What is it now...

Did I just kiss a guy...? And a guy I don't even know?!?!?!

Looking to the side, the kids were all gaping in surprise. Then, I heard footsteps approaching from a distance. Then, the man in front of me turned my head again, grabbed my hand, and kissed me again. This time, it wasn't just a simple kiss. His mouth fell open, biting my lip, and something squishy entered my mouth.

​"Kim Min,! Uh, uhm..."

A middle-aged man's voice was heard from next to me, and upon seeing me and the man, he cleared his throat and left the place.

Can't you recognize a man just by looking at the back of his head...?

At first glance, it seemed like he was using me to avoid that person, but even after that person left, the kiss didn't end and seemed to only get deeper.

But what kind of person is this good at kissing...

As I began to feel increasingly out of breath, I finally came to my senses, hearing voices from beside me. Soonyoung pushed me and the man away. A thread of saliva, unknown to me, ran between us, then snapped, and our lips trembled.

"What are you doing now?"

"... Oh, I'm sorry. I ran away from my father."

"No, run away..."

I was taking slow, heavy breaths, and Sunyoung was next to me, wiping the saliva off my lips and stroking my back.

"Please give me that number."

"Huh, huh?"

"I'll compensate you."

"No, it's not like I can compensate you."

"Aren't you going to give me your number?"

" iced coffee... "

I was flustered by the man who suddenly asked for my number by handing me his phone, and Wonwoo stopped him, but the man kept pushing his phone out, so I slowly dialed the number while watching the kids' reactions.

"Thank you, I'll contact you."

When I gave him his phone back, he smiled at me, turned around, and left the building.

What does it feel like when this typhoon hits...

On my way home, I couldn't forget that scene from earlier, and I found myself playing with my lips. The way he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me during our kiss was so sexy, and the feeling was so vivid.

No! Come on, Yoon Yeo-ju! This guy must be crazy.

"Where are you going, lady?"

"...Huh? Oh, uh. They're already here."

"Whew- As soon as you get there, brush your teeth quickly and send me a KakaoTalk message."

"Huh? Yeah... Go-"

I was so distracted that I almost missed the house, but Seokmin stopped me. I waved my hand in agreement to Sunyoung's insistence and went inside.

"He's really gone crazy..."

"But, wasn't that Yoon Yeo-ju's first kiss?"

"Crazy. I'm that kid's punk."

"Hey, calm down first, let's go home."

" under... "

I was at a loss, wondering what had happened when school hadn't even started a day earlier. I couldn't even remember what Soonyoung had said earlier; all I could think about was that man.

He was tall, had a handsome face, and even his voice was perfect.

He's handsome...

"No, I told you to come to your senses, Yoon Yeo-ju?! Come to your senses!"

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Waxy, what's up, was your brother there?"

"You were here before you came? Can you take care of the people who live at home?"

Jeonghan, who found it odd that I was slapping him in the hallway instead of going home alone, mimicked my tone and sat down on the sofa. I gave him a vague answer and hurried up to my room, took off my bag, and lay down on the bed.

It felt like my first kiss... It wasn't bad. It was just soft... and nice.

-Yoon Yeo-ju.

"Huh? Young-ah!"

- I told you to go home and do something.

"Oh... I forgot... haha. Sorry."

- Go to the bathroom right now and do it. I'll listen in.

As I was idly frolicking, my phone rang, and it was Soonyoung. She didn't call me Jju or Juya, but instead spoke my three-letter name. I was momentarily startled, and I hurried to the bathroom. As I brushed my teeth and tried to talk to Soonyoung, I heard an angry tone in her voice.

- Just keep in touch with that person.

"Huh...? No, Gugun,"

- So, you're going to do it?

"No... I won't do it..."

- Okay, I heard you were brushing your teeth, so I'll hang up now. Hurry up and wash up. I'll see you at school tomorrow.

" yes... "

- Don't be gloomy. I'm worried all day and night.

"Ara.. sleep well, Young-i too."

My pronunciation was slurred from brushing my teeth, but Sunyoung, hearing my feeble voice, called me "Juya" again and spoke to me affectionately. I spat foam at the mouth and rinsed my mouth, then washed my face before returning to my room and changing clothes.

Something big happened today, so as soon as I lay down, my eyelids gradually closed and I fell asleep early.

The next day arrived, and today I was able to wake up right on time for the alarm. I drew the curtains, the light flashed, and I frowned. I glanced at my phone and saw several KakaoTalk messages.

I didn't know what he meant, but I got ready to go to school.

Today, as always, Jeonghan Oppa left the house first, leaving me to leisurely eat breakfast. Oppa's cooking skills were incredible, so I ate heartily, cleaned up, and left the house.

"It came out."

"Anyway, I'll eat rice for a long time."

"What, why are you all here?"

"Why, I said I'd go to school with you."

Coming down to the first floor, I was startled by the sight of the kids. Wonwoo, who had been leaning against me, stood up and walked ahead. Soonyoung patted my head and asked if I slept well, then picked up my bag and took it for herself.

"Hey, are you ready for the English test today?"

"Huh? What test?"

"...Don't even expect anything like studying from Yoon Yeo-ju."

I think I heard it in a group chat during vacation...

Not caring about such things, I waited excitedly for the bus.

Arriving at school, Wonwoo and Seokmin collapsed in their seats, exhausted. Soonyoung and Seungkwan headed to the cafeteria. Even after breakfast, they were still hungry, and as they debated what to eat, Soonyoung helped them choose.

"Eat this, you like it."

"As expected, our Yeong has great sense!"

"If you eat that kind of thing all the time, you'll gain weight. You'll just complain about gaining weight."

No, that kid...

Of course, I like sweet things, but I can never pass up chocolate!

After paying the bill, I returned to my class and was enjoying a delicious meal with Soonyoung. Seungkwan, who had just come in from talking to the class next door, opened the front door and shouted loudly.

"Hey! There's a transfer student in our class!"

"I'm Kim Min-gyu from 00 High School."

Um... So... you're saying he's a transfer student to our class? I'm screwed...

Not only me, but Soonyoung, Wonwoo, Seokmin, and Seungkwan were all speechless when they saw the transfer student's face.

"Min-gyu, since there's no empty seat beside Yeo-ju, let's go sit next to Yeo-ju."

" yes. "

Was it my fault for not making friends in this class? The seat next to me was empty. I couldn't raise my head as the transfer student approached me, and I sighed, resting my hand on my forehead.

"I said I would repay you, didn't I?"

" ... ... "

I couldn't say anything as I watched him whisper in my ear while sitting next to me.
