Episode 73

The next day.

It was noisy inside the class after the midterm exam.

“This exam seems to have failed.”

“It’s because you’re cramming, you idiot.”

“If you feel the thrill of cramming, you can only cram.”

“Asshole.”

In the middle of a chat with a group of close friends.

All eyes were on the front door.

Drreuk-

The front door opened and Jeong Ha-yeon came in right away.

“Wow. Hayeon is pretty.”

“Sure. Don’t you think you’re prettier than before?”

All of her male students stared at her enthralled.

“Your expression certainly brightened.”

“Sure. Just a few days ago, your expression looked very dark. Is there anything good?”

“Aren’t you dating?”

“Ha-yeon doesn’t like dating. Sick.”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at them and shook her head.

“Yeonah Ha!”

Someone clung to Jeong Ha-yeon’s side.

Jeong Ha-yeon turned her gaze to that direction.

“Uh. It’s Minseo.”

Jeong Ha-yeon said with a broad smile.

“Let’s go to the canteen! Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Kim Min-seo and Jeong Ha-yeon started walking toward the canteen.

“Yeonah Ha.”

“Huh?”

“You look so bright today. Is it because that stalker can’t get into our school?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Nam Doyoon certainly did a great job. Because of him, ‘Kane’ couldn’t transfer to our school.”

“..Nam Doyoon..Nam Doyoon..”

Jeong Ha-yeon muttered her name over and over again.

“Yeonah Ha!”

“Huh?”

“Why are you muttering Nam Doyoon’s name all of a sudden?”

“Ah.. Nothing.”

“Ummm.. Is it?”

Kim Min-seo looked at Jeong Ha-yeon with her eyes narrowed.

“By the way, Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Huh?”

“I heard that you were with Nam Do-yoon when you left school the other day. Is that true?”

“..Ah..No? Didn’t you go to school together?”

Kim Min-seo looked at Jeong Ha-yeon with her eyes narrowed.

“There is also a picture taken here of Nam Do-yoon and you going home from school.”

From noble mtl dot com

Kim Min-seo showed Jeong Ha-yeon a picture from her cell phone.

“…hahahaha. That’s right. I must have forgotten for a moment.”

“Yeonah Ha.”

“Eh.. Huh?”

“That was the day I couldn’t go to school because I had work, right?”

“Yeah.. That’s right.”

“Hmm.. Ha-yeon is strange. Didn’t you originally leave school together because you were afraid that a man would misunderstand that he liked you?”

Jung Ha-yeon stared at Kim Min-seo.

Then she let out a sigh and said.

“…Originally, I wasn’t going to go home with you either.”

“Then why did you go with me?”

“..There was nothing I could do about it at that time.”

“I don’t think so. The stalker is openly walking around looking for you outside, but it’s a bit uneasy to go home alone. By the way, Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Huh?”

“Who suggested we go together? It’s you? Or is it Nam Do-yoon?”

“…Do I have to answer that?”

“Yes. It’s very important.”

“..Nam Doyoon.”

“Really? Why is he suddenly?”

“…He overheard everything we were talking about during lunch.”

“Ah… So Ha-yeon asked you to go with Nam Do-yoon. Uh? Wait for a sec.”

Kim Min-seo’s footsteps stopped.

“Why? Aren’t you going?”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at Kim Min-seo and said.

“Wait a minute. Why did he ask to go with you? You and Nam Do-yoon have nothing to do with each other.”

“…Let’s go. It’s Minseo.”

Kim Min-seo stood still in her seat, resting her chin on her chin, thinking hard.

Then he clapped his hands and said.

“Ah! Nam Do-yoon and Ha-yeon like you.”

“…Huh?..Huh?”

“No, Nam Do-yoon asked Ha-yeon to go with him because he likes you. If not, can’t you explain it? I honestly don’t care if a girl I’m not interested in gets stalked.”

“…Does it look that way to you?”

Jeong Ha-yeon’s cheeks were stained red.

“Of course not! If that’s not the case, why would you want to go with me? I wanted to protect her because she liked me.”

“…Actually, I met ‘Kane’.”

“Huh? Why?”

Kim Min-seo said with a shocked expression.

“Nam Doyoon kept talking. It is said that the more you avoid trauma, the more you fear it. Rather, you have to face it, but they say you can overcome it.”

“So you met Kane?”

“..Yes.”

“..It’s too dangerous. Meeting a stalker bastard. What if something bad happened to me?”

“… Originally, I had no intention of going to meet him, but Namdo Yoon said that he would be by his side, and he insisted on meeting me.”

“…So you met Kane?”

“Uh. Maybe the trauma can be healed a little.”

“Does that make you feel a little better?”

“Yes. It’s definitely a little better than before.”

However, Jeong Ha-yeon’s hands were still shaking a little.

She still hasn’t completely overcome her trauma.

“But now, even when I recall, I don’t fall into a panic like I used to. It must have helped.”

Minseo Kim nodded her head.

