Beomgyu chatted with Yeoju and fell asleep with a happy smile on his face without even realizing it. When the sun woke up in the morning, Beomgyu applied lotion, which he rarely used, and prepared himself thoroughly. He arrived at school after walking while running simulations in his head.
“Huh? Hi, Beomgyu!!”
Beomgyu couldn't help but freeze. It was because Yeoju had greeted him first. He had clearly been worried about what to do if she didn't return his greeting, so he never imagined she would greet him first.
“O-uh... hi...!”
Since Beomgyu and Yeoju were in different classes, they couldn't be together for a long time, but BeomGyu felt as though his day was filled with happiness just from the fact that Yeoju had greeted him.The long class time ended, and finally, it was time to go home.
There are no special closing remarks today. Class president, let's say hello.
"Attention, bow, salute! Goodbye~"
Beomgyu gave a rough nod, sprang out of the classroom like a spring, and went straight to Yeoju's class. Fortunately, Yeoju's class tended to finish later than Beomgyu's, so Beomgyu waited for her.
“Huh? What? You were waiting for me?”
Beomgyu answered with a bright smile without saying a word.
Just then, Beomgyu's friend approached Yeoju. Actually, he was more of a guy hanging around Beomgyu than a friend, but it bothered Yeoju for no reason because he seemed to like her lately.
“Oh? Hi, Yeoju hehe. Want to walk home together?”
Fuck.
Beomgyu muttered a curse in a low voice so that no one could hear. Whether he couldn't see Beomgyu standing beside him first or was just pretending not to know, the kid shamelessly continued speaking.
Actually, I've been waiting for you for a while now.
Lies. Beomgyu was clearly waiting first, yet he is brazenly lying. If he says one more word, should I beat that bastard up? Just then, a single remark from Yeoju completely relieved my anger.
"Ah... sorry... I have to walk home with Beomgyu today..."
The boy left with an awkward smile. But Beomgyu didn't care what kind of smile he was wearing.
As Beomgyu walked home from school with Yeoju, many kids stared at the two of them. After all, who wouldn't stare at a mere bully walking home with an innocent girl? The kids even reached the point of worrying about Yeoju. "Since when have I become such a monster?" Beomgyu felt depressed for a moment. Although he had certainly never hit anyone or drunk or smoked, strange rumors frequently circulated about him. Whenever that happened, Beomgyu didn't pay much attention, but now he deeply regretted it. "If only I had stopped those rumors back then... If only I had shouted that they weren't true..." Just then, Yeoju's voice pulled Beomgyu out of his regret.
What are you thinking?
I barely managed to hold back the words "Your thoughts."
"Ah... it's nothing. I just... I think I messed up my school assignment."
Yeoju was a little flustered when Beomgyu, who always just slept during class, brought up the topic of performance evaluations.
"O-oh... really...?"
" huh. "
Beomgyu answered briefly and walked again. He deliberately walked with his eyes fixed on the ground, afraid of being noticed for his reddened ears.
" if .. "
" huh ? "
If it's because of your studies, should I help you out a bit...?
“O-uh?
“Ah, um... I wasn't trying to brag... I-I just wanted to help you... Sorry if that was a burden...”
Beomgyu's mind was now completely filled with delusions.
"Really? Then I'd be grateful."
Beomgyu answered, wearing the brightest expression he had ever made in his life. Although no words were exchanged between the two after his answer, Beomgyu said he thought he was going crazy because their hands brushed against each other every now and then while walking. As they kept walking, they found themselves in front of Beomgyu's house before they knew it. Beomgyu had intended to walk Yeoju home, but their footsteps had led them to his own house. He said he was actually a little—no, very upset.
This is your house, right?
"How did she even know where my house is...?" Beomgyu was a little flustered, but he couldn't show it to Yeoju, who was speaking so proudly.
“Y-Uh... that’s true, but how did you know...?”
The female lead chuckled and said.
The other day, I was giving a treat to a cat at the playground in front of here, and you went in here! Haha.
"Wow. So that means she saw me..." Beomgyu's ears grew redder and redder. Yeoju's smile was enough to drive Beomgyu crazy.
" still .I'll take you home too.
Yeoju walked away without saying a word, just saying she understood. Ah, I want to pat her head. Beomgyu flinched in surprise again. Why would I like her...!! No, it can't be...
" arrived - "
I arrived at Yeoju's house and said hello. Just as Yeoju was about to turn around,
“J-Just a moment.. !”
" huh ? "
Beomgyu was at a loss for what to do, even though he was the one who had called him. O-uh... well, that is...
“Please… teach me this Saturday.”
Yeoju was flustered as if she hadn't expected Beomgyu's words at all, but then she burst out laughing.
“W-why are you laughing…?”
It was cute that you said it so dramatically lol
“Cute .. what ..?”
Yeoju is the type of person who usually expresses affection to her friends by saying things like "cute" or "pretty," so she naturally told Beomgyu that he was cute as well. However, Beomgyu, unaware of this, was flustered and his face turned as red as a tomato at her words.
“Well… anyway, see you tomorrow!!”
“ … ”
Beomgyu was so stunned that he couldn't say a word and just waved his hand. Even after coming home, his mind was completely filled with Yeoju, to the point that his parents were worried.
“Beomgyu, is something wrong?”
“ … ”
“Beomgyu??
“?? Huh?? Nothing happened??
You've been sitting there blankly for a while. You have to tell me right away if anything happens, okay?
” .. Uh uh .. “
"How am I supposed to tell my parents about this?" Beomgyu sighed to himself, picked at his food, and went into his room. He checked his phone and saw that Yeoju had messaged him.
< Yoon Yeo-ju
It went in safely, right?
I noticed your expression wasn't good earlier
Uh uh ..
You got home safely too, right?
Yeah yeah! Thanks for giving me a ride!
huh .!
———
Then, in a fit of anger, Beomgyu made a decision that was perhaps very dangerous.
< Yoon Yeo-ju
But Yeoju
huh ?
I think I like you.
———
Yeoju remained silent for a while. Although Beomgyu had acted on the premise that it was a "joking confession," honestly, he didn't dislike Yeoju either, so he had no choice but to wait for a reply.

Haha, did I end it too ambiguously? .. lol
This episode seems to have a decent amount of content, though.
I think that's a relief, at least!!
But the quality... lol
Anyway, I wrote this faster than I expected.
I think the serialization schedule will speed up a bit -!!
Thank you so much to everyone who waited 🤍
