After getting through the first to fourth periods without a hitch, today during lunch time I stood in line next to Youngseo and did the self-service meal as usual.

"Youngseo, is that hamster food?"


이영서
"What? Puhahaha- Hey! You're so funny! You're saying human food is hamster food~"

We clearly served rice on the same plate, but Yeongseo's plate had too much empty space.

I didn't ask any more questions about Yeongseo's strange behavior, whether she found my genuine concern amusing or whether she was pretending not to know.

I didn't see any fat that needed to be lost, and I was worried that I was being too obsessive, but I was careful because it could be a nuisance.

I swallow down the words I want to say along with a spoonful of rice...

widely-

Tadak-

widely!

The surroundings became complicated in an instant with loud noises.

Plates containing various foods clattered loudly as they came up to the table where I was eating.

As I chew and swallow the food in my mouth, I look up with surprised eyes and see the owners of the plates.

"high!"

It's Jaehyun...

I greeted him by slightly waving my right hand, as he looked happy to see me the day before.

The voice I hear when I'm greeting Jaehyun like that.

"Oh, it's really pretty?"

A woman with a low face.

When I was so flustered by the sudden compliment that I couldn't react, I heard Yeongseo's voice.


이영서
"This is my friend Seoyoon. I couldn't come during lunch yesterday because I was a class officer, so I couldn't introduce you to her."


오여주
"Ah~"

As if responding to Youngseo's explanation, I greeted my friend Seoyoon as brightly as possible.


오여주
"Nice to meet you! As expected of Yeongseo's friend, you're also incredibly pretty."


문서윤
"Thank you, isn't it Oh Yeo-ju?"


오여주
"huh!"


문서윤
"Let's see often"

Seoyoon finishes her speech with a chic smile and picks up her spoon.

When I say hello to my friend Seo-yoon and look around, I see...


이영서
"Hey, Choi Yeonjun."

"..."

Yesterday at the PC room, and this morning, the man who saved me(?) with the bicycle handlebars was sitting there.

He didn't respond to Yeongseo's calls, and just ate his food, perhaps because he had an argument with her yesterday.

In that situation, I felt like I was going to get hurt, so I averted my gaze and started to focus only on the food.

at that time


이영서
"You should say hello to the heroine too. You didn't even say hello properly yesterday."

At Youngseo's words, I almost spit out everything that was in my mouth.

I'm already awkward because of the morning routine, and now I have to say hello...

Even though I was told to do it without knowing, it was an extremely difficult mission for me, who hates awkward things.

Still, I felt like I should say hello to the atmosphere, so I busily chewed the food in my mouth...



최연준
"I met you this morning"


Cool-

Kkeuk kkeuk- I was completely caught in the sudden hook and was coughing continuously, unable to come to my senses.

Then a glass of water was offered to me...



명재현
"are you okay?"


오여주
"Yeah, thank you..."

Thanks to Jaehyun, I calmed down my surprised heart and was thinking about what I should say to clear up any unnecessary misunderstandings that might arise.

at that time

"It's the house next door to ours."


문서윤
"really?"


명재현
"really?"



오여주
"really?"

This was something I didn't even know.

What the hell was I supposed to do to clear up the misunderstanding... I even started to notice Yeongseo's reaction. Yeongseo was upset, but I could tell she was holding back.

Noticing that, I tried to smile and end the situation.


오여주
"Haha... I didn't know, I just happened to run into you this morning and you're next door~"



이영서
"How strange~ Right next to me at the PC room... And the house I just moved into is next door? This is really strange..."

Couldn't finish it.

The atmosphere became even more tense as Yeongseo spoke through clenched teeth.


'Ah... I'm going to do it.'

The atmosphere was so awkward that I couldn't eat any more, so I ended up having to get up and pick up my plate.


오여주
"excuse me..."


오여주
"We happen to live next door, and we happen to be sitting next to each other at the PC room, but we definitely don't know each other."


오여주
"I hope there won't be any misunderstandings or fights because of me. Everyone, go eat. I'm full..."

I said it with a smile, but honestly, I felt a little bad.

I didn't want to get involved in that situation because I felt uncomfortable with Yeongseo reacting so sensitively to the thoughtless words of a man named Choi Yeonjun.

After throwing away all the precious leftovers, I headed straight to the store.



오여주
"Why are you fighting and making a fuss during a noble meal?"

I felt bad for messing with my favorite mealtime...

But as soon as I entered the store, I started to feel a little more at ease.


Because eating is always a good thing.


오여주
"Chocolate milk and... chocolate bread!"

There was no other paradise like this, with my hands full of my favorite snacks.

So I went up to the counter, put the bread and milk on the counter, and tried to take money out of my pocket...

매점직원
"It's three thousand five hundred won~"


오여주
"wait a minute..."

The money seemed to know my financial situation, so it was hiding deep inside my pockets and wouldn't come out...

While I was hesitating for a moment, I started to notice the friends in line behind me.

at that time

"Please calculate this as well."

Another chocolate milk and a 5,000 won bill came next to my bread and milk.

I looked up at the person who handed me the money in surprise.

"I said I was full..."

"You went first because you were uncomfortable, right?"
