Bad Boy

10 Hi?

Jungkook was very confused after hearing Seulgi's story.

전정국

I need to know what's really on his mind...

That was the case.

Jeongguk was concerned about Uigeon, whose true feelings were completely unknowable.

배주현

"Jungkook, hello?"

전정국

Oh, hi.

전정국

You look much brighter in just one day.

전정국

What I heard from Seulgi... I guess it's better not to say anything, right?

As Jungkook wore a mysterious expression, Juhyun asked.

배주현

Is something wrong with you?

전정국

"Huh? No? Not at all? Why? Something? Does it look strange?

배주현

What are you talking about?

전정국

Ah...it's nothing.

배주현

"Hmm, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?"

전정국

"No, I don't have it?"

It looked impressive to anyone who saw it.

Enough for even the clueless Juhyeon to notice.

It was then.

Thump!

Someone hit Juhyeon on the shoulder.

배주현

"Ah, Seulgi is here..."

Juhyeon froze in place.

And understandably so,

강의건

"high?"

...because it was a lecture.

배주현

"...Why are you here?"

강의건

"Since I'm taking this class too."

배주현

Bullshit. I didn't hear the professor calling you.

강의건

"Auditing. And I've already told the professor. I've probably told him over a hundred times, so he must be sick of hearing it."

배주현

Then why are you only hearing this now? It's November. It's almost over.

강의건

It’s my choice. Also, it’s hard to decide when to return to school.

Then, he plopped down in the seat next to Juhyeon.

강의건

"Can I sit here? It looks like the seat isn't here."

배주현

It's Seulgi's seat.

강의건

"That's not true. Being the first one to arrive is the best."

배주현

"Seriously, hmph... Do you have a conscience? Why are you sitting right next to me so naturally?"

강의건

Hmph, it's my choice.

Jungkook, unable to bear listening any longer, intervened.

전정국

Stop it. I told you you were a nuisance.

강의건

"What's so inconsiderate about that? Me choosing my seat? And you've been doing this since last time; are you Juhyeon's boyfriend or something?"

전정국

Boyfriend..

배주현

Stop it. Jungkook is just a friend.

전정국

"..Y-yes."

It was then.

강슬기

"Juhyun! I'm here..."

강의건

Here comes the owner of the seat. Long time no see for you, too?

강슬기

"Wow, seriously, what nerve did I have to come here?"

강의건

You know very well that I have guts, right?

강슬기

Is this the time for wordplay?

Eui-geon laughed it off, pointed at Jeong-guk, and said.

강의건

"Oh, and also, you got Juhyeon and me together just fine, so why won't you get these two together?"

Jungkook flinched.

Seulgi handled the situation flexibly.

강슬기

You're really spouting all sorts of nonsense to get out of this.

Eui-geon scoffed.

강의건

"Ah, well. Let's just leave it at that. We're going to be seeing each other for a while, so let's try to keep things on good terms, okay?"

강슬기

"Go fuck yourself, you fucking bastard."

강의건

"Is that a buzzword? Everyone's using it now?"

강슬기

"Damn bastard. Still spouting nonsense. Why did you come back? You should have just stayed in America."

강의건

"Well... why did I come back? Because I missed you?"

강슬기

"what?"

강의건

"You never know. It might be because I miss you."

배주현

"...what?"

강의건

Didn't you hear? I said it might be because I miss you.

Juhyeon froze in place.
