Chapter 93 – Chapter 93
Today, I was still on the way to the academy I didn’t want to go to.
Only today though. My heart felt much lighter when I thought that it would be enough if I endured for a very short time.
But even so, the steps were bound to be heavy.
Slowly, the school building came into view in front of me.
I was planning to leave quickly after unloading my luggage and saying my last goodbyes to the teachers, but I frowned at the occasional peek at the students.
Fortunately, there are not many children in the same class as Chaeyeon.
Ignoring the rumors, the A class kids who came to study at the academy were busy walking with earphones in their ears.
Instead, the girls who looked like Class B looked at Chaeyeon and whispered.
The girls, who looked like Class C, blatantly pointed at Chaeyeon and laughed.
Chae-yeon was offended and suppressed her tearful feelings as she entered the building.
“So…? It’s a pity.”
She went to the principal’s office first.
The teacher was not taken aback by Chae-yeon’s sudden notification, as if her mother had already contacted her, and she just said with her face full of regret.
Is there something she doesn’t like and wants to quit?
She asked her if there were any problems or improvements she had to make, but Chaeyeon smiled and shook her head.
There were really no problems with the academy.
Even though she made up her mind to study, she couldn’t study, so Chae-yeon lay down on her desk. She didn’t bother to wake her up and blow up her valuable class time to the detriment of her other kids.
In the first place, there were a lot of kids sleeping in her C class, not Chaeyeon.
Anyway, she just didn’t think it was bad, even though her mother’s large sum of money had turned meaningless.
Even if I tried to force her to study, would she have done it right?
Did she not give up quickly no matter what?
So Chae-yeon brushed off everything she didn’t have and only talked about the good things.
Only then did the teacher smile and let Chaeyeon go.
She left the office and walked down the hallway.
Although it was a short time, she smiled forlornly as she lost in the nostalgia of her memories.
She made it past the kids wrapped in thick padding, and when she finally reached class C, she found it difficult to get in.
Class starts at 9:00. The time when the kids gather in earnest is roughly 30 minutes before 8:30.
On the other hand, the short hand now only pointed at 8 o’clock, so it was clear that there were probably not many children in the classroom.
Even if there were, there would be only one or two, but because of those two, I couldn’t move forward.
For a while she stood in front of the door, hesitantly, when she noticed someone walking down the hall.
Unexpectedly, knowing that someone was a child from Class C, I closed my eyes and opened the door.
I’m sorry.
It’s a quiet and quiet academy with no people yet, so today the sound of opening the door was loud.
I expected it just in case, but there were still a few kids in the classroom.
The kids laughed and chatted with each other, but as soon as they found Chae-yeon, their lips, which had been constantly moving, hardened.
Her gaze turned to Chaeyeon, who had just entered.
Her heart skipped a beat at the familiar yet unpleasant gaze.
Chaeyeon took a deep breath in and exhaled.
This made her feel a little better, so she moved on her steps again.
However, this step had to stop soon.
That would be too.
“I’m… Asleep…?
It was because someone was sitting in Chaeyeon’s seat.
Classes A and B compete fiercely from the morning because they want to sit in the front seats, which are a good environment for studying. The concept of Iran was born.
Moreover, her seat is not simply the front seat.
She was in the second seat from the front, but she dared to take Chaeyeon’s seat, which made her wonder.
But since Chaeyeon won’t visit the academy again after today, she seemed to have nothing to do with it.
She just says she’ll go and get some stuff out of the drawer for the boy who’s now occupying the spot.
By the way… By the way. By the time she was slowly approaching, she resumed her stopped steps. Although she was familiar with something, she tilted her head at the sight of her back, which she had never seen before.
For some reason, her heart warmed and relief came.
My heart pounded in a different way than before, and my cheeks faintly flushed red.
Step faster and faster.
By the time she reached the spot right next to her, she knew at once who the boy sitting in her seat was.
The man whose muscles built up through steady exercise are peeking through the thick padding.
“Jihoon-ah…!”
It was none other than Lee Ji-hoon, her beloved boyfriend.

