Exists, but does not exist
Episode 2
강여주
This is the jewel store...
I went to Baram High School, which is a bit far from the jewelry store, so this was my first time coming to the jewelry store.
???
Yeo-eun! What are you doing standing there?
강여주
uh..?
Someone called out to me from behind, so I turned around.
전원우
Why are you just sitting there?
강여주
ah..
Oh, this is the guy that Yeo-eun DMed me with last week.
전원우
Oh, I heard you changed your name to Yeoju.
전원우
Hello, Yeoju
강여주
Ah.. hello..
It's broken.
Even though I spent a week analyzing Yeo-eun's personality, I still couldn't figure out how to act.
전원우
Let's go in quickly
강여주
Ah.. yeah
I followed Wonwoo and walked briskly.
It was daunting for me, a 20-year-old, to have to deal with an 18-year-old.
선생님
Okay, everyone, pay attention.
선생님
The second semester midterms are just around the corner, so study hard.
선생님
It is said that Yeo-eun changed her name to Yeo-ju.
선생님
Everyone, please sing it well without getting confused!
I never imagined you would talk about this publicly during the inquiry.
The students' eyes were all on me, and I tried to hide my reddened ears with my hair.
선생님
That's all for today's class. Get ready for first period.
I gave an awkward smile.
I was determined to avoid being noticed by my friends as much as possible.
???
What? When did you change your name?
강여주
..it hasn't been that long..
It was driving me crazy not knowing any of my friends' names.
I just tried to stay quiet, but even though I was still, my friends came running towards me.
It's only been 20 minutes since I got to school, but I'm already tired.
???
So from now on it will be Yeoju and not Yeo-eun?
강여주
yes..
강여주
...But what was your name..?
???
Huh..? Did you go on a trip and come back with a head injury..?
강여주
Ah... I... I banged my head on the corner of the desk...
What kind of ridiculous excuse is this?
고하율
It's me, Ha-Yul, Go Ha-Yul!
강여주
Ahh..! Right.. Sorry..
고하율
How hard did you have to hit it to make it like that...
???
Then I, remember my name?
강여주
...
???
You really don't remember?
It felt like the world was spinning.
Since it's come to this, should I push forward with the concept of someone who has lost their memory?
정다은
Oh my, seriously... it's Jeong Da-eun!!
강여주
Haha.. Right, I was just kidding...!
고하율
Hey- what kind of joke are you playing~
강여주
Sorry.. haha
정다은
I think this is the first time I've seen Yeo-eun look so dead.
고하율
You idiot, it's not Yeo-eun, it's Yeo-ju..!
Ha-Yul whispered.
정다은
Ah..! Sorry, heroine..
강여주
Oh.. no, it's okay
고하율
But now that I think about it, it seems a bit quiet today
Cold sweat was running down my face.
I wonder if my identity has been revealed-
정다은
Where does it hurt..?
강여주
Uh..? I'm not feeling well today..
For now, I guess I'll just pretend to be sick.
전원우
If you're sick, do you want to go to the infirmary?
강여주
Ah.. not that much..!
전원우
Really? Then that's good...
고하율
What's up Jeon Won-woo? Are you worried about our female protagonist?
정다은
Ah~ what is it~
정다은
Well, I've noticed something strange since last week~
전원우
What does that mean.. haha
고하율
What does our heroine think of Jeon Won-woo?
강여주
uh..?
Yeo-eun never told me that things were going well with her boyfriend.
Was it originally entangled like this..?
Did he just hide his love life from me..?
정다은
Hey, Yeo-eun doesn't like Won-woo!
전원우
Because I'm the female lead
정다은
Ah.. sorry it's become a habit..
강여주
...
I just smiled.
It bothered me that I had to keep doing this until I graduated.
-Drrrrr
???
Kang Yeo-eun!!!
