Perhaps because it wasn't lunchtime yet, no one went to the cafeteria. As soon as I
turned the corner and came to the deserted backyard of the academy, Sooyeon Choi
stretched out her arms and wrapped them around my neck, pressing her body against
mine. It was an expression of affection without hesitation, but contrary to her actions,
her expression was quite pouty.
"Senior! That's really too much! I heard you had a prior appointment over the
weekend, so I was curious, but you and Senior Yuri just went out?! I was completely
excluded!"
"I think it would have been even weirder if you had been there."
"... How far did it go?"
"To the end?"
"..."
Soo-yeon Choi stuck her mouth out and looked at me, then stood on her tiptoes while
hugging my neck.
"...♥"
And she kissed me, using her tongue. Sooyeon Choi and I have already kissed so many
times that I can't even count, so there was no hesitation in kissing each other. Choi
Soo-yeon moved her hands that were wrapped around my neck to my cheeks and held
them tightly, mixing her tongue even more vi*lently, as if trying to erase any traces of
Yu-ri Lee from my lips.
When our lips parted, Sooyeon Choi looked at me with a slightly flushed expression
and put a little more pressure on her hands holding my cheeks.
"You said directly that you're greedy for women, but I didn't know that you could act so
unnecessarily open about it. It's annoying."
"At least I didn't lie. Rather than having to hide it and end up with both sides of the
aisle, wouldn't it be better for me to be completely open about it?"
"Wow, shameless..."
Sooyeon Choi let out her genuine exclamation and looked up at me, hugging my waist
and pressing her body even closer.
"But why don't I hate my senior even though I'm hearing these ridiculous and
shameless things right in front of my eyes?"
"Um, well... Because you're my girl?"
Choi Soo-yeon's eyes trembled slightly. But she soon came to her senses and still
pouted her mouth.
"Did you say that to Senior Yuri too?"
"Well, it's not exactly the same."
"It was mean."
Sooyeon Choi pinched my cheek without fear. If I were the original Han Seong-jin, it
would have been an unthinkable act, but Choi Soo-yeon accepted the fact that I had
changed better than anyone else, and her actions were quite bold.
"Senior Yuri, does she know that you and I have this kind of relationship?"
"She doesn't know yet. I told her that I'm greedy for women, though, so she knows
that."
"If you don't know 'yet,' does that mean you will tell her someday?"
"That's right. I have no intention of lying and hiding."
"Then, as a junior woman, I have no choice but to help my senior?"
"How?"
"Well, you'll just have to wait and see."
Choi Su-yeon grinned like a devil.
The result of "you'll know it when you see it" was revealed right away during
lunchtime.
Lunchtime Strategy
Lunchtime arrived. Choi Soo-yeon, as she always did these days, came up to the
third-grade cafeteria and sat down with us. Yu-ri Lee and Jeong Eun-ji, who had been
fierce at first and questioned why she was coming, seemed to have gotten used to it
now and didn't say much. At first glance, it seemed like a peaceful lunchtime, but the
peace was broken right after the meal was finished.
When we all returned to our seats after putting away our plates and resting while
waiting for our stomachs to settle, Sooyeon Choi suddenly called me.
"Huh? Senior Seong-jin? Look at me for a moment."
"Why?"
"Here, there's something on your lips."
Sooyeon Choi pointed her finger at the corner of my mouth. I didn't really feel like
there was anything on it... At her gesture, I unconsciously put my hand to my mouth,
but I couldn't touch anything.
At the same time, Soo-yeon Choi raised her body slightly and bent down as she
approached me.
"I can't help it. I'll clean it for you."
And she kissed me openly on the corner of my mouth.
"!!!"
This behavior was quite unexpected even for me, so I froze in shock. And what
surprised me even more was...
"You, you, you... What are you doing now—"
"M-crazy—"
Yu-ri Lee, who was now my girlfriend, and Jeong Eun-ji, who didn't like either me or
Choi Su-yeon. Naturally, Yu-ri Lee's reaction was much more vi*lent.
"Hey!!! What are you doing now!?"
Yu-ri Lee, whose face turned red, glared at Choi Soo-yeon. She was probably so
surprised that she jumped up from her seat, not caring that all the other kids were
looking at her.
Choi Su-yeon smiled at Yu-ri Lee with a calm expression.
"Did you wipe that thing off your mouth?"
"Don't be ridiculous! Seong-jin didn't have anything on his mouth! And even if he did,
you wouldn't have wiped it off with a tissue or your hand like that—"
"Really? I think Senior Seong-jin would like this kind of thing more. Senior Seong-jin is
greedy for women."
"So! Seong-jin's girlfriend is me!"
Seeing her friend proudly declaring herself to be my girlfriend, Eun-ji Jeong looked up
at the ceiling with a headache and closed her eyes tightly.
Meanwhile, Choi Soo-yeon did not flinch at Yu-ri Lee's declaration.
