I didn't see Hewon at school for the next few days. He neither attends dinners nor answers his cellphone. Because I couldn't see him, I could only live every day with my heartache.

I may come to a club meeting today, and my heart is like an inflated balloon, but the needle of reality has pierced it mercilessly. After making my heart full of holes, I actually cut off contact...... He didn't even show his face...... Shen Heyuan, you are amazing!

After class, I slowly walked down the stairs with a pile of books in my arms. Because I didn't see He Yuan, my heart slowly sank in disappointment, and even my head ached. I really want to go home early and get some sleep.

"Hey, Zhang Yuzhen...... Can't you hear me? ”

I don't know where a familiar voice came from, and I instinctively looked around. Not far away, Hyun Se-bin and Zhang Yuzhen were talking.

What He Yuan said really seems to be right. Even if Woo-jin really likes me, it's hard to abandon Hyun Se-bin to me. For me, that's probably a good thing. Just leaving no trace of the contract and going back to the past may be the best ending. As at the beginning of the contract, Woo-jin has been with Hyun Se-bin...... He Yuan himself ...... I'm myself......

I unconsciously stood there stunned and looked at Woojin and Hyun Se-bin. Woo-jin, who had been bowing his head and sighing at the words of Hyun Se-bin, suddenly raised his head again and met my gaze. In a hurry, as if I were a sinner, I immediately turned my head away.

"Ling Xiao ......"

Hearing Woo-jin's trembling voice, I turned my head in embarrassment and moved the corners of my mouth.

"Yo...... Ah, yes. ”

I don't know if it's because Hyun Se-bin is glaring at me, and my voice is shaking violently. Woo-jin ran towards me in a panic like a sinner, but—

"Ouch!"

Woo-jin, who rushed over, collided with the chubby psychology professor.

"Classmate Zhang Yuzhen, have your eyes reached the back of your head?"

"Ah, teacher! I'm so sorry because I'm in such a hurry......"

"What's so in a hurry? …… Is it to go to the bathroom? ”

"No, it's not! It's because ......"

Woo-jin, whose face was flushed, sweated, looked at me anxiously through the professor's shoulder. I smiled at him, who didn't know how to be good, and then continued to move and stop.

"Ling Xiao! Ah, really. Teacher, what are you doing here? Please give way, Teacher! ”

Woo-jin, who was caught by the professor and could only stomp his feet, had a loud voice behind him. At that time, I laughed out loud before I knew it. But it took less than three seconds for my expression to return to its original state. As I walked to the main entrance of the school with a melancholy mood, someone grabbed my arm from behind.

"That...... It's Ling Xiao, right? ”

I turned my head and found that it was Moon Jung-heon who was looking at me sadly.

"Oh......"

"Hello. I'm a friend of Hewon's called Moon Jung-heon...... Can you talk to me if you're not busy?

"I'm sorry to delay you."

"It's okay."

“…… I'm looking for you...... I want to tell you about Hewon......"

Sitting in the center of the café in front of me and Jeong-heon, the thick coffee was steaming. The word "Hyukwon" suddenly spit out from Jeongheon's mouth made my heart stiffen. Feel...... Not so good.

"He, Heyuan...... What's wrong? ”

“…… The first thing I want to tell you is ......"

“……”

"He Yuan and I were classmates in six years of middle school. So I know a lot about what kind of person Hewon is. ”

“……”

"But just a few weeks ago, I saw the Heyuan who was a stranger to me. Although they have been friends for seven years, He Yuan looks like that...... It's the first time I've seen it. ”

Moon Zhengxian, as if he was deliberately trying to make people anxious, slowly drank coffee and talked. I had no interest in the coffee in front of me, just swallowing hard.

"Do you remember? On the day of the party, in the corridor of the hall, you, me, and He Yuan? ”

"Hmm."

"You two, did you quarrel then? The atmosphere was bad. I don't want to ask you why you're arguing, I just want to say ......"

“……”

"That day, I ...... for the first time I saw He Yuan crying. ”

My heart was sinking, sinking very low, very low.

"Crying, crying? Is it Heyuan? ……”

At that time, I vaguely remembered what Masaken had said. But, I thought they were joking...... I wanted to turn around because I was curious, but I didn't do it because of my pride......

"Well, I was really scared to see that kid crying. He pretended to be strong on the surface, pretending not to care about anything, but that kid was actually a very fragile person. It's a poor guy who has never felt love, so he won't love either...... Of course, he's also a fool who doesn't know who he's in love......"

“……”

"I don't know what the reason is, but didn't He Yuan tell you at that time, you feel annoyed, and I feel annoyed too? Oh, maybe I was so frightened that I remembered it clearly, but the kid bit his lip hard when he said this. Maybe it was too hard for him to say that, and his lips were bleeding in order to endure it. ”

“……”

"After you walked away like that, the kid banged on the wall like crazy, and finally disappeared in the car, and he called me that night and said they wanted to drink together."

“……”

"When I arrived, he was drunk. Yes...... It's incomprehensible. Shen Heyuan, that kid is a person who will never let people see that in his life......"

“……”

"What's even more ridiculous is that you know what that kid has been talking about?"

“……”

"It's all a lie, it's a lie...... Say what you say...... It's all a lie. ”

A wave of sadness rushed up my neck. My neck hurts so much that I can't even swallow my saliva.

"And the kid...... I'm still doing that. ”

“……”

"Do you know what you're talking about this time?"

“……”

“…… You. ”

"Huh?"

“…… said it was Ling Xiao. ”

He, Heyuan.

My heart has been torn to shreds. Just because of Zhengxian's words, he fell into the abyss that can never be recovered.

"Where is He Yuan now?"

"...... at home"

“…… Then I'll go see him now. Jeongheon, thank you for saying this to me. ”

"Wait a minute, Ling Xiao......"

“……”

"That kid, he's very sick right now. Go and take good care of him. ”

My throat hurt so much that I couldn't answer. I rushed out of the café and ran frantically to Hewon's house.

Shen Hyuk Yuan...... You're not a fox, you're such a big stupid bear!
