Chapter 151 – Second Semester (2)
Everyone, including me, had seen a case of actually skipping a grade for the first time, so Sooyeon, who was transferred to our class, instantly became the center of attention.
“Suyeon? Did you really skip a grade? Were your grades that good? What grade are you in?”
“If you’re a 2nd grader and can skip a grade to the 3rd grade, doesn’t that mean you’re better at studying than Yuri?”
“My younger brother is a 2nd grader… But I heard there was no name like that in the top 2nd graders, so how?”
“How do I skip a grade? Do I take a test?”
“But before, you always came to see Han Seong-jin, and surprisingly you didn’t even talk to me?”
Su-yeon looked at me for a moment when someone said something.
I gave a slight wink so that no one could see, as a way to explain it away, and Suyeon, who saw it, made an excuse.
“Ahaha… Yes, just a little…”
As Sooyeon hesitated, the boys approached me and asked about the situation.
“Hey, Han Seongjin. He always comes to see you during recess. Why does he look so awkward even though we were in the same class? Did you guys fight?”
“No, we didn’t fight… Something just happened.”
“What, did you break up?”
“Hey, stop asking about my personal life. Even if I ask, you won’t answer.”
“I guess we really had a fight?”
“Hey, I didn’t tell you to keep asking me questions about other people’s fights.”
Since I did not give a definite answer while leaving a reasonable amount of room for misunderstanding, the kids came to their own conclusions and concluded that we may have at least fought or, if worse, broken up.
And while those words were being exchanged, I saw Gong Young-bae, who was sitting in the front row, stop everything he was doing and listen attentively to what we were saying.
The boys returned to their respective seats, and the girls were still surrounding Suyeon, asking various questions during breaks.
The morning of the first day of the second semester passed quickly and became lunchtime.
We had already decided what we would eat before Gong Young-bae was finished, so I sat down with Yuri and Eun-ji and Su-yeon sat down to eat separately.
I wanted to have a meal with the four of us talking happily together right away, but since the problem of Gong Young-bae remained, we had no choice but to hold out for a little while until that was dealt with.
I felt that Suyeon and Eunji were looking at me like abandoned dogs from time to time, so I finished the meal thinking that I couldn’t let this go on for too long.
By the way.
“Han Seong-jin.”
“Huh?”
After finishing the meal, I was sitting for a moment when Gong Young-bae approached me and spoke to me first.
It’s refreshing because it’s the first time this guy talks to me first.
As soon as Yuri saw Gong Young-bae, she made a bug-bitten face and turned away.
Gong Young-bae looked at Yuri for just a moment and spoke to me again.
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
“With me? Uh, okay, of course. Yuri, go first. I’ll talk to you.”
“Yes.”
Yuri probably didn’t want to see Gong Young-bae’s face even for one more second. As soon as she heard what I said, she immediately got up from her seat and went to return the empty tray.
I followed along with Gong Young-bae, and the place we headed was the deserted rooftop of the academy.
A place where I sometimes called Gong Yeong-bae and talked to him.
Gong Young-bae, who had called me, was silent for a while, and in the end, I was the first to open the door.
“What is it? You said it as if you were going to talk about something important.”
“Uh… But you might get angry if you hear.”
“Hmm?”
Hey, look at this guy.
Are you trying to make something bold?
“… But I still feel like it’s something I need to say.”
“What do you mean? I don’t get angry as long as it’s not nonsense.”
“Okay, then…”
Gong Young-bae took a deep breath and brought up the business that called me.
“Han Seong-jin, who do you like better among Yuri, Su-yeon, and Eun-ji? Tell me.”
“… Hmm?”
It’s a very familiar question.
No, are you asking me that question? Not anyone else, but Gong Young-bae?
While I was puzzled, Gong Young-bae continued to say what he wanted to say.
“I happened to see Yumin’s sister’s SNS.”
What happened?
He must have been spying on people around me and Yuri all day long. Just trying to figure out a way to steal Yuri.
“Oh, that picture of the water park? Well, the kids said it was spread all over the internet.”
“That’s right. I’m friends with Yumin’s sister on social media, so I happened to see her… What on earth are you doing?”
“Oh, is it because of Jeong Eun-ji?”
I was still joking as if I knew that things were going well between Gong Young-bae and Jung Eun-ji.
Gong Young-bae shook his head at my words and spoke with a more stern expression and voice than before.
“It’s not because of Eunji. It’s Sooyeon.”
“Oh, Suyeon? Why Suyeon?”
“Don’t be pretentious. In the pictures of the water park posted there, Suyeon was the only one missing. They say Eunji’s presence was a coincidence, but doesn’t that explain Suyeon’s absence?”
