#56. That’s not how I draw it.
“That… So, don’t bully Inwook!”
When Si-hwa was in love, Lee Ji-eun stuttered her words and tried to protect me.
“You know what I said before.”
“What… On the subject of rejection?”
The relationship between the priests seems to end here. Ji Eun-ah.
It was a short time, but I will never forget you for the rest of my life.
“Choi Inwook.”
“…Yes.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Naturally, respectful words came out.“What is he?”
“As for that friend… He transferred to our academy today…”
“It’s Lee Ji-eun!”
Her figure, which had looked dazed for a moment, went where she called out her name in her loud voice.
“Who are you and you keep ignoring me without introducing myself!”
“You Shihwa.”
She gave her no further explanation.
“I’m Yu Shi-hwa.”
“That’s right! Sihwa-san! Anyway, can you please stop interfering with my private moment with Inwook?”
Lee Ji-eun leaned towards me and stared at Yu Shi-hwa.
At this point, maybe Lee Ji-eun has some talent.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how you choose words, it’s full of controversial guys like that…“Aha. That’s right. You’re saying that I’m the one who interrupted your private time. That’s right. Choi In-wook?”
“You saw it right!”
Shut up. A little.
She couldn’t come out of her mouth, but the harsh words almost came up to the top of her true throat.
“No, no. I’m just a guide with Ji-eun! Uh, I was asked by the teacher to guide me…”
Waving her hands with all my might, I tried to match Sihwa’s mood.
“You are a saboteur. When did I say I treated you like that?”
“But Inwook-san. Shihwa-san interrupted our sacred ceremony…”
I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I raised my index finger and put it to her mouth.
“…I’ll listen to you later. Later. Be quiet for now. Okay?”
Lee Ji-eun stopped what she was saying and looked up at me, blinking her eyes.
In the meantime, it turned out cute.
When she shuts her mouth, her double belly looks plump. Ji Eun-ah.
Fortunately, the bell rang to announce the class time, and the time to dry blood with Sihwa ended there.
“…I’ll talk to you later. Choi Inwook.”
After leaving her words, Sihwa went back to her own classroom.
I took a deep breath as I looked at her as she moved away.
“…Can I speak now?”
Lee Ji-eun, who was quietly next to me, asked me carefully.
“Yes. Let’s go now.”
I wanted to nag, but I didn’t have the energy or time to do so.
I thought it might have been the longest lunch break in my life.
A little over an hour can be this long.
I was completely exhausted and half-excited to attend class in the afternoon.

“So, after school, go and do your chores. Shall we meet in front of the gym after dinner?”
“Is this my job?”
“No, how is this your job?”
Lee Ji-eun was arguing with me in front of the deformed office.
“I can even join clubs!”
“Hey. There are many other good ones. What can I recommend?”
“But Inwook isn’t there!”
“In the beginning, club activities aren’t the goal!”
It was none other than our manager who ended the endless battle with Lee Ji-eun. It was Oh Tae-soo.
“Hey! Inukkun! Ugh? Who is that? That pretty wife?”
Talking to the twenty-three-year-old subject was almost the same as my uncle looking at fifty.
“We’re just a classmate. I’ll clean up and go in soon. I’m going in first. Senior.”
“No, why are you organizing me! Am I a thing? Is it okay for someone who will become a real teacher to be like this?”
You just talk a lot. My son-in-law
First, let’s start with the practice of silent silence.
“You, Inwook. Following our Jena, Sihwa is not enough, so are you planning on meeting a new wife!”
“Mr. Jena?”
Ji-eun Lee tilted her head and called Jena’s name again.
“Hmmmm… Miss. The flower of this monster painting club Deforme. Don’t you know Hayena?”
“Oh, how pretty are you?
At the manager’s words, Lee Ji-eun looked at him with interest.
“Of course! Jena’s personality is a bit off, but she’s a bubbly child. It’s a bit of a waste to give it to someone like Inwook.”
…Do you want to be a father or something?
I couldn’t help but laugh at the manager’s words.
In fact, Jena’s father had the opposite personality from Oh Tae-soo.
He was very reticent and had a serious personality.
“Anyway! Well… If you’re interested in our wealth, let’s drink tea~ Miss~”
I sent a fierce refusal to the manager with my eyes, but it didn’t seem to reach him.
“And really? Thank you!”
When the manager opened the door and entered, Lee Ji-eun followed him in the back.
Ah… I’m craving a cigarette.
With that thought, I went into the bankruptcy room with them.
* *
“Wow”
Lee Ji-eun exclaimed when she saw the picture of Jena hanging in the middle of our office.
