Chapter 384 – 69. Festival (6)
.
“Hey, do you want to try it in the health room? All three of you and me?”
… Even if we are in the same class.
Even if it’s right behind Yozora.
My name is Lee Ji-yoon, and my name is Yozo,
How can we keep thinking the same thing?
“No. The risk of getting caught is too great.”
“You’re saying you won’t get caught? Would anyone come to the health room at this hour?”
“That’s… Whew…”
Between the sounds of singing coming from an outdoor performance hall a little distance away.
At first, Lee Ji-yoon brought me and Lee Ha-yoon here, saying she had something to talk about, but as soon as she got out of the crowd, Lee Ji-yoon started whispering nonsense.
When she was speechless for a moment while trying to answer her in detail, Jiyoon Lee, who was crossing her arms under her chest, smiled vaguely.
It’s a topic that I don’t usually laugh at, especially at times like this.
Looking at this, it was clear that she and Lee Ha-yoon were her sisters, but apart from that, she had no intention of being helplessly dragged around by him.
To be honest, I’m not doing this because it’s dangerous.
As Lee Ji-yoon said, ‘Who is coming to the health room right now?’ I agree with that part to some extent.
Besides, I’ve already had enough experience in a busy health room to worry about such things.
Even stories related to risk are ultimately stories that are resolved if you don’t get caught.
But still, the reason why she can’t nod her head willingly.
Just like when I heard similar words from Yozora earlier.
“The main building must be locked now. How do you open it?”
“If you call the control room and say you left something in the health room, they will open it. You are a teacher, not a student. They won’t bother following you.”
“Then let’s say it’s opened. If there’s no news for a long time, they’ll be suspicious, right?”
“Hmm… Rather than saying I left something behind, wouldn’t it be okay to say it was something that would take some time? For example, maybe I forgot something I had to do because of the festival?”
“… Even if I get in, how are you and my sister going to get in?”
“How do you get in? Except when patrolling, everyone just clicks and opens the door from afar, right? Even if I go in with you, they won’t know, right?”
“When the health room light is on, people passing by in front of the main building are strange…”
“I guess I can just turn off the lights. Okay, solved.”
“…”
“Is there anything else on your mind?”
There were various reasons.
Because there is no sign of giving up at all.
With a sigh, I scratched the back of her neck and asked.
“Do I really have to do it in the health room?”
“Not necessarily, but… Isn’t it lame? Hiding something extraordinary that only we know about in everyday life.”
“… Crazy bitch.”
“Why? I don’t hate you either, so just listen quietly.”
“Oh, no… I just… That’s…”
“If I don’t like it… I have no choice but to do it alone—”
“… Well, over there…”
“…”
“…”
“… Turn off the light. Just for a moment…”
What I was able to get in the end.
Why did Lee Ji-yoon do something like that in the PC room yesterday without Lee Ha-yoon’s knowledge?
I just reaffirmed my true feelings, which were a little obvious.
384
Walking without making a sound was simple even with shoes on.
These legs are what I train every day, so there’s no way I can’t even do something so easy.
However, it is impossible to narrow the distance further than this.
Because it’s a tense situation, there’s a small chance you could make a mistake, and you could accidentally get your hair caught. Or maybe you can feel the gaze.
So I think this would be good.
While I was following the three people from afar, I hid under a tree next to the building and caught my breath for a moment.
This is because, as we move away from the noisy center of the festival, the surroundings become quietly quiet.
Of course, the sound of loud music coming from afar did not disappear, but considering that the sound of grass insects that had never been seen before began to be heard, there would be no harm in being careful.
“…”
Looking at the direction from earlier, it seems that the destination is the main building.
If we had turned in a different direction, we could have headed to a convenience store or sparring hall, but if we keep going like this, there’s nowhere else to go but the main building.
But really for what?
No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense, but is this foolish delusion that keeps coming back to me true?
It took a while to change my clothes due to the chilly wind of the summer night.
As the three people turned sideways and disappeared along the road, I lowered my posture and quickly followed behind them.
I didn’t forget to look around to see if there were any eyes.
To be honest, it’s not because it’s something that should never be caught, but because it’s embarrassing to be followed.
Anyway.
Because this is important too.
“… Phone?”
Behind the street trees again.
When I stuck my head out so that only my eyes could be seen, I saw Seo Woo Jin approaching the front door and putting his cell phone to his ear.
Anyone can see that he is making a phone call. What is the reason? .
Fortunately, it took less than a few seconds to figure out the reason.
This is because Ji-yoon, who was waiting in front of the front door with both hands in her pockets, pulled the door handle as soon as Seo Woo-jin finished talking.
Come to think of it, all the doors to the building were locked at this time.
Since she doesn’t come to the academy at this time, I completely forgot about it.
Then, of course, the person Seo Woo Jin contacted was the person who manages the building.
I wonder if the door was opened remotely somehow.
