chapter 24
024. Work in charge (1)
Recently, Lee Yu-ri’s mood has been very low.
Sometimes I can’t even concentrate on training and let out a deep sigh.
The cause was because of a rumor floating around among prospective students these days.
The beginning was the eyewitness story of a prospective cadet.
「I saw Cheonhwa heading to the male quota system and the Rohana restaurant.」
At first, that remark was dismissed as nonsense, saying, “What is it that I regret about Cheonhwa?”
However, at lunchtime the next day, Cheonhwa showed up at a hamburger restaurant, sparking rumors.
Chunhwa shows interest in the male quota system.
There is also a fighting dog targeting the man.
They said they had a fight over that man.
And at the same time, things about the appearance of the allotment system were spread in secret.
─ Homme fatale, appearance is plausible, eye washer, wall is felt. Perfect.
Various nicknames given to him.
It was unusual for a prospective student who had not yet had an entrance ceremony or a student who was not a specially admitted student to become the center of attention.
And perhaps because of his appearance, the rumors began to spread.
Something like “Jin Yu-hara, a cadet under the quota system, is wagging his tail at the newly admitted students.”
Yuri Lee did not believe that the rumor was true.
On the contrary, I thought the story I heard at the beginning was justified.
‘It’s clear that they have a one-sided interest in Jin Yu-ha.’
The reason is probably Jin Yu-ha’s hidden skills.
Since the special admission cadets and the male quota system are training together, of course they must have confirmed Jin Yu-ha’s skills.
And you figured it out.
That Jin Yu-ha has amazing skills that don’t fit the label of male quota.
Now, it’s not just him who knows his specialness.
I had guessed that this would happen someday, and since I was in a situation where I could not respond to Jin Yoo-ha’s feelings realistically, I tried to accept it as resolutely as possible.
Yeah, I tried to accept that, but…….
I couldn’t help the resentment that swelled deep in my heart.
‘…… He’s here because of me!’
Jinyu-ha hurriedly entered Velvet Academy, which he had no interest in, following him.
Because it was sudden, there was not enough time to prepare, so I even accepted the unfunny label of male quota.
However, Jin Yoo-ha is far more beautiful than herself, has excellent abilities, and has a lot of money…….
He was approached by women he could never beat.
‘So, of course I thought Jin Yu-ha would sway in that direction… …. Now, what?’
*
“So, you mean that b*tch called Cheonhwa did some tricks?”
“Yeah, I was even attacked by those Cheonhwa followers yesterday. And I’m sure he knew that too.”
The light in her eyes disappeared when she first started talking, but as the conversation continued, Lee Yuri regained her former self.
‘What is it, did soup soup make you feel better again?’
“What a crazy b*tch.”
“Right. Quite a bit behind.”
“But why are you involved?”
Lee Yu-ri asked with her arms crossed.
“Eh, the details are a little complicated, so it’s hard to explain. She made a deal with that woman.”
“A deal?”
“Yes, the condition is that I have lunch with her for a while.”
Yuri Lee chewed her lips in anger.
Then he laughed.
“They say you look like an angel from the outside, but do you use your status to make deals? On that condition, they forced us to eat together……. It’s pretty dreary. Could it be that this rumor is also intended to preoccupy Jin Yu-ha?”
Lee Yu-ri frowned and sorted out her thoughts by herself, then asked me.
“Then it must be nonsense that you like Cheonhwa?”
“Of course not.”
I nodded.
In fact, it would be natural for her to doubt me when she thinks of Cheonhwa’s appearance in the media, but Lee Yuri immediately believed my words.
“So, what can I help you with?”
Lee Yuri asked eagerly.
“Didn’t I say I was eating with her?”
“Yes.”
“I want you to come with me.”
“Yes. Okay.”
Lee Yu-ri readily accepted my request without any hesitation.
A sense of gratitude and sorry at the same time stabbed my conscience.
‘I’d get involved in rumors and lose my lunchtime training time… ….’
As expected, it bothers me to make such a request bare-mouthed.
“This is because you are helping me. In return…….”
“Hey, Jin Yuha.”
“Huh?”
“Do you think I would get something like that?”
She snapped at me as if she was in a bad mood.
It’s really reassuring to say that.
“Still, soup is you. You train even during lunch. It’s because I’m sorry I wasted your time with my circumstances.”
“…… How do you know that?”
Yuri Lee suddenly hardened her face.
“…… Just, do you think so? No?”
“No, that’s right. Oh, did you know?”
She averted her eyes as she blushed her bright red.
‘Because I train while not eating lunch properly. It’s embarrassing to find out about that.’
