male friend,

Episode 6. The Little Master Has a Secret Love

++ Totally shocked and touched,, I love you. It's all thanks to you all🙈🤍🥺

I was frozen like that for a while... The gym teacher was approaching from far away. I knew what he was going to say without even looking.

“Oh my… where in a sacred school is there excessive physical contact between the sexes…!”

When the teacher says something, the child should move away a little... but since there was no sign of that happening, I was the first to move away.

I stare at the distant mountains for no reason and shake off my gym clothes that haven't even collected dust.

Only then did Park Jimin come to his senses and clear his throat. Seeing the two of us, the teacher opened his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't miss this opportunity.

"By any chance, the two of you…"

The kids who followed the gym teacher are busy adding sound effects. Oh~~~ Could it be the two of them?!

He seems to enjoy this attention, he just looks at me and smiles.

윤여주

… Don't laugh, I know it's true.

I whispered something so that the kids around me wouldn't hear, and he smiled meaningfully.

Don't just laugh, try to escape this attention!

윤여주

… … Um, teacher. Shall we wrap things up now?

윤여주

It's almost time to finish...

"Okay, then let's do that. Take care of the rest too~!"

I hold up the basketball in my hand and ask the teacher… Then, Park Jimin naturally picks up my ball too.

박지민

I'll bring it.

윤여주

…Huh? Huh… … .

He was carrying my ball so casually... and that guy, Yoon Yeo-ju, couldn't hide his emotions. His face turned red and he couldn't move an inch from that spot.

After that, Park Jimin came back and asked me if I wasn't going to class, and only then did I come to my senses and go back to class.

The class that followed.

My partner, Park Jimin, and I were busy doodling in each other's textbooks. Of course, we chatted a little.

윤여주

Do you have water?

박지민 image

박지민

There isn't any.

Maybe it's because we have gym class, but I'm especially thirsty. And to make matters worse, I forgot to bring my usual water bottle today...

윤여주

I'm thirsty-.

How can I wait until class is over… Park Jimin stares at me as I lie face down on my desk, thinking to myself.

박지민

Buy some water?

윤여주

No, it's okay-.

It's class time, so where are you going? The question itself is so absurd that I'm laughing inside... Then I hear our names from up ahead.

It seemed like we were caught on the homeroom teacher's radar screen, chattering away. During the teacher's scolding, we just kept our mouths shut, exchanged glances, and smiled awkwardly.

윤여주

…now really hush.

As expected, Park Ji-min, the frog, started writing something in my book as soon as I finished speaking.

I was just looking at the teacher's face for no reason... I was curious about what he wrote, so I checked.

The question, written crookedly, was quite adorable. But then, wondering what the question meant, I quickly wrote an answer beneath it.

Not long after that, Park Jimin's handwriting was visible below my handwriting.

윤여주

…together?

The words escaped my lips in a moment of panic. The kids sitting in front of me, the kids sitting next to me, and even the teacher all turned their attention to me.

… Oh, I’m screwed.

As expected, the teacher immediately punished him by telling him to leave. He didn't forget to mutter to himself, "Why is this normally quiet kid acting like this today?"

As I slowly got up from my seat and headed back with my textbook in my hand… it was Park Jimin who suddenly grabbed my wrist.

He soon pulled me towards him and whispered in my ear.

박지민

Goodbye, little master.

…Wow. What a disgusting guy. It's already sad that he has to feel this shame in front of the person he likes…

The shame doubles because he's teasing me. I really want to crawl into a hole.

Huh, I guess I'll have dinner with you later!

…I had clearly made a serious decision, but why is Park Jimin sitting in front of me now?

(It's not a secret that I'm happy inside)

박지민

Did you listen properly in class earlier?

윤여주

…no.

You should just leave me alone. I swallowed my words and tried to suppress the frozen excitement from the school lunch, busying myself with swallowing the melted portion.

We sat across from each other in silence, looking at each other. Park Jimin, who had been staring at me, stood up and walked away.

Was he just sucking up all that excitement? A familiar person took Park Jimin's place.

구희진

Hey! Are you going to leave me and eat lunch?

Her name is Gu Hee-jin. She is my best friend of five years, the same height as me down to the decimal point, and she has a quick temper.

We always eat lunch together… Heejin, who doesn’t know about me because she’s in a different class, came down to the cafeteria after looking for me for a while.

윤여주

Oh, sorry. I didn't tell you in advance.

구희진 image

구희진

…big, with my broad heart, I will forgive you just for today.

By the way, who's that guy eating with you? Heejin asked cautiously, pointing to Park Jimin's plate.

윤여주

Do you know?

윤여주

Park Jimin… he said.

Park Jimin… Park Jimin? Heejin asked again, as if she couldn't believe her ears. Her expression showed that she had difficulty understanding.

구희진 image

구희진

… have you ever seen him eat with anyone?

I looked up at the shadow cast over the table where I was sitting, and saw Park Jimin. He was holding a cup of water in both hands.

윤여주

Where have you been?

박지민 image

박지민

To get water.

“You said you were thirsty earlier.” He readily offered me a glass of water, and I took it without thinking.

Even the fact that he remembered what I said a few hours ago... is so annoying. This kind of sense made me blush again.

I turned my head to the side, wondering if Goo Hee-jin had noticed me.

He was looking at me with a warm smile, a kind of mumbled smile that seemed to have already defined the relationship between Park Jimin and me.

++ There's a friend around me who drinks kimchi stew first just like Heejin. Right😌
