#68. School Trip (7)

Please.

A favor?

Couldn’t it be a confession?

What should I refuse…?

“Then, shall I tell you?”

“Uh, yes.”

Yes, let’s refuse as politely as possible.

If you need an explanation, think of words to cover it up…

“I hope you don’t save me from now on.”

The many and complicated thoughts that plagued my head.

All of those thoughts came to a halt with a single word spoken by Jang Ha-ra.

“······What?”

“Oh, you don’t have to take it seriously! I just heard about it from Eugene unnie today. The reason you went to the dock in advance.”

Janghara scratched the back of her hand.

“I wondered if things like today often happen to Yoohyeon… ….”

“It happens often, but what does that have to do with not saving you?”

“Yujin unnie said that. I have no idea why you’re doing that. There is no benefit, but they keep suffering…”

Why did she say that?

Unprofitable behavior is the subject that you do the most.

“When she heard that, she thought to herself.”

Janghara looked at me and said.

“The reason you do it, is it because of us?”

That’s right.

My goal is the happiness of “Us,” As Jang Ha-ra said.

“Right. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

After hearing the answer, Jang Ha-ra took a step closer to me.

“Me too. I hope Yoohyeon doesn’t get hurt. Especially if it’s because of me.”

His steps, expressions, and eyes were clearer than ever.

“Remember? The day the academy was attacked.”

The day Jang Ha-ra ran out of control.

“To be honest, I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I wonder if it’s okay for me to stay by your side.”

Perhaps, the day when Jang Ha-ra’s worries began that I did not know about.

“I was afraid of hurting you again. So I tried to keep my distance.”

“·······.”

“As you can see, it failed.”

Janghara laughed awkwardly.

It was a sad looking smile.

“That’s why I’m asking you. I feel like I should do something like this.”

Janghara’s request was to lighten my burden.

I sighed for a while.

The answer did not come easily.

I didn’t expect you to have such troubles.

But I had to come up with an answer.

This is a problem I’ve been ignoring.

“Ah… Was it too sudden? Sorry. I don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to say it if it’s not now.”

Then I made a decision.

“I understand what you mean.”

In fact, I didn’t even have to worry about whether or not to save it.

I just thought about how to say it.

“Thank you for worrying about my luggage. But you don’t have to take it off.”

“·······.”

Janghara lowered her head.

“I thought he would say that.”

Fine silver hair that falls down.

I reached for that head.

“I said it before, but…”

I stroke it as it is.

Jang Ha-ra trembled slightly, and then felt my touch.

“I don’t want you guys to get hurt. That’s why you always do things that don’t benefit.”

“Ehhhhh.”

A weak voice.

He seemed to be sorry for not being able to lighten my burden.

“But, I won’t overdo it alone anymore.”

Janghara raised her head.

“Really?”

“Then, he said he was worried about you.”

Staring at my face, he sticks out his pinky finger.

“Promise me. I will keep my word.”

Laughter came out at that subtly cute suggestion.

“Okay.”

We made a promise with each other’s fingers.

There was no conversation after that.

The somewhat awkward atmosphere continued, so I just returned to the hotel.

Because the halves were different, we parted ways, and I ended up walking through a somewhat deserted hallway.

The loneliness did not last long. Because the distance to the room was not far.

As soon as I got to the room, I threw myself on the sofa.

“I am tired…”

That’s how the first day of the field trip passed.

.

.

.

I opened my eyes.

Sunlight streaming through the living room window.

I checked from time to time.

7:10.

It wasn’t late, as they said they would check the number of people and eat in 30 minutes.

Fortunately, I don’t have a hangover.

“Let’s wash.”

I stretched out with a yawn, took off my top, and entered the room.

It was because I left the clothes I brought with me in my room.

By the way…

“Oh…”

A short exclamation from the room.

I forgot I put two drunken guests in my room.

“Coming in while taking off is definitely ‘that’, right?”

Nari Seo was staring at me with her scattered hair.

“No, close your eyes.”

I hurriedly packed my clothes.

“Wait a minute.”

Then he hesitated.

Less than 20 minutes left until the personnel check.

If you don’t wake up now, Shin Yeo-eun will be late?

As if regretting it, I asked Nari Seo not to lick her appetite again.

“Nari, wake Yeo-eun and go to her room. It’s late now.”

“Huh? What time is it… Ah?!”

Nari Seo, who checked the time, hurriedly woke Shin Yeo-eun.

I was a little relieved by that appearance and went into the bathroom.

I washed my body as quickly as possible.

Soon, the time to check the number of people approached, and after finishing my preparations, I came out into the hallway on time.

The men checked to make sure no one was missing.

