“Wow, it’s hot.”

Just when I left the alley and thought we were clearly far away, I ripped the bread bag covering my head in one go.

The heat contained in my disposable mask, which had become a mess, spread everywhere. Today was the first time I realized that even in March, steam can still rise from a person’s body.

“I’ll figure it out now, okay.”

My impatience was gone, so I walked down the street leisurely without having to run.

At the same time, I didn’t forget to take out my smartphone and go to the Kookmin Shinmungo website and play the role of an honorary police officer. Since CCTV would exist in this worldview, it would be easy to catch the culprit.

Of course, there was no law that said the truck driver could be caught just because there was CCTV, but wouldn’t there be a high probability that the story would turn out to be advantageous to the main characters due to the nature of the delay?

The culprit was caught, and Park Ha-eun didn’t recognize me (probably), so things went well.

By the way… I never thought my name would immediately pop out when I first saw it. It was a shame that they had turned over a bread bag in the middle of the night, and if they had just barged in, I wouldn’t have even been able to make an excuse.

Is there an option such as increasing acuity with the heroine buff? I still can’t forget the chill that ran down my spine when my name was called.

But anyway, it’s over. I killed two birds with one stone by protecting the bare minimum of my humanity and not getting caught. Although Park Ha-eun’s injured wrist was a little sore due to the hasty lifting from below, it was easily recoverable thanks to Geumtaeyang’s natural healing power.

“But why is there a vibration like this from earlier?”

Even while I was running hard, my smartphone would occasionally vibrate. Since I had to find Park Ha-eun first, I thought I could see her later, but the vibration started ringing again just a moment ago.

At this point, I had to at least check out of courtesy. Who on earth is desperately looking for this Lee Ji-woon? parents? Or did you have some other accident?

“Oh, there was one more person.”

[Lee Ye-ji: Ji-woon, what are you doing?]

[Lee Ye-ji: I’m bored.]

[Lee Ye-ji: Should I just go to your house? Or would you like to come to my house? There is no one at my house today…]

[Lee Ye-ji: But why haven’t I heard from you like this?]

[Lee Ye-ji: You don’t even take a nap. But there’s no way there’s no contact like this?]

[Lee Ye-ji: Don’t you remember what you promised in the hospital room? You were supposed to contact me on time. How many times have I brought you everything you want to eat, and you’re already like this?]

[Lee Ye-ji: Wait a minute. Are you really in contact with that bitch again? Yeonhee Kim With that foxy bitch!? Did that bitch tell you to chew all my Kakao Talk? that’s right? Is that right!!]

[Lee Ye-ji: Hey, Lee Ji-woon. Pick up the phone.]

“Oh. Damn.”

My eyes became dizzy from the gradient anger seen in the text. Lee Ji-woon’s heart did not start pounding even when a truck hit him at high speed, but he also seems to be unable to come to his senses due to Lee Ye-ji’s KakaoTalk baptism.

I think he’s playing drums and janggu too much by himself, but aren’t these all words that come from looking at Lee Ji-woon’s daily behavior? In the end, Lee Ji-woon was the biggest problem. It was a moment when Lee Ji-woon’s internal evaluation, which had risen after saving Park Ha-eun, plummeted in an instant.

First, I made a call. At the same time, my still legs began to tremble. This was a habit, you guy.

“Hello…”

[hey!!! Where are you now!!]

Before we knew it, Nyanyeji was no longer a cat, but a Baekdu mountain tiger.

“Ah.. I’m tired…”

Before I knew it, it was the next morning. The aftermath of the sudden physical exertion combined with the time spent clearing up Yeji Lee’s misunderstanding made me wake up very tired.

After remaining in a daze, the events of last night began to automatically replay in my head, like a movie being played. A picture of Yeji Lee trying to break into the house and me desperately trying to stop her.

In the end, there was a second inspection of the smartphone again, and it was only then that Lee Ye-ji, who had looked through all the conversations and SNS contents, asked me what happened. I felt a bit unfair, so I protested, but when I heard it, it seemed like Lee Ji-woon had a history of secretly meeting women several times.

