When I got picked on by a group of thugs

06. I will take responsibility.

From the first day of transferring to school, I was picked on by a group of punks like a beggar.


















As Subin, Suyeon, and I were talking, we soon found ourselves in front of the classroom.








"Hey! Hueningning!! " ((Suyeon

'' ....? What, why are the three of you here together? " ((Huening






Huening looked at us with a shocked expression. I don't know why it was so shocking to see the three of us together.

"I met him while I was looking at rabbits" ((Subin






Soobin spoke calmly. "Just as it is." Huening briefly glanced back and forth between me and Sooyeon, then strode toward us with a determined expression.







"The heroine is my friend." ((Huening






When I was wondering what the heck this was, Huening grabbed my hand.






"Jump here!!!" ((Huening






Huening grabbed my hand and ran with me. The sudden turn of events, like a morning drama, just dragged me further and further away from the classroom, dragged by Huening's hand.


Jeong Hyeon-yeong... Let's go to class.

06 Yeoju Lee, I will take responsibility.











"Hey hey! Huening Kai!! " ((Yeoju






I gasped for breath and called out to Huening, and only then did he stop. He then looked around frantically, as if he were running away from something.






"What's wrong with you? What's wrong...?" ((Yeoju

"Hey lady!! Are you okay?? Did you get hacked?? Didn't you get it?" ((Hyunyoung






Huening grabbed my shoulder and looked around quickly.






"Aren't you friends with Subin?" ((Yeoju

"Is that right?" ((Huening

"Subin didn't do anything to me. If we were friends, we would know." ((Yeoju

"What?" ((Huening

"Ugh... Even if you do that, you won't hit your friend." ((Yeoju






Huening looked at me with an expression that said he didn't understand English.

"??? Subin isn't that bad" ((Huening

"Yeah, I only saw rabbits with Subin." ((Yeoju

"No, I wasn't talking about Soobin..." ((Huening






Then I wanted to ask if it was Suyeon, but I couldn't because I heard someone approaching us.






"You two!! Get to work!!! " ((Teacher

"Yes...?" ((Yeoju






As Huening and I slowly looked around, the teacher was walking towards us.






"You already have 10 penalty points?" ((Teacher






I glanced at Huening with an expression that said he didn't know what was going on, and he was looking at me with an extremely embarrassed expression.

I could have accumulated 10 penalty points. I wonder why I'm being so over-the-top. Just as I was thinking that, the teacher hit me on the head with the book he was holding.






"You, you. You don't have a name tag." ((Teacher






So that's why they told you to carry a name tag, Kang Tae-hyun...









"Ah, no, that's...!" ((Huening

"What... Hueningkai? Okay, Hueningkai. You're out. Come and write your name." ((Teacher

"Teacher, Yeoju transferred yesterday..." ((Hyunyoung

"Be quiet and go back to your class quickly!" ((Teacher






Huening looked at me and flinched, and I gestured for him to go away, saying it was okay.






"Sir, teacher!!!! " ((Yeonjun






Just then, Yeonjun came running, seemingly recognizing us from afar. The teacher, who had been glaring at me as if he were going to kill me, bowed and greeted Yeonjun.






"Oh, my goodness, Choi Yeonjun! What happened..." ((Teacher

"Yeoju transferred schools yesterday and doesn't have a name tag. It's not that the name tag was taken away, it's just missing. If you don't believe me, check if the name tags collected from the student council room have written on them." ((Yeonjun

"I don't think that's necessary..." ((Teacher






When the teacher glanced at me, Yeonjun hid me behind him. Yeonjun was taller than I'd expected, so the teacher, who had seemed intimidating, was nowhere to be seen.

Rather, I was crazy about the hand that Yeonjun was holding to hide me.

"Yeoju, I will take responsibility. If I lied and you really did receive 10 penalty points, I will take the punishment." ((Yeonjun






I wondered if it was really necessary to go that far, but I was still grateful. Truthfully, I was more distracted by an inexplicable sensation than by gratitude.






"Ahem... Okay. I'll believe you just by looking at our Yeonjun student's face. It'll be over soon, so hurry up and go back to class." ((Teacher

"Yes! Thank you!! " ((Yeonjun






After the teacher left, Yeonjun gave me his name tag and said.






"Where did you put Kang Tae-hyun's name tag?" ((Yeonjun

"Why am I carrying around that name tag... It looks weird." ((Yeoju

"Yeoju... I'm sorry... I ran away for no reason..." ((Hyuning






Huening lowered his head, his face trembling. I patted him, trying to ease his guilt a little. Honestly, Huening hadn't done anything wrong here.






"No. It's not your fault, so you don't have to apologize." ((Yeoju

"But why are you here?" ((Yeonjun

photo
"Because the female protagonist was bullied by Suyeon..." ((Huening

"Huh...??? " ((Yeoju

"What...? To Yoon Soo-yeon?? " ((Yeonjun

"It's not Yoon Soo-yeon, it's Yoo Soo-yeon, Yeonjun..." ((Huening






Yeonjun waved his hand, making a gesture to let his slip of the tongue slip by.






photo
"That's not important. Did Yoo Soo-yeon really harass you, Yeo-ju?" ((Yeonjun

"No? Suyeon is my friend." ((Yeoju

"Huh? But Taehyun..." ((Huening






Huening looked at the female protagonist with a puzzled expression.






"I told Soobin earlier, but Taehyun, Beomgyu, Sooyeon, and I were really close! " ((Yeoju
