Episode 115. Culture Festival (11)
After school, it was time to work again as a support team for the festival.
Although it was annoying to have to go every day, I couldn’t complain. The support team was a comfortable place for middle school students.
Materials that come and go from outside the campus, such as external companies participating in the cultural festival and application centers, are collected and processed at the middle school.
Instead, the planning team and publicity team are supervised by the high school, and work is carried out there.
In other words, middle school students from support and publicity teams have to go to high school.
It’s not too far if you use the festival alley behind the school, but it’s quite troublesome.
So, even if you happen to meet Gahee Choi in the hallway, you shouldn’t complain.
Choi Ga-hee is coming with troublesome steps.
“……… “
“……… “
If I deliberately try to turn around at the point of eye contact, I’ll feel bad.
There’s no need to accumulate grudges.
Unintentionally because we had the same destination, we ended up walking together.
Since I said goodbye to Choi Ga-hee again, we haven’t had any conversations.
I continued to live in an awkward relationship.
Choi Ga-hee also glanced at me, but did not talk to me.
It seems that you understood my words well, and now you are in the stage of controlling your emotions.
You just have to forget about it little by little.
After the festival committee, we won’t be meeting again.
Choi Ga-hee gave her a look, but she was sullen at her consistent ignoring. Her mouth opened and closed.
Do you want to say hello?
Well… Is it polite for juniors to greet seniors first?
But it’s difficult if you just say hello and then try to approach him again.
As we walked without saying anything, Kahi also looked away as if she had given up.
That’s it.
The remaining problem is Lee Yoo-young…
Lee Yoo-young, why is she stealing the conversation on her own and running out of control?
Since I had a scuffle with Lee Yoo-young the other day, Lee Yoo-young has bothered me several times.
When I asked, ‘I’m going to go to the school I want to go to, what does it matter to you?’
It went well. It would be beneficial if we could get away like this.
The problem is that I want his yandere eyes to cool down a bit.
Well, as time passes, it will return to normal.
It will take time, though.
“Haa~”
“…… There’s not even a sigh.”
“Ah… “
I looked around.
Choi Ga-hee lowered her head with her teary face.
“It’s not because of you. That… It’s because I’m worried about other things.”
“What is it?”
“…… I don’t understand classical cigars.”
“What kind of poem is this?”
“That… I don’t even remember the title. Just ask the teacher next time.”
“… Huh.”
I cut off the conversation and arrived at the classroom without problems.
The original auditorium was filled with props from the planning team.
So, since a few days ago, we have been working together in the spare classroom.
When I opened the classroom door, the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Normally, it should be noisy by now.
Each of the girls who were normally talking were whispering a little.
“Eunbi.”
Also, a junior who always looks around looking for me when he comes and approaches me to greet me…
I was in a daze until I called to find out what was going on today.
Looking at the blackboard.
“What the hell is that?”
Eunbi turned her head belatedly and looked at me.
In the corner of the blackboard Eunbi was looking at, she saw graffiti.
“What is this?”
An umbrella symbol with a heart drawn on it.
And under the triangle of the umbrella, I could see two names, ‘Kim Taeyang’ and ‘Kang Eunbi’.
This… It’s a scribble that only elementary school students would do, when being friends with the opposite s*x would be embarrassing and awkward.
Why are these childish graffiti all of a sudden… I don’t know if that’s also in the classroom the committee uses.
“Who are you? Who did this?”
Choi Ga-hee also saw the graffiti.
They went to the blackboard ahead of us and erased the graffiti.
Then I looked around.
“Children, you shouldn’t bully others recklessly!”
There’s no way that kind-hearted Choi Ga-hee would just pass by after seeing something like this.
I also told the girls around me who followed Ga-hee well not to stand by if there was a friend who was being treated like this.
“Yeah, I don’t know who you are, but what are you doing childishly?”
“I’m not even an elementary school student.”
Only then did the voices of sympathy come out, centering around the boys.
For nothing like this to happen suddenly, I’m confused.
Let’s comfort Eunbi first.
“Eunbi, don’t worry.”
“……… “
However, even after trying to console her, Eunbi just hung her head and said nothing.
“Are you Eunbi?”
Eunbi suddenly ran out of the classroom while wiping her tears.
“Ah…… “
The atmosphere got really serious.
Everyone was busy watching each other to see who did this.
I can’t even let go of my hands.
I left immediately to find Eunbi.

“Kim Taeyang! Where?”
While wandering around looking for Eunbi, she met Seong Joo-yeon, who came to middle school late.
“Juyeon noona, haven’t you seen Eunbi?”
“Huh? Did you go up there earlier?”
Fortunately, I can find it soon.
“Thank you!”
“Hey, what happened?”
“I’ll explain later!”
It takes a long time to explain.
Once I went up the stairs.
As I climbed up, I heard a small whimper.
It was above.
I found Eunbi sitting on the stairs leading to the rooftop and crying.
Eunbi seemed to have found me too, so she opened her eyes.
However, the pupil color of both eyes was different.
If one side had an artificial feeling with brilliant green light, the other side had black eyes.
Huh?
First of all, that’s not what’s important.
“Ah… sorry. He suddenly ran away.”
“No.”
I sat next to Eunbi.
“…… Brother too… You don’t like me either?”
“What did you say all of a sudden?”
“That’s right. Even before… I just saw something like that… It’s embarrassing when you’re with me.”
Because of the incident from earlier, it seems that he worries about me first rather than himself.
In case I got hurt.
“I’m sorry, brother. I’m stuck by your side for no reason.”
“I don’t really care.”
“…… Really?”
“Uh, there’s no way I could hate a sincere and kind junior just because of something like that, right?”
