Byul stared blankly into one spot, lost in thought. The more she pondered it, the more it dragged on, and it was only natural. "Seriously, it's been a week without contact. What the...?" Byul banged her fist on the desk, feeling agitated. Yongseon, startled, struck Byul on the back of the head with a sharp blow.



“Oh, why are you like that these days?”



“It won’t work.”



“What’s wrong?”



Byul rose from her chair and packed her belongings. Hyejin grabbed Byul's wrist and looked at her strangely, asking where she was going. Byul pulled Hyejin's hand away, throwing a fit. It was nothing.



“I need to ask the teacher-”



“Hey. You’re not even calling. You’re not usually like that.”



“Oh, what does it matter?”



“Seulgi will be here soon - why don’t you stay a little longer?”



“You guys should just play among yourselves.”



“You’re not the type of person who would normally procrastinate-,”



“There is something like that. Wait a minute, wait a minute.”



Byul simply told her to wait and then rushed off somewhere. Something must have happened. She'd told her lover she'd sorted things out, but she didn't know what to say to Wheein. She took a deep breath and let it out. She called Wheein, but she didn't answer, only the sound of a strange woman's voice. As soon as she arrived at Wheein's house, she quietly pressed the door lock. But her heavy breathing couldn't be hidden. When she quietly opened the door, it was quiet. Byul held her breath and headed to Wheein's room. "Is this okay?" But contrary to her thoughts, her body wouldn't listen. She carefully opened the door and confirmed Wheein was there. Then, she realized she was with someone. It felt like the first time she'd seen him smile so brightly, but the corners of his mouth began to droop. The voice sounded familiar. It was a deep man's voice. Soon, Wheein burst into tears at the man's words, and she began to turn on her phone. So that's why her phone was off. Byul started to crawl out again carefully, feeling like she would be caught again. Nothing seemed to be happening, but why did she feel so nervous. At that moment, Byul's phone rang. Hyejin, Ahn Hyejin, crazy, so fucking crazy.. Byul hurriedly turned it to silent, but it didn't seem to divert Wheein and the man's attention. How could she only realize the man's identity at such a delicate moment? Am I really an idiot.. Byul sensed Wheein leaving the room and quickly opened the door and left. She hoped she wouldn't be caught? Byul started walking back to her cafe, panting. When she arrived at the cafe, Seulgi was also walking towards the cafe at that moment.



“Oh, Moonbyul?”



“Ha, haa.. Kang Seul-gi.”



“Did you run here?”



"huh."



"perception?"



“Huh? No, I have something to do.”



“Let’s go in.”



Byul was once again lashing out at Hyejin, who had nearly stripped him of his soul. She questioned if he was even in his right mind. She composed herself again and decided to moisten her throat with coffee. Then, she poured it down her throat like crazy. Unaware of the heat, she coughed wildly again, then collapsed, seemingly exhausted.



“Hey, what’s going on?”



“Ha, I don’t know. Don’t talk to me-..”



“Why are you running around excitedly and then running back excitedly? Why are you acting like this?”



“Ha.. Should I not go to school?”



“You weren’t going to go originally.”



“You too.”



"that's right."



“First of all, tomorrow is Monday.”



“Why is the atmosphere like this among your friends who are drinking?”



“He’s the only one like that.”



“What about the concert?”



"of course."



“How was it?”



"huh."



“Did you go to Korea?”



“Huh? You didn’t know?”



Seol-gi slapped Byul's shoulder, seeming to be upset. Yong-seon and Hye-jin were naturally busy taunting Seol-gi. Seol-gi would try to manage her popularity by offering to buy her food. "My life is always being dragged along by Seol-gi," Byul sighed and followed Hye-jin to her feet.