“How have you been doing?”
You. How. Why. For what reason etc.
Chaeyeon stared blankly at me, who was sitting in her seat, with her face full of questions.
Two weeks is long if it’s long, and if it’s short, it’s only for a short time.
If anyone saw it, we could be mistaken as if we had been apart for a long time without any contact.
But it’s also so cute.
Father with a dumb face. She doesn’t know what to do.
I got up from my seat and gently hugged Chaeyeon.
He was wearing thick padding, but even that felt too small.
Farr.
I wondered if Chae-yeon’s body was shaking in my arms, and then she sobbed.
Was this enough?
Her grades were so poor that she had to go to an academy.
She was determined to improve her grades by studying hard wherever she went, so she deliberately finished her work quickly and returned to prepare for this event.
As soon as I came back, I was going to meet girls one after another, including Nayoung, who would have been waiting for me, and finally, I was going to go to an academy with Chaeyeon for the rest of winter vacation.
I didn’t know when she would come, so I arrived at the classroom ahead of time, checked each drawer of her desk, sat in Chaeyeon’s seat, and waited for her to come. I was glad that it wasn’t useless.
But the reaction was so much more than I expected, so I was rather embarrassed.
If it were Chaeyeon, she wasn’t the type to cry weakly in her arms, even if she smiled brightly and made a fuss about her.
‘What’s up?’
If so, only one.
I could guess what had happened.
I gently opened my eyes and looked around.
I could find class C students slowly filling the classroom where I was alone.
They were busy talking and looking at us.
Even though Chae-yeon is pretty, she is the center of the crowd because she is so pretty, and there is nothing strange about going up and down the crowd, but something subtly suspicious.
That’s because the words that didn’t fit the situation were being heard.
‘Mop? Prostitute? You say you don’t know about meeting conditions?’
What’s this.
I couldn’t help but feel bad when I started to hear these words not once, but several times.
I tried to control my impulsive mind that wanted to ask what I said just now because my anger was rising like crazy, and I decided to focus on Chaeyeon for now.
Still holding her in my arms, I carefully stroked her hair as she shed tears and waited for her to calm down.
10 minutes 20 minutes. Even if an hour of her time had passed, I intended to stay in her place and give her arms to her.
Chaeyeon, who calmed down faster than expected, glanced at her eyes.
“Have you calmed down?”
“Huh…”
When asked to confirm, he smiled and nodded her head.
Questions I’ve heard before here.
I wanted to ask why the words prostitute, slut, and meeting conditions came out of their mouths, but I swallowed back the words that came out right in front of my throat.
Chaeyeon will tell you later, and she smiled as well.
“What’s going on here…?”
Chaeyeon, who was still whimpering with a lingering aftertaste, threw her question.
“I’m going to go to an academy with you.”
“Isn’t there a need to go…?”
“To be honest, I don’t.”
No matter how great he was, it didn’t make sense to fall behind others when there was more than twice the age difference.
Above all, I was already stigmatized as an image of being good at studying, along with a smartphone that could give me information about the future, so I was studying hard separately.
That’s why you don’t have to come to the academy.
“I still want to go out with you.”
“Swimming…”
The reason is just that.
For obvious reasons, Chaeyeon laughed again.
“Ah…! Hold on…!”
Then, with a fuss, she pulled her smart phone out of her pocket as if she had remembered something.
Then she starts calling her somewhere.
“Ah. Mom! I won’t quit the academy and will keep going! Yes. Yes. It’s okay. It’s okay. Everything will be solved… No, everything will be solved. Yes…! Okay! Yes!”
Pop.
The short, intense call came to an end.
I won’t quit school and I’ll keep going. Were you thinking of quitting?
Then, more and more weight was put on what had happened.
“Chae Yeon-ah. What happened?”
“…”
The situation must be serious considering that she always tried to show a bright and positive side, but she couldn’t stand it.
He kept his mouth shut at my question.
“Chae Yeon-ah.”
When I called her again, her heavy lips fell.
The words that came out of her mouth were shocking.
