It seemed that Sung Ji Chan had forgotten too many things after injuring his head.

“My girlfriend…”

Sung Ji Chan looked at me arrogantly, as if appraising me from top to bottom.

‘Has this bastard finally gone crazy?’

I always thought he was annoying, but the 16-year-old Sung Ji Chan was twice as annoying as I remembered. He didn’t seem like it, but his usual self must have been a bit more mature.

“Are you really my girlfriend?”

Sung Ji Chan tilted his head.

“Did my taste change in a year?”

No, this guy?

Come to think of it, he told me last time that I wasn’t his type. I thought he was just being stubborn, but hearing him now, it seems he was serious.

Anyway, it was fortunate that he was questioning it himself.

‘Let’s make it clear this time.’

I boldly declared.

“I’m not your girlfriend.”

At that, the surroundings became noisy.

“Oh my gosh.”

“She’s trying to pretend she doesn’t know.”

“Still, he’s her boyfriend, that’s too much.”

Why do people at this damned school never take what someone says at face value?

‘Damn them…’

I glanced around. If I kept talking here, it seemed like strange rumors would only increase. Moreover, who knows what nonsense Sung Ji Chan would spout next.

It would be better to change locations.

Feeling a throbbing headache, I grabbed Sung Ji Chan.

“You, come out for a moment.”

I dragged Sung Ji Chan to the second infirmary, almost grabbing him by the collar. The kids around us murmured and made way.

Surprisingly, Sung Ji Chan obediently followed me.

There were already other kids in the infirmary, as if they had heard the news.

“Chun Ja!”

Ban Ha Min, who ran out first, clung to me, crying profusely.

“Chun Ja, I missed you! I heard something big happened while I was gone!”

It was truly moving to see him sobbing and snotting because of me… but somehow I felt extremely tired.

I sighed and pushed Ban Ha Min away.

“Now’s not the time for that. Something bigger than me happened.”

“Gasp, that’s right. Chani Chani!”

Ban Ha Min belatedly approached Sung Ji Chan with a surprised face.

Then Sung Ji Chan smiled and greeted him.

“Hey, Ban Ha Min.”

“Chana!”

Ban Ha Min grabbed Sung Ji Chan’s hand and spoke with desperate sincerity.

“Chani Chani, is it true that you lost your memory?”

“I don’t know. That’s what they say?”

The person with memory loss, Sung Ji Chan, was indifferent. Ban Ha Min shouted in a panicked voice.

“This can’t be! You forgot all our memories together? How could you!”

Regardless, Sung Ji Chan calmly said.

“But am I really 17 years old? You guys aren’t conspiring to trick me, are you?”

So that’s what he was thinking…

Well, he’s the boss of the delinquents, so his mentality isn’t ordinary. I sighed and turned my head.

Looking inside the infirmary, Seon Woo Jin was already there. Maybe Yoo Hee Na contacted him. I naturally approached him.

“Seon Woo Jin.”

Seon Woo Jin, who was sitting on Lee Yeon Ho’s desk showing off his long legs, raised his head and looked at me.

“You’re here.”

“Yeah.”

There was a brief silence.

Seon Woo Jin pointed to Sung Ji Chan with his chin.

“What’s the bastard’s condition right now?”

I shook my head from side to side.

“He’s lost it.”

“Lost it how?”

“He thinks I’m his girlfriend.”

Seon Woo Jin frowned.

“What nonsense is that now?”

I explained the whole story. The strange rumors spreading at school and Sung Ji Chan hearing them from the kids.

Even to Seon Woo Jin’s ears, it seemed absurd, as he openly showed his displeasure.

“Living life, I’m really going through all sorts of things.”

You’re telling me…

I sighed and stood next to Seon Woo Jin.

There was nothing to say, so I just watched Sung Ji Chan and Ban Ha Min chatting. Ban Ha Min was still ranting about how this could happen, and Sung Ji Chan was calmly observing.

And far away, Yoo Hee Na was looking at Sung Ji Chan with a sad face.

‘She looks like a tragic female lead.’

Come to think of it, aren’t there many stories like that? Where the male lead loses his memory and can’t recognize the female lead, hurting her. And the villainess takes advantage of the situation to try to steal the male lead.

‘So Yoo Hee Na is the female lead and I’m the villainess?’

Oh, that really sucks.

I hope Sung Ji Chan regains his memory as soon as possible. So I don’t have to think such ridiculous thoughts.

I looked at Sung Ji Chan with bitter, cold eyes.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a gaze on my face. I raised my head and Seon Woo Jin was staring at me intently.

“What, why are you looking at me?”

“Because I want to.”

Seon Woo Jin said arrogantly.

“Can’t I?”

He was the one who said something embarrassing, but he was so confident that I was the one getting flustered.

“No… there’s no reason you can’t.”

In a free democratic country, how could I control Seon Woo Jin?

‘Yeah, do whatever you want.’

I tried to ignore the sharp gaze I felt on my face.

After some time passed like that, I raised my head again and Seon Woo Jin was looking somewhere else. I asked without thinking.

