Because Hong Seol’s face felt like she was looking down at trash, I had no choice but to write another epic.

At first glance, Yeji Lee’s words were nothing more than a joke, but maybe it was because of my past behavior and appearance. At this moment, I was like a piece of trash who had already seen a woman I wasn’t dating.

Of course, that was part of Lee Ji-woon’s daily life, so it was natural for him to be misunderstood.

But it was so fucking unfair. I don’t even know how much superhuman patience I endured on Saturday. To put it bluntly, it wouldn’t have been unfair if I had actually done it.

“…Yeah, whatever. I knew that would happen, but.”

“Hmm? It’s surprisingly easy for you to trust me, right?”

“At first glance, it was a provocative remark that seemed to make me listen. It looks like he was trying to scratch me, but tell your junior that it was unfortunate.”

For something like that, it looks like it was very scratched, senior.

She was a very shameless woman who had a rotten expression on her face just moments ago. Still, I don’t know why anyone would trust me right away.

“So, what did you do when you went to that girl’s house?”

“There was just nothing special. He said he was sick, so I nursed him, cleaned his house, fed him porridge, watched some Netflix together, and played around a bit, then I cooked him a meal, ate with him, and then I went home.”

“…..You’ve done a lot, right?”

The round eyes became sharp again. While watching the movie, there was a bad scene and it became awkward, and I wonder what it would have been like if we had ended up saying that we had an accident while playing around with each other. That kind of imagination should have been left to imagination.

“Oh, I got some chocolate too. I was surprised that it tasted better than I expected.”

“More than mine?”

“Are you really an elementary school student? Pay for the night, please.”

“I’m curious, this is the first chocolate I’ve ever made. I haven’t even tried it.”

After listening to it, I kind of understood it. This is my first time making chocolate that I always received, but it must have been frustrating if the person I received it from didn’t say anything.

So didn’t I say that? It’s delicious. I heard it was really delicious, Hongseol Hongseol…

“It was really delicious. Perhaps because they used good materials, it had a luxurious feel. Above all, it looks like a lot of effort was put into the decoration, which makes the person eating it feel really good.”

“Hehe, did you do that? Well, I think it’s natural, but.”

She was acknowledging herself by shaking her hair in an unfortunate manner. Of course, despite the unlucky times, the work created by Hong Seol was flawless. It’s hard to believe that it was the first time I made it.

“But from my perspective, I am grateful to everyone who gave me chocolate. That’s why I don’t like praising just one person, and I especially don’t like comparing. So, please know that if you ask that question again, I will truly cause you to regress.”

“…Have you ever heard that you are better at speaking than you think?”

There weren’t any, but considering Lee Ji-woon’s usual behavior, it seemed like it would increase. I may not be a natural eloquent, but I’m sure my eloquence is better than this brain-muscle Geumtaeyang’s.

“Anyway, I’ll admit it. I wasn’t mature enough. I’m sorry.”

“You just need to know. Because everyone grows by making mistakes.”

“Okay, thank you. Well then, I’m busy so I’ll stop.”

Hongseol started to leave my side with the same expressionless expression as usual. It feels like something has been resolved all at once. But it’s strange. Actually, to be precise, nothing has been resolved.

“…Why did you catch me?”

“Um… senior. And this is just a small request of mine.”

“Yes.”

“If you don’t mind, please remove the penalty points imposed today.”

The problem was the penalty points. As I said before, if you accumulated penalty points, you had to spend your school life with a huge handicap of not being able to use the cafeteria. This was a crime as heinous as buying a bun but finding no red beans in it, or eating chicken only to find it was dry.

If you go further, you can reach the disciplinary committee. Of course, for regular students, it would end up being a charity or volunteer time, but Lee Ji-woon was different. Not only were there teachers who were preparing for it, but their behavior in the past was poor, so the situation might have escalated further.

“…Your attitude was so confident, I thought I might have heard wrong.”

“People aren’t perfect, right? Because everyone makes mistakes as they become adults. Just like a senior from before.”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s true that I’ve been learning a lot from you lately. People don’t have to be perfect, much less can they be perfect.”

“As expected, our Hongseol senior is good at communicating. Then there were no penalty points…”

“But I’ll refuse.”

It was Hong Seol who hit him in the back where it mattered most. The feeling of all the fish you caught slipping through your grasp. When he looked at her as if asking if she was really going to do this, Hongseol just responded with his signature alluring smile.

“If only you are treated leniently, won’t other students feel unreasonable? What will happen to the kids who have received penalty points so far?”

“It’s okay. If you have any complaints, you can try to see if you can say it in front of me.”

“….I said I was good at speaking, but that’s cancelled.”

“Hey, don’t say it twice.”

Actually, it was an unreasonable number. In the first place, this unfair transaction itself was unreasonable.

But I also have no intention of stepping down easily. If there was no logic to overcome it, the plan was to eliminate penalty points by appealing to emotions or using expedient methods. You have to eat the melon bread at the concession stand! Please remove the penalty points!!

“Then, stop by the student council room for a moment after school. I have work to do today, and if you help me, I will erase the penalty points I gave you today.”

“Just get rid of it without any conditions. I am a person who has a disease that will kill me if I stay at school even after regular hours.”

“…50 penalty points.”

“I’ll stop by after I finish, sister.”

People must know when to back off. They say that you have to be good at pushing and pushing just like you handle Nyan Yeji. In fact, a deal like this to remove 3 penalty points was almost nothing, so there was no complaint in the first place.

“Ah, I will come with Yeji Lee too. If you want to get rid of it, please get rid of it together.”

“…The requirements are getting more and more?”

“Ah, why? Please do as much as you can. Don’t be strict.”

