Anyway, I'm not the one who went
If you're grateful, don't get sick.
At school
Right after lunch, Yeoju quietly left the classroom.
After breaking up with Jaehyun, it seemed like my friends' gazes on me had changed little by little.
Yoonji, who was once close to me, only gave me an awkward smile and didn't approach me as often as before.
As I walked down the hallway, I heard a few students whispering next to me.
고2 학생 1
“I heard that Jaehyun is hanging out with another woman.”
고2 학생 2
“The female lead is a bit shy and doesn’t express herself… I heard that Jaehyun likes to express himself.”
고2 학생 3
“Even if I had a senior-like personality, I wasn’t that good with Yeo-ju… Does Yeo-ju Choi have any charm as a woman other than her face?”
김동현
“……Isn’t the face the most important thing?🐠”

It's personality..!!
The female protagonist's heart froze at the various words directed at her.
Close and open your eyes several times.
I had no choice but to lower my head and quicken my pace.
Yeoju has been feeling even more pressured by the upcoming final exams.
Yeoju was a child with good grades... If I had to explain, she was first in her class in her first year of high school, and now that she's in her second year of high school, her grades aren't that great, but she's probably second or third in her class.
But recently, even though Yeoju opened her book late at night, her mind was blank.
Even after returning home, I couldn't sleep well because memories of Jaehyun kept coming to mind.
That day too, I was heading home after finishing studying at the library.
I held the straps of my backpack tightly, but my hands were shaking slightly.
The female protagonist, who was walking down the street, suddenly felt her head become heavy and her vision blurred.
My heart was beating fast and it was hard to breathe.
I tried to lean against the wall, but my legs gave out and I stumbled.

“Ah… crazy… why are you like this…”
My lips were parched, and cold sweat ran down my palms.
My vision was dizzy and surrounding sounds felt distant.
Yeoju contacts Dongmin.
최여주
“Dongmin… I’m at the intersection in front of the school… Ha… I can’t breathe…”
한동민
“I’ll go.”
Dongmin spoke without even breathing.
A few minutes later
한동민
“Hey lady! Where are you?”
At that moment, Dongmin's voice was heard nearby.
Dongmin came over quickly and helped her up.
한동민
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Your face has turned pale."
The heroine barely nodded.
최여주
“I can’t… breathe… my head hurts…”
Dongmin said as he carefully sat Yeoju down.
한동민
"I think this is hyperventilation. Take a deep breath, slow down, and I'll help you."
The heroine held Dongmin's hand and barely managed to catch her breath.
But my emotions burst out and tears flowed.
한동민
“You… were so hard…”
Dongmin is usually blunt, but this time he spoke with sincerity.
한동민
“Talk to me. Don’t endure it alone.”
The heroine answered in a trembling voice.
최여주
“I’m afraid it’ll be more difficult if I talk about it…”
Dongmin held Yeoju's hand tightly.
한동민
“I will always be by your side… You are not alone.”
The heroine raised her head and looked at Dongmin.
A small but firm hope sprouted in those eyes.
At the hospital
최여주
(Scared voice) “I’ve never felt so sick before…”
(Patting him lightly) "I'm glad you figured it out quickly. From now on, listen to me. If you break down, I'll be devastated."
최여주
(with reddened eyes) “Thank you, Han Dong-min... 🥹I’m so glad you’re here.”
Dongmin is embarrassed...
한동민
“If you’re grateful, don’t get sick…”
