EP.09 Sports Festival (1)



하여주
" ..... "

at last


권순영
"Everyone looks pretty today? I'm totally falling for them."

It finally came.

학생들
"Ack hahahaha Teacher~ hahahaha / What? You're going to fall for me too~"


권순영
I tried dressing up a bit too! How does it look?



권순영
It means I'm your king.

학생들
Oh~.....


권순영
"What's with the reaction... it's a bit sad?"

학생들
"Hahaha, just kidding! / You're handsome, teacher."


권순영
"Yeah hahahaha"


권순영
"I know very well that I'm handsome."

학생들
"Teacher, we're playing dodgeball first, right?"


권순영
Lol hahaha right, dodgeball first.

Sunyoung, who had been ignored by some reason, started gathering the students to play dodgeball.


_


권순영
I think you guys could be on the national dodgeball team.

Sunyoung, who had been thinking seriously, nodded.

학생들
"Teacher, isn't there a prize for coming first in dodgeball?"


권순영
" huh! "

학생들
"Oh my god, really? / Disappointed... What the heck? ㅠㅠ"


권순영
Instead, you won the title of 3rd Grade Dodgeball King!

Sunyoung, showing a proud reaction, approached Yeoju, who was watching the students from afar.


권순영
"What's wrong? Is it not fun?"


하여주
" ....no. "


하여주
It's fun

Sunyoung, laughing along with Yeoju who was wearing a sincere smile of her own, began to shower her with compliments.


권순영
The female lead was good at dodgeball, too.


하여주
Well... it's the basics.


권순영
"Hahaha, really? Is it just basic?"


하여주
"I've seen a lot of smaller and faster things, so why wouldn't I be able to dodge that ball?"


권순영
Looking at something and avoiding it are different, haha.


하여주
" ....That's correct, too."

Having run out of things to say, Sunyoung changed the subject.


권순영
You did your makeup beautifully! I'm falling for you.


권순영
"You are pretty to begin with, though?"


하여주
"Teacher, that doesn't work anymore either."


권순영
"Hahaha, really?"


하여주
"Every time I see the students, I say they are pretty, handsome, or cute."


하여주
"Teacher, you know that's a problem too, right?"


권순영
"No way lol no~"


권순영
"Doing something else, then a pure......? "


권순영
"Looking at the children, they are all just pretty."


권순영
"Well... high schoolers aren't exactly innocent, though!"

Leaving Sunyoung, who had been nodding in agreement, behind, Yeoju looked at the students enjoying the sports day while laughing heartily.


하여주
" ...... "


하여주
Everyone looks happy.


권순영
You can be happy too.


하여주
"...That's an interesting thing to say."

Sunyoung whispered into the ear of Yeoju, who looked somewhat wistful.


권순영
There's a surprise water play session after the three-legged race.


권순영
Let's enjoy today!


권순영
"Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity given by the Chairman?"


하여주
As expected, you knew.


권순영
"I am doing this out of concern for you."


권순영
"I can't ignore your sincerity, can I?"


하여주
"Ah, I understand."

Yeoju, who had needlessly avoided Sunyoung's gaze, met Jihoon's eyes, who had been there for who knows how long.


지훈
" .... "

In the end, Jihoon was the first to look away and move to a different spot.


권순영
" hmm? "


하여주
" ..... "

I stared blankly at the back of that kid as he passed by.

I don't know... why I did that either.


권순영
" ......haha "

Sunyoung swept her bangs back and smiled softly without Yeoju even noticing.


권순영
It's fun, as expected.


하여주
What?

Yeoju tilted her head at Sunyoung's words as if nothing had happened.


권순영
"Haha, no, nothing."

It bothers me a little, but I don't think they'll tell me, so I decided to just give up.


권순영
I was holding on for too long!


하여주
" no "


권순영
"Yeah, try to get closer to your friends!"

The female lead's distorted expression looked unpleasant.


