The reason why you are
39


So, Director Yoon handed me his business card.

Ji-seong tells Gwan-rin to meet him at the company after school.


윤지성(윤실장)
Guanlin, see you at work later.

I nodded a couple of times and the female protagonist opened her mouth next to me.


여주
Lee Gwan-rin, shall we go with the teacher later?

Guanlin chuckled, perhaps a little embarrassed about going alone.


이관린
I like it.

The female lead smiles and nods and goes out to see Director Yoon and Jaehwan off.

Gwan-rin and Dae-hwi also came out of the infirmary and started walking.


이대휘
Hey.. Lee Kwan-lin

Dae-hwi had been thinking deeply for a while.


이관린
why.

Gwan-rin looked at Dae-hwi, who had called him out and kept his mouth shut, and opened his mouth.


이관린
What the... What did I do wrong?


이대휘
no..


이대휘
Phew... Now that you're doing something, I'm worried about what I should do...


이관린
What the... why are you asking me that?


이대휘
Mr. Lee! That could be possible!!


이관린
Hey, but you're good at studying too.


이대휘
..however


이관린
..Didn't you study because you wanted to do something?


이대휘
..I...wasn't there..


이관린
Oh, you idiot.

Guanlin smiled and grabbed Daehwi, starting to mess with his hair.


이관린
He always says nice things to me, but he's a funny guy.


이대휘
Hey, you said it again!


이관린
Just think about it, I'm just starting now.


이관린
Is there any reason to be so serious?

Dae-hwi nods at those words


이관린
Smile, you have to smile.

Dae-hwi chuckled as he watched Guan-rin, who seemed to be a bit childish but spoke with a deep heart.


이대휘
Yeah, laugh, laugh.

As I was walking down the hallway, I came across Ji-Hoon, who was standing blankly in front of the bulletin board.


이관린
What do you see?

Gwan-rin put his arm around Ji-hoon's shoulder and asked.

Jihoon opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised.


박지훈
uh?

In front of him, Dae-hwi read the message posted on the bulletin board.


이대휘
Boxing youth competition?


이관린
What, you're coming?


이대휘
Really?


박지훈
Ah...it's been a while since I've exercised...


이대휘
Ah.. there's only a month left?


이관린
.. a month? Hey, get ready


박지훈
what?


이관린
What the heck, you should register at the gym starting today.


이대휘
Oh!! Yeah, even if a month is a little short, the more competitions you participate in, the better!!


박지훈
Hey hey no, no.


이관린
Hey, it says on your face that you want to do it, huh?


박지훈
...I'm still injured and haven't recovered yet


이관린
In a month, it will be hard to find out where you were hurt.


이관린
Roommate, follow me.

So, Gwan-rin started to walk, dragging Ji-hoon along excitedly.

Gwan-rin finds Yeo-ju, who went to meet Jae-hwan and Ji-seong earlier.

Guanlin, who laughs brightly and shouts loudly


이관린
Teacher Yeoju!!! Park Jihoon has something to say!!!

The official who pushed Ji-hoon in front of the female lead


박지훈
ah...


여주
What do you have to say??


박지훈
I... teacher...


여주
huh?


박지훈
I want to start exercising again.

Jihoon, whose eyes are welling up with tears, wonders why it's so hard to say those words.

The female protagonist nodded as if nothing had happened.


여주
Do it. If you want to do it, then do it.

The female protagonist stroked Ji-Hoon's head


여주
Now, live for yourself, Jihoon.

I thought I had never thought about living for myself

I guess it wasn't. The moment I heard those words, all the things I wanted to do came rushing back to me as if I had been longing for them.

Ji-hoon's expression changed as if he had made a promise while looking at the female lead, and he opened his mouth.



박지훈
Yes, I will.
