Chapter 51 – Episode 51 – Midterms (3)
After Kang Kang-joon’s explanation was over.
Everyone reacted differently.
Darae seemed interested and placed her hand on her chin as if calculating the possibilities.
Kim Cha-ryeok seemed to like it and agreed.
Miho nodded as if it didn’t matter if it was the plan Kang Han-jun said.
And Yoo Seol-hee, the key to this plan, looked at Kang Kang-joon in silence and said.
“… Okay.”
With blue eyes, Kang Han-joon, showing off that he accepted because you said it.
Yoo Seol-hee agreed to Kang Kang-jun’s plan.
By the time everyone agrees to the absurd plan, and slowly tries to make the plan concrete.
Yu Seol-hee jumped up.
“Where are you going?”
If he was looking for something, he looked at Kang Han-joon, who kindly said that he could bring it to him.
“Restroom.”
At those words, Kang Han-joon shyly moved out of his seat.
He’s always considerate of himself, and he’s paying attention to the fact that the cold air he emits might harm others.
Yu Seol-hee felt a throb in a corner of her chest.
At the same time, a sticky desire sprouted.
He wondered what kind of appearance Kang Kang-joon would show if he deliberately radiated cold air.
Just thinking about him staring at himself in bewilderment and covering the cold with his body made my heart beat.
Contrary to the past when she cursed and resented the coldness that spread around her, Yu Seol-hee, realizing that she had this thought, grabbed her hand.
Disgust and immorality.
Yu Seol-hee, who stopped for a moment, passed Kang Han-jun with a blunt expression, as if hiding her emotions.
To go to the outdoor toilet, I went back to the back of the cafe building.
As she waited quietly there, as expected, the monster she had thought of appeared.
Salang, salang.
Sammiho wagging his tail and smiling brightly.
No, I saw her grown up enough to call her Sami Ho now.
A triangular triangular ear sprouting from the top of the head and a fluffy tail.
A charming personality and a bewitching appearance that naturally catches the eye.
Unlike herself, looking at Lee Mi-ho, who seems to have been blessed from head to toe.
Yu Seol-hee quietly leaned her body against the wall.
Lee Mi-ho also silently approached the wall she leaned against and looked at herself.
A moment of silence.
They looked at each other without saying anything, but this brutal silence was broken by Lee Mi-ho.
“So, why do you keep wagging your tail at my man?”
As if playing with words, Lee Mi-ho gently wags her fourth tail.
Yu Seol-hee felt hatred towards Lee Mi-ho for provoking her and bringing her to this situation.
When she’s with Kang Joon, she laughs like an idiot and acts cute.
She was Lee Mi-ho, who pretended to be nice, but Yoo Seol-hee could tell.
She said today that she took out Kang Kang-jun’s fossil, and when she quietly approached him.
She noticed that the sweet smell of Kang Joon’s body was covered by someone else’s.
Looking at the marks left on her collarbone and neck, she realized that Ho had already smiled at her.
“… Lee Mi-ho, are you dating Kang Han-joon?”
So, Yu Seol-hee asked Lee Mi-ho straight-forward.
As if Lee Mi-ho was saying something obvious, she smiled.
“Can’t you see?”
A fourth tail that wags gently.
Yu Seol-hee, who knew what that meant, bit her lip as Jun was strong enough to erase her own yin.
“Then may I ask?”
But still, Yu Seol-hee asked again.
Then Lee Mi-ho’s relaxed red eyes shook greatly.
Seeing that, Yu Seol-hee realized that her own prediction was correct.
She said that if she was dating Kang Kang-joon in the first place, she just had to announce the fact that she was dating at the time she clung to her.
However, Lee Mi-ho continued to be anxious, and kept her eyes on herself and kept it in check in a different way.
What this meant was clear.
The fact that Lee Mi-ho and Kang Han-joon did not accept the promise of ‘going out’ from each other.
“If you don’t date, there’s no way you’ll get along.”
Lee Mi-ho pretended to be calm on the outside.
However, the red eyes that were already shaking gave Yoo Seol-hee even more confidence.
“Then I can ask Kang Han-jun.”
“Stop it.”
Suddenly, Lee Mi-ho growled.
Seeing her true nature finally revealed, Yoo Seol-hee smiled quietly.
Judging from the fact that they mixed their bodies and their usual appearances, it was true that Kang Han-jun and Lee Mi-ho were close.
But there was something instinctive about it.
Ambiguous conversation, light skinship for dating.
Yoo Seol-hee realized that he looked like a lover, but not like a lover.
Ho already loves Kang Joon, but she is also afraid.
“Are you afraid? I’m afraid of what will happen if I refuse.”
She wouldn’t have noticed it before, but she noticed because she was herself now.
“I’m afraid that if Kang Han-jun refuses, I won’t be able to turn back. I haven’t told you yet.”
She was like that too.
If the strong Jun thinks he will push himself away, the opposite of before.
