“Damn.. they are seriously trying to kill me.”

Hongseol, who was chasing me in Super Saiyan Heroine mode, was unable to keep up with Geumtaeyang’s outstanding leg strength and completely disappeared from my sight.

In the end, it was not wrong to say that winning or losing a fight comes from running. Even if I were to face the UFC heavyweight world champion, I would never lose if my legs were faster. Of course, I didn’t say I would win. It means that we can never lose.

And this was a phrase that also applied to heroines in the world. I was able to avoid defeat today with my proud legs, and I defended myself from Hong Seol, who boasts a heroine of almost the same level as Park Ha-eun.

What would have happened if he had been caught? Since I didn’t want to even imagine such a thing, it was best to shake my head and quickly forget about it.

“Gotcha~~”

“Ugh!!! Buy, save…”

As I was about to beg for my life from an unidentified stranger who suddenly appeared from somewhere, I suddenly realized that the mysterious voice was far from Hong Seol.

When I quietly looked back, I saw our Geumtaeyang mk.2 Yeji Lee giggling brightly as if she was having fun.

“Why are you so surprised~? Lee Ji-woon, is all your old spirit really dead?”

“Whew.. People might be a bit surprised. Was it really any different in the old days?”

“Hmm? In the past, even if you fought a kid with a knife, your expression didn’t change at all?”

“….Crazy.”

Even though the knife was at best a cutter or carving knife, it was still a great thing that he wasn’t scared when faced with that blade. I also felt it when he saved Park Ha-eun, but Lee Ji-woon really had a strong heart.

“So, why was Lee Ji-woon so scared?”

“That happened. If you try to find out…”

“Huh? Hiding again? Don’t you remember what I said before, sir?”

Yeji Lee’s expression was clearly smiling, but her voice felt like there was a sharp edge in her voice. Avoiding the lion felt like I had encountered a tiger.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if I tell you, but I was very worried that if I did that, my best friend Lee Ye-ji’s blood pressure level would hit the high point. Let’s make it up properly. Yeah, like a rat came out…

“I was on the rooftop and a rat came out…”

“Did you get chocolate?”

“……Hmm.”

It only took 3 seconds for the lie to be revealed. She belatedly hid the chocolate she received from Hongseol behind her back, but Yeji Lee’s eyes were already fixed on it and she was firing a plasma beam.

“Whose is it?”

“……..”

“It’s shaped like a heart. I guess it’s loyalty chocolate or something? Right?”

“That… um….”

“Who are you?”

Lee Ji-woon’s heart, which was not afraid even when fighting a person holding a weapon, started pounding when he heard Lee Ye-ji’s lifeless voice. This wasn’t excitement. fear. fear. The survival instinct that was deeply imprinted in Lee Ji-woon’s genes has been passed down to me.

“…Senior Hong Seol.”

“By any chance, did you get it from Park Ha-eun too?”

“uh.”

“……I see.”

At some point, Lee Ye-ji’s eyes seemed to have become very cloudy. I have a lot to say, but it feels like I’m holding it all down in my heart.

The moment I was about to open my mouth, wondering what would happen if I got sick, Yeji Lee grinned and slapped me on the back. For some reason, it was so powerful that my stomach hurt more than when I punched it.

“It’s just a joke, Jang Na-an~ What can I say when I only got some chocolate?”

“I thought it was that kind of face.”

“Really?”

“No.”

I felt like I had to say no to her question. Don’t ask why. Because my instinct suddenly came out and told me to do it.

“Hihihi, since when did our Jiwoon become so popular..”

“I give it to you because we are close. In the case of senior Hong Seol, he probably owes me a debt for taking him to the hospital.”

“Do you really think so? Well, that would be the case.”

It was Lee Ye-ji who was unusually spinning the conversation today. It feels like the story, which would normally proceed in a straight line, keeps following parallel paths.

Usually in cases like this, there are many cases where something difficult to tell is hidden. Not only Yeji Lee, but most people reacted this way when they were hiding something.

What are they hiding? Actually, guessing wasn’t that difficult. The story I’m talking about right now. And, if we closely analyze the current situation, the answer is clear…

“Give me the chocolate.”

“…. This is ridiculous. Did you leave it to me?”

Yeji Lee was embarrassed, but her voice trembled in absurdity. Still, I guess it was the right answer. Just look at Yeji Lee’s face getting red.

“I knew everything I had prepared anyway, right?”

“Ah, what did you know? Even though I gave him chocolate all three years of middle school! You can’t give it to me this year!?”

Wow, they really kept giving. This is sincerity. I will definitely repay you for your admirable sincerity in some way, Yejikun.

“Gip me small.”

“Ugh…! Unlucky!!”

“Does this child know what chocolate tastes like? (in a pitiful narration tone)”

“don’t provoke sympathy! And it doesn’t suit me at all!”

Even the sponsorship narration, which was a surefire way to convert, failed. As I was admiring that failure, a square box was thrust in front of my face.

