I'm tired... I'm already so out of shape, but I'm having to compete in a sports competition.
I also practiced for the dance competition tomorrow.
As soon as I got home, I took off my school uniform and lay down on the bed.
Then I thought deeply about what had happened earlier.
.
(an hour ago)
"I think this is enough. Let's stop practicing."
"Ugh...ugh...hey, I'm tired"
"are you okay?..."
It was hard to answer, so I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay and put my bag on. I should go home and sleep quickly.
I'll go first! I quickly left the practice room and was strolling down the hallway when I heard a loud song coming from somewhere.
What? Are the other classes still practicing?
Out of sheer curiosity, I glanced through the window.

"..."
Huh.
For a moment, I almost couldn't breathe.
But I couldn't take my eyes off it.
What is it, Choi Yeonjun? Why are you working so hard?
Why, look at their skinship. What's going on?
"Even if it's a sexy dance, is it really worth going that far?"

"..? Lady!"
"..."
Oh, finally we made eye contact.
Ahem, I didn't see anything.
"Hey, why are you at school at this hour? It's dangerous. I'll take you there."
"Oh, no, no, you finish practicing, I'll go."
"No, this was the last practice anyway. Wait a minute."
...
I've been feeling this lately, but Choi Yeonjun is so affectionate.
That's why I'm so annoyed.
Am I being swayed by him or...
The feelings I had denied all this time
Do you want to be honest now?
I don't know either..

"Shall we go home?"
"Huh.."
Mom... what should I do? Choi Yeonjun looks cool.
.
.
(back to the present)
"Hey, Kang Taehyun. I think I like Yeonjun."
["Finally? Well, Choi Yeonjun pushed me that hard..."]
Unable to shake off the feeling of being anxious, I called Taehyun.
Wow, I thought you'd be really surprised, but it's more bland than I thought.
"..What should I do? I showed that I didn't like it so much, and now all of a sudden"
["There's no such thing as that. That was back then. It's okay now, things can get better."]
"But there's something else going on."
["What else is at stake? Just buy it."]
"Inaeun..."
["..."]
Yes, Inaeun
I'm still a picky person, but I'm a little scared of Inaeun who has become kinder.
["Hey, do you care about that? If you like it, why would a third party interfere?"]
Yeah... that's true
Yeah, don't worry about it, just like it
After hanging up the phone with Taehyun, I calmed my mind a little and went to sleep.
.
.
(The next day)
Our school performance starts at 1 o'clock
In the morning, each class has a booth with a specific concept.
Regardless of whether they were first, second, or third graders, everyone was running around, looking around like crazy.
Because I arrived at school later than usual, I put my bag in the locker and then found myselfThe girls in my class dragged me away.
He said he would give me the costume and makeup I'll be wearing for the sexy dance competition later.
Oh, it's annoying... Should I be wearing it already?
.
.

"...Hey, today is really a confession."
"what?"
"Isn't it pretty?"
Hey, I haven't looked in the mirror yet, don't get me excited!
"What about Beomgyu and Yeonjun?"

"Did you miss me~?"
"...They say even a tiger will come if you call it. But why are you alone? Yeonjun?"
Choi Yeonjun is busy getting numbers from his juniors right now.
"what!?!"
Where are you Choi Yeonjun?
He ran out of the class, grumbling.
You didn't give out your number again, did you?
Hey... that can't be it.
I took a deep breath in front of Class 8 and opened the door.

"Huh? Yeoju... What is it? You're so pretty."
"..."
"What, what? Hey, heroine, today... what day is it today? You're really pretty."
Yeah, today is the day... It's a festival.
No, that's not it... So where are the juniors who are getting numbers?
I was taken aback by the quieter atmosphere in the class than I expected.
(At that time, Beomgyu and Taehyun)
"Hey, look at that, Kang Tae-hyun, didn't I tell you? I told you that Kim Yeo-joo likes Choi Yeon-jun! Hey, this is 100% a hit."
"Holly... Are you going to openly say you like me now? By the way, Yeonjun is popular, isn't he? He even got my number."

"Oh, that? Of course it's a joke!"
.
.
"You... said you were getting my number... so I came to take a look."
"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm spreading rumors around the neighborhood that I like you, and who's taking my number?"
"Ah... Should I kill Choi Beomgyu?"
"Are you jealous? This is jealousy."
"Oh, who's jealous? Anyway...what are you doing alone in class?"
"I have to prepare for the competition now. Ah, if I were in the same class as Yeoju, we would have gotten along really well... Don't you look so pretty today, Yeoju?"
"..What is your team concept?"
"That's a secret"
Secrets are a piece of shit!...
Somehow he seemed busy practicing dancing.
"Hey, I'll get ready and call you. Go play with the kids first."
"..Okay, I get it."
Choi Yeonjun, you're being needlessly affectionate today too..
I was walking down the hallway alone, stumbling.
Someone put their arm around me.
I glanced back and it was Beomgyu. What was Beomgyu...

"You like Choi Yeonjun"
"...What? Who, who said that!"
"You are, you are... your expression says it all."
"Hey, it's a secret. Keep your promise."
"Tsk, you keep coming up on Facebook and asking if you have a boyfriend?"
"Huh? Me?"
"Oh, my friends keep asking me, so I'm annoyed, so I'll pretend to be your boyfriend just for today."
Haha... It's not necessary...
I nodded with an awkward smile.
Beomgyu dragged me around here and there, saying he wanted to go sightseeing.
Oh right, what is Subin going to do?
"Hey Beomgyu, let's go to the first grade classroom."
"Oh, right! I heard there are kids in the first grade who have a Halloween theme?"
When I went to the first-year floor, it was really crowded with people.
Why are there so many people?
"Hey Beomgyu, can you see me up ahead? I can't see you."
"I'm tall so I can see everything. Wow, those kids over there are cute. Let's go in."
Who is cute and where will they go!!..
He must have seen something alone, because he took my hand and went somewhere.
There are so many people that I can't see anything in front of me.

