Chapter 67 – Restart (5)
Siu and I walking along the bank near the river.
There were several places like this because there were many ways to go back home.
Small events that can be felt in school life.
It felt good just walking on the banks of the river, which gave off a summer feeling.
“Ji-eun?”
“Why?”
“Do you have time this time?”
“What time?”
“Lol… “
Siu smiles shyly.
He took something out of his pocket.
“Movie tickets?”
“There is a new movie coming out, do you want to go see it together?”
Siwoo definitely received aggressiveness correction.
I didn’t know that he had heard that he wanted to go ahead and watch the movie.
Aggressiveness correction that helps you move a little more actively.
So, since Siwoo is a player, it sounds strange to say that aggressiveness is corrected, but
What I possessed now was Ji-eun, so it was quite right.
Anyway, thanks to this correction, Siwoo is asking me out on a date.
Unlike Siwoo in the first episode, he acted actively and somehow felt reliable.
Lee Ji-eun, who really rolled as she was supposed to in the first episode.
Of course, it’s acting, but because of Lee Ji-eun’s body, I was also affected and suffered quite a bit.
The first round ended so hazy.
I was worried that the 2nd episode wouldn’t be much different… Seeing Siwoo looking trustworthy now made me feel trustworthy.
If only he would act like this…
A happy ending was possible in the second episode.
Of course, Seolhayeon, which is activated due to aggressiveness correction, is a problem,
In her case, an active radar network was enough to block it in advance.
While I was thinking about that, Siwoo approached me.
He smiled and looked at me.
“Ji-eun?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I was thinking about the training schedule.”
“Will it be difficult?”
“When will I see you?”
“It’s this weekend.”
“I think it will be fine.”
Actually, I didn’t think about the schedule at all,
That said, Siu was talking, but he couldn’t say he wasn’t listening, so he covered it up.
Fortunately, Siwoo doesn’t ask deeply.
I put a movie ticket in my hand.
“Are you giving it already?”
“I think you will expect more if I give you this.”
“What?”
“Date.”
“… “
Definitely an active Siwoo.
Because of that… Unbeknownst to me, I felt something thump at his words.
Feeling ashamed as your heart races.
Without realizing it, I had no choice but to kick Siwoo’s leg.
“Ouch!”
“Mi… Sorry.”
The kick that went out without me knowing.
Unknowingly, I couldn’t control myself and hit Siwoo because of the unfamiliar feeling.
“Still strong… “
Siwoo strokes his leg as if it hurts.
I was sorry and didn’t know what to do.
“Are you okay. It doesn’t hurt that much.”
“Your face is completely red?”
“It’s really okay.”
Siwoo grits his teeth and says it’s okay.
I couldn’t help but smile while looking at him.
“Puhahaha.”
“What’s the point of laughing after hitting me?”
“Sorry sorry.”
“Cheese… “
“Instead… “
Lee Ji-eun slowly approached him.
She slowly kissed Shiu on the cheek.
“Is this okay?”
“… “
Then, Siwoo’s face became even redder.
Lee Ji-eun, not me, suddenly kissed him on the cheek, which made me embarrassed…
Still, I got better when I saw the system window popping up in front of me.
Favorability for Siwoo has increased by 15 (correction value +1).
-Siwoo looks at the author more amicably.
-When the friendship level reaches 30, there is a chance that he will confess.
-He is more active in skinship.
– There is a possibility that you don’t care about your surroundings in expressing your crush.
Siwoo achieved 15 likes all at once.
In the first round, it only rose by about 1 to 3 in the first quarter, but with the basic liking rating of 10, the liking increase of 2 to 4, which was changed to the 2nd round bonus, and the additional correction value, the liking rating rose by 5 at once.
So, despite being in the very beginning of the second playthrough, I quickly reached 15.
On top of that, when the affinity level is 30, there is even a chance that he will confess, so it is definitely easier to see a happy ending than in the first episode.
Originally, Siwoo confessed based on the standards of provincial competitions.
However, as each episode progresses, the starting point of confession becomes faster…
This time, luckily, the favorability went up by 5, and it felt like this starting point was faster.
“Why… Why are you not saying anything?”
Siwoo stands quietly behind Jieun Lee kissing him.
He kept stroking the cheek Lee Ji-eun kissed and staring blankly at me.
“Ah… Mi… Sorry. Sugar… Bewildered… Haha… Under.”
Siwoo from the 2nd episode still has the image of Siwoo from the 1st episode.
Because of that, he showed such an innocent appearance.
Surely… Siwoo changed.
Looking at him, I could dream of hope.
* * *
Again the next morning.
As the second round came around, I had to leave school today to see if the summer supplementary plan had changed.
It was a completely different situation from when I had a lot of free time to adapt to the game at the time of the first episode.
Certainly, since there were various advantages in the second playthrough, it seemed that this kind of compulsory event was newly created.
I sat in the back seat this time too.
Siwoo always sits next to me, so my classmates usually didn’t come to this place on purpose.
I was thinking about what to do after watching a movie tomorrow weekend with Siwoo while staring blankly at the window…
Suddenly, I felt someone beside me.
