Chapter 186 – Like the Sun

Break time.

He leans against the hallway window and sighs. Seok Joo-hyeok called me. That too with a very urgent eye.

“What?”

[Yes. Really, really, sir. I was rejected.]

The eyebrows are twisted.

Rejected.

Seok Joo-hyeok panicked and immediately called me. The trembling in his voice shows that he can’t believe it himself.

‘Isn’t that what the fuck is?’

“Wait a minute. Time to think…”

[…Yes.]

No way, just in case. Just before it turns into certainty. The hope that remains in a corner of my heart rises slowly.

‘Did I just refuse this because I was embarrassed?’

I hope so No, it has to be.

“How was your reaction when you said no? Did you make eye contact?”

[Oh, no… I was just avoiding it…]

“Are your cheeks? Your legs? Aren’t you shaking and nervous?”

[A little bit of redness… It seems that the legs were shaking…]

“Then it’s because you’re ashamed.”

[Yes?]

Seok Joo-hyeok is flustered and asks back.

“Listen, Joo-hyeok. It’s just because you’re shy. You said your cheeks were red and you ran out when you returned to class? It’s because you’re shy, you’re shy. You know Si-yoon’s personality.”

Sullen and dark

At the same time, he covers people, and basically has a deep distrust of others. Except for me and Seok Joo-hyeok, he is the extreme introvert who can’t even have a proper conversation.

But after entering the academy, the person you’ve been close with suddenly confesses?

This is because it is not strange to run away right away.

In addition, the cheeks were blushing, the behavior was suspicious, and the eyes were averted?

Confirmed!

I avoided this because I was unconditionally ashamed!

[Ah… Come to think of it, the reason for the rejection… I said ‘I’m a gloomy woman, so I don’t suit you’-]

Look at that, it’s fucking right!

“It’s true that you ran away because you were shy! Now, Joo-hyeok. Listen carefully. The reason Si-yoon rejected your confession just a while ago was not because he wanted to reject it.”

[Uh, uh… Yes?]

Seok Joo-hyeok asks back, full of embarrassment. Even so, it seems to be half-colored. He probably doesn’t want to lose hope.

And that’s me too.

“Come on. Joo Hyuk. Think about it with common sense. Choi Si-yoon was by your side when you were having a hard time, he helped you whenever you had a chance, and he’s really not interested in you, a friend of the opposite sex? ‘It’s just that.”

[It was just a little faster…?]

“Huh.”

Nod.

“We’re not ready to accept your heart yet. We were too fast. It was so fast that Choi Si-yoon was just taken aback.”

[Ah. I understand now.]

Seok Ju-hyeok’s voice brightens a little.

“There’s no way Choi Si-yoon hates you. There’s no way you’ll feel unpleasant feelings toward the person who helped you from start to finish. I’m just ashamed of my personality, so I just dropped out. Don’t move right away. In the end, it’s a personality problem… How can I do it once? I’ll give it a try. And I’ll call you back when it’s ready, so until then, aim for a normal life as friends.”

[Yes, I understand, senior. Which.]

“Huh?”

[…Thank you.]

Pop.

The phone hangs up.

In the end, it’s a matter of ‘personality’. It’s a problem that can be solved if only the personality is somehow… Made brighter.

‘No, it’s just connecting, but why is it so difficult?’

I thought we would date each other right away, but I didn’t know there would be a problem like this. They said it was dark under the lamp, and that was true.

“I thought it was a personality problem…”

Let’s talk one more time.

At first, I was thinking of breaking it down by making Joo-hyeok say, ‘Yes, I like that part too’. Looking at it now, it seems more dangerous. In the first place, I ran away because I was shy, but if I followed you and said that, wouldn’t it run away by boat?

It’s counterproductive.

‘Let’s fix the junior’s personality.’

At least I’m not a dark kid to the root. People change 180 degrees just by looking at me.

“…Maybe that’s how it was originally.”

The situation was so bad that my personality became so dark.

“Whoa…”

You just need to slowly brighten your personality from the root. Then at some point, when you start to feel that you’re okay, that’s when you hit the last blow. Seok Joo-hyeok can do it.

If you’re thinking like that

“What are you doing here?”

Someone hugs me from behind.

Familiar chill. Big breasts. A slightly higher voice than her sister.

“Arin?”

“…They’ve been helping juniors lately. Are you still doing that?”

Iarin has a clear voice and speaks as if she is shooting at me. I can feel the jealousy slowly creeping up.

“Huh.”

