I turned around to find Yu-hee-na glaring at me with her cheeks puffed up in anger.

Why is she here again?

I was no longer surprised or annoyed by these crazy developments in this insa story.

Oh, here we go again.

Always depending on such coincidences for the plot development. Isn’t it about time to get tired of this?

Having reached a state of enlightenment, I smiled benevolently.

Let’s see what she has to say…

“What’s with you? Why are you with Ji-chan?”

Ugh, a direct hit right from the start.

I closed my eyes tightly.

“Thinking back, you’ve been disappearing from the class frequently… Don’t tell me you’ve been with Ji-chan? What have you done? It’s not the first time you two have been together, right? Ah, I really can’t understand this. How could you do this? What exactly is your relationship? Don’t tell me you two are… that kind of relationship?”

Wait a minute! Saying it like that makes it sound so impure!

We’re not in any kind of relationship, but her framing it that way made it seem like there was something going on.

I urgently opened my mouth to speak, feeling like this could blow up into a major issue if I didn’t intervene.

I need to shut her up quickly!

But before I could get a word in, Yu-hee-na rapidly fired off her thoughts.

“Yeah, it’s been strange since last time. Those photos didn’t just happen for no reason. You’ve known each other from before, right? When did you meet behind my back? Did you deliberately hide it from me?”

Stop… Stop it!

Her high-pitched voice made it seem like my ears would bleed.

‘She talks so darn fast.’

I resisted the urge to cover my ears and said, half-smiling, half-crying,

“Wait, I think there’s some misunderstanding here.”

“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Are you saying that wasn’t Ji-chan earlier? You think I can’t recognize Ji-chan? Don’t even think about making excuses!”

What should I do… She’s not listening to me at all…

Yu-hee-na had clearly made up her mind to pin this on me.

I couldn’t let this misunderstanding continue.

First of all, I really have nothing to do with Seong Ji-chan.

And secondly, I didn’t want to get entangled with her and have another insa heroine experience!

In the original story, Yu-hee-na was a villain who tormented the heroine.

Every morning when Seol Yu-hwa came to school, Yu-hee-na openly picked on her, laughed at her, cursed her, and sometimes even hit her.

For instance, like this:

“Get lost!”

“Get your ugly face out of my sight. I feel like puking just looking at you.”

“Oh my, you match well with trash.”

It was really one-dimensional bullying.

By the way, in the original story, I was an extra who chimed in from the sidelines during such situations. Just a background role.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I wanted to be the bully. Even if I wasn’t headed for a bad ending, I had no intention of doing such things.

But I liked being the victim even less.

Especially knowing how Yu-hee-na might bully me.

Yu-hee-na hadn’t done anything too bad yet, and she didn’t seem like that kind of person… but who knows what the future holds?

I frantically racked my brain.

‘What to do? Telling the truth doesn’t seem like it would convince her.’

Yu-hee-na had already made up her mind and was confronting me.

So I had to come up with a plausible excuse.

‘It has to look completely unrelated to Seong Ji-chan.’

Then, a name suddenly crossed my mind.

“Seon Woo-jin!”

“What?”

Yu-hee-na was startled by my sudden exclamation. I quickly continued.

“Seon Woo-jin! I met him because of Seon Woo-jin. I owe him… well, not really owe, but anyway, I was indebted to him for something…”

The reason I mentioned Seon Woo-jin was simple. Firstly, it was true. Secondly, there was evidence to support it.

Even if Yu-hee-na doubted my words, there was plenty of evidence of me being Seon Woo-jin’s errand boy, making it easier to persuade her.

And Yu-hee-na’s only concern was Seong Ji-chan, so proving that it had nothing to do with Seong Ji-chan should solve the issue, right?
When I turned around, Yu-hee-na was glaring at me with her cheeks puffed up in anger.

Why is she here again?

I was no longer affected by these crazy plot developments in this insa story.

Here we go again.

Always depending on coincidences for plot twists. Isn’t it about time to get tired of this?

Reaching a state of enlightenment, I smiled gently.

Let’s hear what she has to say…

“What are you doing? Why are you with Ji-chan?”

A direct hit from the start.

I closed my eyes tightly.

“I’ve been wondering why you’ve been disappearing from class so often…, and now it turns out you were with Ji-chan? What were you doing? It’s not the first time you two have been together, right? Ah, I just can’t understand this. How could you do this? What exactly is your relationship? Don’t tell me you two are… in that kind of relationship?”

Wait! Describing it like that makes it sound so impure!

There’s no relationship between us, but her phrasing made it seem like there was something going on.
