Seducing an iron man
18



The strong wind wasn't cool, but it was painful.

Taehyung took one look at the girl, made brief eye contact, and then casually passed her and went out through the front door.

백여아
Oh, yeah...

The girl, left alone, remained motionless for a moment, her face blank. No, she couldn't move. It was as if her legs had frozen.



Thump. The sound of a paper cup being placed firmly filled the empty break room. Taehyung stood up and remained there, dazed. The events of the previous moment, fleetingly passing, kept replaying in his mind.

I feel a bit queasy. It's as if what just happened was my fault. I was just being honest, but my words were just a little irritated.

I couldn't help it. It was a crucial exam period. I was 19, and the exams might determine my future. So, my mind was so focused on studying as much as possible that I couldn't see anything else.



Taehyung is the type to calmly address and resolve any problem. However, this problem was so far beyond his scope that he couldn't handle it calmly. As a result, instead of solving it, he was piling up problems. It was like a failed RPG.

In RPGs, you develop yourself as you develop your character. To develop both yourself and your character, you must complete achievements and progress step by step. But instead of completing them, you're stuck with the more difficult ones, struggling to complete only your goals, and not even looking at the ones you've already set aside.

When I pulled out the achievements I'd saved, they piled up like a mountain, but with Taehyung's current character, it was absolutely impossible to solve them. It was because they were far beyond his scope.

Kkuuk. He used half his strength to crumple the paper cup he was holding. The paper cup was now useless. Taehyung turned around and headed back to his seat.



The legs that had been struggling to walk suddenly stopped. Because of Jeon Jungkook, who was standing before him. Taehyung's expression crumpled. Like the paper cup he had been clutching with all his might earlier, he crumpled.


김태형
What is he doing in my place...

Jungkook, who had been sitting in Taehyung's seat, flipping through the workbook, was suddenly scribbling something down with a mechanical pencil. Taehyung's eyebrows shot up involuntarily as he watched Jungkook, grinning and writing.



전정국
Here like this...


김태형
Hey, what are you doing?

Taehyung, who had been standing quietly beside Jungkook, opened his mouth. Jungkook turned his head toward the sound and raised it. "Ah, Taehyung hyung." Jungkook called Taehyung's name softly, then smiled at Taehyung, who was right in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up.


김태형
What are you doing now?


전정국
Well, I guess I should just say that I was slightly correcting my brother's mistakes.

Upon hearing Jungkook's answer, Taehyung quickly snatched the mechanical pencil from Jungkook's hand. In fact, Jungkook's solution to the problem was correct. Taehyung, after much thought, finally solved it. Seeing him solve the problem so easily, which he'd already gotten wrong, left Taehyung feeling deeply hurt.


전정국
Oh, brother, you have to study.

"I'll get you a seat." That expression, the corners of his eyes rounded, shook Taehyung even more. Jungkook tapped Taehyung's shoulder twice and left the library as if nothing had happened.




전정국
Taehyung, you work really hard.

After leaving the library, Jungkook wandered the streets, staring intently at his phone. The screen displayed several children's contact information. Jungkook swiped through the screen, checking the contact information. The person he was currently contacting...


전정국
Oh, there isn't any.

There wasn't any. Everyone was busy with exams, so there was no one to hang out with or contact. Ha. A short sigh escaped my lips. I thought, "Should I just study for my exams?"

He'd thought about it, but since he was already satisfied with his current study load, he didn't need to. Even if he wasn't the type to enjoy studying to begin with, Jeongguk figured he'd quit after 30 minutes.

Jungkook, who had been mumbling to himself as he walked, gazed up at the sky. "Wow, the sky is really pretty. The weather is clear, perfect for playing. Why is everyone so absorbed in studying for exams?"

As he walked, grumbling and staring at the sky, Jungkook felt a strange sensation on his shoulder. With a thud, he lowered his head and looked at the woman who had bumped into him. "Oh, it was me who bumped into him." As he walked, staring at the sky, Jungkook realized he had bumped into the woman.


백여아
Oh... I'm sorry.

But Jeongguk's eyes widened at the woman who apologized first. I think I bumped into her... Why apologize first...?


전정국
No, I bumped into it...

The woman standing before him had already scurried away, unnoticed. Jungkook scratched the back of his head and let out a sheepish laugh. "What was that? Let's just go."

And then, as if about to step, he felt something catch beneath his feet. It was heavy yet light... He looked down and saw his wallet. Jungkook picked it up, looked around, and then, as if a thought had occurred to him, he muttered quietly.



전정국
I think it's that woman from earlier.

Click. He opened his wallet and saw his student ID card, which greeted him at first glance. Where is this school?... Jungkook, who had been looking at the back of his student ID card, smiled.


전정국
Look at it.

The flower petals that were precariously hanging on the tip of the tree were blown away naturally by the wind.




I have a question. How did you all find me? I didn't promote myself and was just quietly writing... I'm really curious as to how you all found me...!
