Two people walking quietly on the playground.
As if to break the silence, a vibration came from the female protagonist's pants pocket.
🔔Tiring—
The female protagonist flinched and took out her cell phone.
On the screen[Taesan]A message arrived with the name .
💬 Hey, heroine, did you get home? I was wondering if you got home safely.
At that moment, the female protagonist paused for a moment, and Jaehyun, who didn't miss that moment, asked.
"...who is this?"
“Uh...ah! It seems like it’s just spam?”
“Spam?”
"Yeah, yeah! These days, there's this thing called, "Sign up for something" haha."
Jaehyun looked at the female protagonist's face without saying a word.
There was something in those eyes, a small feeling of doubt.
But the heroine turned her head as if nothing had happened.
The heroine muttered to herself.
‘Why am I lying…? It’s just a mountain…’
I couldn't take back what I had already said, so I just mumbled it.
“Let’s go…! I’ll take you there.”
"...? okay"
Without saying a word, the two walked side by side.
After arriving home, the female protagonist finished showering and wrapped her hair in a towel.
Lying face down on the bed, I looked at my phone again and stared at the message from Taesan for a long time.
“Why is he… suddenly contacting me like this…”
Yeoju didn't think that she and Taesan were close enough to have a private chat with each other.
But Taesan's chat kept lingering in my head.
The heroine carefully moved her fingers to reply.
💬 Yeah, it went in well! Haha
As soon as I sent it, the vibration rang immediately.
Tiring—
💬 What are you doing?
“Huh!!! What the… Ka… A knife?! What the heck, really….”
The female protagonist, who was surprised and dropped her phone on the bed, stared at it blankly for a long time.
My heart was pounding for no reason, and my fingertips were tingling.
"Oh, okay. I have to go to school tomorrow... I'll just get some sleep."
The heroine forced her eyes shut.
But even in my dreams, I had a feeling that Jaehyun and Taesan would appear at the same time.
The next morning
“Hey, you have to go to the teacher’s office now.”
The heroine blinked and asked again.
“The teacher’s office…? Why me?”
"Oh, the homeroom teacher said you've been here for a long time, anyway, I told you?"
"Hey...!! Where... and you didn't even tell me why...."
"For a long time"
"Okay..."
When we arrived at the teachers' office, Jaehyun was already hitting his head with a bean.
“Myung! Jae! Hyun! Why do you always ignore warnings?
How many times have I told you that entering school facilities late at night is prohibited??”
"omg…"
"So~ discipline is super important for punks like you??"
"I'm not that punk?!?!?!"
"Then what is it!!!"
"It's just that he looks like a thug!!!!"
"Ugh...in front of the teacher...!!"
The heroine lowered her head, taking notice.
“I’m sorry, teacher… I was with you yesterday too…”
"Oh, Yeoju too? I heard about it, but I thought it was conveyed incorrectly~"
"Teacher, isn't the way you treat me very different from how you treat others?"
"....It's done! Both of you, two hours of trash service! We'll clean the schoolyard after class today."
"yes???????"
So that day,
Yeoju and Jaehyun began to lead a smart school cleaning life.
“Haa… I really feel like I’m being punished.”
Jaehyun grumbled, swinging the trash can.
The female protagonist followed along quietly, holding the volume-based bag.
“Then it’s a reward? Haha, it was our fault… We came in late...”
“Teacher, aren’t you going too far?! I didn’t steal anything… I’m a student at this school!!!!”
“I think it was because you said something about a ghost that I screamed in surprise…?”
“…I admit that.”
"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so funny, so don't surprise me from now on -_-"
The two laughed and picked up trash like empty cans and paper cups.
A schoolyard bathed in the secretly warm afternoon sunlight.
The school was peaceful after class.
“Hey, if I knew you were going to do this, I wouldn’t have gone with you to find your bag.”
“Then I’m stuck in that scary gym all alone?”
“I wanted to see that~?”
"hey!!"
The female protagonist kicked it with her foot,
Jaehyun avoided it and laughed.
But at that moment—
“Whoa—!”
The heroine was about to step down the stairs.
I stumbled and ended up collapsing.
“Hey!! Are you okay??”
Jaehyun came running in a hurry.
The heroine frowned, clutching her ankle.
“Oh my… my ankle…”
“Try moving.”
“No… It hurts…”
Jaehyun didn't say anything for a while,
He knelt quietly and turned his back.
“…carried.”
"what…?"
“You can’t even walk on your own right now. You have to be carried.”
“Hey… Don’t overdo it. Just take a break and—”
“Okay. Get on, quickly?”
The heroine hesitated for a moment,
I gently wrapped my body around Jaehyun's back.
“Haa… You really have a lot of things to do that will make you kneel.”
“You’re the one who surprised me, so take responsibility~”
"That's why I'm carrying your heavy weight on my back~"
"What??? Put this down, put this down!!!"
"Oh my, it's heavy~ haha"
So the two of them started walking affectionately behind the school.
And someone was watching that scene.