Now it must be the woman’s turn…

Isn’t it too late?

I moved to the restaurant located on the first floor of the hotel with concern.

“Oh…”

I heard that most hotel breakfasts are buffets, and the same was true here.

Meat, bread, noodles, rice, etc.

The colorful menu was presented in good quality.

I put the food I wanted in moderation and sat at a table that was “Visible from the entrance.”

After a while, Nari Seo sat down next to me to see if it worked.

“Aren’t you late?”

“Yes. Thanks to.”

“Who is Yeo-eun?”

“A deal to skip meals and rest.”

“I see…”

I glanced at Nari Seo.

Her hair was wet. It looks like it hasn’t dried yet.

“I should have just eaten and washed up.”

Even after morning hours, it gives time for maintenance.

“······It smells like alcohol.”

“Ah.”

Convinced.

“How about a hangover?”

“It’s hard.”

“That’s right.”

I didn’t talk to her anymore because she looked really tired.

Instead, I looked at Nari Seo’s plate. I wondered what it would contain.

The food on the plate was something that could be easily eaten.

Tomato juice, eggs, and fruit such as pears.

Come to think of it, I’ve seen somewhere that a fruit like that helps with a hangover.

“It is very difficult…”

Then, another plate was placed across from me.

“Ah, hello Yoohyeon-ah…?”

It was Jang Hara.

“Uh, hello.”

Jang Ha-ra had an awkward expression on her face.

Other than that, he continued to act like avoiding my eyes.

I wanted to do that, so I tried using my powers of observation on Jang Ha-ra.

[ Observe your thoughts. ]

《 Crazy, crazy! What was I talking about after drinking yesterday?! 》

Apparently, the request I made yesterday was made while drunk.

《No, I was serious… But, but! 》

It was fortunate that he was sincere.

《 Ho, I wonder if the film was cut? I wish it was… 》

Film doesn’t break that easily.

It was a little funny to think like that while quietly eating.

《 What is it? I laughed. You laughed Oh, what should I do? I guess you remember. 》

I decided to help him a little because he seems to be too anxious.

“Oh, that’s right, Hara.”

“Ugh, huh?”

“How is your hangover?”

She naturally continued the conversation and enthusiastically appealed with ‘I don’t care’.

Thanks to that, I felt fine by the time the power of observation ended.

Anyway, as we talked about this and that, time passed quickly, and it was time to get on the bus.

“Are you okay?”

“No…….”

Shin Yeo-eun, whom I met on the bus, was a wreck.

It looks like a dead body.

It seems that the hangover was worse than expected.

“Even if you take a hangover cure.”

“I ate and rode.”

“Then I’m glad.”

We sat in front of Shin Yeo-eun.

“Nari, will I be next to Yoohyeon when you come?”

“I don’t like it.”

As she received envious stares from the men around her, the bus started.

“Do you know what I am doing today?”

Shin Yeo-eun started talking to me from behind to see if I was feeling better.

“I heard you are going to the sea.”

“That’s right. Anything to do in your free time? Play in the sea with me later.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Um… Sorry, that would be difficult.”

“Yes?”

Shin Yeo-eun made a puzzled noise, and Nari Seo laughed beside her.

“That is…”

Just as I was about to explain the reason, the homeroom teacher came in.

“Today’s schedule has changed a little.”

The homeroom teacher who gives instructions as soon as you arrive.

I shut my mouth again.

“Everyone knows that the competition is held on Hero Island, right? I will go see it.”

“Sir, what about the sea?”

“Go away. Instead, you will only be given time to take pictures.”

At the news, the students’ reactions were divided into two.

Most of the male students said ‘I rather like it’ and most of the female students said ‘I like the sea better’.

“I heard that Park Si-woo, who you like, will also appear in the tournament, don’t hate it.”

At those words, the girl’s dissatisfaction diminished in an instant.

Park Si-woo is roughly like an idol.

She is A-level, but because she is good-looking, she has many girl fans.

Of course I’m not interested.

“So there are no complaints now?”

“Yes~”

I finished the explanation I was going to give earlier.

“Did you just hear that? I’m going to the competition too.”

“Yes?! Really?”

“Uh, I’m just going to take the preliminaries for now.”

“Yeah… Well, the schedule has changed anyway.”

Shin Yeo-eun let out a sigh and put her body on her back.

“I’m sorry, but what can I do? I should cheer you on.”

“They cheer me on.”

“Of course!”

It was a pleasant atmosphere.

It would be nice if this atmosphere continued forever.

“Today will be fine.”

I muttered and looked out the window.

And immediately realize something.

I wish I could, but was this a flag?

“・・・・・・Ah, no way.”

Isn’t it?
