Chapter 5. Ambiguous Relationship

It's lunch time.

I didn't go out to eat today because I felt like I would get sick if I ate.

I am sitting alone in an empty classroom.

Tick, tick.

All I could hear was the sound of the clock repeating over and over again.

Suddenly the back door opened with a bang.

김민규 image

김민규

Ahyeon,

유아현 image

유아현

Ah, Kim Min-gyu.

김민규 image

김민규

Aren't you going to eat?

유아현 image

유아현

Yeah, I don't feel like eating.

김민규 image

김민규

Then let's go out to the playground and play.

I said okay because you seemed very bored.

Ah, I shouldn't have come out.

On the other side, Jeon Won-woo was walking arm in arm with senior Won Da-hee.

김민규 image

김민규

Yoo Ah-hyun's expression suddenly became serious.

유아현 image

유아현

No, it's not.

원다희 image

원다희

Wonwoo, I love walking like this with you.

전원우 image

전원우

huh,

원다희 image

원다희

Wonwoo, how about you?

전원우 image

전원우

Yeah, me too.

원다희 image

원다희

Hehehe.

김민규 image

김민규

It's gotten more serious?

김민규 image

김민규

what's the matter?

유아현 image

유아현

Hey, let's go in.

김민규 image

김민규

Why all of a sudden?

유아현 image

유아현

My legs hurt.

김민규 image

김민규

what??

김민규 image

김민규

Where are you??

김민규 image

김민규

why??

김민규 image

김민규

How come?

김민규 image

김민규

Should I carry you?!

유아현 image

유아현

Oh, man! Are you crazy?

유아현 image

유아현

Put it down!!

Kim Min-gyu suddenly put me on his back.

I was carried by Kim Min-gyu.

I'm glad I'm wearing gym clothes.

He hit Kim Min-gyu on the head and landed lightly.

김민규 image

김민규

Oh, it hurts...

유아현 image

유아현

You shouldn't carry a woman carelessly.

김민규 image

김민규

But you're sick...

유아현 image

유아현

If you understand, then don't chase me!

I tried to pass Kim Min-gyu and enter the school.

전원우 image

전원우

Ahyeon,

유아현 image

유아현

Hello Wonwoo.

원다희 image

원다희

Are you a friend?

원다희 image

원다희

I am Wonwoo's girlfriend Won Dahee.

유아현 image

유아현

I know senior Dahee.

유아현 image

유아현

I'm Yoo Ah-hyun.

유아현 image

유아현

If you have nothing to say, I'll go.

전원우 image

전원우

leg,

유아현 image

유아현

It's a faking illness.

유아현 image

유아현

Look, it's fine.

He jumped up and down in front of Jeon Won-woo.

김민규 image

김민규

Hey, Yoo Ah Hyun!!!

김민규 image

김민규

Are you really going to leave me behind?!!!

유아현 image

유아현

I'll go first!

I just passed Wonwoo.

김연우 image

김연우

What, is Ahyeon dating?

유아현 image

유아현

What are you talking about?

김연우 image

김연우

I saw it all.

김연우 image

김연우

You and Kim Min-gyu at the playground.

유아현 image

유아현

Oh, that.

유아현 image

유아현

No, he carried me by force.

김연우 image

김연우

Oh, is that so?

김연우 image

김연우

What else should I say?

Yeonwoo clicked her tongue, saying it was bland, and fell face down on the desk.

After a few seconds, Yeonwoo suddenly raises her head and speaks to me.

김연우 image

김연우

Change while you're at it.

김연우 image

김연우

In my opinion, Kim Min-kyu seems more likely than Jeon Won-woo.

And then three months passed.

Now I'm at the final stage of giving up on liking Jeon Won-woo.

김연우 image

김연우

Right, I have something to tell you.

유아현 image

유아현

What is it?

김연우 image

김연우

Jeon Won-woo broke up.

유아현 image

유아현

what?

유아현 image

유아현

Where did you hear that?

김연우 image

김연우

I overheard Lee Ji-hoon talking to Kwon Soon-young and Jeon Won-woo.

유아현 image

유아현

ah...

I almost gave up on liking Jeon Won-woo completely.

김연우 image

김연우

Hey, there comes your dog.

After hearing Yeonwoo's words, I turned around.

Kim Min-gyu was running towards me.

김민규 image

김민규

Ahhyun!!!

유아현 image

유아현

madam,

유아현 image

유아현

Yeonwoo, I'm going to the bathroom. You go first.

김연우 image

김연우

Hey, Ahyeon, fighting!

I avoided Kim Min-gyu and went into the bathroom.

Doyeon was washing her hands.

유아현 image

유아현

Oh, Doyeon.

안도연 image

안도연

Ahyeon, hi.

안도연 image

안도연

Why are you looking like that? What do you have to say?

I guess I'll ask while I'm at it.

I thought it would be better to ask now than to ask too late.

유아현 image

유아현

You liked Jeon Won-woo last year, right?

안도연 image

안도연

Ah~ That?

안도연 image

안도연

Why is that?

유아현 image

유아현

I was wondering if you still like me...

안도연 image

안도연

no?

안도연 image

안도연

It was already last year.

안도연 image

안도연

Do you like him by any chance??

유아현 image

유아현

...

안도연 image

안도연

Wow, that must be a bit of a headache.

Doyeon didn't ask any more questions.

안도연 image

안도연

Fighting!

안도연 image

안도연

I'll go out first.

유아현 image

유아현

huh.

Doyeon ran out, splashing water on my face.

유아현 image

유아현

It's all wet.

He came into our classroom.

When I entered the classroom, Jeon Won-woo was there.

I tried to pretend not to see him and go sit down.

전원우 image

전원우

...

Our eyes met again.

Jeon Won-woo didn't avoid eye contact, and I didn't avoid that eye contact either.

Even after 3 seconds had passed, I still looked at Jeon Won-woo without dodging first.

When Jeon Won-woo saw that I wasn't avoiding him, he was embarrassed and avoided eye contact first.

유아현 image

유아현

...

I felt my ears getting hot.
