“That’s how it’s established. This won’t be on the test, but it’s good to know the concept.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The sound of the professor’s lecture faintly passes by my ears.

There was only one reason why I couldn’t concentrate properly.

This is because Seo Ye-rin next to me is taking my hand from under the desk and playing with it.

For example, rubbing the back of your hand, twirling your fingers around your palm, or interlocking your fingers.

I don’t hate it or anything.

Rather, I am glad that you came here and are with me even though it is not my class.

‘The test might be a bit dangerous, though.’

I wonder if it’s okay to waste time like this by coming into someone else’s lecture.

“Sigh.”

This time, Seo Ye-rin took my hand and started rubbing it up and down her thigh.

I wondered what was going on because it felt like I was caressing her thigh, but when our eyes met, she smiled brightly.

There is no separate word.

Even though he just smiled, my heart felt warm and I laughed along with him.

This time I’m making various shapes with my fingers.

They made a ‘V’ sign, raised their middle finger, crossed their pinkies, and changed it to ‘OK’.

I don’t know what he’s doing, but he seems to be having fun with his hands.

I was quite absorbed in it, but I wanted to play a little prank, so I grabbed Seo Ye-rin’s hand, which was fidgeting with mine.

“… … .”

And when he held her tightly and made sure she couldn’t go anywhere, Seo Ye-rin pouts and lowers her head slightly.

Bam.

And then he bit my finger, it was more cute than painful.

He lets her go with a smile, and even licks her finger with his tongue, which is just like Seo Ye-rin.

I look at the finger that Seo Ye-rin licked, pretend to rest my chin on it, and naturally bite it too.

Indirect finger kiss.

Seo Ye-rin’s lips twitched and her cheeks trembled at the expression of affection that only we know about.

It’s also cute how he covers his cheeks with both hands, perhaps because he had a hard time controlling his facial expressions.

‘How did this kid act like that just now?’

To be honest, I also got a little nervous at times when dealing with my juniors.

Acting isn’t something that just anyone can do.

slap.

Seo Ye-rin, unable to contain her joy, squirms while lightly hitting my shoulder.

I didn’t know I would like it this much.

‘Children all have different preferences.’

If it was Yoo Ah-rin, she would have been embarrassed and cursed, but she wouldn’t have hated it.

‘Why are you sucking that, you crazy bitch!’

What would have happened?

If it were Choi Yi-seo, she would have made an embarrassed expression, but would have smiled gently and moved on.

‘Anyway.’

Choi Yi-seo was seen shaking her head as if she couldn’t stop herself and going back to focusing on the lecture.

“… … .”

When I think about this, my heart suddenly feels heavy.

I haven’t even left yet, but is it because I just talked to Lee Gyu-ah about the military?

Not wanting to let these children go, I held Seo Ye-rin’s hand tightly under the desk.

“Huh?”

Seo Ye-rin stares at me blankly, perhaps thinking that I came out of the blue.

I wonder if he felt something in his own way.

We remained connected without saying much, just by holding my hand.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: What did you do to Gyu-ah?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: Why am I getting a text asking me to please kill you?

It would have been much better if I hadn’t received messages like this on my phone.

Looking to the side, Lee Gyu-ah is glaring at us, tapping the end of her pen on her book as if she is annoyed.

“Why don’t you go somewhere else and do your dirty work?”

“Ahem.”

* * *

After class.

Seo Ye-rin and I came out together.

My cheeks were still burning from the secret emotional exchange we had during class.

As I go outside, the cold wind calms me down.

“Woojina, so have you decided who will be next?”

“Next person?”

“Yeah, who’s next? You said it can’t be me.”

“Ah.”

You’re talking about the bamboo forest manager.

“I’d like someone I know personally. That way, I can paint the bamboo forest more comfortably.”

“That’s just being friendly.”

“… … Woojina, honestly. I think I’d do a lot of sexist things if you were gone.”

Why are you sending me a terrorist notice?

I feel sorry for the person who will pass the baton next.

“Can’t you be patient for a bit?”

“But isn’t this a kind of outlet for me to relieve stress? When you disappear, stress just, just, just imaaankeum-!”

Seo Ye-rin stretching out both hands.

“It’ll pile up. Where should I put it?”

“I’m happy, but something feels strange.”

“So I think I’ll be using the bamboo forest often, but if I get blocked, it’ll be hard for Arin and Isa.”

“… … Why are those two having a hard time?”

“I’m going to keep texting you both.”

I’m going to get blocked from chat.

“So what? Have you decided? I see that there are a lot of applications for support.”

“That’s right, there were a lot more than I expected.”

Actually, it’s not that difficult.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people who supported me, and many of them had neat lists of posts and comments.

There are actually some anonymities that are decided in advance.

I thought that unless there was a major change, they would probably just pick one of those people.

“But there’s someone I want to ask first.”

“Who would you like to ask?”

“Yeah.”

I plan to ask each person separately and move on.

