“Harang, did you really see this?”
During the first period break, the kids in the class were already taking screenshots of the morning news articles.
[★Exclusive★ An Shin, Temporarily Suspending Entertainment Activities for Academic Purposes?]
[★[The Mysterious Top Star's Unconventional Transfer!]
[★[Anshin’s transfer to OO local school?]
Harang muttered while lying face down on the desk.
“You saw... a carrot... I looked for a carrot when Anshin sat down next to me... What kind of situation is this...”
At that moment—
“Could I... borrow your pencil case?”
'omg'
Harang pushed the pencil case in almost instinctively.
“Hahaha.. Use this... P... I also have a premium pen that I treasure...”
Anshin didn't even smile, just blinked and spoke.
“.... Um, you say a lot of weird things, so feel free to be comfortable with me.”
“That... that’s the default setting... haha”
"... I see, you speak informally too. It's because I'm uncomfortable."
"... Th... Really? Okay, okay, I'll try to speak informally... I'll try...!!"
Anshin nodded quietly and took the pencil case.
Harang buried her face in the desk as if she was banging her head against it.
'Wow, I feel so stupid... I don't know what to do.'
And lunch time,
Harang was surprised in line for the lunch because Anshin left without taking her food.
"Huh... You're not eating...? Are you on a diet...? Or is it just your constitution that doesn't allow you to eat...? Is that the only way to maintain a body like Anshin's?"
Harang continued to wonder inwardly, and then made a foolish decision.
“Teacher! Where is Anshin going?”
“Oh, Anshin said she was going to stop by the infirmary. Why?”
“…No, just… haha!”
At those words, Harang quickly put down the tray and secretly, very secretly, went to the hallway in front of the infirmary.
And I put my ear to the sound I could hear faintly through the crack in the door.
“...These days, the effects of the medicine seem to wear off faster than before.”
“But don’t overdo it, check your condition often… Now you can take a break and go about your daily life.”
Jo Ha-rang's eyes widened.
'Medicine...? Effects...? Where does it hurt...?'
At that moment, Anshin opened the door and came out.
And then Harang's eyes met mine.
"...!!! N..what are you doing here?"
“!!! Uh, um, ah... no... just... a walk...?”
“Should I take a walk in the hallway of the health center?”
“That’s my style…haha!! Do you happen to like this kind of… medical atmosphere in the infirmary…?”
What are you saying, Kim Ha-rang?
"....;; no..."
Anshin glanced at Harang for a moment, sighed, and walked down the hallway.
Harang thought as he looked at her back.
'I didn't get caught stealing... right?!'
As expected, Kim Ha-rang was a dull bear.
"Anshin... something feels off. I don't think she just came to school quietly... hmm."
That evening,
Harang, who had returned home, took out his guitar for the first time in a long time.
"Am I... too concerned about him? He's just a classmate, like the teacher said... Oh, I don't know!! I should play the guitar first... My audition is more urgent right now...
Oh right!! My audition!!!"
