Overcome the Trauma

#8: Protection

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

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

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

지훈 image

지훈

....ㅋㅋㅋso cute..

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

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

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

지훈 image

지훈

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

승철 image

승철

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

지훈 image

지훈

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

승철 image

승철

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

지훈 image

지훈

No;; Who confessed?!?

승철 image

승철

Anyone can see that.

지훈 image

지훈

No!!!

승철 image

승철

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

지훈 image

지훈

I guess I'll be on duty today.

승철 image

승철

Oh, then take a rest.

지훈 image

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 image

지훈

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

지훈 image

지훈

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

지훈 image

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 image

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 image

지훈

My lady!

여주 image

여주

Oh, Teacher Jihoon.

지훈 image

지훈

I came to pick you up because I was worried.

여주 image

여주

Ah...thank you!

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

지훈 image

지훈

What are you thankful for?

여주 image

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 image

지훈

I'll stop here for today.

여주 image

여주

yes.

지훈 image

지훈

great job.

여주 image

여주

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

지훈 image

지훈

Then I'll take you there.

여주 image

여주

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

지훈 image

지훈

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

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

여주 image

여주

Ah.. then that's good!!

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

승철 image

승철

What, you two?

여주 image

여주

......?

지훈 image

지훈

Oh, senior.

Yeoju quietly hid behind Jihoon.

승철 image

승철

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

지훈 image

지훈

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

승철 image

승철

Ah...you're the heroine.

여주 image

여주

..yes.

승철 image

승철

Jihoon was going crazy because you were cute.

여주 image

여주

N, yes?

승철 image

승철

Haha, it's really cute.

지훈 image

지훈

Right? It's cute. And it's pretty.

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

승철 image

승철

The female lead is embarrassed lol

여주 image

여주

Oh, ah... that's...////

지훈 image

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.