Seo Ye-rin didn’t bother asking who it was. It seemed like she thought she would just tell them if she knew who it was.

“So where should we go now?”

Naturally, the conversation flows in a different direction.

I don’t have a destination in mind because I’m just walking without thinking about anything.

“Where are the other kids?”

“I’m taking the same class as Arin and Iseo! I guess they can’t come now?”

“Oh, right.”

When Choi Yi-seo heard about it, Yoo Ah-rin followed suit and applied since she had time left.

Anyway, if Choi Yi-seo is with me, I can definitely get at least a grade.

“Oh my, you two are dating?”

Seo Ye-rin clings to his side.

Since I’m going to the military soon, I tend to cling to people around me without paying attention to their feelings.

It’s not that I don’t like it, but wouldn’t it be great for gossip to see an actor and a conglomerate’s son together?

“Huh? What are you thinking?”

Seo Ye-rin stares at me blankly.

“Era, I don’t know.”

Since when did you start caring so much about what others think?

“Where should we go? A PC room? Or a comic book store? I see there’s a comic book store nearby.”

“Let’s go to karaoke! I have a song to sing for the role I’m taking in February! Let’s sing a duet!”

He lowers his body slightly, wraps his arms around Seo Ye-rin’s thighs, and lifts her up.

“Gyah! It’s high!”

My face was half buried in Seo Ye-rin’s chest, which had risen sharply, but when I saw her raise both hands toward the sky in excitement, that didn’t really matter.

“Let’s go!”

“I’m so excited!”

* * *

Seo Ye-rin and Kim Woo-jin are going to a karaoke room to play, like children.

Choi Yi-seo and Yoo Ah-rin were sitting at the same desk. The professor had given them some time to study because it was exam time, but the important thing was that he hadn’t called roll yet.

The professor’s special measures to prevent escape.

As I looked into the bamboo forest, I saw that several students in the classroom were already swearing at the professor.

“I’m not even a high school student.”

Even though Yoo Ah-rin was also irritated and grumbling, Choi Yi-seo already had her earphones in and was concentrating on her studies.

Choi Yi-seo seems to be taking this as an opportunity.

‘I’m bored.’

What are the kids doing?

– Yoo Ah-rin: What?

When I posted it in the group chat of four people, Choi Yi-seo also turned her head to glance.

Then, he neatly changes the notifications to silent and closes the phone.

‘This is madness.’

I don’t know about Yoo Ah-rin, but Choi Yi-seo was pretty fired up during this exam period.

I have to go see Kim Woo-jin’s parents once before going to the military.

At that time, Choi Yi-seo wanted to say one more thing, so she was concentrating on her studies.

As I said at the glamping site, I also wanted to make it clear that Woojin Kim was not a bother to me.

– Seo Ye-rin: (Video)

– Seo Ye-rin: We’re at karaoke now!

“Oh.”

I put on my earphones and played the video that Seo Ye-rin sent. In it, Kim Woo-jin and Seo Ye-rin were holding the same microphone and singing a duet song.

– You love me more than I love you!

– No! Don’t go!

Even though the selfie was quite shaky, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the two of them smiling brightly like children while singing a sad song.

‘That sounds fun.’

The two of them are singing while rubbing their cheeks, and he feels like he’s in a quiet classroom with a boring woman.

“Hey, look at this.”

Yoo Ah-rin taps Choi Yi-seo on the shoulder and shows her the screen of her phone.

When one earphone is handed over, Choi Yi-seo lets out a faint smile, just like Yoo Ah-rin.

“Having fun.”

“Right, ah… …I want to go too.”

“You can go later. I’m going on a trip with him.”

Choi Yi-seo focuses on studying again.

But there were more than a few quivering words.

“Are you quite conscious today?”

“What is it?”

“What the heck. It’s about Kim Woojin. And give me your earphones.”

“Ah.”

Choi Yi-seo returns the earphones she had just borrowed to watch a video.

Yoo Ah-rin, who accepted it, smiled playfully and pulled a chair closer.

“Huh? Why are you like this today? Are you really sensitive about Kim Woojin? You’re so cute.”

“… … .”

Choi Yi-seo can’t really deny it.

The way she acted today was clearly different from usual, and her obsession with Woojin Kim was evident in her every action.

In the same case just now, you could have just let it go, but why didn’t you show that you were concerned by specifically mentioning the trip with Yoo Ah-rin?

“Why are you saying that? Honestly, it’s funny to even say that, but we’re not at the point where we should be jealous of each other.”

Yoo Ah-rin asks you to speak honestly as someone in the same position.

Looking at her, Choi Yi-seo sighs, puts down the fan, and whispers softly.

“Actually, I thought about that.”

“Okay, tell your sister.”

“… … I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Ah, why? Hurry up.”

He must have been really bored because he started showing affection in a way he doesn’t usually show.

“I have various thoughts about other people around me.”

“Other people?”

“So.”

Choi Yi-seo hesitates for a moment and then carefully reveals her true feelings.