하여주
"......I'll just try my best."


권순영
"Hahaha, that's so you! Got it."

Sunyoung stood up from her seat, grabbed a passing student, and tried to strike up a conversation.


하여주
".....You're amazing, Teacher, too.. "

I sat on a movable goalpost, closed my eyes, and basked in the sunlight, spending a noisy yet languid time.

I don't know how much time has passed like that.

I blinked my heavy eyelids at the voice of a student.


하여주
" ..... "


하여주
"It's cold"

Cold ice water, left there by someone unknown, occupied my arms.


하여주
" ....what "

At the voice telling us to hurry up for the three-legged race, I left the water bottle behind and headed towards where the children had gathered.


_


채연
Go, Yeoju!


하여주
" hey "


채연
" huh?! "

At the way Yeoju finally looked at her, Chaeyeon looked at Yeoju with expectant eyes.


하여주
"Did you put the ice water out?"


지훈
" ..... "


채연
"Uh... ice water...?"


채연
".....Yeah, I let go! Why?"


하여주
" ....also. "

That's enough. It was the female lead who turned her head away again.


채연
" .....what "


의화
"Lee Chaeyeon, hurry up, it's next."


채연
Oh, sorry!

Sunyoung, who appeared out of nowhere, looked at Yeoju and Jihun.


권순영
It's the turn after next!


지훈
Ah, yes.


권순영
The two of you... can do well, right?


권순영
"I was a bit nervous even during practice... so I'm not sure if I can do well!"


권순영
"Well, I'm not aiming for first place. As long as you guys don't fight on the way and don't get hurt, that's all that matters! You know that, right?"


하여주
" yes "


권순영
" go for it! "


지훈
" ..... "

Lee Chaeyeon, what on earth were you thinking...


하여주
What are you doing? Come here quickly.

It’s not like he put it there himself.


지훈
" .....go. "


_

As soon as Jihoon, who had passed his turn, came out of the line, he untied the bandage from his ankle with me and left.


하여주
" .....her "

I was upset.

I didn't expect her to let it go so heartlessly.

And it was strange again.

At that heartless behavior

I felt disappointed.

what?

What is making me feel this way?

Lee Ji-hoon, you,


하여주
"What on earth is this..."


_


승관
"Hyung~ You're doing better than I thought..."


승관
"What, what is it?"

Seungwan, surprised by seeing Jihoon's face, opened his eyes wide and stared at Jihoon.


석민
"Why... is your face so red?"


석민
Are you feeling unwell?


지훈
It doesn't hurt


지훈
It's a bit... hot.

Jihoon picked up the ice water as if it were nothing and gulped down the cold water.


석민
"Uh, where did one of the ice waters go?"


승관
"Oh, that was my emergency backup! You don't have it?


석민
"Yeah, it's not there... What is it?"


지훈
" .....hey "


지훈
"The numbers... I must have counted them wrong, what's the problem?"


석민
" ...... "

Seokmin, who had been looking at Jihun for a moment as he seemed a bit strange, smiled again and replied, "Is that so?"


승관
"It can't be helped, I guess! There's plenty of water anyway."


지훈
" then. "

Jihoon, who was rubbing his sunken cheek, turned his gaze to the sound of children coming from the water tap.


지훈
"....Ah, there's a water fight over there"

채연
- Name: Lee Chaeyeon


채연
- Age: 19 / Blood Type: AB / MBTI: ESTJ


채연
- Special Note: He is an ordinary friend.


채연
- Sometimes, lost in thought, they fail to hear others. What could they be thinking?


채연
- I think I heard a rumor that if you get hooked on something, your obsession gets intense... but that's not confirmed information. Ah, then maybe I shouldn't use it? Haha, I don't know.


하여주
what.


하여주
So is that why they treated me so badly?


하여주
Because you like Ha Sung-woon?


하여주
.......

I think I've gotten myself into trouble.
