24. twisted inner love

After all the lectures, it was originally time to go to exercise, but I let Eve and Tana go and headed to the cafe in front of the dormitory.

Ha-yun is already sipping and drinking something from a mug. It looked like some kind of tea, but it was the first time I had ever seen students drink rather than older professors drinking.

“Are you drinking something unique?”

“Drink one more time. It has a strangely deep flavor.”

“I like tea quite a bit too.”

“okay?”

Ha-yun smiled as if she thought it was a common topic.

Apparently, when I lived in the forest, I had to lead a self-sufficient life, so there were many times when I brewed tea using herbs and leaves obtained from the forest.

At that time, a thought came to my mind, so I ordered tea, not coffee, and sat down in front of Hayun.

“So, do you have any plans?”

I didn’t plan on doing everything one by one, I just wanted to help, so I thought I’d give it a try, but I’ve prepared quite well.

“There is an annex inside the academy that is not easily accessible. There is a big tree in front of me, and I will confess there.”

“Oh, I saw that too.”

It was a huge tree that stood out.

If even cherry blossoms bloom, a pretty cool scene will be produced, but from what I’ve heard, it’s just a miscellaneous tree.

“Yeah, they said it was a confession spot.”

“Coop, a confession spot.”

Well, I thought that there must be at least one such place in the academy, so I nodded and suddenly became curious.

“But from whom did you hear that?”

It doesn’t look like he was just looking for something like that from Hayun’s image. Then she responds, avoiding her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

“In class. I heard the kids talk. You know a kid, too, hanging out with Rin.”

“Ahh. You know, you know.”

I honestly don’t know, but I just nodded my head.

What’s the point with these kids?

Anyway, the location has been decided.

“What time are you going to do it?”

“Three days later, at night. The clothes I have to wear are a bit protruding, so I want to do it when people are not around.”

“Your clothes are splattered?”

Curious, I glanced around, but Ha-yun shook her head.

“Yeah, it’s probably because it’s too difficult to wear at the academy.”

Hayun shuts her mouth to see if she has any intention of saying anything more. But it doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can do to help.

“I told you about the type that Ares likes, is there anything else I can do for you?”

“Can you give me a little more detail? For example, didn’t you say anything about the situation in which Ares wants to be confessed? Last time, Elise said that boys say all sorts of things to their real friends.”

“Well, there is something similar.”

He scratched the back of his head and just said. It’s not that Ares had a unique lust for idealism, and it’s not a big problem.

“I’ve talked about situations where I want to confess rather than being confessed to. I just prepared candles and I want to confess while singing.”

“……”

Ha-yoon looks at me blankly as if she was a little shocked. Well, it can’t be said to be eccentric, but it seemed to be something different from the image of Ares he had.

“A little bit broken. I thought you wouldn’t sing.”

“You’re doing pretty well.”

Won a silver medal in the village children’s song contest.

A bronze statue of Lin Yi in gold.

By the way, there were only three of us.

Tana and Eve walked away gasping as we crossed our arms and told them about Ares.

It seems that the two of them exercised, but he said he hated it so much even until morning, so I wondered what was going on again.

“yes? You say you don’t like to exercise.”

“Actually, I ate too many snacks after school, so it’s my conscience…”

“Wow, my stomach hurts.”

it’s really good

It’s not digestible, but it’s natural that it’s hard to run.

“But what are you two doing?”

I smiled and replied to Tana, who looked puzzled as to whether she thought the combination of Ha-yoon and I was out of the blue.

“consulting.”

“you?”

“I.”

Looking at Tana who looks at me with suspicious eyes and Eve who is tired, the appearance of Eve when she is dressed up.

After embracing the two with a drink, we get straight to the point.

“Decorate Hayun just like you did Eve the other day.”

“What? why?”

“Ugh.”

I wondered if it was okay to say this, but Hayoon glanced at me and opened her mouth with a sigh.

“I will confess to Ares.”

“What?!”

“Oops.”

Tana jumps up like a reflex.

Come to think of it, isn’t Tana a fish in Ares’s fishery? I forgot about it because I haven’t been showing off lately.

However, Tana looked at Hayoon for a while and sat down without saying anything.

“Are you serious?”

“Yeah, I’m done now.”

When Hayoon said with a self-deprecating smile, Tana sighed and nodded.

“Tell me when you need it.”

After that, stories about the confession operation that started again.

Eve said it didn’t matter and took out a book from her bag and started reading, but we talked about it in quite detail.

At the end of the conversation, Tana told Hayoon what to prepare and took Eve into the dormitory.

Hayoon also tried to speak when he got up, but I rested my chin on my chin and affirmed.

“The most important thing is to smile.”

“……yes?”

“He basically likes bright girls. Practice smiling.”

“……okay.”

Yes, no matter how pretty you decorate it, even if you say it hard like a wooden stone, it doesn’t really touch your heart.

If you smile a little and set the mood, and show a different side of yourself, wouldn’t there be a chance of winning?

‘Wait, but what if I really win?’

Come to think of it, yes.

What if I’m going to lose and I win?

But he quickly shakes his head. As someone who knew who Ares was in love with, I felt a bit bitter that I couldn’t win despite my efforts.

“Heh, hehe.”

Rin, who was humming in the room while humming, smiled and braided her hair. Yesterday I heard the boys chatting among themselves and got some new information.

‘Don’t you suddenly feel excited when a girl who was originally fixed on a style comes with a new style?’

‘Ah, I really admit that. I’m a bit concerned when she suddenly changes her hairstyle or wears clothes she’s never seen before.’

‘There is a kid in Class E who wears glasses and carries books. It was really shocking when he transformed once.’

“That’s right.”

I’ve done it a few times when I was younger, but it’s the first time I’ve braided my hair since I’ve gotten this old, but it’s gotten pretty cool.