Someone maliciously wrote graffiti in the first place, so why would anyone hate the innocent victim?
However, it was difficult to be misunderstood in this way.
I don’t know if Lee Yu-young will see something like this again and get a strange misunderstanding.
“Then… That’s fine.”
Perhaps she gained a bit of courage, Eunbi’s smiling face caught my eye.
“Ah, did you call me juniors more than that?”
Eunbi looked this way as if grumbling.
“Oh, was it?… Hey, more than that, what happened to your eyes?”
I am also not very delicate.
When she inadvertently pointed her hand at Eunbi’s eyes and said, Eunbi made a puzzled expression and took out her mirror.
“Ah… My lens fell off while running.”
It must have been a circle lens. She
Somehow green eyes, she thought, only in cartoons.
It was a pupil I had never seen before in my life, but since this is the worldview of Miyeon City, I thought it might be like that.
“That… Brother, don’t look.”
“Why?”
“That… Because it’s dirty… “
The atmosphere calmed down for a while.
Perhaps she belatedly sensed her strangeness, Eunbi waved her hand in embarrassment.
“Ah!, I didn’t say oppa was unclean!!! I am!! I am an unclean being!!”
“No, why are you suddenly self-harming?”
“… That’s it… From the past… My eyes are ominous… I was always told that I was unlucky.”
So she puts on her lenses to hide those eyes.
“Ehh~ It’s not dirty. Look where.”
“Yes?”
I checked Eunbi’s pupils.
Very cloudy and unstable eyes.
It was true that it was even more frightening because it had four hundred eyes.
In terms of turbidity, is it level 2 yandere?
But Eunbi is only timid, she has never been obsessed with anyone.
The way you showed me was just a simple favor.
Besides, you’re not even a heroine, are you?
…… No, I don’t know that because I have an older sister.
Anyway, if you’ve been like this before you met me, I don’t need to overreact.
“Anyway, you mean you’ve always been like this since you were little?”
“…… Yes. That…… “
“It’s okay.”
“Aren’t you scared?”
I’ve seen similar eyes like this a lot.
On the contrary, I was relieved that I was not a yandere even though I had eyes like this.
A life of peace of mind with things like this…
“Yes. Well, it can’t be helped.”
“…… Black.”
“Hey! Why are you crying?”
“Like this… black… Who said it was okay… Black… Only my brother… ”
“Hey, I understand, so don’t cry.”
If anyone sees it, they won’t think I made it.
Oh, am I the one who rang?
Anyway.
I looked around.
First of all, I’m afraid that Lee Yoo-young is secretly watching this situation again.
Lee Yu-young You don’t know where that Honmono might be.
Well, by now, we must be preparing for our class festival.
Fortunately, no one was there.
“But… “
“Yes.”
“… That… Even if my brother is fine… Someone else… “
“Um… “
Eunbi was still full of worries.
She said that she didn’t have to wear contact lenses, but if I forcefully took her, it would only stimulate the trauma more.
“Today, I will go home first. I will tell you well.”
“Yes?”
“We can’t go back like this.”
“That… But… Others are at work… “
“It’s okay. The student council said it was okay to miss a day.”
It wasn’t a very busy time right now.
Starting next week, we will be very busy preparing for the cultural festival.
Until then, the student council said that if you wanted to take a day off, you could tell in advance and leave.
“But… It’s a nuisance to do this all of a sudden… “
“Did you leave your bag behind?”
“Yes? Ah… “
The bag seems to have been left in the classroom.
“I’ll bring it right away. Wait here.”
Standing up, I told Eunbi to wait and went down her stairs.
———
As soon as I opened the classroom door, my attention was drawn.
Some students asked if Eunbi was okay. Choi Ga-hee also seemed to be very worried.
“Yes, but I think Eunbi needs to rest today.”
“Yeah, don’t think about anything and tell me to rest.”
“Yes, that… Thank you so much Kahi-senpai.”
It’s not doable if you don’t even say thank you.
Senior Kahi said it was okay, but she thanked her again and found Eunbi’s bag.
“Is your bag heavy?”
I can feel the heaviness.
Judging by the sharply angled ends of the bag, it appears to contain a laptop.
Did you always wear this?
If you wear something like this on a small and weak body, you will sag without energy.
After asking permission from the student council executive, I went back to where Eunbi was.
“Brother, it was very heavy, right?”
“Yeah, how do you wear this?”
“I’m used to it… “
“Why do you carry a laptop?”
“Yes? That… For class… “
Eunbi just said that and shut her mouth.
Hmm… It’s a bit rare to bring a laptop to school, but it’s not unheard of.
There are cases where you learn programming on your own or bring it with you for assignments.
Other than that, I mostly carry a tablet.
“Thank you. Oppa, it’s heavy, so put it down.”
“Okay. I’ll give it to you on the first floor.”
“But… sorry.”
“Stop saying sorry.”
“Ah.”
Eunbi covered her mouth.
I smiled at how cute she was and decided to take Eunbi to her first floor.
“This is enough.”
Fortunately, Eunbi’s lenses were used to cover her eyes without prescription.
There was no problem going home alone.
“Goodbye then.”
“Oh, wait!!”
Eunbi rummaged through her pockets, saying that she almost forgot.
And it was the phone to me.
It was my phone.
“You dropped it earlier.”
It looks like he dropped it while getting up from the stairs earlier.
“That… The screen is not broken.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Yes… Thank you very much for many things today. Brother.”
Eunbi must have felt relieved. She smiled brightly, greeted me, and disappeared.
“I have to go to work.”
As I was about to return, my phone vibrated.
Miniri: Taeyang.
Miniri: What are you doing now?
