that, Gong Young-bae felt confident.

The two broke up, or at least had a really bad fight.

And judging from the various times and circumstances, the reason was that Han Seong-jin went to the water park during summer vacation with other women, excluding Choi Soo-yeon.

‘Well, if I told him that he had two more girlfriends besides himself, I’d probably fall in love with him.’

Gong Young-bae used that opportunity to approach Soo-yeon Choi, who seemed to be struggling and depressed, and they were soon able to restore their old relationship.

Although he couldn’t go on weekend dates with Choi Soo-yeon like before, the fact that their relationship had already been restored gave him a chance to win.

Several times, I secretly followed them to the convenience store where they worked and spied on their condition, but the two did not even look at each other and just stared straight ahead as if they were invisible people.

There, Gong Young-bae, who was confident, realized that he was now outnumbered 2:1.

All that’s left is to use the two people to continuously gaslight Yu-ri Lee, continuously highlight Han Seong-jin’s bad sides, manipulate her mind, make her naturally distance herself, and then take her own actions.

It was the perfect plan.

And the other two also talked to each other from time to time to get them more firmly on their side.

“Eunji, Suyeon. Is it really okay for you guys to have something like a maid cafe?”

“What do you mean by that, senior?”

“Now that we’re in the same grade, you don’t have to say you’re a senior. Hmm, hmm… I guess you could just call me oppa…?”

“Ahaha, until I get used to it, I’ll call you like I normally do, senior.”

“But a maid cafe? Why, what’s the problem?”

Eunji Jeong asked with her arms crossed.

The relationship had become quite cold after the last time they tried to force a kiss and were strongly rejected, but Jeong Eun-ji said, “I guess I raised my voice too loud because I was embarrassed.” Let’s forget what happened then. Instead, please don’t force yourself to do something like that.’ Thanks to the gesture of reconciliation, we can now talk as usual again.

“It means you have to wear your maid uniform and serve. Han Seong-jin is not the kind of guy who would think about wearing a maid outfit, and even if he were, other boys would flock to you and look at you with very sinister eyes.”

“Well, aren’t maid cafes the place that attracts attention in the first place? There won’t be any problem, right?”

“It’s true that’s the place to be, but… there’s no need for you to do that! If you think other kids are looking at you with strange eyes…”

Suyeon Choi slightly raised her eyebrows at those words and asked with a subtle expression.

“Hmm~ It somehow sounds like the senior thinks very highly of us?”

Gong Youngbae swallowed his saliva and answered.

“So, it’s precious! Sooyeon, you and Eunji!”

“Huh? is it so? Is that so?”

“Did you think so?”

“Yes… Because it’s precious! So, I hope you don’t become the center of attention for other men and Han Seong-jin at things like maid cafes!”

“Oh my~ You say such exciting things so casually? But what about Yuri? You were always on best terms with senior Yuri, right?”

In response to Choi Soo-yeon’s words, Gong Young-bae slightly revealed her inner feelings.

“That’s right. So… you’re friends with Yuri, right? So, I hope you can go to Yuri and tell her what kind of bastard Han Seong-jin is so that she can open her eyes properly. Right now, Yuri is being completely gaslighted by Han Seong-jin, so he can’t tell and doesn’t even want to listen to what I say.”

When Choi Soo-yeon and Jeong Eun-ji both looked at her in silence, Gong Young-bae wondered if she had made a mistake and hurriedly added.

“No, I’m not asking you to do it right away! Take your time and take your time-”

“So, in the end, you want to have a good conversation with Yuri, right?”

When Jeong Eun-ji asked, Gong Young-bae nodded.

“… Yes, that’s right. Han Seong-jin, that bastard, he was so relaxed and swaggering like he was in charge of you all. He goes to a water park, cheats on Soo-yeon, and ends up straddling his legs! I can’t leave Yuri around a guy like that.”

“Huh, I see, I see. So, is it good for the senior here…? Some news!”

“Good news?”

“Actually, we have been talking about various things with Yuri since last time. Senior, should we all watch this weekend after group dance practice?”

“What? Is that okay? What about glass? Do you know Yuri too?”

“Yes. Actually, I was having a similar conversation with Yuri before I came. Yuri said she understands.”

Gong Young-bae’s heart was pounding.

I thought I could finally get Yuri back.

“Yeah, really? Then don’t wait until then, just go right now and-”

“Oh, that’s not possible. Senior Yuri said that you need to prepare your mind a bit. They didn’t tell me the reason.”

Gong Young-bae could roughly guess the reason.

They fought so hard, and Lee Yu-ri was completely corrupted by Han Seong-jin, so it would have been too late for her to come to her senses.

She was able to tolerate the fact that Yu-ri Lee betrayed her and became attached to Han Seong-jin, a libertine and libertine, and the fact that she gave herself to him and declared her love for him.

As long as Yu-ri Lee returns to him, he can cover up that messy past and make her body and mind clean.

“Yes, I see. okay. There’s no need to wait a few days anyway, so I can tolerate that. But where are we going to meet and talk?”

“…… We have decided on that. I’ll let you know after practice for the talent show on the weekend.”

At Jeong Eun-ji’s answer, Gong Young-bae felt as if the stress he had been under throughout the semester since entering his third year disappeared like melting snow.

Since the start of the semester, things have been a bit confusing and frustrating, but now everything is returning to normal.

The week passed quickly and the fateful day arrived, Saturday.
