#2
Special Edition (VIXX)
On the first day, I quickly returned home. Before heading home, we exchanged numbers, and I told him I'd be starting my studies tomorrow, so he should know. I also told him not to complain about not studying.
"He didn't seem like a bad kid..."
When I got home, many thoughts crossed my mind. Why was he working there? What was he hiding? Did my parents know?
I know it's a bit much... I know it's a bit much, but it bothers me.
"Ha... let's not worry about it."
All I have to do is educate him. Yes, that's all I have to do.
.

"It's out."
How does time fly so fast? I'm sitting in Sanghyuk's room again.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult from the start.”
"Can I just let it go?"
"Yeah, I need to check your skills."
Yeoju waited, fiddling with her phone, while Sanghyuk finished solving the puzzle. It didn't take long for him to finish. It wasn't a small problem, but... did he solve it properly?
"I'll grade it."
I graded each problem one by one. But as each problem was graded, the female protagonist's expression was one of complete bewilderment.
"you..."
"What?"
"What are you...?"
There wasn't a single mistake. You clearly said you'd never studied before, so how did you get them all right?
"I'm a person."
"That's not what I was asking! I didn't expect it, but still, how did you get them all right when you put a difficult question in the middle!?"
"You're saying out loud that you didn't expect anything."
What the heck. That laugh. You're so cute when you laugh... Oh my god, what am I thinking right now?
"Anyway...! Why did you lie?"
"I didn't do anything during class other than just listening."
Was I supposed to be teaching geniuses right now...? The heroine, who was in high spirits, just stared at the test she had already answered correctly.
"Is this the end?"
"Huh? Uh... I don't have anything else to teach you. I didn't prepare anything else."
"Let's stop here for today."
"okay.."
If I do well, I might quit tutoring in a month. What's the use of teaching a genius!? Oh, you deceiver.
"...Teacher, which university do you go to?"
"I'm at ☆☆ University."
"You go to a good university."
"well?"
Sanghyuk asked me all sorts of questions. His expression and tone of voice were quite different from yesterday. I wondered if we could become close... but then I realized maybe it could.
"But did you put any medicine on your wound?"
"no."
My eyes had been drawn to it for a while now. I wondered if he was applying any medicine... but I was worried because there wasn't even a bandage on it.
"Oh my, why aren't you applying medicine!?"
"Because it's annoying. It's just going to hurt again anyway."
"....."
The heroine frowned and took a pouch out of her bag. Then she took out some medicine from the pouch.
"You're carrying all the medicine with you."
"If you carry it around, you'll need it someday. Like now."
She took out a cotton swab and applied ointment. Then, she held out her hand to Sanghyuk, who looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"It doesn't sting, does it?"
"...yes."
It was quiet while the medicine was applied. The female protagonist focused on the numerous wounds, and Sanghyuk focused on the female protagonist.
"Okay! Apply the medicine regularly. Don't just ignore it because it's bothersome."
"It's annoying."
"Haha... Then I'll apply it every day."
Sanghyuk looks embarrassed again.
"What a strange teacher."
"what!?"
"I'm going now. I have to go to work later."
"Huh? Oh... okay. Thanks for your hard work."
Alba... Do you work there every day?
.
.
.

