Chapter 136 – Shin Eun-Ah
“…”
Even today, Shin Eun-ah remained in her student council room, silently doing what the teacher had to do.
However, the concentration was not zero today.
No, it had to be.
He must be the only one in the student council room where there should be only one person other than himself.
Because Lee Ji-hoon was there.
She tried to ignore it and focus on her work, but in the end, she put down her pen because she couldn’t do it.
“Aren’t you going home? Nayoung?”
“Nayoung went out with her friends and I’m alone.”
“Then what about the house?”
“My parents are late, so I can leave late.”
So, I’m thinking of going home for a while. She said that she would not leave the student council room.
Shin Eun-ah let out a deep sigh.
“Ah. If you want to send it home quickly, please share it with me too.”
“…”
He shamelessly tried to get Shin Eun-ah to share the work she was doing.
I want to handle it alone as much as possible.
And it was a job she received because of her teachers’ trust because she worked hard at school.
In a way, it can be said that it is self-employed…? Situation.
That’s why she wanted to solve it properly by herself without giving it to others.
“No…”
If she gave it to Jihoon and something went wrong with her, she would take full responsibility for her.
After all, what she entrusted to her is to become her.
The fault of teachers who make students do this in the first place is huge.
“Then I’ll be here too.”
“…”
There seemed to be no option to just go.
I have to finish all of this within today, but since Ji-hoon can’t think of going home, I wonder if she can finish it within today. A question came in.
It means that just by sitting still without saying anything, Ji-hoon cares enough to not be able to work.
Lee Ji-hoon is fresh as if he doesn’t know this kind of heart. He was showing a nice smile.
I don’t know why you’re doing that
She has a very pretty girlfriend named Nayoung, but she doesn’t look like a human being, so that’s the reason why she acts like that to a woman like herself.
Shin Eun-ah shook her head to clear her thoughts.
She tried hard, she ignored Lee Ji-hoon and started working again, but it wasn’t long.
“Ha…”
He let out her breath without holding back.
She raised her head and opened her mouth to Lee Ji-hoon, who was looking at the smartphone screen.
“Is there anything you want to say to me?”
“Yes?”
“If there’s anything you want to say, tell me now.”
There must be a reason why you’re doing that. Concluding, she decided to have a conversation.
“What… Are you talking about?”
Lee Ji-hoon asked with an expression that he really didn’t know.
Was he really just trying to help?
Unbelievable.
Because so far there have been very few people like that.
Even so, there was no doubt that he had already become very close with Shin Eun-ah, but since it was the first time he had shown such an informal favor to someone he was not so close to, like Lee Ji-hoon, it was bound to be suspicious.
“Is there any reason?”
“Need a reason to help?”
It is.
If you feel like helping, you help, but you don’t need a reason.
However, Shin Eun-ah had only received help for a reason, so she could not believe everything.
It was only natural that she had lived in a harsh world to the extent that she had to work for two of her people with a salary that was less than her minimum wage, even for an orphan who had no parents.
“…”
She couldn’t think of anything to refute, so Shin Eun-ah frowned at her and looked away from her.
She picked up her pen, deciding to finish what she was doing earlier.
Wait a minute don’t say that Thinking she would fall apart someday, she tried to finish the job somehow.
Despite all her efforts, she couldn’t finish her work today, and she left school to work in a restaurant.
*
“…”
Next day. Except for all the school days and the kids who have to sleep, she has all left school.
Today, as always, Lee Ji-hoon was in front of Shin Eun-ah, who was sitting in her student council room.
Now… I feel like I’m going to get angry.
However, Shin Eun-ah did her best by treating him as someone who didn’t have one.
Even if it was three days, a week, or the next week, I visited the student council room where Shin Eun-ah was.
No, the kid has a girlfriend, but the two of them go somewhere to play or not?
How could she come two weeks in a row?
Shin Eun-ah stared blankly at Lee Ji-hoon as she was speechless.
Sensing her gaze, he responded with a smile.
“Yeah… I lost. Do as you please.”
She handed over her work in desperation.
“Thank you.”
She said thank you for the job and raised her pen.
Shin Eun-ah thought.
That work has increased.
She sighed as she thought of sending her home and remaining alone once she had done what she was told to do.
Still, it’s unavoidable.
This is also self-employed.
Being bitten by her leech named Lee Ji-hoon felt like her own mistake.
But.
“Ah…?”
The two of us did it quickly.
I sent Lee Ji-hoon first and confirmed what he did, but Shin Eun-ah couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
That’s what he did.
“Well… You did? Better than me?”