“Now! Loyalty Choco!”

“I was prepared, but I hesitated.”

“…take it away again?”

“I’m sorry, sister.”

I was able to catch the third dragon ball like this. Yeji Lee’s chocolate appeared to be a ready-made product, and among them, it seemed to be quite expensive.

Anyway, good things are good, so I was about to say thank you sincerely, but something suddenly caught my eye.

“…But what about those hands?”

“Hmm? Ah, ah…!!”

When I accepted the chocolate, what I saw was Yeji Lee’s hand covered in a bandage. Just as she was wondering about that, she started jumping up and down as if she had been shown something that should never have been shown.

“Ah, this! So ah…! Well, you know that… Ugh…”

What’s so bad about my injured hand that it’s fidgeting like that? It wasn’t a serious wound, just a minor injury.

In addition, Yeji Lee was engaging in several clearly suspicious actions, such as waving her hands and then suddenly turning her back, as if she realized that her hands should not be visible. If you get hurt, you’re hurt, so why bother hiding it…

‘….ah.’

After all, people have to be quick-witted. The moment all the puzzle pieces came together in my mind, I began to show off my acting skills to her.

“Wow, but thank you so much for the chocolate. This is a brand I’ve always wanted to try at least once in passing.”

“Huh? Ahhh! Yes!! That’s really delicious. Me, the Geogeodeun I’ve eaten…!”

“Is it okay if I don’t go to the health room to clean my hands? So, don’t go around fighting in the middle of the night.”

“Who, who is fighting!! Do you think I am you?? …Ah, anyway, my hands are fine. Because it was only a small cut!”

It was an unreasonable tension that seemed awkward to anyone, but as a sharp-eyed best friend, I just ignored it as if I didn’t know anything. Yeji Lee turned around and sighed in relief at the fact that I had been fooled, and it couldn’t have been more cute.

It felt like I wanted to pet it, but if I did that, another personality, Lang Yeji, would come out, so let’s refrain from such senseless behavior.

“Ah, no matter what! What’s more important than these chocolates is that you have to come to my house tomorrow! Even if a typhoon comes! Even if war breaks out, you will definitely come to my house, understand!?”

“No matter what, war is a bit…”

“Aaaah no!! You must definitely come! ”

“Ah yes, sister. Is there any question?”

Lee Ye-ji, who had returned to her usual self, returned to her classroom several times, making promises for tomorrow. It seemed more immature and naive than I thought, so much so that I wondered if he was a student after all.

“Youth, youth.”

He repeated this to himself, referring to both me and Yeji Lee.

“Ha…”

Friday evening. Ever since Yeji Lee got off from school, she had been stuck at home and endlessly trying to do something.

This act, which is attempted over and over again, even abandoning school with Lee Ji-woon, is none other than a great war of one’s own to make handmade chocolate. It could be called ‘Lee Ji-un’s heart-pounding operation.’

The main goal of this operation was to crush the work of the rivals by producing a huge quantity of handmade chocolate.

And furthermore, the sticky atmosphere in the house where there were only the two of them quickly led to a romantic relationship. When Lee Ji-woon left home, he planned to do everything in his power to seduce her so that she would become a slave to his love.

but.

“But why is it so difficult…”

A kitchen with tons of chocolate wrappers scattered around. Inside, Yeji Lee slumped down with a look of despair on her face. The unidentified liquid, whether chocolate or twisted dog shit from the nether, is a bonus.

Yes. Right now, Yeji Lee wasn’t even able to achieve her first goal of making amazing handmade chocolate.

The cause was his own cursed hands. The day before I gave loyalty chocolate to Lee Ji-woon. So, he started working on this on Thursday evening, but his hands were clenching his teeth and not following his head.

Even if I tried to follow the recipe I saw on YouTube, the results were extremely horrendous.

A lump of charcoal freshly taken out of hell, a rotten sediment layer in the Amazon jungle, manure just before being sprayed on crops in Gangchon, a vicious spore virus sent down from space, and countless other accomplishments experienced birth and death at the same time at Yeji Lee’s fingertips.

The kitchen in the house was already rewriting history, and even Yeji Lee herself was afraid of herself. It was to the point where I began to wonder how it was possible to achieve such opposite results by just watching and following along without much dexterity.

“If this is the case, then my plan is… Cough! Oh, why am I coughing again…!”

Only after coughing nervously, Yeji Lee calmed down and entered the third game. Last night was the first game, and a little while ago was the second game, so in terms of time, we had to win the third game.

“So, first melt the chocolate… Kellogg..! Behind… whipped cream… crunchy! Haha.. Why do I keep coughing like this?”

In the meantime, time continued to pass, so Yeji Lee had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue cooking despite her continued coughing. Even ignoring the state of his body, which was starting to fever slightly.

So the long-awaited Saturday morning.

“Ah, it’s ruined.”

Yeji Lee was lying down with a cold and was just staring blankly at the ceiling from her bed.
