“…?”

I had been lying on my desk, napping until lunchtime.

Suddenly, I felt something heavy press down on the back of my head.

“…What are you doing?”

“Hehe. Wake up already. Let’s go eat lunch.”

It was Choi Ye-Seo, laughing as she plopped her chest onto my head.@@novelbin@@

Back in the day, she would’ve blushed and acted shy, but the older she gets, the bolder she becomes.

Not that it’s a bad thing, though.

As Choi Ye-Seo pulled away, Ha Soo-Yul and Hong Ye-Hwa grabbed her arms and dragged her off. I didn’t care to ask where they were taking her.

I sat up and twisted my stiff body in all directions. My shoulders and back creaked loudly.

“Hoo.”

After loosening up, I stood and looked at the clock on the wall. Four classes had already passed, and it was five minutes into lunchtime.

If I hurried, I wouldn’t be late for lunch.

Stretching, I stepped out of the classroom and spotted Choi Ye-Seo trembling.

“…What’s wrong with you?”

Flanking her on either side were two people glaring daggers at her. Of course, their glares weren’t aimed at me but at Choi Ye-Seo.

“N-Nothing! It’s fine.”

Her forced smile only made things more suspicious. Oh well. She says she’s fine, so whatever.

Shrugging, I followed Ha Soo-Yul, who was already walking ahead, with the other two trailing behind me.

Walking to the cafeteria, I naturally looked around at my surroundings.

Kids playing soccer on the field, students bustling with various things in their hands.
