chapter 8
8 – Yuri Han_5
It was stolen.
When everyone turned away, the only one who looked at me was taken away.
“So, the last professor’s class—.”
“Really? It was boring, but—”
Yoo Hye-ji and Lee Seong-hyeon chattering in front.
And the self who has no choice but to follow it one step behind and watch it.
Han Yu-ri could not accept this situation that had been going on for several days.
‘Why?’
Why did this happen?
That seat… My…
“Huh”
I heard laughter.
It was a familiar laugh.
Looking up, I saw Yoo Hye-ji slightly turning her head and turning her head quickly with a small smile.
‘…’
I know.
Why did this happen?
Yoo Hye-ji.
No, that b*tch kicked her tail.
I shouldn’t have accepted you to put on a show as an apology.
It was already too late when I realized that it was creeping closer.
I shouldn’t have given it a chance at all.
Because Seonghyeon is kind.
“Yuri, what’s wrong? You don’t look good, do you?”
Look.
I didn’t even tell you, but you recognized me and looked at me with worried eyes.
Wow, Yuri is really good at it. Come to think of it, the other day…’
‘As expected, Yuri, from the first time I saw you in the auditorium, you were real—.’
Unlike others, he only doesn’t approach me when I’m doing well.
‘How did the test time decrease so much in such a short period of time?’
‘Is there any special training?’
‘Can I train with you?’
Without trying to pry out how she got her grades so good.
‘f*ck Yu-Ri Han, she must have been lucky that year. Looking at all the things she’s doing these days—.’
‘I knew it. She was originally the lowest ranked kid. Come to think of it, she asked how she trained last time, so I don’t know—’
She said she was lucky because her grades didn’t go well again.
Only me.
Me as I am.
So.
“Thank you for your concern… but it’s nothing, yes, it’s really nothing”
It’s really nothing.
**
It was felt that the time of harvest was slowly approaching.
The goal is the third month-end evaluation.
That is the 3rd 1v1 sparring.
The order of the class entering the auditorium is also perfect.
‘It took a long time’
It took a long time.
Because I’ve been spending almost three months on such trivial things.
Still, the work is almost at the final stage.
All you have to do now is harvest.
‘By the way, it’s hot’
I stopped by the dormitory and auditorium moderately, and then ran to the training ground, but I was sweating. It seems that global warming is a fact.
Anyway, I thought I had a good workout, so I was about to go back to the dormitory, but I saw a familiar face in the training ground.
It was Han Yuri.
“Are you still training?”
I sat next to Han Yu-ri, who was resting for a while breathing hard on the outskirts of the training ground, and spoke softly to him.
Then, Han Yu-ri fell slightly and nodded her head.
“Yes, it’s Dalian tomorrow…”
“Really? But why are you sitting apart? What’s going on?”
“…Sweat”
Because of her training, she was sweating, so she seemed to step out of her way for fear of smelling her.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Isn’t that proof that Yuri worked hard?”
“But it still smells…”
She pulled Han Yu-ri, who was a little away.
Yuri Han struggled with her as if she was embarrassed by that, but as she continued to pull, she was gently pulled aside.
“It will work, because Yuri can do it”
“Yeah…”
The way she nods is unexpectedly cute.
Even when I first saw her, she seemed confident, confident and meticulous.
Even if she knew that she was a person, she didn’t know.
‘I’m a human being with the same front and back, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know it if I knew it.’
I am honest.
Because of being honest, I have a strong law-abiding spirit, so I don’t do anything that would result in being entrusted with the law.
‘Isn’t that why they secretly sell medicine?’
It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught.
“Still, tomorrow is sparring, so overdoing it isn’t good. Yuri has been working hard up until now, so wouldn’t it be better to stop today’s training with this and take a break?”
“If Seonghyeon says so…”
After hearing my words, Yuri nodded his head as if it were natural.
“Then I’m not going to go back right away, but could you hang out with me for a bit? Oh, of course, if you want to go back right away, you can just go back.”
“Good.”
“You don’t have to ask what’s going on?”
“Since it’s Seonghyun’s job, it doesn’t matter what it is…”
Han Yu-ri nodded again as if it were natural.
Trust was strong.
“hahahaha… It’s nothing special… It’s just a story about going out for a late-night snack or something together. It’s okay to go out to eat alone, but it’s better to eat together. How is it?”
“Yes”
Yuri nodded vigorously.
And when I stood up, they started chasing after me.
It’s still 10 o’clock at night.
Ramen was delicious.
**
I tried.
Because that’s all I can do.
I worked hard.
Because there was someone who believed in me.
So.
I could have worked harder.
