The next afternoon, I got out of bed dragging my head, which looked like it was about to explode. Tossing and turning last night, I fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Everything yesterday was like a dream. The afternoon sun warmly streamed in through the window, making everything that happened yesterday feel more like a dream.

Woo-jin, who clung to me so as not to give up on me, was actually thrown away by me and ran back home. It's too much to forgive myself at all. The guilt that was growing deep in my heart made my heart ache even more...... Is this the end result of this pact?

I scrambled into a change of clothes and flipped through the books I had borrowed from the library. In this case, I am probably the only one who can learn. Although my mind is confused, I need to state that I must get the scholarship.

In order to write a philosophical paper, I gritted my teeth and took out my notebook. I don't even want to think about yesterday. Especially in the natural pair competition...... Oh, can't think about it anymore!

I flipped through the philosophy book for about 30 minutes, and then decided to listen to Yan Ji's recorded lecture notes. To be honest, I just want to lie in bed and look at the ceiling, but that's not okay. (Ling Xiao is quite ruthless)

When I turned on the tape recorder, I heard the professor's slow voice. I made up my mind to finish the lecture today, and I did. Just about to applaud his patience for his progress, suddenly Yan Ji's voice came from the tape recorder.

[Say it quickly, and you will know by listening to it.] ］

[Alright, stop making a fuss.] What should I do if the handout is broken? ］

[It's not going to break, I'm all right.] ］

Yes...... At that time, Yanji and I were playing around with the tape recorder. The scene of that day is clearly in front of my eyes. After a few seconds of silence as expected, Yan Ji's curious voice came.

[What's wrong?] ］

At this time, it was He Yuan who came in. My heart fluttered...... From the tape recorder came the sound of Yan Ji walking out and opening the door.

[Sit down, how...... How did you get in? I didn't hear the doorbell ring...... ］

[Oh...... Your brother just came out of the house...... ］

[Sit down.] ］

[Hey, you can't sit on a girl's bed.] ］

[It's not casual!] I'll give you permission! Have a seat! ］

After that, we jokingly chatted about the ...... Shin Hyuk Won, you know what? At that time, I had some difficulty breathing because of my rapid heartbeat. I often seem very calm in front of you, but in fact I am so nervous in front of you.

The part of the tape recorder that scared me the most came out.

[No matter what I say about her, how we quarrel...... As long as I break up with Zhang Yuzhen, Sebin will definitely return to me. ］

［…… Why are you so sure? ］

[She likes my appearance, so she can save face when she takes it out!] ］

[I know that...... Do you still like her? ］

At that moment I really wanted to turn off the recording, but I decided to face it because it was reality.

[Hmm, like.] ］

His words made a big hole in my heart. It's a thing of the past, but why am I still like this...... Ling Xiao's foolish panicked voice came from the tape recorder.

[Mouth...... Thirsty, right? Ha ha...... Look at my hospitality...... Hehe...... I'll get you something to drink! ］

That's when I walked out of the room...... And then cry alone in the kitchen......

It's too painful. Even the memories still hurt me. Unrequited love with no end in sight, and now I really want to give up. If Woojin really likes me, there's no reason for me to reject him. No, he should be thanked.

After a while, a small voice came from the tape recorder. I should have been in the kitchen at that time...... I turned the recorder to the highest level and put my ears up.

[Like it?] Hum...... Shin Hyuk Won, you have really become a big liar. Why did you completely become another person in front of Ling Xiao? ］

It's clearly Heyuan's voice, but the style is not like him at all. If it weren't for prick up my ears and listening, I would really think it was someone else.

[Nothing to drink.] Hehe, why don't you drink some water, water? ］

[You just let me swallow my saliva?] ］

This is He Yuan's usual voice. A humorous and cheerful voice that is diametrically opposed to just now.

[Like it?] You've really become a big liar. ］

Is this saying that He Won told me that he liked Hyun Se-bin was actually a lie? …… What the hell is going on? Shin Hyuk Won, which is your true side?

"Sister, your friend is here."

Hae-jun suddenly stuck his head out of the crack in the door. I quickly turned off the tape and closed the book. After a while, my friend strode in.

"Woo, Woo Jin ......"

"I'm sorry for the sudden run. Because you've been shutting down ......"

"No, it doesn't matter. Have a seat. ”

It may be the first time I've seen Woojin since yesterday's incident, and he's not the same as before. I'm the same, because I'm embarrassed to stutter all the time.

"Where are you sitting?"

"Just sit on the bed."

"Is that okay?"

"When, when, of course!"

Ling Xiao, are you crazy? Why do you keep stammering?

"Drink, drink...... (My voice suddenly gets louder) What to drink? ”

"No, it's okay. I just drank it. ”

This awkward silence made me break out in a cold sweat. It's really embarrassing to go crazy!

"Why didn't you come to school?"

"Hmm...... Sleep, sleep in! Haha......"

"Lift your head up......"

"Huh?"

"Lift your head up."

Suddenly, I realized that I had kept my head down because of shame. I lifted my face slightly, and Woojin smiled softly.

"I came here to see you."

The voice of Woojin heard today is different from before. In the past, the voice always seemed to suppress something, but now the voice is much freer.

"So don't look down."

Alas...... I really don't like the atmosphere.

"Mouth, mouth is really not thirsty? I, I, I'm thirsty...... Well, I'll go get a glass of water and come back. ”

My voice was louder and stranger than I had ever imagined. Just as I was about to walk out of the room, Woo-jin, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly grabbed my wrist. My body froze straight there.

“…… Awkward, right? …… Tired, right? ”

“……”

"But now I want to call your name as much as I want, I don't want to suppress my feelings, I want to express how much I love you. I come to see you when I want to see you, and I hug you when I want to hug you. Ah, this doesn't seem to work without your consent......"

“……”

"If I want to hear your voice, I'll call you...... Even if you call me in the middle of the night, I'll come running. And also...... If you're with other boys, you don't want to show your crazy jealousy...... If you talk and joke with Shin Hyuk Won...... May also be angry. ”

“……”

"yes, I only have you in my eyes. Your smile, every move will make me die and come back to life. ”

Woo-jin's gentle voice made me bow my head again. His sincere confession warmed my heart. But the problem was that my heart was able to breathe as usual, and it didn't respond to his words at all.
