Hello, Diamond Wall?

Episode 24: Cider? No, not yet.

*This is Jihoon's point of view!*

There's a senior who keeps bothering me these days.

He's been pestering me for a few days now, and today the female protagonist found out.

In fact, after seeing this, I felt like I could understand the heroine's feelings.

You must be disappointed. You must be dumbfounded. You must be angry.

But I couldn't comfort or console the heroine or be by her side.

I couldn't even make excuses.

Actually, this senior is the younger brother of an older brother I know, and that older brother asked me to meet him just once, so I had no choice but to meet him, and he has been hanging out with me ever since.

I can't ignore him because of that guy... It's really difficult...

How did things get so messed up...

I can't stay by that senior's side forever, but I can't leave him either...

If it weren't for that older brother and younger brother... I would have kicked out everyone, including my seniors.

Ha... Seriously, what should I do...

How is Yeoju now...?

I can't forget the heroine's appearance in the classroom earlier.

I know that the heroine was watching us even in the hallway.

I'm so sorry.

I just feel that way. For now.

I want to finish this as soon as possible and return to the heroine... Seriously, what should I do...

Have you been worrying about it all along?

Before I knew it, the last lecture of the day was over.

Yeoju hasn't been seen since that lecture today.

Neither Joohyun nor Niel were near him.

I was worried.

I wonder if it's because of me.

I was so sorry.

So, the moment I was about to leave the classroom with the intention of going to find Yeoju,

That senior caught me.

예림 선배

Jihoon!

박지훈

yes?

That hypocritical look...

I really hate it...

I really hate it...

There's nothing I can do now.

I really should just end it today...

예림 선배

Let's go together!

박지훈

...yes

So I walked towards senior Kim Ye-rim's house.

In one alley, the senior stopped me and continued talking.

예림 선배

Hey... Jihoon!

박지훈

yes?

예림 선배

Jihoon... I like you!

I really wanted to say, "I don't like it."

예림 선배

Ugh... I could really refuse... but my sister really likes Jihoon...

예림 선배

So I'm going to refuse... At least understand my feelings...

No, why should I know that?

박지훈

...

I will tell you.

For sure.

I'll be blunt and to the point.

박지훈

...I like you too, but I don't think it's a romantic feeling...

박지훈

I just want us to be close friends... As you know, I have a girlfriend...

예림 선배

...is he better than me?

박지훈

yes...

예림 선배

...Okay, I understand... Then I'll go first...

It seemed like he wasn't as bad of a person as I thought.

It didn't seem like the typical fox.

But! Still, I only have the female lead, so I don't have time to deal with a senior like that.

I guess I'll have to manage things a bit from now on so that seniors like that don't get tangled up...

by the way

I wonder what happened to Yeoju...

You must have been hurt a lot...

What should I do...

I need to apologize properly tomorrow...
