Our shining seventeen
05 _ Our shining seventeen years


Nearly two weeks have passed since the library incident.

During that time, Choi Yeonjun and I met every day.

Starting from the hallways, gymnasium, and playground

Various special rooms such as music rooms, science rooms, etc.

Even on the way to and from school, we would often run into each other in front of the school gate.

Of course, I was really embarrassed every time that happened.

I don't want to see Choi Yeonjun because he always shows me surprised and annoyed looks.

I'm originally a quiet and affectionate person...

But it's also strange to suddenly treat Choi Yeonjun the way I used to be.

He'll definitely tease me and ask what I ate wrong.


이서연
hmm...


남다인
What makes you think so?


이서연
I just... have a lot of worries~


남다인
What are you worried about? What is it? What is it?


남다인
This older sister is also a counseling specialist.


남다인
I'll solve it all!


이서연
Okay lol what...


남다인
Oh, why don't you trust me?


남다인
I told you to trust only me?


이서연
You don't like it? Every time you give me advice, it's not great.


이서연
I didn't need any of your advice, did I?


이서연
Rather, the situation only got worse.

He turned his head away, pretending to frown.

I agree with everything Dain does, but

Counseling is really, really... no.

This is something I can't praise enough.

What kind of advice do kindergarteners give?


남다인
This time for real!!

Dain looked at me with sparkling eyes.


이서연
No, I won't do it


남다인
Tch, I guess I'll never help you again.

Our little one is upset again.

Beep beep beep-

I opened the door and went in, and for some reason my brother was home.


이서연
What, why are you at home?


이주연
What can't I do at home?


이서연
No... I'm just saying this because I'm not usually home.


이서연
Aren't you going to school?


이주연
When did I quit school?


이서연
to?


이주연
I stopped going until the holidays, I haven't gone since March.


이서연
Oh, really?


이서연
Then where have you been all this time?

It's already the end of June

I didn't know this until now?


이주연
Well, I went to the library and the reading room and stuff.


이주연
Are you not that interested in your brother?

He looks secretly disappointed.


이서연
I should have told you at some point...


이서연
How would I know when you don't even come home?


이서연
There's no trace of my brother at our house, huh?


이서연
I wondered where it had blown away in the wind.


이주연
lol


이주연
I see~


이주연
From now on, please pay more attention to your brother, bro?

My brother opened his eyes wide and went into the room.


이서연
... lol

I really want to hit him hard.


이서연
Oh, right


이서연
My brother quit his academy


남다인
Huh? Really?


남다인
why??


이서연
To be exact, it was cut off


남다인
Why past tense?


이서연
You haven't been there since March?


남다인
Has it been that long?


남다인
But why didn't you know this before?


남다인
You paid money and didn't go, what the heck?

As soon as Dain heard what I said, he started bombarding me with questions.


이서연
I don't know, you're always away from home like usual, how would I know?


이서연
When I suddenly got home yesterday, he was sitting on the sofa watching TV.


이서연
I really thought it was a ghost


남다인
Why didn't you come home every day?


남다인
After school, I have nowhere to go.


이서연
I guess he went to study


이서연
I heard you spent time in a library or reading room.


남다인
Huh... such a model student

Dain spoke, as if her imagination had run wild for a moment.


남다인
By the way, your older brother also studies well, right?


이서연
Uh, I don't think I've ever gotten less than 95 points.


남다인
Wow, seriously, this is crazy


남다인
Does that make sense?


이서연
Well, I guess it makes sense

Dain's surprised reaction of "That's amazing" made me even more proud of my brother.


이서연
I have to work harder to be as good as my brother.


남다인
Oh my~ Our Seoyeon is so cool!! (Clap clap)

Thanks to Dain, who suddenly started shouting and applauding loudly, all the students around me turned their attention to me.


이서연
Hey...! Be quiet, the kids are all looking at us.


남다인
Why are you embarrassed when people say you're cool?


이서연
Of course... Let's go quickly and keep our mouths shut

I quickly covered Dain's mouth and went into the school.

I didn't think much of it until then

I knew something would happen to me