It was that she did a lot better than she did.
As a child who only studied, she was inevitably weak in practice.
I’ve never done it, so it’s natural.
However, Lee Ji-hoon must have mastered the actual battle, so it was so perfect that Shin Eun-ah looked shabby.
To the point where I still want to get help.
“No… It’s my job.”
She shook her head and closed her heart.
It was only that he had been having trouble with him for two weeks, but it was clear that if Shin Eun-ah continued to hold onto him and not let go, he would hate her later.
So I decided to give him a job if he comes tomorrow, and do it all by himself if he doesn’t.
A look of sadness settled on her face.
*
The sun rose in the dark sky, and as if it was going to get dark again, the bright sun began to disappear.
“Sleep.”
“…”
As it is natural now, I was left alone while working.
Her door slammed open and Lee Ji-hoon came in and handed her her banana milk with a straw.
“Thank you…”
Her eyes, which were accustomed to receiving banana milk and drinking it through a straw, turned to Lee Ji-hoon.
He casually took a seat right next to her and began taking her work, which she was doing.
“Hmm…”
Grabbing the pen next to her and turning it around, she began to think about it, and soon, she began tapping the keyboard on her laptop.
“Is there anything you don’t know…?”
“No. There’s nothing I don’t know.
Shin Eun-ah nodded her head in agreement with Ji-hoon’s ability to handle things, which she couldn’t possibly see on the level of her children.
“Where. Give it to me.”
Curious as to what she had done, she took a look.
OK.
“Mmm… That’s right.”
It felt too difficult to write as a class material.
I don’t know for those who have studied a little bit, but if you’re not good at it or you’re in an intermediate position, it’s sure to feel difficult.
Nevertheless, Shin Eun-ah couldn’t help but admire her.
The content is a bit difficult, but the content of the class materials is enormous.
Is your dream to become a teacher?
“Here and… Here… I think we can subtract a little from here.”
“Here you go?”
“Yeah. That part doesn’t seem necessary.”
“Why? It must be important.”
“Important, but not necessary.”
Even though it’s actually an important part, I’ll do it when I go to college to go into detail.
It meant that I wasn’t at the level of doing it here and now, so it was enough to just go over it lightly.
“Hmm… Yes. I see.”
She doesn’t like it, but when I asked her to take it off, she reluctantly started taking it off.
“It’s a bit difficult here.”
When I pointed out the part that took time for even Shin Eun-ah to understand, she nodded and erased it.
Because of the small laptop screen, the two gradually grew closer.
Shin Eun-ah, who was pointing her finger as she approached the place where she needed correction, realized this belatedly.
It was as if she could hear the blatant sound of her own heart beating.
However, as if this sound could only be heard by Shin Eun-ah, Lee Ji-hoon’s eyes were only on the brightly lit laptop screen.
“…”
Shin Eun-ah stared blankly at his side face.
Even Han Sang-woo, who thought they had become quite close, felt burdened by Shin Eun-ah and kept her distance.
Even he, who is rumored to be good, says so, but Lee Ji-hoon is defenseless as if nothing happened.
Don’t you know
Or do you know, but don’t really care?
Whatever it was, I felt more at ease.
It was amazing that Lee Ji-hoon did his job without feeling burdened or concerned even after seeing Shin Eun-ah’s disgustingly hideous face.
And again. Every time I saw him, every time I thought about it, I felt strange.
It was a phenomenon that she couldn’t understand because she was experiencing this for the first time.
“Senpai… Senpai… Noona…! Eunah noona…!”
“Ugh, huh?!”
The word Eun-ah noona sparked her spirits.
“What is it? Where are you sick?”
“…!”
After hitting her bruise once, she put her hand to her forehead without hesitation with a worried expression, and Shin Eun-ah was greatly embarrassed.
All of her skin is the same, but because of her uniquely different skin, the number of people who put their hands on her face was really small enough to count on their hands.
Even Choi Soo-eun, whom she thought was the closest, brought her hand, saying that she was playing a prank on her, but she could feel a slight sense of rejection blooming on her face without realizing it.
Jihoon Lee didn’t feel anything like that.
It’s just full of pure goodwill.
“I don’t really have a fever… Huh? A sudden fever?”
Her face turned red and her body heated up.
She didn’t even understand why.
“Why don’t we just stop here for today and end it?”
“Yeah, yeah… Then.”
His voice trembled as if he had gone back to the past.
She hurriedly started to pack her things and then she ran out of the student council room as if she were running away.
I could hear Lee Ji-hoon’s voice from behind, but I didn’t care.
