On Thursday, the April written exam, which lasted for four days, came to an end with
tests on social studies subjects.
"Han Seong-jin, how many points did you get? Forty points? Thirty points?"
"Well, I don't remember what I wrote for the answers, so the provisional score is
meaningless. But why do you keep talking as if you've already won?"
"Pfft, you don't want to be embarrassed, so you're trying to postpone it somehow?
Anyway, the tags will come out next week. Enjoy the last few days until the public
execution. The day the tags come out will be the day you drop out of school out of
shame."
Jeong Eun-ji smiled bitterly, confident of her victory. She took her bag and gym
clothes and left. Her exams were over, but she still had track and field, which was a
more important career path for her, so it looked like she was going to start practicing in
the afternoon.
A few minutes after Eun-ji Jeong left the classroom, Yu-ri Lee, who had finished
grading, came up to me and asked, "Did you do well on the test?"
"Yeah? I studied hard. So what are you going to give me as a reward?"
"You don't even know what your score is yet, but that's all you're interested in, right?"
"No, you're the one I'm interested in."
"Ugh... You're saying that again..."
"You don't like it?"
"...No."
Although Yu-ri Lee was embarrassed, she no longer hated or was reluctant to see me
behave like this. At that moment, Gong Young-bae in the row in front of me kept
changing his posture as if he was really worried.
I wanted to make Yu-ri sit on my lap to show off, but she's still too shy and won't do it
in front of other kids. Should we do that after we finish grading Yu-ri? Even though my
classmates were packing up their bags and going home one by one, Yu-ri Lee still
hadn't left my seat. I grinned when I saw Yu-ri Lee fidgeting and looking at me like a
puppy wanting something.
"Why are you still like this?"
"Hey, our exams are over, so today—"
"Sun-bae~♥ Is it still there? Oh, there it is!"
However, before Yu-ri Lee could say anything, an intruder appeared. The owner of a
blonde side ponytail, slightly tanned skin, and voluptuous breasts that bounced up
and down every time she moved. Soo-yeon Choi smiled at me and came toward me
waving her hand, and Yu-ri Lee's expression, on the other hand, became quite grim.
However, before Choi Su-yeon could approach her, Gong Young-bae stood up from
his seat and approached her first.
"Soo-yeon, the exam is over. Should we go out today for the first time in a while? You
said you were sick last time, so we went midway."
His voice seemed somewhat urgent. He may have already seen Choi Soo-yeon cling
to me, but Gong Young-bae seemed to believe that he still had a chance. Pathetic and
shameless. Wouldn't he faint if he knew how much Choi Soo-yeon and I have already
groped each other's bodies and how much our tongues have been intertwined?
...Yu-ri Lee would faint, too.
When Gong Young-bae suddenly jumped forward, Choi Su-yeon stopped walking for a
moment. And he smiled brightly at Gong Young-bae.
"I'm sorry, Sun-bae. I guess I have a prior engagement today. Hehe."
...
If there is a prior promise, it exists, but if it does not exist, it does not exist. The word
'likely to exist' was an impossible word. Nevertheless, Soo-yeon Choi rejected Gong
Young-bae's offer for such a strange and ridiculous reason. Choi Su-yeon had already
become Han Seong-jin's woman in her heart, and Gong Young-bae no longer had any
meaning to her. Choi Su-yeon had more lingering feelings for Gong Young-bae than Yu-
ri Lee, who still did not make eye contact with Gong Young-bae and did not speak with
him.
Her smile toward Gong Young-bae was not forced, nor was it a smile filled with malice
to screw him over. Because her feelings for him had completely died to the point
where she did not feel any resentment, anger, or even hatred, she was able to treat
him more normally than she could.
Choi Soo-yeon, who lightly rejected Gong Young-bae's offer, approached Han Seong-
jin and slightly sneered at her. Then she laid her chest on his desk and opened her
eyes brightly.
"Seong-jin, it's been a while since you have some time during the day. How are you
feeling? Do you want to go out and have lunch together?"
"Hey, I was talking first."
Immediately, Yu-ri Lee's check began again, but Choi Su-yeon smiled and looked
down at Yu-ri Lee with an open look of disdain.
"You weren't saying anything? So I brought it up first, so what's wrong?"
"Huh... Ha, Seong-jin Han! Do you want to go eat... With me?"
Han Seong-jin looked at the two for a moment and smiled before answering.
"They both want to have lunch with me, but I feel like if I go out to eat with just one of
them, the other one will be really hurt. It's quite difficult to choose. So, should we all
go together today? I finally got my paycheck. I have a lot of things to owe me today. I'll
buy lunch."
Neither Yu-ri Lee nor Choi Su-yeon liked the idea of each other accompanying them,
but they decided that it was better than being abandoned and nodded. And the next
moment, Han Seong-jin made a strange proposal that everyone didn't expect.
