Myung Jae-hyun's point of view

"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.

"I always starve myself while dieting."

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„ image

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„

"What? Are you worried about Yeongseo too?"

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€ image

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€

"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.

"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!

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„ image

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„

"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?"

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€ image

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€

"Transfer student?"

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„ image

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„

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

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

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€ image

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€

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

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„ image

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„

"Something like that?"

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€ image

์ตœ์—ฐ์ค€

"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.

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„ image

๋ช…์žฌํ˜„

"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

"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.

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

"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!"

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค image

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค

"Oh... Is this fun?"

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

"what?"

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค image

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค

"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...

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

"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.

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

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

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค image

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค

"Is he talking?"

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

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

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค image

๋ฌธ์„œ์œค

"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

...

"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...

"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.

์ด์˜์„œ image

์ด์˜์„œ

"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.

"I'm back~"

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ ์—„๋งˆ

"Oh, my daughter is here?"

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Mom! Me today!"

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ ์—„๋งˆ

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

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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...

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ

"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.

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์˜ค์—ฌ์ฃผ

"Now leave it all to me!!"
