Rose in the bush
Episode 24


At Taehyun's words, Minju looked Yunseo up and down.

Yunseo opened her mouth at Minju's gaze.


노윤서
Stop looking up and down.


노윤서
Even I feel a little bad about this.

Minju burst into laughter as if my words were ridiculous, and I lowered Taehyun's hand and said.


노윤서
I think you know the general situation, but I won't go into detail.


노윤서
Don't get in my way, let's solve this between the two of us.


김민주
Ha... Really. You were the one who got involved in the first place.


김민주
If someone saw you, they would think that Taehyun really likes you.

Minju looked at me and squeezed my shoulder.

Then he snorted and nervously ran his hand through his hair.


김민주
Taehyun, do you still think this X is better than me?


노윤서
Ha... I still haven't come to my senses.


노윤서
If you just look at it, it will quietly take care of itself.


노윤서
Where did you get the excuse to speak informally?


노윤서
Is it good to live like that?


노윤서
Even though you're a high school student, do you still feel like the world is yours?

I took a step closer, shook off Minju's shoulder, and did the same.


노윤서
How does it feel? How does it feel to experience the same behavior as you?

Minju's face, which was already frowning, crumpled thanks to me.

I said it without caring.


노윤서
Let's be polite to each other.


노윤서
Seniors should speak like seniors and juniors should speak like juniors.

And then I looked at Taehyun.


노윤서
Kang...Taehyun? I know you were in a difficult situation.


노윤서
This is what makes things difficult for me.


강태현
Ah. That's not what I meant..

And then the teacher came in and Taehyun ended up sitting down without being able to finish his speech.

선생님
What? Why is a third-year student here?


노윤서
Oh, I have something to tell you. Can I talk to you for a moment?

The teacher nodded at my words

Only then was I able to convey my original purpose.


노윤서
Hello everyone. I am Noh Yun-seo, the president of the theater club.


노윤서
Our theater club performs a play once a year.


노윤서
It is carried out in collaboration with the Broadcasting Department, Media Department, and Craft Department.


노윤서
We ask for your interest.

I left after putting up the promotional materials.

What high school student would have time to prepare for a play?

Of course, everyone was looking at it with indifferent expressions.

But that was only for a moment.

학생
Hey, but wasn't that senior from before pretty?

학생
Should I just take a look at the audition?

학생
If you do well, you might be able to date him lol

학생
Oh you fucking idiot lol can this work?

학생
Just look at your face and tell me lol

As the students talked about Yunseo, Taehyun grabbed their shoulders from behind and said.


강태현
What's so funny? Let me know.

As they put a little more strength into the shoulder they were holding, they slapped Taehyun's arm away as if they were offended.

학생
Ah. Why are you being so sensitive? We're not even dating.

학생
It's none of your business.


강태현
...i like you.

The student asked back at Taehyun's words.

학생
what?


강태현
Do I have to tell you everything in detail for you to understand?


강태현
I like that older sister.
