Yeoju didn't come to school today.

최연준

Hey Choi Soo-bin. Did Kim Yeo-ju come to school today?

최수빈

Kim Yeo-ju?? Huh...? She's not here? What's going on?

최연준

Ah... no... let me know when you get to Yeoju School

The Fed couldn't focus today either. He couldn't concentrate. His head felt blank, he couldn't hear anything, and he couldn't do anything.

Whenever there was a break, Yeonjun would hang around in front of Yeoju's class and wait for her to come.

Today, Yeoju didn't show up to school at all. Today, too, Yeonjun couldn't sleep properly.

The road to school was adorned with cherry blossoms, which were annoyingly beautiful. Unaware of Yeonjun's burning heart, he headed to class with heavy steps, hoping to see them at school today.

최연준

Hey.. today..? Is Kim Yeo-ju here today?

최수빈

No... why does that damn Kim Yeo-ju keep coming to me?

최연준

Aren't you coming today too...ha..

Yeoju didn't show up at school today. Yeonjun, still lost in thought, trudged home.

A week passed since the female protagonist did not come to school.

Yeoju was determined to go to school today, so she completely armed herself with a mask, patches, and other items to cover up her wounds.

Still, a part of me felt uneasy, so I hoped that no one would recognize me. I put on a new bag, pulled my hat down low, and headed to school.

She carefully threw off her bag and headed to the library. Thinking it wouldn't be crowded, Yeoju spent both morning assembly and break time at the library.

Yeoju saw Choi Yeonjun on her way to class after the bell rang. She tried to pass him by without noticing him, but instead walked quickly.

Perhaps because it was so obviously suspicious, Yeonjun recognized Yeoju. He grabbed Yeoju's wrist without hurting her.

최연준

Are you...okay...?

Yeonjun was looking at Yeoju with worried eyes. But unlike Yeonjun, Yeoju had a cold expression.

김여주

Oh, I'm fine, don't worry about it

He answered harshly and went to the classroom.