“Who was the person you were talking to earlier?”

“The juniors I help. The two of them are nice guys, so I’m helping them connect.”

“…Just like how you reconciled me and your sister last time?”

“Huh.”

Nod.

“No, Taeho… I know you’re selfless. Do you really need to help me that much? It’s a love story that has nothing to do with you.”

“…”

It’s a problem because it has to do with me.

“There’s just a reason for that.”

Does Iarin not know why I am doing this? Thank god. It’s also seola. Her mouth feels heavy and reassuring.

“Haa… I don’t know what it is, but you look a bit in trouble. Taeho. Can I help you?”

“What can gaslighting do for you? That’s it. Don’t worry.”

“Aww…! Go, Gasrai… No, that’s right. Everything’s right… No, just don’t say it. It reminds me of me… I already have a girlfriend…!”

Ia Lynn trembles in her body. As much as she is extremely regretful, her entire body reacts with rejection. She waved her hand saying she knew.

“Did you know?”

Ia Lin strokes her own arm and then her eyes meet hers.

“Of course.”

Ia Lin nods her head quietly. Quietly, she steps away from me, and opens her lips that were her lips.

“You don’t care?”

“…I don’t use it. I shouldn’t even pay attention in the first place. I have no right to say anything about it.”

Iarin slowly takes my hand. Slightly warm She slowly looks up at me and smiles.

“Why, Taeho, do you care?”

“No.”

As I speak firmly, Ia Lin averts her gaze.

“Tae-ho…”

“Huh?”

“Love you.”

Iarin hugs me in front of me without saying anything. Even if she tries to forcefully remove it, she doesn’t even move. As she is held tight in my arms, she breathes heavily. Her bobbed blue hair swayed to and fro.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden…!?”

“…I don’t know. It’s just that I haven’t talked to Taeho recently… If I keep going like this, Taeho might run out of things and die…”

Ia-Lin rubs her face as it is. The weather is already cold for her, but she seems to freeze as it is.

“No, what are you supposed to do? Now, I’m suffocating for a moment…”

“That’s right. You hang out with Seol-ah often these days…? I’m having a headache because of returning to the family… Seol-ah is a little annoyed these days too? When I come back home, he’s laughing at what’s good… You say how long you’ve been together? Aren’t you bragging about this?”

“No, why did you do that to me-“

“So. I also want to make something to brag about. Taeho.”

Ia Lin suddenly burst out of her arms.

“Chung.”

She bumps her lips with mine. She even puts her tongue in and starts trampling her inside my mouth at random.

“Churup, churup, churup… Whoop, puha- haa… Haa…”

Ia Lin melts and looks at me with her hazy eyes. The air around her becomes cloudy with her dizzying spirit.

“…How about it? Is this enough to brag about?”

“…”

Irene pushes me. As she rubs her breasts against me, she looks at me with a half-melted look on her face. Even so, it seems dangerous to lick her lips.

“…I won’t do it, so don’t worry. Just, just… Can I make you satisfied with this much? Me too… I’m putting up with it very hard. To be honest, every time I see Tae Ho, I want to drag him to a dark place and do it right away.” I mean… But, you can’t do that.”

Because Tae-ho hates it.

“Therefore-“

“Seniors?”

Huh?

A familiar voice is heard from behind. Astonished, she turned her head and there it was.

“What are you doing here…?”

Choi Si-yoon was there.

“Ah, Taeho. Is this the junior you are helping?”

“Uh…”

“Wait for a sec.”

Ia-Lin is completely attached to her and falls away from her side. Seeing Lee Arin, looking down from above seems like saying something.

“Now that we’ve met, I’ll say something.”

“…Uh, uh… Yes?”

“Don’t come close to Tae-ho when he’s saying nice things. It gives you an ominous feeling.”

“…Yes?”

Siyoon Choi’s pupils shake.

“Wait, Ariana?”

“Tae-ho stay still.”

Iarin slowly sends me behind her. She is dragged helplessly.

“Boo, what an ominous feeling…?”

“It’s a woman’s intuition. Do you hang out with Taeho often? I know even if you don’t tell me. I always see Taeho every time I bump into the hallway.”

“That, that’s…”

Like a tiger and a rabbit. A rabbit trembles in front of a tiger.

“I’m taking care of you because I’m a junior. Even if I’m kicked out by my family right now, I’m not too weak. Do you know how much Seol-ah warned me at home? It’s to the point where a scab sits on your ear… Seeing it in person, it doesn’t make sense.”

