Episode 87
Class 1 A.
The atmosphere of the students was excited about the festival that was just around the corner.
“Do you have any appointments at the festival?”
“me? of course. Why do you include me?”
A group talking about the schedule of the festival.
“Aren’t you looking forward to the next class match? I don’t even have Adela anymore.”
“Class S? Now it’s food~ Eun-ah would just destroy Min Seong-hyuk?”
A crowd celebrating Adela’s return.
“Have you decided on a partner?”
“me? Well, how about it?”
“What are you hiding? let me know!”
A group of people trying to decide on a partner to participate in various events during the festival. And among them, there was a group of people who gathered around famous people in the school.
“Aya, how are you?”
“Guys must have sent a lot of messages to Eun-ah, right? There are many fun events this time.”
“Ah~ Then Eun-ah must have already decided on a partner, right?”
Kim Eun-ah is a class A female student talking next to her. Kim Eun-ah was lost in thought with a puzzled look on her face.
‘…partner? I forgot the festival itself, but what…’
However, it hurts my pride to say straight away that I don’t have a partner.
“What…that’s right?”
Let Eunah Kim answer with a shy face. The group of three female students had their eyes shining.
“also!”
“Oh I see! Eun-ah partner!”
“who?”
“Isn’t it Shin Yooseong?”
“Ah, yes! Same party!”
Suddenly, the story about the partner flows toward Shin Yoo-seong.
“…Honestly, isn’t he very handsome?”
“that’s right. And you’re strong! Adela won too!”
“Looking at it that way, do you think you would be a good match for Eun-ah?”
While the three female students chatted and laughed happily. Kim Eun-ah was lost in thought.
‘…Shin Yuseong?’
It has been quite a while since Kim Eun-ah saw Shin Yoo-seong while spending time with Kim Joon-hyeok, who woke up from a coma. The moment I wanted to thank you for meeting you.
The festival was a good opportunity.
However, Kim Eun-ah was in trouble.
‘Finally… there’s something I want to say.’
Now, Kim Eun-ah could not hear the noise of the female students next to her.
‘But if I apply…I just want to talk. Isn’t the picture a bit strange?’
Above all, when I asked if she had a partner, Kim Eun-ah felt lost. Kim Eun-ah’s heart continues to wander. The female students next to each other had already dispersed, but Kim Eun-ah was still immersed in her thoughts.
‘…but now that I think about it, isn’t it okay to ask? It’s no big deal, right? We are party members…’
Kim Eun-ah begins to rationalize as her thoughts deepen.
‘Rather… isn’t it strange that I care?’
In the end, Eunah Kim, who finished the rationalization, sent a message with a cool feeling.
[KimsilverA: What are you doing during the festival?]
Kim Eun-ah was proudly looking at the message she sent.
[Shin Yoo-seong: Haunted house.]
Shin Yoo-seong’s message arrived soon after.
“No, not this…”
Kim Eun-ah muttered softly and then sent another message.
[KimsilverA: No, not in class. What are you doing?]
[Yooseong Shin: I haven’t decided yet]
Eunah Kim seemed to be in a good mood at the message from Yuseong Shin who returned.
Kim Eun-ah sent a message with a relaxed expression.
[KimsilverA: Then, would you like to go out together from 6? Don’t hate it.]
Maybe because of her last pride, Kim Eun-a insists on adding the word [don’t hate it]. However, unlike the cool message, Kim Eun-ah was subtly paying attention to the answer.
5 seconds longer than any other time.
Tring!
Shin Yoo-sung’s message has arrived.
[Shin Yoo-seong: Yes, I like it.]
Shin Yoo-seong’s answer is accepted.
‘That’s right!’
Kim Eun-ah, feeling better, put her chin on her chin and laughed loudly.
* * *
Class F gathered to prepare for the festival.
Renia, who was in front of the blackboard, nodded with a serious expression at Shin Yoo-sung’s surprise idea.
“…Good?”
Standing near the podium was none other than Sumire’s skeleton.
“Just tap!”
A skeleton that automatically moves when Sumire summons it. Even picky Lee Si-woo admired Shin Yoo-seong’s idea.
“Certainly… there are no other skulls of this quality anywhere?”
“I mean! These undeads can beat Class D! awesome! Sumire!”
Let Rhenia, who has taken over the management of the haunted house, sincerely praise you. Sumire was somehow embarrassed.
“yes? Is that… about that?”
“That much? Whoa…. Burn in a skeleton in a bat! It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a characteristic for a haunted house!”
Let Lenia get lucky.
The students of class F began to praise Sumire’s characteristics one by one.
“This ghoul… is really scary.”
“You don’t even need a disguise for this, do you?”
“I’ll only trust you, Sumire!”
Despite the attention from the class F students, Sumire just smiled awkwardly as usual.
* * *
7 o’clock at night.
