Our shining seventeen
03 _ Our shining seventeen years



이서연
... what?


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


최연준
That's a false rumor.


이서연
Uh... that's true, but...


최연준
Then there's nothing to worry about


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
How can you help me?


최연준
well...

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


최연준
You know she has a boyfriend, right?


이서연
I know


최연준
Do you know who?


이서연
Sophomore Kang Tae-hyun...


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


최연준
Tell them to break up by making up strange rumors


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

Choi Yeonjun really knows everything.


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
Hmm...


최연준
Even if you really help me?

Choi Yeonjun looks at me again.


이서연
still,


이서연
no

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


최연준
Don't you hate Shin Hyo-joo?


이서연
I hate you, a lot...


이서연
But I don't hate it


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
You're kind


이서연
uh?...


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


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
... thank you,


이서연
Thank you for taking my side...


최연준
what...

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


이서연
Well then, shall I go?

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


최연준
uh?


최연준
Yeah... Okay, bye

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


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
ha...


남다인
Hey, Lee Seo-yeon!

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


이서연
Huh? You didn't go home?


남다인
Did you see me leaving you behind and going home?


남다인
Where have you been and come back now?

Dain said annoyedly.


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


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


이서연
No, no, it's a library.


이서연
I was... at the gym

Please be fooled


남다인
Why do you go to the gym?


남다인
Don't joke around, speak straight


이서연
... club room


남다인
what?


남다인
Club room?


이서연
Nod)


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


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

Please fool me


남다인
Then I should talk and go


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
Sorry, but we met anyway


이서연
Let go of your anger~ huh??


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


이서연
Hey, do you think I'm that weak?


남다인
Still... I'm worried...


이서연
As expected... there's only you

Dain said, her cheeks drooping as she sobbed.


남다인
It hurts... Don't do it...


이서연
What are you doing while smiling~


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.
