I was momentarily flustered, but quickly regained my composure and sternly warned Yu-hee-na to keep her mouth shut before sending her off to class.
There was no way I could let a rumor about me liking Seon Woo-jin spread.
Watching Yu-hee-na’s retreating figure, I muttered to myself.
“……She really doesn’t listen to others.”
Just like last time, this time too.
She had a natural talent for fabricating events.
[You’ve become friends with Hee-na now! +_+]The suddenly appearing system was cluelessly happy about it.
‘Friends with Yu-hee-na.’
No matter how I thought about it, it only gave me a bad feeling…
Considering that ‘Lee Joo-eun’ in the original work was also Yu-hee-na’s friend, this was definitely a red flag.
Wait. Now that I think about it, aren’t I faithfully following the original route?
‘…….’
It really seemed that way.
‘……Am I really going to end up getting beaten up and hospitalized by Seol Yoo-hwa?’
A sense of crisis hit me.
Although it seemed a bit strange, I was effectively following the original route to a tee.
That meant I had to reconsider the fate of ‘Lee Joo-eun’ in the original work.
In the original story, ‘Lee Joo-eun’ was a friend of the villain Yu-hee-na, who framed the protagonist for theft under Yu-hee-na’s command.
Yu-hee-na, being a rich girl, often carried expensive things, which she would place in the protagonist’s bag and then accuse the protagonist of stealing.
However, the protagonist’s cleverness exposed the plot, and eventually, ‘Lee Joo-eun’ was dealt with by the angry protagonist.
The extra ‘Lee Joo-eun’ finally got a line when it was time for her exit…
What did she say?
“It wasn’t me!”
That’s right. Lee Joo-eun’s last words were a cliché villain line.
When I first read it, I couldn’t believe it.
‘How could it not be you? You’re the only one who would do such a thing.’
But now, my thoughts have changed.
What if Lee Joo-eun didn’t want to do it but was forced? What if she was another victim caught in Yu-hee-na’s tyranny?
‘……I’m in trouble.’
This meant staying quiet wouldn’t solve anything.
It was a real crisis. No matter how many happy endings I secure for others, what’s the point if I’m heading towards a bad ending?
‘Then there’s only one way.’
I need to quickly pair up Seol Yoo-bin and Ji Seung-hyun.
If Seol Yoo-hwa doesn’t come, I won’t have to worry about this.
‘Okay, starting today, I’m Seol Yoo-bin’s best friend.’
I clenched my fist in determination.
[Fighting, Joo-eun! 〉ㅁ〈]With the system’s cheer, I entered the health room with confidence.
‘Is Yoo-bin inside?’
This health room, unlike Lee Yeon-ho’s, only had one bed.
If Yoo-bin hadn’t left while I was chatting with Yu-hee-na, she would probably be there.
‘Alright, I’m ready. Let’s go.’
After mentally preparing myself, I walked towards the bed.
Carefully, I pulled back the curtain.
“Hey… are you awake?”
And I saw it.
Seol Yoo-bin, with reddened eyes, dripping tears, clutching her phone.
“…….”
“…….”
I closed the curtain right back.
‘……Why is she crying?’
Walking back to class from the health room, I was deep in thought.
‘Was the person on the phone Ji Seung-hyun?’
Probably. There aren’t many people who could make Yoo-bin react so emotionally.
Yoo-bin’s sobbing figure kept haunting my thoughts.
‘Somehow… I feel a bit sorry for her.’
Truthfully, I hadn’t had entirely positive feelings towards Yoo-bin.
In the original story, she was a foolish child who resented and tried to harm her only sister over a guy.
But seeing someone cry in front of me, my heart couldn’t help but lean towards Yoo-bin.
‘Ah, what’s Seung-hyun to her.’
Of course, as the sub-male lead of the original story, he must have his charms… but is he worth pining over? There are plenty of guys in the world.
‘Yoo-bin, all that is pointless.’
Although I’m not the protagonist, as an observer, I genuinely felt sorry for Seol Yoo-bin.
Then, the bell for the end of the class rang.
‘Oops, I need to hurry.’
I erased all thoughts about Yoo-bin from my mind and hurried back to my classroom.
Sitting blankly in class, the day eventually turned into after-school hours.
“Did the talk go well?”
I instinctively returned to the second health room, where Seong Ji-chan was. I cheerfully replied.
“Totally screwed up.”
“Huh?”
Seong Ji-chan said something else, but I was so out of it that I didn’t catch it. I quickly gathered my things and trudged out.
Another day ended with nothing gained.
“Ah.”
I felt drained.
I thought I had been productive today, but all I learned was that the relationship between Yoo-bin and Ji Seung-hyun was worse than I thought.
Is that even an accomplishment?
I could clearly see that my path ahead wouldn’t be smooth.
‘And maybe Yoo-bin now thinks weirdly of me.’
Why did I open that curtain without asking?
Who would like to show their crying face to others? I wouldn’t like it either.
It seems I made a mistake. Should I apologize later?
“Sigh.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
