Chapter 103
Numerous students are coming out of the auditorium after the ‘mathematics competition’.
Their chatter filled the hallway.
“It was really Eva, the dog of this difficult problem. Honestly, does it make sense that it is more difficult than the last test killer?”
“I hope the principal will punish me for failing to adjust the difficulty level.”
“A. That’s impossible.”
“What is impossible? All the students couldn’t solve the problem.”
“Strictly speaking, not all.”
“….”
At those words, one student’s speech stopped.
They glanced at Jeong Hanna and Nam Do-yoon, who were walking together in front of them.
They were looking at each other and talking amicably.
“Because Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna-jo solved all the difficult problems.”
“But, does that make sense? Nam Do-yoon solved all the difficult problems?”
“Isn’t it true that Jeong Hanna solved it and Nam Do-yoon solved it?”
“A. No way. Teacher Yuli’s assistants were monitoring it very strictly, but that couldn’t be possible.”
“Then, the real Nam Do-yoon solved all of them?”
“I was really embarrassed as well.”
“Now that I know him, isn’t his hair actually really good?”
“Real. I think he’s got really good hair. Even if Jung Hannah has been studying for a long time, I heard that Nam Doyoon only recently started studying, so long as she can solve all those problems.”
“Wow. I really envy you. I wish i had hair like that I envy you.”
“Nam Doyoon really seems to be more competent than I thought.”
Jung Ha-yeon, who was listening to her words, raised the corner of her mouth.
“Ah. More than that, Ha Yeon-ah.”
A male student walking next to Jeong Ha-yeon said.
“Yes. Why?”
“We decided to have a dinner party to commemorate the end of our 1-A class ‘Mathematics Competition’. Are you going too?”
“Huh? Really?”
“Uh. It was posted on our bantalk, didn’t you see it?”
“…Really?”
“Yes. Hayeon, will you come too?”
Jung Ha-yeon pondered. She
She got her words out.
“Is the whole class participating in that party by any chance?”
“No. Maybe that’s not it? If you look at the voting in Bantalk, there were two kids who said they didn’t participate.”
“I’m just asking because I’m curious. What are the names of those two?”
“Could the names of those two be Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna?”
“Uh. How did you know?”
“…”
Hearing that, Hayeon Jung’s face hardened.
I did it by chance, but it was as expected.
“Why aren’t the two of them participating in the dinner?”
“Uh.. I don’t know the reason because I haven’t heard it in detail, but maybe it’s because the two of them are going somewhere?”
At that, the student next to him helped.
“Come to think of it, Nam Doyoon and Jung Hana have been hanging out a lot lately. Isn’t that because of where you two are going?”
“Come to think of it, the two of them keep going somewhere together after school these days. Even during the exam this time, the two of you went somewhere together.”
“Isn’t there really something between the two of you?”
“Jung Hanna is also a kid who doesn’t talk to anyone, but with Nam Do-yoon, he hangs out and talks a lot. You two seemed very close.”
“Couldn’t it be that the two of you are already dating?”
“A. Could it be?”
“Even if they aren’t dating, it’s clear that the two of them like each other. If not, why would you two go together?”
“A. Could it be that Why do you two have to like each other to stick together?”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with a puzzled expression.
“Still, except for class, the two of them are almost perfectly attached. Then, even if both don’t like it, isn’t it true that one side needs to have a heart for that to happen?”
“Right. It seems certain that at least one of them has a heart. Or could her man and woman stick together for so long?”
“….”
From noble mtl dot com
Jeong Ha-yeon made an expression that seemed to be thinking a lot about what she said.
Then she spoke her own words.
“I don’t think I can go to a dinner together.”
“Oh really?”
“Uh. Sorry.”
Jeong Ha-yeon passed those words and she walked forward.
***
After school.
‘Jeong Hannah’ led her body out of the dormitory.
She had a smile on her face at her long break.
“Today is still a day to rest.”
Originally, ‘Nam Do-yoon’ and I should go looking for old books together, but since Nam Do-yoon has something important tomorrow, we had no choice but to rest today.
“Because I have completed my study quota today.”
She has set today as a day of rest for herself.
Stress accumulated while studying, stress from looking for old books.
She set it on a day to unpack it all.
“hehehe~”
She took her steps out of school.
Today’s destination was ‘Kihio’ Pasta, a famous ‘pasta’ restaurant nearby.
There’s nothing like eating something delicious to relieve stress.
It wasn’t long before she arrived in front of the pasta house.
However, like a famous restaurant, there was an incredibly long line.
It seems like you have to wait for a few hours just by waiting to get in.
“I didn’t expect the line to be this long, so let’s just go back.”
The moment she was thinking about.
The staff came over and approached me.
“Do you have any friends?”