She didn’t know how to act anymore.
“So what are you?”
Then Lee Mi-ho asked himself.
“So, can you talk to Hanjun who mixed with me?”
It was a question that struck a chord.
Yu Seol-hee couldn’t say anything.
As if Lee Mi-ho wanted to see it, she continued.
“Look, you’re the same. To the subject who fell for Han Junie’s kindness and floundered. To the subject who has no courage to go further than me. So don’t argue with me any more.”
Lee Mi-ho left those words and turned around and walked away.
Yu Seol-hee was silent, and quietly sighed.
“… No.”
“You.”
Lee Mi-ho looked behind her.
Seeing Yoo Seol-hee’s appearance, Lee Mi-ho swallowed her breath slightly.
Unlike her usual bluntness, Yoo Seol-hee’s face had a single expression.
“… I don’t like it.”
Yoo Seol-hee looked up at Lee Mi-ho, not knowing what kind of expression she was making.
Unlike herself, she was Lee Mi-ho with everything.
Beautiful. Repay the attention of those around you with kindness. Always lively
She was different from herself who shoved people away and was silent.
Because of that, she was envious and jealous.
But I could understand all of that.
She herself was cursed from birth.
But only one.
She receives a kindness she has never received, and a man who is immune from her own curse.
He just couldn’t give it up.
Although I deliberately ignored and turned away from this throbbing and numb feeling in my heart.
She couldn’t stand it any longer.
It was because if I turned away from him more than this, it seemed that Kang Han-joon would go far away.
“I’m sorry… But I don’t like it.”
Yoo Seol-hee looked up at Lee Mi-ho.
Lee Mi-ho couldn’t say anything when he saw Yoo Seol-hee, who was distorting her expression as if she was crying or angry.
“Do as you please.”
In the end, Lee Mi-ho muttered these words of hers and left her seat.
Yu Seol-hee, who had been standing there quietly, went back to the cafe after a while.
Yoo Seol-hee and Lee Mi-ho.
Kang Han-jun, who felt that the atmosphere had changed without knowing why, swallowed a gulp.

10 pm.
The dormitory at this time, when the day was coming to an end, was quiet.
There was some giggling outside the window along the way, but that was good in its own way.
Darae took out a sword from the room and was wiping it with a white cloth.
I looked at Darae once as he carefully polished his sword in a straight posture, then turned my eyes to the magic book I was reading.
Lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun with witchcraft.
Even though I couldn’t believe that magic books like textbooks were fun in this world.
“Ummm…”
The feeling of heterogeneity that was clearly felt inside the body was discharged with the fingertips.
Now, it is possible to transform it to the extent that it can be easily applied in everyday life.
Recalling the theory I saw in the book roughly, when I was converting.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk vibrated.
‘Are you single?’
In the evening, infrequently, Miho would call.
The time was just about that, so I looked at my phone thinking it was Miho.
Contrary to my expectations, an unfamiliar name came to mind.
“Seolhee?”
Seol-hee, who had never texted or called before, called me.
I wonder, let’s answer the call.
I heard Seol-hee’s cold yet clear voice over the phone.
“… Gangjun Kang, what are you doing?”
Seol-hee immediately asks what she is doing.
I felt that the question that went to the main topic without greeting was like Seol-hee.
I smiled and answered Seolhee.
“I’m reading a magic book. I have to read it from time to time like this, so I can follow the class.”
Then Seolhee didn’t say anything.
Feeling curious about Seol-hee who keeps silent, the moment she tries to say something.
Only then did Seol-hee speak to me.
“Is it time now?”
“Yes?”
It’s late, Seol-hee suddenly asks me if I have time.
I want to know what it means, let’s blankly reflect on the question.
Seolhee asked me again.
“When it’s time, can you come to the pavilion next to the park now?”
“It’s possible.”
“Then come out, I’ll be waiting for you.”
Pop.
Call cut off.
I was confused by Seol-hee’s phone call, which hung up after only talking about the main topic, and remembered Seol-hee’s last voice on the phone.
‘Because I’ll be waiting for you.’
A trembling voice, as if it had made a firm decision.
Hearing this voice, not going out was a foolish thing to do.
So I hurriedly got dressed.
“It’s late. Where are you going?”
Darae asked me with a questionable expression while handling the knife.
“I’ve got some business to do.”
Darae then looked at the clothes I was wearing, and a blush appeared on my cheeks.
“It’s big… Yes, Hanjun. Have a good trip, that… Do well.”
Darae seemed to have a big misunderstanding.
I tried to explain something, but I think I’m going to go crazy like last time.
She swallowed her tears and left the room.
Pitch black sky.
At certain distances, street lamps ran down the road emitting fire.
Not long after, I arrived at the park and found a person.
Even in the black darkness, there was a glimmer of frost around In-young.
Knowing that there is only one person with that characteristic, I headed that way.
