When I Returned, a High School Romantic Comedy Began

15. Aren’t you going to take me now?

“Why are you holding the spoon?”

It’s cold.

Because my bad intuition was right on target, I immediately felt a chill running down my spine.

She tried to snatch the spoon in her left hand, as if she wasn’t paying attention to my stern expression.

‘Absolutely not.’

Of course, I had no intention of giving up the spoon and quickly avoided her hand.

Chaerin said, frowning slightly.

“What are you doing?”

“That’s what I’m going to do.”

Can’t you see the people next to you right now?

My friend and the girls she brought with them, all of whom were obsessed with Osam Bulgogi, couldn’t take their eyes off us.

However, Chae-rin did not seem to be bothered by such gazes at all.

“They did it at the hospital.”

“Is this like a hospital?”

At the time, it was a single room, so no one was there and people looked at me as if they were going to cry if I said no, so I had no choice but to allow it. If it were a crowded place like this, I would never have allowed it.

Chaerin persistently asked me with a hand gesture that said it was natural.

“Give it to me quickly.”

“no.”

“Why do you keep throwing a tantrum?”

“Who is making a fuss…”

If we keep going like this, we won’t even be able to eat a single spoonful of rice until lunchtime passes.

No matter how much I said, she didn’t seem to have any intention of listening, so I gave a quick glance to her friend next to me.

‘Please try to stop him.’

However, even though they witnessed the desperate cry for rescue, they all pretended not to notice and just ate.

‘There is no difference between my friend and his friend.’

Even though she sighed and internally lamented her situation, Chaerin never stopped.

“Give it to me quickly.”

“under…”

I picked up the spoon, leaving behind her who was clinging to me persistently.

Chaerin also held onto her arm and didn’t let go, as if she had no intention of backing down.

I asked her in an earnest tone.

“Do we have to go this far?”

“Are you telling me to do whatever you want with a man saying two things?”

That’s a very s*xist remark.

She has not yet deleted the words she roughly said at the hospital from the algorithm in her brain.

As he continued to show stubborn refusal, water gradually started to appear at the corners of his eyes.

“How much have you done for me, but I can’t even do this…?”

“…”

Chaerin stimulated the heart with her moist eyes.

‘It’s happening again.’

At the hospital, he was worried about her excessive nursing care and whenever she showed signs of discomfort, he skillfully shed tears like a first-class actor.

I don’t know if it’s because she resembles her actress mother, but Chae-rin’s tears were so lively that I couldn’t ignore them.

‘Or maybe I’m just weak to women.’

The tears that a pretty woman like her sheds for Mosol are nothing short of outrageous.

That’s why I ended up falling for her even now.

“Ah, do it.”

“…”

The stinging gaze felt from those around me.

I wondered if I had to show this kind of behavior even in the cafeteria.

But the spoon was already placed on her.

‘Is this right?’

After thinking about it for a while and Chae-rin urging me to do so, saying that my arms were about to fall off, I finally swallowed the spoon she gave me.

“You really take that.”

“Big… gasp!”

…let’s ignore it.

Her friend bursts out laughing and the apes keep spouting exclamations.

My back was itching from the tremendous attention.

Chaerin must have been bothered by such a reaction, and while feeding her, she glared fiercely at her friends sitting nearby.

“What are you talking about? “Is this your first time seeing me eat?”

“This might be my first time seeing them being fed.”

Especially in the school cafeteria.

It is often seen that chicken couples eat together.

That kind of thing is enough to attract aggro, but what kind of person wouldn’t be interested if two people who aren’t even dating were to feed each other?

‘It would be okay if it wasn’t so pretty.’

Since she is the main character and is known to be pretty at school, everyone can’t take their eyes off her.

Of course, as she glared at everyone with her signature beast-like expression, the uncomfortable attention went away a little.

It was still uncomfortable, but…

Chae-rin didn’t pay any attention to those looks and steadfastly thrust the spoon at me.

“Come on, let’s eat vegetables together.”

The more I received attention from her, the more I felt like the school days I dreamed of were moving further away.

*

“It’s late…”

I definitely said Jaune would come to the library in the morning.

Even though there were only 10 minutes left until lunch time, he didn’t even show his nose.

‘It’s been a while since I wanted to chat with you.’

Two weeks without a pick-me-up was too long.

The time she spent reading books wasn’t bad, but the time she spent talking about her favorite books was very enjoyable for Hayan.

The inner intimacy that came from knowing his secrets alone.

