Overcome the Trauma
#8: Protection


As soon as Ji-hoon got home, he washed up and lay down on the bed.


지훈
Starting tomorrow... I'm consulting with Yeoju again...

Ji-hoon remembered again what Yeo-ju had said earlier about how she liked him.



지훈
....ㅋㅋㅋso cute..

Ji-hoon kept thinking about Yeo-ju and smiled.


승철
?


승철
Lee Ji-hoon, what's wrong with you...?

Seungcheol, who returned home, looked at his roommate strangely as he was laughing alone.


지훈
N, yes..!? Oh, what is it? It was my brother.


승철
What are you thinking? Why are you laughing so hard?


지훈
....because the female lead is so cute..


승철
.....You underage girl, you son of a bitch.


지훈
No;; Who confessed?!?


승철
Anyone can see that.


지훈
No!!!


승철
Okay, I get it, lol. What about Soonyoung?


지훈
I guess I'll be on duty today.


승철
Oh, then take a rest.


지훈
Brother too.

Seungcheol went back to his room and Jihoon was left alone again.

He kept giggling to himself and thinking of the female lead.

Then suddenly Ji-hoon started to worry about Yeo-ju.


지훈
What if I run into Lee Jin-yeo and Yeo-ju at the hospital?


지훈
Lee Jin-yeo is going to use violence again...


지훈
Tomorrow...I have to go pick you up...

Ji-Hoon, having finished thinking about this, fell into a deep sleep.

The next day,

이모
Then, let's meet later, heroine.


여주
Yes, see you later.

On the roadside near the hospital, Yeoju and her aunt exchanged greetings and went their separate ways.

And not long after Yeo-ju parted ways with her aunt, she runs into Ji-hoon.


지훈
My lady!


여주
Oh, Teacher Jihoon.


지훈
I came to pick you up because I was worried.


여주
Ah...thank you!

Ji-hoon smiled while stroking Yeo-ju's head.


지훈
What are you thankful for?


여주
....

The female protagonist also smiled faintly at the pleasant skinship.

And the two walked side by side into the hospital.

The consultation, which started right away, ended without any problems.


지훈
I'll stop here for today.


여주
yes.


지훈
great job.


여주
Yes, thank you for your hard work too, teacher!


지훈
Then I'll take you there.


여주
Yes? You're bothering me for no reason...


지훈
No, no!! I was going to go for a walk anyway!!

When the female protagonist apologized, Ji-hoon quickly denied it.


여주
Ah.. then that's good!!

We walked side by side when we left, just like when we came in earlier.


승철
What, you two?


여주
......?


지훈
Oh, senior.

Yeoju quietly hid behind Jihoon.


승철
...Something...I feel like I've become a bad person..?


지훈
This is Yeoju... Well... she's a little shy...


승철
Ah...you're the heroine.


여주
..yes.


승철
Jihoon was going crazy because you were cute.


여주
N, yes?


승철
Haha, it's really cute.


지훈
Right? It's cute. And it's pretty.

The female protagonist's face turned red at Ji-hoon's continued praise.


승철
The female lead is embarrassed lol


여주
Oh, ah... that's...////


지훈
Wow ㅋㅋ so cute ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Ji-hoon stroked Yeo-ju's head and smiled.

The female protagonist, who was even more embarrassed by him, lowered her head.
