When Park Ha-eun appeared, I swallowed the meatball in my mouth without realizing it. Yeji Lee was equally embarrassed, as one of the chopsticks she was holding fell and made a small noise.

‘suddenly?’

Actually, it wasn’t all of a sudden. Just yesterday, she showed interest in me and wanted to spend time with me (of course, it wasn’t like asking me out on a date), and this morning, didn’t she put a bandage on Lee Ye-ji’s wrist while she was whining?

Park Ha-eun’s appearance did not feel like a sudden natural disaster. That’s because a lot of foreshadowing had already been laid down.

So, it’s my leg. Wouldn’t you please stop now instead of being embarrassed? Still, if the heroine, whose name is Geumtaeyang, came to her on her own, she wouldn’t be able to say ‘Woohyo~~’ in joy, but would be so scared that she would be clutching her chest (more accurately, I wanted to grab her buttocks).

“…Well, if only for a moment.”

“hi. Thank you, Jiwoon.”

I thought about refusing, but it didn’t look like Park Ha-eun would give up that easily. It might have been a smiling face like usual, but right now, for some reason, that expression was strangely dead.

Is it because of what happened last night? No, that is to say, it was no different from usual until I started taking class. It was as if I had just seen something unpleasant.

I don’t know who offended the main heroine, but I felt sorry for her. This is the world in Miyeonsi. This is a game world ruled by Yoon Dong-gun and Park Ha-eun. You are now behind, unidentified bastard.

“Wait a minute. I never gave permission?”

As we quietly prayed in remembrance for the person who offended Park Ha-eun, among the three of us, there was one who spoke first. Surprisingly, it wasn’t Park Ha-eun, but Nyan Ye-ji, who was sitting across from me and purring.

Was it because of Lee Ji-woon’s influence? Ye-ji Lee had an antipathy towards Park Ha-eun even before she met her. It’s probably natural that Lee Ji-woon wouldn’t have said anything good about her.

But the problem is that even though I hated it, it seemed like I hated it too much. Ye-ji Lee’s sharp eyes were already sharpened, as if she was in the middle of licking a bowl and then an intruder appeared to steal it.

If two people fight, should I quickly mediate? It was a moment when my head became confused.

“I’m sorry, Yeji. Is it okay if it only takes a moment? I’m worried about Jiwoon getting hurt.”

“I treated that wound well, right? You don’t have to worry, Park Ha-eun?”

“That’s strange. In my memory, we definitely did it ‘together.’ Isn’t that right, Ji-woon?”

Park Ha-eun was still smiling, but it didn’t feel like she was smiling strangely. No, on the contrary, it seemed subtly uncomfortable.

In the end, the spark flew towards me. Well, is it that important to know who treated me?

Even though Lee Ye-ji, who usually builds her pride in strange places, had no idea why Park Ha-eun was involved in this race.

By the way, Park Ha-eun, it seems like the distance has become closer than yesterday. At that time, I remember that even when I spoke to him, he responded from a distance, but today he was invading my personal space without hesitation.

So close that if you move just 5cm, your skin will touch each other.

“You (Lee Ye-ji) took care of it in the beginning, and in the end, you (Park Ha-eun) finished it well. Why are you arguing about something like that, like kids?”

“Well, I was just saying it briefly, Ji-woon. We never argued…”

Park Ha-eun, who suddenly seemed to be in a better mood, returned to speaking shyly as usual. What are these mood swings? Was Park Ha-eun originally this kind of character?

As I was thinking about Park Ha-eun’s change of mind, which was confusing my mind, what broke my thoughts was none other than the intense pain in my leg.

“Ugh…!”

“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden, Ji-woon? Where does it hurt?”

“No.. nothing.”

I suppressed the pinching pain and carefully distanced myself from Park Ha-eun, who had invaded my safe zone. As expected, it seemed like Yeji Lee was pinching the inside of my thigh with her toe.

If you don’t like something, say it out loud. Do you really need to use violence like this, Yeji Yeji… Moreover, if I had adjusted the distance a little more wrong, it could have been something other precious that was pinched, not my thigh. If that were the case, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get up from my seat due to various problems.

Anyway, seeing as how she was able to do this while wearing socks, Yeji Lee seemed to have very good foot dexterity even though her hand dexterity wasn’t that great. In fact, I thought that he might have been a talented friend who could perform unrivaled in a certain area of the shadows.

Anyway, I couldn’t continue to endure the pain, so I lightly applied force to my thigh and pushed Yeji Lee’s toe off. At the same time, Yeji Lee’s expression of widening her eyes as if surprised was truly impressive.

