Cold personality, top student in the entire school
24. A friend who keeps talking


Sanghyuk carefully wiped Yeoju's tears with his thumb.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I really have to tell you everything.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
A, why did you suddenly transfer schools...


์ด์ํ
That's,


์ด์ํ
I lost first place to someone... I couldn't help it.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
?

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
It's me...


์ด์ํ
Actually, my family is very strict.


์ด์ํ
So if you miss out on first place,


์ด์ํ
...This is how it happens.

Yeo-ju heard Sang-hyeok's words and hit him hard, as if she was disgusted.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
If that's the case, then don't tell me...!

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
You only thought about yourself.


์ด์ํ
Then what about you?


์ด์ํ
If that were the case, you would have continued to come in second place.


์ด์ํ
Was it okay?


์ด์ํ
I tried hard to win. How can I say that?


์ด์ํ
And we weren't like this back then.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Then don't miss out on first place here.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
I won't miss it either.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Let's promise to each other that we'll be number one. What do you think?


์ด์ํ
Yeah, I promise.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...Have you adjusted to school?

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Are you still cold to everyone like you used to be?


์ด์ํ
...of course.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Why are you doing that? You're so sweet to me.


์ด์ํ
Because I wanted to do that.


์ด์ํ
That's how I grew up originally.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Then you probably don't have any close friends.


์ด์ํ
...


์ด์ํ
(Laughs) I do have friends who keep talking to me like you.


์ด์ํ
Strangely enough, that guy is also number one?

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...Are you a girl?


์ด์ํ
Hey man.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Oh, that's a relief.


์ด์ํ
(Laughs) I see you there.


๋ช ์ฌํ
Huh?


๋ช ์ฌํ
I see Lee Sang-hyeok with a woman.


๋ช ์ฌํ
Hello? Your uniforms are different. Which school are you from?


์ด์ํ
A friend from the school before I transferred.


๋ช ์ฌํ
Ah~


๋ช ์ฌํ
Could it be your girlfriend?

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
uh?


๋ช ์ฌํ
Seeing how you came all this way,


๋ช ์ฌํ
You left work early? Are you not interested in your studies?


์ด์ํ
Watch your words. You're top student in the whole school.


๋ช ์ฌํ
(Surprised) I'm sorry. I apologize for what I just said.


๋ช ์ฌํ
I am Myung Jae-hyun.

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
...It's okay. I'm Kim Yeo-ju.


์ด์ํ
(looking at the female lead) But how did you get here?


์ด์ํ
You didn't really leave work early, did you?

๊น์ฌ์ฃผ
Today is the last day of the exam, so I came right after it was over.


์ด์ํ
Ah, so that's why you were able to come.


์ด์ํ
I'll go next time. It's cold outside, so thank you for coming.


๋ช ์ฌํ
So Sanghyuk, are you a girlfriend or not?


๋ช ์ฌํ
If you're my girlfriend, isn't that too long? You don't even have a cell phone.


์ด์ํ
hmm...


์ด์ํ
This is the girl I have a crush on.