“Party..? Ah yes. There is.”
Jeonghanna recalled her memories from a while ago.
[(2 Minutes ago) Jeong Ha-yeon – Pasta at ‘Kihio’, a famous restaurant in the area.
If anyone wants to come, come!! Let’s eat together. I’m so bored because I’m eating alone.
The pasta here is so delicious (crispy corn)]
Jung Ha-yeon was eating pasta at Kihio Pasta.
“Yes. If you call me Jeong Ha-yeon, you will know.”
“Wait a minute. My name is Jeong Ha-yeon. Ah yes. You’re inside now. Would you like to come inside?
Her staff smiled and ushered her into her ‘pasta’ house.
Soon after, the staff took Jeong Hanna to the table where Jeong Ha-yeon was eating her pasta.
Jung Ha-yeon, who was sitting still and eating pasta, felt her presence and looked up at her.
She looked at Jeonghanna’s face and for some reason, she frowned.
“You. What?”
“Huh? Hayeon came to see you on Instagram?”
Jung Hanna showed her cell phone.
“Ah..”
Jeonghanna let out her sigh.
“I told you that if Ha-yeon comes to you because she is bored of eating alone, she can come.”
“…”
“Instead, I’ll pay for all the food here. How is it? Are you okay?”
However, Jung Ha-yeon did not respond to that.
She just looks at Jeonghanna and frowns.
The employee looked at Jeong Ha-yeon as if feeling strange about it and said.
“Are you acquaintances?”
“…”
At those words, Jung Ha-yeon looked at Jeong Hanna and Jung Ha-yeon in turn.
At that time.
Diriring-
There was a ringing tone on Jeonghanna’s cell phone.
The caller’s name was ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
Jeong Ha-yeon looked at it without speaking.
She then gritted her teeth.
“No. I am not an acquaintance.”
“Huh?”
Jeonghanna gave him a puzzled expression.
“The two of us are completely new to each other. So, I can’t get together.”
Jeong Ha-yeon said firmly.
However, contrary to Jeong Ha-yeon’s wish, the two of them had no choice but to sit together in the end.
Because there were no seats left in this restaurant.
In the end, the two of them were sitting on chairs facing each other.
A very awkward airflow began to flow between the two.
“….”
“….”
None of them said a word, only started inhaling the pasta.
Only such a long silence began to flow.
Around the time the plates of the two of them were almost empty.
Jung Ha-yeon spoke first.
“You. But you know that playing with people’s hearts is a very sinful thing, right?”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with her thin eyes open.
“…I’m playing with people’s minds?”
Jeonghanna said with a furrowed brow.
“Uh. You are playing around with Nam Doyoon right now. I don’t know what kind of wind the nerd is blowing, but stop it.”
“..What?”
Jeong Hanna said with a puzzled look on her face.
“I don’t know about it to other people, but it’s obvious to me. That you’re playing around with Nam Do-yoon”
“….”
“I don’t know about you, but Nam Do-yoon is a very scarred kid.”
“Huh? What?”
“Tell me again? Nam Do-yoon is a very scarred kid, so don’t think of playing around with him.”
“Nam Doyoon has a lot of scars?”
“Uh. I guess you don’t know that ah. It’s not natural. I’m just playing with it, but why would you be curious about his past?”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with a proud expression.
“Nam Doyoon went through a lot of hardships in the past. Hannah, I don’t know about you.”
“…”
“Oh, yes. I’m not interested, so you don’t know about this? I guess I didn’t even think about knowing.”
Jeong Hanna frowned.
There was no particular reason.
She just didn’t like Jung Ha-yeon being arrogant in front of her.
Jeong Ha-yeon said.
“I don’t think you know much about Nam Do-yoon right now.”
“What?”
“If you knew the heavy burden Nam Doyoon is carrying, you would never say such a thing.”
“..A heavy burden?”
Jung Ha-yeon’s voice began to grow smaller.
“Yes. You can say this because you don’t know that.”
“…What is Nam Doyoon’s burden?”
“….”
Jeong Hanna looked at Jeong Ha-yeon without saying a word.
She then said, laughing within herself.
“I guess Doyun didn’t tell you?”
“…Wh… What?”
Originally, the contents related to the ‘instant killing machine’ are externally secret.
So, you should never tell anyone about it.
However, Jeong Ha-yeon didn’t know that, and Jeong Hanna just didn’t want to lose to Jeong Ha-yeon.
“I don’t think Doyoon and you have a particularly deep relationship?”
“…”
Jung Ha-yeon couldn’t even speak like a dumb person who was blocked by her speech.
Looking at that, Jeonghanna smiled.
Then I got up from my seat.
“….”
Jeong Ha-yeon stared at the back of Jeong Hanna’s head as she disappeared far away.