“So what’s your business? If it’s because of the promise I made last time, I think I came too early.”

“No, that’s not it… I was wondering if I could teach you how to wrap a bandage…”

It was Park Ha-eun, who spoke shyly while wiggling her hands. Is this the correct response from the person teaching it? For some reason, I feel like something is wrong and I’m on the verge of cognitive dissonance.

As she stared at him with that thought in mind, Park Ha-eun blushed for no reason and waved her hand.

“No, there is no other intention… You have to take off the bandage when showering, but if you want to wrap it again at home, you need to know how to do it anyway… right? So… I was wondering if it would be easier for you if I could tell you…”

“Is that the only business you came here for?”

“…Ugh.”

A novel situation in which the person who came to teach is unable to raise his head.

Meanwhile, Park Ha-eun was so cute. With the patience of a saint, I barely managed to see my father’s smile forming on my slightly swollen cheeks. Because I didn’t want Lee Ye-ji to pinch my thigh again.

“Yes. Well, if that’s all.”

“Hihi.. Thank you, Jiwoon.”

Is this something I should be thankful for? Even if you’re nice, aren’t you being too nice? How are you going to get through this rough world with that kind of mindset?

For some reason, from the perspective of those watching, she was not at all at ease.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t continue to watch over Park Ha-eun for the rest of her life. I am a villain. You are the main character. Our sister products include ‘I am a teacher and you are a student!’, so we were never meant to be together.

So, even though I absolutely shouldn’t have done that, I started to feel bothered by the feeling of her skin constantly touching my wrist. Why are my hands so small and soft? When Teacher Dain Choi was about ten years old, I wondered if this was what it felt like.

“So, fix it here like this… Finally, put it in this part and fix it… Voila! how is it? Won’t it work out?”

“Hmm.. it seems quite persuasive.”

“Hee hee, right? I learned it from my mom. If someone around you gets hurt, do it this way.”

After watching it twice, I have now become accustomed to the natural method of winding it. Park Ha-eun’s gentle teachings also played a role. Because the voice was calm, it felt easy to concentrate.

But now that I think about it, there’s no need to wear bandages in the first place, guys. Who puts a bandage on a minor scratch? If others saw it, they would have misunderstood that it was almost hit by an oncoming truck.

“Okay, thank you. But please leave now. I said it before…”

“Ah… Yes..! Si, thank you for your time, Ji-woon. Then…”

Maybe he didn’t want to hear the words uncomfortable from my mouth? Before those words came out, Park Ha-eun hurriedly started to leave.

To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable. Such a good kid. On top of that, I almost had an accident last night, so I had to keep pushing the kid who wasn’t feeling well.

But is it possible? Not only could I not take the risk of a bad ending, but Ye-ji Lee across from me also had an unusual look in her eyes.

Even now, she was casting a passionate gaze towards me. Judging by the danger level, it appeared to be on the verge of evolving from Nyangyeji to Langyeji.

“Yeji Lee. Shall we go to the store? I will live.”

“…That’s it. I’m not in a good mood right now.”

“It’s unfortunate. I heard that Japan’s famous melon bread is coming to the store today. From what I heard, only 20 units will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis?”

“All, all, let’s go right now!!!”

…It was a very simple cat.

* * *

“The melon bread was delicious.. I want to eat it again!”

“Okay, let’s go eat together next time.”

“Hehe, you promised? If you break it, you get a punch right away?”

“What is weak in strength? I’m going to be late. Let’s get in quickly.”

“ung. ah! You know you have to wait for me to finish, right? Can’t I just forget and go home first? Really no!?”

Even as I entered her class, Yeji Lee encouraged me until the end. The gaze of those around me was still close to being unwelcome to me, and I wondered what would happen if those gazes also transferred to Yeji Lee.

She truly had the temperament of an ‘influencer’, but wasn’t her opponent Lee Ji-woon? It wouldn’t be very good for Yeji Lee if it was revealed that she was still involved with me.

Of course, instead of paying attention to the stares, he clung to me as if he was enjoying them more. Well, if I had worried about that, I wouldn’t have remained Lee Ji-woon’s best friend since middle school, so it was just a needless worry.

Yeah, there’s no need to worry. Compared to the being that is in front of me now, such things are so trivial that they are just fragmentary worries that cannot even be counted on the scale of worry.

because.

“…Would you like to talk for a moment? Lee Ji-woon.”

Because right now, Yoon Dong-gun, the main character in the work, was standing proudly in front of me.