“Get to the point, get to the point.”
“What on earth are you going to do? It seems like they have accepted the fact that Yuri and Suyeon are openly straddling the line, so even if that’s the case, isn’t it a bit like Yumin’s older sister? She’s Yuri’s older sister. And Suyeon is left out at the water park. Let’s go and see how much Suyeon is having a hard time.
If Yu-min has two girlfriends… Or three, including his older sister, and treats her differently and eliminates one of them like that, then what happens to Soo-yeon? Do you know how hard it is for him right now?”
The words are just like the Cheongsan River.
Do you know who the person who gave Sooyeon the most trouble was?
“Sooyeon… Is that so?”
“Do you know how much I complain about being so hurt because of you? You openly cross my legs and neglect Sooyeon, leaving her alone even when we go out to play. If you’re going to be like that in the first place… No, you’ve been hanging out with strange people for a long time. In the end, he even put Yuri in danger-“
“Yumma.”
I cut off Gong Young-bae.
No, the thing that put Yuri in danger was the mouth that opened while losing.
I was able to overlook the other things without much notice, but this one was a little scratchy.
“So what exactly do you want to say? Are you saying that Soo-yeon will take it away? Why didn’t you do anything when Soo-yeon was around, and now it’s all over the place? You said you were going to do a good job with Jung Eun-ji in the first place. So, I told you that there would be something to do with Yuri, so I gave you various advice. Are you going to come out like this?”
“You were the cause of that glass incident in the first place.”
No, you are the cause.
Because I was trying to sell Yuri.
If I had fainted after getting hit with a blow at that time, I don’t know what Yuri would have seen afterward.
“Ha… So what, Soo-yeon is going to take it away?”
“… That’s right. I can’t leave Suyeon alone with someone like you who doesn’t treat her with respect and is openly putting her in a lot of trouble. I will take Suyeon with her.”
If anyone hears that Su-yeon took advantage of Su-yeon’s feelings to make Yuri jealous and caused him irreparable harm, they would think that Su-yeon was really doing it for her.
When the opportunity came, I clearly declared to Gong Young-bae.
“Hey, Gong Young-bae.”
“What, what?”
“Think carefully. If you pull out a knife at someone, you have to be prepared to get stabbed. Are you going to take Sooyeon away? If you say that out loud, you know that no matter what I do to you, you have nothing to say, right?”
“… Think about it however you want. I would rather keep Suyeon next to me than have her continue to get hurt by staying next to you.”
“Really? This is your choice.”
Gong Yeong-bae, this bastard, I was wondering when he would get screwed, but if he started fighting with me like this, I would be even more grateful.
I turned my back on Gong Young-bae and came down from the rooftop first.
And while I was on my way down, I sent a message to the group chat room where Yuri, Suyeon, and Eunji were.
[Me]: I have been declared war
[Cute Slave Girlfriend Eunji♡] : ?
[Despicable gyaru girlfriend Suyeon♥]: Why a declaration of war?
[My First Girlfriend Yuri♡]: Did Gong Youngbae say that? Fighting?
[Me]: No, it’s not like that
I told them about the conversations that took place between me and Gong Young-bae.
Don’t let this story get out, and you three should pretend like you don’t know anything.
[Despicable Gyaru Girlfriend Suyeon♥] : Haha
After seeing that Gong Young-bae had said that she would take him away, Su-yeon continued to laugh.
[Me]: It’s all right. I was planning on finishing it in September, but since Ji started fighting, it won’t take long. I’m really sorry, but I hope Su-yeon and Eun-ji can hold on a little longer until then. Is that okay?
[Desirable Gyaru Girlfriend Suyeon♥]: When exactly? Gong Young-bae keeps texting me, so it’s a bit hard to look at him for a long time
[Cute Slave Girlfriend Eunji♡] : Did you try to force a kiss on me and then go straight to Choi Soo-yeon and make fun of her? People really…
[Me]: Let’s finish it during the preparation period for the launch ceremony. Yuri, when was the launch ceremony?
[My First Girlfriend Yuri♡]: Registration for October 17th begins a month in advance
[Me]: So, applications will be accepted from September 17th? We don’t have much time left, so let’s just wait until then. The basic reason is… Can Su-yeon hold the wind for a moment before registering for the Jinsu Festival? Eunji only made a gesture of reconciliation
[Cute slave girlfriend Eunji♡] : How?
[Me]: I’ll write it here
After that, I talked about what to do in a group chat room with the four of us.
And the period that initially didn’t last very long passed by in an instant until mid-September.
As the application for participation in the launch ceremony approaches, the end of the Gongyoung Cup also approaches.