I thought it was Siwoo, so when I turned my head, it was not Siwoo, but KUHO, smiling shyly, trying to sit next to me.
“Jo Gu-ho?”
“Mi… Sorry. May I sit next to you?”
“Huh?”
When I turned my head, I saw that everyone was sitting in threes and threes.
As usual, the seat next to the otaku was empty, and there were a few seats left between the girls…
I couldn’t sit in that seat, so I tried to sit next to mine, which was a good place to sit.
Lee Ji-eun is also a female student, but since they are members of the same swimming team, they know each other, so Kuho apologized and asked for his understanding.
“That… Okay.”
“Thank you.”
KUHO sat down next to me like that.
No matter what happened today, Siwoo, who was late, came in last and had no choice but to sit next to the otaku.
“I know you usually sit with Siwoo… Sorry for sitting next to you.”
A slogan that speaks to me with an apologetic expression.
I waved my hand as if it was okay, thinking that his words were already in the past.
“No, it’s okay.”
I wanted the story to end like that…
A slogan that seems to have something to say to me.
Coincidentally, I was curious about why I met Deokbae Kim yesterday, so I was lucky.
“What did the teacher say yesterday?”
Then, the slogan that surprised me.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at me.
A slogan that made me look as if I was committing a sin.
I was about to start feeling something bad.
“That is… Could you please not tell the others?”
“What?”
“Actually… I am able to compete in this competition.”
“Really? Congratulations.”
“Lol… Thank you. But… As you know… “
A slogan that blurs words slightly.
From his words, I could roughly understand why he had a guilty look on his face.
Again, Lee Ji-eun, whom I possessed, was already at the national team level, so his qualification was confirmed.
On the other hand, Jo Gu-ho, who is in the middle to upper ranks, was not.
So, I was worried that there would be a problem if this confirmation was known to other students.
In this way, I was able to understand vaguely about Guho’s questionable behavior.
“Are you okay. I will keep my mouth shut until Kim Deok-bae announces it.”
“Thank you. Ji-eun.”
KUHO with a bright smile.
I understand why he behaves cautiously,
Still, I felt a strange, foreboding feeling.
This unknown feeling.
If it was my first time playing, I could remember the information about KUHO and know the identity of this feeling…
Unfortunately, I can’t remember any information about him.
As the days go by, I feel assimilated to Lee Ji-eun.
I was worried that I would lose myself.
The idea that I have to get out of this game somehow quickly.
I decided to focus more on the idea of getting out of the game rather than the information about the slogan I couldn’t remember.
While talking with Guho, the school gate opens.
The person who opened the school gate and entered was Kim Deok-bae, a physical education teacher who had arrived as usual.
As soon as Kim Deok-bae came in, his expression hardened.
And soon, when he saw the person who came in next to him, his complexion went from pale to pale.
“Isn’t that Kim Ji-ae?”
“You really are back.”
“There are rumors that Deokbae Kim… “
“But seeing the two of them come together now, the rumors must have been false.”
Stupid students.
Deokbae Kim stirred the air with hand movements as if he was annoyed, making everyone quiet.
“Okay, everybody calm down. As I said yesterday, Ji-ae is back. Everyone, give them a round of applause.”
Clap clap clap
Ji-ae had a rumor that she came back from the hospital like that.
Contrary to rumors, she was in very good shape and, contrary to rumors, seemed to have no problems with her.
Rumor has it that Kim Deok-bae suffered mentally because of sexual harassment and was devastated.
Rumors spread about her, such as that she had suicidal thoughts and harmed herself…
Looking at her clean arms and bright smile, she knew once again that rumors were certainly not to be believed.
After looking at everyone and smiling broadly, Ji-ae slightly bowed her head in gratitude for the applause.
Kim Deok-bae looked at Ji-ae indifferently and then looked inside her classroom.
At that time, my eyes met Deokbae Kim.
He gestured to Guho next to me.
“Jo Gu-ho. I’m sorry, but I need to change seats.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
A relief to pack such a burden.
Like I said yesterday, I couldn’t help it because I took on the role of helping Ji-ae adjust to school again.
Guho, who is carrying the luggage, and our eyes met for a moment…
In his eyes there was an indescribable sadness… There was a mixture of strange emotions.
Of course it’s just my opinion, but
Since I saw Ji-ae’s sudden change in expression from the moment he came in, I had some confidence in my thoughts.
Deokbae Kim, Guho Jo, and Jiae Kim.
There seems to be something between these three that I don’t know about…
At the moment, with the lack of information, there was nothing that I could get a feel for.
I wanted to ask in detail right next to you, but
I couldn’t ask because Kuho had moved to a seat next to her female student to give Jiae a seat.
Instead of Kuho, who moved her seat, Ji-ae sat next to me.
She greeted me in a small whisper.
“Hello, Ji-eun.”
“Hi. It’s Jiae.”
“How have you been doing?”
“Eww… Huh.”
Even if she traces her memories of her, Lee Ji-eun, she has no memories of being close to her.
However, Ji-ae treated her kindly as if she was close to Ji-eun.
