"Sister!"
Is this voice...? Park Ji-hoon?
박지훈
"Sister, why are you so late? I thought you were dying to see me."
김여주
"uh..?"
여우연
"Lady..? This person.."
박지훈
"Oh, you're Yeoju noona's friends, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Park Ji-hoon, Yeoju noona's boyfriend."
What the hell is going on? Nothing makes sense. Why is Park Ji-hoon here right now? Why is he pretending to be my boyfriend?
여우연
"Hey, you should have told me if you had a boyfriend... He's quite handsome... haha"
김민수
"Hey, Yeo Yeon! What are you talking about?"
박지훈
"Thank you. Then we will go now."
여우연
"Yes... goodbye..."
박지훈
"Sister, don't you look prettier today?"
김여주
"Huh? Uh...thank you."
김민수
"Hey..! Yeo Woo-yeon..! Are you going to let Kim Yeo-ju go like this..? You were the one who said we should screw you over first!"
여우연
"Ah, be quiet...!! Stay away from me, I'm going crazy!"

박지훈
"Oh, I got goosebumps, I thought I was going to die from squealing."
김여주
"How do you know...?"
박지훈
"My friend told me that I should come and be your surrogate boyfriend or something."
김여주
"Thank you...ugh"
박지훈
"Hey, are you crying?!"
I should have said thank you, but the tears I'd been holding back for a while burst out and wouldn't stop. I don't know why I only show my ugly side in front of Park Ji-hoon. I really didn't want to be like this. I wanted to be a great teacher.
박지훈
"Hmm... let's go for a walk."
김여주
"Ugh...huh?"
박지훈
"And then you go home? You'll regret it when you look in the mirror tomorrow."

박지훈
"Oh my... I can't believe I'm here with you again."
김여주
"Have we been here before?"
박지훈
"You had a hard time here when you were drinking."
Ah... I finally forgot, but now I remember. Honestly, I still don't remember the drunken brawl I caused, but I guess it happened here.
박지훈
"Is this why you drank so much back then?"
김여주
"Yeah... but it's okay now."
박지훈
"Can I ask what's going on now?"
김여주
"It's nothing. There was a boy I liked a long time ago... He did a lot of bad things to me, but I still had feelings for him. As of today, I've forgotten everything, so it's okay."
박지훈
"..."
What's with this reaction? I felt a little embarrassed that Park Ji-hoon didn't say anything after all I had said. If it was going to be like this, I shouldn't have asked at all. I figured I should just quickly change the subject.
김여주
"But you really are like Superman."
박지훈
"..."
김여주
"Thanks to you, you've seen all sorts of things about me, but I'm grateful. Whenever I've had a hard time lately, you've always been there."
박지훈
"..because I like it"
김여주
"huh..?"
Did I mishear you? But didn't you just say you liked me?!
박지훈
"..That's because you like me too much. You call me after drinking."
This kid? Of course, I was trying to have a heart-to-heart talk, but he's hitting on my sore spot. Come to think of it, we've become so close lately. If he doesn't piss me off like this, he's not Park Ji-hoon.

_"What are you doing?"
Ah, it's Joohyun. Now that I think about it, I didn't have the courage to tell Joohyun that I went to the reunion, so he still doesn't know what a spectacular experience I had.
박지훈
"Go now. Looking at your ugly face makes my eyesight go bad."
김여주
"I'm sorry I'm ugly. But I have to see you tomorrow too because of tutoring. Take care of your eyesight."