Of course, I don’t know why Lee Ye-ji, who is not even his girlfriend, is interfering with women, but I had no choice but to refrain from saying anything because I felt like if I said something like this, I would be like a Tyrannosaurus instead of a tiger.

Looking back on what happened yesterday, I thought that maybe this was the best thing I did as Lee Ji-woon. Lang Yeji, not Nyang Yeji, was a bit scary…

In the end, that night, after listening to Yeji Lee’s Introduction to Women’s Studies for an hour and a half on a park bench, I was finally able to free myself from her. Actually, I thought that was the end, but he said he was hungry and subtly took me to a restaurant. I had to take an extra hour of classes there. help me. please.

Of course, the rice was delicious, and since Yeji Lee bought it, there really weren’t any major complaints. He said that since he brought it with him, he should buy it himself or something.

Eventually, when the food started to go in, the cat seemed to feel better and returned to purring again. It was a day when I thought about feeding my child on time from now on (※most important).

Anyway, after this crazy(?) night, I welcomed a new morning. As I was mindlessly getting ready for school, I realized that I was wearing a piercing without realizing it. Plus Lee Ji-woon’s trademark fluorescent jumper.

Because Hong Seol’s face came to mind for a moment, I threw the jumper with all my might, took off all the metal fittings from my ears, and threw them in the drawer. No more mistakes, Naver… We need to block all the Kkwandeokjis that can be linked to Hongseol, Ji-un Lee.

“Hello?”

“…Hello.”

“Why is your voice so quiet? Didn’t you eat breakfast?”

“Goodbye.”

“…I’m in too much of a hurry. It breaks my heart.”

Despite my efforts, Hongseol did not spare any attention towards me on the way to school.

Why is it that a person who has an impenetrable wall around other people is so anxious that he can’t talk to me? I intentionally checked my clothes several times out of fear of breaking even the slightest rule, but it was a moment like this that it all turned out to be useless.

Should I climb over the wall and go to school like Yeji Lee? To be honest, with Lee Ji-woon’s athleticism, he would have been able to quickly jump over the fence as if he were doing parkour. Of course, this method is only used at the beginning of the semester, so it won’t last long, but there’s no better way to turn off Hong Seol’s interest right away.

‘Starting tomorrow, we will go to school without walls.’

Even if there is electric barbed wire on the fence, I will definitely jump over it.

“Ha-eun, hello~”

“Hello~”

As I was waiting for assembly time, Park Ha-eun was walking towards the class.

Surprisingly, he looks no different from usual. It was hard to believe that this was someone who had almost gotten into an accident the day before.

I thought he would take a break from school today to get his mind together, but unexpectedly, he finished school on time. The shock I felt when I almost got into a car accident had all but disappeared. Was Park Ha-eun a girl with such a good mentality? That wouldn’t have been it.

Well, whatever is good is good. There was no need to think deeply about something that had already been done. The incident that would leave a scar on Park Ha-eun’s body and mind has already disappeared, and since I finished the job while hiding my identity, there would be no regrets.

And right now, it was difficult to even listen to what Yeji Lee was saying next to me. I had to give answers from time to time, and if this was too insincere, it could end up being a surprise. Living as Lee Ji-woon is not easy…

“….Huh?”

But suddenly, Yeji Lee stopped talking, and as if she saw something, she grabbed my wrist and lifted it up.

At first, I thought it was some kind of new prank among kids, but looking at the guy’s expression, it didn’t seem like that kind of thing at all.

“It must hurt… How did you get hurt like this?”

Yeji Lee with a serious expression. If anyone saw it, they would think that the entire wrist was blown off, not just a wound. Considering Lee Ji-woon’s physical abilities and his time as a high school student, a wound of this magnitude could easily heal in three or four days.

“I almost fell while walking down the street. It’s no big deal.”

