Sugar in Americano
19. Retribution


The female protagonist, who had been saying those words inside her mind, shed tears for a while.

Was it out of relief?

That feeling must have been of a magnitude I couldn't even begin to fathom.

The heroine cried.

It was a terrifying roar.

I was worried that I might get exhausted if I continued like that.

I won't lay a hand on the female protagonist...

Silently... he watched over me.

My eyes were red, but I desperately tried not to shed any tears.

Because I don't want the heroine to have a harder time.

So the heroine cried herself to sleep,

That's how the first high school retreat, which was painful, ended.

And, the day after the retreat ended, early in the morning, I went to Yeonhwa High School, where Han Baek-woo and that ×××× went.


민윤기
Hey. Who is Han Baek-woo here?


한백우
Hey. Who are you?


민윤기
I don't know, just follow me.


한백우
What are you doing! Are you a student at our school?


민윤기
Shut up and follow me!!!!

반 애들
What the... Why are you taking Baekwoo? Who is he?? He's handsome? Why Han Baekwoo?? Do you have business with him? Han Baekwoo is a nice guy, so there's nothing to do? What the? He's really angry? Where is he going??


민윤기
Hey..why did you do that?


한백우
What am I? And who are you?


민윤기
Why did you do that to Seo Yeo-ju!!!!!!!


한백우
Ah~ That X? That two-timing??ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


한백우
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIs he your boyfriend?? ㅋㅋHaven't you heard the rumors? He's a bad guy~ You should be careful too~?


민윤기
Answer me. Why did you spread rumors like that?


한백우
Haha, honestly, it's annoying~~ What if you get rejected by XX?


한백우
If you've been together for a long time, you should make progress, right? That's how it is in most cases. If you endure for 1,000 days, you've endured a lot! What's a kiss? You've done everything else, right?

Unable to contain my boiling anger, I kicked my shin hard.


한백우
Ugh...


민윤기
XX, if you say something like that one more time, I'll kill you, you XX.

Even though I sat down, that XXX still looked at me with bloodshot eyes.


한백우
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋDid you hit me? What are you saying when you say XX as XX? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

"puck"

My foot was deeply embedded in Han Baek-woo's abdomen.


한백우
Ugh...this XXXX

When I was about to leave behind Han Baek-woo, who was crying,

"puck"

He stubbornly got back up and reached out his fist towards my face.

I avoided it, but it was too late and I only barely brushed past it.

I could taste the pungent taste of blood, as if my lip had burst, but I didn't care.

He just coldly sneered and kicked my shin again.

Han Baek-woo sat with his knees wrapped around him, groaning.


민윤기
Ha.. If you XXX X your mouth one more time, it won't end here.

I came out of the school gate like that.

The road back to school is tough.

I was angry at the same time.


민윤기
Ha... Seo Yeo-ju... It must have been hard... Did you come to school...

I was frustrated. I missed you.


민윤기
I miss Seo Yeo-ju...

I ran.

Continue to school.

I was out of breath, but I kept running.

I wanted to see Seo Yeo-ju.

I really wanted to see your smiling face... that bright smile.