Plus, we had similar hobbies, so talking with Jaune was happier than any experience I had had so far.

“under…”

That’s why I feel even more regretful.

Sometimes, when the door opens, I turn my head to see if I’m picking it up.

As time passed, I was disappointed with the reality that it was not him, and eventually the bell rang.

‘I have to go.’

With a disappointed heart in her heart, she cleaned up the library and entered the classroom.

Is Jaune in the classroom?

If he had forgotten his promise and came into class, he would have been a little offended.

But Jaune was nowhere to be seen in the classroom.

‘Did the teacher call you by any chance?’

At the moment, I was guessing various situations in my head as to why he didn’t come to the library.

“under…”

As soon as the classroom door opened, I saw him come in sighing.

Should I go and ask quietly?

‘Then it seems like I was only waiting for Jaune…’

Actually, while I was in the library, I looked at the clock and waited once every 10 minutes.

It’s still ambiguous to look at it rationally, and it’s a bit disappointing to just be a close friend.

The emotions somewhere in there cleverly deceived Hayan, who was still young.

“…”

Hayan, unable to do either this or that, just stares at Jaune.

He seemed to have not noticed her gaze at all and just sat down with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

“Hey, did you hear about Lee Joo-un?”

Meanwhile, his name was suddenly called from behind.

Hayan’s ears perked up as soon as his name was mentioned.

“What?”

“Park Chae-rin personally fed me.”

“… What kind of bullsh*t is that?”

“No, did you really pick up a spoon and put it directly into Lee Joo-woon’s mouth?”

She couldn’t believe her ears.

Chaerin, who is one of the top three prettiest girls at school but is known for being a bit picky, was fed in the cafeteria where everyone was?

‘Eh?’

I didn’t understand it at all.

But the more I thought about their relationship, the more I noticed something.

‘The reason why Joo-woon got hurt was because he was trying to save Chae-rin…’

The two of us left school together at the library.

He sacrificed himself to save his life in a life-threatening situation.

If you don’t have a close relationship, it’s a rather strange situation.

‘Then, since we were together at the library…’

A credible guess.

That was also the truth.

It was bound to take time for Chae-rin to feed Joo-woon and eat her own food as well.

When I barely left the cafeteria, the reserve bell rang.

“…”

It was unpleasant.

‘why?’

Why are you displeased with yourself?

I might be late because I had to eat.

I could understand because I knew that the two of them had an unusual relationship.

But even though I understood it in my head, my heart kept aching.

‘too bad.’

I promised.

It’s been a while since I was at the library, and I was really excited to chat about the books I read while he was away.

He broke his promise to himself by flirting with another girl.

‘…’

As much as I thought we were quite close, I also felt a great sense of betrayal.

I finally became friends with the guy I had been secretly watching since middle school.

I can’t believe I’m disappointed over something like this.

‘She probably doesn’t know more about Jaune than I do.’

Even though you haven’t been watching from behind for a long time like yourself, you suddenly appear and find your precious book friend…

The white eyes that always smiled at school were gradually losing their vitality, and I even felt an unpleasant aura.

She had a gloomy appearance that she would never have seen if she was normally bright.

At that time, a gloomy energy hovered over her and the atmosphere became unusual.

“White.”

“… Yes?”

A person with white hair came to visit.

He said with a slightly awkward smile.

“Sorry, I was going to stop by the library, but I had some work to do so I was late.”

At the apology Jaune gave her, her mood, which had been dark until now, gradually became as bright as sunlight.

She was clearly under low pressure.

When he came to my place on purpose and apologized with an expression on his face saying he had nothing to say, I felt a little relieved.

“hehehe, it’s okay, but you won’t look at me next time?”

As usual, a dazzling smile illuminated Jaune, like a sunflower in full bloom on a summer day.

Unusual mood swings.

If you kept looking nearby, you could have sensed something was wrong.

Her friends sitting next to her, Jaune, and even herself had not noticed that fact yet.

“I’ll come find you later after class is over.”

“Hmm… You’re not breaking it again, are you?”

Hayan responded to him in a playful tone.

He must have still felt sorry, so he smiled awkwardly and said he would go anyway, and she nodded, satisfied.

‘Ha… this is high school.’

Jaune saw Hayan’s bright smile and thought that only peaceful days were left ahead of him.

‘Rescue a child that needs to be saved and even win the lottery…’

It’s time to enjoy all the things you’ve always wanted to do with a peaceful mind.

“Aren’t you going to take me now…?”

I thought so.
