Just 3 seconds

Chapter 2. Those 3 seconds

That's how I started liking him...

It's nothing special.

These days, I often meet Jeon Won-woo's eyes.

When I look at Jeon Won-woo, Jeon Won-woo looks at me too.

I felt eyes watching me from somewhere, so I turned my head and saw Jeon Won-woo looking at me again.

I know that too.

That I'm a gold digger.

But when our eyes meet, we remain in that state for at least 3 seconds.

During those 3 seconds, Jeon Won-woo doesn't dodge first, and I don't dodge either.

And after 3 seconds, they avoid eye contact with each other.

And then we make eye contact again.

전원우

...

유아현

...

김연우

Hey, what are you doing?

김연우

I'll wait for the kids, let's go.

유아현

Oh, yeah.

이린

Aren't you going home from school with Andoyeon today?

유아현

Yeah, he went to meet a friend from another school.

김연우

Friends from other schools?

Irin, Lin also belongs to the group of Torai.

권순영

So are you going to Moon Jun-hwi's today too?

문준휘

No. Why is it my house?

문준휘

I have to go to Jeonwonwoo's today.

I turned around when I heard a familiar voice.

It was a group of people all together.

Our eyes met again.

The corners of Jeon Won-woo's mouth rose slightly.

Because of that, I avoided eye contact.

김연우

Yoo Ah-hyun's face is red?

김연우

what's the matter?

유아현

Ah, hahaha... It's because it's hot. Because it's hot...

이린

hmm?

이린

Anyway, are you going to the convenience store today too?

유아현

I pass.

김연우

I pass too.

유아현

But what about the other kids?

유아현

Did you go first?

이린

Yeah, I jumped first.

이린

Then I guess I should go home too.

Linyi whines and sticks next to me.

Because I was pushed by Lin, I ended up getting close to Jeon Won-woo's group.

They were clearly behind me, but why are they walking so fast...

문준휘

Hey, be careful.

문준휘

I almost fell.

유아현

Oh, thank you.

전원우

...

I let my guard down and ran into him again.

이린

Sorry, sorry!

이린

Ahyeon, let's run!

유아현

Hey, hey hey!!

김연우

Ah, let's go together!!!

김연우

I'm so tired, man.

김연우

How was class today?

유아현

hmm...

유아현

Korean, math, science, physical education,

김연우

Stop.

김연우

Is 4th period PE?

유아현

Yeah, but why?

김연우

Physical education, I do it with the kids in class 4.

김연우

Miss, there's a group of them in class 4.

The group that Yeonwoo is talking about is the group that Jeonwonwoo belongs to.

This is the most famous group in our school.

Strangely, Yeonwoo hates that group.

They don't tell you why.

2nd period break.

To see my friend in class 3, I had to pass in front of class 4.

In front of class 4, there was Jeon Won-woo, and all of Jeon Won-woo's group of kids were gathered there.

Oh, how did it pass...

I was having a hard time because everything ahead was blocked, but Jeon Won-woo glanced at me and said.

전원우

Go this way.

And I answered.

유아현

thank you.

This wasn't the first time I'd talked to Jeon Won-woo.

I did it a few times last year and I said it a few times in the first semester,

It felt different than before.

To be honest, I was excited.

As I was trying to pass by Jeon Won-woo, the boy next to me pushed me away, as if he didn't see me.

Luckily, I avoided an embarrassing situation thanks to my quick reflexes, but I saw it.

Jeon Won-woo's hand that was trying to catch me.
