You're just a friend
8. Exterior



๊ถ์์
What, did you fight?

As Chaerin left, Sunyoung noticed and spoke.



์ด์งํ
No...I think my head hurts.


์ ์์ฐ
But, are you letting me go out alone?


๋ฌธ์คํ
Shouldn't we go out together?


์ด์งํ
If you're that worried, you guys should just leave. Why are you making me do it?

The children sighed at Jihoon's answer, and Soonyoung spoke in a low voice as if she was frustrated.



๊ถ์์
Hey, you like Kim Chae-rin.


์ด์งํ
M, what are you talking about?

Jihoon stuttered in embarrassment, and Wonwoo smiled and said, seeing Jihoon like that.


์ ์์ฐ
Oh, really? I like Chaerin, so you can help me out.

The children looked at Wonwoo in great surprise, and Jihoon was more surprised than Soonyoung and Junhwi.


์ ์์ฐ
I don't like it, so why are you surprised?


์ด์งํ
Hey, don't you know that even if you don't like this, it's surprising?



์ ์์ฐ
So will you help me?


์ด์งํ
That's...hey, we're just friends, so what can we do about dating...


์ ์์ฐ
If you like it, you do it, so what can you do?


๋ฌธ์คํ
Hey...are you serious?


์ ์์ฐ
Yeah, I'm serious.


๊ถ์์
Wow...no one knew.


์ ์์ฐ
What are you going to do?


์ด์งํ
...sorry


์ ์์ฐ
I like it.

Wonwoo smiled slightly.



์ด์งํ
uh?


์ ์์ฐ
I don't like Kim Chae-rin, I just looked at you.



๋ฌธ์คํ
Wow... Jeon Won-woo was a genius?


์ ์์ฐ
Do you get it now? lol

Jihoon stared blankly at Wonwoo.


์ ์์ฐ
Now that you know that you like Kim Chae-rim, confess to her and don't keep denying it.


์ด์งํ
...Kim Chae-rin doesn't like me, and she'll feel burdened if I confess.


๊ถ์์
Are you stupid? He likes you.



์ด์งํ
How would you know that...


๋ฌธ์คํ
Don't you know that his face and ears turn red whenever he sees you?


์ด์งํ
...


Jihoon didn't say anything.


๋ฌธ์คํ
We go first.


์ด์งํ
Huh? Let's go together,


๊ถ์์
Go talk to Kim Chae-rin.


์ด์งํ
Okay, it must have been a mistake.


๋ฌธ์คํ
Are you really that stupid?


์ด์งํ
I don't know, my head hurts too.


"Drrrrr"

As I opened the door and came out, I looked at Chaerin, who was leaning against the wall, in surprise.


๊น์ฑ๋ฆฐ
Are you going?


๊ถ์์
Yeah...I have to prepare for class.


๋ฌธ์คํ
Come quickly when you're feeling better.


์ ์์ฐ
Don't be a slacker.


๊น์ฑ๋ฆฐ
Yeah, Lee Ji-hoon is inside.

As Chaerin spoke and looked toward the door, her eyes met with Jihoon's.


๊น์ฑ๋ฆฐ
Are you going too?



์ด์งํ
Yeah, I'm not sick, but I shouldn't be complaining.


๊น์ฑ๋ฆฐ
Okay... Okay, see you all later.


์ด์งํ
huh.

๊ถ์์
Hey, can I not be with Kim Chae-rin?


์ด์งํ
Yeah...it's okay.

Jun-hwi looked at Ji-hoon and said, โJi-hoon must be frustrated.โ


๋ฌธ์คํ
Hey, if you like me, confess, you're so annoying. Can't you see that he likes you too?