Especially for Seo Woo-jin, since she is a health teacher, she would have been able to get permission more easily than a student. Mmmm.
“… First of all, all three went in.”
Where did it really go?
The thing that immediately comes to mind is the health room…
Anyway, I clearly witnessed the three entering the building with my own eyes, so I feel like I need to find out what their purpose is before I can feel at ease.
For a moment, I furrowed my eyebrows as the nauseating delusion became more and more clear.
After confirming that enough time had passed, I approached the main entrance of the main building just like the three people did a little while ago.
Is it because I see it always open? Looking at the transparent glass door that was tightly closed, I felt a little awkward.
Moreover, when you try to open the door, all it does is lock and rattle.
I wondered if the door was being pulled rather than pushed, so I tried the opposite, but it still didn’t open.
From what I can see, it looks like it gives the device a chance to open once, and then as soon as it closes, the lock is activated again.
Well, I see this kind of thing sometimes in other places too, so I guess that’s the case…
Is this the end?
Will the relationship between the three fall into a labyrinth again?
Or call your friends and go to the security office? Let’s get a phone number from the same place.
I was staying far away again for fear of running into the three people at the front gate.
“Now that I think about it, the window toward the health room is…”
Wasn’t it all just short grass and a few trees?
Memories of what I had seen before flashed through my mind, and I walked straight along the outer wall of the building to where the health room might be.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the three people will come to the health room,
Because there was nothing else I could do other than this.
All you have to do is try a few high-probability gambles.
Accordingly, it was just after I silently, truly silently approached the window of what was presumed to be the health room.
“… Huh?”
Inside the window, I began to feel subtle signs of human presence.
“…”
I can hear something.
But it wasn’t easy to determine exactly what it was.
Is the soundproofing good? This is the reason that comes to mind, but I don’t know the exact reason.
Maybe I’m just not making as much noise as possible.
Right next to the window. I was clinging close to the outer wall, so I slightly moved away from the wall to check the condition of the window.
Luckily, I was able to see that one of the front windows was unlocked, but oops! And when I touched this, there were too many things to consider.
Seo Woo-jin or anyone else inside should not be looking at the window.
Even if you open it just a little bit and let the sound come out, it will definitely not work if you make a squeak, squeak, or rusty sound in the process.
If a sound is made while touching the window, the police who are secretly trying to eliminate a group of criminals will shout ‘Hey, put your hands up!’ It’s like shouting.
It did not seem to be an issue to be decided easily.
Maybe it would be good.
While I was squeezing out all the creativity in my head, I squinted and checked the window in the next compartment, and it was properly locked.
The same was true for the window beyond.
What? Why only here?
Did you ventilate it for a moment and then forget to lock it?
For now, I just remembered that it wasn’t locked and started focusing on other things.
Whatever the reason, I still couldn’t use this window.
What was also confirmed was that there were no curtains or blinds visible on any of the windows.
In this case, if you sneak a peek, as if you were a ghost, you might be lucky and not get caught.
Isn’t it? Is this a riskier action than carefully opening the window, as your face may be visible?
… It was a moment when I was thinking about things like that.
“…!”
Suddenly, someone pulled down the blinds from inside.
I held my breath, which was about to burst out from the startled wind, and pressed against the outer wall again.
That’s all I can do, but my heart is beating like it’s going to burst.
I can almost feel my heart swelling and pulsating.
When I confirmed that the faint footsteps coming from inside were getting farther away, I placed the back of my hand to my lips and carefully began to take a deep breath.
If I had tried to look around the window, I would have 100% been caught.
… I’m really glad. Really.
I endured it for ten years…
“Whoa…”
But thanks to closing the blinds, there is one less thing to worry about.
As long as there is no noise when you open the window, you can create a small gap without being noticed by the people inside.
Of course, if you stand in front of this, the moonlight will create a large shadow on the blinds.
It is OK to stick to the outside wall and eavesdrop like this.
After repeating this thought until my heart calmed down, I took another deep breath into the back of my hand and looked at the state of the window.
… First, it is quite clean.
Rather than saying it was well maintained, it just feels like a new model.
If so, the connections wouldn’t be rusty.
Won’t there be any strange noises?
Wouldn’t it be okay to push gently and slowly with your little finger and give up if it catches somewhere?
Anyway, as long as there is a space the size of a fingernail, you can hear everything inside, right?
“…”
So.
Just a little.
I’m just opening this as a trial…
“…”
… Ah, that’s enough…
…
…
… ?
“… Do you use this bed the most? Usually?”
“Uh, when waiting, we sit on it instead of a chair. Students with injured legs or joints sometimes lie down.”
“Then this place would be perfect. … You’ll keep thinking about it even when you’re working.”
“What?”
“What is it? Usually, at the students’ rest area…, … My sister and I also ate a lot. Don’t you remember?”
“Now, wait a minute. Jiyoon. You talk too much…”
“…”
… Ah?