I could have sold out more.
I could have struggled more.
More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More-…
“Kyaaa!!”
“What, what, what’s going on”
“Professor!!!”
It was noisy as if my ears hurt.
I wondered what was going on
It was hotter than that.
Her hands, the corners of her mouth, the whole body.
It was wet, heavy, and hot because it was dyed red.
‘Eh…?’
What’s going on?
Why is this…
Screams can be heard in the distance.
I see Seonghyun approaching urgently.
Why is the sword really heavy?
Is it because her head has been dizzy since the morning?
Sung Hyun-ah, I…
“Calm down!!!”
I…
“Yoo Hye-ji, come to your senses!!!”
Why me…
“Cadet Han Yuri!!!”
I saw someone approaching me with a face twisted in anger.
Lee Nam-bong.
It wasn’t just that.
Everyone’s eyes were on him.
Like I’ve seen something terrible.
There were also several people who vomited.
I blankly looked down at the auditorium floor and saw that it was painted red.
When did you remodel?
It’s still damp…
Dalian in a place like this…
But why are my hands red?
Why is the black I’m holding dyed red…
‘Huh…?’
“Oh, no… I… Something like that…”
Negative. Denial. Denial.
No matter how many times I denied it, nothing changed.
Even if you turn your gaze and look at Seonghyun.
Even if you see Yoo Hye-ji bleeding profusely.
“Seonghyeon, I really…”
He bit his lip.
As if he didn’t want to believe, as if he believed in himself.
However, as if it could not be helped, he muttered that he was sorry and could not come closer.
“I will subdue cadet Han Yu-ri as an attempted murder.”
My vision flipped and hot blood ran down my face.
‘Ah—.’
I…
**
I heard a muffled sound coming from inside the door.
Han Yu-ri opened her door and held her breath for a moment and listened to her.
“He must have been waiting only to get revenge on Hyeji from the start?”
“Really? Still, didn’t you have a bad life last time by apologizing and accepting it?”
“No, it was just to induce you to be careless. Think about it;
“Well… His personality was weird from the beginning. Didn’t he scream during the first test?
“Come to think of it, the other day when I was doing well on the test, I asked how I did well—”
No.
She obviously had a bad opinion of Yoo Hye-ji.
But she never thought of committing murder.
I just wanted Seonghyeon to stay away from me.
That’s why I tried.
I thought that if I won again, Seonghyun would look at me more than he cares about him, so I tried and tried and tried.
But why…?
“Come to think of it, Lee Seong-Hyun is also unique. Even though I know that he is that kind of person, he gets along well with me.”
“No, Lee Seong-hyun is just so kind that I can’t push him away. Last time I was in trouble, he helped me a lot.”
“Me too… You too?”
“Actually, I helped too… Isn’t Lee Seong-hyeon helping others too well and Han Yu-ri clinging to it?”
“Anyway, Hyeji was pitiful, so why did he get caught by a b*tch like that—”
“By the way, should I aim for Lee Sung-hyun?
“What are you saying, wake up, he won’t even know your name?”
It’s not a name you’d carelessly say.
It’s not a name to be taken lightly.
Me first before you.
Seonghyun.
Looking only at me…
“Why aren’t you entering?”
“!!?”
Surprised by the sudden sound from behind, Han Yu-ri looked behind her.
There, Lee Seong-hyun was looking at me with eyes full of worry and wonder.
“Ah!!?”
Step back.
Then he lowered his head and moved his feet.
But I couldn’t move forward.
It was because I was caught by the wrist.
“Let go, let go…”
“You weren’t going to go in, were you?”
“But… I…”
“It’s not your fault. There must have been some mistake.”
“But…”
A disciplinary committee has already been convened.
Soon you will be expelled.
Is that all?
I heard that other legal proceedings are also underway.
On top of that, he only scolded his family about why the news had reached them.
It was really over.
No matter how much it was a misunderstanding, no one believed me even when I said I didn’t mean to.
So I wondered if I really did it.
It was definitely me who wielded that sword.
That is an undeniable fact.
The memory of that feeling was very clear.
There was no reason.
Yoo Hye-ji didn’t like it, he didn’t like it, he didn’t like it, so he committed it.
That’s right.
There is no doubt that.
I couldn’t believe myself either.
The more I denied, the more I became positive.
No one believes in me and I don’t believe in myself, so…
Really I…
“It’s OK”
The soothing scent tickled the tip of my nose.
It was cozy and comfortable.
The sound and echo of patting the back.
I felt the warm warmth.
“It will be okay, I will somehow reveal the truth”
Ah-.
“Only believe in me”
Only you—.
