Ji Ho wasn’t present in class last week.
Lee Soo had sat in the front row and hadn’t looked back until the class ended.
Lee Soo intended not to look back today either.
‘The more I push him away, the better it is. I won’t have to feel awkward seeing Ji Ho, or worry about being swayed.’
Eventually, I’ll become indifferent, just like before.
‘The only problem is that there are so many things I still need to give back…….’
Umbrella, clothes, 20,000 won in cash, and a grateful heart.
I should return the borrowed money and items soon, even if I pay back the gratitude later.
I wonder if he thinks I’m just using him without making any contact.
‘Is there a way to give them back without seeing Ji Ho?’
Lee Soo finished her class with a restless heart.
After class, Lee Soo deliberately left the classroom late to avoid running into Ji Ho, who might be in the back seat.
As she was walking quietly with her eyes down, a familiar voice reached her ears.
“Lee Soo.”
When she raised her head, she saw Ji Ho leaning against the wall.
As their eyes met, Ji Ho walked towards her with a slight smile.
“Why are you coming out so late? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
Ji Ho spoke as if they had made a prior arrangement to meet.
“Oh. Just because.”
Because of you.
Lee Soo stammered with a slightly confused expression.
He didn’t even say hello even though it had been almost two weeks since they last saw each other, and acted naturally as if they met every day.
“Why did you wait for me?”
“Didn’t I say I would see you today?”
“Huh?”
Ah. That note from yesterday.
Lee Soo nodded belatedly.
Ji Ho did leave it.
“You’re going to the library today, too?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
What’s with this natural conversation?
Ji Ho just followed Lee Soo without saying anything else.
After disturbing her mind and suddenly cutting off contact, Ji Ho appeared out of nowhere, as calm as ever.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, for the past few days, her mind was filled with Ji Ho.
Even when she tried to shake it off, it didn’t work.
She tried not to be swayed by such emotions.
She felt drained even though nothing had started.
‘This is why I hate dating.’
She didn’t want to waste time on these useless emotional expenditures.
She should have stopped before it even started, but the problem was that it was already out of control.
Ji Ho followed Lee Soo to the end and sat next to her.
When Lee Soo looked at him with a ‘why’ expression, Ji Ho whispered very softly, “Study.”
Lee Soo nodded her head.
Right next to me?
Can she concentrate on her studies with Ji Ho beside her?
These days, just thinking about him was enough to lose concentration instantly.
Even if she lowered her right head to block the view of him sitting there, the scent coming from Ji Ho kept lingering in her nostrils.
Just that made her feel a little dizzy.
She had a premonition that it wouldn’t be easy to endure the feelings for him.
With Ji Ho next to her, Lee Soo memorized the types of 20 amino acids.
She looked at the protein composition and structure written in the lecture notes, read it over and over, and gathered her scattered concentration.
Even though her hair blocked the view, she felt like he was constantly looking at her.
She closed her eyes tightly, hesitated whether to kick this spot and leave.
After spending time in chaos, it was 10 p.m.
She had managed to fill the time she had set for herself, but there wasn’t much left in her head as she was forced to sit and endure it.
‘How did I end up like this?’
She felt a sense of selfloathing at the fact that her unwavering concentration had undeniably collapsed in front of Ji Ho.
As Lee Soo started to pack up, Ji Ho got up as if he had been waiting.
Lee Soo, who came out of the library, handed Ji Ho the 20,000 won she had borrowed from him.
“I’m sorry for paying you back so late. I didn’t bring the clothes today, so I’ll give them to you next week.”
Ji Ho looked at Lee Soo as he received the money.
“Are you going home now?”
“Yes.”
Lee Soo made a goodbye gesture and was about to turn around.
“Wait a minute, Lee Soo.”
“Why?”
“I’ve been waiting for you this whole time.”
“What?”
Lee Soo looked at Ji Ho with a face that asked what he was talking about.
I thought you were studying.
“There’s a place I want to go with you. I’ve waited until you go home.”
“Then you should have told me in advance. It’s been 5 hours.”
“Would you have listened if I told you? You would have refused because you had to study.”
Lee Soo couldn’t say anything because his words were not particularly wrong.
“Am I right?”
Ji Ho asked with a beaming smile.
Over the past few days, Ji Ho had only watched from afar as Lee Soo studied every day in the library.
It was a pretty good time just watching Lee Soo, who studied in the same place until 10 o’clock.
He wanted to take her home, but he pretended not to know because it was too obvious that she would refuse with a difficult face.
“So where are you going at this time?”
Lee Soo could not say no to Ji Ho, who had been waiting until now.
There was no excuse to make since he said he was going home.
“You’ll know when we get there.”
“Do you know it’s past 10 o’clock now?”
“Yes. The later, the better.”
Ji Ho seemed to have no intention of telling where he was.
Lee Soo, with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, tilted his head.
As Lee Soo stood still without moving immediately, Ji Ho, who had lowered his head slightly in front of Lee Soo’s face, spoke with a smile.
“You said you’d do your best. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“Do you plan to pay me back the same way this time?”
“I’ll try my best.”
Lee Soo, who remembered the words he had promised to Ji Ho, let out a small laugh.
He was embarrassed and sorry because he hadn’t done anything for him after all this talk.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten.”
Lee Soo didn’t know what Ji Ho’s best meant, but he couldn’t refuse.
If he gave me a chance to do my best, I would gladly do it.
((()))((()))
The place they arrived at about 20 minutes later by car was the Yeouido National Assembly Dock parking lot.
“Let’s get off.”
As Ji Ho got out of the driver’s seat and came around to the front, Lee Soo first opened the passenger door.
“Leave the bag in the car and get off.”
“No. I’m going straight home.”
He wanted to avoid going home together after coming back to the car.
“You said you’d do your best.”
Ha! That sound again.
Ji Ho put Lee Soo’s bag in the passenger seat and closed the door.
Lee Soo had no choice but to leave her bag and follow Ji Ho.
Soon, Yun Jungro, where cherry blossom trees in full bloom stood in line, came out.
“We’re here. It’s here.”
“Don’t tell me you came all the way here to see cherry blossoms at this time?”
Lee Soo looked at Ji Ho with wide eyes.
“Yes. Cherry blossoms are really pretty at night.”
He refused to go with Ara and Dong Woo during the day, but in the end, he came here with Ji Ho at night.
Was it fate to hold a cherry blossom festival this year?
“Here, I wanted to come with you.”
Ji Ho looked at Lee Soo with a big smile.
Lee Soo couldn’t take her eyes off Ji Ho, who was smiling more brightly than the scattered cherry blossoms.

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
