The next day, when I opened my eyes, I felt different than usual. I was a little tired, perhaps because I'd been on the phone with Seungkwan late last night and then fell asleep. After getting ready, I headed to the living room for breakfast.
"Are you awake? Come and eat quickly."
"Yeah haha."
"..what good thing happened? Why are you laughing like this?"
"What's the matter?"
Was I really laughing like that the whole time? I told him it wasn't a big deal and ate. We'd only been dating for a day, so it seemed a bit premature to talk about it now, so I decided to tell him later.
When I was almost finished eating, an alarm went off on my phone and I looked at the screen to see that there was a text from Seungkwan.
Seung-kwan.
- I'll be waiting at the bus stop! I want to come see you soon~
- huhOkay haha.
One thing I learned while dating was that he was very charming, completely different from the Seungkwan I first met.
I smiled and put my phone in my pocket.I ate wellAfter saying that, he put his bag away.
"Are you going to Yeoju school?"
"Yeah! You too, oppacompany go? "
"I have to go. Should I take you?"
"No, I decided to go meet the kids."
"Really? Then let's go out together."
I met my brother at the front door and we left the house together. As soon as I left, the first thing I saw was Wonwoo, leaning against the wall, playing on his phone. He greeted me and my brother, then followed me with his hands in his pockets.
After breaking up with my brother and what happened yesterday, I felt quite awkward walking to the bus stop, so I opened my mouth.
"I heard from Seungkwan, the reason you guys fought..."
" ah, "
"Thank you for doing this for me."
" ... my lady."
" uh? "
"Can't we get a little closer?"
" huh..? "
"As if it were natural to give to others."
I couldn't help but be taken aback by Wonwoo's words after thinking about it for a long time, and since I thought we were already very close, I didn't know what he meant.
"We're already so close!"
"As friends?"
"Yeah! Friend."
"Other than friends?"
I linked arms with Wonwoo and called him my friend. At his final words, my arms gave out. As I stared blankly up at Wonwoo, flustered, I heard Seungkwan's voice from afar.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Oh, that story..."
"Let's go, take the bus."
Seungkwan, who was at the bus stop, ran towards us in one stride, grabbed my hand that was resting on Wonwoo's arm, and led me along. Naturally, he intertwined our hands. Embarrassed, I quickly let go and lightly patted Seungkwan's shoulder.
"What if someone sees..!"
"So what? Just look at it."
" it's crazy.. "
Seungkwan smiled slyly at my words, and I looked around. When Wonwoo arrived at the bus stop, the bus arrived and we boarded.
"What is Boo Seung-kwan?"
"Did he eat something wrong? Why is he like this?"
As soon as we arrived at school and sat down, I was still pulling out my books. Next to me, Seungkwan was pulling a workbook out of his bag, and the kids, including me, were staring at him in surprise.
"What, what."
" it's crazy..? "
"What are you talking about? I'm going to study now."
" suddenly? "
Seung-kwan looked flustered because all eyes were on him, and the kids looked disappointed when he said he was going to study now.
"Well, just... Anyway, teach me how to study, Yeoju."
"Me, me?"
"Yeah! You, heroine."
Seung-kwan leaned over to me and spoke, taking me by surprise for a moment, but I nodded in understanding. The kids each sighed and shook their heads, and I looked over the workbook Seung-kwan had brought.
"But Seungkwan, wouldn't it be better for you to be on time? It's a little late."
"On time? Yes, if that's you, Yeoju."
"No, don't just agree with what I say, give me your opinion."
"I like everything the heroine says."
I laughed in vain at Seungkwan's words and scratched my head, wondering where to start.
"Do you want to go home after we finish today?"
"I call!"
" me too! "
"Not you guys, but the female protagonist."
"Huh? Me?"
"Yeah, please teach me how to study."
" ah, "
As school was almost over, Seungkwan suggested we go to his house. When the kids agreed, he looked at me and spoke, leaving me flustered. Then he brought up studying, and I sighed and nodded.
"Boo Seung-kwan, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"
"That's why-."
"Well, I can't stop you from studying! Haha."
Sunyoung and Mingyu looked at Seungkwan with disgusted expressions, but I still didn't mind him studying on his own.
After school, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, and I got on the bus, and Seungkwan was looking at his English vocabulary book while on the bus.
"Did Seungkwan Boo hurt his head yesterday?"
"Shut up, it's normal."
Wonwoo asked me cautiously, but his voice was so loud that Seungkwan glared at him and answered. I burst out laughing, and after getting off the bus, I had to head to Seungkwan's house today.
"See you tomorrow, Wonwoo!"
" good. "
" .. Should I go with you?"
" ...Why you?"
"I'll study too, okay?"
Seungkwan and I said hello to Wonwoo, but he asked us to come with him, and I wondered why they were acting like this today.
"Okay, I'm studying because I have a reason to go to college."
" ... okay. "
" bye! "
At Seungkwan's words, Wonwoo said he understood and turned around, and we were heading to Seungkwan's house. At that moment, Seungkwan suddenly grabbed my hand, and I, startled, turned around to look at Wonwoo. Fortunately, I saw Wonwoo's back, and I looked around and said.
"Ugh, really."
"I have to show it like this. I can't do anything at school."
"So that's why you didn't let Wonwoo come?"
"Well, just..."
"You want to study, right?"
"Of course, you're going to college, right? I'm going to the same college as you!"
I headed home, hand in hand with Seung-kwan, and our conversation was filled with laughter.