Rin placed it slightly on her shoulder and secured her ponytail with a hair tie.

“I think other clothes would be better than school uniforms.”

However, Rin didn’t have many clothes and didn’t have the money to buy clothes, so she took off her school uniform cardigan and checked the mirror while wearing only a shirt.

It’s a different atmosphere from her, who usually looses her hair. Lin nodded and walked out. I decided to go for a walk with my friend Hare, so I headed to her room.

‘Because there is no surveillance inside the dormitory.’

I wanted to go out and show it.

It would be great if you saw the surveillance log and approached it with excitement.

“Hare?”

I knocked gently, but there was no answer.

It wasn’t locked, so when I opened the door, Hare was staring blankly out the window.

“Hare?”

I wondered what he was looking at so intently, so when he called again, Hare suddenly shook his head as if he had come to his senses and looked at Rin with a smile.

“What, are you going on a blind date somewhere? Did you do it very nicely?”

When Hare made a fuss while looking at Rin, Rin blushed and made an excuse that he was just in the mood.

Briefly prepared and going down the stairs with Hare, Rin felt that the situation was a bit strange and asked her.

“By the way, what were you looking out of the window just now?”

I was looking down, but when I muttered that the location would have been towards the cafe, Hare turned around and said it was nothing.

Well, Rin didn’t pay much attention and came down to the first floor.

It was in a corner seat, so it was hard to see, but Daniel, a male student that Rin couldn’t miss, was laughing and talking with Hayoon from Class A.

“……was this?”

“uh? ah! yes……”

Hare’s excuse was strange, but he had no time to care about it. Lynn’s eyes went cold and her fists clenched. It looked like something was going to explode, but I turned my body with superhuman patience.

‘what’s this.’

Rin, who was walking at a brisk pace, was lost in thought.

what the hell is the situation

Daniel has a crush on him, but he doesn’t approach him because of his shyness and special nature. She wanted to go and sit next to her right now, but Daniel didn’t want that, so Rin put up with it.

However.

But you’re that close to another girl?

what?

What the hell?

where have you heard it

There are people who can easily approach women who are not really rational, but are not good at talking to women they like.

Yes, I try to understand it that way.

To understand…

understand…?

……

………why?

Why should I?

You don’t understand me either.

I don’t approach you the way you want, I’m just waiting from a distance, you don’t understand me, I don’t want you to talk to another woman.

okay.

if you like each other.

We just need to be together.

The roof of the academy.

Mei, who was leaning against the railing, raised her head and spit out the pool of blood in her mouth toward the setting sun.

“Black.”

“Oh, it hurts so much.”

“Look at the bruises on your face.”

“hey! you are bleeding!”

The so-called gang of bad boys who she had been with were all lying around her, but the sound of crying was annoying.

“Crazy guys. How did you get us right away as soon as we arrived?”

The reason May was hit like this was because of the gang of Phenyl Reiros, who returned from suspension today.

He brought the 4th grade gang led by himself into a group, and then struck out May’s gang.

The reason was obvious.

They said they were suspended because of May, and they came to avenge it.

‘It must be because bastards can’t shout at Daniel.’

That’s why I came to my easygoing self and took off my anger like this, reestablishing the ranking order. There was a feeling that I was going too far, but it must have been because I was confident about something.

“Eww.”

Slowly getting up from her seat, Mei rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a candy cane, then leaned against the railing.

If it was like before, even if I was trembling and scared, I would have thought about how I should show my seniors well in the future, but now I don’t think much of it.

‘Maybe it’s because I feel really scared.’

Daniel’s life felt in the dean’s office.

After feeling the rougher and more ferocious atmosphere, like that of a demon beast, there was nothing really scary about it.

I wonder if there is anything scarier than that in the world.

I looked down as I unwrapped the broken candy cane and saw Daniel coming out of the cafe just in time and entering the dormitory.

There was Hayoon next to him, and the two of them looked pretty close.

“Ha, I’m struggling like this, but you’re in a relationship, right?”

I was dumbfounded, so I burst out laughing, but I remembered the conversation he had with me.

‘The most troublesome child, Phenyl Reiros, is also suspended. Can you absorb the gang of delinquents?’

‘yes? I guess I’ll have to work hard…’

‘I’m not interested in 5th grade anyway. The 4th year is virtually empty because Phenyl Reiros is suspended. I’ve heard that there are a few gangs of troublemakers in the third year, but…’

‘There are a few of them.’

‘If you fight or fight for power, call me. ‘Cause I’ll cook it all up I’ll make it so you can put it under your feet somehow.’

For what purpose he made himself do this, I don’t know. But I knew the intention.

“Are you going to catch both the yin and yang?”

Yangji is the dean.

Even the academy’s top decision-maker and the highest-ranking dean can’t budge on Daniel right now.

Mine is Mei herself.

It may be an attempt to unite the thugs and build Mei over their heads, but in reality, Mei is also captured by Daniel.

I don’t know what he was trying to do by taking control of the academy this far, but I wondered if he was only forcing himself to do dirty work.

Well, to be honest, it was a proposal I accepted without difficulty because I had thought about putting all the delinquents at my feet at least once.

“May, what should we do now?”

“Just looking at it, it seemed like we were going to keep touching each other.”

“Let’s just go back and say sorry to Phenyl. Then you can watch it!”

Glancing at her friends who had finally come to their senses, May put the crumbled candy into her mouth with a smile.

“What do you do? You can’t just be beaten like this.”

In the second exam, only Daniel fought and he was protected, but he said it was a team play.

then.

‘You’re dating, I’m fighting in the back room. This can be seen as a pretty cool team play.’

The candy crumbs rolled down my tongue and stabbed me sharply.

It was pretty sweet.
