Is it because of the caffeine? Have you turned into a wreck?

My eyes were drawn more to Youngseo next to Choi Yeonjun, who was singing.

Watching Youngseo gaze at Choi Yeonjun with eyes that looked like she was about to pounce into his arms at any moment, I felt like I could understand a little bit why she was acting that way.

Tall, with a small face and fair skin, a face that anyone would call handsome, and on top of that, outstanding talent...

As I thought about it, my eyes went to Jaehyun once again.

Jaehyun is handsome and sings well, too, but is it because I've watched him since he was young that I'm not impressed anymore?

He was staring blankly at Jaehyun like that.

At that moment

Perhaps because I had been staring so intently, or perhaps because he sensed my gaze, Jaehyun turned his head, and our eyes met exactly.

I wanted to naturally look away, but it was already too late, so I tried to force an awkward smile...

At that moment, Jaehyun was gaping his mouth so that only I could see it.

When I frowned because I didn't understand, Jaehyun gaped loudly once more and said something incomprehensible.

However, because it was so dark, I couldn't tell at all what they wanted to say.

At that moment

Jaehyun approached my side in a single long stride.

Whenever I tilted my head back in surprise at how quickly we had become so close, Jaehyun came even closer and whispered in my ear.

명재현

You're not going to miss the last train because of us, right?

It was the sound of someone worrying about me.

Realizing my mistake in that moment, I immediately checked the time on my phone, and before I knew it, I made a request—or rather, a not-quite-a-request—to Jaehyun, who was sitting naturally next to me.

"I just want to quietly leave while the kids are singing. Please speak nicely to them after I get out!"

Myung Jae-hyun smiles and nods at my words.

It's too close...

Hot-

In that moment, it felt as if the muggy air was enveloping my entire body.

I felt like I was going to be entranced by an unknown current again.

This won't work

I immediately slung my bag over my shoulder, grabbed my phone, and stood up.

Soon after, Jaehyun looked at me with a flustered expression.

I walked past Jaehyun and secretly slipped out behind the kids who were distracted by Choi Yeonjun's singing.

Having hurriedly left the karaoke room, I fanned myself with my bare hands to combat the rising heat and started walking briskly toward the bus stop.

오여주

It's weird... totally weird.

Choi Yeon-jun's point of view

이영서

"They sing really well, no matter when I hear it~"

Yeongseo came over to my side clapping as soon as the song ended.

Only then did I see my surroundings, so I turned my head a little further to look around inside the karaoke room.

명재현

Yeoju went home. I told her to go because I was worried she might miss the last train.

Jaehyun, who immediately said that Oh Yeo-ju had gone home, as if he had realized who I was looking for.

I nodded at Jaehyun's words and handed the microphone to Youngseo, the owner of the next song.

이영서

You should have at least said goodbye... I wanted to hear the female lead sing.

명재현

"I can just come again next time"

문서윤

"I rap?"

이영서

Okay~

Youngseo seemed a little disappointed for a moment, then immediately started singing with Seoyun.

As soon as the song started, I slowly stood up from my seat.

명재현

"What? Where are you going?"

최연준

"house"

With those words, he opened the door and stepped out.

At that moment.

이영서

"Hey, Choi Yeonjun!"

Yeongseo, who had followed me out quickly, called out to stop me.

이영서

"You're not... going to Oh Yeo-ju... are you?"

Lee Young-seo, who is always consumed by anxiety.

Seeing Yeongseo poking her right hand with her left hand in a state of panic, I had to take a step back again today.

최연준

It's not like that

With those words, I turned my back and walked out of the karaoke hallway.

I came out and walked toward the bus stop at a slightly faster pace.

최연준

Did I come out too late...?

Muttering to myself, I walked out onto the main road and turned my head toward the bus stop.

Then, the appearance of Oh Yeo-ju comes into view.

Seeing Yeoju sitting at the bus stop like a dazed person, staring blankly into the air, I was reminded of the day we first met.

Even though it was reflected on a black screen, my gaze was instantly drawn to that white and pretty face.

I felt like I knew it the moment I saw it.

I immediately thought that the transfer student Jaehyun mentioned might be this girl.

I knew that someone had moved into the house next door that day, so I was just starting to have reasonable suspicions given the circumstances when Yeongseo appeared, making it even more certain.
