Just like last time, Yoon Shia was treated to ramen by In Ho.

Cup ramen and chive kimchi on a white table.

Although it was far from a full meal, Yun Sia’s mouth watered.

If I had to point out another point… yes, it was the presence of Kang In-ho sitting in front.

Her student was sitting across from her, pouring water into the cup ramen and waiting for it to cook.

“I’ll eat and go to class quickly.”

Yoon Si-ah, whose conscience was pricked by the fact that she was late for class and had to get food, said.

“You can drink it slowly. Pretend to eat quickly.”

Yoon Shia looked at In Ho’s face as the words became strangely short.

I don’t think it was intentional to not pay attention to this side.

As time passed, an appetizing smell began to waft through the lid.

“It’s all cooked.”

Kang In-ho muttered that, then lifted his chopsticks and scooped up some noodles.

Yun Shia, who looked at that scene for a moment, also picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of ramen.

The meal took place in silence.

The only sounds coming from the table were the sound of chopsticks clicking together, the sound of noodles being slurped, and the natural exclamation that comes from eating spicy soup.

“Ah, I enjoyed it.”

This was what Kang In-ho said after finishing a short 10-minute meal.

“Thank you, I enjoyed it.”

Yoon Sia was a person who knew shame. She thanked him sincerely.

“What, there are a lot of ramen.”

Kang In-ho said that greeting and got up from his seat.

He picked up the trash left on the table and put it in the sink, using a dishcloth to erase the marks made by the soup.

After a short cleanup, Yoon Sia went up to the second floor with him and proceeded with the class.

As if the studious attitude he had shown recently had continued, the homework assigned in advance had been completed neatly.

Filled with satisfaction and satisfaction, Yoon Sia was able to continue the class with a smile.

It was the first smile I made in two days.

Shin Jeong-ah sat on the sofa and glanced at her friends drinking alone.

She looked at the beer can in her hand.

The thing with the mouth open was something Kim Jin-tae had forcibly given to her.

She frowned and sipped it, as if she was about to take powdered medicine that the child didn’t want to eat.

It had cooled down and the lukewarm liquid went down my esophagus.

I’m sure drinking makes me feel better, but that didn’t happen today.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel bad?”

Kim Jin-tae sat down next to Sung Yun-ho, who was squealing, patting her back with his foot.

At a distance where thighs were touching, Kim Jin-tae put his ear to Shin Jeong-ah’s mouth.

“No, it’s okay.”

Shin Jeong-ah widened the distance slightly. The smell of stale cigarettes filled my nostrils mercilessly.

“Damn, it’s okay… Do you know that you’re walking around with your face so fucking crumpled these days?”

Kim Jin-tae said, putting a cigarette in his mouth from his front pocket.

“…….”

“Is it because of Kang In-ho?”

Shin Jeong-ah’s shoulders shook at his words.

Kim Jin-tae raised one corner of his mouth to look at it.

“Leave it alone. You don’t play with us anymore. I told you this before, right? That bastard and we live in different places. It’s obvious when you see that a kid who lives alone doesn’t even allow his friends to come to his house.”

Kim Jin-tae took a deep drag on his cigarette and then exhaled smoke toward the ceiling.

The cigarette smoke that rose upward dissipated, and the smell fell down.

“…….”

Shin Jeong-ah deep down thought that Kim Jin-tae was right.

However, a small hope deep in her heart was holding her heart from sinking.

I think that once Kang In-ho’s suspension is lifted, their relationship will return to their original state.

That thought was comforting her unstable mind.

Shin Jeong-ah sipped beer again.

The lukewarm temperature still made me feel bad.

“Isn’t that bastard a bit unlucky to draw a line?”

Kim Jin-tae, seeing Shin Jeong-ah’s attention, spoke carefully.

Shin Jeong-ah showed no reaction to his words.

“It’s a suspension now, so I’ll skip it, but if he continues like this when he comes to school, I’ll…”

“Jintae.”

Kim Jin-tae closed his mouth at the words of Shin Jeong-ah, who was sipping beer.

“Huh? Why?”

Kim Jin-tae, who looked like a strong man, looked at her.

“I am these days….”

Shin Jeong-ah twirled the beer can and took a nap.

“There is one person who annoys me. Can you help me?”

When all the listeners’ attention was focused on Shin Jeong-ah, she spoke with a refreshing smile.