"Hey, Gong Young-bae, you were talking about something with Soo-yeon earlier. Are
you going too? If you want to go, I'll let you go. Instead, you pay for what's yours. How
about that?"
"?!"
Not only Yu-ri Lee and Choi Su-yeon, but even Gong Young-bae himself looked quite
surprised by my suggestion.
"Hey, Han Seong-jin!"
Surprised, Yu-ri Lee punched me, but it was already too late.
"I-I... Want you to come too?"
"I'm not saying you have to come unconditionally. If you want to come."
Gong Young-bae thought for a while and then answered in a hushed voice.
"...I'll go."
Baby, you have no pride.
Yu-ri pinched her arm with a scary expression, and I gently winked at her to calm her
down. Yu-ri Lee whispered in a low voice.
"Hey, why are you doing this when you know that Gong Young-bae and I fought?!"
"You've seen that bastard keep clinging to his regrets and not letting go of them.
Rather than bothering you like this every time, I think it would be better to just hang
out with him for a day and make you stop bothering him. I'm sorry for making the
decision on my own."
Of course, I didn't prepare this just for Gong Young-bae. What I want is Yu-ri Lee. I felt a
clear difference in the attitudes of Choi Su-yeon and Yu-ri Lee towards Gong Young-
bae. Even though Choi Soo-yeon suffered such a dirty situation, her relationship with
Gong Young-bae was still good.
Like now, I didn't avoid talking to people, and I was able to have normal conversations.
Not because she still likes Gong Young-bae, but because she was quite the opposite.
However, Yu-ri Lee still couldn't hide her anger at Gong Young-bae, and when he
came, she blatantly turned away or avoided his gaze.
Almost all barriers to her feelings for me have already been broken, and we have
become quite intimate with each other, but the lingering feelings that remain in her
heart have not yet disappeared. Unlike Choi Soo-yeon, whose affection had
completely evaporated and there was nothing left, the ten-year childhood friend
relationship still remained in Yu-ri Lee's heart, so she was not sure about ending it like
Choi Soo-yeon.
Today, I planned to completely shake off even the slightest lingering regret that
remained in Yu-ri Lee's heart. By letting you know who will really like you and who is
superior as a male.
...
We ate at a restaurant in a downtown area near the subway station and then went to
the arcade.
"No, this place... It's a place where a lot of delinquents come..."
Gong Young-bae, who had never been to a place like this before, hesitated and
hesitated. But Yu-ri Lee, who had already become addicted to it, smiled brightly and
entered the arcade. In fact, it is a place where a lot of delinquent children come, but it
is not a hangout like the neighborhood near where I live. In fact, couples often come.
I slapped Gong Young-bae, who was trying to back out, on the back and pushed him
inside.
"Hey, what fun is it if you don't come to a place like this? Go and have some fun."
"Here? What fun is there in wasting time in a place like this?"
"Son, don't do that, just go over there and give it a try."
I sent Gong Young-bae up to the DDR board, and at almost the same time, Yu-ri Lee
also went up. When Yu-ri Lee saw that Gong Young-bae was standing next to her
instead of me, she turned her head to me with a shocked expression.
"You're not?"
"I'll do it after that game. They're playing first."
Before Yu-ri Lee could say anything, I put the coin in, and soon a song started flowing
out of it and countless arrows came pouring down. Yu-ri Lee was excitedly taking
steps as usual, jumping here and there, but Gong Young-bae...
"Huh? What is this? No, what's so funny about something like this..."
Gong Young-bae, who is full of prejudice against these types of entertainment
facilities and doesn't even like them, just didn't like it and played around with his feet
a few times before getting game over. Even though Yu-ri Lee was dancing next to him,
he just came down.
"What, are you dead already?"
"Uh, I don't know how to do it well, and it's not very fun... I don't understand kids who
like this kind of thing."
After hearing those words, Yu-ri Lee glared at Gong Young-bae with horror and missed
the arrow and died.
"Huh? Ah, lady..."
I was getting annoyed by Gong Young-bae who kept breaking the mood next to me, but
when the game was over, Yu-ri Lee came off the stage with an irritated sigh. Choi Su-
yeon and I were next in line, and the two of us played DDR while having fun taking
steps. Meanwhile, I heard Yu-ri Lee and Young-bae Gong talking from behind.
"Yu-ri, let's talk now. I was wrong—"
"You don't understand kids who like this kind of thing?"
Yu-ri Lee interrupted Gong Young-bae and asked in a low tone.
"Huh? No, the person wasting time in a place like this probably isn't okay."
"Oh, really? I'm sorry about that."
"...?"
Even if you saw Yu-ri stepping excitedly, you wouldn't notice, you idiot. Gong Young-
bae, I can hear it. The sound of even a handful of regrets in Yu-ri Lee's heart being
swept away. And when all those regrets are gone, Yu-ri Lee will be under my boat.
I think that time will come really soon.
