slowly..

Do you want to go together?

-

이여주

My ears are red..

이여주

why?..

As Yeo-ju tilts her head, Hyun-ju falls silent. As if there's nothing more to talk about with her.

윤현주

You know that, right?^_^

이여주

….!

이여주

no way..

윤현주

Yeah, that's right~

윤현주

Why don't you go and ask for his name?

윤현주

But still, we're just a couple, right?^^

이여주

!!…///..

As the female protagonist's ears slowly started to burn, Hyun-ju looked at her with surprised rabbit eyes.

윤현주

Huh?

윤현주

What is this~ The ears of the world's best woman are turning red??

윤현주

That guy is really talented..ㅋㅋㅋ

Hyunju made a gesture as if she was tapping a boy through the window, as if she found it amusing.

이여주

… I don’t know.. Ising

윤현주

Hey, you should try dating too. How long are you going to be single? This older sister is very experienced, so ask her for advice. ^^

The female lead was a little taken aback. They just made eye contact and their ears blushed a little, not even red, but blushed a little.. It was burdensome for her friends to turn their backs and say it was just a fling, and she was in high school and studying was important too.

The heroine knew that something was a little off about her feelings. But she neither wanted to nor had the courage to do so.

이여주

(Just... if you stay quiet, it will cool down,,,

The mindset that the female protagonist has lived with until now

(My friends are very displeased though)

When the female lead didn't say anything, Hyun-ju patted her shoulder and comforted her.

윤현주

I don't know yet..

윤현주

So don't worry too much about it. I was just asking you to at least ask your name.

이여주

Yeah... but I don't think I have any feelings?

윤현주

?? What are you saying, your ears..

윤현주

uh?

The red ears of the female protagonist had returned to their original color as if nothing had happened.

윤현주

.. It's weird.. But my ears will be red even if only temporarily.. This alone is big news

이여주

Ugh... You should study too,,

윤현주

I'm still in the first year of high school lol

이여주

(Grumble grumble)

After school dismissal time

윤현주

Oh my~ An academy...ㅠㅠ

이여주

I'm not going lol

윤현주

Oh my goodness~~~! Really,,

윤현주

Can you study by yourself?

이여주

Well...except math!

이여주

So I get tutoring for math~

윤현주

I'm really proud of it...

이여주

lol

이여주

Have a nice trip~

윤현주

? I'll go with you to the station! Are you going alone??

이여주

Oh, I found a friend to go with. He got off at the same station! You go first~

The female lead smiled brightly at Hyun-ju as if telling her not to worry.

윤현주

..Oh,, okay! (Doubtful..). If you're going to make a lot of friends, introduce me to some too!!

As Hyun-ju disappears towards the academy, Yeo-ju waits in front of the school gate.

이여주

…

The heroine took out her earphones from her pocket and put them in her ears.

I've been using these earphones since middle school. They're old, but they hold so many memories and the sound is clear and great.

The heroine looked at the flea and skipped the first song.

..~We are at a wonderful age~..

Someone approached behind the female protagonist who was listening to music.

Step by step...

Tuktuk,,

뒷자리 남학생

..Yeoju?

이여주

..?!

이여주

(Huh!) Oh, uh!..

The female protagonist looked up at the male student.

뒷자리 남학생

..did you really wait for me?,,

이여주

Yeah, you promised.

3 hours ago

이여주

…

The class bell went up and Mr. Dam-am came back in to take a survey, but Yeo-ju couldn't hear it.

이여주

… rustle

Yeoju chewed on Hyunju's words.

윤현주

,,I need to know the name,,

이여주

(Oh my gosh, I'm going crazy..ㅠ

Fortunately, as soon as the two finished talking, the paper was struck, so there was no time to ask the boy his name.

이여주

(I'm going to hear another scolding from Hyunju... The expression on her face when she looks at me is just ridiculousㅠㅠ

담임쌤

Okay, please fill out the survey and we'll pick a temporary vacancy. Anyone interested??

Swish,,

Two people raised their hands. One in front and one behind.

담임쌤

Huh? There are two of you. Then just do it together. You know the temporary class presidents are supposed to do all the class president duties until the class president election next Friday, right? The two of you play rock-paper-scissors to decide the class president and vice president. Got it?