Two weeks had already passed, as I met Sanghyuk every day and began to feel like I wasn't keeping up with his rapid progress.
Sanghyuk and I became very close, and we even joked around with each other sometimes.
Today, as usual, he went to Jindo, and was surprised to see Sanghyuk smiling most of the time.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"The wound is almost healed."
"Yes. Because the teacher applies medicine every day."
"Where can you find a teacher like this?"
"Yes, yes"
The phone suddenly rang. I told Sanghyuk to wait a moment and then answered.
"Today...? No, it's not like I have plans... Okay, I understand. See you later."
"Why do you look like that?"
"Oh, my friend asked me to hang out today. It's annoying, but... I guess it wouldn't be bad to hang out after a long time."
"Ah... Have fun."
"Oh, this is your homework, so do it."
"This is so crazy."
"^^"
Yeo-ju gave Sang-hyeok his homework and headed home. She changed clothes and touched up her makeup. Why did she do this? That's...
If you go to the club.
.
.
.
.
It was my first time at a club in a long time. Perhaps because it was Friday night, it was crowded, and the smells were a mix of different scents, making it a bit unpleasant. I wasn't particularly excited.
"What's wrong with Yeoju? Why are you so pretty?"
Since it was my first time at a club in a while, I dressed up a bit. I wore revealing clothes that I would never normally wear. If not now, then when else would I wear them? lol
"I heard the water is good today. Want a glass first?"
I had a quick drink. It was also to get used to the atmosphere. I looked around, wondering if there was anyone handsome.
“I guess it’s because the water is so nice, my eyes are in for a treat.”
"Right lol?"
The heroine and her friends headed to the stage. Although they were all strangers, they chatted and couldn't hide their excitement at the songs playing. Sometimes, a break from the norm is necessary.
As I was making my way through the crowd to take a break after a long day of play, someone shoved me from behind, causing me to lean forward. As a result, I headbutted the person in front of me...
"Ugh...! I'm sorry...!!"
"It's okay. Are you hurt?"
"yes yes...!"
Wow... he's handsome... he's tall, but his face is incredibly small. I think it was a good decision to come to the club today...
"Did you come alone?"
"No, my friends are playing over there. I'm going to rest..."
"Would you like to have a drink with me? I'm just about to go out to rest."
It's definitely nice. What kind of fool would turn this down?
I went to a bar and had a cocktail with a man who could be considered my ideal type.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 24. How about you?"
"Uh... I'm 21 years old haha. You can say whatever you want."
"Oh really?"
"yes!"
"Haha, so cute."
Excuse me. If you say that with such a pretty smile, I feel like I could just throw myself into the Han River.
"Honestly, you're my type."
"yes...?"
"I'm sorry for saying this from the beginning, but you're really my ideal type."
The female protagonist blushed for a moment, and the man looked at her as if he found her cute.
Mom, I think my daughter is going to die.
The female protagonist is already thinking about marriage on her own...
The heroine was still conversing with the man, when she suddenly turned her head at the sound of a familiar voice from behind her.
"When you say 'arguing', you mean 'arguing at a club'?"
"Ha... Han Sang-hyuk...!?"
Han Sang-hyeok stared at me with a frown. Was this the club I worked at...? Why... of all places... Why...
"Do you know him?"
"I know... he's my younger brother."
"Ah, I was nervous for no reason."
"her."
Sanghyuk looked at the man with an expression that said he was intimidated.
"...see you tomorrow."
Sanghyuk had to go to work, so he left. The flustered Yeoju just stared blankly at Sanghyuk's back.
"what's the matter?"
"No! By the way, you seem to be a good drinker. You look fine even after drinking strong alcohol."
"I'm not a good drinker, but I can still drink."
"oh..."
"Oh, right. Could you give me your number? I'd like to contact you."
I nodded immediately and exchanged numbers. There was no reason to refuse.
"I'll contact you when I get home. I need to go see my friends soon."
"It was nice, even if it was just for a little while."
"I'm more."
He smiled prettily and left. The female protagonist stared at his back for a long time. His lingering impression was stronger than she'd expected.
"Since when did I like older women...^^"
The female protagonist who liked a guy her own age. I have a feeling her thoughts will change starting today. Being handsome and pretty is the best...
Perhaps the heroine was looking for her invisible friends. No matter how hard she searched, they seemed nowhere to be found on stage, so she headed to her room, wondering if they might be there.
The room was on the second floor. How could I find my friends among so many rooms? I sighed, and then I started hearing a commotion.
"Is this kid crazy? Don't you close your eyes!?!"
It was a noise coming from inside the room. The female protagonist, wondering why he was making a fuss when he was just drinking, was about to pass by the room.
"Even though I have a US citizen tag, if you let me work, I'll crawl on my own!!!"
My steps stopped at the single word, "Mija."
no way...
Uneasy thoughts swirled through my mind. What if the person inside there was the Han Sang-hyeok I knew?
Yeoju immediately opened the room door violently, remembering the wound on Sanghyuk's face.
"what!?"
"Teacher...?"
"Han Sang-hyeok, you..."
The female protagonist is furious at the sight of Han Sang-hyeok in such a mess. Knowing that he's a miser, why did she turn him into this mess?
"What!? Who the hell is doing this!!"
"Fuck, won't you shut your mouth?"
"what!!!?"
"I'll take Sanghyuk. I can't let him work in a place like this."
"What are you? Even if you do that, this kid can't get out of here."
"Get that dirty face off of me. You don't want to get your head stuck in that ice bucket."
"This bitch!!"
The moment the man was about to strike the female protagonist, she struck him hard on the side of the neck with her phone. The man let out a short scream and collapsed, and the female protagonist dragged Sanghyuk out.
“Are you okay!? Why are you getting beaten up? You should have just punched that bastard instead of being upset! There’s another scar on this handsome face. Oh, I should have killed that fucking bastard...”
"Calm down. Take a deep breath and speak."
"...are you okay?"
"yes.'
"...Follow me."
Yeoju bit her lower lip and left the club with Sanghyuk. Sanghyuk didn't say anything. He simply stared at Yeoju, who was grumbling like an angry rabbit.

Damn. Portion control failed.
