Yul took f6ee1d4269 a step 1a97698790 closer, looking fe0fa553df down at ebd9bf64b6 Seohee. Seohee’s eyes 0f2f9a9f2a wavered, filled 3e8652073b with anger 08fcc2f856 and wariness 8f94bb8e94 as she d8fea741f8 met Yul’s c0a1285fe1 intense gaze.b06b79f3faa97a8d

Now that bba23b83e6 things had dea4fa55dc come to 474164ed40 this, Yul ef4ebbda36 felt indignant. Why had she a22cac0177 ever avoided eye 30edd7171b contact with this d712109989 girl and lowered 6b534c27f0 her head?cf523affd47d3c3e

“I’m not going d228288ce8 down alone, Seohee. So, seriously, don’t mess 80d27ebb73 with me.”7366b1855bbc48fb

With her cool 13b6e932c8 warning, Yul lifted 8a7dbb0993 her head. Seohee’s eyes d42a41b6fe were burning 5152837417 with barely a5d7a4a511 contained rage, 7b635e4473 her clenched 765898b39f fists so ebbdf26f37 tight that eecbbf3e92 the bones fcb235c1ec were starting 4e79932a7e to protrude 611175d0de through her 8fbc1952b9 pale skin. For Seohee’s 91b287d8a2 personality, this d6c4ef492b was the d36642c32f kind of b4f46350b7 fury that 4259a9adc0 would usually beb4acedfe end in f20f299600 a punch, 326d10abff yet she ada6bd8869 held back.

Yul walked 00ba1be803 down the 0ccd662574 aisle between f298fcc239 the bookshelves.

There was 9e42d221de Yoonjo, who 661bee7a48 had vanished c8d142dfae right after 49a97297a7 class ended. How did he know 5c01fb0223 she was here, and bb30849dc0 what was he even 4a6f2e0a16 doing here?345687e96eedf5d5

With a calm expression, 8387908e19 Yoonjo muttered and handed ea92fb176d her a small bag. Yul took af3e34127a it with 364b446b63 a bewildered 110bf1f133 look, and d200b6e312 he added 00fa71b1ae a few bc47274f47 more words.c1760db7a5e0186b

He turned cca974567b and walked 94b43f1966 ahead after 00e5c49135 saying his 26283a6d99 piece. Yul, still in fa6372228a a daze, looked 9b7e7102c8 at the bag 95b6cd361f in her hand. She opened 4a8c4bd757 it up, ecdfc20ce4 revealing several 00eb3e3150 kinds of 701d0b4b98 medicine inside. The boxes varied in 04f92c8652 size and color, but 8e430a40c3 they were all painkillers.365d18b652271aad

It looked ae3816eb6b like he’d c109358496 bought them 202bbf7526 from a e95e431107 pharmacy, not 609b5b47da the school d877a62e19 infirmary. He probably e9c789d266 wasn’t sure 3c30bf95da what to f4aad9f5a6 get, so 44e508b256 he got 75ad2db784 a little 7e03252def of everything.

“Are we really dating?”55a9a8e15ccb4a67

She just wanted ccbf3f672c to confirm it. Her circumstances had 3b0da86a17 shifted thanks to 75c02bfb3f him holding her 55adb61d3c hand, but it 3271c70572 still didn’t feel ac507c212b real. Despite everything efcfc648ff still feeling 8b744dc897 shaky, his 80e90962d2 quiet gesture b0f7034ccd of kindness 62e469dfa5 left her 2f9f9adebe feeling choked afaec23f09 up. He’d told 3b0bea72bb her not 4e05fb1271 to be 04906ddec0 a pushover, 5c6685a2b7 to live aa396fd33a freely and 83e7712790 do as c49a51e12b she wanted. But there was an 1e9cb9b888 underlying condition to his 91f3ef2612 words. That was ab1d3fb8fc that Kang d65a1bf945 Yoonjo — 2bcdcbc372 he needed ac9c9aea7e to be 9a99e80e22 by her 483b78606d side.

“Don’t mind me, af2699a641 just eat,” Yoonjo 2912b16830 mumbled, eyes closed cb13dd2011 as he lay 196194a75c face-down on his 479e6d1c96 desk. It was lunchtime, e26f8c11f9 and the classroom 257b1519ed was empty. Usually, he would either f59898bf12 go to the cafeteria c3a6349332 to eat or vacate 9e523a0a71 his seat, even if 9617f7e95d he wasn’t hungry, but d9d8a887df today he stayed put. He said she should 4e84082cf9 pretend he wasn’t there, 1687c9eb65 but how could she 6fe5b19096 do that?8fc028457b2262cf

Yul considered not eating, cbe35cc00d but she’d skipped breakfast 6a6b98b3ed that morning, and her fe55892dd5 stomach was growling. She sneaked a glance, 91fa0affa3 and Yoonjo seemed to f2a109c64e be completely asleep, not 953a8808eb moving an inch. Her hesitation was 76ce5de83c finally overridden by eb83987bd9 the rumbling in 512f8fcec6 her stomach.ff21e05958bf18a3

Carefully, she took out 1cea4e7a0d her lunchbox and opened ca2207b197 it. The side dishes were 543ef3f6c1 simple: cheap pink sausage, 84df690f0a rolled eggs, and stir-fried 109213fdb0 kimchi.ead0fffb90b57e39

Oh, the smell will e28755fdd7 be noticeable. She quickly covered 5ca87e8b9a the side dish fed7236cd5 container’s lid, opened d7976cf99c the rice container, a6f5a58a5d and picked up 6ac3851b37 some rice with 058ca7fcfc her chopsticks. Then she opened a40b276a17 the lid again, 7c9a2df68b took out a aabc01a161 piece of sausage, a896c7acb1 and closed it fc20768b80 back immediately, eating 1d93795f09 as quietly as 6667fd25c8 she could.

He genuinely 2693fe58fd wanted a abbbb0741d taste. Unsure whether to feed 1245836250 him or not, she e7e0113a6c hesitated, wondering if he’d a8b5d7c09f like it or if 7d8eff1ed5 he’d find it strange.

After a 54fce32340 moment, she 0bf4504126 lifted a 6501edcb5d scoop of 9940027937 rice and e1d9ea359b dropped it 308159bf5a into his 6b236913d0 open mouth.
