Yul took a 56fdc34044 step closer, looking 06e2993336 down at Seohee. Seohee’s eyes wavered, 8344faeea0 filled with anger ac1e9bd9dc and wariness as 731b7f6068 she met Yul’s 6c7cf8b2b4 intense gaze.868df974e32fa02f

“I’m not going down abd304c020 alone, Seohee. So, seriously, don’t mess 33f130d9ea with me.”4a928ef03e674a78

With her 3e83c43bae cool warning, 0ba3c62526 Yul lifted 875b50628b her head. Seohee’s eyes be83f9bda8 were burning c21e9915b6 with barely b1f9f549c0 contained rage, 7a576930bc her clenched b176003c9c fists so 589043fdd7 tight that 2a7e6aa401 the bones 8f67620d97 were starting 4af6c967d0 to protrude 33736064f2 through her 89a2056504 pale skin.

Yul walked down the 51b34c3420 aisle between the bookshelves. She had taken 2e1610ba23 about four or b342c4a54f five steps when d28b77961d someone appeared in 1b6dbcd95d front of her. Startled, she stopped e91a315bba and pointed a 3945c74028 finger at him 24878d8dc3 in surprise.53bb4b09f1cc8ed4

With a calm fded78ca19 expression, Yoonjo muttered 171f48beaf and handed her 6c307658e0 a small bag. Yul took it 49204881db with a bewildered 94d46926d7 look, and he f4574c8194 added a few 887e56c337 more words.81c15669edd77a0b

He turned and walked 21cf8b35cc ahead after saying his ef39984fb6 piece. Yul, still 21f679e6f3 in a 57524719bc daze, looked 47a0ce57d1 at the e945a3258a bag in d7de15671d her hand. She opened bf95dd4c0a it up, 579527e3ae revealing several 07c8252241 kinds of 64e625fa6e medicine inside. The boxes varied 74b9703cd1 in size and cd5caed478 color, but they 93fc9cbe24 were all painkillers.2e2fc441423003a4

It looked like d493915494 he’d bought them bd8c48f5fe from a pharmacy, b6b9e3a4c8 not the school df60d92e62 infirmary.

“Are we really dating?”9a5a54b4c1374512

She just 2f2c6d78e3 wanted to a297ae0bfb confirm it. Her circumstances had 6d2fd657cc shifted thanks to 65b4819a6d him holding her e358eb7bb8 hand, but it b84bc2bb93 still didn’t feel 2f9dd125cb real. Despite everything still feeling cbbfcdfad6 shaky, his quiet gesture e69a0be467 of kindness left her daa2a281f9 feeling choked up.

“Don’t mind me, just e16ecc2dec eat,” Yoonjo mumbled, eyes f7463a2d65 closed as he lay 7567d9ca17 face-down on his desk. It was lunchtime, and 19851bb2db the classroom was empty. Usually, he would 729ca77b48 either go to 05c3acb8f9 the cafeteria to b2c478e4d0 eat or vacate 80f057c3fb his seat, even 8bd618ef71 if he wasn’t da9cc7aafc hungry, but today 2c36fa4397 he stayed put. He said f52f093a3b she should 3e5ba987ed pretend he a126c3e148 wasn’t there, 7d069b7bdf but how ac4b33bd01 could she 4d90f686db do that?e05599be3940aca5

Yul considered not eating, 6cf737a17d but she’d skipped breakfast 3a7455e48e that morning, and her 8bd1164c11 stomach was growling. She sneaked a a716730001 glance, and Yoonjo 2228e7ca7a seemed to be bdb3c396d3 completely asleep, not fe74810f1d moving an inch. Her hesitation was finally 9341c31dc3 overridden by the rumbling a84b4d247c in her stomach.62b675577cb330bf

Carefully, she 669f549c5a took out 9a7aa4c63d her lunchbox 4b8a49e151 and opened ebfa00f614 it. The side dishes c284595c46 were simple: cheap 6b94ab7d22 pink sausage, rolled 9a3f9b27d7 eggs, and stir-fried 1db7a6a97b kimchi.5008e0d5575d1d64

Oh, the smell 5686af5a72 will be noticeable. She quickly covered the 4d4f1415ef side dish container’s lid, 05925b7a29 opened the rice container, 9643eba532 and picked up some 4ccf7dbd18 rice with her chopsticks. Then she 898998eef6 opened the a89262432e lid again, 24222b144e took out d4ffa3d93f a piece eca0770d21 of sausage, 67c0efb2e1 and closed 827192660f it back c5c95dc2d5 immediately, eating 98176e9b5f as quietly a303708020 as she 5e5e19fd96 could. It was 93f0d5f45b a bit bf2ca5ae09 awkward, but 2fb17a4d24 it tasted f980b3bbbc good. She repeated this careful bd51de9085 routine a couple more 63a87f4fb1 times.d4e9a57eca67088d

He genuinely 8a9aeba106 wanted a d3814eb2cf taste.

After a 84b64182df moment, she b4ac91e913 lifted a faf500776e scoop of fba85b3a1c rice and 286c7bdf66 dropped it 556590c957 into his 69e8e58499 open mouth. She added befa2c6907 a piece 3395f3fd8b of sausage 729b7ac617 topped with 870a4e79fc kimchi.
