“I see.. So, can I change like that?”
He opened his mouth to say, but the moment the words reached his ears, the female protagonist was so flustered that he had no choice but to close his mouth again. Seeing him open and close his mouth again, the female protagonist couldn't help but feel curious.
“What are you saying?”
Jeonghan coughed a few times at her straightforward question, then, startled, snapped and began to argue. His reason for arguing was not so much to cover up his own embarrassment as to explain the woman's words. After a few minutes of arguing, it was time for them to part ways. They said goodbye and parted ways.
“Hey, bye”
“Yes, senior-!”
Did Jeonghan know at this time that the tips of his ears were red?
---
"So, I heard that senior is dating that senior."
“What are you two talking about? Who is that senior and who is that senior?”
A false rumor has spread. It seems like it was spread due to a misunderstanding at the drinking party last night. Drinking too much can cause you to lose your memory. I think I drank a little too much last time, but I didn't know it would be enough to cause memory loss.
“There’s our older sister and older brother Jeonghan.”
“Wow, these two real scammers met.”
That was right. People would have thought that Jeong-han and Gwa-dae would be a better match than Yeo-ju and Jeong-han. Of course, Yeo-ju looked too young and immature, but Gwa-dae looked much more mature and beautiful than Yeo-ju, and as Gwa-dae, he was also good at studying.
But if you really look closely, there's not a single thing about him that's superior to the female protagonist: looks, personality, skills, or grades. But people judge him solely by his appearance, without even considering the details. That's why they're even less attached to him.
And even though he was quick-witted, Jeonghan thought, "What if these words reached the female protagonist's ears? Of course, she'd be hurt. Who would be happy if the person they liked had a lover?"
"Oh, my head hurts."
"Jeonghan,!! Come here!!"
"Senior, good luck with your date-."
These things are making my head hurt even more. The overachiever even acts like a lover. The junior next to him taps Jeonghan on the shoulder and tells him to go away, making his head hurt. It felt like I was trapped in a hellish place from which I could never escape. But,
"Senior! Senior Jeonghan-!! "
It seems like such a place is easy to escape from, judging by the refreshing feeling I get from hearing myself called. When I turn around, I see the female protagonist running towards me, sweating profusely. Does she notice the corners of my mouth turning up without me realizing it?
"Uh, why?"
" So,.. "
"Oh, tell me quickly."
" Ugh, that.. that's it,"
Why am I like this? My heart is saying yes, but my mouth is spitting out negativity. When the female protagonist makes a hurt expression, Jeong-han frowns. To others, Jeong-han seems like a very bad person, but Jeong-han frowns, annoyed that he can't comfort her.
"Oh my, heroine."
"Huh, yes?"
"Now, don't come near me. Got it?"
"Huh... yes..."
He seemed like he'd be successful as an actor, so why did he go to medical school? It seems like he ended up in college after wandering around, not knowing where to go with his agency. Yeo-ju now looks as if he's about to cry, then turns around and goes his own way. Jeong-han could definitely stop her to explain and apologize, but he can't move. It's probably because he feels like he'll hurt her again.
