Episode 142
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked forward.
In front, Nam Do-yoon was holding a ring.
He was looking at himself.
“Is it really me?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ said with an expression of disbelief.
“Uh. You’re right. Come out”
Nam Do-yoon said with a smile.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at his face blankly without even realizing it.
Did you put on makeup?
Your face looks a little more handsome than usual.
“Jeong Ha-yeon! Ha-yeon Jeong!”
The students began to applaud when they saw him.
“Hayeon. Why don’t you leave quickly? “Nam Do-yoon is singing.”
‘Kim Min-seo’ said with a smile.
“Hayeon. Get out quickly. “There is also a performance score in this performance.”
“That’s right. Get out quickly. Hayeonah. “Nam Do-yoon is desperately waiting for you right now.”
At the ‘auditorium’ podium, Nam Do-yoon was looking at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ while holding a ring in one hand.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked around.
All first year students were currently crowded into the auditorium.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ couldn’t move her feet.
‘There are so many people?’
It is clear what Nam Do-yoon is trying to do now.
The ring in that hand and the gaze looking at oneself.
More than anything, this situation is all too familiar to her.
It was very obvious what would unfold next.
At the same time, ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’s’ hands began to tremble.
She has experienced so many situations like this since she was young.
A lot of attention and gaze pouring on you.
And the confession to oneself in front of those eyes.
She hated it so much.
Men may think that’s romantic, but the person receiving the confession doesn’t.
It’s embarrassing to be noticed by so many people, and if you reject it, the stares and rumors that will come back to you.
I hated it so much.
But she had to go through so much.
So, even if she encounters a similar situation, her hands start shaking.
‘I thought it was okay.’
She thought she was feeling a little better recently after taking medicine. However, she doesn’t seem to be any better.
‘Kim Min-seo’ said, looking at her with worried eyes.
“Hayeon. Are you okay?”
‘Kim Min-seo’ She knew all about Jeong Ha-yeon’s circumstances.
Therefore, in this situation, I was able to fully guess what her psychological state would be like.
‘Kim Min-seo’ held ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’s’ trembling hand.
“Hayeon. If it doesn’t work out, tell the teacher and tell him you can’t go. “I will explain the situation.”
“…”
“There is no need to overdo it. “Your health is more important.”
“…”
“Let’s go to the health room together. I think that would be good. “You’re not in a normal state right now.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ bit her lip tightly.
Originally, I would have done as Kim Min-seo said.
Even to herself, she seemed to be in quite a bad state right now.
“The doctor also said this. “If a similar situation arises, avoid it.”
“…”
“Let’s listen to what the doctor says. Just Hayeon. Huh?”
‘Kim Min-seo’ said.
No matter how you look at it, it seems right to do as she says.
Honestly, if someone did something like this to me, I was going to ignore them at all costs.
She would have just ignored it and gone back to where she came from for the sake of her own health.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at the top of her auditorium podium.
There, Nam Do-yoon was looking at himself, holding a ‘crystal’ ring.
I couldn’t even take a step outside the auditorium.
“Minseo.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at ‘Kim Min-seo’ and said.
Her voice was quite trembling.
“Yes. Say.”
“Can you help me?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ tried to stand up, but perhaps because her legs were weak, she couldn’t stand up.
‘Kim Min-seo’ began to support her.
“That’s not difficult. Is the teacher at the back door of the auditorium? “Can we go there together?”
“…”
“I’m not in a good condition right now, so I’ll go after telling the teacher about the situation.”
“No. “I don’t go there.”
“..What?”
“I’m not going to the teacher.”
“Then… Where on earth are you asking me to help you go?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked up at the auditorium podium without saying a word.
“..You want to go there?”
‘Kim Min-seo’ said with a blank expression.
“Uh.”
“Seriously? “The doctor told me to avoid situations like this at all costs.”
“…But I still have to go.”
“Why.. Why?”
“That’s it..”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ could not bear to continue her sentence.
“Anyway, I have to go. Please support me. “Minseo.”
“…I understand first of all.. Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Uh. “It’s really okay, so please come with me.”
“..I understand.”
‘Kim Min-seo’ started to support her and climb onto ‘her auditorium podium.’
Her expression looked quite tense.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ stood in front of ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“It’s okay now.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ said.
I think the shaking has stopped a bit.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ intently.
The ‘ring’ in his hand began to slowly move towards her.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’s gaze also began to follow the ring.
