이서연

... what?

최연준 image

최연준

You're not a South American bird, are you?

최연준 image

최연준

That's a false rumor.

이서연 image

이서연

Uh... that's true, but...

최연준 image

최연준

Then there's nothing to worry about

최연준 image

최연준

I'll help you, Shin Hyo-joo

It was refreshing.

I hated Hyo-ju so much.

I also wanted to get rid of the rumors about me as soon as possible...

이서연 image

이서연

How can you help me?

최연준 image

최연준

well...

Yeonjun, who had been thinking for a moment, soon opened his mouth.

최연준 image

최연준

You know she has a boyfriend, right?

이서연 image

이서연

I know

최연준 image

최연준

Do you know who?

이서연 image

이서연

Sophomore Kang Tae-hyun...

최연준 image

최연준

He's my close friend, should I ask him for a favor?

최연준 image

최연준

Tell them to break up by making up strange rumors

이서연 image

이서연

Rumor...? Who? Could it be Hyo-ju?

Choi Yeonjun really knows everything.

최연준 image

최연준

no?

Yeah, this is a bit off.

I sent a signal with my eyes that it was no good, but for some reason I looked disappointed.

최연준 image

최연준

Hmm...

최연준 image

최연준

Even if you really help me?

Choi Yeonjun looks at me again.

이서연 image

이서연

still,

이서연 image

이서연

no

The Fed asked a question, seemingly skeptical of my answer.

최연준 image

최연준

Don't you hate Shin Hyo-joo?

이서연 image

이서연

I hate you, a lot...

이서연 image

이서연

But I don't hate it

이서연 image

이서연

We've been friends for a long time, so you don't hate each other all of a sudden.

I smiled slightly as the atmosphere seemed to have become heavy.

Choi Yeonjun also smiled.

최연준 image

최연준

You're kind

이서연 image

이서연

uh?...

최연준 image

최연준

If I were you, I would never think that way.

최연준 image

최연준

...just because you're nice

Yeonjun, who was embarrassed after saying it himself, turned red all the way to his ears.

It was quite cute how he kept avoiding my gaze.

이서연 image

이서연

... thank you,

이서연 image

이서연

Thank you for taking my side...

최연준 image

최연준

what...

The Fed scratched its head, still staring at the floor.

이서연 image

이서연

Well then, shall I go?

I couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere, so I said I would go first.

최연준 image

최연준

uh?

최연준 image

최연준

Yeah... Okay, bye

The federation waved its hand as if trying to break the awkwardness.

이서연 image

이서연

(Smile) You too~

The Fed stared at me until I closed the door and came out.

So much so that I could feel his burdensome gaze...

이서연 image

이서연

ha...

남다인 image

남다인

Hey, Lee Seo-yeon!

I heard Dain's voice calling me from far away.

이서연 image

이서연

Huh? You didn't go home?

남다인 image

남다인

Did you see me leaving you behind and going home?

남다인 image

남다인

Where have you been and come back now?

Dain said annoyedly.

이서연 image

이서연

Oh, just... I'll just stay at the library for a bit...

남다인 image

남다인

Lie, I've never been to a library before?

이서연 image

이서연

No, no, it's a library.

이서연 image

이서연

I was... at the gym

Please be fooled

남다인 image

남다인

Why do you go to the gym?

남다인 image

남다인

Don't joke around, speak straight

이서연 image

이서연

... club room

남다인 image

남다인

what?

남다인 image

남다인

Club room?

이서연 image

이서연

Nod)

남다인 image

남다인

Why are you going to the club room again? And you're the only one?

이서연 image

이서연

Oh, the teacher asked me to help him for a moment...

Please fool me

남다인 image

남다인

Then I should talk and go

남다인 image

남다인

Do you know how long I've been looking for you?

phew...

Fortunately, he was aware of being fooled.

I feel sorry for Dain, but

If I meet Choi Yeonjun again

You have to be careful about meeting men now.

It was obvious that he would make a fuss, asking me every single question about why I met him again.

이서연 image

이서연

Sorry, but we met anyway

이서연 image

이서연

Let go of your anger~ huh??

남다인 image

남다인

I was so worried that you little shit would be getting cursed at by someone or somewhere (sob)

이서연 image

이서연

Hey, do you think I'm that weak?

남다인 image

남다인

Still... I'm worried...

이서연 image

이서연

As expected... there's only you

Dain said, her cheeks drooping as she sobbed.

남다인 image

남다인

It hurts... Don't do it...

이서연 image

이서연

What are you doing while smiling~

이서연 image

이서연

Haha let's go!

I held Dain's hand tightly and walked out of the school gate.

I have a friend who is like Dain,

You are so lucky.
