It could be because she’s worried.

‘Love is truly great.’

I thought gloomily and attended the class.

When the break time came, Yuhui disappeared as soon as the bell rang.

‘Where did she go again?’

Well, it’s none of my business about others’ private lives. Actually, I’m just bored. I don’t have any friends…

‘I suddenly feel like crying.’

I shed imaginary tears and worked on solving a math problem filled with sadness.

Around the time I finally solved the problem that had me stuck.

‘But why isn’t Yuhui back yet?’

It’s slowly time for the class to start…

I glanced at the clock and tilted my head.

At that moment, just as tigers never betray their nature, I received a message from Yuhui.

[I’ll go to the hospital first! Jichan is worried!]

Oh well.

‘Well, that makes sense.’
If Yuhina goes, where else would she go? Naturally, she’ll be by Sung Jichan’s side.

Even so, she left without even looking back, leaving her bag behind. I didn’t expect her to leave like this.

‘She should really break free from Sung Jichan as soon as possible.’

I sighed and closed my phone again.

Anyway, for that reason, Yuhina left. She probably had to go to the hospital alone.

‘Today seems like I’ll be alone all day.’

Lonely, truly.

After being reincarnated, there was always at least one person by my side, so it always felt lively. Now that everyone is gone, it feels strange. I must have become quite accustomed to hanging out with the kids.

‘Wait, isn’t Sunwoo Jin at school?’

Yuhina left, and Banhamin hasn’t returned from the trip yet, but as far as I remember, there was no mention of Sunwoo Jin skipping school today.

‘Let’s invite him to come along.’

Even if he’s Sunwoo Jin, a friend, he’d probably visit someone in the hospital, right? Although Yuhina didn’t want to go during her turn…

‘Let’s send a message first.’

I took out my phone again and sent a message to Sunwoo Jin.

[Where are you right now?]

And of course.

There was no reply.

‘No, seriously?’

It’s not a big deal to be ignored for a day or two, but is it because I lack training that I get pissed off every time it happens?

No, Sunwoo Jin is just a bad guy. I grumbled and sent another message. Instead of calling, I chose to send a message in case I turned off my phone altogether.

[Heard that Sung Jichan was hospitalized?]

There was no reply to this one either.

‘Surely he’s not skipping school and sleeping at home or something, right?’

No, that won’t do. I need to find him.

In the meantime, the bell indicating the start of the class rang. I anticipated lunchtime and put my phone in my bag.

Time passed.

The bell rang again.

‘He still hasn’t replied.’

Could his phone be turned off? Worried, I tried calling, and the signal went through. But still, he didn’t pick up.

And then, it was lunchtime. It was much better to look around during break time than during the class.

I didn’t hesitate and went out of the classroom.

‘Now, let’s find Sunwoo Jin.’

I thought of a place where Sunwoo Jin might be in my mind.

Originally, the most likely place would be the second health room, but… since Yeonho went on a trip with Banhamin, it was highly likely to be locked. The key to the health room would probably be with Sung Jichan.

‘Where else could he be?’

While thinking about it, I suddenly realized.

‘I surprisingly don’t know much about Sunwoo Jin.’

Even though I thought we had become quite close. Come to think of it, besides the usual banter, we never had any special conversations. Of course, it was partly because I unconsciously kept my distance.

‘I intentionally didn’t want to get closer.’

After all, I’m someone who will return to the original world.

It’s hard to say goodbye when you get attached. So, I tried not to get too involved.
As I pondered such thoughts, I suddenly became curious.

‘But what happens to this world if I return to the original world? Will it disappear? That can’t be the case.’

I called the system.

[Did you call me? ㅇ_ㅇ]

“I have something I’m curious about.”

[Please tell me! ^0^]

“If I return to the original world, what happens to this world? It’s not going to disappear, is it?”

Upon hearing this, the system seemed to think for a moment, displayed ‘…….’ as if pondering something, and soon provided an answer.

[This world exists independently of you, Jueun-nim! Therefore, it won’t disappear!]

It won’t disappear. Somehow, I felt relieved.

‘Ah, I see. This place is also a ‘world.”

Until now, I had only been concerned about the ‘insignificant’ world, but realizing again that this place is also a ‘world’ felt strange.

A world that exists independently of me.

A world where there is no problem even if I’m not here.

“Then, if I happen to return to the original world, what happens to me in the eyes of others?”

After thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth again.

“Do I just vanish?”

The system responded.

[I will slightly tamper with the memories of other people! Don’t worry! Memories of Jueun-nim will be neatly erased! ㅇ_〈]

Upon hearing that, I couldn’t say anything.

So, does my existence become a completely ‘non-existent event’ in this world?

Strangely, I found myself disliking that idea.