“Wow. What? “You two should get married.”
“The two match so well. Hayeonah. “Are you going to accept it?”
Hwiik-
Hwiik-
The students started whistling.
The ring soon stopped in front of ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
‘Namdo Yoon’ was silently holding out her ring to ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ was staring at it blankly.
“What? I will accept it. “I won’t.”
“A. “What is it that makes you lose steam?”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked around.
All her eyes were focused on herself.
‘I came out because I thought I had to come out first.’
I still don’t know for sure how I feel.
Do I like Nam Doyoon enough to accept his confession?
I couldn’t readily grab the ring that Nam Do-yoon was holding out.
****
I am quite embarrassed right now.
I handed the ring to ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’, but she was just staring at the ring blankly.
She is not taking any action.
‘It’s difficult to do this.’
If this happens, the plan to give Jeong Ha-yeon her ring will completely go to waste.
I looked around.
“Please accept my confession.”
“What are you doing? Hayeon.”
“Nam Do-yoon is so romantic.”
I can hear their voices.
At the same time, I looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon.’
Her pupils were shaking as if there was an earthquake.
Only then did I understand the current situation.
The reason why Jeong Ha-yeon is not accepting my ring.
You probably misunderstand this situation as a confession.
I whispered into Jeong Ha-yeon’s ear.
“It’s just a performance. “Performance, performance, do you know what I mean?”
“…’
“This is the only way to get a high score. “This is also included in the performance score.”
“…”
“It’s not really a confession or anything, you know what I mean?”
But still, ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked like she couldn’t believe it.
Her eyes looked quite confused.
“Really. “What do I gain by lying?”
“…I understand first of all.”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ nodded her head.
Then he accepted the ring.
“Waaah-“
The students’ cheering was heard.
***
The rankings for the class competition were simple.
First place was Class 1-A.
Students began to leave the ‘auditorium’.
“Oh, it’s such a waste, isn’t it?”
“It doesn’t seem like a big waste. “Nam Do-yoon is so good.”
“Honestly, I admit that.”
“I don’t think it’s too much of a waste, but Class 1-A is so overwhelming.”
“Well. “That’s right.”
Then they glanced to the side.
The expressions of the students in Class 1-A looked quite bright.
“Hey. “Wasn’t Nam Doyoon amazing today?”
“Uh. Honestly admit it. “Especially the last stage was a real hit.”
“If you don’t drink on a day like this, when will you drink?”
“I admit that honestly. “Let’s quickly gather members for the after-party.”
The class leader of Class 1-A spoke while standing in the hallway.
“Let’s gather here for the after-class party.”
Then many people began to gather.
“Hmm.. It looks like everyone has gathered.”
The class president said while comparing the list of students in front of him.
“Shall we leave soon?”
The class president of Class 1-A said.
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ looked at them from afar.
Among them all, her gaze was focused on one place.
It was the face of ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“…”
However, she was not willing to approach.
She just stood in her place and wiggled her fingers.
“Hayeon. What’s going on?”
“…No. “I want to go to the after-party too…”
“Why don’t you just go?”
“No… “I’ve already told the class president that I’m not going, so it’s a little hard to say.”
“Then I will tell you for you. Hayeon wants to go too.”
“…Thank you.”
Meanwhile, ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ glanced her gaze somewhere.
‘Kim Min-seo’ followed ‘Jeong Ha-yeon’s gaze.
There was the face of ‘Nam Do-yoon’.
“Ah! I guess they’re doing that because Nam Doyoon is going. “Why don’t we just go together?”
“…I don’t want to go because of the dog.”
‘Kim Min-seo’ smiled and looked at ‘Jeong Ha-yeon.’
“Then why do you want to go?”
“I’m just curious about what the atmosphere would be like at an after-party like that. “I’ve never been to a place like that.”
“…Really? But, Nam Do-yoon isn’t going?”
“…What?’
“Nam Do-yoon said he can’t go to the after-party, but are you still going to go?”
“…Ah… That… “Then..”
‘Jeong Ha-yeon’ limped her words.
Then, ‘Kim Min-seo’ laughed.

“It’s just a joke.”
“..Huh?”
“It’s a joke. Nam Do-yoon’s after-party. So, are you going too?”
“…Even if it wasn’t Nam Do-yoon, you would have gone to the after-party, right?”
“Ah. Yes yes. All right. “Jeong Ha-yeon.”
‘Kim Min-seo’ said with a grin.
