Myung Jae-hyun's point of view

...


명재현
"Hey, let's go to lunch together tomorrow. Yeongseo is worried you're skipping lunch."


Sigh-

Yeonjun, who had been laughing as if he was dumbfounded, stretched out his long legs and looked at me.


최연준
"I always starve myself while dieting."


명재현
"What? Are you worried about Yeongseo too?"


최연준
"No, just do your own thing."

Sigh-

I burst out laughing at Yeonjun's words.

Because I don't think Yeongseo is in a position to worry about Yeonjun starving.


최연준
"Are you going to the bloodbath after today?"

I was pondering Yeonjun's question for a moment, then a thought suddenly occurred to me and I clapped my hands together.

match!



명재현
"Hey, there's a transfer student in Yeongseo's class, so we just had lunch together and are on our way back. Should I ask him to come to the secret room too?"



최연준
"Transfer student?"


명재현
"Oh, she's pretty. But she has personality. I like her."

Choi Yeonjun frowned at my words and looked at me with strange eyes.


최연준
"Do you have a passive for that kind of thing?"


명재현
"Something like that?"


최연준
"Pretty and hot-tempered? Isn't that Lee Young-seo?"

Puss- I was embarrassed by Yeonjun's words, so I laughed with a funny expression and continued speaking.


명재현
"I hate that kind of thing. That's not what I meant..."

I explained the situation to Yeonjun exactly as I saw it in the cafeteria today.

After listening to my story, Choi Yeonjun turned his head toward the window and opened his mouth.

"Lee Young-seo must be gritting her teeth right now..."

Lee Young-seo's point of view

...


이영서
"Document Yoon~"

After lunch, I stopped by my best friend Seoyoon's class.

I wanted to talk about Yeoju together.

A really pretty friend came and I wanted to tell her that I really liked her.


이영서
"Ah~ That's so funny~ Jaehyun suddenly became serious because he thought it was my shuttle? He surprisingly has a righteous side and I think it's fun!"


문서윤
"Oh... Is this fun?"


이영서
"what?"


문서윤
"Aren't you angry?"

Seoyoon's words left me speechless for a moment. It wasn't so much that it hit the nail on the head as...


이영서
"Not at all~ That's possible!"

Seoyoon seemed to have taken it a bit too sensitively.

'I'm just saying it's fun?'

I bit my lower lip for a moment, overcome with emotion, but then smiled at Seoyoon, who was just looking at her phone, and continued speaking.


이영서
"Seo-yoon! I'm going to ask Yeo-ju to hang out today. Let's hang out together!"


문서윤
"Is he talking?"



이영서
"I haven't said anything yet, but I'm going to have fun! I'm going to have fun."


문서윤
"Okay, let's play."

After hearing Seoyoon's answer, I didn't say anything in return and immediately turned my head and left the classroom.

I thought it would be nice to hang out with Yeoju because she was pretty, so I spoke to her, but something that happened in the cafeteria a little while ago was bothering me.

It was uncomfortable, but I endured it because it was only the first day and I thought I might not know.

But sometimes, when Seoyoon, who I've known since middle school, acts sensitive, I get annoyed and it just blows up.

I think about it when I feel ignored even though I was born into a wealthy family and got along well with others.

'That's why I'm your only friend...'

Oh Yeo-ju's point of view

...


이영서
"Hey, heroine! The kids want to play after we finish today. Let's play together!"

Before the last class, Yeongseo looked at me with the eyes of a cat in boots, saying that she wanted to play after class.

I really want to play, but...



오여주
"Sorry, I haven't finished unpacking yet, so I guess I'll have to go and help Mom today..."

I frowned and pouted my lips to show that I was as disappointed as possible.


이영서
"Yeah... I guess there's nothing I can do."

Then, Yeongseo says that it is regrettable but there is nothing she can do and returns to her original place.

She is such a pretty friend who is so kind that it breaks my heart to refuse her requests.

I promised myself that I would definitely not refuse the next time he asked me to hang out.

As soon as class ended, I exchanged numbers with Youngseo and ran out of school to head home.

On the way home, I checked the messenger profile by saving the number we exchanged.


Then, you see the pretty profile picture of Yeongseo.

The more I looked at her, the more I thought she was a really pretty and lovely friend, and I was so excited to go home and show her off to my mom.

I ran home like that and shouted as soon as I saw my mom.


오여주
"I'm back~"

오여주 엄마
"Oh, my daughter is here?"


오여주
"Mom! Me today!"

오여주 엄마
"Can you come here and hold this for me?"


오여주
"Oh, be careful, Mom!!"

I rushed to my mother, who was precariously hammering nails into a chair, and grabbed the chair.

I completely forgot what I was going to say and just stared at my mother's crow's feet with a worried look on my face.

Then, memories of my father come to mind again.

Whenever I asked my mom to hang a picture frame, she would run like Superman and hang it up without anyone noticing...


오여주
"Be careful, Mom..."

Seeing my mother shaking her legs, my heart ached again.

As soon as I finished hammering all the nails and my mother came down, I patted my chest with my right hand and said.



오여주
"Now leave it all to me!!"


자까
Yeonjun, you're finally out...


최연준
Let me come out more


자까
Waiting.
