“Shouldn’t the male lead recognize her immediately in situations like this?”

Not being able to recognize the uniqueness of the female lead at a glance… Sung Jichan, you’re disqualified as a male lead.

I felt somewhat disappointed. I sighed.

“Never mind. Let’s drop the subject.”

“What? Why are you suddenly like this!”

Sung Jichan protested with a bewildered expression, but I casually ignored him.

While having such a small conversation, Seol Yuhwa’s treatment had already come to an end. Yeonho, who had attached a knife to the back of Seol Yuhwa’s hand, cheerfully said,

“All done!”

As someone who had been through many injuries from fights, Yeonho’s treatment was top-notch. Seol Yuhwa inspected the gauze and knives attached to various parts of her body as if surprised, then nodded her head.

“Thank you.”

“Oh, come on. Forget about it.”

Yeonho scratched the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“But why did you get hurt so suddenly?”
Seol Yuhwa bowed her head and tightly sealed her lips. Although her exact feelings were unclear, it seemed like something she didn’t want to reveal to others. Whether Yeonho noticed this or not, instead of asking further, he lightly patted Seol Yuhwa’s shoulder.

“Alright. Well… you don’t have to say anything. If you ever need help, just let me know.”

For once, he really seemed like a teacher. I suddenly felt that Yeonho was an adult.

At that moment, sensing my gaze on him, Yeonho suddenly wore an excited expression. Why does he look so pleased… maybe because he likes her so much? … Perhaps it’s because they’re relatives. The term ‘adult’ is now canceled.

“Well then, I’ll go.”

Seol Yuhwa rose from her chair to leave the infirmary.

“Y-Yubin!”

At my call, Seol Yuhwa turned around. I awkwardly smiled and greeted her.

“Okay, take care. See you next time.”

Seol Yuhwa stared at me for a moment, then nodded slightly.

With that, Seol Yuhwa left the infirmary.

Only familiar faces remained in the infirmary.

“Aren’t you going?”

I was momentarily lost in thought but snapped back to reality at Sung Jichan’s words.

“Ah… yeah.”

Anyway, I decided to skip this class altogether since I was already skipping one. Attendance… well, it should sort itself out.

‘If things go wrong, I’ll go for the early admission.’

Life is originally about that one college entrance exam. Whether it’s before or after transmigration, I am destined to walk the path of early admission…

No, this is not the time for that.

“Oh, right. By the way, do you know why Yuhee and Oh didn’t come to school today?”

“Huh? Oh… yeah…”

Sung Jichan glanced at the calendar and said.

“They’re probably at the hospital.”

“Hospital?”

“Yeah. Around this time, Yuhee usually starts feeling unwell.”

According to Sung Jichan’s explanation, Yuhee periodically gets hospitalized due to her weak health. It’s not a particular illness… I’m not sure about the details. I’m just speculating that it’s a setting like that.

“If you have time, you should visit the hospital too. Yuhee will probably like it.”

“Are you not going?”

“I will. If I don’t, I’ll hear some nonsense again.”

Sung Jichan chuckled. Despite this and that, there was certainly a sense of camaraderie between Sung Jichan and Yuhee. It’s not love, but something like a bond that exists between people who have spent a long time together.

‘Anyway, I really should pay a visit.’

Now that Sung Jichan and Seol Yuhwa have met, the original story is about to begin, and it’s only a matter of time before Yuhee turns dark. Before that happens, it might be necessary to check her condition.

“But has Yuhee been hospitalized for a long time?”

“No? She’ll probably be discharged in a few days.”

…Hmm. Maybe she’ll be discharged before I get there. I should go quickly today. Otherwise, she might say something like she came to see me.

I obtained information from Sung Jichan about the hospital where Yuhee was admitted. It didn’t seem too far, so I thought I could easily visit today.

Now, what should I bring as a gift for the hospital visit…

At that moment, the bell signaling the end of the class rang.

“Oh, I should go now.”

I said, and Sung Jichan asked me with a puzzled expression.

“Aren’t you going to attend class?”
“Of course. You should attend classes too.”

“I can’t. I’m in too much pain right now, and I really don’t feel like sitting through a lecture.”

Sung Jichan, who looked healthier than anyone else in this place, said. I clicked my tongue.

“Stop fighting and go to class.”

“I don’t want to either, but those guys from Haeseong High School won’t let me go. Because of someone.”

It silences me again.

Come to think of it, I haven’t heard that Sung Jichan attacked first. Hm. It seems like even the leader of the delinquents has his own troubles.

“Well, do as you wish. Anyway, see you later.”

I finished my farewell and left the infirmary.

‘Those Haeseong High School guys have gotten worse lately…’

It seems like what I did is affecting things. I should move more cautiously from now on.

‘Let’s find a different approach to getting close to Ryu Taegun.’

After finishing my thoughts, I opened the classroom door.

For a moment, everyone’s attention focused on me.

Huh.

Is it class time now? …No, it’s not.

Is it really worth paying so much attention when people come in during break time?

Baffled by the sudden concentrated gaze, someone shouted from behind.

“Jueun! Where were you!”

Huh?

Turning around, there was Ban Hamin, holding his waist and puffing up his cheeks from behind.

…Oh my.

I completely forgot.

Feeling dizzy, I touched my forehead.