이여주

yes,,

뒷자리 남학생

yes

윤현주

(Oh my god?

윤현주

(Look at these... I guess these two need to get along well... hehe

Tiddling tiring tiring~

After finishing the paperwork, the boy and girl went to the teacher who was waving their hand.

담임쌤

Who will be the class president?

뒷자리 남학생

..

이여주

,,,

뒷자리 남학생

Do you want to...?,,

이여주

Huh? Oh, yeah, thank you ^^

담임쌤

Hmm... (His gaze is unusual) Okay, and if you do well now, it'll be beneficial during the class president election, so work hard! Don't worry about the student record. The teacher will take good care of it~

(Together) Yes!

담임쌤

Oh, today is the 7th period, so I know we'll be doing self-introductions!

The teacher left and the classroom became noisier than before.

이여주

Hey, you by any chance..

뒷자리 남학생

huh?

이여주

This...re,,,ㅁ!

When Naeun ran towards Yeoju and threw a body punch at her, Yeoju's body was thrown forward. (Naeun: Yeoju!! Are you the only one in love!!!!)

이여주

Eww,,!!

Ugh,,

The female protagonist, who was taken by surprise without any preparation, desperately grabbed the male student's right arm.

이여주

..!;;

Tilting...

Bang!!

The male students were also unprepared.

The two fell to the floor together.

The female protagonist, who had fallen over and hit her head on the shoulder of the male student, felt her head dizzy.

뒷자리 남학생

Ouch!,, my shoulder,,,ㅡㅡ

강나은

!!oh

윤현주

her

하지예

oh..!

이여주

Ugh, it hurts

이여주

(But, my shoulder..

이여주

(It's seriously hard, does it only have bones? It looks like there's no fat...

As the female protagonist continued to bang her head against the male student's arm, unable to come to her senses, the male student hit her.

뒷자리 남학생

Hey..? Did you say Yeoju..?

뒷자리 남학생

Would you like to get up?

이여주

..sob

When the female protagonist did not respond, the male student rolled her to the side and pushed her away.

뒷자리 남학생

I fell too and it hurts too? ;;

The boy said, rubbing his shoulder.

이여주

,,,sorry.. are you okay?

As the heroine raised her head, her red forehead caught my eye. A lump had formed right in the center of her forehead, which looked like it would last forever.

뒷자리 남학생

Ugh,,,,ㅋㅋ

강나은

Haha ...

하지예

Hey, are you laughing when the kid is hurt??

윤현주

(I can't bear to look and lower my head..)

이여주

..?

이여주

??

이여주

Why are you laughing??

강나은

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋkookheeheehee you, your forehead is so cute ㅋㅋ

When Naeun couldn't come to her senses and started laughing, Yeoju felt uneasy and ran to her seat to pick up Hyunju's mirror.

Swish,,

The heroine in the mirror had messy hair and a red, swollen area in the center of her head, as if she had been hit hard with a stick.

이여주

…..

이여주

Eww!!,,,

이여주

ㅠㅠㅠㅠ How should I..

강나은

Ugh,,, lol

하지예

Hey, stop laughing

Jiye hit Naeun's back.

강나은

Haha ...

윤현주

(still can't raise my head)

뒷자리 남학생

;;

이여주

ㅠㅠ

뒷자리 남학생

hey,

The boy approached the female protagonist, who was lying on the desk with a sad expression on her face.

뒷자리 남학생

What did he say earlier?

이여주

,,huh?

When the female protagonist tilted her head as if she didn't know what was going on, the male student sighed and grabbed her wrist, leading her outside.

강나은

…

하지예

Oh!

윤현주

Chagall, what is he?

윤현주

I want to date too,,, ugh———- I want to date tooㅠㅠ

강나은

me too,,

하지예

I'm not sure, not yet?

Phew..!

하지예

Ah! Hey! Why are you leaving, Kang Na-eun!

강나은

I'm just upset,,

하지예

Hey! Am I your punching bag??

하지예

You're right too, you bitch!!

As Ji-ye and Na-eun started to fight, Hyun-ju took out her pad like a ghost and filmed it.

윤현주

Yaar~

강나은

Are you laughing??!

하지예

evil!!

