At the beginning of winter

Please come see me

"Ha..."

"Yejun, senior?.."

"Ah, um, I’ll explain everything"

Yejun senior explained what had happened up to then. Apparently, Yejun senior had originally been the leader-type of a gang of delinquents. But after developing the desire to get into a good university, he threw himself into studying. He ended up first in the entire school, naturally became well known, and then even became student body president. Of course, his handsome face probably helped too.

"Ah..being first in the entire school..isn’t easy..you’re amazing"

"Once I set my mind to something, I don’t give up until I achieve that goal"

-Ding-ding ding-ding-

It was Eunho calling.

"Hello?"

That was when Yejun senior snatched the phone and cut off the call.

"?"

"I know I was being forceful just now, but everything you just saw has to stay a secret...okay?"
"So..."

As Yejun senior kept coming closer, I had no choice but to back away.

'Thud'
A wall. I had hit the wall; there was nowhere left to run.

"Will you tell?"

"Huh? About what..?"

"My true self. You’re not going to tell anyone, right? This is a secret just between us. You understand, don’t you"

"..Yes"

The next day at school, my head hurt all day. Just thinking about what happened yesterday made my head throb, and my face flushed.

"Hey! Why did you hang up on my call yesterday?? Did something happen?"

"(Something did happen..)..umm? No~? Not at all?"

"? Did I eat something bad or what. Oh, anyway, that guy I said I’d introduce you to.."

What caught my eye as I absentmindedly turned was Hamin. He was gesturing for me to come out. Happy to see Hamin after such a long time, I left Eunho, who was speaking, behind and went out.

"Oh, Hamin~ Long time no see~"

"Ah, noona, noona, I’ve got a match this weekend. Come watch me."

"Oh really? It’s tomorrow already? Oh, I should go, I should go"

"Really?! Hehe"

"Hahahahaha look at that reaction hahaha"

"As for where the match is..."

Eunho didn’t miss a single word of that conversation.

'Ugh..a precious golden weekend..but! I have to go see Hamin'

"Huh?!?!?! Hey, why are you here"
