The reason why you are
35


Time rolled on just fine with Jihoon and the school we returned to, as if nothing had happened.

I was a little bothered by the whispering students, but time passed without incident.

That day, baseless rumors about Yeoju spread, and as they were passed from mouth to mouth, they became exaggerated.


황민현(양호쌤)
What? The school chairman?


다니엘
..No, I heard she's the chairman's daughter?


여주
Who?


황민현(양호쌤)
Who else but you.


여주
Hmm... the school chairman? The rumors don't live up to reality.


다니엘
I guess... if people found out she's the daughter of a group chairman...


여주
Well... then should I quit...?

The atmosphere calmed down at Yeoju's words

Thinking that she must be carrying a heavy burden because she comes from a family where everything they do becomes a topic of discussion, Minhyun patted Yeoju on the back and spoke.


황민현(양호쌤)
Class or A.

Yeoju, who was about to leave after smirking at Jihoon, stopped in her tracks at his expression.


여주
why?


박지훈
Just now... a group...? Teacher... are they a chaebol??

Ah... I forgot Jihoon was here.

I finally burst out laughing at Daniel's awkward expression.


여주
Is that surprising?


황민현(양호쌤)
Right, it's more surprising that the teacher took the students and skipped class.


다니엘
Jihoon, you know it's a secret, right?


박지훈
No... did the teachers know? Wait, how are you close?

The female lead thinking at the sound... Ah, seriously, when did we become close?


황민현(양호쌤)
Since we were teacher and student... well, we saw each other often, so it just ended up like this.

Minhyun sorted things out and explained, and Yeoju fled the place as if running away.

Jihoon's questions continued in the infirmary after Yeoju left.


이대휘
Yai Kuanlin...!!


이대휘
Hey, stop for a moment!!

Guanlin looked extremely angry, as if he still hadn't gotten over his earlier frustration.


이관린
I should have just beaten that bastard half to death..


이대휘
Why go to such lengths...


이관린
Because he keeps saying "son, son" like that!!!

As Guanlin suddenly screamed, Daehwi raised his hand and covered Guanlin's eyes.


이관린
What are you doing?


이대휘
You can't see anything right now, can you?


이관린
Hey, get down, you punk!


이대휘
Don't get worked up. You can get angry a little later, too. You can do that once you've calmed down a bit.


이대휘
Don't get worked up for no reason and make the kids uncomfortable.


이관린
What did I do!!!


이대휘
You idiot for shouting so loudly!!

Daehwi is right. Nothing will change.


이관린
Yeah, screaming like this won't change anything. Where's that bastard? I'm going to beat him to death.


이대휘
Aww, hey!! Lee Kwan-lin!!!

In the end, Daehwi kept hitting Guanlin's back.

I was only able to quiet down after coming face-to-face with Jihun as he came out of the infirmary.


이대휘
Why is he so spaced out?


이관린
Did you hurt your head?


박지훈
Ah... no...


이대휘
What's wrong? What's wrong with you?


박지훈
Ah... I found out a huge, unspeakable secret...


이관린
What is that?


박지훈
It's a secret...


이대휘
What the hell, acting like a lunatic... Yabak Jihoon, snap out of it.

The female protagonist passing by at that moment


여주
What are you doing here?


이관린
Ah, Teacher, you were cool earlier.


이대휘
that's right.

As Jihoon stared blankly at Yeoju, Yeoju looked at him and spoke.


여주
What's wrong? Park Ji-hoon


박지훈
I didn't say anything. Really.

Yeoju opened her mouth with a sigh as she looked at Jihun, who was staring blankly as if he had lost his mind, perhaps because he was quite shocked.


여주
If you keep your distance from me like this, I'll be hurt.


여주
Nothing will change. Just the teacher standing in front of you like this.

Jihoon nodded, as if the strange feeling he had had been experiencing was finally dissipating.

Next to him, Guanlin opened his mouth as if slightly jealous.


이관린
What's with this vibe?
