In that hellish situation, the first one to open their mouth was Han Ye Won.

“Ha, this is really unbelievable.”

Han Ye Won seemed to have lost her steam from somewhere.

She alternately looked at me and Yoo Hee Na, frowning as if in disbelief.

“Looking at the state you’re in now, you won’t be able to talk properly anyway. Sung Ji Chan, let’s talk again later.”

With that, she left the rooftop.

Only Sung Ji Chan, Yoo Hee Na, and I remained on the rooftop.

“……”

“……”

“……”

I cautiously glanced at Yoo Hee Na.

Yoo Hee Na was glaring at me and Sung Ji Chan, huffing and puffing.

‘Oops.’

I quickly pulled my hand out of Sung Ji Chan’s grasp.

“You guys, seriously…!”

“Wait!”

I stretched out my hand forward.

“This is a misunderstanding. I can explain everything!”

“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding!”

After yelling like that, Yoo Hee Na poured out her words.

“I really trusted you! You said you liked Jin, so I deliberately made a chance for you two! How could you do this to me?”

Then, Sung Ji Chan, who was listening beside us, made an “Oh” sound and looked at me with amazed eyes.

‘That’s not it!’

I sent all sorts of signals with my expression, but Sung Ji Chan just shrugged his shoulders.

This guy?

Yoo Hee Na spoke with teary eyes.

“Were we not friends…? Was I the only one who thought we were friends…?”

Yes. You’re right that you were the only one who thought that… But looking at that face, I couldn’t bring myself to tell the truth. I calmly said,

“First, calm down and listen to me.”

Yoo Hee Na pursed her lips and nodded. I let out a deep sigh and began to explain.

“So, how this happened is…”

Huh? How did this really happen?

Come to think of it, I didn’t know what the situation was either. I glared at Sung Ji Chan.

Only then did Sung Ji Chan open his mouth.

“What? I, Sung Ji Chan, love Lee Ju Eun?”

“Do you want to die?”

Only after getting hit a few times did Sung Ji Chan finally start explaining properly.

“Ah, it hurts! Stop! Okay. It’s my fault! It’s my fault!”

So this was the situation.

After transferring to this school, Han Ye Won persistently followed Sung Ji Chan.

At first, Sung Ji Chan still had good feelings left for his ex-girlfriend Han Ye Won, so he tried to dissuade her with words and send her back.

But perhaps because of that, Han Ye Won couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings and increasingly crossed the line, and in the process, Sung Ji Chan’s remaining affection was completely shaken off.

So he ended up taking this special measure today.

Sung Ji Chan said in a nonchalant tone,

“I thought if I said I had a new girlfriend, she would give up.”

“But why did that new girlfriend have to be me of all people?”

“Just because? Because you were here?”

In short, I had the misfortune of stepping in shit while passing by.

If I had explained, she probably wouldn’t have believed me, but fortunately, Sung Ji Chan clarified it himself, so Yoo Hee Na quickly regained her composure.

“Ah, so that’s what it was!”

Yoo Hee Na smiled brightly.

‘It’s a relief that it ended with just this much.’

Seeing Yoo Hee Na’s face like that, I was genuinely relieved.

Sung Ji Chan said to Yoo Hee Na,

“But why are you here?”

“Me?”

Right. Why was Yoo Hee Na really here?

At Sung Ji Chan’s words, Yoo Hee Na turned her head to look at me.

“You had a letter in your locker today, right?”

Oh, how did she know that? I honestly nodded my head.

“I sent that.”

What?

“I couldn’t stand seeing you being bullied by your fan club.”

Yoo Hee Na began to explain.

“I’ve been watching you all this time, and I thought it was time for me to intervene. You didn’t want to keep being bullied either, right?”

“…Why were you watching me?”

“We agreed to be friends!”

It seemed that when she said she wanted to be friends back then, she was sincere. Yoo Hee Na said with a coy expression,

“Anyway, I was waiting to talk to you, but from before, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. I had the kids find out, and they said you were having a hard time because of Ban Ha Min?”

She seemed to be talking about when I was bullied by the fan club. She said she had been watching me since then. That means she saw almost everything from the beginning, right?

“So I was contemplating whether I should help you or not, but then the other kids even locked you up in the gym storage room? That’s when I immediately contacted Seon Woo Jin… The rest is like this.”

It seemed that last time when Yoo Hee Na helped me, it wasn’t a coincidence.

“But why did you send a letter?”

She could have just told me in person. I naturally thought it was a duel invitation. When I asked, Yoo Hee Na added an explanation.

“You always disappear somewhere during your free time. Rather than waiting for that, it’s better to just send a letter.”

It turned out that the reason the duel invitation arrived was because I wandered around here and there a lot during breaks to avoid the piercing gazes of the fan club members.

‘Come to think of it, I don’t even have Yoo Hee Na’s phone number…’

We bumped into each other so often that I assumed we naturally knew. I belatedly exchanged numbers with Yoo Hee Na. And also with Sung Ji Chan.