Iarin comes closer and closer.

“Bonnie said you were bullied? Don’t worry. I’ll help you.”

“Yes?”

Choi Si-yoon is embarrassed by making a short sound.

No, wait what?

“No… Well, did you think I was scolding you? I’m not such a bad person.”

“No, that’s Arin-senpai…”

“It’s hard, but I can’t put salt on it. Haa… But I heard the news and ended it like this. I don’t intend to use hard-line measures such as stabbing my hand or pressuring me with the power of my family. No, I couldn’t even go back to my family…”

“…”

“Still, it’s the same that I’m going back soon. At least there will be no cadets here in the academy who take my warning lightly. Now you understand what I’m talking about? Huh? Junior.”

Ia-rin holds her junior by the cheeks and forcibly raises her head. Make eye contact with each other. In that state, Choi Si-yoon hardens.

“I’ll take over Taeho’s job. Get out of my man’s side.”

“…!”

Choi Si-yoon trembled in fear. No, stop it

“Arin.”

“Yea, I got it.”

Ia Lin relaxes her hands right away. Choi Si-yoon stumbles and tries to fall down, but barely stands up.

“My… My man…?”

“Yes. So give up.”

“No, I have a girlfriend-“

“Tae-ho, don’t interfere. He doesn’t notice.”

Fuck.

“…Uuuuu…”

Choi Si-yoon trembles and runs away as if running away. When I was about to follow Iarin strikes first.

“Ugh, uh, uh?”

“Stay still.”

While holding Choi Si-yoon as it is, she slowly stroked his hair.

“Sir, senior…?!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry for swearing just now. I mean it, but… Anyway.”

‘What the hell is this situation?’

His head can’t keep up with the situation.

Sick or give medicine? Carrots after whipping?

“Ooh, ooh…”

Ia-Lin stroked his head just like that and continued his words.

“I don’t want much. The garden is already full here?

“Eww…”

“I mean it by saying that I will help instead. After I return to my family, I will help with all my heart. He said he has some house problems. I will personally use someone to separate him from his parents and give him a new house. It’ll be comfortable enough. Do you need money? I’ll give it to you even if you don’t need it. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be expensive.”

“Stop, senior…”

Ia Lynn takes her wallet out of her pocket and hands her some money.

“Tell me if you’re having a hard time. If there’s someone bullying you, I’ll break your nose right away. I’m confident that I’ll treat you better than Taeho. Yeah, bitter… Looking at your eyes, I don’t intend to fall at all. Just don’t get too close.”

Lee Ah-rin roughly stroked Choi Si-yoon’s hair. Her eyes, filled with bewilderment, opened slightly.

“I have no intention of harassing you. I have no intention of throwing you out saying I hate it. Your heart is too weak to do that. I’m just helping you. So please, please.”

The two meet eyes. Not the same fearful eyes as before, but slightly hurtful eyes.

“… .”

Lee Ah-rin approaches Si-yoon Choi and whispers something. OK.

Last period, the class bell strikes.

“Now, go back to your class. If you’re having trouble… Call me now. Here’s my phone number.”

Ia Lin puts a small piece of paper in her junior’s hand. She then runs away as if she is running away with her class as she tuk-tuk hits her back.

“…”

What the hell… What’s going on…

However, it cannot be completely ignored.

Even if Ia Lin helps, no, she’s honestly very grateful in my situation. Still unstable

She wondered if she would kill herself as soon as recess was over, because she even ran straight ahead. Fortunately, nothing happened to her.

On the way home after school. She met Choi Si-yoon at the bus stop.

“Ah, hello, senior…”

“…”

Choi Si-yoon flinched and avoided my gaze and slowly sat down next to me with his cheeks blushing.

“Are you okay?”

“Nh, yes? Yes… Gwa, it’s okay…”

Choi Si-yoon hesitated and nodded his head. Originally, I was going to try it right away as soon as the call ended… But because of Iarin, time was pushed back.

“Senior…”

“Huh?”

“Am I, very… Ominous? No… Eh, am I very sullen?”

Choi Si-yoon speaks in a slightly submerged voice, half-crying. He immediately shakes his hand and replies no.

“No, no no? Not gloomy. Not gloomy? It’s just, what the hell… It just looks a little gloomy. It’s not that bad.”

Personality story came out. Swallow your saliva.

That word bothered me. Well, in Choi Si-yoon’s situation, her personality is complex. It must have been dug deeper.