“Then, I will also remove his demerit points, so you are the only one who comes after school. It’s not a job that requires a lot of labor.”

“Yes? If you’re going to do it, let’s do it together and get it done quickly…”

“Hon.ja.wa.”

Hongseol sharply raised his index finger and stabbed me in the chest as he spoke. Maybe it was a phrase that they wanted to emphasize, but it seemed like a big problem if they ignored the effort put into each and every word.

Of course, Hong Seol would not want to be with a junior with whom he had an uncomfortable relationship. We had been fighting and fighting just a little while ago, so I guess they didn’t necessarily want to meet again after school.

Still, the conditions were not just okay, they were very reasonable, so I couldn’t help but slap my forehead against my preemptive trading skills again today. When trading, you only need to keep two things in mind. The confidence of putting an iron plate on one’s face. And preemption.

“See you later, sister.”

“Whether I call you senior, sister, or speak informally, will you just say one thing?”

“Yes, Hong Seol.”

“….100 penalty points.”

No, you said to do it…

“……..”

“……..”

A quiet after-school student council room.

It was quite surprising to anyone to see that there were as many as three students, including me, here. They just stared at each other for over a minute without saying a word.

This was not an ordinary reason such as feeling extremely awkward because we were from different classes. Hong Seol and Lee Ye Ji, who had been yelling at each other only this morning, are now together again, so how can they have a good conversation with each other?

“…junior?”

“Tell me.”

“Didn’t I definitely tell you to come alone?”

“That’s right.”

“But why did you bring that friend?”

“Sure.”

“?”

It was a conversation that ran on profoundly parallel lines. It was a question and answer that could have caused someone to misunderstand that I had a mental illness, but I was also just a victim of a lot of injustice.

First of all, I was a good citizen who had no intention of bringing Yeji Lee here. It was because I didn’t want to bring him in and have a cat fight with Hong Seol, and I didn’t want to see them fighting each other while keeping each other in check.

But how can you stop him from trying his best to come? No matter how many times I told her that there was no need to come because the penalty points would be offset together, a strange situation was created where Yeji Lee threw a tantrum like a child and insisted on going with me unconditionally.

I tried to say that it really didn’t matter if it was because of guilt, but it wasn’t enough to tug at this girl’s heartstrings, and in the end, it didn’t stop her from entering the student council room. I also don’t know how this guy feels. After all, it is difficult for women. difficult.

“Sorry about the morning, Senior Hongseol. I guess I was a bit sensitive because it was morning.”

“That’s okay. I’m not the type to keep anything in particular.”

No, I’m sure I’ve got all of that in mind. Finally, on the subject of witches, I said something I didn’t even mean…

“So, are you here to apologize for that? If it’s your heart, I already received it, so I’d like you to just take it back.”

“How can I say this? There is loyalty between friends.”

“I think listening to your friend telling you to go home is part of being loyal, right?”

“That can’t be possible. Jiwoon probably wants me to wait? Right, Jiwoon?”

As I stirred and stirred as expected, words that had nothing to do with my intention began to spread.

In particular, Yeji Lee was spouting lies without changing her expression, and she was so calm that for a moment I thought I was mistaken.

Or, he might actually be using self-hypnosis.

“No, I can definitely go home… Ugh!”

“Ahaha, our Jiwoon is suddenly doing something he doesn’t normally do? I can’t stop you, really~”

As if it wasn’t the answer she was looking for, Yeji Lee subtly put her foot back and pinched my leg. It was handwork that was almost like an art… no, it was footwork. If fans of the original work had known this, the concept of Lee Ye-ji’s shady work would have been set.

“You say you are a friend, but you keep embarrassing my junior. Actually, don’t you think you’re the only friend?”

“What are you saying, so annoying. And ‘our’ junior? How long have you been seeing each other before you act so close to ‘our’ Jiwoon?”

“I think you said in the morning that the number of meetings does not define a relationship. You’re really a single cell, aren’t you?”

“On the topic of the perverted leading manager who secretly gropes his juniors. So, I can’t send Jiwoon to the student council room alone. I know what bad intentions you harbor.”

“You seem to know everything, but do you think that all women are consumed by sexual desires like you? If you are frustrated, how about learning how to solve it on your own in a corner of your room instead of sneaking up on your junior?”

“What? Let’s have a game?”

“That’s not bad. You must have had the experience of fighting with girls by pulling their hair during school days.”

“Both of you, calm down. I’ll make it clear.”

To cool down the overheated atmosphere, I squeezed my body between the two women. This was because it seemed like a dogfight would break out instead of a catfight, so the referee’s intervention was needed for a while.

Of course, based on the old light novel original animations, there was a romantic era when fist fights between women were common. But that was a long time ago, and it shouldn’t be done now. Sometimes trends pass, and if you end up with scars, won’t your pretty appearance be damaged?

So, this Geumtaeyang had to clearly determine the route. When I came forward, Hongseol and Lee Yeji seemed to agree, and only after calming down a bit was I able to present a Solomon-like solution to our pretty girls.

“So you want me and Lee Ye-ji to stay apart, and Lee Ye-ji doesn’t like me being with you alone?”

“Yes.” “Yes, that’s right.”

“Then there is a solution that satisfies everyone. I’ll go home right away, and you and I will stay behind and take care of business.”

“…..Ah?” “……eh?”

This is Solomon, and this is the Talmud. It was an incredible insight as it was clear that if I had been born in Israel long ago, Solomon or three other names would have been recorded in history.

Afterwards, world peace was preserved today as well. Honestly, at this level, it was worth aiming for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. To stop the great war between heroines and villains so easily.

“Then, I’m going? Please take care of the cleanup.”

“……..” “……..”

“Goodbye… Wow!”

“This crazy guy!!!!!”

Oh…isn’t this this??
