(From this episode onwards, the story progresses from Seo-yeon's point of view.)

Sugunsugun

필요한 역
Student 1) Is that Lee Seo-yeon?

필요한 역
Student 2) Yeah, I guess so

필요한 역
Student 1) He's also... pretty and good at studying.

필요한 역
Student 2) You didn't have any friends to begin with, did you?

필요한 역
Student 2) Now all my friends will leave.

As Dain said, the hallway was full of rumors about me.

Since when did you start talking about your friends and showing interest in them?

Witch hunts are no joke.


이서연
......

???
Please get out of the way~

A man with a voice I had never heard before shouted towards me.

But the hallway was still filled with the voices of students, and no one was willing to step aside.

???
Please get out of the way~!

The man shouted a little louder.

Only then did the students all turn their heads and look at the man.

I looked at him too.

???
What are you talking about so earnestly...?

필요한 역
Wow, isn't that a handsome guy in class 3? / Wow... he's handsome / Is that Choi Yeonjun? / Yeah, yeah, awesome •••


최연준
Huh? What are you talking about that makes you so noisy?


최연준
Let me join in too haha

Choi Yeonjun, the handsome guy in class 3, asked the female student next to him.

필요한 역
Uh... that...


최연준
Why are you so hesitant? Just tell me.

필요한 역
...ah......

The schoolgirl looked at me without saying a word.

for a moment,

me?


이서연
...?


최연준
Oh~ It's you?


최연준
Lee Seo-yeon

Why is my name... coming out of that kid's mouth?


이서연
Do you... know me?

It was a pretty stupid question.


최연준
No, what... someone must have done it because rumors were going around.


최연준
Nice to meet you?

ah...

South American bird...

You know me like that

I didn't want to talk any more, so I hurried out of the hallway.

I just didn't like it.


남다인
Ah, Lee Seo-yeo-eon!


이서연
...


남다인
What if I go alone? I'll be the only one caught for no reason.


이서연
...sorry


남다인
You told me to come later


이서연
(Pause) Who?


남다인
Who is it? Who is it? It's Choi Yeonjun.


이서연
Choi Yeonjun...


이서연
That guy earlier...?


남다인
Oh, class 3 is coming soon


이서연
why...


이서연
Why is he calling me?


남다인
Not me?


남다인
I want to know too~


이서연
...I don't want to go


남다인
what?


이서연
no


남다인
why?


남다인
Why don't you go?


남다인
He's a handsome guy, isn't he?

The moment I became dizzy from the rapid-fire questions


신효주
...

It's Shin Hyo-joo.

Shin Hyo-joo stares at us intently.


신효주
...!

As soon as our eyes met, he pretended not to know...

I also turned my head away in a sense of betrayal.


남다인
Why? Is anyone there?


이서연
Ah... no, nothing


이서연
By the way, what did you say?


남다인
Why aren't you going? You're so handsome.


이서연
When have you ever seen me interested in a guy...

He spoke in a slightly louder voice.

Looking at Shin Hyo-joo, as if telling her to listen.


신효주
......

As expected, our eyes met.

however,

This feeling that makes me want to cry at any moment...

I felt the corners of my eyes getting redder and redder.


남다인
Ah... the rumor about you...


남다인
I'm sorry, are you really angry?

Dain must think I'm crying because of the rumors.

There's a rumor going around that he's a crazy handsome guy.

It's because I was talking about a handsome guy.


이서연
ha...

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and smiled as if nothing had happened.

I didn't want Dain to get hurt because of me.


이서연
It's not like that, it's just...

I say no

A teardrop rolled down my cheek without me noticing.


남다인
Hey... are you crying?


남다인
Don't cry... Why are you crying, you...

Dain hugged me tightly without saying a word.

I knew it.

That Dain was hurt just as much as I was.

A friend who had been with me since childhood suddenly became the butt of everyone's ridicule.

The reason is a friend I was close with,

It was because of a friend who had been with me through thick and thin for three years.

The sense of betrayal must have been enormous.

I know.

How much Dain likes me...

How much like family we are

I know.

I also hugged Dain tightly without saying a word.

I'm sorry

And thank you