"..Huh? Sister!"
"Huh?.. "
As it turned out, the place Beomgyu dragged me to was Subin's class.
Oh my~~~ It was Subin

"Huh? What? Do you two know each other?"
He put his arm around my shoulder, asking if we knew each other, and was eating ice cream from some unknown source.
"Sister, you came out really determined. More than usual.. Um.. Better than usual.."
"Just tell her that she's pretty today, honey! Why can't you say anything?"
"..Yes, that's right. You look pretty today."
Oh, thank you
I think I answered absentmindedly because of Beomgyu nagging me from the side, but... thank you.
[Please gather in the auditorium by 1 p.m.]
"Hey, the competition is starting! I'll go first."
Fucking hell, the competition is finally starting.I quickly found a partner and practiced the choreography in the waiting room. I was nervous and on edge, but I was also in first place, so I was going crazy.
Okay, it's okay.. When this is over, kill Kang Tae-hyun first.
The Fed can just watch.
"Fighting! Let's do our best!"
.
.

"You tore up the stage."
"You little shit.."
"Oh, why! You did well! Then that's enough."
After successfully completing the choreography and returning to our class, Kang Tae-hyun teases us again.
"Hey, has class 8 started?"
"No, let's start now"
Haha, thank goodness I didn't miss it.
Yeah Choi Yeonjun, I need to see you.
What the heck is this? I haven't even had lunch in a while!...
I need to know why you didn't play with us earlier!
Yeonjun and his partner appeared in a song with a rhythmic and sticky atmosphere.
What's the concept? Zombies?
"Hey, how can a zombie do a sexy dance?"
Zombie, zombie, zombie is so funny
The Fed got the concept wrong. We're going to be number one...

"..."
...we'll come in last.
.
.
.

"Hey, lady! Did you see me? Did I do well?"
"Yeah, you're really good at it."
Your face is so pretty... damn
Yeonjun, who ran to me as soon as he got off the stage, looked very innocent, completely different from how he looked on stage.
After deciding that I like Yeonjun, I feel strange when I see him.
I was looking at Yeonjun with an awkward but cheerful smile when someone called out to him.
"Excuse me... Senior! My friend says he likes you... Could you give me your number?"
That's Lee.
I feel bad for no reason, so I just keep my mouth shut and watch.
Yeonjun answered without a second's hesitation.

"Sorry. I'll give you my number if my girlfriend allows it."
Hey, should I give him my number?
... Ha, ٩◔̯◔۶ Oh my! Who's your girlfriend?
I turned my head quickly as I felt my cheeks flush.
"..do as you please"
No, don't give me your number. Don't give it to me, Choi Yeonjun.
Ha... I gave a twisted answer again, contrary to my true feelings.
When Yeonjun saw me like that,
I said it again to the first-year girl.
"Did you hear? If you give me your number, I'll kill you."
"Ah...yes, I'm sorry."

"Damn... I'm so lonely I can't live."
"Choi Beomgyu said he'd be my boyfriend just for today."
"..what if I say that?"

"What? Who is whose boyfriend?"
"Hey, come on!!!"
Beomgyu jumped up and down and shouted no.
It's not my fault. I'm just telling the truth.
Yeonjun grabbed Beomgyu by the collar with one hand and beat him hard.
Oh my, Choi Beom-gyu teased me like that, but he's a total idiot!!
The festival was honestly not fun
The dance competition ranking results are out.
Surprisingly enough, our team came in first place
The Fed's team came in second.
"Hey, I'll buy it for you since you're feeling good."

"Sister, I want beef!!"
"Don't be a jerk, eat some tteokbokki"
As I was leaving school, I waved my wallet, saying I was going to shoot.
In an instant, the kids started making a fuss, grabbing both my arms and shouting, "Sister, sister."
Phew, money is the best after all
After barely getting Taehyun and Beomgyu off my back, I felt like I had forgotten something and looked back to see Yeonjun sticking his mouth out like a duck.
I was just throwing a tantrum, hitting a rock for no reason.
"What? Choi Yeonjun, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah... I was going to confess to you in a really cool way and give you all the prize money if I won."
"..."

"Hey, Yeonjun. You've been acting like a slob since earlier. Can you stop now?"
"Ugh... Hey Taehyun, let's go first. I'll contact you so you two can talk."
"Where are you going!.."
"Since you said you wouldn't buy me beef... I'm going to the pork belly place."
That bastard Choi Beom-gyu! Even pork belly is expensive these days.
No, the problem isn't the pork belly right now.
The problem is the Fed in front of me.
"Ha, so that's why you didn't even eat lunch and didn't hang out with us because you wanted to confess to me?"
"Honey, I thought I was going to die because I missed you every lunch hour.."
"But I won first place."
"...huh"
"..Then you're not going to confess?"
When I asked if he was not going to confess, Yeonjun seemed speechless.
He just looked at my face with a blank, surprised expression.
What are you looking at, Mr. Lee, I'm going to die from embarrassment
Why is there no answer!Am I a tea drinker?
If you were the one who made the first move... If you were the one who seduced her first...
"..!"

"I like you, heroine."
Choi Yeonjun hugged me and kissed me.
Ah, you're really fucking good, Choi Yeonjun..

Why does the writing seem so long?
Sorry for being late. I didn't save it as a draft, so the text kept flying away, I wrote it again, and it flew away again. It was a repeat.
Let's walk on a flower path from now on, Yeonjun Yeoju