윤현주

I'll play this later at your wedding^^

강나은

No!! I can't show this to my sexy husband!!

하지예

I don't care,

윤현주

lol

-

이여주

..why?

뒷자리 남학생

No, earlier...

뒷자리 남학생

What did you say before you fell?

뒷자리 남학생

So just,,

이여주

Oh, but you don't talk in class?

뒷자리 남학생

..// No, that,, the classroom is too noisy.. and your friends are a little.. burdensome(?)..

이여주

..(I guess so.. because I keep pushing him away;;

뒷자리 남학생

So, what were you trying to say earlier?

이여주

uh,,..

silence,,

이여주

name..

뒷자리 남학생

what?

이여주

,, I was curious about your name..

뒷자리 남학생

..

Again, static,,

이여주

Sorry, this is our first meeting, so...

뒷자리 남학생

..Beomgyu,

이여주

…!

최범규

Choi Beom-gyu, that's my name

이여주

,, thank you for telling me..

최범규

(Laughs) Is that something to be thankful for?? lol

이여주

I just caught it and it fell over..

이여주

I'm sorry,,

최범규

… I see

When Beomgyu glanced at the wrist that was caught by the female protagonist, it was only then that he realized that he was holding the female protagonist's wrist.

Swish,,

When Yeo-ju confirmed what Beom-gyu had seen and tried to pull his wrist away, Beom-gyu grabbed her wrist tighter and called out to her.

최범규

.. my lady

이여주

!,,,, Huh..?

이여주

(Why.. don't you take your hand off,,

최범규

You said you were sorry to me earlier.

이여주

Yeah, that's right

최범규

Are you still sorry?

이여주

(No..

이여주

I'm sorry, but then I'm not sorry??

When the female protagonist turned her eyes back to her wrist, Beomgyu grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

최범규

I'm talking,,

이여주

Ah, uh! Yeah, I won't look away, (It's close...;;

The heroine was slightly surprised, but when Beomgyu's lips twitched slightly, she became curious about what he was trying to say.

이여주

(Staring)

When the female protagonist looked at him intently, the tips of Beomgyu's ears turned red again.

최범규

If you're sorry, please do me a favor.

이여주

Please? What kind of favor?

최범규

..walk home from school with me

이여주

…What, is that all?

최범규

(…//) No, sorry, it's just that. We just met for the first time today^

이여주

So what? We're in the same class.

최범규

..friend?

Beomgyu's eyes grew bigger. He already had big eyes, but now that they're even bigger, he looks cute like a teddy bear.

이여주

Haha then who are your friends?

이여주

We exchanged names, fell asleep together, made eye contact... that's enough to be friends-

최범규

Is that so,,

이여주

Haha anyway, now that I'm done talking, let's go to class, let me loose ^_^

As the female protagonist raised her hand and waved, Beomgyu's arm, which was holding her wrist, also shook.

최범규

ah..;;

Beomgyu quickly removed his hand and gave Yeoju an apologetic look.

최범규

Sorry, I just grabbed it to take it out.

최범규

Were you sick?

이여주

hmm..

As the heroine rolled up her blouse sleeves, her thin, white wrists were revealed. Faint red lines were visible on them.

이여주

Not really?

최범규

..(I think it will hurt,,,

이여주

The color is so pale, it doesn't hurt that much, just a pressure bandage? Something like that?

As Beomgyu couldn't take his eyes off her wrist, Yeoju added as if to reassure him.

최범규

okay,,

이여주

huh..

최범규

Should I go in?

이여주

Draw

The two entered the classroom together, and immediately after, the bell rang.

After school again

이여주

Yeah, you promised^^

이여주

Oh, did you enjoy the Bend audition?

최범규

Oh, uh..

이여주

What is a position?

최범규

etc.

이여주

Oh! That guitar is cool,,

최범규

(Is it cool?..,,//

Beomgyu's ears turned red. But Yeoju didn't seem to notice. She just took a picture of the mountain behind the school, saying it was pretty.

최범규

,,,Shall we go?

이여주

Yeah, right

The two passed the main gate while chatting about Dorindo.

I want to satisfy my selfish desires

I have a thought...

As I was writing, the amount increased

More is better... right??ㅎ