I put on a hearty smile.
“Okay. Well, it’s kind of weird that we’re giving money back and forth. Then, this time, I will only buy the rice that I eat together. And next time you ask me, I’ll be sure to listen.”
“…… Between us?”
“Yeah, while we were together.”
I said playfully.
A moment of silence.
Suddenly, Lee Yu-ri jumped up from her seat and turned around behind her.
“Gukbap…… ?”
“I-I get it right now! Then let’s see it tomorrow at lunchtime, and then I’ll go to your training ground. Wait!
Bang-!
“… ….”
Lee Yu-ri spat out words like a rapid-fire gun and hurriedly went into the training camp.
Looks like it’s really urgent.
Anyway, I was able to get a strong leash to put around Shin Se-hee’s neck.
* * *
The next morning.
6 Am.
I woke up an hour earlier than usual.
Growling─ Pooh─
I looked around at the guys at the camp, who were still drunk, and cautiously stood up.
I took the wooden sword I had been hugging last night, washed my body, and headed to the training ground.
And a woman was already there.
Kang Do-hee.
She was stretching herself, bending her body down with her legs spread on her floor.
‘I have to get a vaccination beforehand.’
Jerbug.
Jerbug.
I approached her, pretending to see her.
Kang Do-hee raises her head and then fiercely raises her eyes.
“What?”
“Have you already come out and trained? Are you very diligent?”
“What about the quota system? Don’t go out of my way in front of you. Really behind.”
“How can you not be noticed when you train together anyway?”
Kang Do-hee bent her neck on both sides and raised the corners of her mouth.
She then glared at me, she said.
“Hey, you. Before, they said, “What if the girl in the flower field was a poisonous plant?” …. Did you end up sticking with her? And now I don’t know what kind of modification it is.”
“Then, will you accept it if I change to you instead of Shin Se-hee?”
“Damn it. I hate men with no backbone who say they are here and there.”
Kang Do-hee said in a sarcastic voice.
In addition to her male quota, her sharpness seemed to intensify as she chased her around and scratched her insides with her latest girlfriend, Shin Se-hee.
“Kang Do-hee.”
“Don’t even call me by my name. Don’t even pretend to know.”
“So what about fighting dogs?”
“Do you really want to search?”
I looked at her and opened her mouth to her calmness.
“Yes, after today I will never speak to you first. Just listen to what I am saying right now.”
“… ….”
Kang Do-hee scratched her chin.
Now that you’re talking this far, it seems like you’ve decided to listen to what he’s saying.
“If you visit me later and ask me any questions, I will give you an honest answer.”
“What…… ?”
“And that I said I wanted to be friends with you. Because it will never change Know that too.”
Kang Do-hee frowned at her as if she had suddenly come and asked what kind of bullsh*t that was.
“Come to me anytime and ask me directly.”
“What kind of idiot is that? Will i come to you? Do you think something like that will happen?”
“I don’t know.”
I replied with a shrug.
I also don’t know what tricks Shin Se-hee will use to seduce Kang Do-hee.
But if it were her, she would use her snake-like tongue to lure Kang Do-hee out somehow.
In that case, the most effective vaccination is this.
To open up to each other directly and honestly.
Right now, Kang Do-hee has a strong sense of rejection towards me, so I won’t be able to touch him, but later, he will definitely remember what I said.
Then, all I have to do is answer honestly to Kang Do-hee, who came to me at that time.
With the same answer as now.
After immunizing Kang Do-hee, I started training separately.
* * *
“Today’s basic training ends here. Then, let’s meet again after lunch.”
Instructor Baek Seol-hee’s morning training schedule is over.
And then Shin Se-hee approached.
“Jin Yu-ha! Let’s go to lunch together today!”
Shin Se-hee said in a lively voice.
“Yes, I understand.”
But I was walking and stopped at the entrance to the training ground.
“Hmm? Aren’t you going?”
Shin Se-hee, who was going ahead, looked back and tilted her head.
“Oh, sorry. A friend of mine decided to come.”
“…… Friend?”
“Yes, he’s my friend from the academy, and we originally planned to have lunch together from the time we came here.”
“Yes?”
“We ate separately until now because our training groups were divided, but now I think it would be better to eat together. It doesn’t matter if there’s one more person going to eat anyway, right?”
Then Shin Se-hee nodded her head with a trembling face.
“…… Well, good But who is it?”
“Oh, there he is.”
Yuri was walking towards this place from far away.
With an extremely reassuring figure.
‘Now. Shin Se-hee, your manager, Ilchin-nim, is here. Should I say hello?’
I smiled to myself.
