What? A fight?

The buzzing of the kids grew as Banhamin arrived, similar to when he entered. Some students were either curious to witness it or left the classroom altogether.

“Woong. Who’s fighting?”

Banhamin smirked.

Most had similar reactions to Banhamin, not knowing what was happening and exchanging glances.

But I instinctively felt that something was wrong.

I rose from my seat.

“Hey, Jooeuna? Where are you going?”

Ignoring Banhamin’s call, I headed straight to the girls’ restroom.

‘Could it be…?’

Sure enough, outside the girls’ restroom, there were already onlookers.

I lifted my heels to peek inside. And at the moment of confirmation, everything seemed dizzying.

As expected. My intuition was not wrong.

‘Darn it. It’s Seyu Hwa.’

Inside the restroom, Seyu Hwa and those from her class were fighting.

Judging by the ponytail, they were likely the same gang from the previous incident. Whether it was a result of a previous brawl or not, the kids stood defiantly in disarray.

“Heh heh…”

Seyu Hwa, with disheveled hair, chuckled ominously.

“Heh, done… It’s nothing much.”

Since the last time, I couldn’t help but notice that her laughter was strange.

The female lead’s laughter was indeed extraordinary.

“What did you say?”

“Hey, say that again!”

The kids were playing their roles as excellent third-rate villain extras.

Seeing Seyu Hwa mainly using words to provoke, judging by the relatively unscathed appearance of the ponytail gang, it seemed she was more inclined to verbal taunts.

Well, if the top-ranked person in the world personally engaged in a physical fight, it would be a balance breakdown.

‘But why did they fight this time?’

To understand the situation, I glanced around.

This could be inferred by listening to what other kids were saying.

So, summarizing the situation, it was like this.

In an attempt to torment Seyu Hwa, the ponytail gang sprayed water in the stall where she was. However, as expected, Seyu Hwa did not take it quietly; instead, she counterattacked the kids. This gradually escalated into a big fight.

‘…Well, they fought because there was a fight worth fighting.’

It wasn’t particularly surprising. After all, Seyu Hwa wouldn’t have initiated the attack, so it was only natural.

‘Let’s see how it unfolds for now.’

It seemed better to wait and observe instead of rashly intervening to understand if the kid Seyu Hwa targeted was not an easy opponent.

Sweeping her wet bangs away, Ponytail confidently spoke up.

“Seyu Bin, are you really insane? Did you eat something bad? Why are you like this these days?”

If she feels strange, why she changed, she may not know… I resisted the urge to make a snide remark.

“Wouldn’t it be better to cringe like you did in the past? Why are you getting cocky?”

“… In the past?”

“Yeah, the past!”

Ponytail put her hands on her hips and said, “Not too long ago, you were a pathetic loser who couldn’t even talk to me!”

I reflexively checked Seyu Hwa’s reaction.
Seol Yuhwa remained silent, just lowering her head. In response, Ponytail seemed more spirited and mocked her.

“You used to not know what to do just by meeting my eyes… Do you really believe in something now? Huh, you loser!”

From the gang’s perspective, whether it was the current “Seol Yubin” or the past one, they were the same person, so they might not understand the issue. However, for someone who knew the truth, I became quite uneasy.

Just now, what she said was a derogatory comment about Yuhwa’s “sister.”

‘Isn’t that even more irritating to her?’

I looked at Yuhwa with worried eyes.

“What did you say…?”

As expected, Yuhwa’s expression changed.

“Repeat what you just said.”

If until now she seemed relaxed, her face was now completely angry.

A situation on the verge of eruption. The atmosphere tensed again.

‘Wait a minute. What happens if Yuhwa explodes here?’

In the original work, Yuhwa did retaliate against the kids, but she never completely turned the situation upside down. She turned “Lee Jueun” into a supporting character for eight weeks, but it wasn’t done openly in front of the kids; it was handled secretly outside the school.

‘If Yuhwa reveals her true identity here, will it end as abruptly as in the original?’

Then what about my happy ending?

Yuhwa hasn’t even met Seong Jichan yet.

If it ends now, what if I can’t go back to my original world?

I suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

‘No more variables!’

Before Yuhwa could cross the line, I urgently shouted.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

The onlookers’ gazes all focused on me.

‘Huh.’

This wasn’t the plan.

Although I shouted without thinking, I didn’t expect to attract this much attention.

It was embarrassing, but I pretended to be nonchalant and calmly waited for the next situation.

“What’s going on?”

“Why is he interfering?”

“I don’t know. Let’s just move aside for now.”

The kids exchanged whispers among themselves and then subtly moved, creating a path in front of me. As if the audience was splitting into two, like a miracle.

…Something’s off.