"Really? Congratulations. But I don't care if Seong-jin has a girlfriend or not. As long as
I can be with him."
"This is...!"
"After all, didn't you know and decide to meet Seong-jin? He's greedy for women. It
wouldn't be strange if Senior Seong-jin had a few women... ♥"
As Suyeon Choi said that, she quietly crossed her arms and pressed her chest to me.
When Yu-ri Lee saw that, a double wick lit up in her eyes. In fact, when a situation like
this occurred, I would be the one criticized first, but now, because of Choi Soo-yeon's
actions, all of Yu-ri Lee's anger was directed toward her.
Is this what helping meant? Being able to naturally get involved in the romantic
relationship while also allowing me to avoid being criticized by Yu-ri Lee?
'If you just look at her, she's a bit scary.'
Meanwhile, Yu-ri Lee, who thought she was completely victorious, could be seen
seething in her eyes at the unexpected attack. She opened her eyes and screamed at
Choi Su-yeon.
"Who are you to come between me and Seong-jin!? Me and Seong-jin are on the
weekend—"
Yu-ri Lee, who was screaming, suddenly realized that what was coming next was
definitely not something worth shouting in front of others, so her face turned red, and
she suddenly lowered her voice so that only the four of us sitting at this table—Choi
Su-yeon, Jeong Eun-ji, and me—could hear.
"We made it to the end this weekend. There's no room for you. Nowhere."
"What?!"
The one who was more surprised by those words was Jeong Eun-ji. The quiet, studious
girl seemed quite shocked by her friend's declaration that they had had sex over the
weekend.
Meanwhile, Choi Su-yeon, for the first time, had a stiff expression on her face and was
silent. Although she had already heard the story from me, she seemed displeased
when she was attacked with asymmetrical power from the woman in question.
"... So? Well, it's not like we're in an era where just having sex once leads to marriage."
"What?"
"It doesn't matter whether your senior is your girlfriend or not, or whether she had sex
or not. You, senior, just play nice and friendly with Senior Seong-jin. I'll hang out with
Senior Seong-jin the same way."
"You... Even though I just said that Sung-jin is your girlfriend—"
"If you don't think so, you can break up with him. I'll date Senior Seong-jin. Oh, of
course, unlike Senior Yuri, I have a big heart, so I won't say anything even if Senior Yuri
sticks around while I'm dating Senior Seong-jin. How about that?"
Yu-ri Lee's face turned red, and her whole body trembled, to the point where I was
worried that she might explode. And then she finally made up her mind and crossed
her arms around me and screamed.
"Noisy! Seong-jin's girlfriend is me, no matter what anyone says! Not you!"
"Then it's decided. Yuri will be Seong-jin's girlfriend. I'll just stick around like I am now.
You're not complaining, right? If you are, just break up."
"You... What are you..."
Even though she became my official girlfriend, she was caught up in Choi Soo-yeon,
who was clingy to her, and perhaps because she felt like she was losing the decision,
Yu-ri Lee's body trembled with anger and her eyes welled up with tears.
Since I wasn't in the mood to intervene, I stayed quietly in the middle of them and
realized that it was time to step in, so I wiped away the tears that had started to form
at the corners of Yuri's eyes.
"Yuri, don't cry. No matter what anyone says, you are my girlfriend. Come on, snap out
of it."
"Sigh... Sigh..."
If you think about it, I was an asshole who just sat back and watched while the two
were fighting, but Choi Su-yeon's aggression was so severe that Yu-ri Lee couldn't
even think about it and just silently accepted my consolation. No, on the contrary,
when I saw her wrapping her arms around me more tightly while I was wiping away her
tears, it seemed like she thought it was proof that she had won by decision.
Meanwhile, Sooyeon Choi looked at me for a moment, then took out her cell phone
and typed something. When I checked my cell phone after lunch, there was this text
message:
[Choi Su-yeon]: I was afraid of being criticized by my senior, so I just held back.
Instead, I will go to the convenience store later and get everything replenished.
Aftermath and Adaptation
Even after the situation calmed down and Choi Soo-yeon returned to her second-
grade classroom for her afternoon class, Yu-ri Lee felt like her stomach was boiling.
'You bitch... Seong-jin's girlfriend is me, me! I've already been with Sung-jin twice! No
matter how much you tease...'
Han Seong-jin told her several times that he would not neglect her and that he truly
liked her. Now, Yu-ri Lee did not doubt those words, and Han Seong-jin also took her
side at the scene of the fight. Because of that one action, the fact that Han Seong-jin
stayed silent while the fight grew was forgotten in Yu-ri Lee's mind.
She didn't like Choi Soo-yeon sticking around, but Han Seong-jin had already revealed
that he was greedy for women, and even then, he put her first. So, her way of thinking
was gradually adapting to the strange situation.
And then two more days passed, and it was Wednesday. It was now the day when the
results for the April written test would be posted.