“By the way, Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Huh?”

“Why did Namdo Yoon stay by your side when you were wasting your time to meet the stalker? He usually locks himself in the dormitory after class.”

“…That’s it.”

“Yes. Because Nam Do-yoon likes you.”

Kim Min-seo said with a grin.

Nam Doyoon was walking from the other side of the hallway.

Nam Do-yoon stared at Jung Ha-yeon as he walked towards this direction.

“Hey. Is Ha-yeon coming here staring at you?”

“Huh?”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at Nam Do-yoon.

He was really staring at me as he walked away.

Jeong Ha-yeon hurriedly avoided her gaze.

Then Nam Do-yoon walked past Min-seo Kim and Ha-yeon Jeong and entered the classroom..

“Wow. Oh my god. Did you see Nam Do-yoon and Ha-yeon staring at you so hard?”

“….”

“Yeonah Ha. Did you see it too? Nam Do-yoon stared at you completely.”

“Huh? Uhh… “

Jeong Ha-yeon stuttered her words.

Actually, we couldn’t even make eye contact.

Why did I avert my eyes from him?

****

While I was on my way to the classroom, I saw Minseo Kim and Hayeon Jung together in the hallway.

They looked at me, stopped, and started watching me.

‘What’s wrong?’

The moment you just want to pass by.

I saw Jeong Ha-yeon’s lips smeared with chocolate.

I kept staring in that direction.

‘I have to tell you that, and I shouldn’t.’

It was buried very finely.

If you tell me, you’re likely to hear that I’m a pervert, and if I don’t tell you, it’s embarrassing.

‘Let’s just pass by.’

No matter how much I think about it, if I tell you that, I’ll be treated like a pervert.

As I passed them, they seemed to be talking among themselves, but I couldn’t hear them.

I hope it’s not just my gossip.

“Hey. Where are you going on this trip?”

“America. Should I go?”

The main chatter of the students was that they planned to hang out now that the exam was over.

In the meantime, a student said.

“Uh. Hey, did you see the article just now?”

“What article?”

“No. I hear ‘Samhwa’ Bio, run by Cha Ji-yoon, is holding a new drug presentation?”

“What? Really? Where are you coming from?”

“It appeared on the main Naver article right now. Go in.”

“Wow. It’s real. Does having a new drug presentation event mean that the development of a “New drug” Has been successful? That’s great.”

“How great is a new drug that we even hold a presentation?”

As he said that, the students secretly looked at Cha Ji-yoon.

She kept her expressionless.

She seemed completely uninterested in the students’ chatter.

“Ah. I want to go to a new drug presentation.”

“Why?”

“No, think about it. All of the people who are invited to the development of ‘Samhwa’ bio new drugs must be people who have a place in society, but if you properly stamp your eyes there, you will feel very comfortable going out of society later.”

“But, even if you go there, your age doesn’t match. Can you make friends? “

“No. Sick child. You have to be friends with the kids there.”

“Ah. That’s right. You can do that.”

“Anyway, ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ has only two invitations, right?”

“Uh. It says so in the article too. Even if you are the bio president, you only have 3 invitations.”

“Then.. That invitation, of course.”

The student’s gaze turned to the student with yellow hair.

“Of course he will, right?”

“Uh. I guess so.”

“Uh. Her father is a prosecutor. Unconditional. Wasn’t his name Kim Min-seong?”

Hearing that, Kim Min-seong smiled.

Soon he got up from his seat.

Then I walked to the seat where Cha Ji-yoon was sitting.

Soon he stood in front of Cha Ji-yoon’s seat.

“…?”

Cha Ji-yoon felt the presence and looked at him.

“You haven’t sent me an invitation yet, when can I get one?”

“….”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at him without saying a word.

“Ah. Maybe it hasn’t been printed yet? If so, I will give you the address. You can send it here.”

Kim Min-seong began calling Cha Ji-yoon his home address.

“…Why are you suddenly giving me your home address?”

Cha Ji-yoon made a puzzled expression.

“So you have to send me an invitation?”

“…Can I send you an invitation?”

Cha Ji-yoon tilted her head.

“Yes.”

“…Did I promise to send you an invitation?”

“No. It’s not like that, but among the students in my class, I think it’s right for me to go.”

All the students in the class nodded.

“Because my dad is the chief prosecutor, he gets invited to places like that. I envy you.”

“I really wanted to go there too, but there’s nothing I can do about it if it’s Kim Min-seong.”

That moment.

Drreuk-

I heard the back door open and a man came in.

Cha Ji-yoon looked at the man and he stood up.

“Anything you want to say to me?”

Kim Min-seong said.

“….”

Cha Ji-yoon ignored it and moved on.

Soon he stopped in front of the student.

Then she took her invitation card out of her pocket.

“…Will you come to our ‘Samhwa’ bio new drug presentation this time?”

Jiyoon Cha said.

“Yes?”

He was Nam Do-yoon.