Perhaps because they were preparing for the festival, the academy students returned home later than usual.
Bubbly.
Even on the way back to the dormitory with Sumire, Shin Yoo-seong was deeply troubled thinking about Shin Ha-yoon.
[I know you. If you are a lofty and strong-willed person, you will persevere no matter what.]
Shin Yoo-seong could tell from Shin Ha-yoon’s expression. Clearly, Shin Ha-yoon wanted Shin Yoo-seong.
[…But are your colleagues like that?]
Shin Ha-yoon smiling with her mouth closed.
It was clear that Shin Ha-yoon’s usual personality would do anything to get what he wanted.
Shin Yuseong looked at Sumire, who was walking beside him.
The current Sumire was quite different from the dark appearance she had shown at the beginning. And it wasn’t just Sumire.
‘…I’m sure it’s the same.’
Yooseong Shin really enjoyed the time he spent with the party members at Gaon Academy. If only he had learned how to become strong and how to stand on his own from King Kwon at Musin Mountain. At the academy, I learned to share.
share the good things
share sad things
Yooseong Shin learned a lot while sharing various emotions. Not only on the inside, but ironically, Shin Yoo-seong was stronger externally than when he only pursued training.
To Shin Yoo-seong, the party members are now family.
‘…to threaten such party members.’
Shin Yoo-seong’s expression hardened coldly. I didn’t want to lose anything anymore. The difficult training in Mt. Musin was to win something and protect what it had.
‘I have no choice but to become stronger.’
Kwak-
Ak- Shin Yoo-seong unknowingly clenches his fist. Sumire looked at Shin Yuseong with worried eyes. But I didn’t ask why.
He just rubbed his cold fingers and blew hoho.
“Ugh, even in April… the weather is chilly for me. It must still be spring…”
Sumire’s words awaken Shin Yoo-seong from deep thoughts.
“…that’s right.”
Nevertheless, Shin Yoo-seong’s expression was darker than usual. The Shin-Oh family comes back even though they clearly abandoned themselves. Competition and various preparations to prove one’s skills. Shin Yuseong had a complicated mind.
Sumire tried to say something while watching such a new meteor, but swallowed it back.
‘Yeah, that’s presumptuous.’
It was the first time that Sumire had seen Shin Yoo-seong in such agony.
‘…If only I could be Yoosung’s strength at a time like this. How nice would it be?’
Just as Shin Yoo-seong saved herself, Sumire wanted to save Shin Yoo-seong. I wanted to comfort Shin Yoo-seong as if he had been comforted.
It’s the first time I’ve had this kind of heart for anyone. But Sumire didn’t know how.
Bubbly.
A field of flowers that gradually spreads along the promenade. Sumire found something and stopped in the flower field.
“Ah, that…”
Sumire pointed to a white flower. Sumire approached with a somewhat happy face and picked a flower.
“…It’s a white violet.”
“violet?”
“yes. I’m not very knowledgeable about flowers… I know this flower. It’s the same as my name. Oh, I’m sorry… You wouldn’t even be curious.”
Let Sumire smile shyly. Shin Yooseong shook his head slowly.
“curious. But Sumire, it has an important meaning to you, right?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s kind words made Sumire’s ears hot again.
‘Important meaning….’
White violets.
and Shin Yooseong.
Sumire remembered what her mother, Suika, had said.
[oh! Are you a violet? really pretty! A flower like this blooms in the yard…]
[What? Why did you name yourselves violets? Um, of course… is it pretty?]
Suika, who smiled brightly, patted Sumire on the back saying it was a joke and then explained again.
[Sumire. Do you know the flower language of white violets? don’t know? You really… that’s why I finally came up with a name…]
Suika bit her lip with a disapproving face, then opened her mouth again.
[The flower language of white violets is innocent love! …Sumire, you are the proof that Shintaro-san and I loved more than anyone else. Side!]
After that, Suika kissed Sumire on the forehead. Innocent and innocent love that doesn’t even ask for anything in return. A love worthy of anything. Sumire was able to understand a little what Suika said.
Knock.
Sumire plucked a white violet and put it in Shin Yoo-seong’s ear. And then, Sumire smiles mischievously.
Seeing Sumire’s mischievous appearance for the first time, Shin Yoo-seong’s expression became dazed.
“…Sumire.”
The reason Sumire did this was to ease Shin Yoo-seong’s mood, which seemed dark all the time.
Now, the festival is just around the corner at the academy.
Sumire mustered up a little more courage.
“Miss Meteor, please be my partner in the Choo Festival!”
Sumire immediately lowered her head with the declaration of anger .
Shin Yuseong looked at Sumire and opened his mouth.
“sorry. I already have an appointment for the afternoon.”
“…to!?”
Sumire, who knew that she had no partner, developed an unexpected development. Sumire was dumbfounded on the spot.
