The violence of unrequited love.
Episode 30. Peace X Chaos 03

“Oh, shit. Can’t you stand straight? Your feet keep going down.”
Kim Yu-bin spoke, slapping my side with his heel. I braced myself not to slump. Then the bell rang. Only then did Kim Yu-bin lift his foot from my back, and only then was I able to return to my seat.
I returned to my seat and attended class. My back was aching, but I couldn't say anything. As I was listening, my eyes met Joo Yeon-ha's. For a moment, the corners of her mouth seemed to lift... It must have been my imagination.

“Class is over.”
After class, Kim Yu-bin called me again. I went to him, and he handed me three thousand won and told me to buy him coffee. Listening to him, I realized I should probably leave the school and head to Starbucks.
But if you go out of school without a pass, you'll get penalty points, so I told Kim Yu-bin.

“Then I have to go outside the school… That’s a bit…”
김유빈
"what?"
Kim Yu-bin, who was applying tint while crossing her legs, raised her eyes at my words. I couldn't say anything to that look in her eyes and left the classroom.
As I was leaving the classroom and heading down to the first floor to buy a copy, I ran into Byun Baekhyun. He looked exhausted, perhaps from the hard work of the student council. Then, perhaps noticing me, he smiled faintly. I forced a smile at Byun Baekhyun, his lips curling into a smile.

“Where are you going??”

“Ah… the store!”

“Yeonbi… It’s really hard not being able to see you….”
조연비
"haha…."
선배
“Hey!! Baekhyun! Come here quickly!!”
변백현
“Let’s go! Senior!!... Yeonbi… Sorry… I’ll go first.”
While talking to Baekhyun Byun, I jumped up at my senior's words. After parting ways with Baekhyun Byun, I passed through the school gates and headed outside. I went to Starbucks and bought the coffee Kim Yubin had requested, then returned to school. It cost over three thousand won, and I even added my own money to the purchase, but I had no complaints.
I was just used to it. I tried to go back to class, but class had already started, and I knew I'd get in trouble if I went in, so I headed to the infirmary instead.
I kept the coffee warm, as I couldn't let it get cold, and sat down on the bed. As expected, the school nurse wasn't there again. I sat on the bed, mindless.
I can never tell Byun Baekhyun. I don't want to burden him. I just... think I can handle it on my own.

“Ah, teacher~~~????”
I was just sitting there blankly when the door to the infirmary opened and a familiar voice rang out. The voice called out to me, "Teacher," but when there was no answer, I felt relieved and went into the infirmary.
He went into the infirmary and lay down on the bed next to me. I opened the curtain slightly and saw Park Chanyeol lying there. I smiled and said, "It's Park Chanyeol."

“What are you doing??”
박찬열
“Eww!!! What the heck, you were there? If you were, you should have said something!! I was surprised!!!!”
조연비
“Hehehe, it was there from a while ago~”
박찬열
“Ha, really… my heart… but why are you here??”
조연비
"you??"
박찬열
“I’m… a dwarf?”
조연비
“Tsk tsk, I’m also a taddaeng….”
Talking to Park Chanyeol, I couldn't help but smile. It was comfortable. Friends are truly amazing. How can they make me feel so comfortable? Park Chanyeol was just laughing at my words, but then suddenly frowned. Then he pointed to my cheek and said.
박찬열
“What is this??”
조연비
"ah…."
My cheeks were red from being slapped by a girl who was hanging out with Kim Yu-bin before we left school.
In front of Baekhyun, I covered my face with my hair, but when I was with Chanyeol, I felt comfortable and pushed my hair back, and Chanyeol noticed it right away. Chanyeol got up, brought some medicine, and applied it to my cheek.
박찬열
“What kind of year is this? Does Baekhyun know about this??”
조연비
"no…."
박찬열
“Are you a foolish bear?!! Just tell Baekhyun Byun!! If you just tell him, everything will be solved….”
조연비
“I just… don’t want to burden you. You look like you’re having a hard time already…”
박찬열
"Huh, don't get involved with someone who doesn't care about the pain of someone they love, even if it means they're having a hard time. And the Baekhyun I know would never ignore the pain of someone they love."
조연비
"still…."
박찬열
"If that's how you feel, I won't force you anymore... But if you can't tell Baekhyun, tell me. I can help you as a friend. I can even curse those bitches. So don't carry all your pain alone. That's a really bad habit."
I was grateful for Park Chanyeol's words. I smiled, but tears welled up in my eyes because it was the first time anyone had ever said something like that to me. Park Chanyeol was taken aback by my tears and hugged me tightly. I found myself relying on Park Chanyeol again.