“Not looking anymore?”

“I’m done looking.”

Is he really crazy?

I was dumbfounded and opened my mouth to say something.

At that moment, Sung Ji Chan intervened.

“What, aren’t you my girlfriend? Are you cheating on me?”

Where do I even begin to correct this?

The sentence is wrong from beginning to end, so I don’t even know what to point out or how.

‘I’m going crazy, really.’

I decided to clear up the most urgent misunderstanding first.

“Sung Ji Chan, listen carefully. I’m not your girlfriend.”

Then Sung Ji Chan refuted.

“The kids all said so? That you and I are dating.”

“That’s a false rumor.”

“Really? Then is it also fake that you’re rank 0 in the world?”

He heard that too…

I should probably find a way to clarify to all the students soon. If I leave the rumors unchecked like this, something big will definitely happen. No, has it already happened?

I firmly nodded my head.

“Yes, that’s a false rumor too.”

“Really?”

Sung Ji Chan said with a disappointed face.

“That’s boring.”

“…”

Someone is suffering because of that, and all you have to say is that it’s boring? I glared at Sung Ji Chan, feeling annoyed.

Anyway, although a big incident of memory loss occurred, Sung Ji Chan was more sane and carefree than expected, so the conversation flowed as usual.

We talked with Sung Ji Chan and tested how much of his memory remained.

First, Sung Ji Chan thought he was currently 16 years old.

“I finally ended it completely yesterday.”

And it was right after breaking up with Han Ye Won.

Seeing his wistful eyes while talking about Han Ye Won, it seemed this Sung Ji Chan still had lingering feelings for her. Yoo Hee Na looked gloomy seeing that.

I patted Yoo Hee Na’s shoulder to comfort her.

Second, Sung Ji Chan had no memory at all after age sixteen.

“Do you really not remember anything?”

“Yeah, I don’t.”

Sung Ji Chan pondered seriously for a moment.

“You guys aren’t tricking me, right? You’re not all borrowing uniforms and pretending to be high school students?”

It seemed he still couldn’t let go of that hypothesis.

Lastly, third, Sung Ji Chan didn’t particularly want to regain his memories.

“I’m not really curious. I’m sure I was living well on my own, anyway.”

That was his answer to the question of whether he was curious about his 17-year-old self.

Ban Ha Min shouted upon hearing that.

“Don’t talk about our precious memories of the past year like they’re nothing!”

Then he ran out crying. As always, he was truly an emotionally rich kid.

Sung Ji Chan didn’t seem to have any intention of following him, simply shrugging his shoulders.

Anyway, I came to a conclusion.

“Looking at it this way… it doesn’t seem as serious as I thought?”

Seon Woo Jin nodded at my words. He said nonchalantly.

“Who cares if Sung Ji Chan loses his memory or not.”

“This bastard Seon Woo Jin is still an asshole even after a year.”

Listening to the heartwarming conversation between friends, I spoke to Yoo Hee Na.

“Ah, but what did the doctor say?”

“Doctor?”

“Didn’t they say anything like when his memory will return?”

Yoo Hee Na slightly tilted her head as if pondering.

“Hmm… they said to just leave him and it will come back on its own.”

What an irresponsible thing to say.

But well, there was nothing more to say. It’s not like we could give him medicine or do surgery. We could only wait for natural healing.

In comics, at times like this, the solution is to give another big shock to the head.

I glanced at the back of Sung Ji Chan’s head.

‘If I hit him hard, maybe his memory will return?’

Should I try it once? This is the world of comics, so with main character… no, protagonist protection, he probably won’t die.

But as if he sensed it, Sung Ji Chan suddenly turned around.

“Hey.”

“…Yes?”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but don’t do it.”

I quietly lowered my fist.

Well, one way or another, it was fortunate that it wasn’t a big deal. No, it was a big deal, but how should I put it… it didn’t feel very serious.

In comics, the most common thing that happens with memory loss is the male lead not recognizing the female lead and causing angst, but since Sung Ji Chan is currently single, there’s no chance of him putting on a melodrama with the female lead.

The villainess Han Ye Won’s side is a bit worrisome… but since there’s no female lead for now, it should work out somehow.

‘I can relax.’

I let out a sigh of relief and watched Sung Ji Chan and Seon Woo Jin conversing.

After a little more time passed, Ban Ha Min returned. His eyes were swollen, as if he had really cried.

Ban Ha Min tightly held Sung Ji Chan’s hand and said.

“Chana, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you regain your memory.”

It doesn’t seem like Sung Ji Chan was worried though…

It was truly a tearful friendship. There were many parts I wanted to point out, but there was no need to open my mouth and cause trouble, so I decided to stay quiet.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Three Greats all together like this.’

Ban Ha Min was on an overseas trip and Sung Ji Chan was hospitalized, so they had been apart for quite a while.

Looking at the three of them, I newly contemplated the name “Three Greats.”

At that moment, Sung Ji Chan suddenly said.

“But where is Jin Hae Yul?”

The infirmary instantly became quiet.