“Ugh, yes… Go, thank you, senpai… Hee hee.”

Siyoon Choi smiles brightly.

“Yeah, but senpai… Actually, I have a problem…”

“Worry?”

“I, uh… I want to change my personality…”

Ah.

I’m sure.

This is dating advice.

I ran away because I was embarrassed at the confession, so it must be because of that.

“So, by the way… Senpai. Seo, what kind of personality do you like? Ho, by any chance, do you have a favorite personality?”

Choi Si-yoon avoids her gaze and looks at me, wiping away the tears she just shed. This is an opportunity that has rolled in. Can’t miss this one.

“I… What, I like bright personalities.”

Giving the will to change personality. In the situation where Choi Si-yoon relies on me, my words carry considerable weight.

Looking at the facial expression, the emotions revealed are no embarrassment, sadness, regret, or negative emotions at all. I just nod my head in agreement.

“Seo, senior… Bright personality. Bright personality… Bright personality… Bright…”

Siyoon Choi muttered with his head bowed. To put it mildly, I don’t know what you mean. Before I can intervene, a bus arrives at the bus stop.

“Ah… The bus… Stops, senpai… I’ll go first! See you tomorrow…”

Choi Si-yoon gets up from his seat and hurries into the bus.

The sun sets and the moonlight fades.

Even if you help me, there’s no way I’ll give up on my senpai.

Holding on to my pounding heart, I sit on the window seat of the bus and think. As expected, senpai liked a bright personality.

If so, there is only one thing I need to do.

‘Correction of personality…’

Only then can I get closer to my seniors. That, only then… Senpai…

Because you like it

It can change. Just have to change It doesn’t matter if a senior lives with multiple women. Ha, but… If I can’t fit in there… I’ll just kill myself. Therefore.

Absolutely must change

Whatever happens, it must change.

‘Bah, a bright personality… What is a bright personality…’

What kind of bright personality do you have?

Go through your messy brain and sort it out. What kind of a bright personality… How do you like a bright personality? What is the senior…

“Ah.”

Hearing God Dragon Regius.

Your favorite comic book.

In a gloomy worldview, gloomy characters. Among them, there is one character who is always bright and tough like Gungye Ilhak. My favorite character.

‘Rebecca.’

He has red hair, is very bright, and often quarrels with people around him, is the best person in the world, and is a trouble maker. A character who is the best in terms of ‘brightness’…

“Haha…”

You can do it.

Since it is a character in your favorite manga, it must be the closest to the ‘bright personality’ you like, right?

A strong will boils from the base. A will, as if it would explode at any moment.

Love spreads from the tips of the feet to the whole body.

“Hee… Hee hee…”

Because seniors like bright personalities. I can change. All I have to do is change

“Haha…”

She takes out the money she put in her pocket. Several crumpled 50,000 won bills spread out in the palm of your hand.

‘Don’t love Tae Ho.’

Recall what Arin senior said to her.

…No, I do not want.

I can’t. I already love you therefore…

“…Senior Taeho.”

I.

I will change.

Brightest… Brighter than anyone else… Brightest…

Like.

Like the sun

‘Something didn’t happen?’

My legs are shaking. I can’t hide my anxiety, and I can’t even concentrate properly in class.

Today.

Siyoon Choi didn’t come to school.

Even if I send a phone call or text message, he doesn’t answer… It’s lunch time soon…

“Ha…”

The lunch break paper strikes.

Still unanswered. The moment I was about to leave the classroom after letting out a short sigh.

“Senior eh eh!!”

Bang-!

“Uh?”

The door blows

“Ouch the fuck what, what?!”
“Ugh, uh…?!”
“It’s Cheonsu! It’s Cheonsu, it’s Cheonsu…!”
“What, what, what… Kellogg! Kellogg!”

Bu-wook – Covering his mouth with his sleeve from the rising smoke. Concentrate on the person in front of you.

As his fog begins to clear, the hidden figure is revealed. And as soon as I saw it.

Both eyes light up.

“… Poetry, Siyoon?”

Yellow blonde ponytail.

Slightly loose, loose-fitting clothing.

Dark circles disappeared.

And.

Even light brown tanned skin.

“I love you…!!”

A junior who has become a perfect ‘golden daughter’.

Confessing love without paying attention to the surroundings.

Run into my arms

“…Kkeuheouk!”

The impact similar to that of a traffic accident is transmitted to my stomach as it is! His eyes widened in pain, as if his cock were being torn apart.

“Senpai, senpai…!!”

Help me…
