━ What are you doing here instead of going in, junior?
This time, I was really surprised. I turned around in surprise and saw Jimin-sunbaenim smiling at me.
━ Why are you so surprised?
━ Ah... I was just a little surprised...
━ This. It's a digestive aid. I took it because I felt like I had indigestion.
━ Oh... thank you...
━ You have to look them in the eye and say it. Where should I look and say it? Look at me.
Embarrassed and awkward, I accepted his hand, but then bowed to the ground and thanked him. At his words, I cautiously raised my head and looked into his eyes.
━ Junior Park Yeo-ju, do you like me?
━ Yes?! No?!
━ Wow... I didn't know your voice was this loud.
━ Ah... no. Anyway...
━ You're cute, junior. I hope to see you often in the future.
━ Often...?
━ Yeah, often. Go down and take some digestive medicine, and see you later.
━ ···yes.
Jimin ruffled my hair and went into the practice room. I thought my heart was going to stop. I was so nervous. I came down to the Korean Dance Department, still trembling, in a daze.
━ Park Yeo-ju! What did you say, senior? Huh? Park Yeo-ju!!
━ uh?!
━ What are you thinking? What did your senior say?
━ You don't have to know.
━ Oh, I wonder.
━ My heart is beating so fast.
━ What did you do that made you so excited? Did you kiss or something? Hahaha
━ it's crazy?!
━ It's driving me crazy... That could happen.
━ Anyway... no.
I said no, and straightened my messy hair. I couldn't stop thinking about my senior. The class ended, and we headed downstairs. But it was pouring rain outside.
━ Huh? Didn't anyone say it was going to rain today?
━ What are you talking about? Check the weather carefully. I said it was going to rain. Don't you have an umbrella?
━ Let's write together.
━ The umbrella is small.
━ Hey! Then what do you want me to do?
━ Look behind you.
━ Back? Why?
I looked back. But Jimin was approaching from behind me.
━ Hey, you're not telling me to use it with my senior, are you?
━ That's right. I'll use it with my senior.
━ Hey, please share it with me, please... Our houses are in the same direction, right...
━ Jimin-sunbae is also going in the same direction, right? Sunbae!!
━ hey···!
━ Huh? Hara was here. Huh? We meet here again? Junior Yeoju?
━ Senior, the female protagonist doesn't have an umbrella.
━ huh?
━ Ah, just run. ㅁ, I'll go first.
I quickly put my bag on my head and tried to run, but someone grabbed my wrist from behind and pulled me along. The hand was large and strong. It was Jimin.
━ How can I run when it's raining so hard?
━ Senior, then please take good care of Yeoju. Yeoju, I'll see you tomorrow.
━ Hey! Ihara!!
He smiled at me and waved his hand loudly as he opened the umbrella he was told to use. He said he would push hard, but he really pushed harder than I expected.
━ Should we go?
━ Let's write together...?
━ There's only one umbrella.
━ Ah... I could just run...
━ Why do you keep thinking about running, let's go.
My senior opened his umbrella with one hand and grabbed my shoulder with the other, pulling me closer to him as we walked. I was shaking so hard I almost died. We were so close together, I worried Jimin might hear my racing heartbeat.
━ But why do you keep avoiding me?
At some point, Jimin-sunbaenim started to speak naturally and immediately noticed my intentions to avoid him.
━ When did I...
━ Do you really like me?