“Still, should we just leave this alone? Look at the oozing from the wound… I can’t do it!”

The bleeding had stopped, but as she said, the wound was left ugly. Perhaps because that was unfortunate, Yeji Lee searched through the first aid kit provided in each class, brought out everything including disinfectant, ointment, bandages, and bandages, and sat down on my desk.

Honestly, other than that, isn’t the bandage a bit too overdone? My wrist was scratched, not cut, YejiYeji…

“It’s really not a big deal…”

“Write! Stay still!”

Yeji Lee was very stubborn despite my words. Then, with poor skills, I began my own treatment.

After soaking a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol, he carefully rubbed it on the wound, while observing my expression to determine whether there was any pain. The distorted face as if it were a self-inflicted wound was a bonus.

“Ah.. it hurts…?”

“No.”

“Ugh… How did you get hurt like this… Be careful…”

I wondered if disinfection made sense since it had already been 10 hours since the injury, but I just accepted it. In any case, there was a high probability that this treatment would not end until Yeji Lee was satisfied.

Then ointment. After applying the skin-boosting treatment, I tore off the bandage and placed it neatly over the wound.

Meanwhile, perhaps due to her lack of dexterity, Yeji Lee took off and reapplied the bandage several times, and finally reapplied a new one, shrugging her shoulders in satisfaction.

“Then bandages!”

“The bandage is a bit…”

“Write!”

“What kind of pet am I? Bitterly.”

Of course, I stopped because I said it was bitter. Speaking of which, in my next life, I want to be born as a large dog belonging to a rich family and walk around the garden without thinking about anything. The qualification for a pet is that it stops behaving when you say ‘Use!’, so I was the number one pet dog.

“Ugh… Why doesn’t it work like this…?”

“Should I just do it?”

“, stay still! I will do it! It’s only meaningful if I do it…!”

Is it stubbornness, or is it strangely prideful? For Lee Ye-ji, who had no manual dexterity, even wrapping a bandage was a moment of hardship. The bandage stuck out to the side or was not fixed and went around in circles, completely refusing to be wrapped around my body, as if teasing Yeji Lee.

In the end, Nyangyeji, exhausted, threw the bandage on the desk and declared GG.

“Aik! It’s annoying!!”

“I heard you don’t have to wear a bandage. Even if you just put a band-aid on it…”

“It’s just a moment. Let’s rest for a bit, and next time we will definitely succeed… Ah?”

It was then. Park Ha-eun approached me without a sound and started wrapping a bandage around my wrist.

She wrapped the bandage perfectly with great skill, as if she were a nurse. It was even clear how it was wrapped and fixed.

Since when have you been looking at me? I was so focused on Yeji Lee that I didn’t notice, but judging from the fact that she immediately put on a bandage, I guess she must have been listening to our story for quite some time.

“ Do this, and then after showering, apply ointment again and replace the bandage. If you don’t know how to wrap a bandage, I can teach you.”

“Uh… Well, um…”

“Oh, sorry. I interrupted the conversation without realizing it. Well then… I’ll go first.”

Park Ha-eun had a face full of laughter for some reason. What was so happy about it was beyond my ability to understand.

Even just the day before, I almost got into big trouble, so does that mean I’ve already forgotten everything? I guess what you told your parents was true, right? You shouldn’t worry about the heroine, but why does this guy make people worry so much?

Even though she turned around and returned to her seat, her gaze still stayed on me. Park Ha-eun’s face, with the corners of her mouth still turned up and a faint smile on her face, was so pretty that it was annoying.

“This foxy bitch… Park Haeun…!!!”

Oh, there’s one really annoyed person here.

For the sake of peace in the school and class, I once again managed to stop Nyanyeji from evolving into Rangyeji.

Strangely enough, blocking the process felt more burdensome than yesterday.

“…Bread bag, it was you after all.”

Park Ha-eun muttered, unable to take her eyes off her benefactor.

A dear old friend and a man who saved him from an accident.

To Lee Ji-woon.