‘If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just done the quest back then.’

At this rate, it seemed like a matter of time before I exchanged numbers with all three of the Samae boys.

“Then from now on, you’re sticking with me?”

Yoo Hee Na said brightly,

“Now we’re the Four Heavenly Kings!”

I was seized by an indescribable, strange feeling.

“Wow.”

“Why do you have that face?”

“No… I’m just so happy.”

Me, really becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Unable to cry or laugh, I only let out a perplexed smile.

I’m diligently running towards the bad ending today too…

Yoo Hee Na said with a coy expression,

“Hmph, anyway, be grateful. Now that you’re with me, there won’t be any of that petty bullying.”

Knowing that in the original work, Yoo Hee Na led that ‘petty bullying,’ I felt strange.

Anyway, the rooftop situation was resolved like that.

“By the way, Chun Ja.”

As we were going down the stairs, Sung Ji Chan asked,

“Do you really like Seon Woo Jin?”

I calmly replied,

“Why would I like him.”

“You don’t have to be so serious about it.”

Fortunately, my true feelings were conveyed.

“But what should I do now?”

“Huh?”

“About Han Ye Won.”

Thinking back to that infuriating situation from earlier, I naturally frowned.

“Do I really have to pretend to be your girlfriend?”

Then Yoo Hee Na puffed out her cheeks and said sulkily,

“I’m against it.”

“I don’t want to do it either.”

When Yoo Hee Na and I stared at Sung Ji Chan, demanding an answer, he became lost in thought, humming.

“Maybe if we just hang out appropriately, Han Ye Won will give up on her own?”

Hearing that answer, I looked at Sung Ji Chan in disbelief.

“I noticed this since last time.”

“Huh?”

“You really live without any plans.”

I realized it since last time when he left me behind in the second infirmary and ran away.

At my words, Sung Ji Chan protested as if he was wronged, but I listened with one ear and let it out the other.

‘I need to make sure to explain it to Han Ye Won next time I see her.’

I can’t live a life being mistaken as Sung Ji Chan’s girlfriend.

‘I will definitely reunite Sung Ji Chan and Han Ye Won.’

I vowed to make Sung Ji Chan eat shit.

The next day.

When I arrived at school, the atmosphere in the class was somewhat strange.

‘It’s oddly quiet.’

I glanced around. A kid who made eye contact with me got startled and avoided my gaze.

‘Why are they so surprised?’

I felt something was off, but I couldn’t figure out what that sense of discomfort was.

‘Well, my desk seems intact.’

I went to the back of the classroom and also checked my locker.

‘It doesn’t seem like anyone touched this either.’

What is it? Did they change their methods now?

The bullying that had been going on for the past few days had completely disappeared.

‘Could this be the calm before the storm?’

I was able to find the answer to that question after Yoo Hee Na arrived at school.

“How is it? The kids have quieted down now, right?”

…You did it?

Yoo Hee Na looked at me with sparkling eyes like an elementary school student expecting praise. I smiled awkwardly.

‘It was completely resolved overnight. Is this the power of the Four Heavenly Kings…?’

As expected, the power of the original work’s villainess was incredible. I should be careful not to mess with Yoo Hee Na from now on.

Anyway, thanks to Yoo Hee Na, I went from being an unofficial outcast to a delinquent follower…

Is this really a good thing? Well, at least my body is at ease now.

‘Well, what’s good is good.’

Occasionally, the fan club members would glare at me and pass by, looking resentful, but I was used to that degree now and it didn’t even itch.

Like that, my life quickly stabilized again.

And Seon Woo Jin was also part of that stabilized life.

‘…Why am I with him again?’

By the time I had that question, I was already too naturally doing Seon Woo Jin’s homework in an empty classroom.

‘I’ve become so used to it that I couldn’t even think it was strange.’

Come to think of it, maybe the person I’ve been with the most after possessing this body was Seon Woo Jin…

Thinking like that, I felt a strange familiarity toward Seon Woo Jin. I lifted my head and sent a gaze to Seon Woo Jin, who was sitting far away. Feeling my gaze, Seon Woo Jin took his eyes off the game console and looked at me. Then he moved his lips.

‘What.’

…He seemed to be saying.

‘Familiarity canceled.’

I lowered my head again and did the homework.

As I was doing homework like that, I started to feel sleepy. Perhaps because of the weather that had become noticeably warmer these days, the air was soft and my body felt more drowsy. I yawned and dozed off.

And when I came to my senses, I was sleeping with my face resting on the desk.

‘…Huh?’

Suddenly, I was wide awake.

‘When did I fall asleep?’

As I was rubbing my eyes and yawning, I suddenly felt like my shoulders were heavy. Without thinking, I brought my hand to my shoulder.

What I grabbed was the sleeve of a male school uniform.

“…Huh?”

Whose is this?

At the same time as that thought, a person’s name flashed through my mind. With the sleeve in my hand, I lifted my head.

Seon Woo Jin was sitting across from me at some point.
