I thought everything was resolved, but it wasn't.

It seems Yerin's homeroom teacher found out about the incident that happened in Yerin's class two days ago.

Today, my homeroom teacher came to me and said

The teacher of Class 3 is looking for me.

I asked what happened.

I kept my mouth shut tight.

I just didn't want to think about that again.

It was a bad memory for both Yerin and me.

However, Yerin and I had to recall that memory again.

Yerin's voice keeps lingering in my mind.

Yerin's voice as she tried to explain the situation while crying

It feels like it keeps digging into my ears.

I don't really know why I'm acting like this.

Is it because it was the first time I saw Yerin struggling?

Or was it because seeing Yerin sad was unfamiliar?

Yerin from back then keeps lingering in my mind.

that's right

It exploded exactly two days after that happened....

Actually, the incident happened the next day.

I wonder if the teacher who was teaching our class at the time told the homeroom teacher.

After school ended and closing time, the teacher who had sent the friends home

I called that friend.

And I asked

I asked what happened between the two of them.

I didn't say anything, but

While explaining the situation, my friend informed the teacher that a friend from another class had come during break time, and even mentioned that the friend from the other class was my friend.

At my friend's words, the teacher started to interrogate me, and

I had been trying to keep my mouth shut, but in the end, I had to confess that a friend named Jung Eun-bi from Class 2 had come.

The teacher who heard that, said he understood, and sent the two of us back was

The next day, I arranged a separate time for them to talk after school.

Right now, if I had just had such an experience, I could talk about it and move on, but

At that time, it remains a very painful and hurtful memory.

Teacher) Did you do well at school today?

Friends) Yes!

Teacher) Okay, good job today. Yerin and her friend will stay for a while, and everyone else will go home.

Friends) Yes!!!

And so all the friends left the class.

Only Yerin, her friend, and the homeroom teacher of Class 3 remain in the classroom.

Teacher) Kids, what happened during Korean class yesterday?

Korean class...?

Teacher) The Korean teacher told me yesterday during class that something came up and asked if we could talk, so I kept you here to discuss it with you.

Teacher) Did something happen?

Friend) I just mentioned a situation where I got into trouble with Yerin during class, and it seems like Yerin was really upset.

Friend) But the atmosphere did get a bit tense because of that...

Teacher) Is it true?

Friend) I was talking about that during the break after class, but then a friend from another class came over and something happened.

Friend) And I think that friend is Yerin's friend.

Teacher) Yerina

Teacher) Can you tell me which class that friend is in?