In a way, I thought it was a natural reaction. I also got goosebumps when I first came.
“Who drew that?”
Perhaps because her reaction was so good, the manager seemed to be in a good mood.
“Now that too~ The representative beauty of our club. It’s the work of Buwon Hayena.”
Mr. Tae-su nods his head and makes a happy expression.
“Wow… Yena looks good at drawing and has a pretty face!”
Are you going to do just that? Coffee is good too. It was S-class.
Jena’s praise. I was confident that I could do better than anyone else.
“Then you only draw pictures of monsters like that every day here?”
“Well… First of all, it’s a painting club, but I’d like everyone to think of it as a wealth to just relax and play.”
Taking advantage of her confusion, her manager, seated in her bed, answered her with only her face sticking out.
“That’s great! I want to join too!”
“What!”
The manager kicked the duvet with his foot, got up from his seat, and started looking through the filing cabinet in a hurry.
“Application for admission… Application word for application… Choi In-wook! What are you doing! Find your application quickly!”
…I don’t want him to come in?
“Ji Eun-ah, I think other activities other than painting would be more interesting.”
But my conciliation came to an end following the shouting of the manager.
“Go! You, Inwook Choi! Are you, now a member of Deforme, trying to steal personnel from other departments? You got orders from another department! Tell me right now!”
Ah… I’m sorry, can you please stop doing this?
The thought that Ji-eun Lee and her manager would be like this here every day, I started to get dizzy.
Profit.
I heard the door open.
“Hello.”
It was Jena’s voice.
“Oh! Are you in Yena? Honey, if we do well this year, it could be a bountiful harvest~ Yena~”
Unlike the manager who made a lot of fuss with her, Jena put down her bag with a sullen expression as always.
“What else is a bountiful harvest? Isn’t it something like a bountiful harvest by only displaying my works during festival exhibitions?”
“Hey. Am I even going to do that~ Take what you can recycle from last year!”
…Are you saying that you’re not going to do anything?
“Voila, it’s our new member!”
The manager went behind Lee Ji-eun and grabbed her shoulder with both hands.
“It’s Lee Ji-eun!”
Lee Ji-eun first reached out her hand to Jena, who looked a little embarrassed.
“Thank you!”
“Ah… Yes. Please take care of me too.”
Jenna looked at me with a look of what is this again.
“Mr. Jena, right? The manager talks a lot!”
“Oh, yes. My name is Ha Ye-na. But it’s a face I’ve never seen before, right?”
“Yes! I transferred from another academy today.”
“Okay.”
After finishing her handshake, Jena came towards me.
“How are you feeling?”
You’re worried about my body even in this chaos.
“It’s a lot better. Thanks to her arms, everything seems to be getting better.”
“Well then, I’m glad. But how did Ji-eun get to know you here? She’s a club that even her existing students here don’t know very well.”
“Ah, that’s because Inwook brought me here!”
“…Is that Choi In-wook?”
“Yes!”
“…I’ve never seen anything like public relations before. Do you think your transfer student really liked it?”
Jenna looked at me with excitement.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No… It’s not… He’s after me…“By the way, Mr. Inwook! Where is Mr. Inwook’s painting? The one that Jena drew is hanging over there.”
“Because I can’t show what I have to others.”
Actually, I painted under Jena’s guidance for about two months, but progress was sparse.
How much better than the first?
But it was definitely not a good drawing.
“Ah, I think we’ll be drawing together in the future, but show it to me~”
I came here to draw anyway, so I took out my sketchbook from the bookshelf.
I opened it up to see if I could finish the painting I was working on most recently, but next to me, Lee Ji-eun started to laugh.
“Wow, Mr. Inwook. I thought I would be good at everything, but there were some things I couldn’t do!”
“There are many things you can’t do. Don’t make fun of them.”
It was the first time that an outsider, not a member of my family, had seen my painting, and I expected it, but to be honest, I was a little offended by such a reaction.
I learned that I studied hard… Well… Because each person is good at something different.
“Can I tell you? That’s not how I draw it.”
“Okay… If you’re going to join, just draw your picture hard.”
“Ah~ Because it’s real? It’s all because I met the wrong teacher.”
I didn’t mind making fun of a picture that I couldn’t draw, but I didn’t want sparks to bounce off Jena.
“There’s nothing wrong with the person who taught me. It’s just that I can’t draw.”
“Then give me this opportunity once…!”
“… Choi In-wook. Learn from me.”
Jena’s voice came from behind the two of us.
“If you draw that well, why don’t you show it to me?”
She turned her head to look at Jena’s mouth and smiled, but her face was hardened.
