In the end, my secret that only Wonwoo knew was discovered, and the kids and their dad greeted each other brightly, and even invited me to come over to their house next time.
But I heard that these kids are already quite famous in large companies.
"Why didn't you tell me, heroine?"
" huh..? "
"Only Wonwoo knows, it's too much!"
"Oh.. sorry, I was going to tell you later.. "
"Well, it's up to him to say what he wants."
Although they exchanged some disappointing remarks, everyone agreed with Seung-kwan's final words and stopped muttering. After stopping by the infirmary to treat my swollen cheek, I returned to class, feeling slightly dispirited by the changed atmosphere.
Just when I was wondering if maybe the way I looked at people would change because I had been fighting, someone spoke up.
"Hong Yeo-ju, are you really the youngest daughter of 00 Company?"
" .. uh? "
Oh no, I didn't think of that.
Anyone who saw it would think that the kids who met my mom and dad were the ones who were talking, and as expected, when I looked at them, they were all busy avoiding my eyes.
For some reason, I ended up being found out to be a chaebol, and from that moment on, the kids' attitudes started to change.
"Hey, lady. Do you want to eat this...?"
"Huh..? Oh, I have a lot in my locker.. haha."
"Oh... really...?"
The kids kept buying me food, but since Soonyoung already had a locker full of treats, I declined them one by one. They all glared at me, but I refused, undeterred, and turned my gaze to my workbook.
"Hey, heroine! Shall we go out and play after we finish today?"
"Today..? I don't think it'll work out today.. "
" okay...? "
While I was solving the problem, Min-gyu pulled a chair towards me and said that we should all go out and play together. I said that I was a little tired today because I had to talk to my brother and study at the same time.
"Then let's play tomorrow."
"Okay! That'll do, what do you think?"
"Tomorrow..? Hmm, okay haha."
At that time, Wonwoo opened his mouth and said that he wanted to play tomorrow. He was the one who was the most lazy about playing, but today, for some reason, he was quite active.
After school, we left the classroom together. As I was fixing my bag and listening to the kids, I got a call on my phone. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was my brother.
"Yeah, oppa!"
- Hong Yeo-ju, do you want to get scolded by your brother?
"Huh? Oh, sorry..."
- .. Are you okay now?
"Of course haha. When are you coming today, oppa?"
- Me? Right now?
I was startled when he said "now" and asked the kids to wait a moment, but I raised my head at the sound of a familiar voice in my ear.
"Hey lady~."
"Brother?! "
My brother hung up the phone and ran across the playground toward me. I stared at him, eyes wide. I stopped in my tracks, awkwardly accepting his embrace. I felt the gazes of the kids around me.
"Ah.. this is my brother Hong."
"Brother Jisoo!"
" brother? "
"What, your brother's younger sibling is the female protagonist?!"
When I opened my mouth to introduce my brother, everyone seemed to know him and my brother greeted me with a surprised expression.
"Do you know each other?"
"We know each other because we meet often at company gatherings."
" oh my god.. "
I didn't even know that and I was trying so hard to introduce it..?
It had been quite a while since we last saw each other, so my brother and the kids chatted a lot, and I suddenly felt lonely, feeling left out.
"..I'll just go?"
"Oh, sorry haha."
"Oh, heroine, lol."
When I spoke with a pout, only then did everyone turn their heads towards me, apologize, and leave the playground.We suggested that we all go out for dinner together, but it was too much for everyone to ride in my brother's car, so we called a taxi and split the cost.
But why am I in a taxi and not my brother's car...?
"Hey, what do you want to eat?"
"Huh, me..? Just anything.. "
Of course, my brother expected me to get in his car, but I was dragged into a taxi by Mingyu. So, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and I were in the taxi, while Seungchul, Soonyoung, and Seungkwan were in my brother's car.
Meanwhile, in the car, their conversation continued without stopping, and Jisoo opened her mouth.
"I've heard a lot about you from the female protagonist, she takes good care of you."
"Is that so, Yeoju?"
"Yeah, but I'm glad you guys are here."
"Well, especially Seungkwan Boo takes good care of me ^^."
Seungcheol spoke, emphasizing Seungkwan's name especially, and Seungkwan, flustered, hastily covered Seungcheol's mouth.
"What am I!"
"I know everything, Seungkwan~, it's obvious."
"What, Seungkwan likes Yeoju?"
"Huh..? That, "
Seung-kwan's cheeks instantly turned red at Ji-soo's sudden words.
