In the sudden silence, Sung Ji-chan looked around bewildered.

“What’s with this atmosphere? Why did it change so suddenly?”

However, no one spoke; it seemed impossible for anyone to speak.

I, too, just observed the situation in the tense air.

‘I wonder if Sung Ji-chan’s memory froze during the time with Jinhae-yul.’

My head throbbed, and I felt like touching my forehead.

I thought the memory loss incident could pass calmly, but I didn’t expect such a complication to be waiting.

I clenched my teeth and watched the situation.

In this awkward atmosphere, Yuheena was the first to speak.

“Ji-chan!”

Yuheena, with a face that couldn’t hide her confusion, tried to smile and said, “I… have something to say, can you come out for a moment?”

“Huh? Something to say?”

Sung Ji-chan raised an eyebrow.

“Okay, talk about it later. But where’s Jinhae-yul?”

“Ji-chan!”

Yuheena almost screamed.

“I want to talk right now! I really want to!”

Sung Ji-chan, surprisingly, looked slightly taken aback.

“Oh, really? Then go ahead. I’m listening.”

“No! I can’t talk about it in front of others!”

Yuheena desperately tried to change the subject, and it was tearful to watch.

‘Hang in there, Yuheena.’

I looked at Yuheena, who was leading Sung Ji-chan out of the health room, with a poignant gaze.

In the end, Yuheena succeeded in taking Sung Ji-chan outside.

‘I wonder what kind of conversation they’ll have.’

I sighed and assessed the situation.

The health room they left became cold.

Sunwoo-jin and Banhamin also didn’t say anything, their faces stern. The sinking atmosphere. It seemed like the first time I saw them in such a serious state. I watched their reactions and cautiously opened my mouth.

“Um… I’m going.”

Only then did Sunwoo-jin seem to come to his senses and looked up.

“Go with me.”

“Huh? Sure.”

I didn’t expect a response like that. Trying not to show my surprise, I greeted Banhamin.

“See you later.”

“Yeah, goodbye.”

Banhamin gave a somewhat sad smile.

Sunwoo-jin and I, who came out of the health room, moved our feet to go to the classroom.

Perhaps because of what happened earlier, Sunwoo-jin walked with me, lost in thought and remained silent.

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, I spoke first.

“Hey… do you have anything to participate in the sports festival?”

Only then did Sunwoo-jin turn his head to look at me.

“Sports festival?”

“Yeah, it’s coming up.”

It was a bit off-topic, but I deliberately brought up a completely unrelated subject from before.

‘If we talk about something entirely different, the atmosphere might improve a bit.’

Fortunately, my intention seemed to work, as Sunwoo-jin’s serious expression softened a bit.

“I’m not participating. Why?”

It wasn’t a surprising answer. He’s lazier than me, so there’s no way he would participate in such a troublesome event.

I gave a casual response.
“No, well. Everyone’s going crazy these days. The school atmosphere is weird too. Just in case.”

The weather must have cleared, and exams must be over. Around May, the school becomes chaotic, and now was the perfect time.

‘This is the time when kids go crazy.’

Even in the original world, around this time, students were restless due to various events like sports festivals, festivals, school trips, etc. Of course, my school didn’t have such things.

Sunwoo-jin said, “Do you like those things too?”

There was a somewhat suspicious look in his eyes, as if saying, ‘I doubt it.’

…You seem to understand me too well.

“It’s a bit bothersome…”

Since I didn’t participate in any activities, I had nothing to say and trailed off.

“But still, if you’re good at sports, it’s cool. I’m not good, though.”

Sunwoo-jin raised an eyebrow.

“Cool?”

I rolled my eyes.

“Probably cool, right…?”

I just said something to continue the conversation, but it came out like that, and I didn’t know how to respond. It would probably be cool. If you’re good at something, it’s usually considered cool, even if it’s not sports.

“Yeah. Since it’s cool, why don’t you try something?”

I mumbled something and ended the conversation vaguely.

As we chatted, we had almost arrived in front of the new teacher’s classroom. Before going back to our respective classrooms, Sunwoo-jin greeted me.

“See you later.”

Later? Oh, right, we agreed to go home together.

I nodded and went into my classroom.

After that, surprisingly, nothing much happened.

I don’t know the specifics of how, but Sung Ji-chan seemed to have calmed down again, maybe thanks to Yuheena. Of course, there were no questions about Jinhae-yul, but he hadn’t recovered his memory.

During that time, I continued to stick with Sunwoo-jin. Thanks to that, no one bothered me at all.

“Why are they always together?”

“This time, it seems like Ice Boy has become Chic Boy.”

“A love triangle?”

There were strange misunderstandings, but…

So, a few days passed.

“…He seems to have changed his character a bit since losing his memory.”

I looked at Sung Ji-chan, who was excitedly shouting in front of his class, and said. Sunwoo-jin asked, “What do you mean?”
